EPL Rumors: Bacary Sagna Joining Manchester City Makes Sense For All But Arsenal
As if enough Arsenal players haven't already made the switch to Manchester City in recent years, it now seems City are interested in another Arsenal player. Right-back Bacary Sagna will be a free agent in the summer and current rumors suggest that City are keen on the Frenchman as backup to Pablo Zabaleta, which would allow more rest for the Argentine than he has received this season.
Would it be a good move for City? Would it be a good move for Sagna? Well, firstly, it would be a bad move for Arsenal. Arsenal are obviously doing their utmost to make Sagna stay, but to adhere to their current pay structure, they have a limit to what they can offer players over 30 years of age.
Sagna, it would seem, would prefer to stay in the Premier League rather than move abroad, and you would presume a move to City would be appealing to him. Better wages than what Arsenal will offer would be on the table, as well as a better chance of winning trophies. Also, it'd be a chance to join his former teammates Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy.
At 31, it may also be a time when Sagna is more amenable to rotating with another player, rather than insisting on playing every single week. Although only he will know that, of course, you can see why the move could be appealing.
For City, it would make perfect sense. Zabaleta is one of the best right-backs in the world right now. This season, Micah Richards has been injured far too often, which has meant that Zabaleta has played far more than City would have liked. Signing Sagna would allow City to rotate that position far more freely. Plus, City would make a profit from the whole deal as Sagna would join on a free transfer and Richards, presumably, would leave for a fee.
The only loser in this possible deal would be Arsenal. It's baffling how the club still allows their players to run their contracts down to the final year so often. Robin Van Persie, Samir Nasri and Theo Walcott all have been allowed to run their contracts down to the final year in recent seasons — it's just far too risky.
At that point, they're putting the power into the players hands, which is why Van Persie and Nasri are not at the club anymore. They had the power to choose, and ultimately their choice was to leave the club. With two years remaining, Arsenal should be making a decision on a player — either offer a new contract or try to sell early to recoup the highest fee. It's not that complicated.
But that's not what Arsenal do, and because of that, it looks like another first-team player could well decide to walk away this summer. City will be happy enough if it happens, and once again, Arsenal will have done a fine job at strengthening a rival. They're getting good at that.

... I wouldn't say the palace was great, it was a bit disappointing, there had been too much 'restoration', one was never sure what was original and what wasn't. It wasn't as well done as the Roman stuff. On the whole, I would still suggest going there, but probably after going to the archeology museum.
We took the bus back into town and had some tasty grilled meat for lunch. The table next to us had three boys, the youngest of which was just a cute bundle ...
Oi! we went to Oia......
we tendered in to Athinios and went on a tour of the island of Santorini. we starte the tour by going to Profidis Ilias (sic) then toured on the flat side of the island to the very pretty town of Oia.
Later, at the end of the tour we were dropped back in Fira, where we walked down the donkey track to get the tender back to the ship.
Quite a warm day today so the walk down certainly sapped our energy!
Santoini is just beautiful......
First evidence of donkeys

I think the boys were expecting a rustic fishing boat but this thing has elevators, cabins, bars, restaurants etc. It was an eigt hour crossing to Santorini and we managed to amuse ourseves reading and playing cards.

We then got back to shore for a free transfer back to our house which was a great relief because we really didn't want to walk up all those steps, especially at night with all the donkey poo.

Painting: Image + Narrative
Course No. PTG 430 Credits: 3.0
This course examines the nature of Painting as it relates to other visual arts media. The source of the "image" and the narrative it suggests will be closely examined. Students will be asked to examine the way an artist goes about making work influences our understanding or read of that work. Alternative painting practices will be examined as well as the approaches of many non-painters. Such artists include: Sol Lewitt, Marcel Duchamp, Survival Research Laboratories, Vito Acconci, Fischli & Weiss, Chuck Close, Alfred Jensen, Jackson Pollock, and Mel Bochner just to name a few. Reading relevant texts, looking at work, research/special projects, studio work, group and individual critiques are an integral part of this course. Open to all students above the freshman level.

Most painters don't have a body count on their website. Danny Setiawan is the exception—he's artfully slathering 292 people with paint in 2012. He's been painting traditionally since he was a child in Indonesia, but after graduating from Parsons The New School For Design in New York, he shifted his brush from synthetic to living canvases, layering participants' skin with lush koi fish, patterns, and re-creations of famous masterpieces. As he told The Today Show, Setiawan became a body painter to imbue his artwork with more relevancy. "You cannot ignore a piece of art if it's painted on a human body," he said, echoing the sentiments Da Vinci expressed when Da Vinci added a miniature Mona Lisa to the forehead of the Mona Lisa.
Since he began filling his portfolio with body paintings, Setiawan's work has been far from ignored. In addition to visiting with Kathie Lee and Hoda, DenArt Studio has been recognized by Last Call with Carson Daly, as well as American Airlines, American Express, and Stoli. Many of his clients are not only attracted to the studio's colorful portfolio but also by its unique services. Guests can commission an artist to paint them clothed or unclothed as individuals or couples, expectant moms can opt for a maternity body-art session, and Halloween celebrants can enlist the studio's help bringing their costumes to life with body paint. At the onsite photo studio a photographer captures the resulting images in dramatic detail. Attendants can also paint each other at a casual Art on Live Canvas workshop, and ambitious artists looking to become the next Danny Setiawan can enroll in a body-painting or makeup course.
Paper Doll Beauty Bar extends Paper Doll Boutique's beautifying province from vintage dresses to birthday suits with a host of spa services. Licensed aestheticians customize facials for women and men. During massages, therapists combine soothing effleurage strokes, aromatic essential oils, and heated basalt stones to help to detoxify muscles and stimulate circulation, leaving backs more relaxed and healthy. Other services include manicures, waxes, and mink eyelash extensions long enough to tickle your date's neck from across the table.
In a spa haven decked with olive and chocolate hues, NYC Galaxy Beauty Center's team of professionals revamps visages with a potpourri of European and American techniques. Armed with professional-grade products, the stylists enhance hair with deep-conditioning keratin treatments and artfully applied hair extensions. Meanwhile, aesthetic experts restore youth and clarity to visages through more than 10 cleansing facials as manicurists crown nails in durable polish and tiny top hats.
Pure cotton thread and herbal facials are two of the techniques the aestheticians at Threading on 5th Ave. use to beautify their clients. They sweep away facial imperfections with these natural means in order to spare skin the irritation of chemical-laden methods and markered-on mustaches. Concerned with more than just the face, the team also clears away body hair and cleans up bikini zones during waxes.
At City Eyebrow Threading Salon, overstuffed pink chairs face full-length mirrors hung on deep-violet walls. In a way, the bold decor reflects the stylists' no-nonsense approach to beauty: During one of their most popular treatments, eyebrow threading, a technician uses a fibrous thread to pluck unruly brow hairs one by one. The result is a clean and defined arch that helps accentuate your eyes or distract attention from the swimming goggles you forgot you were wearing. You can also amp up your eyelashes with Blink lash extensions, which add natural-looking length and volume.
Colorful cosmetics and jewelry pepper the shelves and tables atop a shining hardwood floor at Damselfly Skincare, welcoming beauty-seekers into the spa's relaxing confines. Inside, guests can treat themselves to organic facials, letting natural ingredients restore their skin to youthful radiance. Lash extensions lend eyes a full, smoky look without the hassle of mascara running when you cry or leak fuel from the eyes. Beyond cosmetic treatments, the staff promotes relaxation by rendering massage that saps away muscle-bound stress in Swedish and deep-tissue modalities.

"My wife and I have just returned from our Keys get a way at this truly beautiful home and have already booked for next year. The pictures on this site are exactly what you can expect to see on your arrival. The home is very well maintained right down to the landscaped yard. On your arrival you will find the home to be spotless in every detail and well equipped with everything any person would need to call it home. Just bring your clothes and personal items. Outside, where we spent most of our time, you will find a view that can not be matched. The fish (bring your pole) manatees and birds are a constant source of entertainment and you may find yourself planning your day around the sunset from your Tiki Hut. The water at your front door is crystal clear and a kayak for your morning tour is provided also. The owners, Ana and Rafael, who reside next door can only be described as great neighbors who strive to make sure everything about your stay is the best possible. There were no disappointments with this home during our entire stay. Lastly, the location in Tavernier is about half way between Key Largo and Islamorada. No matter which way you go there are many good restaurants and bars to enjoy and all within a short drive."Guest: Paul & Carol Date of Stay: February 2014 Review Submitted: March 13, 2014View listing

House is in a great location...in between Tavernier Creek and Snake creek, you can get anywhere on the water in no time. Would highly recommend this property. Hope to be back next year."Guest: W.

Report: Natural gas price hikes pushed electric rates higher in 2013
Rising prices for natural gas delivered to New England pushed wholesale electricity prices in the region up by 55 percent over 2012, according to preliminary figures from ISO New England, the operator of the region's wholesale electricity markets.
The 2013 annual average was the fifth-highest since 2003, when competitive markets in their current form were introduced in New England. The all-time high was $80 per mWh during 2008, just before hydrofracturing (or "fracking") for shale gas in Pennsylvania and New York triggered the natural gas revolution.
Natural gas is the predominant fuel used to generate the region's electricity — about 46 percent of total generation in 2013 — so wholesale power prices tend to track the price of natural gas, according to ISO spokeswoman Marcia Blomberg.
The crunch hit home in 2013, when the capacity of pipelines serving New England crashed under the increasing demand for natural gas to heat homes and businesses and to generate electricity.
"I am encouraged that there is interest from the private sector in increasing gas line capacity, and that's certainly a factor we should consider," she said. "It's also really important that we do everything we can to make our energy prices more competitive with the rest of the country. That's what I am hearing from businesses throughout the region."

Kim Dotcom 'a very funny dude'
How MegaChristmas writers got their starBRIDGET JONES
Relevant offers
He said he was never going to be a part of it, but the creators of MegaChristmas think Kim Dotcom is a natural comedian.
After organisers spent months chasing him, the internet tycoon agreed to star as Santa in the Basement Theatre's pantomime-style play, with a few conditions.
"When we met up with him he said 'oh I love it, it's so great. Except my part's not very funny guys, we need to re-write it'. And he had a whole bunch of suggestions that were just really funny - he's a very funny dude," said co-writer and star Nic Sampson.
Along with his writing partner Barnaby Fredrick and the team at the Basement Theatre, Sampson hounded Dotcom with Twitter messages, letters and emails trying to convince him to take up the role written especially for him.
They even waited in line as Dotcom turned on the Franklin Rd Christmas lights just to get some face time.
"It was stalking basically. We sent him a lot of emails, but he is a busy man and probably gets requests like this all the time... to play Santa."
It worked, as the Megaupload founder changed his mind after reading the script.
"The turning point came when he read the work Nic and Barnaby had done and thought it was hilarious. So yes, persistence played a huge part in it, but it's a credit to the material they have written," said Kimberley Crossman, who plays Santa's nutritionist in the play.
MegaChristmas is the fourth annual fundraising production for the inner-city theatre.
The story follows Sampson's Rudolf and Crossman travelling the globe trying to find a lost Santa. Along the way they run into some familiar faces from 2012, including African leader Joseph Kony, the Mars Rover, and an odd character named Bi-Polar Bear.
And apart from Crossman and Sampson, the cast changes every night. Audiences could see anyone from Shane Cortese, Jacinda Ardern, Michael Hurst or Beth Allen on stage - they won't know until the show starts.
Sampson said it could be a recipe for disaster, but it would always be entertaining.
"The actors only get two rehearsals and that's the exciting thing about it. They come in, and hopefully know there lines but they might forget them, or they might go rogue, which a lot of them tend to do, which is hilarious to watch.
"It's great when it succeeds and it's almost better when it fails, because it's fun to see people get themselves into a massive hole and try and get their way out of it. And we are there during the play to pull it back, if someone is setting fire to something, or someone takes their pants off."
For Crossman though, there were a few nerves.
"This is my first play since school, so I'm definitely a bit anxious about a few things - like projection of voice, and being able to do it every night as well.
"But I'm in very safe hands... I think one of the biggest challenges for me will be not cracking up every night at the improvisation that happens."

Prior to staying at Irwin's in Banff my wife and I stayed in Calgary at the Hyatt downtown. Though the two hotels are in totally different classes I found Irwin's just as good and even better in some ways. We had a room with a large jacuzzi tub and my first thought was we paid less in Banff for a far nicer room.
There was also something else that really impressed me. There was a fairly loud guest down the hall and I was about to call security as it was quite late. Before I could do so security came up and dealt with the noisy guests in a very respectful but firm manner to the relief of myself and my wife. You really find out the quality of a hotel when the staff have to respond to a bad situation.
I can't think of anything I would recommend; Irwin's is first rate!

The New Boston Marathon Gear Is Getting Mixed Reactions
From 'disgusting' to 'awesome,' people have varying opinions about the new gear.
ŌĆ£Disappointed,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£disgusted,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£borderline nauseatingŌĆØ were just some of the comments people made when Adidas unveiled their new line of Boston Marathon gear on Tuesday.
The vitriol on the Adidas website, which showed off an apparel collection ranging from stretchy running pants to the iconic ŌĆ£celebration jackets,ŌĆØ started pouring in almost immediately, mostly with complaints about the colorŌĆöa bright orange dubbed "Solar Zest" matched with teal lines along the sleevesŌĆöas well as the overall design.
Still raw from the mayhem unleashed at last yearŌĆÖs race, where three people were killed and more than 260 others were injured, it seems both runners and people planning on sitting along the race routeŌĆÖs sidelines were hoping the jackets would either incorporate colors from last year or have some other sort of celebratory color combination.
ŌĆ£In a year in which the Boston Marathon will be more meaningful to a ton of people than ever before, this is awful. Honoring the B.A.A. with a traditional blue and yellow, or even going with red, white, and blue would have been fitting. Instead, we get what looks like Miami Marlins outerwear. Terrible,ŌĆØ said John B., who identified himself as a runner from Boston, on the Adidas website.
JohnŌĆÖs dislike for the combination of oranges with the dark and light blues was fairly tame compared with other observations made after the outerwear was revealed.
While the hues are different from what people may have expected, Adidas was sure to pay homage to the people who participated in the race, or were hurt in the blast in 2013.┬ĀThe collar of the jacket reads, ŌĆ£Boston Runs as One,ŌĆØ according to the Adidas website. The colors of the gear change from year to year, and while a Boston Athletic Association spokesman did not immediately return calls to explain how the schemes are selected in coordination with the athletic company, people should have expected to see a variation of styles for this yearŌĆÖs race.
Here are some of the other comments from people who aren't loving the new gear:
ŌĆ£So very disappointed in this year's jacket. What was the thought process here? This is a [color] that a slight fraction of any population would truly enjoy. With these [colors], the blue trim would have been much, much better as base. A patriotic theme would have made the most sense, but that is clearly not happening. Oh well, Adidas and BAA will be disappointed by sales. Ultimately, though, the runners are the losers as this race will not be commemorated about town with the normal jacket enthusiasm.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Was really hoping for a Red, White, and Blue themed jacket.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£That orange looks like Cheetos dust.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Between the bright safety orange and the weird striping across the shoulder and back, the jacket seems out of place in "celebrating" such a classy and prestigious event such as the Boston Marathon.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Wow. So disappointed in the line for this year. Considering all of the hype and attention and emotion that will surround 2014's race, this is a major letdown.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£I am very disappointed in this color choice! I have heard from several runners who agree and I don't expect they will have great sales on this. This was not every well thought out.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£What a disappointment! Ugly. Unfortunately, Adidas will sell a ton of them because of the prestige of the event and "showing your colors" by wearing the jacket. A special edition would have been nice. Nothing special about this jacket.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We will run with remembrance, celebration, triumph and defiance. Too bad this year's jacket will not reflect that.ŌĆØ
But not everyone was harping on the orange jackets and striped pants. Some people really enjoy the new look, and had a lot of positive things to say about the design for the 2014 race:
ŌĆ£Nice productŌĆöwill be tuff to top it. Can't wait to wear it on my trip to Boston in April.ŌĆØ┬Ā
"Sharp and true to size.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£It's less about the color and more about the experience.ŌĆØ
Now that's more insightful.
So, what do you think? Weigh in and tell us whether Adidas and the B.A.A. did a good job ŌĆöor if they totally┬Āmissed the mark?

I cannot believe how much I love this blush. I avoided it like the plague for a couple of years because of the glitter, but I decided to try it out a little while ago at my local Sephora and fell in love. I am 41-years-old, so I prudently avoid anything garish. Nonetheless, I decided to try this blush and loved it so much I had to go back the next morning to purchase it.
This is everything I hoped that the original Orgasm blush would be. The color is a gorgeous, golden apricot pink. It is "rosy" whereas the original Orgasm is "orange-y." The glitter does not show up on my cheeks at all. I only have to apply the tiniest amount to achieve a lovely glowing look on my cheeks. I've never been able to replicate this before.
If you have tried Orgasm but it wasn't quite right, don't hesitate to check this out, no matter what your age. It is just right for those of use who lean toward the cool side of neutral (rather than the warm side which is more suitable for Orgasm -- also a gorgeous, irreplaceable shade), and is absolutely perfect for the warmer months ahead.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Yes, I was skeptical and this was given to me. My previous experience with Orgasm (the Muliple AND lip gloss) wasn't all that fantastic, but this is amazing. The golden glitter is subtle, it's so pigmented, it really imitates my flush perfectly. It's awesome on medium skin, I really really liked it.
flatters my NC20 skin
Lasts all day
Nice color
A little to sparkly
This is such a beautiful color, I own the original "O" which is lovely. Unfortunately the crazy chunky glitter is just not my cup of tea, this would look much better without the overload of glitter, I must say that this beautiful shade is just a tad nicer than the original "O", Im so disappointed because it really is a stunning blush. Im still giving it 3 lippies, but I will be returning it.
The color of this blush is universally appealing to many skin tones. It gives you that hint of color gives skin a healthy glow that men go absolutely gaga for. If you want less shimmer I would recommend the regular Orgasm from NARS because this one has a great deal of shimmer. If you need an everyday blush that can come in handy no matter what occasion, this is it!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite summer blush so gorgeous. I have fair skin and this definitely warms me right up, though I tend to favor rosier blushes in the winter. It does have quite a bit of glitter but I find most of it falls off the brush and my face during the day...so I don't look like a disco ball.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I purchased this in the 2009 Sephora kit with the Orgasm Nail Polish, I love the color (peachy pink with gold glitter) it just disappears on me. Swapped it away
For reference I'm a NW/NC 25 or Light-Medium with Neutral/Beige Undertone
The glitter is too chunky and falls all over my face when I apply it. The color is too strong compared to when I was looking for a pinky-peach color and since I have fair-medium skin color (now fair) it is to harsh of a color on my face and looks to "fake" . I wanted a natural peach "glow" but I got NONE of my expectations from it. I DONT recommending buying it.
The color is lovely, very pigmented and a lovely deep pinky coral with flecks of gold. The shimmer looks a bit much in the pan but doesn't come out that way when applied. Also really like Nars packaging, very elegant.
I think this is a slightly pinker version of Orgasm and it's a really nice color. Personally, I don't mind the gold glitter as most of it just falls off while you apply it. The texture is smooth and it's not chalky at all.

Chinese sources confirmed the last week that the country's second aircraft carrier is under construction. Furthermore, China appears to have plans to float four aircraft carriers by 2020. The military expansion has some worried that China will be making a major play for power in Asia, over the next decade or two.

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: China, Liaoning, aircraft carrier, plans, number, intentions, war, conflict, Asia, South China Sea, Japan, Korea
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A pro-Beijing newspaper based in Hong Kong reports that Wang Min, the Communist Party secretary of China's northeastern province of Liaoning, confirmed construction on that country's second aircraft carrier has started in his province.
China already has one aircraft carrier, of Soviet origin. That carrier, now known as the "Liaoning," was originally built in Ukraine, but went unfinished after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Ukraine inherited the carrier, but it was never finished. That carrier was later sold to a Hong Kong investor in 1998, for $20 million. The plan was to turn the unused ship into a floating casino.
A prayer for peace is never wasted.
It's likely the plan was a ruse, because the ship was never docked in Hong Kong. Instead it was towed to Dalian shipyard in northeastern China and finished as an aircraft carrier.
Both the Liaoning and the next three Chinese aircraft carriers that are slated for construction, are about half the size of standard US aircraft carriers. They carry about one third the number of aircraft. Although China seems to be catching up in defense, it still lags far behind the United States and other major Western powers in technological capability.
The nation does however have a stealth-capable fighter which may be able to operate from the carrier, especially if the aircraft's design is lightened.
The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) says it would like to have all four carriers operational by 2020. This may be far-fetched, because China does not seem to have the construction facilities ready to build the two additional carriers within the next six years. It is reasonable to believe they will have two, possibly three afloat by then, with the fourth well under construction.
Regardless of the timetable, the greater question must be, what does China plan to do with the carriers?
Because of limitations of size, technology, and probably military tactics, it is highly unlikely that China intends to rival the United States anytime soon in the Pacific, or South China Sea. What is more likely is that the country will use these carriers to project power over other Asian nations in the region.
North and South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Vietnam will almost certainly be impacted by the deployment of these carriers. They could also operate further afield, controlling in the Indian Ocean, and even protecting against Somali pirates in the Red Sea.
China could also use the carriers for humanitarian missions, much as the United States use theirs. The carriers would be ideally suited for quick deliveries of humanitarian supplies to disaster stricken regions throughout the Pacific. This should be a benevolent use of the carriers, and like the United States, it would build favor with countries receiving aid.
The most dangerous prospect behind the development of these carriers of course, is the militarization of Asian seas. North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and China, and even the Philippines to a limited extent, are all said to be increasing military budgets and developing new naval assets. Competition for resources in the area, especially rich fishing grounds, is only expected to intensify over the coming years. If enough competition develops and enough war material is built, the region could become a powder keg, at least for a sharp, limited engagement.
Indeed we would do well to remember Homer's warning, "the sword itself incites to violence."

Police shoot mountain lion in back yard
A mountain lion was shot inside the Des Moines city limits Thursday morning.
Police were called to the scene in the 3900 block of Columbia Street about 9:30 a.m. by the homeowner who spotted the cat under plants in his back yard.
The scene is about two blocks north of Euclid Avenue in a Highland Park neighborhood.
Police said an officer shot the mountain lion near a greenhouse in the back yard of the home. It was 6 feet 3 inches long, police said.
"The officers knew, due to the size of the mountain lion, that its escape would be of great danger to the public. The lion made a dashing move leaving officers no choice but to shoot the lion," said police spokesman Sgt. Christopher Scott in a news release.
Police said that approximately two hours before the shooting that there were reports of a mountain lion around Madison Elementary School.
The scene is close to two Des Moines schools: two blocks north of Harding Middle School and four blocks west of Madison Elementary School.
The investigation into the incident is under way.
Jeff Swearngin is a conservation officer from the Department of Natural Resources. He said it appears the animal was just roaming the area.
On July 12, a mountain lion was spotted in an area west of where the cat was shot Thursday. A resident of a Norwoodville neighborhood, which is just southeast of the eastern mixmaster reported a mountain lion in the 3200 block of NE 46th Street on July 12. Children at the Norwoodville Rec Center were told to go inside as a precaution.
Two police cars were sent to check out the report, but never found the cat during the July incident.
