Almost identical in body design to last year's DMC-FZ7, Panasonic's new Lumix DMC-FZ8 carries the torch as the smaller of the company's superzooms, not counting the even smaller DMC-TZ3, which doesn't include manual exposure controls and is targeted at a different audience. The FZ8 brings with it a handful of updates over the FZ7. Among these are an increased pixel count of 7.1 megapixels (up from 6 megapixels), the number of autofocus points has been bumped up to 11 (instead of 9), and TIFF capture has been replaced with raw capture, which should please advanced shooters by providing more flexibility when tweaking exposure and white balance.
Like the FZ7, the FZ8's body design is just what you'd want in a superzoom. Surprisingly compact but still big enough to shoot comfortably with two hands, the FZ8 has all the controls on the right hand side, so one-handed operation is possible if needed. Overall, Panasonic did a good job of the control system. The tiny yet responsive joystick lets you quickly select AF points or set exposure compensation. White balance, ISO, AF mode, and image size and quality find their home in the main menu. Other functions, such as bracketing, flash compensation, timer, and flash mode are accessed through the five-way touch pad. We found these buttons a bit small, and there is definitely room for larger ones, but we didn't have much trouble using them in our field tests.
In case you don't want to shoot in one of the manual exposure modes, which include aperture- and shutter-priority, as well as full manual, Panasonic includes 20 preset scene modes. We were a bit miffed to find that the camera's ISO 3,200 setting is available only by selecting the High Sensitivity scene mode. However, it seems Panasonic's motives may be pure, as the manual clearly points out that the aggressive, and in our field tests fairly effective, noise reduction algorithms blur away a lot of the images' effective resolution in this mode. Sometimes manufacturers like to set apart modes such as these that can have an adverse effect on image quality. Panasonic doesn't suggest making prints larger than 4x6 inches with this mode, and we agree, but it might come in handy in particularly dark shooting conditions. We would rather Panasonic had just put the setting with the rest of the ISO options and made the same note in the manual under that heading.
We wish the company were just as straightforward with the naming of its "extended optical zoom" feature. This feature, sort of like digital zoom, lets you extend the camera's effective zoom by cropping down the pixel resolution. The name of the mode is extremely misleading and shows a blatant disregard for their consumers' understanding of cameras. Ultimately, if you don't mind ratcheting the resolution down to 3 megapixels or less, you can let the camera crop down the lens' field of view to approximate what you'd get from an 18x zoom. Since you could just as easily crop after the fact, we see little point in doing this, especially since you never know what photographic gems may lie in the cropped-out portions.
In our tests, the Lumix DMC-FZ8 performed well, though in most cases it was a tad slower than its 5-megapixel predecessor. The FZ8 took 2.71 seconds from start-up to capturing its first JPEG. Subsequent JPEGs took 1.78 seconds between shots with the flash turned off, and 2.08 seconds with the flash enabled. When capturing raw images, the FZ8 took 3.88 seconds between shots. While that may seem like a long time, it's not shabby for a superzoom. The 11-point AF system tends to lock on subjects rather quickly, so it's no surprise that the shutter lag measured 0.6 second in our high-contrast test, which mimics bright shooting conditions, and 1.3 seconds in our low-contrast test, which simulates low-light conditions. In continuous-shooting mode, the DMC-FZ8 churned out 2.12 VGA-size JPEGs per second or 1.47 7.1-megapixel JPEGs per second.

Officials to review local unsolved murder
Man shot three times, killed in 1985
Jan. 19, 1985, a Saturday, was bitterly cold in North Texas. Many across the region were snuggled in, awaiting the Super Bowl match the following day between the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins.
In Archer City, Billy Tom Gillispie left his home at 503 West Elm St. to feed some livestock. When he hadn't returned home after dark, his wife, Carol, became concerned.
She called the Archer County Sheriff's Office shortly after 8 p.m. Deputies searched the area and about 3:15 a.m. Sunday, found Gillispie's body behind a storage building on his property, just about 150 yards from his house.
He had been shot three times. His killer — or killers — were never found.
Now 27 years later to the day, the sheriff's office is taking a fresh look at the case — the only unsolved homicide on the books in Archer County.
Sheriff's office Sgt. Simon Dwyer is lead investigator.
"Thanks to technology and possibly the eroding of loyalties, we may be able to possibly develop a suspect or suspect at this time," Dwyer said Thursday.
He was referring to modern DNA testing and the possibility that with the passage of so many years, someone might be willing to talk who was not willing to do so then.
"Loyalties change over the years and people that may have perhaps wanted to cover for a friend or loved one may now be willing to speak," he said.
Dwyer said more than one suspect might have been involved in the killing, but he declined to speculate on a motive.
He said Gillispie was shot three times with a small caliber weapon, once in the head, once in the chest and once in the side.
He's hopeful anyone who has any information might come forward.
"We need someone to come forward to fill in a few little gaps that may be the big break we need."
Jack McGaughey, 97th District Attorney, said a grand jury looked into the murder at the time to get testimony on record, but the case never entered the indictment stage.
Dwyer said Gillispie, 55, had been a well-respected man in Archer County. He was co-owner of G and L Dozer Service Co., an Army veteran and a member of several local organizations.
Anyone with information on the case may call the Archer County Sheriff's Office at 940-574-4333.

Before signing up for Ex Gay BFs, the promo info makes it seem that you're signing up for revenge porn, because you'll see selfies all over the tour. In reality, though, you're really getting your standard run-of-the-mill nonexclusive site featuring gay amateurs. There's a mix of solo and hardcore action with twinks, jocks and more average-looking guys.
You'll also appreciate that although there are a ton of white dudes on ExGayBFs, you'll also see Latinos, Asians and black hunks, as well as all-ebony gay sex and interracial action. There are some hot threesomes in the video section, as the pics mostly depict masturbation with only a limited number of them showing hardcore man-on-man couplings.
Updates appear to be frequent with six new flicks in the last 30 days, not to mention the photos added in between. They might be rotating the content, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt until our next visit. At any rate, you'll find 106 videos and 267 photo galleries. You can save all your favorites for easy masturbation reference later, as well as rate the content and leave comments.
There are tabs for high-def vids and high-res pictures, but they both turned out to be empty. Instead, you can count on good-quality playback from the movies in the "SD" (standard definition) tab. The photo sets are good enough, even if the images aren't that big and you can download them in Zip files.
You're really ending up with a bit of a grab-bag of blowjobs and anal penetration, because the content is coming from a number of sources. There's gay reality porn with lots of pickup and fuck scenes and loads of shoots where boys just get down and dirty without any complicated premise involved. You'll even find some bareback action buried among the condom sex.
It doesn't appear that you get any bonus sites (when you sign up there's a link implying that you get some), but you can check out 10 gay video feeds that cover a variety of categories. However, more of an issue than the lack of additional sites is that Ex Gay BFs seems overpriced for what it offers.

Boot up using the Startup Repair CD or Windows 7 DVD. (not the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disk) If you have a Netbook, you will need a CD/DVD drive.
NOTE: Make sure no USB drives are plugged in.
Do not use a USB Pendrive for Startup Repair.

Do a Strartup Repair:

Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
& made the Startup Repair CD.

Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

My first Win 7 machine was a laptop.. so that means no disks. That pesky hidden partition on C drive!
When I got the machine home and booted her up for the first time Win 7 asked me to make repair disks etc. I DID THIS FIRST THING!
LOL The reason from most manufactures is to save the environment, yet mine machine is an Asus.. so that took 5 whole d.v.d s ... mostly bloatware.

Win7 x 6 PC's
Try tapping the F8 key at boot to access System Recovery Options to run Startup Repair repeatedly. If no Repair console on F8, you'll need the Windows 7 DVD or Repair CD.
If this fails use the Command Prompt to mark Windows 7 or it's 100mb System Reserved partition (preferred) Active: Partition - Mark as Active (Method Two) then run Repairs again up to 3 separate times.
If these fail you may be infected. Try booting into Safe Mode to run full scan with Malwarebyte.
If no Safe Mode download, burn to CD or write to flash stick Microsoft Standalone System Sweeper, boot to run a full scan.
Now run the Repairs again. If they fail, try SFC -SCANNOW Run in Command Prompt at Boot and System Restore from the Recovery Options list.
If all fails, you can copy out your files using Windows 7 DVD or Repair CD: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
Then run Factory Recovery from it's partition using the hotkey given at boot or in your Manual which is found on the internet. Use the Recovery Disks as a backup method. Or find a Windows 7 installation DVD for your version for Clean Reinstalling Windows 7

Bored chickens can be prone to pecking at each other and bullying. Boredom can set in with the lack of bugs and weeds to search for. During the winter, chickens benefit from added energy and warmth. This Flock Block Knock Off satisfies all these needs and should help keep peace in your run.
Here's what you need-
2 Cups scratch grains (a commercial or homemade mix of cracked corn, oats, barley & other mixed grains)

1/2 Cup sunflower seeds (I happened to have unshelled sunflower seed/safflower seed mix so I used that)
1/4 Cup wheat germ
1/4 Cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 eggs
1/2 Cup Blackstrap molasses
1/2 Cup coconut oil, liquified
Bake for 30 minutes, then cool completely. Run a knife around the inside rim of each pan and invert to remove the block. Serve to a flock of very happy girls.

|-Mix dry ingredients-
|-Add wet ingredients-
|-Pat into baking pans-

Top Chef Comes to New York City!
It doesn't seem that long ago that Stephanie Izard won Top Chef Chicago, but Bravo is already gearing up for Season 5 in our own food-loving city of New York.
The show starts November 12, but the cheftestant bios are up on Bravo's website. Our appetite is officially whetted...
The field is geographically diverse, with only one chef who lives and cooks in NYC. One guy is William Shatner's personal chef... interesting. And yet, we're still surprised that there are no chefs from Charleston or New Orleans, two cities that have some of the best restaurants in the country, in our opinion.
There's a new judge this season- Toby Young, author of How To Lose Friends and Alienate People. We're not very familiar with him or his food writing, but it'll be nice to see a new face at the judge's table.
Have any New Yorkers out there seen the cast running around the city? Give us the scoop!
Read all of the cheftestant bios here:

I'm curious about this since its in NYC, but like every other reality show, I fear its going to become a magnet for personal drama and not focus on the cooking. Or was that never the point in the first place? I haven't seen any of the other seasons.
It's definitely still a reality show so there are moments of drama, but it really does focus on the cooking. these are REAL chefs, not just people who want a tv show like on the Next Foodnetwork Star. Give it a try- i think you'll really like the show! I love it!

Having sex on a beach sounds like a great idea, but sometimes it doesn't work out so great. I mean, you can get sand in uncomfortable places and you have to risk having a crab latch onto your junk. Sex On The Beach XXX is similar in that it seems like it's going to be awesome, but ultimately disappoints.
As its name implies, SexOnTheBeachXXX is all about people having hardcore sex on beaches. Sometimes they do it in pairs and sometimes they do it in groups. Sometimes it's guys and girls going at it and other times it's babes getting down and dirty with other cuties. All of this is great, but where the site fails is in the amount of action it delivers.
There are only eight videos and 10 sets of pictures and to make matters worse, it looks as though there hasn't been an update since 2007. Given that, I don't think we should sit around and wait for fresh content to wash ashore.
The content showcase sizzling sex and hot performers. My absolute favorite scene has a stunning babe named Hope who's so hot you might want to make sure you've got a fan and a tall glass of water handy before you even attempt to watch her in action. She gets naked, gives a blowjob, has her pussy eaten, gets fucked and takes a facial before calling it a day.
The videos can be downloaded in at least a couple of Windows Media formats. At their best, they offer good-quality playback and are a real treat for the eyes. The pics aren't exactly eyesores either as they're crisp and high-res. You can go through them one at a time or view them in slideshows.
Four bonus sites are included: Beach House XXX, Lap Dance Gone Bad, Peter Girls and POV Porn. From personal experience, I can tell you that at least two of them are really good, so if you do decide to get a membership, be sure to give them a look.
Sex On The Beach XXX has great content, but it doesn't offer enough to merit a recommendation. Sadly, things are unlikely to improve due to the lack of updates.

I saw that a couple of days ago and thought it was fabulous. Must say im incredibly fed up with the will-they/wont-they love stories strung over the last couple of Doctors and am thrilled we wont get any more Clara and the Doctor nonsense (unless they enter the older man/young woman area which would creep a load of folks out). And that guff about everyone coming together to sing to save a planet and its people - made me want to quit watching it was cringingly awful. Lets get back to a dark, at times angry Doctor the kind we got with Christopher Eccleston and at times David Tennett, no more second chances for the Baddies.
Cant believe parents are complaining over Peter Capaldi getting the role as their kids might google his past work and come across The Thick of It. And I forgot about his role in Torchwood where he was excellent. Looking forward to the regeneration now.

A report can be read here on upcoming Dr Who events. No idea how they will write David and Billie back in, diehard fans are speculating with details I do not understand in the slightest. I'm happy to find out at the time than have it ruined.

Thanks for the link. I did a google search but found nothing. I'm not going to read anything more - just wait and see how it all happens on the night.

I have never been a Doctor Who fan and don't know a lot about it. Recently, my son Jessie's improv theatre did a "Tribute to Doctor Who". John Barrowman happened to be in Edmonton for a Comic Con and heard about the tribute, so quietly sat in the audience and watched their performance He really enjoyed it and came back stage afterward & met the cast (including Jess) & shook their hands. He didn't want any "attention", so they did not announce he was in the audience. Jess said he was a really nice guy.

I haven't seen many of the ''classic'' Dr Who episodes, so maybe this will be a way to start? I know there are plenty of adults who watch it, and no offence to them, but I feel a bit old to be watching this now. It feels a bit odd because the series that I watched was on tv when I was younger - and it feels like a whole lifetime ago.

Perhaps, as they're both on DVD soon, and 'The Web of Fear' in particular has always had a great reputation amongst the fandom. The other one that was found, The Enemy of the World, was sort of overlooked before the rediscovery, but is now garnering very positive reviews among the fandom since the discovery.
I started the classic series with 'Genesis of the Daleks', which is generally regarded as being up there with the greatest Doctor Who stories ever made. It's six parts long and features Tom Baker as the Doctor, as well as Sarah Jane and the first appearance of Davros. Once you get past the relatively slow pacing and seventies-telly production values, it's a fantastic story. For a Saturday tea-time series, it also deals with some fairly heavy issues, such as eugenics and chemical warfare. You can also get a box set called "The Beginning", which features the first three serials broadcast between 1963 and '64.

The BBC have released online a mini-episode prequel to The Day of the Doctor. For those trying to avoid spoilers, this is NOT a part of the 50th Anniversary episode, it shows events before it. It is The Night of the Doctor (and has a HUGE surprise!).
1 May 2011
Just watched it on the iplayer (where its also available). Great to see Paul McGann (not a spoiler as he is billed) back as having seen Doctor Who:The Movie three times now i really like his portrayal of The Doctor (it takes a while getting used to him).
Must say i'm really looking forward to next Saturday's special and there are some really good looking programmes on the bbc over the next week.

Norway takes pride in being a democracy, a kingdom ranking as one of the absolutely best countries to live in. Good stable finances, low unemployment rates and riches coming from oil and gas. Crime statistics portrays a peaceful, safe and secure country, and to be honest it is a pretty damn good place to be, most of the time. Free health care, free higher education, an incredibly generous welfare system and an overall very high standard of living, should make our long stretch of land a piece of paradise on earth.
However, all is not well, actually far from it. I am not going to drag you through a bullet list of "wrongs", "rights" and "room for improvement". This post is dedicated to a specific and shocking event taking place in my area. I can't help but wondering if the riches of our country and our standard of living have made us as a nation, go from fierce exploring conquerors to declawed kittens. This is the story of an X, a silly remark, a resolution made, and the silence that followed.
A local design bureau was commissioned to create a logo and a graphic profile for the opening of a new art hall. For close to a year, the logo and graphic profile have been available for review, and no one has reacted to any of the above mentioned. During a press conference a few weeks ago, one of the designers made half a joke, relating the logo, and the thought behind the graphic profile with the city's industrial history, and all hell broke loose
Within a matter of days the city council, in what appears to be a media infused frenzy, made a resolution. The resolution states that the logo will not be, under any circumstance allowed displayed on the walls of this art hall, or associated in any manner with any cultural event associated with the municipality. A harsh, bombastic and all in all, an uncalled for resolution, but the politicians do not stop at declaring their dislike for a black X on a yellow background.
Some days later, an indiscreet and badly hidden threat is communicated through the media as a politician points out that not complying with the ban of the logo, could very well lead to hard financial times for the disobedient logo rebels. Eligible for government funding or not, by not taking the resolution seriously, the art hall is promised trouble if they stick by the logo.
There are a few things here that bug me like crazy.
- The money used for supporting arts and culture is collected nationally and spread regionally and locally. Public funds meant to support and sustain a living, breathing and creative community for arts, should not be used as a disciplinarian tool to force artists and art lovers to obedience on a local, regional or national level.
- Dialogue is crucial in any democracy. By making a resolution closing the possibilities for any future dialogue on the topic, is not just a bad choice, it goes against the principles of democracy.
- By pointing out that art is dependent of political goodwill in order to obtain financial support, politicians invoke their self proclaimed right to decide what art is, and what it's not, as they set the parameters for funding to "art is whatever created by whoever who do as we say" Sadly it appears that the politicians have forgotten that as art depends on financial public support, they themselves depend on votes to stay in office.
Obviously it worked; the threats that is. The silence followed by the municipality's money stunt, speaks loudly. None of the established institutions, and very few established artists have raised their voice to add to this debate. I do not for a second believe it has to do with the fact that they do not appreciate the logo, the art hall or their freedom of speech or right to perform their craft.
Sadly it appears to be connected to the threat. Raise your voice, stand up for your rights, show solidarity and face the consequences financially. I am not an artist; I am a music producer working with commercial music productions. I do not have a lot to lose by raising my voice, protesting what I view as a violation of democratic principles and public power abuse. However a lot of artists do have a lot to lose as they are, as pointed out by the city council, depending on support from public funds in order to keep on performing their arts.
To me art has always been important, sometimes as inspiring, hope giving, creative candy, and other times as provocative, challenging cries for change. We live in a free country; we do have freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It appears that we do not however have freedom of art.
It is sad, that one man's semi humorous explanation of the origin of a black X on a yellow background can spark frenzy like this, no matter how bad or misplaced the joke might have been. It is sad that politicians elected by the people, see it fit to abuse their democratic powers in order to whip the art community into shape. All in all, the saddest part to me, is that we as a nation, as a democratic nation of free women and men, artists and art lovers, let us whip to silence.
My hope is that anyone who ever has appreciated a piece of art, been moved by a play, have rejoiced listening to music, has felt someone speaking to them trough literature or been dazzled by the beauty of a painting, raise their voice to protest this censorship, as it appears that those who gives us these experiences just can't raise their voices.

Dead Space 3 Let's Play - THE LEG BONE'S CONNECTED TO THE RAGE QUIT - Part 24 - Facecam (by KawaiiGamergrl)
I have a bunch of female friends who adore Harley Quinn so thank gawd they don't follow this tumblr because I'm about to state why I will never see why so many women love her!! So to any Harley lovers quit reading because I'm about to bash your favorite character.Harley Quinn; the ambitious career woman who gives up her independence and career to become an abused sidekick/girlfriend (mind you she was driven to insanity maybe….?) is a good way to start. Who the joker has beaten and bruised and she keeps saying "gimme some more Jack. I think I'll have another!" She never tries to leave the abusive relationship, she never stands up for herself (except in recent adaptations like Injustice). She just takes it and I argue that this could be read as glamorizing abusive relationships, rejecting feminist values by championing submissive even self-negating feminine behavior, so thanks for setting us back another hundred years Harley. Although many women (and men) may go though this (not to get into too much detail but I have experienced someone very close to me go though this for most of my young life…which could be argued why maybe that I feel so adamantly against this character) and she may be relatable; she should by no means be any self respecting person's idolized character. Lastly, in one of the animated series episodes Harley asks Ivy "I am not a doormat…am I?" Poison Ivy's reply is, "If you had a middle name it would be 'welcome'!".

KCHS Turf to Be Ready for Next Season
Ground has been broken, and work is under way at Kenai Central High School for the construction and installation of an artificial turf field. We spoke to Kenai City Manager Rick Koch about the time frame of this project
Koch: "We're on schedule for the turf installing contractor to show up around June 10th, then the track surfacing contractor to show up around the same time in July. Hopefully, if there are not any delays in the contract, the Kenai Central High School Kardnals will be playing their first football game on August 10th, on the new artificial turf field."
Parts of the funding for this project came from a grant from the U.S. Soccer Association: City of Kenai to Receive Grant for Turf Field

Chicago River, navigable stream that originally flowed into Lake Michigan after being formed by the north and south branches about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the lake, in Chicago, northeastern Illinois, U.S. The Chicago River system flows 156 miles (251 km) from Park City (north) to Lockport (south); some 45 bridges span the river. After a severe storm in 1885 caused the river to empty large amounts of sewage-polluted water into Lake Michigan, plans were begun to reverse its flow through the construction of a canal, which was completed in 1900. The river now flows inland—through the south branch and into the Illinois Waterway (Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers)—to connect with the Mississippi River. The reversal of the river's flow is considered one of the greatest feats of modern engineering. The south branch of the river was straightened between 1928 and 1930, which moved the river 0.25 mile (0.4 km) west. In 1992 a piling punctured the riverbed, flooding Chicago's underground tunnels and the basements of many office buildings. In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, the river is annually dyed green in downtown Chicago.

Lost in Shibuya is the result of a frantic couple of days in November, 2013, during which photographer Ray Mock criss-crossed the Tokyo neighborhoods of Shibuya and Harajuku in search of the marks left behind by locals and travelers in order to better understand the city through these traces. He entered the warren of side streets, stores, clubs and arcades stacked three or four stories high with a blank mind and little expectations, and after total submersion into the chaos of the city he left with new friends, lifelong impressions and hundreds of photos documenting graffiti and street life.
Lost in Shibuya is limited to 300 numbered copies, comes with a screenprinted and hand-painted cover and features 60 pages of the gnarliest illegal graffiti from Tokyo, including Wanto, Sect, Rust, MQ, Soduh, Tom, Shaka, CQ, Kuma, False, Lush, Zombra, Adek, Hype, Resq, Buket and many more.

No Statute of Limitations For Spoilers
*Exclaimer: Please don't read this if you haven't seen Inception, The Empire Strikes Back, Planet of the Apes, The Wizard of Oz, Saw, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, The Usual Suspects or The Sixth Sense
As a probable testament to my poor academic acumen, I cannot, in good memory, recall the particulars of the situation I'm about to describe for you. I don't remember the course, the tutorial leader, or the topic at hand, but I do remember it was an early morning class on a balmy winters day. In my usual bleary-eyed state of apathy, I resigned myself to a self-assigned seat at the back, content to make up the numbers and to pick up my arbitrarily appointed participation marks.
As the class commenced its usual schedule of speculative faff and conjecture, I commenced my own schedule of affairs: looking at people when they're not looking back and looking away when they sometimes do. To be sure, dear reader, this practice would seem well odd to you, but keeping my eyes open and pretending to pay attention was tantamount to participation (see previous paragraph). Besides, I'm willing to wager a hefty sum in favour of the idea that other people do it as well, and, in my own impudent kind of way, I had gotten quite good at it.
Scanning the room to find a noteworthy point of interest, to which I mean somebody attractive, I noticed a girl sitting across the room from me. The expression on her face is one I'll never forget.
As a stark contrast to my own, her disposition could be best described as a perpetual mood of agitation. Sitting bolt upright with fingers digging into her knees, her demeanor suggested one of great offense, and yet, by her expression, her posture also suggested a sense of rigid self-defense.
Mouth slightly ajar and looking around with what can only be compared to as a disconcerting Kubrick stare, I was snapped out of my own nebulous trance by the sheer curiosity of her appearance. Imagine a Buckingham Palace guard, with the face of Edvard Munch's The Scream, watching a game of tennis and this is what the girl looked like.
In order to satiate my sudden interest in her discomfort, I also looked around the room, looking for the source of her searing glare. After a quick appraisal of the class, I narrowed it down to two people; a young lad, with an ironic moustache and a Toronto Maple Leafs toque, and another young lad, whose face I couldn't see because he was sitting right in front of me.

Whose intervention ensured Star Trek saw the light of day?
Answer: Lucille Ball
Most people recognize and remember Lucille Ball as the lovable and silly star of one of America's earliest and most loved sitcoms, I Love Lucy. What most people don't know is that Lucille was a savvy business woman and that she and her husband Desi Arnaz had amassed a small fortune and owned their own studio, Desilu.
It was at Desilu that acclaimed Sci-Fi screenwriter and visionary Gene Roddenberry got his big break. Roddenberry pitched the Star Trek pilot to the studio as a sort of Western-inspired space adventure. While many within the studio balked at the idea, Lucille liked the idea and the first pilot was approved and filmed. The pilot was pitched to NBC and was promptly rejected on the grounds that it was too intellectual, not enough like the space-western they had been lead to believe it would be, and audiences wouldn't relate to it. Lucille, a fan of Roddenberry's work, pushed back against NBC and insisted they order a second pilot. Ordering a second pilot was a practice almost entirely unheard of and save for Lucille's charisma and clout with the network it would never have happened.
Roddenberry shot the second pilot, NBC accepted it, and Star Trek premiered in 1966, thus beginning a new era in the Sci-Fi genre and laying the foundation for half a century of Star Trek fandom–an era that would have never come to pass without the intervention and insistence of Lucille Ball.
Bonus Trivia: After her divorce from Arnaz, Lucille bought out his share of their studio. As a result she became the first woman to both head and own a major studio. (*)
Now I love Lucy.
So few people know about this! Too few. Glad to see this turning up here. Also: it was through Lucille Ball's influence that the concept of the rerun (previously unknown and thought to be worthless by studios to whom it was pitched) finally took hold. Desilu essentially pioneered the concept of syndication, and of the "syndication package" — the minimum number of episodes (initially 65, now sometimes more) necessary for a series to become commercially viable, via onward sales, for longer than its initial live run.
We have a lot to thank Lucy for besides that beautiful rubbery face. :)
This is just another way that we can remember that as women We. Created. Scifi.
Never let anyone tell you that women are a recent addition to fandom. From Mary Shelley on, horror, sci fi and fantasy have been a women's realm since the beginning.
Always reblog.
fuck. I never knew this. A NEW FOREVER REBLOG.
There is much, much more to know about Lucille Ball and her contributions to pop culture, but even more to know about her and her contributions to feminism.
Without Lucille Ball, there would never have been a Mary Tyler Moore.
The Untouchables, Mission: Impossible, Mannix, the Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, My Three Sons, I SPy and That Girl were all part of what she, specifically, realized were going to be popular, often despite everyone else saying she was wrong.
Desilu bought RKO, though later sold many of the rights to films from that incredible collection.
As a company,they developed the standard multiple camera format that is used on all sitcoms today.
Today, what was once Desilu, is known as CBS Televisions Studios.
She was an older woman who married a younger man — a Cuban, which in those days was an interracial marriage — through elopement. It was, for the times, scandalous.
So scandalous, that the radio show that ultimately became I Love Lucy was sidelined because Executives didn't think the public would go for it.
A Cuban headlining a major hit was and is a major win, that is often overlooked these days because of the stereotypes that came from such a popular show.
Together, her and Desi were incredibly shrewd. When the sponsor, Phillip Morris, wouldn't pay for the expense of filming the show, they said they would take a cut in pay in exchange for the rights to the film, and ended up owning I Love Lucy. It would be two decades and change before CBS got it back, and then under some terms that were favorable to Lucille and Desi's children, ultimately. Both of whom were born when she was in her 40's.
She registered as communist in the 1930's, and as a result, was brought up before the damnable McCarthy HCUAA. She supported Roosevelt for President, and then later voted for Eisenhower — showing that she was more interested in doing what's right, over doing it for personal gain.
She was one of the greatest women of the last century, a "B movie queen" who changed the world in ways that are, as is often typical, consistently overlooked.
She was the prototype that pushed women to question the status quo, the icon that many struggled with and against, an example that reverberated with people old and young when marching and shouting and arguing about a woman's right to be her own person and have control over her own life.
She not only inspired it, she lived it.

Slave gravesite in New York City
The heart of NYC's Financial District is built on a huge 18th century African Burial Ground. Some 419 Africans were discovered in 1991, a large portion women and children.
The burial ground extends from Broadway Southward under City Hall, and almost to the site of the former World Trade Center. It is believed that there are as many as 20,000 slavery-era Africans in graves under the buildings in Lower Manhattan.
Abolish historical amnesia and ponder for a moment the fact that this financial epicenter of the world is built on slavery, oppression, and death."
Literally, and daily.

Long before the invention of agriculture or the domestication of animals, the Japanese already lived on villages and cooked their meals on pots. Ten thousand years before the Christian Era, possibly even earlier, the inhabitants of the eastern islands had already developed the art of ceramics, which would arise on the "Cradle of Civilization", western Asia, three thousand years later. Reason for the Japanese to yell "Banzai!", which actually means "ten thousand years". Such ancient ceramics mark the so-called Jomon Jidai, a term from Japanese archeology: Jomon, meaning "rope pattern", and Jidai meaning period or era. The word Jidai would become famousworldwide on a variation created by filmmaker George Lucas.
With his space knights with strict honor codes, Lucas was inspired by the "jidai geki", Japanese period dramas with samurais. That's where the Jedi knights come from. Our interest here is something that likewise links Japanese prehistory with the modern space fantasy. Beside pots, the Jomon Jidai ceramic artifacts include some figures, called Dogu. With an intriguing appearance, highly stylized, some of them were recently understood as "six thousand years-old space suits", proof of ancient contacts with extraterrestrials. The idea of ancient astronauts antedates its most famous promoter, Erich von Däniken, in decades. And we can locate the association between the Japanese Dogu figures and"space suits" as early as an article by Russian scientist Viatcheslaw Zaitsev published on the soviet magazine Spoutnik in June 1967. This article was also the origin of the Fergana astronaut hoax — which was not Zaitsev's fault — and also played a big role in the popularization of the legend of the Dropas. Curiously, though, real space suits were never exactly like Dogu figures.Granted, there's a general resemblance, but made from flexible parts, like a clothe with many layers, real astronaut suits are not like the seemingly rigid round shapes that can be seen in the clay figures. The space suits we know have something very familiar: creases. More curious still is the fact that future space suits may become very similar to the thousands-years oldclay. …

Whoa. All hail the Japanese?
Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in his cell.
On his body they found seven regular straight pins whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or 1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and 254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true masterpiece.
Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 separate carving strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his artwork.

Sam Cane knows that Richie McCaw's six-month sabbatical provides an opening for him next year, but it is something he is not thinking about at present.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is expecting Dan Carter to return from injury when the side takes on Argentina in La Plata this Saturday.
Waratahs prop Paddy Ryan and Force wing/centre Nick Cummins are the only uncapped players named in the Wallabies 28-man squad for the away Rugby Championship tests against South Africa and Argentina.

Pressure is on Benji, but shouldn't we remember SBW went to France (Toulon) for 2 years to learn the game.
With all of the news around concussion do you think there should be safety measures in place for players to ensure they don't play on after a head know? How and who should police that?
With the start of club rugby upon us, how can we maintain the value of the clubs in player pathways and community spirit.

So, is this barbie? When I was kid, I used to use barbie as the reflection of my self in ten years later. I imagined my self in good dresses, talk politely, act gently, smart, have a really nice career and confident. So, what do the kids think of this little creepy bones?
Perhaps, it is not aimed to sell to kids but unluckily, I found it in a kid's toys store. Well, I might have never been as awesome as the kids these days. PROBABLY.

After visiting a new dentist for a cleaning, where the hygienist tried to sell me on $560 Zoom whitening (including trays for maintenance), I turned to MUA. I found the reviews for this product, and watched Kandee Johnson's video. So, I went out and bought the kit for $11. I tried to find a mouthguard to do the custom whitening trays that Kandee suggests, but could not find one. So I just used the included trays. Per Kandee's instructions, I used my finger to apply. Then I put in the included mouthguard. Those trays are a little awkward, since the top and bottom are connected (so your mouth is essentially locked shut during the treatment). I use it in the shower, as Kandee suggested. I have been using 1x a day (though the instructions say twice a day) for about 10 days, and my teeth are definitely whiter. Not professionally whitened white (yet), but very noticeably whiter. The crest whitestrips never did much for me, and left my teeth and gums very sensitive. This is much more effective, and my teeth and gums are only the tiniest bit sensitive from the treatments. MUA and Kandee saved me $549 with this product! :)

This stuff is awesome! Like a lot of people here, I saw this recommended by Kandee Johnson, and bought the mouth guards and boiled them to fit my teeth and all that.
The first time I applied it, I used my finger like she suggested, but I didn't feel like I was very precise, so then I used a Q-tip and it was even worse. Seemed to make my teeth whiter but not great.
But then I thought to use an old ANGLED EYELINER BRUSH. Perfection! I get a thin coating on the whole thing, then press it between each of my teeth, then I get some more and kind of "stipple" it onto each of my front teeth. It allows for incredible precision, and it only took a pea-sized amount to do my whole mouth. This tube is going to last me forever!
And oh yeah, it works!
7 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
nothing but raves for this product.
background: i dont smoke or drink coffee or tea, but i admit that i'd been bad about not brushing twice a day every day, and my teeth were starting to look yellow, especially on the edges, in between teeth.
i got this at walmart for around 5 bucks, so the price is awesome.
it comes in a tube and the product is dispensed easily but doesnt go all over the place.
AND IT WORKS! yay!
the directions say you can apply it several ways, with a qtip, brush it on, or use trays.
i apply it with a qtip, BUT i always make sure i dry my teeth off beforehand. i really think this helps it stick to the teeth and work better.
so, i dry my teeth, dab on a generous amount with a qtip, and then leave it for 25 minutes. directions say it isnt active for more than 20 minutes, but you know, just in case ;) and it starts working AFTER 5 minutes, not that its DONE at 5 minutes! so i dunno why other reviewers took it off so soon!
after 25 minutes, i spit it out and use my toothbrush to brush it off. then i rinse and spit a couple times.
of note:
-- dont talk why you have it on! if i keep my mouth shut it stays in place perfectly, but if i talk it starts to make me drool a little.
-- its supposed to be used twice a day every day for at least a couple weeks, but i forget, and only use it once a day for 3 days at a time or so, and then skip a day or 2. but i've still gotten obvious results after about a week.
-- oh, and it actually tastes pretty good! not an overpowering mint, and you dont taste any chemicals underneath the mint flavor
-- and lastly, i had NO tooth sensitivity, which i got a lot of when using the strips from various brands.
in short, i prefer this over the strips. they stay on place abd IMO, work better, and is waaayyyy cheaper! will definately rebuy!
juswt figured i'd warn people that this DOES expire! i ended up with over 1/2 a tube of expired product-- all runny and nasty :(
i'll re-buy this, but i'll make sure i use it all up next time!
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I too bought this on a Kandee Johnson recommendation. I bought 2 sport mouth guards from Wal Mart and made my molded trays.
I've only been using it for a week and I'm loving the results! I do it twice a day, sometimes once if I have a busy day. I leave them on for longer than 5 mins....anywhere from 15 to 30. I can't wait to see how white my teeth are after the full 2 weeks!
I couldnt imagine using this without the mouth guards...its seems the gel would just slip off and transfer to the lips/gums! The trays keep it right in place. I'll never buy Crest Strips again...I hate how achy they made my teeth feel and how they only covered the front part of your teeth!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can't wait to see where I am, after the two weeks. I can tolerate this a lot better, than crest's strips. The taste is gross, when you get it on your tongue and if you bite down too much, the gel might come apart from the mouth guard. I was hoping the gel would be packed in the tube, like toothpaste, but it's not. So, I don't think you get as much as you can. But regardless, it's 10 dollars. Now those annoyances aside, it's a great product. My teeth are already two shades lighter. As for sensitivity, I haven't experienced any:)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm a really big advocate of just whitening my teeth with straight hydrogen peroxide as a out rinse which works awesome as daily whitening and is infinitely better than paying hundreds of dollars for white strips and trays ect. But this is very very cheap and works faster than peroxide rinse but also makes my teeth sensitive . definitely noticeably whiter 5 min after using this. I probably do this once every couple weeks and rinse with peroxide everyday and my teeth are very white. Don't know why anyone would buy a more expensive whitening system when this is just as strong and like 5$ a tube.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this stuff for years and people always ask me if my teeth are real or veniers. I like this more than the crest whitestrips because it delivers the same results for only a fraction of the price. It also doesn't make your teeth super sensitive and achy.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Like a lot of people, I saw this on Kandee Johnson's video. I went through the entire first bottle with the mouthguard technique and it did NOTHING!
My sister purchased it about a month later and I noticed that it had a minty smell when the bottle I bought didn't. After a week of her using it her teeth were whiter than mine and she had her braces on for five years!
So I went and bought another tube for myself and made sure that it smelled minty... for some reason that made sense in my mind. Maybe my first one was defected? Well, I currently have the mouthguard in my mouth and I've been using it for about four days and my teeth are already so white! My boyfriend even noticed and he doesn't usually notice anything like that. (Oh, and it's not a weird unnatural white!)
This product didn't make my teeth sensitive, but it does hurt your gums if you let it sit on them for too long! It says on the tube to take off the product immediately if it gets on your gums, but I haven't had any major problems with it besides a little TINY bit of pain if it makes its way onto my gums!
UPDATE!: I continued to use this and now I actually don't like it one bit and I wouldn't buy it again. It just didn't work anymore. I'd rather just shell out the extra money and get Advanced Seal Crest Whitestrips.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I saw this product on KandeeJohnson's youtube and was super excited to try it out. The price was very reasonable, and there was alot of raves about the it. Well, I was very disappointed upon trying it. My teeth are pretty white as is, so I was expecting to see some pretty quick results. Boy, was I disappointed. I used it twice a day, 25 minutes mins each time for two weeks and hardly saw any results. Now I don't smoke and I don't drink tea. Plus, the gel kept moving around in my mouth!
I was really skeptical in the beginning about this product 'cause I've used some other whiteners before and I didn't notice any change, but now nearly 2 weeks later I'm able to say I really feel this is an amazing stuff. It really works and I think specially with yellowish spots next to gums. I've been using this with trays twice a day and I'm starting using it every second day for the next two weeks. I think that would be enough to keep my teeth in this natural white. Note: do not expect your teeth to get as white as if you have a proffesional whitening, you won't get that fake white that everybody knows it's not natural.

Let's face it: Your French art references are hopelessly outdated you're still name-checking Matisse, Gauguin and Seurat. (These people are dead.) Fortunately, Webster University's Cecille R. Hunt Gallery (8342 Big Bend Boulevard) helps you learn a little about what is happening artistically in France now with its Paper Working exhibit, which showcases the works of four artists who live and create in Paris. Even though they are well-traveled and have resided in different countries, Gaelle Pelachaud, Anne Vorms, Alfredo Garzon and Shirley Sharoff manage to create paper-based art that is distinctly French, globalization be damned. See these artists' books, collages and more when you stop by Cecille R. Hunt; the gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1 to 4 p.m. weekends. For more information call 314-968-7171. Paper Working remains on display through Friday, March 23.
March 8-23
