What is this therapy used for?
Because guided imagery is a mind-body therapy, any stress-related health concern, including high blood pressure, pain related to muscle tension, insomnia, and anxiety or depression, may be alleviated via this approach. Associated conditions, such as skin rashes or irritable bowel syndrome, are also amenable to guided imagery. It has been shown to be beneficial in treating autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, and can be useful to alleviate chronic allergies, hives and asthma.
The Academy for Guided Imagery (AGI) classifies the therapeutic application of guided imagery into three categories:
The AGI website has a wealth of research-based information on specific disease processes that can be addressed with guided imagery.
What should one expect on a visit to a practitioner of guided imagery?
Guided imagery can be learned from books, self-help tapes, CDs, DVDs or in an interactive format utilizing a licensed practitioner to facilitate these techniques. Initially, guided imagery involves achieving a state of relaxation. To attain this, most clients begin by lying down or sitting in a comfortable chair, loosening any tight fitting clothes, and disabling common distractions, including televisions, cell phones and computers. Practitioners often have a room that facilitates this process. After a client gets comfortable, breathing techniques, music, progressive muscle relaxation or a guided induction is often used to help foster a state of deep calm.
From there, a set of instructions or suggestions is given to allow one's own images or imagination to guide him or herself toward the method of relieving symptoms. This can also include discovering images that have a message about particular symptoms or a condition, which can offer insight, understanding or better control of the physical concerns. Visualization exercises include graphic or vivid images that are held in the mind that produce healing and comfort. Moreover, the repetition of these exercises causes learning or a conditioning effect, so that the positive physical changes can eventually become available wherever and whenever the patient chooses to use them. Imagery is not necessarily just visual, but rather the use of all the senses. It can become more vivid if it is made bright and clear - that is, effort is made to actually hear, fell smell or even taste the imagined scene. How long one focuses on the techniques is less important than how regularly they are practiced - a few minutes every day can reap greater benefits than spending more time on it less often.
Are there any side effects or indications where guided imagery should be avoided?
There are no known contraindications for using guided imagery. This is not a technique, however, that should be incorporated into patient care when a client is uncomfortable about using it for personal or spiritual reasons. Mind-body approaches should be used in conjunction with, and not in place of, indicated physical therapies.
Is there a governing body that oversees or credentials practitioners of guided imagery?
The Academy for Guided Imagery (AGI) has a Professional Certification Training Program that provides in-depth training in Interactive Guided Imagerysm, or IGIsm. (The "sm" that follows the title stands for "service mark" and provides proprietary protection for a service similar to a trademark for a product). There are no titles for practitioners to use after their names. However, only those practitioners who have been certified by the AGI may represent themselves as practicing Interactive Guided Imagerysm or IGIsm.
How does one get in touch with a practitioner of guided imagery?
You can get a referral to a practitioner of guided imagery by contacting the website of the Academy for Guided Imagery (AGI) or 800-726-2070.
Are there other therapies that might work well in conjunction with guided imagery?
Mind-body medicine can work well as an adjunct to any conventional or alternative therapy. Imagery techniques are often used in conjunction with massage and other touch therapies. Guided imagery is frequently employed along with various forms of psychotherapy to facilitate behavioral change.

(WASHINGTON) – U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement today regarding reports that the United States, seeking to avoid having to decide whether to veto a pending United Nations Security Council draft resolution critical of Israel, has offered to support instead a Security Council Presidential Statement critical of Israel. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"Support for this anti-Israel statement is a major concession to enemies of the Jewish State and other free democracies. It telegraphs that the U.S. can be bullied into abandoning critical democratic allies and core U.S. principles.
"Palestinian leaders refuse to negotiate directly with Israel, while Israel has made unprecedented concessions and continues to repeatedly offer to negotiate anywhere, anytime. Responsible nations should be heralding Israel's commitment to achieving peace and security, not giving credence to the relentless campaigns by anti-democratic forces to deny that commitment.
"Offering to criticize our closest ally at the UN isn't leadership, it's unacceptable. Pretending that criticism of Israel is OK if it comes in a 'Presidential Statement' instead of a resolution isn't leadership, it's unacceptable. Twisting and turning and tying yourself in knots to avoid using our veto to defend our allies and interests isn't leadership, it's unacceptable.
"The Administration should change course, stand unequivocally with Israel, and publicly pledge to block any anti-Israel UN Security Council action."
NOTE: On January 27, 2011, Ros-Lehtinen and five fellow senior Members of Congress sent a bipartisan letter to the President—to which they have yet to receive a response—requesting that the Administration veto the aforementioned UN Security Council draft resolution criticizing Israel. The letter also called on the President to hold the Palestinian leadership accountable for their actions that undermine opportunities for peace and security. In addition to Ros-Lehtinen, the letter was signed by: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor; House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer; Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Howard L. Berman; and U.S. Reps. Steve Chabot and Gary L. Ackerman, the Chairman and Ranking Member, respectively, of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia.

"Chuck" from Friday The 13th Part 3-D talks with TV STORE ONLINE about working on the fan favorite of the F13 franchise as well as his work as a stand-up comic.
TV STORE ONLINE: One of the things that many F13 fans might not be aware of is the fact that you've had this long term interest in stand-up comedy...
KATIMS: Yes, I've done stand-up for 11 years now.
TV STORE ONLINE: Did you have an interest in stand-up come before or after you appeared in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D [1982]?
KATIMS: That's actually one of the regrets of my life because when I was living in Los Angeles and pursuing acting I did not pursue stand-up comedy. I really wish I had. At the time I thought that I could perform but I didn't think that I could write myself enough material. I live up in Seattle today and I've been doing occasional stand-up here and there. I've had some fun gigs and I've even performed at the Improv in Los Angeles.
TV STORE ONLINE: Even though you didn't pursue it until later on...I'm sure those comic sensibilities have always been with you...
KATIMS: Well....As a kid I was the class clown. I have older brothers and sisters so I was always trying to be funny so I could get their attention.
TV STORE ONLINE: So were there any comedy films that you saw when you were younger that perhaps influenced your decision to become an actor or comic?
KATIMS: Well, I don't know if one film comes to mind. But I loved watching The Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy and Jerry Lewis for sure. That zany kind of comedy is wonderful. Also, I liked Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart and Woody Allen. Then Saturday Night Live [1975-Current] too because I absolutely love sketch comedy. I think I've seen every single episode of Saturday Night Live ever made.
TV STORE ONLINE: How did FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D come to you?
KATIMS: Well I got into the acting game kind of late. At the time I was getting a degree in psychology at UCLA. I was almost done but I needed a couple electives to graduate and one of the classes I took was an acting class because I thought it would be an easy A. The first time I had to get up in front of the class I was terrified. I had been confident as a kid but when I had to get up in front of these kids that had probably been acting since high school...You either run away from a situation like that or you face it as a challenge. I decided after school that I would give myself 2 years to get a paying gig as an actor and it was about six months later that I got this reoccurring role as this sort of mental patient on the soap opera General Hospital [1963-Current].
How FRIDAY THE 13TH happened was that I had a friend of mine who had went in to audition for F13. He had a reoccurring role on a big television series then. When he went in for F13, the producers wouldn't tell him if the film was going to be a union or non-union film. Because my friend was on this big television series he couldn't do a non-union film so when the producers asked him if he knew anyone that would like to audition he suggested that I go in to audition for the producers and that's how I got the part.

Because my friend was on this big television series he couldn't do a non-union film so when the producers asked him if he knew anyone that would like to audition he suggested that I go in to audition for the producers and that's how I got the part.
TV STORE ONLINE: Can you take me through the audition...
KATIMS: I went in and read and then I got asked to come and read with different girls several times and they hadn't even told me if I had gotten the role or not at that point. They decided pretty early on that they wanted a male and female kind of Cheech and Chong, and one thing that I could do was dialects. So I did that sort of Tommy Chong kind of accent that he does in that character and they liked it. The producers had called me back at least five times before I got cast. I read with so many girls. There was this Hispanic actress that I read with that was really good and I thought for sure that they were going to cast her, then Rachel Howard the actress who played "Chili" in the film called me up and asked if I wanted to meet with her because she had been cast in the film. I had never read with her in all of the times that the producers had asked me to come back for them...laughing
TV STORE ONLINE: So going back to General Hospital...What was that whole experience like for you? It seems like working on a daily soap would be very rigorous.
KATIMS: I was on it when the big story line was about "Luke and Laura". It's kinda funny how I got the part. When I was a kid my mother had a cooking show on television and one of the things she taught me growing up was how to make a pie from scratch. I had met what I thought was an actress on General Hospital but she turned out to be a writer on the show. We were talking about sweets and I asked her if she wanted a pie that was the closest thing possible to the human orgasm. She said, "Yes". I told her that I'd like to met her casting director on the show and she agreed. I just had a very small part on the show but I was always called back when they needed a foil to interrupt the mental ward on the show. It's one of the hardest things you'll have to ever do. It's difficult because of all of the dialogue memorization an actor has to do. The story line doesn't change much from day-to-day.
TV STORE ONLINE: As for FRIDAY THE 13TH...Are the actors allowed to do an improvisation with their dialogue...There's some fun banter with yourself and Rachel Howard as Chili....
KATIMS: I had hoped to do some on the film...You could change a line here or there is all. Again, originally they had wanted this sort of Cheech & Chong thing and that's what I had done with "Chuck" up until we started shooting. When we started shooting the director Steve Miner told me that he no longer wanted me to do that sort of Tommy Chong accent that I had done in the auditions. I was kinda of disappointed with that because the way I had envisioned the character was that it would be really funny if he kept evading his own death because he was always stoned. Chuck is in most of the film and I thought it would really funny to add in physical comedy. He was always stoned so I thought it would be funny if he evades his death by tripping and falling down as an ax was flying toward his head or something like that. I had ideas for the character but they just didn't take me up on them...laughing
TV STORE ONLINE: Do you remember what the first scene that you shot was for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D was?
KATIMS: I do. It was the scene where Chuck and Chilli and the others are sitting in the back of the van smoking pot and the van looks like it's on fire. That was the first scene that I did. I had never worked on a major film before, so what I liked the most about the whole experience was that they had a great caterer on the shoot. I mean we would have stuff like prime rib and lobster at lunch time. We had that on my first day! We ate very well.
TV STORE ONLINE: When you went in to audition were you aware of the previous two F13 films and their success?
KATIMS: No I wasn't and remember when I went in to audition they weren't even calling the film FRIDAY THE 13TH. The originally working title was "Crystal Japan". The producers didn't want anyone to know that they were working on the third installment. So they didn't tell anyone auditioning that they were auditioning for F13 3-D. Once I was cast they told me what we were shooting and that it was in fact going to be a union shoot.
TV STORE ONLINE: How did the success of FRIDAY THE 13TH 3-D impact you?
KATIMS: I didn't have the same experience as others that were in the film I'm sure but I did enjoy a couple minutes of fame. I had went up to see my family in Spokane, Washington and a theater there was showing the film and they got wind that I was in town. So they sent a reporter out to see me and interview me. Then they arranged for me to come to see the film and afterward I signed autographs for about an hour and a half after the screening. It was really fun. It really was a huge success. The same weekend that FRIDAY THE 13TH 3-D opened up in theaters TEMPEST [1982] opened up with John Cassavetes and we beat that at the box office...laughing
TV STORE ONLINE: Going back to that first scene you shot in F13....Your character and the others eat all of their drugs when they think that the police are going to pull them over...
KATIMS: Right...The pot that we all ate was actually made out of barley. It wasn't great tasting either. The first time I had to smoke a joint in the film...It was made out of tobacco. I wasn't a cigarette smoker so I just couldn't smoke it without coughing. I went to a health food store and found these fake cigarettes. Why a health food store was selling fake cigarettes I'll never know, but you could smoke them and you could inhale them without it hurting your lungs. When I came in on the next day of shooting the prop guy had rolled like fifty joints out these fake health food store cigarettes.
TV STORE ONLINE: How many takes did you have to do on the eating of the pot/barley?
KATIMS: I don't remember a lot of takes of that. There were a few though just because there were so many people in the back of the van and everyone had to eat the pot in a close-up. There were a lot of takes with the scenes that involved the 3-D. That was very time consuming and it required a lot of takes because they had to get a focus in two different lens otherwise the 3-D wouldn't work. The 3-D technology they were using at the time was new and it was much better than anything that had been used before it.
TV STORE ONLINE: Was it two different cameras shooting criss-cross like in traditional 3-D or are you saying that one camera had two different lens on it?
KATIMS: It was one camera with two different lens. It was a very weird set-up.
TV STORE ONLINE: I'm sure the passing of the joint or when your character breaks the fourth wall and offers the joint to the film's audience would be a good example of that?
KATIMS: Right, yeah. That took a lot of time to do. There were days where I had a call time and I'd show up on the set in my costume and I would end up not even working because they were behind due to how difficult the 3-D process was for it.
TV STORE ONLINE: Last question....Are you surprised how big the F13 film franchise has become and furthermore are you surprised at the fan support that they've given the film since it's initial release.
KATIMS: No only am I surprised but I'm delighted. I so appreciate the fans because without them I wouldn't even have the recognition that I have from being in the film. I enjoy how shocked the fans are that I meet at the various movie conventions I've been too because as a character actor I look nothing like Chuck from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D. They're very surprised because they expect me to be this older guy with a beard and hair and of course I don't have a beard and I barely have hair on my head. The fans are so great and terrific. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3-D came out thirty years ago and there isn't a week that goes by that I don't get at least one fan letter or an email or something from a fan from somewhere in the world. That's whats shocking about it. But it's so delightful to have been a part of the film.

Metabolomic investigations of packed red blood cells (RBCs) stored under refrigerated conditions in saline adenine glucose mannitol (SAGM) additives have revealed the presence of three distinct metabolic phases, occurring on days 0-10, 10-18, and after day 18 of storage. Here we used receiving operating characteristics curve analysis to identify biomarkers that can differentiate between the three metabolic states. We first recruited 24 donors and we analyzed 308 samples coming from RBC concentrates stored in SAGM and additive solution 3 (AS3). We found that eight extra-cellular compounds (lactic acid, nicotinamide, 5-oxoproline, xanthine, hypoxanthine, glucose, malic acid, and adenine) form the basis for an accurate classification/regression model and are able to differentiate among the metabolic phases. This model was then validated by analyzing additional 49 samples obtained by preparing 7 new RBC concentrates in SAGM. Despite the technical variability associated with RBC processing strategies, verification of these markers was independently confirmed in two separate laboratories with different analytical setups and different sample sets. The eight compounds proposed here highly correlate with the metabolic age of packed RBCs, and can be prospectively validated as biomarkers of the RBC metabolic lesion.

I can tell you that I love you with all my heart and that I am so sorry for the childhood that you had. I could tell you over and over but that would never be enough, I could tell you that my pain and sadness in not having you in my life is real and the sorrow I feel for not being the mum you and Lindsey deserved is real, a pain that haunts me. I wish I would have been whole, complete and not damaged when I became your mum and I wish more that you will ever know that you were a part of my life. You are a beautiful daughter Andrea Nicole and I only wish you all the joy and happiness that heavenly father can shine down into your life. I failed you and let my past abuse and pain get in the way of being a good and protective mother and I am from the deepest part of my soul so very sorry and humble my self before you and threw my prayers to my father in heaven and ask for your forgivness. I love you. and I'm so very proud of you and your sister. mom

How can design be used as a tool to improve communication and make the day less stressful at a school for children with autism spectrum syndrome?
The Fensmark School
The Fensmark School wanted a new arrival and waiting area that could help ease the pressure in a high-traffic zone and make life easier for students and teachers. When 100 students and 100 teachers arrive and depart from the school everyday, the stress level is high in the arrival and waiting area that serves as a hub to the rest of the school.
Rosan Bosch Studio has developed an innovative communications and design concept in the arrival and waiting area. The studio has designed a unique custom designed furniture with differentiated spaces, developed specifically to support the children's individual social and physical needs.
Rosan Bosch Studio also developed a new overall visual communication strategy, focussing on simplicity, logic and a 'green line'. Now teacher/student communication centres on different colour coded frames in the room. The outside has been drawn into the room in the shape of a green line that ties together the design concept across the room. Custom graphic elements based on 'PECS' symbols now help the children to recognize the functionality hidden between the different doors in the room, and eases navigation onto the rest of the school.
The result is a waiting area with spaces for play, social interaction and at the same time privacy. The design is a high quality 'state of the art' solution that is based on inspiring and inviting forms and colours, taking into account acoustics, durability and cleanliness in a school, where not two days are ever alike.

Petition for consultation
We appeal to Glasgow City Council to hold an urgent consultation to end gender discrimination. Local school rolls are rising. The majority of West End schools are at or over capacity.
Notre Dame High is girls only.
Because of this it is 30% under capacity. This is due to the fact that demand for single-sex education is in decline.
Please allow Boys and Girls to be co-educated at Notre Dame High School.
Notre Dame High discriminates against boys.
As a girls only school Notre Dame High Secondary is the only single-sex state school in Scotland.
Notre Dame Primary is the only primary in Scotland whose girls and boys cannot go to the same secondary school.

VILLA players rounded off their season in goalscoring fashion during last night's international fixtures.
Shaun Maloney justified Scotland boss Alex McLeish's decision to start him against the Faroe Islands as he scored from a free-kick in their 2-0 win.
Striker John Carew hit a double as Norway hammered Hungary 4-0 in Group C.
Olof Mellberg was also on target as Sweden remained top of Group F thanks to their 5-0 win. Former Villa striker Marcus Allback also scored twice in that victory.
Another former Villa man on target was Thomas Hitzlsperger who scored the winner in Germany's 2-1 win against Slovakia.

The New York State Independence Party has endorsed Senator Patty Ritchie for a second term as State Senator representing the 48th Senate District.
"Senator Patty Ritchie has proven herself to be an independent voice that the people of our state can count on," said NYS Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay.
"She has reached across the political aisle and fought for the changes our state needs—like lower taxes and job creation. It is my honor as Chairman of the Independence Party to endorse Senator Ritchie for her second term."
Senator Ritchie has made it a priority to help change what was widely known as a dysfunctional state government in Albany.
"I'm thrilled to have the support of the Independence Party, and would like to thank Chairman MacKay and the members of the Independence Party for their confidence in me to continue the work that the Governor and I have started," said Senator Ritchie.
"Since taking office, I have made it a priority to work together to make the necessary changes to help get New York back on the right track," said Senator Ritchie.
Senator Ritchie has stayed true to her campaign promises of cutting taxes, lowering spending and helping to create jobs.
Over the past two years, she voted to enact two, back-to-back, on-time budgets that cut spending and lowered taxes – for the first time in our state's history.
In her role as Senate Agriculture Chair, Senator Ritchie has stood up for farmers to prevent new taxes and stop additional budget cuts that would have harmed the industry.
The 48th Senate District includes Oswego and Jefferson counties, and the St. Lawrence County towns of Canton, De Kalb, DePeyster, Edwards, Fowler, Gouvernor, Hammond, Hermon, Lisbon, Louisville, Macomb, Madrid, Morristown, Oswegatchie, Rossie, Waddington and the city of Ogdensburg.
Senator Ritchie has also been endorsed by the Republican committees in Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties and the St. Lawrence County Conservative Party.

Happy new year. Now pay up.
That's the message from our friends in the banking industry, who are introducing all sorts of fees and changes as a slew of regulations take effect designed to make financial heavyweights friendlier to customers.
From costlier checking accounts to higher credit card fees, banks are scrambling to find ways to compensate for as much as $50 billion in annual revenue that could be lost because of the tougher rules and requirements.
"This isn't about a money grab," said Scott Talbott, senior vice president for government affairs at the Financial Services Roundtable, an industry group. "This is about covering operating costs and risks related to transactions."

When I coined the term DULLberry to aptly describe what RIM's BlackBerry has become, I had two thoughts in mind. Firstly, I imagine a business where innovation has been 'taxed' to point of dullness. Lastly, I thought about a product, BlackBerry, which symbolically demonstrates that enervation of innovation. It can be argued from both sides of the fence whether RIM/BlackBerry – in its current state – will thrive or dive. I would suggest it is hard to be definitive that one or the other will be. So I will lean toward a more moderate position, a middle ground and say that RIM will just – survive. I say this not because I have a lack of confidence in the new reign of leadership at RIM or I dislike the BlackBerry for I am quite content with mine. I say this because RIM is a prisoner within the country they reside. Canada is the fertile ground where the DULLberry is grown.
When I refer to Canadian Conservatism, I do not mean Canadians whom lean toward a political right-wing party. However, I am referring to Canadians whose first inclination are to stand pat and wait, and such resist fundamental change especially the way we do business in this global economy. Canadians who spout off 'what's wrong with RIM', 'why can't they add this feature like the iPhone', 'why is my BlackBerry not like the Android…', are smugly forgetting this aspect of their Canadian meta-narrative or just simply ignorant thereof. An incessant flow of innovation as if turning on the kitchen tap, unfortunately runs against the fabric of being Canadian.
Innovation requires a high-degree of risk. It speaks about uncertainty of the final outcome with your idea, your job, your brand, your reputation and yes…your business. Many Canadians and their companies are highly adverse to strong risk. Of course, risk aversion has its advantages. Our banking institutions have a financial system that is best in the world touted by Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty (our counterpart to Timothy Geithner, the US Secretary of Treasury) and corroborated by the IMF. These economic pillars continue to withstand the quicksand of US sub-prime mortgages and their associated tentacles of financial instruments. Yet, it begets the question: do we have the best banking institution intentionally or incidentally? I would say incidentally. Our banks did not set out to be world's best (as far as public branding goes). Their success in this regard is a by-product of Canadian Conservatism, which has helped anchor our economy from sinking into the abyss with those in Europe.
Now that's the good news! Canadian Conservatism will keep us a float. What's the bad news? It means Canadian Conservatism will just keep us a float. A key distinguishing feature between America and Canada is that Americans have a culture of risk-taking. From sending people to the Moon to sending people to war, these require a great deal of risk. When talking to the average American, there is a prevailing attitude of being number one. And they will prove why it's so, courtesy of their politicians. American executives' conversations are saturated with doing work differently – doing work better. Many tend to ask where is the next seminar on leadership, what cutting-edge knowledge can I scoop up to win or how can I grow my business and myself to the next level. To this mass of people, there is a hunger for going where no one has gone before. There is a insatiable hunger for innovation. These men and women will go and get it. That attitude is rooted in the American dream. It is part of their meta-narrative for better or for worse.
Many Canadians on the other hand will watch-and- wait and perform smoke tests on these innovations. If it does not blow up, then we will jump on board. If it blows up, we are seen as the wiser for sensible caution. (I would adapt Bobby McFerrin's song of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to 'Don't worry, Be Cautious' as our national ditty.) Now the drawback with that attitude is that it is hard for us as Canadians to be or stay number one in the realm of business. If it is endemic to our culture to have a wait-and-see attitude, how on earth do we expect our Canadian companies like RIM NOT to naturally drift toward that risk-averse attitude? If Canadian companies who are ran predominantly by Canadians and employ predominantly Canadians that come out of risk-averse culture, how will these individuals will all of sudden be something different than being Canadian?
This is my point. If RIM was an American company, I would dare to say RIM would be ahead of Apple. Quite simply, not because of leadership alone, but because they would have access to a cultural hotbed of risk-takers. RIM would be a microcosm of the daring American populous. The risk-taking attitude of the American culture will spill over into the work environment spurring on innovation. It is just inevitable.
I wish RIM all the best in their transformation efforts but just know, RIM has to buck the trend toward Canadian Conservatism… or risk being called DULLberry.

I am reminded by a good friend that I am far smarter than any of you. Let's review:
Seattle at Chicago:
"...the Bears win close in a relatively low-scoring affair."
"50 points overall would surprise me..."
Check. I forgot, of course, to allow for the possibility of overtime, the 8-percent increase in game length having yielded a 6-percent increase in overall points. I'll take this one as a clear win for Minions.
Iggles at Aints:
"...the Aints have the ugliest unis north, south, east, or west of Baltimore..."
Check. From our buoyant and deluded Patriots correspondent:
"By the way, I now understand what you meant about the Saints uniforms...Yeah, they're pretty bad."
If that's not a clear win, I don't know what is. Next:
"End of the line for the Iggles. The noise and mildew of the Superdome will stifle them, while the posterboy for dysfunctional filial relationships chews up their secondary and opens up the field for the ReggieBush."
Check. We're done with this one. Cynics will point out that I predicted a Saints blowout in a high-scoring game. Since not even I am evil enough to argue that 51 points overall is low-scoring in one case and high-scoring in another, I will simply maintain that my overall truthiness to words ratio far exceeds that of any televised NFL analyst.
Pats at Chargers:
My only saving grace came here:
"I will be surprised by nothing in this game."
Check. Thank God I covered my ass with that shite, although I was also fairly prescient with this:
"I wouldn't bet on this game if you gave me 20 fucking points."
And this:
"Third, there is the matter of Dreamboat and his propensity for sneaking up on your ass in the playoffs and knifing you in the fucking kidleys."
Check. And this:
"Marty Schottenheimer is a cranky old dessicant who couldn't win a playoff game if it was the only thing standing between him and a legacy. Oh, wait, that is the only thing standing between Marty and a legacy."
Check. And this:
"...Dreamboat is one seriously sneaky motherfucker..."
Check. Fuck you, I'm calling this one a win.
Colts at Ravens:
I couldn't have nailed this one better if I had a hammer, some nails, Jesus, and a cross.
"Peyton's gonna have a frustrating day, but that's not gonna give the O.G. Browns an offense. Indianapolis in a game that will be sort of close, but reasonably comfortable for them."
Check. Actually, I could have nailed it better without this:
"...the O.G. Brownies look like fat artists without berets..."
Sadly, the O.G. Browns came out in their purples, rather than their fat beatnik suits. This did not alleviate the suck for them. Or give them an offense.
Ipso ergo factotum, science roolz and I am a better person than you. Now hustle off to your television to watch yet another massively overhyped Peyton-Dreamboat matchup. In, y'know, five days.

We like to think of our complexions as an angsty teen: moody, temperamental, needy, unsure of what we want, and even less sure of what we actually need. Our skin just can't seem to make up its mind — it's dry, it's oily, there's a wrinkle, there's a breakout. Battling all of these issues usually calls for a battalion of lotions and potions. Oh, how desperately we wish there were one skin-care solution to fix it all.
We're holding out hope that some cosmetic chemist in some lab out there will soon have her eureka moment on this front, but in the interim, we rely on product cocktailing to get us by. We use serum A to address our hyperpigmentation, followed by lotion B to address the moisture loss, then layer treatment C on top to dissolve those dead skin cells and prevent breakouts. A very involved, time-consuming process, but it's the only way to keep our skin in check at home.
Well, turns out all this mixing and matching might be doing our skin more harm than good. According to aesthetician Renée Rouleau, there are certain skin-care ingredients that, when combined, actually cancel each other out, or worse, could cause a major skin reaction. So, looks like we might have been unwittingly sabotaging our skin this whole time. Whoops.

Product Description
Who is hiding behind Mr. X? Still Life 2 reveals the long-awaited ending of Still Life and spells a new investigation for Agent Victoria McPherson.
In Fall 2008, Victoria is sent to Maine where Ellen Dunnigan's body has just been found. The modus operandi and the video sent to the police and press leave them in no doubt as to the killer's identity: the East Coast Torturer has struck again! No clues are picked up during the autopsy, as the serial killer painstakingly washed the body. Once again, the killer has not committed any errors.
From her motel room, Victoria comes across a report by Paloma Hernandez, the journalist covering all the crimes bearing the East Coast Torturer's signature. Hernandez has been highly critical of the FBI's and Victoria's lack of progress. That does not stop Hernandez from phoning and asking Victoria to meet her later that evening. Hernandez claims to have some so-called clues on the killer in her possession. Victoria flatly refuses. Just moments later, Paloma is kidnapped by the Torturer…
Still Life 2 remains true to the spirit of its first installment, but now allows you to play and manage two characters bound by the same fate. This time, the aim is to control two heroines, see the game from two complementary viewpoints and experience two different gameplays. Depending on whether you are playing Paloma Hernandez, the victim being hunted by the killer or Victoria McPherson, the FBI agent tracking him down, you can alternate between survival and investigation.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note 7 receives killer update2016-12-28 16:27 by Daniela
Tags: T-Mobile, Galaxy Note 7
T-Mobile is the first U.S. carrier to start killing remotely Galaxy Note 7 phones. A software update has already been released. The build number for the update is N930TUVU2APL2.
The update will prevent the handset from charging and connecting to networks. It will also show a notification with information about Samsung's Galaxy Note7 recall and the steps needed to return the device.
The other carriers are also expected to release such updates. AT&T and Verizon - on January 5, and Sprint - on January 8.
Samsung and carriers agreed to take the unprecedented step of issuing the killer update after some Note 7 owners continued to use their devices despite the recall and many dozens of incidents of batteries exploding, smoking, or catching fire. About 7% of the Note 7 devices sold in the United States were still in use two weeks ago, Samsung said.

Jonathan Levav of Columbia Business School in New York and his colleagues analyzed 1,112 parole hearings for inmates of four Israeli prisons, made by eight judges over a ten-month period.The article, as all scientific articles do, includes the appropriate dose of skepticism. And it's obviously wrong to presume that the judges are too harsh when they're hungry; after all, they might be too lenient when full.
Judges' days were divided into three sessions broken by two meal breaks -- a morning snack and lunch. Judges decided when to break, but had no control over the ordering of cases, which was determined by when a prisoner's attorney arrived.
At the beginning of a session, a prisoner had a 65% chance of being paroled, the authors found. This declined to almost zero by the end of a session, and leaped back to 65% after a break.
The severity of the crime, the time served in prison, any previous incarcerations, and the availability of rehabilitation programs were not enough to explain the effect on the probability of parole, and the nationality or sex of a prisoner made no difference. The findings are published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Still, it makes one wonder what would happen if courts instituted mandatory snack breaks.

Dry, fragile, frizzy, difficult to manage' are some of the adjectives that best describe your hair, if you are an African-American woman. Due to such hair type, hair care for women of African origin differs slightly from normal hair care. Here are a few useful hair care tips for black women.
Nice, shiny, black dreadlocks are a dream of every African-American woman. Unfortunately, the coarse, dry texture, which is a characteristic feature of a black woman, makes it a distant dream. However, the good news is, that you can still achieve your dream hair, if you follow a regular hair care routine. Throughout this article, you'll find great tips on hair care for black women. More on african-american hair care tips.
Healthy Diet
Your hair reflects what you eat, hence, if you want shiny, healthy hair, you must eat healthy food. Incorporate lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Since, your hair is made of protein, you should eat foods rich in proteins. Also, include vitamins such as A, B6, B12, E, niacin, etc., as a healthy diet does more good to your hair than any hair care product. Read more on best black hair care products.
Cleaning Routine
It is a common myth that washing your hair more often renders your hair more dry and weak. You should wash your hair at least every 4-5 days. Use a good quality shampoo meant for dry hair and do not forget to condition your hair. A leave-in conditioner is best suited for black hair. Also, while washing your hair, do not rub your scalp too roughly. Partition your hair in several sections and gently rinse off the shampoo. Moreover, do not rub your hair vigorously while drying. Just wrap it in a towel and press it, so as to remove excess water. Letting them dry naturally is the best option. Read more on hair conditioning tips.
Extra Nourishment
Besides a regular cleaning routine, you need to provide extra nourishment to your hair. Jojoba oil is the best hair moisturizer. Look out for products that are rich in jojoba oil and apply on the scalp every 2-3 days. Oil treatment is also necessary to provide your hair with additional nourishment. Warm some coconut oil or olive oil in a pan and apply it on the roots of your hair with a cotton wool. Follow this routine at least once a month. Read more on olive oil hair treatment and jojoba oil for hair and skin care.
Hairstyling Tips for Black Hair
If you are opting for 'bone-straight' hair, do not keep your hair too long. Hair coloring ideas are not a recommended hair styling option for black hair. The chemicals in the dyes are too harsh for black hair. They strip the hair of its moisture and renders it vulnerable to damage. If you must, always color your hair after you are done with perming. More on hair care for curly hair.
General Hair Care Tips for Black Women
1. Always de-tangle and pin-up your hair before you go to bed.
2. If you have rough, cotton pillow covers, then wrap your hair in satin scarf to protect them from getting damaged over the night.
3. Always cover your hair when going outdoors, especially in the sun.
4. Avoid using more than one heat product on your hair such as blow dryer, flat iron, hair straighteners, etc.
5. Use a wide toothed comb to de-tangle your hair.
6. Trim your hair every 2 months or more (depending upon your hair growth) to get rid of split ends.
7. Use a pre-styling gel or serum before going for any black hairstyle. More on black hair care tips.
The above hair care tips for black women will definitely help you achieve an enviable mane. Follow them to the word and you'll be all set to flaunt your shiny, black curls.
Welcome to the best dating site for black women!

Import a spell checker dictionary (or bulk-add words to the dictionary)
ryofurue last edited by
I have two questions:
- Who manages the spellchecker dictionary? Vivaldi or the webpage?
- Is it possible to add a list of words to the dictionary at a time?
I use Gmail and see red wiggly lines under words in the text box in which I'm composing a message. I already have my personal dictionary listing technical terms and proper nouns that a typical dictionary doesn't know. I want to feed this dictionary into Vivaldi's.
It is a headache because I daily use two computers, and if Vivaldi doesn't accept my existing dictionary, I would have three dictionaries to synchronize.
Alternatively, is it possible to make Vivaldi use GNU's aspell ?
@ryofurue The dictionaries used are Hunspell. Although they can be edited, it is not a trivial task. Someone can probably tell you where the added words are stored.

great colours ->great photo
it looks like they just placed the yarn on a scanner and scanned it, which is actually a great way to get color and depth out of an object if you don't have a really nice camera...
i second that. i'm pretty sure they scanned it.
definitely a flatbed scanner image.
I used to work in a yarn store and I'd scan our yarns on a flatbed scanner too as colour, texture and yarn dimensions can show up much more authentically that way than painstakingly trying to capture them all in a photograph. Tigerlilly's shot has a lovely, organic look.
this yarn looks so yummy!great muted color...
this yarn is yummy!if i could, i would give you knitting lessons thru the computer.

Hock Chuan Heong is one of my favorite place for lunch. I like their dishes like Oh jian, Oh mee, fried prawn and the taufu.
But recently, i found out that their price is getting higher... so less pergi liao.mmm..

GRAND DESIGN: "Thrill Of The Night"
Label: AORheaven 2014
Review by: Urban "Wally" Wallstrom
This was the album with which the Swedes of Grand Design would break on through to the other side and thus bringing down the reign of extremely high-pitch vocals and Def Leppard rock for the next century. However, they no longer sound like Leppard wannabees (if they ever did? I haven't heard the first couple of albums) and if anything it's the mix of Heavy Pettin, The Poodles, and just the hint of 220 Volt and TNT - early Harnell era.
Then again... the utter mad Glasgow legends of Heavy Pettin sounded an awful lot like Def Lep at times and singer Pelle Saether (ex. Zello, Unchained, Mindjive, Schizophrenic Circus, etc.) work in the same range as Hamie and the Poodles dude (hi-hi-high on emotion). The two guitarists, Dennis Vestman and Janne Stark (Overdrive, Locomotive Breath, etc.) are trading licks and tricks of the melodic NWOBHM tradition throughout the album and drummer Magnus Ulfstedt (Torch, Talisman, Mitch Malloy) bashed skins like as if he friggin' hate drums and wants to kill them all.
They start up the album with "U Got Me Good" and Hamie's probably laughing away in Scotland as it's spot on Heavy Pettin with a healthy dose of Yngwie Malmsteen (the main riff and guitar work). "Rawk N Roll Heart Attack" is more towards Def Lep but in reality it's perhaps more like Dynamite Sex Dose and Glorious Bankrobbers. I'd also like to point out, there's hardly any slick Mutt Lange rock to be found on this record. High N Dry? yeah, to a certain degree. Heavy Pettin, absolutely!
Bloody'ell. I notice that Erik "The Void" Mårtensson (Eclipse, WET) co-wrote two songs and he's literally everywhere nowadays (thus why I named him 'The Void'). "Thrill Of The Night" is however a very intense, powerful, and catchy album and a LOT better than expected to be perfectly honest. Recommended if you're into above mentioned acts and proper high pitch (melodic metal) vocals.
