Wayne Nathan NANCE
Wayne Nance is one of the few unlucky serial killers
to be murdered by his final intended victims. Unfortunately, it would be
too late for at least three people that saw their lives snuffed out by
the homocidal Montana man.
The beginning of the end for Nance occurred when he
invaded the home of co-worker Kris Welles and her husband Doug in
Missoulla. Nance had quietly become obsessed with Kris and obviously
intended to make her pay for some unknown snub towards him by killing
her and her husband on September 4, 1986.
The obsessed slayer clubbed
and stabbed Doug, leaving him for dead in the basement of the couple's
home, and then forced Kris upstairs to the bedroom with the intent of
raping her and most certainly killings her as well. Despite Doug's
injuries, however, he managed to grab a rifle loaded with a single shot
and confront Nance in an upstairs hallway where the two men exchanged
shots, both being hit. Still Doug kept coming and with help from Kris,
clubbed their attacker into submission and shot him dead with Nance's
own pistol. Doug Welles recovered from his injuries.
It soon became evident to authorities that this was
not an isolated incident from Nance. In 1974, when Nance was just
eighteen, Donna Pounds was murdered in a fashion eerily similar to
elements of the Welles' attack. Nance was a close friend of Pounds' son.
A search of Nance's home showed that he was in possession of property
stolen form the home of Michael and Theresa Hook, victims of a 1985
double-murder that also bore similarities to the Welles. crime. In
addition, hairs from the search matched those of a Jane Doe found dead
in 1984. Around that time a woman, unnamed still but believed to be the
Jane Doe, disappeared after staying for a short time with Nance.
Nance is also believed to possibly be the killer of a
Seattle runaway found dead near Missoulla in 1980 and the attacker of a
five-year-old girl in 1974. The youngster had been sexually molested and
stabbed by managed to survive.
Serial-Killers A-Z
Nance, Wayne
An independent truck driver from Missoula, Montana, Wayne Nance had been known as a "weirdo" since his teens, when he boasted of worshipping Satan and once used a hot coathanger to brand himself with Satanic symbols.
By age thirty, Nance appeared to have worked through most of his adolescent problems, impressing his employers and acquaintances as something of an "average guy."
On the night of September 4, 1986, Nance turned at the Missoula home of a female store manager, for whom he sometimes delivered furniture. Meeting her husband outside, Nance clubbed him with a piece of wood, invading the house and drawing a pistol as he forced the woman upstairs, tying her to a bed. Doubling back, Nance dragged her husband into the basement and was binding him to a post when the man regained consciousness. Drawing a knife, Nance plunged it into the victim's chest and left him for dead. While Nance went back upstairs to rape his female victim, the wounded husband freed himself and found a rifle he kept in the basement. Nance met him on the stairs, gun in hand, and both men were wounded in the exchange of shots. Attacking despite his injuries, the husband broke his rifle stock on Nance's skull, then seized the pistol and dispatched Nance with a bullet to the brain. The would-be killer's bind-and-slash technique reminded local officers of an unsolved case dating from 1974.
Housewife Donna Pounds had been raped and murdered in her Missoula home by persons unknown, twelve years before the bungled crime that left Nance dead. Their suspect, then eighteen, had been a friend of Pounds's son, but officers had not suspected Nance of personal involvement in the case. A search of Nance's home turned up a hunting knife and small ceramic statuette stolen from the home of Michael and Theresa Shook, in nearby Hamilton, Montana, after they were murdered in December 1985.
Their killer also tried to burn the house while children slept upstairs, but neighbors had arrived before the fire had time to spread. The body-count for Nance was three and climbing. Female hairs recovered from his camper had been treated with a dye that matched the tresses of a "Jane Doe" corpse unearthed outside Missoula in December 1984. In those days, Nance was working as a bouncer in a local bar, and witnesses recalled a youthful female drifter who had shared his lodgings - and abruptly disappeared - in autumn of that year.
Detectives also feel that Nance may be connected with the death of a Seattle runaway, found buried near Missoula during March of 1980. With the suspect permanently silent, we may never know how many other crimes "weird" Wayne committed in the years before he pushed his luck too far.

Guns save lives
By Phil Valentine
- WorldNetDaily.com
September 12, 2003
The gun-haters
start with the basic premise that guns are bad. You shouldn't have them
in your house because they're dangerous, they say. I should let you know
right from the start that handguns are used for protection against
criminals in America nearly 2 million times per year. That's up to five
times more often than they're used to commit crimes and nearly 128 times
the total number of murders in the United States. Those stats alone are
good enough to blow any anti-gun argument out of the water, but there's
more. According to the National Crime Victimization Surveys, people who
use guns to defend themselves are less likely to be attacked or injured
than people who use other methods of protection or don't defend
themselves at all.
Robert A. Waters chronicled many
such stories in his book "The Best Defense" (Cumberland House). In one
of the most gripping accounts, Waters tells of a psychotic serial killer
who brutalized his victims before killing them. One woman was found dead
with a gun shoved in her vagina. Wayne Nance was one of the most
sadistic killers in American history, and he attempted to make a couple
in Missoula, Mont., Kris and Doug Wells, his 11th and 12th victims. That
proved to be his fatal mistake. You see, Nance had chosen a couple who
kept guns in the house.
Nance had been stalking Kris, and
when Doug surprised him outside the couple's home, the killer shot him
in the back of the head. Dazed and bleeding from a deep scalp wound,
Doug struggled with his assailant from the garage into the house. Amazed
that Doug was even still alive, Nance pounded him with a length of pipe
and finally prevailed. After grabbing Kris and tying her to the bed
frame in the couple's bedroom, Nance took Doug to the basement and tied
him to a post. Doug, a gunsmith by profession, had earlier placed an
antique lever-action Savage Model 99G Take-Down rifle near his workbench
in the basement. He knew that if he could get to it, he and his wife
might have a chance.
Doug had been shot, bound and
beaten nearly to death, but Nance still stabbed him in the chest with an
oak-handle kitchen knife, puncturing one of his lungs. The killer then
left to have his way with Kris, most assuredly intending to kill her
afterward, as he had done with so many of his other victims. Somehow,
Doug managed to muster enough strength to break loose from the
clothesline that bound him. He grabbed the Savage, loaded it, and waited,
knowing that if he headed upstairs for the bedroom, Nance would surely
use Kris as a shield. Doug banged the butt of the rifle against the wall
to get Nance's attention. The ploy worked. Nance raced back toward the
basement stairs, and as soon as he came into view Doug let him have it
with the Savage.
In the meantime, Kris had managed
to free herself except for one arm. Hearing the shot, she feared that
Nance had killed her husband. Doug managed to stumble up the stairs, and
when he saw the wounded Nance begin to rise, proceeded to pummel him
with the butt of the rifle. As Nance crawled toward the bedroom, Doug
continued to beat him with the gun until the butt splintered. By then,
Nance was in range of the still-tethered Kris, who began to kick and
punch him. Nance pulled his gun from its pouch on his belt and fired at
Doug, missing him. His second shot caught Doug just above the knee, but
Doug kept coming, beating Nance with the barrel of the rifle. In the
process, he knocked the lamp off the bedside table, plunging the room
into darkness. Doug heard another explosion, and as he lunged for the
table where he kept a pistol, he hit the switch for the overhead light.
When he grabbed the handgun and trained it on Nance, who lay on the
floor convulsing and twitching, Doug saw that the criminal had shot
Wayne Nance died a few hours
later. Doug Wells miraculously recovered from his wounds, and his wife,
Kris, was not physically harmed. Care to wonder what would have happened
had Doug Wells not had a gun in the house? Want to guess how many other
innocent victims Wayne Nance might have slain had Doug Wells not killed
him? This is but one example of literally millions of times that guns
have saved lives, something the anti-gun nuts don't want you to know.
But now you do.

WIESBADEN, Germany — "If you could keep one person safe, who would it be?" asks the petite woman of a roomful of military police men and women. "Bring that person to your mind's eye and constantly reflect on that person throughout this training. "I can't change the whole world, not on my own" said Jennifer Quain, a trained sexual assault victim advocate and prevention educator, during the rape culture and consent awareness class. "But if I can convince you to say, 'I'm going to stop using the words slut or whore to stop rape culture,' I'll take it."

T-Shirt - Brandy Melville// Skirt - Modern Amusement// Belt - Gifted// Shoes - Aldo Shoes// Bag - Michael Kors// Watch - Betsey Johnson// Sunnies - Michael Kors
I did it everyone. I cut my hair. Godric I feel so different, but of course in the best way possible. It was a really easy decision about cutting my hair - one day I just told myself "hey I think I should cut my hair" then bam got it cut within that week. No stress, no second thoughts. I just did it and I love it. Aside from the haircut, my sister decided to get me a Valentine's Day present, which was this lovely simple black pocket t-shirt from Brandy Melville featuring a tiny alien. She thought it was pretty appropriate to buy me since the emoji next to my name on her contacts is the alien one. Such a great staple that just tells a tiny bit about yourself! I know NYFW just ended and boy do I have some catching up to do. First grip of exams are upon us and as always, school comes first. So until then, stay fabulous!

Asite PLC
28 September 2005
28th September 2005.
• Turnover up 1% at £0.793million
• Cost of sales down 48% to £0.210million from £0.406million
• Gross profit up by 53% to £0.583million
• Net cash outflow before financing reduced to £0.489million from
• Significant action taken to reduce costs
Colin Goodall, Chairman of Asite plc comments:
In the first half of 2005 the Group maintained revenue levels, whilst at the
same time improving gross profit by 58%. This improvement in performance
follows the decision in 2003 to reduce reliance on reseller arrangements and to
develop our own suite of software. We have also reduced our Administration
expenses (including development costs) significantly which fell from
£1.500million to £1.321million. The Group has continued to reduce costs, the
full impact of which will fall in the second half of 2005.
The Asite Platform is now functioning well and is meeting our clients'
performance requirements. Accordingly our focus in the second half of 2005 will
be on business development and sales.
The Board believes that it has implemented the required actions to bring Asite
to a position of profitable trading in terms of reducing operating costs and
improving the technical performance of the Asite Platform. With the focus of
the business now on sales, the Board believes that substantial progress towards
profitable trading will be made in the second half of 2005.

Chairman's Statement
Results and dividends
In my statement to shareholders in the Annual Report for the year ended 31
December 2004 I referred to the challenging conditions and technical issues
faced by the Group in the second half of 2004. I am pleased to report that the
technical issues alluded to have now been resolved and we have seen an
improvement in new contract sales in the first half of 2005.
The Group's operating loss of £0.959million compares with a loss of
£0.843million in the six months ended 30 June 2004, and £3.931million in the 12
months ended 31 December 2004. Net cash outflow before refinancing was reduced
from £1.204million to £0.489million. As at the year ended 31 December 2004
development of the Group's flagship product, Asite Project Workflow, was
substantially complete. Accordingly, the Group ceased capitalising development
costs, in accordance with the Group policy on capitalisation of development
costs, in January this year. In the first half of 2004 £0.471million of costs
were capitalised. When comparing operating losses in the first half of 2005
with those of 2004 including development costs, it is clear that the Group has
made substantial progress in reducing its cost base.
The loss per share was 0.5p compared with 0.7p and 3.6p (losses) respectively in
the previous half and full year. Turnover edged ahead to £0.793million from
£0.788million. However, more importantly, our gross profit increased to
£0.583million from £0.382million, an increase of 53%. This significant
improvement reflects our reduced dependency on reseller agreements.
Development of the Group
The Group has now completed building its software development team in India
where 62 staff are currently employed. In addition to development, system
operations, design, testing and support activities are all carried out from our
operations there. We have continued to reduce our cost base in the UK; as at 30
June 2005 our UK gross payroll costs had reduced to 50% of the comparative level
as at 30 June 2004.
We continue to bring improved versions of our products to the market. We have
released two new versions of Asite Project Workflow and Asite Tender this year.
Prior to the release of new products vigorous internal and external user
acceptance testing has been undertaken to ensure that required quality levels
are achieved.
The Group entered in to a framework agreement with a major customer, Laing
O'Rourke, whereby Asite services are procured by it at agreed rates, subject to
a cap, over a three year period. The Group was also awarded a contract to
provide collaboration services to Stanhope Properties plc in relation to the
redevelopment of Bracknell Town Centre. This contract has a value of
In March this year Mr Thomas Dengenis resigned as Group Chief Executive.
Following his resignation, Mr Gordon Ashworth was appointed Acting Chief
Executive Officer and the Board continues to keep this position under review.
Operational review
The value of new sales contracts won during the six months ended 30 June 2005
amounted to £1.498million. As at 30 June 2005 the value of our contracted sales
pipeline stood at £3.4million compared with an amount of £2.9million as at 30
June 2004.
Take up and usage of Asite's products remains strong. Total users accessing our
platform have increased by 23% between January and June 2005. The total number
of organisations registered on the platform has increased by 31% to 2,225 as at
30 June 2005. We are starting to experience growth in traffic through our
business transaction gateway, which allows suppliers and buyers to connect their
accounting and procurement systems. The number of transactions being processed
through this system increased by 68 % in the first six months of 2005. The
operational stability of the platform continues to improve with performance
levels remaining above client contractual requirements.
The second half of 2004 represented a set back in Asite's path to sustainable
and profitable trading. We have now addressed the technical issues which held
the Group back. In addition we have reduced our UK costs to a more sustainable
level. The Group is now focussing its available resources on sales and business
development and our progress in the first half of 2005 has been promising.
In the annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2004 reference
was made to the continued support required from Mr Robert Tchenguiz. As at 30
June 2005 Asite plc remained within the borrowing limits set out in that report.
At the Annual General Meeting held on 26 July 2005 consent was obtained from
shareholders, inter alia, to grant a specific charge over the Intellectual
Property of the Group to Mr Tchenguiz as security for the loans that he has made
The directors believe that all reasonable actions required to bring the business
to a position of sustainable and profitable trading are being undertaken by the
executive directors of the Group. These include the reduction of costs, the off
shoring of development activities to a sustainable cost area and through the
maintenance of a strong focus on business development. The directors are
confident that Asite will continue to make progress towards profitable and
sustainable trading.

The early stage of development of the Group's business is such that there can be
considerable unpredictable variation in the amount of revenue and timing and
amounts of cash flows. The directors have projected cash flow information for
the period to 30 June 2006. On the basis of this cash flow information, the
directors are of the opinion that additional funding will be required. The
directors are working towards bringing the Group to a level of profitable
trading. In doing so, they are assessing, on a regular basis, cost levels,
sales activities and research and development expenditure.
Over the past twelve months, Mr Robert Tchenguiz has provided the Group with the
financial support it has required in the form of loans from two companies, Rotch
Property Group Limited and R20 Limited, of which Mr Robert Tchenguiz is a
director. In accordance with the capital restructuring the Group allotted
84,585,014 B Ordinary shares to Rotch Property Group Limited and R20 Limited the
consideration for which was the forgiveness of £8.459m of loans that these
companies had made to the Group. The directors believe that Mr Robert Tchenguiz
will continue to provide the funding required and have received written
confirmation from him that he intends to provide this funding in the form of a
new loan facility, which amounts to £0.722million and that he will not call for
the repayment of this new loan before 31 December 2006.
There is inherent uncertainty as to the realisation of the forecasts. The
directors consider that in preparing the financial statements they have taken
into account the uncertainty and all information that could reasonably be
expected to be available. On this basis, the directors have formed a judgement
at the time of approving the financial statements that they consider it
appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result should
the going concern basis of accounting no longer be appropriate.
If the Group were unable to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future, adjustments would have been made to reduce the balance sheet
values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further
liabilities that might arise and to reclassify assets and long-term liabilities
as current assets and liabilities.
These accounts are not the statutory accounts of the Group. The statutory group
accounts of Asite plc for the year to 31 December 2004 were filed with the
Registrar of Companies, following the AGM on 25 July 2005. The interim report
contains financial information on the year ended 31 December 2004 which
constitutes non-statutory accounts for the purposes of section 240 of the
Companies Act 1985. The auditors provided an emphasis of matter on their
opinion on these accounts on the basis of the ability of Asite Plc to continue
as a going concern as detailed in note 1. The numbers in the interim financial
statements to 30 June 2005 are neither reviewed nor audited.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards. They have all been applied consistently throughout the year and the
preceding year.

FRS 14 requires presentation of diluted loss per share when a company could be
called upon to issue shares that would decrease net profit or increase net loss
per share. For a loss making company with outstanding share options, net loss
per share would only be increased by the exercise of out-of-the-money options.
No adjustment has been made to diluted loss per share for out-of-the-money share
options and there are no other diluting future share issues, therefore diluted
loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

It may be that different readers are getting a different impression of my treatment of Doherty's book depending on whether they have read the extended ongoing conversation about mythicism that preceded it here. And so I thought that I would post here, for the convenience of anyone who may be interested, a round-up of my previous blogging about this topic. I posted a round-up on January 26th, 2011, and so I will link to that round-up to cover my earlier blogging on mythicism, and below I only include more recent posts on the subject.

IRVINE, Calif., and NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CombiMatrix Corporation (Nasdaq:CBMX), a molecular diagnostics company specializing in DNA-based testing services for developmental disorders and cancer diagnostics, and Manhattan Labs jointly announced today that they have entered into a strategic partnership under which Manhattan Labs will market and distribute CombiMatrix microarray tests for the miscarriage management testing market in the New York City metropolitan area. The partnership was enabled by the announcement in late June that CombiMatrix miscarriage management tests had received conditional approval from the New York State Department of Health for testing on patient samples within the state. Manhattan Labs is a high-end, independent clinical laboratory that serves the New York City metropolitan area. Women's health, particularly obstetrics and reproductive issues, is one of Manhattan Lab's specialties, noted Chief Executive Officer Ken Cerney. "Our goal is to be the premier, full-service independent clinical laboratory in the New York City area," Cerney said. "Our labs offer the highest quality testing for all patients and now we have added a new focus on miscarriage management. We believe adding the operational and analytical support of CombiMatrix will be beneficial to our physician customers and their patients, and will expand the breadth of services we provide. We also believe in the growing importance and clinical advantages microarray testing provides for appropriate patients and look forward to working in partnership with CombiMatrix." Miscarriage management testing, a subset of the overall prenatal testing market, allows OB/GYN physicians and clinicians to better determine if there is a genetic cause for a miscarriage or other related events. As in other areas of prenatal genetic analysis, microarray testing is believed by many to be the coming standard of care as it identifies a greater number of possible genetic abnormalities more accurately than traditional methods.

Another year, another birthday.
I used to scoff at mums who went on about how quick the years go and here I am doing the same.
Seven has arrived, and with it one direction, opinions, a bigger bed and an independence I'm trying hard to accommodate. I want her to have her own opinions and be independent, it's a different sort of parenting I'm facing now.
The birthday celebrations kicked off early with a birthday cake courtesy of Baker Days. We ate it on the train coming back from Strictly Come Dancing Live (highly recommended).
We celebrated with a family birthday tea on Sunday followed by one for friends on the Monday. The theme was based around the kids doing missions so we had a treasure hunt, a scavenger hunt and some eating challenges. I made the hotdog spaghetti stuff, which came out really well. We finished up with a quiz. The most surprising bit being that they all new who sang 'mama do the hump', but nobody knew the name of the prime minister?! Nevermind, the quicker we all forget about DC, the better.
Over the weekend the long overdue upgrade from kiddy bed to proper bed took place. She's also purchased a bike, a new helmet and some gloves with her birthday money.
I'm trying hard not to hanker after years gone by and baby cuddles. Seven is a great age, her character is coming to the fore and she's beginning to challenge ideas. She has a strong sense of self and I'm proud of the little lady she is becoming. I'm even teaching her to iron!

Bartender Jack Araque mixes martinis with a passion at Mandarin Oriental, Miami's M-Bar.
My day as bartender at M-Bar, Mandarin Oriental, Miami starts with the mise en place (putting everything in its place). First, I select the ingredients, from the bright yellow lemons for Lemon Drops to the crispy celery for Bloody Marys and mint for mojitos; everything needs to be fresh and washed with water to prepare for cutting. I cut the fruit and divide it all into two categories: garnish and ingredients. Then I change the juices, creams and mixes, as fresh flavours are key to creating a cocktail.
After a routine inventory, checking liquor bottles are in the same place and backups are handy, preparing snack trays, polishing glassware and counting the change, I do a brief line-up of how my night is going to be. By then, it's 5pm and we are open for business.
The first guests arrive – some of whom meet in the bar to talk business – and my day in the 'office' begins. As we go into the night, the drinks can get quite complex. Some customers want to try something different or need guidance after reading our extensive list of over 250 martinis! So I suggest a martini to suit their taste – I usually begin with the spirit, asking if they prefer gin, vodka or rum; sweetness or dryness, and favourite flavours. I suggest a couple of martinis that best match their descriptions.
Sometimes a guest wants a personalised drink. In this case, I ask specific questions about their preferences: flavours, fruits, dry or wet, sweet or sour, cocktail or martini, shaken or stirred… Based on the answers I obtain from the customer, I mix the ingredients and create that special drink they'll really want, or, in some cases, a cocktail that nobody has created for them in the past.
At the end of the day, we are all bartenders. We can open a can of beer, and we can all open a bottle of wine; however, why doesn't every bartender mix good cocktails? Well, let's say that to be a bartender you need a harmonious combination of experience, knowledge, and love for the profession – with a touch of inspiration.

A surge in Microsoft Corp.'s share price pushed Bill Gates' net worth to $50.37 billion, based on the number of shares in his possession as of the company's 1997 annual report. Microsoft closed at $93, up $1.68.
Bill Gates could personally erase the federal deficit.
That makes the Microsoft (MSFT) chairman worth more than all the gold in Fort Knox and all but about 42 countries, according to the Bill Gates Net Worth Page.
Also, it may make you wonder why Gates is fretting over the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into his company. According to the Net Worth Page, he could now personally afford to pay the $1 million-a-day fine requested by the DOJ for 137 years. That assumes, of course, that Microsoft shares remain at their current level and that the DOJ wins its sought-after penalty. (The numbers also don't take taxes into account.)
|What is there to say about someone who is worth $50 billion? Add your comments to the bottom of this story.
Or he could just buy pro sports teams. All of them. According to the Net Worth page, Gates could afford to buy every major league baseball, football, basketball and hockey team in the U.S. and Canada -- and still have plenty of change to spare.
Gates could afford to buy every major league baseball, football, basketball, and hockey team.
The page, which updates automatically based on Microsoft's share price, also points out that Gates could afford to give $8.52 to everyone in the world. Or, if he wanted to keep the money at home, he could give $186.93 to every American. Or he could restrict his giving to Microsoft employees. In that case, each one would get about $2.26 million.
And if he wanted to spend all his money himself by the year 2010? He'd have to spend $12.54 million a day.

Organisers of the Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally are inviting car enthusiasts from Ilkley to burn rubber for more than 1,000 miles to Monte Carlo via France, Switzerland and Italy to raise money for charity.
The rally challenges entrants to source a banger car for less than £250 and take part in a variety of hilarious challenges along the way competing for points and prizes. Teams are encouraged to raise money for a local charity of their choice and can share their progress with supporters back home via live GPS tracking.
Inspired by the classic Paramount film, the three-day crusade will see more than 100 of the finest British bangers visit some of Europe's most exciting locations and experience spectacular roads with backdrops of sun, sea, sand and snow! Rally spokesman, Cuthbert Ware-Armitage, said: "I am laying down the challenge to the good people of Ilkley to join me on Europe's ultimate banger rally adventure. This is a brilliant opportunity to get your team into gear and experience some of the greatest roads in Europe in some of worst cars from Ilkley!"
Monte Carlo or Bust takes place in June and July. For details, visit at montecarloorbustrally.com.

MAC Pro Longwear LipColour
MAC Pro Longwear LipColour Reviews
The Best Lipstain w/out drying outI loved mac since I was 14yrs old and when this product came out I had to try it. I have all the neutral, seasonal and reddish colors in these and absolutely Love them. It doesn't dry out your lips like covergirl, myabelline and revlons. This las all day and you just need one coat or it can get cakey. I mix my nude w/dark red for a a more pinkish look and it is great with any other lipgloss ove...read morer it if you don't like the mac clear. I like to put a sheer glitter color to tone down the color. It last's a very long time and perfect for gym, hiking or a casual day because it stays on ALL day. It's worth the price and is the best lipstain out there. Careful though because there colors come and go and so when I find one I like, I buy 2-3 of them. It literally makes my lips look like either I had a pinkish tint tattooed on or naturally rosy pretty lips. — 4 years, 10 months agoLani702 | 118 reviews
Stays on...This definitely stays on for hours, hours but if you press your lips together one too many times it gets cakey. Other than that it is great! — 9 years, 10 months agoalissa929 | 219 reviews
Longwear definitely lastsThis is a great product. it looks good and wears well. But it's very pricey. I decided to try it after using Revlon ColorStay Lipstick for years to see if there was any difference. The only difference is that the revlon products costs less than $10.00 and works just as well. — 2 years, 11 months agoNCPeach | 1 reviews

Gag me with the Gangnam jokes
- By Colum LynchColum Lynch is Foreign Policy's award-winning U.N.-based senior diplomatic reporter.

- @columlynch
South Korea's election to the U.N. Security Council may or may not make a difference in easing the nuclear standoff with North Korea.
But it is likely to lead to the proliferation of even more corny jokes about the Korean pop sensation, Psy, and his "Gangnam Style" music video sensation.
Korean diplomats, international civil servants, and American diplomats posted in Korea have been milking the dance craze, promoting the new South Korean flair in contrast to the dour image projected by North Korea's nuclear-armed dynasty.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the former Korean foreign minister, will actually begin a speech today decrying the end of his status as the best-known South Korean in the world. (Ban once told an aide that he had been mistaken for Kim Jong Il during one of his first U.S. tours as secretary general).
"The other day I was introduced by a journalist as the most famous Korean on the planet,"says Ban, according to a prepared speech he will deliver to students at Drake University. "But I had to relinquish that title to Psy, the singer of Gangnam Style!"
Earlier this week, the Korean president of the International Criminal Court, Sang-Hyun Song, worked a Gangnam line into his address to the U.N. Security Council.
"Let me apologize in advance if I slightly overstep the conventional time limit allocated to speakers," he said. "I am afraid I could not stay within say, 10 minutes even if I were to speak in Gangnam Style."
Sadly, the jokes aren't even restricted to Korean leaders. The U.S. ambassador to Korea, Sung Kim, got a group of interns to perform the Gangnam Style dance at the embassy.
"I wish I could do the dance for you, but I can't. I'm just a horrible dancer," he said on his online "Ask the Ambassador" series. "But, I have very talented interns at the embassy who are willing to do the dance for you."
Ban meanwhile told the Agence France Presse that he is big fan of Psy, and has seen the video "several times."
"I'm very proud that his performance has been loved and enjoyed by more than 400 million people," Ban said. "It is amazing."
Ban apparently has not, however, instructed his own staff to perform it. "I haven't seen anyone around doing the dance," said a U.N. official. "But he is happy that everyone else seems to be doing it."

On 29 October, Jonathan Smithers, president of the Law Society, delivered a speech at the Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA) Conference.
I am delighted to be part of this thought-provoking panel discussion here today. The question that I have been asked to address is 'will lawyers be replaced by robots?'
I will start by explaining how artificial intelligence has permeated our lives, then move on to the legal consequences, and lastly outline briefly what I believe our responsibilities are as leaders of Law Societies and Bar Associations.
More productive...
Used to be words to describe what we wanted from our internet broadband connection.
Now they describe what we expect not only from all our products and services but also from each other. The expectations that we have from the world and the world has from us are dynamic, ever-changing and transforming at speed.
By combining a basket of different technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as the answer to these unprecedented expectations and needs:
AI is all around us.
Complicated and repetitive tasks are better performed by computer algorithms and mechanisms than by the human mind. The margin of error is narrower, the work is done more quickly and the training required is minimal.
Around the world the justice and legal systems have started to embrace the use of technology and the benefits of artificial intelligence. Data analytics are used, for example, to help predict crime and shape social policy.
Firms all around the world have improved the way they conduct legal research by using systems like 'Ross'. Developed by IBM, it is a tool which allows legal practitioners to use natural language and ask questions, rather than use keywords. Ross then provides citations and suggests topical readings from a variety of sources.
The uses of artificial intelligence do not stop there, however. I recently looked at an app that:
We are living in a world in which we have become part of the app.
Our phones and gadgets seem to know us better than we know ourselves. It can even pass judgement on your lifestyle choices, such as congratulating us when we hit a certain fitness target.
Mine has broken, as it seems to have forgotten to congratulate me...
Artificial Intelligence is not only all around us but it is also a part of us.
And this is just the start.
We must face the fact that artificial intelligence will become more entrenched in our lives. There is a correlative duty for us as lawyers to scan the horizon, think of the consequences of its uses and, where needed, we must act.
There is a wealth of research on the ethical consequences of artificial intelligence. However, I just want to focus on the legal effects that result from this new use of technology.
Artificial intelligence relies heavily on the use of personal and corporate data for all its practical applications. This inevitably raises serious issues of privacy and data protection.
How will 'big data' - such as your search engine history, your online banking, your medical history - be collected, be used, and stored?
For what purposes can that data be accessed and by whom?
Who is responsible for keeping it safe?
How will we handle global data breaches across different jurisdictions?
Last week Amazon initiated proceedings against thousands of 'fake reviewers', who were paid to give high ratings to products and books in order to raise their profiles on their site. This test case will address some of these questions, and might serve as a precedent for cases in other jurisdictions to follow. The answers, however, will not be comprehensive and many grey areas will still remain.
There is some domestic and emerging international legislation on data protection, however, it is limited and reactive. The legal profession has a responsibility to start answering these questions now and to work together with policy makers and legislators to build a robust framework with appropriate safeguards.
Corporate technology giants, software developers and computer programmers are leading on innovation and setting the pace of a new world order.
Google estimates that in less than five years, there will be driverless cars on the streets of the main cities. This activity, which inevitably involves risk, raises questions of tort and accountability when things go wrong.
These self-driving systems may need to make split-second decisions that raise legal questions. A child suddenly runs into the road and the car has to choose: hit the child or swerve into an oncoming bus.
Legal practitioners and academics need to come together to think ahead of the consequences of the new uses of technology and put forward ideas for the best legal response.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly pushing the boundaries of the traditional areas of law. Property law, my own area of practice, and intellectual property law are areas which are currently being tested on a number of points.
The introduction of 3D printers has posed some serious legal questions. Although the technology used by 3D printers is not strictly AI, there is emerging thinking on the convergence of 3D printing, nanotechnology and even neurotechnology which is already making machines more intelligent.
There is now the possibility of emailing the design of an object to print it on the other side of the world. Then a 3D printer is used to produce this object. In the UK, the Royal Mail has recently launched a 3D printing system last year.
This new model raises a number of questions:
This example shows that there are new ways of ownership that are not currently predicted by our country's statutes or case law. Consequentially, it may generate new and previously unthought-of economic models.
The issue becomes even more problematic when technology is used for a sinister purpose. Criminal enterprises are known for using technology to further their aims.
What will be the consequences of using a gun that was developed and produced using a 3D printer?
How will the judiciary determine the type of offence?
Who will be charged?
What legal measures are needed to prevent these incidents?
It is our responsibility, our duty, to map such new uses of technology against the scenarios of risk in order to enable us to plan effectively for the future.
The majority of the questions which I have just raised do not currently have answers in the law.
Artificial intelligence is dictating the way that we do the law. We, as a profession, seem to be playing catch-up.
Corporate technology giants, programmers and software engineers have already imagined the future and are executing their vision.
Returning to the original question: will robots replace lawyers?
Many of our clients are already using the web for self-diagnosis. Many of them will google their legal problems before they come to see us.
Self-diagnosis, facilitated by artificial intelligence, is not and will never be a complete replacement for lawyers.
We do so much more than dispensing black-letter law.
An artificial intelligence system is designed to stimulate human thinking but not creative or independent thought. Both of these qualities are essential for the legal profession and the discharge of our professional legal obligations of upholding the rule of law and the proper administration of justice.
Artificial intelligence is incapable of developing creative legal arguments that are needed in both contentious and non-contentious matters. Its ability of interpreting data is also extremely limited.
Although 'robots' might come up with a shortlist of relevant precedents, statues and regulation, they lack the ability to make a persuasive argument that takes the context into account, the individual circumstances of a client and, most importantly, the human experience.
From making the argument to a lender to reconsider repossessing a home of a client who is facing financial hardship, to acting on behalf of a state in an international commercial court, expert argument is required to show the complete picture. Without this, decision makers and the judiciary will be unable to dispense justice effectively.
No algorithm exists to replace us and the work that we do.
Just because an algorithm might perform efficiently it does not mean that it will be correct.
People do not want to be judged by an algorithm.
Finally, empathy and building trust with a client is an essential quality for lawyers which artificial intelligence systems lack. We have moral and ethical responsibilities in the work that we do, whereas AI does not.
Lawyers are and should, however, continue to use artificial intelligence to improve their work. For example, in digitisation of documents or legal research. These drive efficiencies, increase accuracy, assist with client retention and have the potential to reduce overheads and drive greater profits.
Sophisticated legal research tools, such as 'Ross', are very useful and even have parameters to make decisions, but they do not make the decisions themselves. Expert legal intervention through lawyers is always needed.
Artificial intelligence systems are still unable to think of a vision of a better future, to plan and execute its delivery accordingly. This is why collaboration between lawyers and 'robots' seems to be the way forward. We have already seen this in the medical profession, where sophisticated software tools are already being used for early diagnosis of cancer in primary care, helping doctors to identify symptoms more quickly and accurately.
The future of the legal profession is likely to follow suit.
The challenges posed by artificial intelligence are global, fast-paced and overwhelming. The solution requires the leaders of Law Societies and Bar Associations to come together:
Thank you.
The advice and precedents in this practical toolkit help ensure your cyber security policies/procedures are effective.

According to a press release we just received, Dr. Bruce Thiessen is a conservative singer/songwriter/psychologist who doesn't like Neil Young.
In 2001, Neil Young swallowed his cynicism long enough to come up with a song tribute to the heroes of United Flight 93. His tribute, a song called "Let's Rolled" [sic] earned him sharp criticism from some of his most loyal liberal fans.
Now he's in the studio again, reportedly working on his Bush-bashing CD that is to include a song called Impeach the President. Well, unlike Lynard Skynard [sic], I'm not waiting for the song to come out. Neil Young (Have You Forgotten) represents my preemptive strike.
Dr. Bruce L. Thiessen – "Neil Young (Have You Forgotten)" (MP3)
I think this guy's for real.

pacco a sorpresa/surprise package
I am Italian. You may know this. However, other than this blog's name, the post headers, and a recipe here and there that brings me back to my childhood, someone may not make an immediate connection that this redheaded freckled face girl's family is, indeed, from Genoa and Naples.
Oddly enough, and contrary to every other Sunday dinner and every holiday in my childhood home, pasta is now reserved for special meals. Many of those special times are shared with the teen, who enjoys a hearty pasta dinner. When G and I do sit down for dinner, I try to sneak in opportunities that steer away from the box Mac n' Cheese he grew on in his childhood home, or the standard spaghetti and meat sauce. He has been a trooper, humoring me as he tried my Pasta Crab Casserole and Greek Pasta Salad. Graciously accepting the little victories, I am okay that his palate isn't quite "there" for seafood marinara or a pasta dressed with roasted pumpkin sauce. But, there is always tomorrow. Baby steps, right?
Last week, I created a few pasta dishes that were just for me. When I came across some beautiful halibut fillets, I couldn't pass up the possibilities. Thoughts of the fresh Za'atar a colleague shared with me, freshly squeezed lemon, and lightly seasoned pasta immediately consumed my brain as the fillet's perfect mates. And so, I acted accordingly.
Wait, what was that? What is the Za'atar? Oh, my friends! Za'atar is a lovely Middle Eastern mixture of thyme, sumac, sesame seeds and other herbs. Until now, I have only purchased it. But, having over a cup of freshly blended Za'atar has captured my heart. Just amazing!
When the time came to cook, I decided to use the Barilla PLUS spaghetti I was fortunate to receive. A protein rich, multi-grain pasta, the omega-3 fatty acids and fiber in the spaghetti provided the same traditional taste of my childhood, but with the added health benefits I try do diligently to incorporate into my diet. Just as I live my life, Barilla is committed to helping its customers maintain a wholesome lifestyle without sacrificing flavor…and to helping me maintain energy to muster through my new kickboxing regimen.
For the first dinner of the week, I went fancy-simple and cooked my meal in a paper envelope. Cooking "en papillote" is a technique that allows food to cook in its own steam. Enclosing food in foil or parchment paper brings about a dish's intense flavor in such an simple, no-fuss way, for any course! And, no, you're eyes are not playing tricks on you. I added al dente cooked pasta in my envelope, as well. That way, all the flavors could evenly fuse together.
Halibut en Papillote
2 white fish fillets, like Halibut
3 lemons
1 -2 tsp. Za'atar
2 handfuls baby spinach
(about) 1 ½ cups whole wheat spaghetti cooked al dente, tossed in 1 tsp. grape seed oil
salt and black pepper, to taste
2-4 Tbsp. good quality white wine
salt and black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Cut out 2 pieces of parchment paper, each approximately 11 x 14 inches; set aside.
Prepare ingredients:
Slice one lemon into 6 thin slices; set aside.
Place the fish in a plate, season with salt and pepper, and rub/brush with zest and juice of a second lemon. Rub with Za'atar. Set aside.
Add zest and juice of the third lemon to the al dente cooked spaghetti tossed in oil; add salt and black pepper and mix to combine.
Prepare envelopes for cooking:
Divide spinach and place in the center of each parchment paper piece. Do the same with the spaghetti and place on top of the spinach. Next, top each spaghetti pile with a fish fillet, then with lemon slices. Drizzle with white wine.
Fold the packets, sealing well to prevent any steam from escaping. Place the packets of fish on a baking sheet
and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the packets to stand for 5 minutes before opening. Place a fish packet on each plate and serve.
Cook's Notes:
1. Recipe can be altered according to taste, from the proteins, to vegetables, to the spices. Cooking times may vary.
2. If you prefer to prepare the pasta separately, consider laying the fish on slices of other citrus, like lemon or lime.
3. The wine is not necessary. You can add other liquids to help stream, like stock, water, white grape juice, or orange juice.
Easy, right? Do you enjoy eating and/or making different pasta recipes? Are you a fan of whole wheat pasta or eager to try some? Barilla wants you, too! That's why they'd like to offer a
$25 Visa gift card and 2 boxes of pasta so you can try making your own creation! It's easy to enter. Giveaway has ended.

Microsoft released on Jan. 5 an emergency patch, named MS06-001, which corrects Windows' so-called WMF (Windows metafile) vulnerability. A WMF exploit can silently infect a PC when it merely displays an image in any browser, instant messaging, P2P, e-mail, or in a directory listing in Windows Explorer; when desktop-search applications index an infected image file; and in other ways.
I published a special news update earlier in the week urging readers to install an unofficial patch for this problem. This workaround was also strongly recommended by F-Secure, the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center (ISC), and several other security sites.
Readers should now install the official patch instead, following the steps I describe below.
It's highly unusual for Microsoft to release a patch on a date other than the 2nd Tuesday of each month. In fact, Microsoft had originally announced that it would not release a solution for the WMF hole, which was being actively exploited on the Internet, until Jan. 10.
Microsoft's decision to reverse itself and release the patch out-of-cycle is to be commended. This action reinforces my belief that the WMF hole was so serious that Windows users needed to protect themselves immediately and not wait a week or more for an official Microsoft patch.
The unofficial patch, by Belgian developer Ilfak Guilfanov, was not the only workaround that became available to Windows users in recent days. Microsoft itself suggested in its Dec. 28 security advisory 912840 (which has now been mostly deleted) that users deregister Shimgvw.dll, a vulnerable file. In addition, an unauthorized version of the MS06-001 patch was leaked on some Web sites.
I recommend that individual PC users take the following steps. The procedure I describe below helps you install the official Microsoft patch without problems, regardless of which of the above workarounds, if any, you used. (Information for corporations on scripting patches to install them across a network is available from the ISC.)
Step 1. Reboot your PC. This will remove any infected images that may remain in your PC's memory.

PLEASE NOTE......QUOTED PRICE.......HOMEAWAY HAVE ADDED A SERVICE CHARGE OF APPROXIMATELY 6% (+ VAT) ON TO MY ADVERTISED VILLA PRICE.....this is an entirely OPTIONAL CHARGE LEVIED BY HOMEAWAY. If you wish to pay for the villa through the HOMEAWAY PAYMENT SYSTEM and get the protections that this method of payment affords you, you will pay the extra 6%.
........IF, HOWEVER, YOU WISH TO PAY ME (or any other owner) DIRECT (and we have been letting our villa on this site for 10 years, with 5 star ratings) THEN you will NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS EXTRA CHARGE.....ONLY THE ADVERTISED PRICE IN MY RATES SCHEDULE.
(EXAMPLE......My price for a week in June 2016 is £800......quoted price will be £868.......pay me direct, you will pay £800.....pay through Homeaway payment system, you will pay £868 (I get £800, Homeaway get £68)
.Villa Erdyma is situated 2km from Rethymnon on the north coast of Crete. It has a good sized pool set within attractive gardens and sunbathing terraces. (the pool is about 1.2mtrs deep at the 'shallow' end, which makes it unsuitable for young children, unless they are competent swimmers, or there is close adult supervision........the pool and sun bathing area is,however, fenced off) There is a large roof terrace with views of sea and mountains. Accommodation comprises:- 2 large A/C bedrooms (1 en-suite ) 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, a large A/C lounge/diner and covered terraces from both the lounge and the bedrooms. Good beaches are 15 minutes away by car, and a large s/market 10 minutes walk. Linen and towels are changed weekly.
Car rental: We have found that the best car rental rates can usually be found via 'travel supermarket.com', or 'argus'
A retired family department store owner. We have loved visiting Crete for 25 years and purchased a plot of land in an olive grove in 1999, and built our lovely villa in 2000-2001. In the winter of 2014 we extended the villa by 'raising' the purely decorative roof over the rear of the villa, and turning it into a small 'owners' apartment (will not be used whilst guests are renting the villa, and makes no difference to the accommodation on offer......and has the advantage of offering a large 'shade area' on the roof terrace in the heat of the afternoon)
Robert & Wendy Banbury purchased this villa in 2001
We love our villa......but we are somewhat biased.......our guest reviews will give you a more balanced view of the villa and its facilities !..........we love sitting beside the pool (and bathing in it, of course !).....we love sitting on the roof terrace in the early evening and watching the sun set with a glass of wine to hand........we love visiting the superb tavernas of Rethymno, and visiting all of the boutiques and shoe shops....we love walking around the narrow streets of old Atsipopoulo.
The best features of the property are its privacy and peacefulness, whilst at the same time being very convenient for access to the town of Rethymnon, the main coast road (1km from villa).....plenty of beaches, and the mountainous hinterland.
Villa Erdyma is situated on the outskirts of the village of Atsipopoulo, overlooking the major town of Rethymnon.3km away. The villa is in an olive grove, nearest neighbouring properties are about 50mtrs distant.
Walling and flower covered railings give the villa a high degree of privacy. Rethymnon has many lovely shopping streets, an abundance of superb restaurants and tavernas, a Venetian style harbour....all overlooked by massive castle ruins. There are 15km long beaches to both east and west of Rethymnon. The village of Atsipopoulo has s/markets, bakeries, tavernas, internet facilities, beautiful narrow streets, and much more.
Villa Erdyma exceeded all our expectations. It is located in very convenient position within a few minutes walk to the local village with its shops and tavernas (try "Manilo's", what a lovely authentic Greek taverna, the food was excellent) and a 5 minutes drive to Rhethymnon, a beautiful Cretan town. The villa itself is spotlessly clean, has beautiful, well kept gardens, a refreshing swimming pool and magnificent views from the roof top terrace of the surrounding country side and including an amazing sunset every evening.
The communication with the owners was very easy. Katerina and Aris, the house keepers, were extremely friendly and helpful. We had three Cretan meals cooked by them!
We highly recommend this villa and certainly try to go back there in the very near future.
Doris and Chris P.
Lovely villa, beautiful garden, spotlessly clean, very welcoming villa managers. Very peaceful and private location, yet within walking distance (10 mins) of supermarkets and a few traditional tavernas. A short drive or taxi ride to the buzz of Rithymnon. Everything we needed for a restful holiday! Book this villa and you won't be disappointed.
We spent a fantastic two weeks at the villa. It really is a gem; and even better than it looks online. Our children (8 and 12) made many happy memories playing in the spotlessly clean pool from dawn 'til dusk and there is plenty to keep them occupied around the island of Crete. We spent many days snorkelling, diving from rocks and generally having a great time.
Robert's amazing organisational skills and the information that he provided made our plans much easier, and the Cretan family that keep the villa in an immaculate state (Katerina and Yanis) could not have been more helpful. They went beyond the call of duty to help; nothing was too much trouble.
We would not hesitate to recommend the villa to anyone looking for fun, privacy and a very warm welcome.
Thank you Robert and Wendy!
All 4 of us loved the house. Comfortable sitting area inside, soft and comfortable beds, quiet aircondition, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful garden, comfy sunbeds and outdoor sittingarea. Our 2 boys learned to swim in Robert and Wendys clean and warm swimmingpool. Not a touristy area, very quiet and secluded. We would certainly recomend this to friends and family, and we will certainly return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We've just arrived home from a glorious 2 weeks stay at Villa Erdyma, Rethymnon. It's is a perfect villa for a relaxing stay off the beaten track of the usual tourist circuit. A car is essential to get about and explore this beautiful island. The facilities in the villa are perfect from the stunning pool (attended to early mornings by local, Yanni) which was so welcome after the day's heat, to the barbecue, sun beds and all the indoor equipment. Nothing has been forgotten when catering for guests. The villa was cleaned mid stay by Yanni's wife, Katerina, who also provided clean sheets and towels. The local noises - cicadas, goats, chickens, dogs and the locals - would usually have annoyed me at home but I loved waking up to the cacophony of them all and now home, it's just too quiet! We have managed to pack into our two weeks the usual tourist attractions in the local area and beyond plus spent some relaxing times on beautiful beaches and in Rethymnon old town, which itself is stunning. There are thousands of eateries to choose from with a choice of traditional Cretan cuisine to pizzas and pastas. Parking is also relatively easy in the town. The road to Palm Beach near Prevali Monestary was particularly challenging! Only try it if you have a decent vehicle and a bag of nerves! Stunning views however. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and have done so already to family and friends. It is perfect for a family with older children (the pool is deep for small children) and secluded enough to never be overlooked by passing locals. Communication from the English owner was first class. I was telephoned by him within an hour of making my enquiry where I was given information about the area and confirmation of booking dates. He was also extremely helpful when looking for hire car companies (we used Firefly, part of Hertz which was hassle free). He sent the key beforehand with details of how to get to the villa and maps with local information. There is also an extensive folder of information at the villa. All in all we have had a superb relaxing holiday in a beautiful country and gorgeous villa. We come home with batteries fully charged. Thank you so much Bob and Wendy.
Over the years we have booked many villas from the internet in different countries and many do not live up to either the descriptions given or a number of the reviews.
The villa Erdyma is one that not only lives up to expectation, it exceeds it.
It's location is perfect, private but not isolated. The village supermarket is a five minute walk and it takes about 20 minutes by car to be sitting in one of the very many restaurants in the picturesque venetian harbour town of Rethymno.
The Villa is well laid out and has shaded areas for outdoor eating and a panoramic roof terrace. The pool is exceptional, kept in perfect condition and is much bigger than it appears in the photographs.
The British owner is very helpful in giving lots of detailed information.
In summary Erdyma is a villa that we would definitely recommend.

A Middletown man was fatally injured in a two-vehicle crash Thursday in Londonderry Township, according to state police in Harrisburg.
Grant J. Hostetter, 45, for unknown reasons lost control of a 1999 Peterbilt while traveling east on East Harrisburg Pike, just west of Cedar Avenue, at around 12:15 p.m., police said.
The truck overturned onto the passenger side across both lanes of travel, with the front in the westbound lane, and was struck by a 2006 Volvo driven by 47-year-old Jeffrey Lehman of Pillow, police said.
Hostetter died at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
Lehman was treated at the hospital for injuries he sustained in the crash.
East Harrisburg Pike, also known as Route 230, was closed for about four hours.
Police said the crash is still under investigation, and drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor.
