There may be little worthwhile on television, but soon you'll be able to watch it at home in 3D – without the funny glasses.
The advent of Nintendo's 3D TV sets this autumn is one of the topics up for discussion at the UK's first all-purpose 3D conference next month at the National Media Museum.
This get-together of people working in film, television, games and interactive media follows the box office success of 3D feature films such as Avatar and Toy Story 3 at the museum.
Screen Yorkshire, the regional agency that promotes film, and NorthernNet, a digital design company, supported by the NMM, Bradford City of Film, Game Republic, the trade association for the games sector in Yorkshire and Humber and Edge Magazine, are hosting the two-day event on October 21 and 22.
There's nothing new about 3D as such. Stereoscopy, as it's called, has been around since 1838. The Lumiere brothers in France made a silent picture in 3D in 1903. Since then, more than 250 films and TV programmes have been produced.
The golden age of 3D is attributed to the decade between 1950 and 1960, with 3D versions of movies such as Alfred Hitchcock's thriller Dial M For Murder and Honcho, starring John Wayne.
Poor viewing facilities in cinemas reportedly led to the decline of 3D. Its current resurgence is put down to the development of 3D IMAX technology, computer animation, digital cameras and 3D home theatre.
But is this resurgence, and the specialist technical lingo that goes with it, just a novelty driven by unexpected box office returns? Emma Cheshire, head of industry development at Screen Yorkshire, said: "The 3D trend is not a fad – it's here to stay and it is revolutionising the way content is produced across all screen media platforms.
"Whether you're working in film, television, games or interactive media, either within a business or as a freelancer or student, you need to find out about these game-changing technologies and developments if you want to play a part in the screen media industries of the future."
But not everyone is easily impressed by three dimensional films. Bradford-born artist David Hockney, probably in the vanguard of new technology applications to the making of electronic paintings, walked out of Avatar after about 40 minutes, finding the film's images "uninteresting".
Simon Barrett is the director of 4 Door Lemon, the Bradford company that specialises in electronic games.
He said: "For games, 3D could be very interesting, if it's done right, being able to examine the depth and inside of objects.
"It might not be the biggest step, but with all new technologies there tend to be other applications which can be useful. The health service has started using 3D panels for CAT scans. It's very expensive.
"Nintendo's 3DS (dual screen) consoles don't require glasses to use them. There are some 3D televisions like that as well.
"If the manufacturers get together and agree the format, as they appear to be doing, eventually you won't be able to buy a TV screen that isn't 3D."
Whether 3D television is worth watching depends on the people who decide the content of programmes, he added.
But for those who either are or like to be thought of as at the cutting edge of new developments, the two-day conference in Bradford, described as "ambitious", offers the opportunity of taking stock of what's been happening, seemingly rapidly, over the past few years.
One of the speakers is Angus Cameron, co-founder of 3D specialists Vision3.
He said: "Ongoing advances in technology have not only created incredibly exciting creative possibilities for those of us in the industry, they have also made 3D content widely accessible for the first time.
"From cinema screens to the 3D laptops that are just now coming to the market, 3D has wider reach than ever before and the general public's appetite shows no sign of waning."

The Don Bolles case continues to be a political tar baby for anyone who gets close to it. The latest Brer Rabbit is new Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods.
One of Woods' first acts as successor to Bob Corbin was to fire Judson Roberts, an assistant attorney general who was co-prosecuting the resurrected case.
Don Bolles was a 47-year-old reporter for the Arizona Republic. He died in June 1976 from injuries sustained in a car-bomb explosion.
Roberts learned of his termination nine days ago as he listened to his car radio. The manner of his firing, not the firing itself, surprised him. "People on the defense side threatened us that some or all of us would be dismissed on Grant's first day in office," Roberts tells New Times. "Then it happened. I hope this isn't the first step in sweeping this case under the rug."
Some close to the Bolles case say Roberts' firing is a blow to the prosecution because of his excellent working knowledge of the alleged murder conspiracy's tricky facts. Others, such as Phoenix defense attorney Larry Debus--a staunch Woods supporter--applaud Roberts' dismissal.
"That case was not going to be won by Jud Roberts as a prosecutor," says Debus, who worked on Bolles co-defendant Max Dunlap's successful appeal for a new trial in the late 1970s. "Jud is a lousy lawyer, and he's miserable to deal with. If this case is to be won, you'd have to get Roberts off of it. It was a brilliant move by Grant."
Woods' inaugural strike is just the latest chapter in Arizona's own criminal-justice briar patch. Why did he pull the plug on Jud Roberts? Wasn't Roberts doing the job?
Woods tells New Times that his decision to fire Roberts has "nothing to do with politics whatsoever." He adds that he "would never take a step that would hinder our ability to effectively prosecute the case."
Woods points out that co-prosecutor Warren Granville and former State Representative George Weisz, who heads the murder investigation, still have their jobs.
Several sources tell New Times that defense lawyers despised Roberts. By most accounts, Roberts drives an insufferably hard bargain in a world where greasing the judicial wheels is as important as the just disposition of a case. Roberts, one associate admits, is "not a people person, to put it mildly." And that's from an admirer.
Roberts' brusque, occasionally sarcastic manner and his inability to bend have long rubbed his legal adversaries the wrong way. Unlike some of his former peers at the Attorney General's Office, however, Roberts is reputed to be thorough, if tunnel-visioned, to a fault.
Some say Woods jettisoned Roberts as a painful political payback to Bob Corbin. Corbin announced last year he wasn't running for re-election as attorney general. As a courtesy, Woods later phoned Corbin to tell him he was going to announce his candidacy for the powerful slot. That set up a September primary battle between Woods and Corbin's top assistant Steve Twist.
On the day of Woods' announcement, Corbin called a press conference to reveal that a grand jury would be investigating the Bolles case. Not surprisingly, the grand-jury bombshell pushed the Woods story to the back pages of the dailies.
Like impish schoolboys, Corbin and Twist swore it was all a big coincidence. Right. Then Woods beat Twist in the primary. Paybacks, several sources agree, are a bitch.
Roberts says he doesn't know for sure if the reasons for his abrupt firing go deeper than personal animus. No one, he says, has told him one way or the other. But he has ideas. He lists several possible factors, including the tight relationship between Woods and several members of Phoenix's defense bar--most prominently, Larry Debus and former Maricopa County Superior Court Judge David Derickson.
"Derickson was extremely pissed that we mentioned him in the recent complaint against Max Dunlap and Jimmy Robison," Roberts says. "I'm not saying that he asked Grant to let me go, but study the complaint and you can draw your own conclusions."
Woods finds Roberts' version of events ludicrous, saying that Derickson and Debus made no attempt to sway him in his decision to fire Roberts.
The Attorney General's Office on December 19 filed the "complaint" against Dunlap and Robison. It accuses Dunlap of first-degree murder and both men of conspiring to obstruct an investigation, of influencing a witness, and of bribery. (Robison was charged with murdering Bolles last year in a separate complaint.)
Part of the complaint alleges Dunlap handed over $15,000 in cash to his lawyer, John Savoy, over a two-year period from May 1977 to September 1979. (Savoy has been charged with several felonies for allegedly lying to the Bolles grand jury.) Savoy in turn gave the cash to Derickson--Robison's lawyer at the time--and Derickson turned it over to Robison's longtime live-in girlfriend Bette Gleason.
Prosecutors allege Dunlap funneled the money to Robison's girlfriend to try to ensure Robison's silence. It remains unclear, however, exactly how Robison could hurt Dunlap.
(Investigators last year confiscated from Robison diaries he had compiled in prison over several years. Prosecutors have made very little public from the journals. A March 1980 entry excerpted in the recent complaint says: "They are trying to divide us so it will look like Max will go free, then they can get me to plea-bargain. I see that as the only solid chance they have to convict Max. It will never happen, but they do not know that.")
Derickson tells New Times that the Attorney General's Office has accurately portrayed his role in the Dunlap-to-Bette Gleason payoffs. But, he insists, "I never looked at this as anything improper. Bette was having a hell of a time making it day-by-day after Jimmy got arrested, and I looked at this as an act of charity by Max. Max was under the impression that he was going to be acquitted in a short period of time and that this was a temporary situation."
Derickson admits he "was not too pleased" at seeing his name in the recent complaint against Dunlap and Robison. But, he adds, "I didn't get Jud Roberts canned. I had some input with Grant into who I thought would be good in his administration, but not on the trial level. My feeling about Jud was that he was overzealous. Now, I'll also say that he is irresponsible as well."
Former Phoenix street con Adamson is expected to testify again that Phoenix contractor Dunlap hired him to kill reporter Bolles, former adman Al "King Alfonso" Lisanetz, and then-Attorney General Bruce Babbitt. The alleged motive, according to the prosecution's venerable theory?
Kemper Marley, Dunlap's business and personal mentor, was furious at the trio for various reasons and, explicitly or implicitly, wanted them dead. His longtime partner-in-crime Jimmy Robison, Adamson testified, had used a remote-control device to trigger the dynamite bomb Adamson had placed under Bolles' car. The late Marley never was charged in the case.
Dunlap and Robison were convicted in 1978 of murdering Bolles. Sent to death row, they gained a reprieve only after the Arizona Supreme Court reversed the convictions on a technicality. A remarkable series of legal machinations, screw-ups and politics kept them from being charged again until recently.
Jud Roberts says the new information about Dunlap's alleged payoffs became known to the Attorney General's Office last year. Investigators executed search warrants at several locations, including searches of onetime Dunlap attorney Savoy's office, Dunlap's home and Robison's cell at Florence.
If it isn't smoking-gun material, it does bolster the prosecution's case. It also suggests the Attorney General's Office hasn't been content to rely strictly on tired old evidence to retry a tired old case.
According to the complaint, Dunlap's first cash payment of $1,500 to Robison's girlfriend occurred in May 1977, a few months before the pair went to trial. The payments continued at a steady rate of $500 per month after the men were convicted and sent to death row. The complaint alleges the payments stopped in September 1979, five months before the Arizona Supreme Court reversed the convictions on technical grounds.
Dunlap and Robison have always contended they never knew each other until Phoenix police arrested them in January 1977 for murdering Don Bolles. In the months that followed their arrests, Phoenix street thug Adamson sang to investigators in return for a plea bargain. Adamson then testified against Dunlap and Robison to save his own skin.
Why would any reasonable person give money to the girlfriend of an accused hit man, especially when that hit man, Robison, is your co-defendant? Former Robison attorney Dave Derickson calls it "an act of kindness and generosity" on Dunlap's part. Prosecutors call it bribery.
Adamson has testified Dunlap told him soon after the Bolles bombing to keep quiet and his family would be compensated. Dunlap has vehemently denied this. Phoenix police arrested Adamson hours after Don Bolles succumbed to his wounds June 13, 1976. He's been in custody ever since.
(Though his injuries proved fatal, Bolles had been able to tell passers-by Adamson's name, knowing Adamson had lured him to a midtown Phoenix hotel with the phony promise of an investigative scoop. Adamson told New Times in 1986 he gave Bolles his real name, certain the reporter would die in the blast. But Bolles survived for eleven days.)
The recent complaint also alleges Dunlap indirectly showered Robison with presents through the 1980s. Investigators confiscated paperwork from Dunlap that allegedly shows 54 checks totaling about $5,000 written by Dunlap between June 1982 and September 1989 for gifts destined for Robison. This doesn't include 65 other presents--most of them tools and materials for Robison's prison wood shop.
Dunlap's gifts to the imprisoned Robison may be more easily explained by defense lawyers than the $15,000 that went in the late 1970s to Robison's girlfriend. Look at it for a moment as a defense lawyer: Dunlap has been out of prison since charges against the pair were dismissed--temporarily, as it turns out--in 1980. But Robison has remained incarcerated since 1977 for his role in the savage beating of a Scottsdale talent agent.
Dunlap and Robison, now in their sixties, have become friends during their legal ordeal. What, defense lawyers will argue, is the big deal about Max buying Jimmy a pair of new shoes, an electric sander, a color television, a watch, an electric razor, clothing, a tennis racket, whatever?
In sworn testimony during a civil case he brought against the Phoenix Police Department, Dunlap responded this way to a question about what he had sent to Robison over the years: "Wood to carve, model airplane . . . I think we sent him Christmastime, sent him a warm-up suit, a jogging suit, something like that. I think I sent him $50 maybe a couple [of times]."
Dunlap's best bet at his upcoming retrial may be to take the same approach he did the first time when trying to explain his delivery of almost $6,000 to John Adamson shortly after the Bolles bombing. The "money drop," as it came to be known, led mightily to Dunlap's conviction, according to jurors. They said they didn't buy Dunlap's story that a mysterious stranger had come to his home June 10, 1976, and had asked him to deliver the money to Adamson as a favor for a mutual pal.
Given his varying versions of crucial events, the bumbling Dunlap has long been one of the state's best weapons. But the upcoming prosecution has a ton of weaknesses too, not the least of which is former Attorney General Bob Corbin: There aren't many cases around where the chief prosecutor publicly has derided his one essential witness as unreliable. Then, after a decade, he one day proclaims that witness--John Harvey Adamson--rehabilitated. Defense attorneys could have a field day with Corbin at trial.
One can hear the questions: "Isn't it true, Mr. Corbin, that you told New Times in June 1986 that `John Adamson's credibility is shot?'"
Jud Roberts--who already has taken a job as a prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office--says he was confident that Corbin's numerous public tirades against Adamson will not present a problem at trial.
"This case isn't a slam-dunk conviction," says Roberts, making an early bid for 1991's biggest judicial understatement. "But I'll tell you that we, I guess I mean they, have an enormous amount of evidence developed that hasn't seen the light of day yet. I don't think Bob Corbin's testimony will be a problem, and John Adamson's testimony has never been disproven. It just remains to be seen just what Mr. Woods has in store for this case."
Woods says he doesn't plan to try Dunlap and Robison himself "unless I change my mind." In any event, he promises to "drive the case personally."
Use these pullquotes, too.

Riverton rallies past Douglas in final inningJun 9, 2013 By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
The Rawlins Generals scored four times in the top of the sixth inning to edge the Riverton Raiders 5-2 in the opener of the Roy Peck Memorial Wood Bat Tournament.
Rawlins had swept the Raiders in a doubleheader 12-5 and 19-6 Wednesday night in Riverton.
The games in the tournament are at Roy Peck Field. There is a two-hour time limit in the games, except for the championship contest.
Riverton turned things around and beat Douglas 9-8 in the final game of the day Saturday to remain in the hunt for a spot in the title game. Riverton scored four runs in the sixth inning to get back in the game. Ryan Axthelm and Devin Matsen both pitched in the victory. Josiah Washington paced the Raiders with three hits. The win was the first one on the home diamond of the season.
"This morning, I thought that we played much better than we did this past Wednesday," Riverton manager Brady Beers said. "We had two or three errors that really killed us in the first game. We hit the ball a lot. We just hit it right at people. We didn't sit back at the plate. That is something that we have to work on."
Green River slipped by Douglas 6-3 in eight innings in the second game of the tournament.
"Wood bats are just fun," Beers said. "With the way metal bats are now, wood bats don't really make a difference on the game. They have downgraded metal bats so far now the wood bats don't make a negative impact on how a ball can travel or how you hit a ball."
Riverton plays at 10:30 a.m. Sunday vs. Green River. The top two teams advance to play in the title game at 3:30 p.m. The third-place game is at 1 p.m.
Rawlins 5, Riverton 2
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Riverton knotted the game up at 1-1 when Brayden Draper was hit by a pitch.
With the bases loaded, Steven Reinig hit a bullet to center field only to see Cody Palmer make a diving catch to end the inning and keep the contest tied.
"That was kind of a disappointing play," Beers said. "I wasn't really expecting that guy to come in and catch the ball. It was a good hit by Steven, but the guy was just in the right spot at the right time."
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Ryan Axthelm reached base with an infield single. Baylor Beers ripped a two-run double to the fence for a 2-1 lead.
Rawlins took the lead for good in the top of the sixth on a couple of errors by Riverton's defense. The Generals crossed home plate four times against Beers.
The right-hander threw more than 100 pitches in the three-run loss. He was lifted for Devin Matsen in the top of the seventh inning.
In the final at-bat for the Raiders, Rawlins recorded the first two outs.
Down to the final out, Josiah Washington singled to keep the game alive, and Sam Plush walked.
Rawlins changed pitchers, with Cody Palmer coming in to get the final out on a ground out.

Somewhere Trouble Don't Go
Remember how Noise was bitching and moaning last week about the lack of solid front-to-back albums released in 2009? Add the following 15 records to the haystack-size pile of reasons we thank our lucky stars every day that we live in Texas.
Born Liars, Ragged Island: This Houston quartet's songs combine the streetwise switchblade blues of Exile on Main Street-era Stones with some of the Replacements' boozy entropic tendencies, and their live shows usually result in bloodshed, bail bonds or both. Luckily, they released this vinyl-only LP back in March for those of us who sometimes have a little trouble remembering.
Nick Gaitan & The Umbrella Man, Nick Gaitan & The Umbrella Man: When he's not thumping for honky-tonk icon Billy Joe Shaver or local rockabilly gasses the Octanes, Nick Gaitan leads The Umbrella Man, whose self-titled debut is a walking-bass Gulf Coast tour of zydeco, conjunto, swamp pop, country-soul and even dub. Features Gaitan's ode to his (and Noise's) beloved home "The Island" at 3700 Main, "I've Found My Weakness in You" — twice — but no discernible weaknesses.
Best Texas albums 2009
Robert Glasper, Double Booked: Only Nick Gaitan may have more trouble balancing his datebook than this Missouri City-born, NYC-based pianist, who had quite a homecoming as leader of Maxwell's super-suave touring band in October. Whether nimble piano-trio jazz or gritty downtown neo-soul (featuring Mos Def and Bilal), Double Booked leaves little doubt why Glasper is in such demand — we're just glad we don't have to pay his BlackBerry bill.

The Gourds, Haymaker!: A decade and a half after they crawled out of the swamp, the Gourds are still born to boogie. They're still South Austin to the bone — something they capture to great effect on the hilarious "Tex-Mex Mile" — but from "Shreveport" all the way to Jericho, the Gourds channel the Band and cover R. Kelly like none other. May they never shave.
Heartless Bastards, The Mountain: Every mountain worth its geological designation as such has a corresponding network of caves deep within, and the caves of these Austin transplants' rootsy Mountain are front woman Erika Wennerstrom's doubts and insecurities. As the other three Bastards alternately whisper and roar behind her, Wennerstrom is never less than forthright as she proves she's more than a match for her own anxieties and anything else the big, bad world wants to throw at her.
Robert Earl Keen, The Rose Hotel: That road that goes on forever for the fiftysomething Aggie just seems to lead to better and better songs. His sense of humor is looser ("10,000 Chinese Walk Into a Bar," "Wireless in Heaven"), his painter's eye for landscapes is sharper ("Laughing River"), and on the title cut, "On and On," and "The Village Inn," the former journalism student is just downright literary.
Miranda Lambert, Revolution: This Tyler spitfire looks like an angel, but she's been sleeping in the devil's bed, or so she tells us on a down-and-dirty cover of Julie Miller's "Somewhere Trouble Don't Go." The odd radio-friendly single aside ("Dead Flowers"), Revolution is a whiskey-shooting, shotgun-toting kick in mainstream country's crotch that every so often pauses to play nice ("Only Prettier").
Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, Tell 'Em What Your Name Is!: Look out! Aided by Booker T. Jr. — oops, that's actually ex-Houstonian Ian Varley on keyboards — Austin shouter Black Joe Lewis summons the spirits of James Brown, Sam & Dave and Joe Tex as he sweats out 40 years of R&B history in just over half an hour. The only thing he didn't do was recruit Archie Bell for a remake of "I Just Can't Stop Dancing," but maybe he's saving that for the sequel.
Peekaboo Theory, Sy~3nc3-&-Pr[]gr@m5: The siliconized Houston Afro-rockers' full-length debut doesn't paint a pretty picture of the future — it's stark and unsettling, with an unshakable groove...like Funkadelic, Aphex Twin and Radiohead had a three-headed, three-eyed baby. An album bands from Houston — and everywhere else — will still be catching up to at the turn of the next decade.
Phosphorescent, To Willie: A record by an Athens, Georgia, native now residing in Brooklyn would normally have no business on a Texas-albums list, save for one minor detail. Patterning To Willie after Willie Nelson's 1977 Lefty Frizzell tribute To Lefty From Willie, Matthew Houck covers 11 of Nelson's (undeservedly) lesser-known songs — "Reasons to Quit," "Too Sick to Pray," "Pick Up the Tempo" — with understatement and grace. In the process, he's made a better Willie Nelson album than the Red-Headed Stranger's own half-dozen or so 2009 releases.
Spain Coloured Orange, Sneaky Like a Villain: Spooky psychedelic pop spurred by Eric Jackson's trumpet and Gilbert Alfaro's electric keys, the local five-piece have the best lasers this side of the Houston Museum of Natural Science's "Laser Floyd" in their live show. But with an album like Villain, they're not even necessary.
George Strait, Twang: One thing you really don't expect from a new George Strait album at this point — his 30th, not counting greatest-hits and such — is to be surprised. You do expect steely two-steppers like the title track and heart-melting ballads such as "He's Got That Something Special"; rest assured, the Grammy-nominated Twang has plenty. Then he closes out with a mariachi-fied cover of traditional ranchera "El Rey" (sung in flawless Spanish) and your jaw is left open like a rodeo chute. If King George's status as the Sinatra of South Texas wasn't secure before, it is now.
Various Artists, Keep Your Soul: A Tribute to Doug Sahm: It's hard to believe it's been a decade since Sir Doug passed away, but the son of San Antonio still hasn't gone anywhere. This compilation rallies everyone from peers (Delbert McClinton, Terry Allen), family members (sons Shawn and Shandon), former bandmates (Flaco Jimenez, Augie Meyers) and admirers (Los Lobos, The Gourds) for this trip back to groover's paradise. Choice cuts include L.A. garage-rock vato Little Willie G's raspy "She's About a Mover," Dave Alvin's explosive "Dynamite Woman" and Alejandro Escovedo little-heard Sahm co-write "Too Little Too Late." Keep Your Soul, meanwhile, is neither.
Little Joe Washington, Texas Fire Line: Whether you've seen him 100 times or only once, it's always amazing that Little Joe Washington can make such a big sound come out of such a small frame. Texas Fire Line expertly translates the bluesman's live dynamism — if you haven't been to Tuesdays at Boondocks yet, what the hell are you waiting for? — onto disc, setting up the softer side he reveals on Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" to get blown away by the guitar maelstroms of "I'll Go Crazy" and "Ike."
Young Mammals, Carrots: Loaded with wide-eyed wonder and psychedelic whimsy, the Houston indie-rockers' long-awaited debut full-length didn't disappoint. In fact, it probably could have been a little bit longer. Poppy but rocking, its ten songs only grew more impressive the bigger the stage, which the Mammals proved with a command performance at Free Press Houston's August Summerfest.

East Asia is in reconstruction
By Yang Danzhi, China Daily/Asia News Network Sunday, October 31, 2010, 9:42 pm TWN
BEIJING -- The established equilibrium and political order in East Asia are undergoing delicate changes at a time when the world is sill struggling to recover from the effects of the global financial crisis and its ensuing repercussions.
Such changes stem from strategic adjustments in the East Asia policy of the United States. As the world's dominant power, the U.S. has long been the most important external factor affecting East Asia's political and economic landscape.
Washington's attitude toward East Asian cooperation has always been consistent. It will remain as an observer if the cooperation process does not pose a threat to what it views as its own vested interests in the region. However, once cooperative momentum is considered a challenge to its national interests, the U.S. will intervene and stop the process. This was clearly embodied in Washington's efforts to suffocate the East Asia Economic Sphere concept proposed by Malaysia and the East Asian Monetary Fund advocated by Japan in the 1990s.
East Asian cooperation has made substantial progress and entered a crucial stage since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 diverted the focus and resources of the U.S. to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. What the U.S. currently cares about most in the region is getting a share of the dividend created by the accelerated integration in East Asia, and at the same time, guarding against a possible challenge by some emerging regional powers to U.S. dominance.
The strength of the U.S. has been weakened by the global financial crisis and it will gradually retreat from its over-stretched strategic deployment worldwide. But in East Asia, the U.S. has quietly but noticeably launched a new round of strategic offensives.
By signing the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation with Southeast Asian countries, the U.S. has actively involved itself in a series of forums spearheaded by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Mekong River Commission conferences. Washington has also staged a string of bilateral and multilateral military exercises with some East Asian allies in a bid to strengthen already-established alliances. Washington has also shown great enthusiasm toward participating in East Asian cooperation in a wider and deeper manner.

After drawing huge flak for staying away from media, sexy seductress Kajal Agarwal has finally opened up her mouth to clear the doubts that are surrounding her exit from Superstar's movie.
A couple of media houses have quoted that as Kajal Agarwal is unable to dance perfectly aside Superstar Mahesh, she is sent out of that flick. Rubbishing those reports as rumours, Kajal says that she has nothing to prove with her dance, but the issue is about dates.
Speaking in an interview she said, I recently read an article on how I was dropped from a film because I couldn't dance! It was so ridiculous that I decided to shut up about it. Let people say what they want to. It's such a waste of time," she says.

eBay Pulse. The free eBay Pulse page analyzes eBay member searches and compiles the data to give you an idea of what's hot at eBay. (You can find it on the left navigation bar on the eBay home page.) eBay Pulse also shows you the most-watched items. By clicking on the drop-down menu (shown below), you can pick a category and see what's hot in that category.
Example: eBay pulse
Popular keywords. Another way to analyze searching behavior is to check out the Popular keywords feature, where you can see what keyword terms eBay buyers are using to search for items. Of particular interest are the Top Category keywords.
Here, you can click on any of the categories on the left side of the page to find out what buyers are searching for in particular categories. For example, if you clicked on the China & Dinnerware subcategory of Pottery & Glass, you might see a screen like the one shown below. That would let you know what styles (art deco, chintz), what items (cookie jars, teapots), and what brands (Red Wing, Roseville, Wedgewood) are desired by buyers. You can click any of the keywords to see the items currently offered for sale to give you an idea of the bidding activity. You can also make a "Completed Listings Only" search using the same keyword to see what percentage of items sell and at what prices.
Popular Products page. eBay also maintains a Popular Products page. Check that out if you'd like to see the top ten selling items in various categories selected by eBay.
Other eBay sellers. You're unlikely to get merchandise leads from eBay sellers. eBay members are willing to share lots of information — you may get advice about fraudulent drop-shippers or bad manufacturers or distributors — but don't expect to get tips about where to buy merchandise.

Welcome to the starting of the "yellow brick road" for 1911's and the forum.
The RIA is an excellent pistol, I currently own a RIA 1911 9mm Tactical and it is great. The STI frame is actually made by RIA so it could be argued they are the same pistol. It is true STI have the frames shipped to them and they finish them. So, is STI and RIA the same pistol other than "human hands" finishing it?
As to the Springfield, I owned a Springfield Mil-Spec and it was fine. No problems with anything other than the trigger out of the box; it was terrible. I was able to do a trigger job on it and after that it was better but off it went. I don't miss it.
That only leaves the Para and that one I cannot comment on because I have not owned one.
Ahh the Ruger SR1911. This is the one from your list I would recommend. Why? First off it is American made! It has every option I think should be on a 1911 and NO more; Combat Trigger, Combat hammer, Beavertail safety, NO front slide serrations, SS finish, Novak adjustable rear sights, nice grips and a nice trigger out of the box. Not too mention the company of Ruger standing behind it. And all for well within the price range you are wanting to spend. There is a reason these are difficult to find and the others are not.
Good Luck - I hope this helped.
If something is worth doing well, it is worth failing at to get there.

I had my lip pierced about two years ago. The woman who pierced it, actually pierced my bottom lip line. I now have a small white bump on my lip from what I'm assuming scar tissue. I'm really self conscious about it since it's on my lip, its not very noticeable to people, but I notice it.
Some days its more noticeable then others, I understand there is no way to get the scar to go away completely, I just want the bump to go away or be smoothed out, would going to a dermatologist be my best bet?

The St. Petersburg City Council is expected to take up the issue of picking the five-year manager of the city's Mahaffey Theater, which has struggled to remain competitive with other similarly sized venues. The city is considering Ruth Eckerd Hall, Big 3 Entertainment and the Mahaffey's current operators, SMG. Mayor Bill Foster has recommended Big 3 Entertainment, which is owned by Bill Edwards, who also is associated with the Club at Treasure Island. The council has not indicated which way it will vote and could postpone the issue in favor of doing more research. The council meeting starts at 8:30 a.m.
You might be able to get a first glimpse of the movie trailer for Dolphin Tale, filmed in Clearwater about Winter the dolphin. According to the movie's official Facebook page, it's scheduled to be shown on Entertainment Tonight, which airs at 7 p.m. on WFLA-TV Ch. 8. The schedule is subject to change. You can also look for the movie trailer premiere on the Yahoo Kids website, kids.yahoo.com.
The Kona Grille in Tampa will host an unusual fundraiser called the "Wild" Party. The cause isn't odd — the 1Voice kids cancer charity — but one of the attractions is a live tiger. We're pretty sure it will be caged, so don't go having visions of that scene in The Hangover. It starts at 6 p.m.
The Blues Fest in St. Petersburg isn't until Friday, but a new craft beer bar downtown gets things started early with an appearance by the Damon Fowler Group for free in the courtyard. The Ale and the Witch will also feature a new St. Petersburg-based beer choice called St. Pete Brew.
It has been called the frozen yogurt shop that launched a thousand parking tickets in L.A., thanks to celebs who seemingly can't get enough of it. Now Pinkberry is opening a shop near the P.F. Chang's in WestShore Plaza and is giving away samples starting at 6 p.m.

I'm a fan of Tasha CobbsCute Tea Cups alt="" width="200″ height="200″ />. I think she's a next-generation leader in our industry. I'm eager to hear her newest project, though I'm still rocking to songs like "Happy" and "Smile," as if they just came out.
Her new single, "Break Every Chain," is another great tune for the Body of Christ. It's a
powerful chanting declaration sure to empower believers across the world.
I've added to the Pundit Player, so if you haven't heard it, make sure you check it out here.
The full album from Tasha Cobbs, titled Grace, hits stores on February 5, 2013!

By Richard von Busack
After concluding an exceptionally busy year, the Irish/German actor Michael Fassbender is sure to be short-listed for the Oscar nominations for his role as the sex addict Brandon in Shame.
The poster, showing tangled bedsheets—literal dirty laundry—indicates the film's open address of an uneasy subject.
Whatever problems Shame has, they're not due to Fassbender, whose talent for both intricate details and larger than life emotions have made his name as one of the most exciting actors alive. He's been excellent in adaptations of everything from Marvel Comics to Charlotte Bronte. (Rumors are he will play one of the ultimate antiheroes, the eminent Victorian hero and scoundrel Harry Flashman; it's hard to imagine better casting.)
Metro: The Hollywood Reporter described Shame as "gruesome," a word that might have been more useful to describe a Tom Six movie.
Fassbender: Some think that violence is more of a natural phenomenon. Certainly, it's more easily sold.
Metro: How did you meet director Steve McQueen?
Fassbender: I give Gary Davy full credit. He's a casting director in London. He felt very passionate about me being involved. He set up a meeting between myself and Steve.
I think I left a lasting impression on Steve, for all the wrong reasons. I think Steve didn't like me much: I think he found me cocky, and maybe in a way defensive. I guess I probably was. As an actor, you go in for auditions; either you get them and off you go, or you don't. I spent a lot of time not getting them, and getting a lot of rejection. The second time we met, I had something to show him, a scene from Hunger—he offered me the role after that.
Metro: How did McQueen describe Shame?
Fassbender: He basically said I've got this guy…the story is sort of about addiction and a guy trying to find intimacy and connection. And he's a sexual addict. And on this journey that he takes, we follow him through this sexual addiction.
Metro: Considering the places Brandon was going to go, weren't you nervous about the role?
Fassbender: I've so much faith and trust in Steve. My fear is that I couldn't give him what he needs. That was sort of my main concerns. And of course, ooh, I'm going to be doing some hairy stuff. I knew I was in the right hands, and so I know it not going to be exploitative…I'm talking about the sex scenes, which are there as an insight to the character and which are not meant as any sort of titillation.
Metro: How specific is Shame to New York City? And have you spent much time there?
Fassbender: I've always loved NY and I actually would like to live there for a spell. I love the energy there and love the people. I think that New York energy goes definitely hand in hand with what happens to Brandon. It was important to place this character in a city where he had access to excess, 24/7. He's someone imprisoned by his physicality and his addiction. And New York is, in a way, an enabler.
Metro: Do you have an opinion on whether or not Cissy above> and her brother Brandon had once been incestuous lovers?
Fassbender: I do have my own backstory and my own idea of that—it's something, obviously, that Steve, Carey Mulligan, and I discussed. But even in that triangle, we all had our own individual details and backstories.
It doesn't matter what they were, these details; people are intelligent and they have their own lives, which they bring into the theater. The important thing to give them the familiarity, so they can identify with and participate with the characters. We leave the blanks for the audience to fill in. That's something much more interesting than anything we can explain.
Metro: Are there any particular clues we should be looking for?
Fassbender: Not really.
Metro: You were a Catholic altar boy once; did the nature of your scenes in Shame give you any religious pangs?
Fassbender: No. Again, I'm interested in human nature and how we exist and co-exist. We all rely on one another to connect—I don't practice any religion now, but I do feel like I'm a spiritual person, and I don't feel sex is dirty or shouldn't be kept behind closed doors. Most of us participate in it—why shouldn't we investigate our relationship with it? And our relationship as a society with sex is so unhealthy. We're not allowed to freely explore it.
Metro: John Eastman's book Retakes tells a story John Boorman directing Herbert "Cowboy" Coward in Deliverance—he played one of the two hillbillies in the money scene. After Boorman explained the action, Coward supposedly said, "That's alright, I done worse than that." Some of the viewers of Shame might feel the same way…
Fassbender: I think you're right. Reading the script, the first thing that struck me was that I can identify with a lot of things here, and I think most honest people will feel the same. I think that's what makes this film most relevant: it's not about casting aspersions or judgment on the way we live.
Metro: Reportedly your next partnership with McQueen is 12 Years a Slave, based on Solomon Northrup's true-life account of being a freeborn man kidnapped by slavers and sent to a plantation in Louisiana in the 1840s.
Fassbender: I'm very excited about it. It's a beautiful script. And that's kind of all I can say about it. Hopefully we'll be doing it next summer.
Metro: Have you seen a script yet for At Swim-Two-Birds?
Fassbender: Yes. It's a trip! I'd been aware of the book before. In 2009, I had a meeting with Brendan Gleeson, I'd been a massive fan of his since I was 16 when I first knew I wanted to act. I found him to be such a generous artist. I haven't heard anything since then…
Metro: I haven't read that particular book, but I'm a huge fan of Flann O'Brien's journalism for the Irish Times.
Fassbender: It's said he's a lot like Hunter Thompson…
Metro: The Mardyke Estate, the housing project where you acted in the film Fish Tank (above) looks fairly dangerous. Did the locals resent the movie being made about their home?
Fassbender: No, a lot of them are in the movie. I think as long as you're going in there and not patronizing them, the people were cool. I do remember walking past a high-rise flats and a nappy (diaper) came crashing down beside me, thrown from the 50th floor. There are colorful characters there. We had a blast, not once did we encounter any danger or aggression. One guy parked his car and didn't want to move but that was a petty thing.
Metro: Is it as much fun playing Rochester in Jane Eyre as it looks?
Fassbender: Did it look like fun? (Laughs) It is fun. The first thing that struck me about the character was…and I may be way off the mark, but it was in my gut: he seems quite bipolar to me. And that encompassed the journey for me: the rages, and the fun. He's such a well-written character and I had such absolute joy on that set, working with Mia and doing scenes with Judi Dench—a fantastic apprenticeship for me, that. And of course Cary Fukunaga is what he is: a very talented, intelligent and sensitive director who knows exactly where to place the camera.
Metro: Was it your decision to make Magneto in X-Men: First Class an avatar of the 1960s spy films?
Fassbender: Matthew Vaughn said early on that this character was supposed to hark back to 60s Bond. When I was considering the accent, I'd wondered if I should imitate Ian McKellan as a young man, with his voice and mannerisms. Matthew said that he liked an accent that was unusual and off-center, and that what was interesting about Sean Connery's Bond…I immediately got what he was about. And then I went back to the source material to the comic books. There was so much information there, it made my job so much easier.
Metro: From watching you in Shame, you strike me as an actor without fear.
Fassbender: I've got plenty of it. I have to live with it, you know, I have to not enjoy it, but enjoy the challenge it…to recognize it as a friend, not as a foe. It keeps me on my toes, and pressurizes me, and brings some element of quality to the work. It just so happens that characters with conflicts are the ones that are most interesting to explore and watch. The greater the conflicts, the more you've got something really interesting to work with.

Columbia Crackdown: Will Garcia's Suspension Cost Gamecocks in SEC Race?April 6, 2011
Columbia, SC—News out of Columbia is that Stephen Garcia is suspended indefinitely from the University of South Carolina football team. Garcia smelled of alcohol and acted inappropriatly while attending a school life skills seminar on Tuesday, a source told ESPN.
A video on ESPN.com reported that Steve Spurrier could give Garcia the final blow, but University officials who have hierarchy over him will also play a role in the decision.
Another point of interest in the video is that Garcia's talent currently edges his competitor's, Connor Shaw. However, the players on the team like to rally around the sophomore.
This is becoming a yearly tradition in Columbia, and here's what Athletic Director Eric Hyman had to say:
"Being a student-athlete at the University of South Carolina is a privilege, not a right," Athletics Director Eric Hyman said in a statement from the university. "We have expectations for our student-athletes and we make them aware that there are consequences for their actions. Stephen has exhibited behavior that is unacceptable for one of our student-athletes. Therefore, he has forfeited the privilege to participate in any football related activity until further notice."
Garcia, who is third in Gamecock football history in passing yards (6,753) and touchdowns (43), was suspended earlier this spring for a "violation of team rules," which occurred in the team's trip to Atlanta for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.
After his week suspension, the quarterback promised that no other incidents would happen in his time at the University, stating, "It was bad decision on my part down in Atlanta. Nothing bad is going to happen. This is a guarantee."
So what does this mean for the University and the football team? We will not know until further information is released by Coach Steve Spurrier to the media after practice Wednesday.
The Gamecocks will need Garcia this year, as backup Connor Shaw is struggling in spring practice.
Spurrier and Hyman will need to gather information and let the cards fall into place before a decision can be made. If the players do not trust Garcia, it may very well lead the University to cut ties with the quarterback.
This incident will cost the Gamecocks, a regular Top 10 team in the preseason polls. The question is: how long will he be suspended, and will the team still improve form last season? I say he will not play in the East Carolina game, and maybe a few games after that.
If Garcia is cut loose, the team will get behind the other quarterbacks, but they are going to need to get better quickly over the summer. Perhaps Spurrier can develop a multi-quarterback system.
Potential Wildcat formation quarterback Bruce Ellington, who transferred from the school's basketball squad, may become very important to the Gamecocks' new offensive system that must be developed for at least a few games.
Garcia's suspension may or may not cost the team in the end.
The Gamecocks are still looking forward to a great 2011 season, with or without the controversial Stephen Garcia. The first game is against East Carolina at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Spring practice wraps up on Saturday, April, 9th with the Garnet & Black Spring Game.

I didn't grow up in a Leave it to Beaver household - more Married With Children. We lived on a working class block, where we "made do" long before "repurposing" was a verb. Christmas was not lavish in our rented flat, but we had a gleaming aluminum tree with bubbler ornaments - and we had cookies.
My mother was not a perfect mother, but she could be counted on for at least one round of holiday sugar cookies. And looking back, I say, let's focus on the good. Let's focus on what made Christmas bright.
She would open the deep bottom kitchen drawer and fish around for the rarely used red plastic "Tom & Jerry" cookie cutters. Some were Lowe's movie theater giveaways; others we had acquired one-at-a-time with cereal box tops. There was Tom, whose happy cat's face made the largest cookie, then there was the face of Jerry, the mouse, then the
hillbilly bear, a standing dog, a full-body but smaller Jerry and the last and smallest cookie-cutter, a little duck with a gigantic head.
The duck's neck was so narrow, those cookies always broke no matter how carefully you tried to lift them from the baking sheet.
My mother would wash and dry the breadboard, pull down the hefty sack of Pillsbury baking flour and a bag of Hawaiian C&H sugar, and get to work with a couple of eggs bulging in the pocket of her Christmas apron.
Holiday cookies can be humble, inspired by family traditions or in honor of cultural heritage. They can be a chance to try something new and challenging. Christmas cookies, whether they are placed in a cardboard box, a vintage tin, or wrapped in a napkin are one of the main ways we signal the beginning of the holiday season.
Melt-in-your-mouth holiday cookies can be peacemakers, can build bridges, and help heal hearts.
The batch left for the widowed neighbor; the Saran Wrapped whopper with a big red bow for your terse great uncle, a plate of thumbprint Swedish spritz cookies, each with a candied cherry in the center for the boss, go a long way to remind the giver and the receiver that it takes so very little to create holiday cheer.
A sweet bite expresses our affection, respect and remembrance. Small and simple, they are enough to bridge relationships with neighbors over decades, or invite relations with newcomers. Like smiles, homemade cookies immediately transcend language and help us show others that they matter to us.
My Aunt Verna Marie, now in her nineties, always baked classic Santa face cookies. Thick and buttery, she painted the faces with food coloring to create rosy cheeks. There was even a white frosting mustache and beard and squinting eyes made with half-cut raisins. And at the tip of his cap was a large round silver sugar ball.
Her cookies were so labor intensive that by the 1970's she decided that they were strictly "one to a customer." They arrived around Dec. 15 by hand or mail, wrapped in clear plastic, and tied with red curly ribbon. There were years when the highlight of my holidays was my Aunt VM's cookie and not much else. I could never eat one until after New Years and usually displayed them on a mantel until then.
My Auntie isn't able to make her amazing cookies anymore, but they are still delivered to my heart each December. Those special cookies, as well as my mother's Tom & Jerry's, are more memorable than any Christmas present I've ever received.
And that's why it's important to heft down real flour and butter and sugar and sprinkles and put on holiday music, and do what we've always done at this time of the year; bake love.
Sugar Cookie Baking Tips
There are a million recipes for basic sugar cookies. You probably already have a family favorite, but if you go in search of a new recipe be sure it indicates that it is meant for cookie cutters, otherwise your dough will spread and you'll loose details.
And remember sugar cookie dough should be rolled out on sugar, not flour. You will also want to cut your dough in half and let one portion cool in the refrigerator while you are cutting and baking the first portion.

Time and again, Cuonzo Martin boiled down his Tennessee team's porous defense Wednesday night against visiting Ole Miss to simple pride in the task at hand.
Junior wing Jordan McRae took it a step further: he called the team's performance embarrassing in a humbling, 92-74 loss to the visiting Rebels before 17,059 fans inside Thompson-Boling Arena.
Ole Miss (12-2, 1-0) set records for free throws attempted (44) and made (38), plus outrebounded Tennessee (8-5, 0-1) by 15, 47-32, in the league opener for both squads.
"I mean honestly it's embarrassing," said McRae, who played his way into the starting lineup and led the Vols with 26 points. "At the end of the game they're laughing and having fun. It's embarrassing."
No player laughed more than the Rebels' Marshall Henderson, who nearly doubled his scoring average with a robust 32 points on 19 field-goal attempts and 14 free throws. Backcourt mate Jarvis Summers added 16 for Ole Miss, which had lost 11-straight games in Knoxville before its first win here since 1991.
Seeing the game slip away, Martin even deployed a rare 2-3 zone defense in an attempt to stifle the Rebels' offensive prowess. Though Tennessee twice trimmed its deficit to six points with more than 12 minutes left in the contest, the Rebels simply found an additional level of offensive play and rolled to the win.
"Well just really trying to get stops," Martin said. "Once again, you have to take pride in keeping the guy in front of you. So just trying something different."
Sophomore forward Jarnell Stokes said the Rebels simply were allowed too much penetration into the lane, where the visitors outscored their hosts 18-5 in the second half alone.
"We didn't keep guys out of the lane. That's pretty much what it came down to, this game and the last game," said Stokes, referencing last Friday's 85-80 home loss to rival Memphis. "Guys were able to drive and get into the paint and that's never good."
Like McRae, Stokes also termed the defeat --- the worst in Martin's first year-and-a-half --- embarrassing.
"I think that was probably one of the most embarrassing here but it's nothing big for us," Stokes, who had a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards in 32 minutes, said. "I think it's just for us at the end of the game keeping guys out of the lane. I think we can trim down taking so many threes. Other than that, we've just got to make shots and keep guys out of the lane."
Added Martin, "It comes down to the simple fact you have to guard your man, keep him in front of you and box out."
Tennessee had allowed an opponent to top 80 points in regulation just once in Martin's first 45 games at the helm but has watched Memphis and Ole Miss combine for 177 points in the Vols' last two games. Martin didn't see a lot of similarities in his team's defensive breakdowns in the back-to-back performances.
"I don't think so. In Memphis' case, transition defense and stopping the ball. In this case, containing the ball at half court," said Martin, whose Vols entered the contest ranked second in the SEC and 35th nationally in scoring defense. "Once again, you've just got to take pride in doing it."
While Stokes said he believed the Vols could win every game left on their schedule and "should win" their next couple of games, McRae said he would gladly assume a lighter scoring load to get Tennessee back on a winning track.
"I'm just trying to be more assertive on the offensive end," said McRae, whose consecutive 26-point outbursts are the most points scored by a Vol in any game this season. "For me it's not really about that. I'd rather go back to eight, nine points and winning."
Martin reiterated a one-game-at-a-time mentality for the Vols pushing ahead.
"We keep playing, you're talking 17 games left, most important is the next game," Martin said. "You go out there every game to compete and play hard --- those are the things we can control."

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
San Francisco, CA, United States, 2014/10/15 - Coverity, Inc., a Synopsys company announced the release of its latest Coverity Scan Project Spotlight, which analyzed the security defects detected by its open source software scanning service - Coverity.com. NASDAQ: SNPS
In conjunction with the release of the report, Coverity also announced that it would enhance the Coverity Scan service by including the Coverity® Security Advisor solution to the service so projects can now find critical Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 issues. The service has also been expanded to now include C# open source projects.
Recent high-profile vulnerabilities in open source code, including Shellshock, the OpenSSL Heartbleed and GoToFail vulnerabilities, have highlighted the importance of code quality and security for organizations. The Coverity Scan Security Spotlight identifies several common defects and exposures (CVEs) in open source code, and identifies that the GoToFail vulnerability could have been detected in Scan.
Since the inception of the Coverity Scan service in 2006, Coverity has enabled open source projects to find and fix critical security issues, including buffer overflows, integer overflows, and format string errors in C/C++ code. With todays announcement, the company is now enabling Java developers to find and fix security issues in their software code, including all of the OWASP Top 10 and other web application security issues.
The OWASP Top 10 presents the most critical threat to open source code. In the short time since Coverity Scan has been able to detect web application security defects in Java, the service has identified 688 OWASP Top 10 issues in 37 open source projects, including big data, network management, and blog server projects. The following are the specific number of OWASP Top 10 issues found:
The road to application quality and security starts in development, said Zack Samocha, Senior Director of Products at Coverity. With three major security issues related to open source code defects this year, its imperative that open source developers design code security into their projects starting as early as possible and utilize security experts to help them understand vulnerable areas in the code and potential attack vectors. Open source developers should leverage some of the best practices for application security employed by proprietary projects such as using static analysis and conducting regular security audits.
During the past eight years, the Coverity Scan service has analyzed several hundreds of millions of lines of code from more than 1,500 open source projects including C/C++ projects such as NetBSD, FreeBSD, LibreOffice and Linux, and Java projects such as Apache Hadoop, HBase and Cassandra. The Scan service has helped developers find and fix more than 94,000 defects since 2006. Nearly 50,000 defects were fixed in 2013 alone the largest single number of defects fixed in a single year by Scan users. More than 11,000 of these defects were fixed by the four largest projects in the service: NetBSD, FreeBSD, LibreOffice and Linux.
About Coverity Scan
In 2006, the Coverity Scan service was initiated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a public-private sector research project, focused on open source software quality and security. Coverity now manages the project, providing its development testing technology as a free service to the open source community to help them build quality and security into their software development process. Register your open source project for the Coverity Scan service, and follow us on Twitter to get the latest updates.

Sale price not display
I have problems with product sales prices. I imported products by csv and when I checked admin area everything was on the right place. But on the site just price was displayed, not the sale price. I tried a couple of plugins for import, but the result was the same. I tried a woocommerce theme, but there wasn't effect. When I add manually products there is no problem, when I click in the box of price, without changing anything and press the button "update", the sale price appear on the site. If you have an idea what to do, I'll be very grateful!

The right answer depends on your skin color and the way your skin responds to the sun. In general, fair skinned individuals do best with the Alexandrite or the diode lasers and the Nd:YAG laser is safer for darker complected people. The hairs most sensitive to laser light are in the early growing phase of the hair cycle so expect multiple treatments. IPL can be used for laser hair reduction but the last time I researched this, lasers were still the gold standard! I prefer lasers that incorparate cooling into the handpiece which reduces the risk and the discomfort associated with the procedure.
Which Laser is Best for Fine Dark Hairs? I've Used the Soprano IPL and It Didn't Work at All.
Doctor Answers 4
Lasers work better that IPL
Best Laser for Fine Dark Hairs
If you have light skin and dark hair, the best laser would be the Alexandrite. If you have darker skin and dark hair, the best laser would be the Yag. Expect to need several treatments with any laser though.

The best laser for dark hair...
The best machine for laser hair removal ultimately depends on the individual. The machine, in general should be a high power machine. There are a lot of machines out there and many of them are weak, which will not provide a great result. The machines made by Candela, Lumenis, and Palomar are examples of high power machines. Dark hair is usually the easiest to remove and if the patient has light skin, a high power machine should work great. If the skin is dark, the power will have to be turned down some, or an Nd:YAG machine can be used. In general, the Nd:YAG is not as effective as the other machines, but you can still get an improvement. Be sure to visit a facility with an experienced physician to better understand your options.

Whether you're hosting a leafleting event or just want a single free copy to help you learn more about vegetarian eating, COK has many leaflets, brochures, and booklets to help. Click on the images below to learn more about each item and order single copies or bulk quantities.
Meal and Snack Ideas
When making the transition to vegetarian eating, take simple steps and be sure to explore new foods and recipes – you just might discover a new favorite meal! Here are some easy ideas to get you started:
Breakfast: cereal with almond or soy milk, oatmeal with cinnamon and maple syrup, a fruit smoothie, tofu scramble, toast with peanut butter, soy yogurt with raisins
Lunch: a veggie burger, falafel wrap with hummus, a sandwich with veggie meat deli slices, rice and beans, vegetable chili, a salad, peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Dinner: vegetable stir fry over rice, spaghetti with marinara sauce, vegetable stew, BBQ tofu, a black bean burrito, vegetable lasagna with ground veggie beef
Snacks: fresh fruit. mixed nuts, energy bar, green smoothie, baked pita wedges with hummus, chips with salsa, popcorn
Need a jumpstart in the kitchen? Check out our free easy vegan recipes (also available in Spanish)!
Eating on a Budget
Whether you're a student, raising a family on a low-income budget, or just trying to make ends meet, choosing to buy vegan foods doesn't mean you have to break the bank. Sure, you can splurge on savory mock meats and dairy-free cheeses that are readily available in grocery stores everywhere, but there are plenty of delicious and nutritious vegan options that don't require spending a lot of money.
Discover how easy — and affordable — it is to transition to a more compassionate diet! Here are a few cost-saving tips:
Explore your community's Community Supported Agriculture programs and farmer's markets — both can be inexpensive options for finding fresh produce.
The most expensive foods in grocery stores are often displayed at eye-level. Look at the top and bottom shelves for better bargains.
The more meals you can prepare at home, the better. Fast food is not cheap — and it comes at a higher cost to your health. While it might be challenging to cook meals during the work week, preparing items ahead of time on a weekend for the week may help significantly.
Buy bulk pasta, rice, dehydrated meals, spices, and beans. These items are usually cheaper than buying them pre-packaged, and you can get as little or as much as you need.
Easy Vegan Substitutions
Choosing vegan food doesn't mean skimping on flavor. Rather, it simply means reaching for the cruelty-free versions of our favorite foods! In response to the growing demand for healthier and more humane foods, grocery stores everywhere are stocking up on delicious and nutritious plant-based options — from dairy-free milk, cheese and ice creams to veggie burgers, soy hot dogs, and chicken-free nuggets, and so much more.
Need some ideas of what to look for next time you go grocery shopping? Here are some of our favorites — and be sure to check out the "New-To-You-Foods" section below for more grocery shopping tips, and this vegan food substitutes glossary from Vegan Outreach!
For meat-free and convenient hearty dishes, look for brands like Tofurky, Gardein, Beyond Meat, Field Roast, and Boca which are usually found in your grocer's natural foods or frozen section. For dairy substitutes, we love Daiya, Teese, and Go Veggie! vegan cheese. And for frozen desserts, reach for Purely Decadent, So Delicious, Tofutti, and Coconut Dream flavors of vegan ice cream!
New-to-You Foods
You've probably heard of tofu before, but have you ever wondered what it is? Or what about seitan, tempeh, or nutritional yeast? One of the most exciting things about vegetarian eating is discovering new foods!
So to help guide you as you explore various recipes calling for foods you may have never heard of, here's a quick list:
Tofu: Made from soybeans, tofu is high in protein and calcium, and it readily absorbs surrounding flavors and spices. It typically comes in a white block and is available in many textures that can be fried, sautéed, steamed or scrambled.
Tempeh: With a firmer texture than tofu, tempeh is also a soy product. It has a nutty mushroom flavor and can take the place of meat in a recipe.
Nutritional Yeast: Packed with vitamins and minerals, this flaky, inactive yeast product has a cheesy flavor that is great for soups, pasta, macaroni and cheese, and more.
Seitan: Also called "gluten," seitan (pronounced SAY-tan) is a protein-packed wheat-based meat alternative. It can be found pre-packaged in grocery stores with or without added flavors, and you can also make your own.
Miso: A salty seasoning produced by fermenting rice, barley or soybeans, miso is a thick paste that can be used in spreads and sauces or diluted for a delicious soup base.
Soy, Almond, Rice, Flax, Hemp, Coconut Milks: These are alternatives to dairy milk with usable calcium and healthier protein. They are also free of cholesterol.
Baking Without Eggs
There are many ways to make substitutions for eggs, and all are simple, healthy, and easy to find. Traditionally, eggs have three main functions in cooking and baking; they add moistness, bind ingredients together, or act as leavening agents. How can you tell? Look at the recipe, and:
- If the egg is the main liquid ingredient, it adds moisture.
- If the recipe has one egg but also contains a leavening agent (such as yeast, baking powder, or baking soda), the egg is the binder.
- If there are no other leavening agents, then the egg is the leavener.
Now you can easily find a replacement! Just look at all of these options:
|¼ cup silken tofu
|¼ cup applesauce, banana, or pureed fruit + ½ tsp baking powder
|1 tbsp flax meal + 1 tbsp water
|2 tbsp arrowroot, cornstarch, or potato starch + 1 tbsp water
|1 tsp baking powder + 1 tsp vinegar
|1 tsp Ener-G Egg replacer + 2 tbsp water
|¼ tsp xanthan gum* + ¼ cup water
|¼ tsp agar powder** + ¼ cup water + 1 tsp baking powder
* Xanthan gum: Xanthan Gum is a plant-based thickening and stabilizing agent. It is often used for gluten-free baking.
** Agar powder: Agar is a red algae and a unique vegetable source of protein. Agar is sometimes referred to as Agar-Agar. It has no taste, no odor, and no color.

Smitten Kitchen blogger, cookbook author to stop in Raleigh
Posted February 15, 2013
Updated February 24, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — The "obsessive home cook" behind the Smitten Kitchen blog and cookbook will meet her Raleigh fans, including a very excited yours truly, for a discussion and book signing next Friday.
Quail Ridge Books and Music will host Deb Perelman at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 22.
We'll be interviewing Perelman before her book discussion and signing, so what burning questions do you have for her? Leave in the comments section below and we'll try to get them answered!
Perelman's warm, funny prose and scrumptious yet simple images have welcomed thousands of readers into her tiny New York kitchen for years on her blog Smitten Kitchen. We've giggled as she puckered her way through overly sour lemon confit and candied grapefruit peels and cooed when her wee curly-haired infant held a perfect little brussel sprout in his tiny cupped hand. She has invited us into her home, plied us with luscious images of delicious food and then set us free in our own cramped kitchens to create beautiful meals without too much fuss.
Her sausage, lentil and chard soup might be my current favorite, as it recently turned a gloomy, rainy Saturday evening into a cozy, wine-filled dinner in with two of my very favorite people. We stuffed ourselves on its hearty, spicy warmth and gabbed until our eyelids went droopy. If that doesn't spell wintry comfort, I don't know what does.
Just in time for the holidays, Perelman released her first cookbook, "The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and wisdom from an obsessive home cook." After repeated hints and winks and proclamations of how very wonderful I thought it would look beneath my Christmas tree, I got the book. Not on Christmas, but three weeks later when my whining had still not subsided.
And it was as lovely as I hoped. Filled with the anecdotes and the asides of a somewhat neurotic, perfectionist cook and her signature illustrative photos, it excites me the way a good cookbook should. I can't wait to cook my way through it, savoring every tasty bite of my labors.
Perelman lends a sincerity to her cooking, writing and photography that I can't wait to experience in the flesh. If you're a Smitten fan, join us next Friday. The event is free and open to the public, no reservations required.
Now, who's bringing the gooey cinnamon squares?
