The Off to Oz Giveaway Hop, hosted by Angela's Anxious Life and I Am a Reader, Not a Writer, works like this: each participating blog hosts a giveaway and then we link up together allowing our followers to hop easily from one giveaway to another. For followers, it means lots of chances to win free books. For blogs hosting giveaways, it means lots of new visitors and followers. It's a win-win! The Off to Oz Giveaway Hop is scheduled from September 10th at 12.01 AM until September 17th at 11:59 PM (EST).
The Prizes
This will be a choice giveaway. One lucky follower gets their selection of a classic retelling or time travel book! Some of my personal recommendations include The Picture of Dorian Gray, Beastly, and All Our Yesterdays (for which you can find my review, here—I LOVED it!).
What about you? What are your favorite classic or time travel novels?
Since the more winners, the merrier, I'm also giving away a set of eBooks to two lucky runners-up. Here are some of the books you could win!
The Rules
Since this is a follower hop, I will have to make following by blog via Bloglovin' a mandatory entry.
For additional entries, you can (+1) follow the blog on Twitter (@modishbooks), (+1) follow me on Twitter (@touurnesol), (+1) follow via email subscription, (+1) vote one of my reviews as "helpful" on Amazon (everyday), and (+1) Tweet about the giveaway (everyday).

The Small Print
I'm not saying this because I'm a completely anal and want to make your life a living hell, but because I've noticed something going on with a lot of follower hops. The point of them is not to temporarily follow that blog and unfollow as soon as the giveaway is over. The point of the follower hops is for the blogs generously offering giveaway prizes to gain more readers and followers—in return, participants receive the opportunity to win great prizes such as books, gift cards, and swag. I'm not just speaking on behalf of myself, because seriously, I'm so grateful for the followship I have (love every each and one of you!), but I know for a fact this happens with lots of other blogs as well. Being part of the blogging community, I just want my two cents be heard. If you are so inclined as to read more about how I feel on this subject matter, please refer to this blog post.
The End
Sorry my rant was a little bitchy. I'm not trying to be mean. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU so don't even go there, darling. And if you're one of those people who are loyal to blogs and never, ever unfollow, you. are. a. treasure. Be sure to enter all of the other giveaways going on for this hop; there are so many great prizes being given away!
xo and always!

The big freeze gripping the UK could last until almost the end of April, weather forecasters have predicted.
Temperatures are unlikely to recover to normal averages for the time of year until the latter part of next month, the Met Office suggested through its 30-day forecast.
Sub-zero temperatures look likely to bring misery to thousands of people for the rest of the week and throughout Easter weekend as the dangerous wintry weather shows no immediate signs of abating.
Thousands of people in western Scotland face a sixth day without power on Wednesday after being cut off last week, and many transport routes across the UK remain impassable because of deep snow drifts.
More than 3,000 people in Argyll in Scotland and the Isle of Arran were without power after ice and snow damaged pylons.
Farmers have been left counting the cost of the blizzard conditions, with many having to rescue stranded livestock at the height of the lambing season.
An RAF Chinook helicopter was called in on Tuesday to help as part of an emergency operation in Northern Ireland as farms and families were cut off by huge snow drifts.
The severe weather has also been blamed for the deaths of a number of birds, including puffins, razorbills and guillemots, which have washed up on Britain's beaches.
The RSPB Scotland said it had received reports in Aberdeenshire, Angus and Northumberland.
The Met Office has issued a cold weather alert for much of England, with a 100% probability of severe cold weather and icy conditions until Friday.
Its outlook for Sunday to 9 April predicts cold, dry weather, with a few light snow flurries and widespread frost and icy patches overnight.
The Met Office predicts temperatures are unlikely to recover to nearer normal values until the latter part of April.
Gemma Plumb, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said that while there was no forecast for more big snow falls, it would remain very cold for the rest of the week, with temperatures as low as minus 6C (21.2F) overnight and ranging from 4C to 8C in the day time.
"By the time we get to April some places could be 4C or 5C below the average for the month. The south-east is likely to see temperatures of 6C to 8C, but the average for April is 12C or 13C," she said.
"There will be some sunny spells around at times, and a few light snow flurries, especially in the east.
"High pressure will start to build across the UK, so there will be fewer snow flurries and more in the way of dry weather over Easter weekend, but it will remain very cold.
"Sunny spells might begin to thaw the snow, but winds from the east could cause more drifts. There are no real signs of warmer weather moving in at this time."

I want to compile clamav to work on solaris 7 sparc platform. I am currently using solaris 10 for compiling it. Can anyone guide me through the proper steps to make this mission successful?

Bad news for Solaris 7. OpenCSW catalogs only support Solaris versions from 8 onwards. Your 14-year-old platform, if you really want to build on it, will require building everything from scratch, including dependencies (libbz2, iconv, libtool, ncurses, libz). Current version of clamav might require modern versions of its dependencies, so you'll have to build them too. You might run into issues where an old compiler will not be able to handle new style C code, or the Solaris 7 libc will not have the required functionality.
The overall outline of steps are like with any other compilation:

Thanks for your info. Is it possible for me to compile clamav on solaris 10 32-bit non-sparc platform and use the compiled package in solaris 8 sparc platform? If yes, does it require any configuration changes?
answered 24 Sep '12, 21:19

Compile on 5.10 and run on 5.8 ? not possible. You could do it the other way around, build on older and run on newer. But if you want to run on 5.8 you need to build on 5.8.

Hey all!! I feel dumb for not explaining the song choices from my earlier post, but I knew I would get to it.
If you remember I was set to have a tennis date with a cool guy I had been chatting with. We had exchanged our phone numbers and at around 5PM one night, he sent a text to me, asking if I would like to have an ice cream later that night. I remember doing a huge smile, as it was a total surprise, but also that someone was doing actually more than I was expecting from him, which doesn't really happen often (especially with dating). I replied that I would like it and we scheduled our meeting.
I went there and he was waiting for me. He had told me that he would go with his bike, which I thought was a cycling bike, but it turned out that it was a motorbike (hot !). We both ordered a sundae and we went to eat it outside (finally the temperature is warming up it is very welcome!!) We chatted for more than half an hour, eating our sundae. I was attacked by a spider that had climbed up to my neck. He was really freaked out and said it was a f**ing huge spider. Well I was not afraid and it was really small (pumping chest LOL). I just brushed it off and he managed to find the courage to kill it (now that I'm thinking about it it was totally unnecessary! we were outside!) Anyways, we were both finished and he wanted to do a ride because of the nice temperature so we went back to the parking. We small talked a bit and we confirmed the tennis date for the next Sunday.
Going back home, I was thinking if there is some potential with him and I thought yes, even if there were a few things that we didn't have common interests, but I thought we still needed to get to know each other more. We continued chatting through the week and on Sunday I was looking forward to our tennis date. Since the tennis court was in my town and actually near from home, I thought maybe we could happen to have to come to my house to maybe just chill out or something after the game.
My house was a total mess, so I started a huge house cleaning chore. Like 3 or 4 hours. It had been a really long time that my house was not as clean!! By early afternoon, I was expecting him to text me to tell me he was coming over. He had not yet so I sent him a text at 2. He didn't reply and I was getting depressed again. In the meantime, my mother came to do a quick visit and I was glad that I had done major cleaning or I would have had the mom speech!!
While she was there, he replied to me at around 2:30 and he said that he had just woke up because he had partied the night before. I highly doubted that since I had seen he had been connected on the dating sites a few times during the day, but I was willing to think that maybe his phone was doing tricky things. But if true, I was disappointed that he would not give that much importance to our date and allow himself to wake up too late for it. He said that it was too late for the tennis game because he had a dinner coming soon. But he said that maybe we could meet later that night and i told him to sent me a sign when that happens.
I told all that to my mom and she said he was not reliable and that I should forget about him. Well, if he was going to send me a sign, I would have accepted to meet him. But..... he never did of course. He has never came back to me.
So, for the second time in a row, I couldn't go past a first date, been if I thought that things had not been bad. I thought maybe these guys think I'm radioactive and they want to go as far as possible from me when they realize that. I just don't understand why he continued to chat with me through the week and why he offered to meet later if he was clearly not interested...that's just stupid, lame and weak. I've been told that for some guys (or girls also I suppose) it's just easier to not reply, rather than reply and say what they really think. Well that sucks!! If we have met I think there is a moral obligation to confirm that you are not interested anymore.... but I suppose that it's just me.
Too close
OK this is different than the usual stories I have shared so far. I think it was last Sunday or Monday night I was in the chat room and just hanging in there. Then I started to talk to one of the guys there that is a regular but that I had not really got to talk to a lot. (I don't remember how and who initiated the discussion) At a certain point, he asks if I have already seen pics of him. I say no and he sends me some. He's a really good looking guy, not the model-type, but he definitely has something special (he doesn't think he is hot but I think he is!!) So we continue talking and at another point he asks me what I'm doing and I say I'm chatting there in the chat room and also on Skype. He says you have Skype? I say yes! He asks me to add him and I do so cause I like to chat with people on Skype. He asks if I want to have just voice or the cam too. I say that I don,t mind about the cam, but most people I chat with prefer only the voice. He says he doesn,t care either so we end up video chatting for a bit. I was actually very tired and I had suggested maybe another time but he insisted, so I said OK but not for too long. So we start the video chat and I see that he is even nicer in action than on his pics LOL. He has this gorgeous smile and really beautiful blue eyes.
Now if you remember one of my posts from December when I was talking about that waiter from the reception room, you know that I am not one to notice or remember physical aspects (especially hair and eyes). I actually very very very rarely notice eyes. But it happened that night. They were just so beautiful LOL. Anyways, we small talked for a bit and then I quit because I really had to go sleep. I didn't think that anything special had happened and it was just a nice chat I had with this guy.
The next morning I woke up and I was thinking about him. All day I thought about him. When I realized that I was always seeing him in my head, I was pissed at myself. Why do I have to "fall" for this guy I have been in contact with for like 30 minutes and not for guys who are closer and for whom something could be possible! (the skype guy is from somewhere down in the US). Of course I was happy to experiment this feeling of thinking about this guy I liked, it was just not the good guy!! So that's why I felt that I was "too close". I can't just throw myself in wanting to have things go further with that guy. He would actually have to be interested in me at first, but this is doubtful. he told me that if we lived closer he would like to go have a coffee with me, but that is just politeness and I am aware that it doesn't mean anything. And even if it did mean something.... the distance barrier is still there, so I better not get too close.
Luckily two days later I had a chat with my lil big gay bro and he got me feeling better about it. More to come!

Vernissage TV | Paul McCarthy: Three Sculptures / Inaugural Exhibition at L&M Arts Gallery, Los Angeles
October 5, 2010
Train, Mechanical (2003-2010) is a fully automated tour-de-force that features a George Bush/pirate hybrid mounting a pig from behind, while another pig humps the same pig's skull, finding aural penetration. This scenario then repeats itself in a figurative "train." The work finds visual precedent in earlier sculptures with the same cast of characters and related configurations, such as Train, Mechanical, Pig Island (2007), Mountain (2009) and Static (2004-2009). All of these works stem from Pig Island; this perpetual work in progress, inspired by the Disney ride Pirates of the Caribbean, emphasizes process as sculpture. Many sculptures were spawned from this fertile environment full of political satire, cultural commentary, and playful experimentation with various modes of art production. In Train, Mechanical, McCarthy has also found inspiration from an ongoing fascination with carnival rides and mechanized mannequins, first seen in his seminal work The Garden (1991-1992). Train, Mechanical takes this early interest to new heights. Here, one experiences fully articulated body parts, right down to the male figure's pursed lips and the pigs heaving chest – all in the service of a mesmerizing tableau that redefines sculptural form.

text: You don't have to be a basketball fan to love Glory Road. It's Walt Disney Pictures' new triumphant story of the underdog Texas Western Miners who clinched the 1966 NCAA tournament title with the first all-African American starting lineup, against the all-white juggernaut of the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Jerry Bruckheimer produced this flick, and he brought his famous car-chase drama and lightning-fast camerawork to the basketball court. During play, your eyes can barely keep up with the intense action. It's mesmerizing, not to mention triumphantly emotional. The whole theater was cheering during the high points. By the end of the movie, you learn a little history and why this was the most important game ever played--for basketball and for the racial tensions of the country. Josh Lucas is excellent and convincing as Hall of Famer Don Haskins, the passionately dedicated college basketball coach who unwittingly helped change the course of American history. Glory Road opens in theaters on Friday.

I thought that the season 2 was supposed to be based on FINDERS KEEPERS, but am I wrong to read this press release that it may more be related to END OF WATCH?

Ferrer will play Cora Babineau, wife of Dr. Felix Babineau (Huston) and head of marketing at a major pharmaceutical corporation, whos even more ambitious than she is beautiful. If her husband has a genius for manipulating people from the inside out as he reaches into their brains and rewires them, Cora has a genius for influencing people from the outside in. Her beauty, brains and force of will, judiciously softened with poise and extreme charm, make her a formidable saleswoman, of whatever shes peddling.

The week of Feb 12th, filming was done at the house across the street from a co-worker of mine in Charleston. He had no idea what they were filming. He asked if I knew what Mr. Mercedes was. I haven't seen the first season yet so I don't know if this house was used before, but it will be in the new season. They filmed inside the house and did aerial shots.
Corner brick house:

They also used the white house next door and covered it in "a crazy amount of rose bushes." But no filming inside.

Are we getting a DVD or what? I mean, come on!
"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."
I think the goal here's to have as few people as possible watch the show.
I had no idea superchannel even existed until herberwest posted the link.
And DirecTV has a streaming service called DirecTV Now which offers a free trial for a week so you can definitely watch the show, and even other stuff Audience does, like You Me Her.
Stephen King adaptation Mr. Mercedes will be back for a ten-episode second season on August 22, AT&T Audience Network told Deadline during the shows panel at The Contenders Emmys. Director Jack Bender joined stars Brendan Gleeson, Harry Treadaway, Kelly Lynch and Holland Taylor to discuss the series first run.
Speaking with Deadlines Joe Utichi, Bender offered his first impressions of Mr. Mercedes. When Stephen first sent me the galleys, I was thrilled, the director said. He had never written a detective novel, and I found it fascinating that Stephen was writing this time about the monsters inside the people, as opposed to the monsters outside the people.
Not getting into specific details about Season 2, the cast instead discussed the complexities of the series characters, including a deranged serial killer (Treadaway) and the detective (Gleeson) who is set on bringing him down.
For Gleeson, what was so compelling about Mr. Mercedes was the series empathy in its full, human portrayal of even the most complicated, troubled characters. When I talked to Jack and David Kelly, who I think is probably the best writer working at the moment in terms of human relationships, it was all about the inner conflict going on with everybody, the actor explained. Where we can be monsters, and kind of angels, all in one package.
Mae. I'm curious to know if you have any insight why this isn't being released on DVD/Blu-Ray? I still need to check into the streaming service for the free week.
"Any area of collecting only becomes really worth it when shared with like minded people"-Alec aka Anonymous
I wish I knew. I would love to pick up some of their lesser known shows like Billy & Billie on blu-ray. They may be holding them back so people sign up for the service. The streaming service should be a good alternative though, the shows Audience has are good.
Because it airs on the AT&T Audience Network, not a lot of people had a chance to watch the Stephen King TV show, Mr. Mercedes.
That is disappointing because while too many people were watching the disappointing Spike TV version of The Mist, this AT&T exclusive Stephen King series was knocking it out of the park.
Based on the first book in Kings Bill Hodges trilogy, Mr. Mercedes tells the story of a retired police officer (Brendan Gleeson) who finds himself taunted by a mass murderer from the past that he was never able to catch.
This show is not a mystery, either. It is a thriller because we meet the killer from the start, in the psychotic Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway). The murders from years back saw Brady drive his Mercedes into a crowd of people camped out for a job fair, killing 16 of them before escaping without a trace.
Hodges has since retired and is trying to live out his life when he gets a computer message from the killer, who decides to taunt Hodges in an attempt to drive the man insane. All the while, Hodges suffers from some medical problems, is romanced by a neighbor, and ends up teaming with the sister of one of the deceased to try to find out who the murderer is once and for all.
At the same time, Brady is going about his life as a home repairman for a big box computer store. His home life is messed up, with an alcoholic mother (Kelly Lynch) who seems to have a little too much love for her son and people around him who push him until he is ready to kill again.
David E. Kelly (Chicago Hope, Boston Legal) was the showrunner for this Stephen King adaptation Kings first attempt at a detective novel. When asked at a Deadline panel about the Mr. Mercedes TV show, Brendan Gleason looked at it in shades of gray.
With somebody like Bill, we can see the consequences of his obsession with his own job; we can see how he can drive people away from him.
As for Brady, Treadaway explained why he was as much of a victim as Hodges was in the first season at least.
Hes not just a cut-out monster. He is a troubled victim in many ways, of his life, of his upbringing,
It is an interesting take, as Stephen King has mastered the creation of monsters both human and otherwise. As the book series moved on to Finders Keepers and End of Watch, Brady became much more of a monster as the series took a more supernatural slant, as expected from King.
However, whether the Mr. Mercedes TV show does that or not is another story. One of the reasons it worked so well was that it was grounded, felt dirty at times, but always seemed real. This was about damaged people hurting, and that is why it was such a success.
Producer Jack Bender credited David E. Kelly with that.
I think one of the things that David Kelley brilliantly brought to the pilot, and then to the rest of the first season, was empathy for all these complicated, screwed up people, that we all are in our own ways.
Mr. Mercedes season 2 is returning to Audience Network on August 22, 2018.
I watched the free episodes. It was pretty good.
I'm not purchasing the Audience Network though.

Here is a massive breakdown of a spinning wheel that I am estimating to be somewhere in the 1800's.
It is possible (likely) that the turned parts are different than the base parts.
My goal is to restore this as close as possible. To start with I will have to back-fill the uprights and replace the likely bearing surface with leather, bone, stag etc. However, I would like to keep close to species on any wood filling I do.
There is one small turned piece ultimately missing from the distaff assembly that I will have to make, and likely I will have to completely remake the flyer (Y shaped piece) since it was repaired quite poorly and would be dangerous at the speeds it would be used.
In addition to that, the treadle assembly feels quite a bit like different wood, and was likely replaced, as the workmanship does not match and the wood feels quite different to the hand.
I realize the species ID is touch from pictures, but I think if I get enough guesses together I can come up with a close approximation.

Quentin Tarantino elaborates on that Lone Ranger choice; Says Batman is not interesting
The other day, Quentin Tarantino offered up his Top Ten of 2013- So Far. Many seemed rather perplexed by a certain inclusion. Of all the movies in 2013, why did THE LONE RANGER get a nod from Tarantino? Maybe because not everyone thought it was a total and complete turd.
The interview comes from French weekly paper, Les Inrocks. IndieWire did their best to translate the print version since the online one hasn't hit yet. Here's what Tarantino offered up:
"The first forty-five minutes are excellent" then conceded "...the next forty-five minutes are a little soporific. It was a bad idea to split the bad guys in two groups; it takes hours to explain and nobody cares. Then comes the train sceneâincredible! When I saw it, I kept thinking, 'What, thatâs the film that everybody says is crap? Seriously?'"
Tarantino continued talking about some of the issues that he had with Tonto, and perhaps these are the same issues that other viewers had:
"That being said, I still have a little problem with the film. I like Tontoâs backstoryâthe idea that his tribe got slaughtered because of him; thatâs a real comic-book thing. But the slaughter of the tribe, by gunfire, from the cavalry, it left a bitter taste in my mouth," he said, continuing: "The Indians have really been victims of a genocide. So slaughtering them again in an entertaining movie, Buster Keaton style⦠That ruined the fun a bit for me. I simply found itâ¦ugly. Making fun of this, when America really did it, it bothered me...That doesnât stop it from being a good film but they could have done without that."
The interviewer then brings to light the depiction of slavery in DJANGO UNCHAINED, which Tarantino then defends while poking fun at what LONE RANGER tried to do at the wrong time:
"I didnât make 'Lone Ranger'â¦thatâs two different things. I did an examination of America. I tried to juggle with different things and, frankly, I think I did it better than them. I donât know, letâs just say that it was ugly. And violent. And boring. And it happens right in the middle of the filmâs bad part, anyway. [laughs]"
Then towards the end, Tarantino was asked what he thought about Ben Affleck being chosen as Batman, because why not? Everyone including the guy who makes my coffee at Dunkin has been asked that question:
"I have to admit that I don't really have an opinion. Why? Because Batman is not a very interesting character. For any actor. There is simply not much to play. I think Michael Keaton did it the best, and I wish good luck to Ben Affleck. But, you know who would have made a great Batman? Alec Baldwin in the '80s." Alec's brother William was considered for BATMAN FOREVER so close enough.

My research typically focuses on one of three areas of focus: norms, close relationships and sexuality, and advanced statistics.
Much of my research is concentrated on studying the norms that govern sexual behavior. Some of my research involves examinations of the general content of sexual norms, and measuring endorsement of these prescriptions (e.g., Sakaluk et al., 2014). Other times, I researched specific sexual norms, particularly those involved in sexual double standards (e.g., Muehlenhard, Sakaluk, & Esterline, 2015). My research in this area includes exploration of new ways to assess sexual double standard endorsement (e.g., Sakaluk & Milhausen, 2012), as well as collaborations in which my colleagues and I examined group-based differences in double standard endorsement, and the stability of double standard endorsement over time (Sprecher, Treger, & Sakaluk, 2013).
Currently, my norm-based interests have shifted from focusing on the content of sexual norms to understanding factors that contribute to the strength of sexual norms. This area of my research is in its relative infancy, however I see it as a cornerstone of my future scholarship.
Close Relationships/Sexuality
Although I am primarily interested in the study of sexual norms, I have secondary interests in other aspects of sexuality and close relationships. Typically, these projects involve blending modern social psychological theories and methods with the study of various relational or sexual outcomes. For example, in my Masters Thesis research, I used experimental methods of priming attachment styles (Sakaluk, 2013), in order to explore the causal effects of attachment on condom use attitudes and behavior (Sakaluk & Gillath, 2015). In addition to my attachment-based research, I have initiated lines of research with collaborators that draw from perspectives such as conceptual metaphor theory (Landau, Meier, & Keefer, 2010), analogy (Gick & Holyoak, 1983), social comparison theory (Festinger, 1954), and shifting standards (Biernat & Mannis, 1994).
I regularly incorporate methods of advanced statistical analysis in my own research. I particularly enjoy using methods of latent variable analysis, including exploratory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling (including longitudinal approaches). When adopting these methods of analyses, I primarily rely on Mplus as my software of choice, but am moving more of my analyses into the R framework, using packages like lavaan, semTools, and simsem.
I have also developed a bourgeoning interest in meta-analysis. Although I have not yet published any meta-analytic reviews, I hope to make this a strong element of my research portfolio in the future. I have initiated two meta-analytic investigations, and have been learning how to use different R packages for meta-analysis, such as metasem (for a multilevel SEM approach to meta-analysis), and metafor (for fitting fixed, random, and mixed-effects models, plotting, etc.,).
Finally, beyond using advanced statistical analyses in my own research, I have recently initiated a number of meta-scientific projects, including a review of the use of exploratory factor analysis in sexuality research (Sakaluk & Short, 2016), and proposal for improving the accuracy of statistical reporting (Sakaluk, Williams, & Biernat, 2014), and the replicability of social psychological research (Sakaluk, 2015).

They are actively seeking what God's will is for their lives, and are willing to take a risk for the sake of Christ.

Bark House
I recently donated my idea of a gingerbread house to the Durango Arts Center on the ocassion of a fundraiser for the children's art program at the Center. The base was actual gingerbread and after gluing together the walls and roof, the house was covered with ponderosa pine bark, other tree bark, lichen, nature-altered papers, and porcupine quills. This house along with others is being auctioned off at the Center during December.

How does the team level work?
Posted by Brandon Marsh on 28 May 2015 05:22 PM
Team level works in the similar way as the player rank: win over other teams and get a position in the table. Rating points are calculated depending on team position, if your current rating points are enough, your team level goes up.
If your team is positioned below a team with lower level, you will lose points to this team. Therefore, you really need strong team members.

We had met his teacher, Mrs. Dobyns, the week before and got to see his super cool classroom, so he was really excited to get started. On the big day we all went together to see him off. It was a bit more of a madhouse than what we were used to since his last school was SO much smaller, but despite the hundreds (and hundreds) of people, everything was very well organized and the chaos was at a minimum. We parked across the street and walked up to his new digs.
We found where he was supposed to line up ad before we knew it, he was off to class. He was so brave. He didn't cling, cry, whine or even hesitate to follow his class inside. He had a great first day, and first week, doing a great job on all of his school work and making a couple new friends. He just loves being a Brisas Gecko. :)
The following week, Benny started Pre-K at North Phoenix Baptist Church. His teacher from last year, who he loved, moved up to Pre-K so Benny was super excited to have another year with Ms. Debbie. I'm sure it will be a great year for both of them!

Hi everyone,
Today I am talking about the Clinique Chubby Sticks rival, Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain. Basically they are a more moisturising formula than their old stains but have fantastic pigmentation and last for ages. The shade I bought was lovesick.
Lovesick, is a bright blue toned fuscia with a little bit of sparkle/shimmer which I think is showing up in the photo below. The formula for these stains are fantastic, they are really smooth and easy to apply and the pigmentation is brilliant.
On the lips they will not budge!! In boots I was swatching them on my hands and it took nearly three days for them to go completely. This bright fuscia will last all day and night and it is still visible the following morning. Nothing i've tried can fully remove it, makeup remover, cleanser or makeup wipes. It is super duper long wearing.
Overall, I love these lip products and would definitely consider expanding my colour range. However they are quite pricey for drugstore lip products costing £7.99 each.
Thanks for reading

(NAPSI)-When it comes to "free" online offers, it could pay for buyers to beware.
Deceptive marketing associated with a "negative option feature" can dupe consumers into a cycle of recurring payment for products or services they don't want. In fact, a recent Visa survey found that 29 percent of
How It Works
Consumers accept an offer online, often for a "free trial or sample" and don't realize they are actually agreeing to be billed monthly for future shipments. Often consumers are required to "unclick" or "opt out" of a prechecked terms and condition or payment authorization box to avoid being billed a recurring monthly charge at the end of the product's trial period. With negative option features, a company takes a consumer's failure to cancel as permission to continue billing. In some cases, the "opt out" disclosure to the consumer is buried in the fine print. Cancelling can also be complicated by merchants with poor customer service, slow response times and untimely refunds.
How To Avoid It
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Visa Inc. and Better Business Bureau (BBB) now work together to educate consumers about negative option marketing scams. They offer these tips:
• Read and understand all terms and conditions. Exercise caution when a purchase involves a free trial.
• Pay particular attention to any preclicked boxes before submitting payment card information for an order. Failure to unclick boxes may bind the consumer to all of those terms and conditions.
• Try to resolve the situation with the merchant. If unsuccessful, contact the card issuer immediately to dispute the charge.
• Always review credit and debit card statements on a regular basis for any unauthorized charges. Notify the card issuer promptly of any unusual activity or unauthorized charges.
• Report abusive practices to the FTC's complaint assistance center at the Web site www.ftc.gov/complaint. BBB also takes complaints at www.bbb.org and helps consumers resolve issues with merchants.

However the bodice had gaping around the armholes, which was a huge problem for me! Unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I had cut out and sewn the fashion fabric. I still muddled through and successfully removed a lot of (but not all) of the gaping. Enough for me to be able to wear this top comfortably. (This was definitely a test of my patience, I had to remove a lot of top stitching!)
There is also a side zipper included in the top which I felt was needed because of the fit of the bodice. I chose to use an invisible zipper.

LB's Madison Russell wins annual Gap Casting Call
2010-02-04 · By Editor
America has voted! The results are in. This morning, Gap revealed the four adorable, charismatic winners of its fourth annual Casting Call contest — including one from Long Beach.
Madison, 9, is one of the four new faces for Gap and will be featured in the nation-wide campaign starting today. Madison takes eight dance classes a week — everything from Tap, Ballet and Jazz to Hip Hop and Theater. When the dance shoes come off, she enjoys hanging out with friends and watching her brother play ice hockey.
Out of nearly one million entries, the next faces of babyGap and GapKids are:
- William McLaughlin, 11 months, from Medford, MA
- Shyenne Walker, 2, from Pembroke Pines, FL
- Sammy Isselhardt, 5, from Saratoga, CA
- Madison Russell, 9, from Long Beach, CA
"Thanks to the enthusiasm of the parents across the country, this year's contest was our biggest and most successful to date," said Pam Wallack, president of babyGap, GapKids and GapMaternity. "Our annual Casting Call contest is always one of our favorite events of the year and on behalf of the entire Gap family, I would like to congratulate William, Shyenne, Sammy and Madison for becoming the newest faces of babyGap and GapKids."
The winners will light up babyGap and GapKids store windows coast-to-coast starting today in a campaign featuring Gap's iconic arch logo hoodie in bright springtime hues.
Shot in San Francisco, the campaign shows each winner wearing the arch logo hoodie in different ways—hood up, hood down, zipped, unzipped, etc. The collection comes in a bright palette of colors like pixie green, ruby red, comet blue and royal fuchsia priced from $25 to $29.50.
From Sept. 22 to Oct. 22, parents across the country uploaded photos of their babies and kids at gap.com/castingcall. Judges then narrowed down the pool of nearly one million entrants to 20 finalists—10 babies (ages four and under) and 10 kids (ages five to 10). The finalists were announced in early December and it was up to America to cast their vote.
"Disney Family.com was thrilled to host this year's Casting Call for the Gap. It was deeply satisfying to enable parents to share their beautiful children with us and to help them activate their social networks for fan voting. The viral activity generated by this was stunning," stated Emily Smith, vice president, Disney Online Mom and Family Portfolio.
The four winners of this year's Casting Call—William, Shyenne, Sammy and Madison—will be featured in the windows of babyGap and GapKids stores from coast-to-coast and receive other incredible prizes from Gap and Disney Family.com including a $1,000 Gap gift card and a Disney on Broadway package in New York or Las Vegas for a two-night VIP Lion King experience.

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) joined the Senate in late 2012 and immediately made domestic and international climate change issues a top priority. Bloomberg BNA reporters Anthony Adragna and Dean Scott sat down with Schatz April 22 to discuss how the freshman senator hopes to elevate the issue in the Senate and why he's optimistic President Barack Obama's climate agenda will survive opposition by the Republican-led Congress.
Schatz acknowledged there is little hope in the near-term for moving broad climate legislation but is confident Democrats could sustain a presidential veto of Republican proposals to roll back actions, including carbon pollution limits for power plants, and said there are between 60 and 70 "grown-ups" in the Senate who recognize the need for U.S. action and for the president to be able to use his executive authority to reach international agreements.
Democrats "wouldn't have expected anything less" from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in attacking Obama's climate agenda on all fronts, Schatz said.
The interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Bloomberg BNA:
Starting more generally, what do you think the Democratic Party strategy should be on an issue like climate change in the Senate, and do you see opportunities to go on the offensive rather than just defending gains?
Brian Schatz:
There are a couple of tracks here. We're going to be able to move public opinion and have public opinion impact the likely disposition of this issue more quickly than we could simply wrangle the votes as an inside-out strategy. I think this is more similar to gay rights and immigration in terms of the Congress having to catch up with the American public than it is to an issue that hinges on some legislative strategy.
[We're focused on] keeping the drum beat up and making sure that people understand that the American public is substantially on the right side of history but also moving relatively quickly; even the Republican Party voters are moving relatively quickly. And we've seen progress even over the last several months.
One [strategy] is to continue the drum beat and make sure we increase the pressure outside-in. The other is, as a legislative matter, the next legislative fight is going to be on the [Congressional Review Act] and the Clean Power Plan. That is the next moment in time where we'll have a real legislative battle. My own view is that we will win. Whether we win by being able to sustain a veto or preventing a CRA legislative vehicle from reaching the president's desk, we will win.
And once that is disposed of, then I think there are some reasonable Republicans who are going to be more willing to have a conversation about energy policy. And, for years, Republicans said we ought not to do very much on climate because, after all, China and India were not moving with us. And now they are saying we ought not to do very much in the international space and they even want to subject what will be an agreement and not a treaty to Senate approval.
So, I think we have to support the prerogatives of the administration as they go to Paris, and we have to convey to the international community that the United States is not just willing to lead but capable of leading in this space.
Bloomberg BNA:
A natural follow-up to that is why not subject whatever comes from Paris to Senate review?
Brian Schatz:
Because it's not a treaty. Flat out. The Constitution prescribes what is subject to Senate approval, and if you subject every international agreement to Senate approval, you'd have a lot fewer international agreements. And you would disable the United States from leading on the world stage because you would have every committee and subcommittee chair interfering with every matter of national security or diplomatic policy.
My own view is it's a dangerous precedent. Certainly we have an oversight role, but we do not have the authority to approve or disapprove of individual agreements. We need a secretary of state and we need a secretary of defense in some instances, and we certainly need a president with a free hand to be able to interact with other foreign leaders in a credible way. And, if the Congress is always interfering, I think history has shown that the legislative branch doesn't always do the adult thing.
That's the policy reason. The legal reason is because it's not a treaty.
Bloomberg BNA:
So it's not a matter of being afraid of what the result would be if there was a vote on the international agreement?
That's also a real concern. The Congress could undermine any agreement because the Congress has demonstrated it's not capable—yet—of leading on climate policy. But there is movement among moderate Republicans, and it started with moderate Republican voters, and it is now seeping into moderate Republican elected officials, where they're realizing they can't stay on the wrong side of history forever.
I don't have any illusions about how quickly that will happen or how many members of the Republican conference we have now, but we have seen pretty good movement in a relatively short period of time because they all go home and they listen to their voters who see climate change is real and it's caused by human activity. And [the voters] believe that we ought to take control of our future rather than do nothing about one of the greatest challenges of our generation.
Did President Obama weaken his hand, though, in the international sphere when he agreed to a compromise role for Congress in reviewing the Iran nuclear agreement? That sort of opened the door to the argument that if the political pressure is strong enough, he might be willing to allow Congress to review an agreement. [Note: Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) reached a bipartisan agreement April 14 that would allow Congress to weigh in on a negotiated nuclear framework with Iran.]
My own view of the Iran compromise is that it was brilliantly negotiated between Corker and Cardin. But, in the end, all it does is clarify authorities that reside in the legislative branch anyway. What we did was set up a process for oversight, and my own view is that it was unnecessary because we have committees for that, and we have authorities under the Constitution for that. I don't think it's much more than a reiteration of the authorities that Congress already has and an articulation of a specific process to go forward, but it didn't change the balance of power in terms of our proper oversight role.
But, it would be improper to subject an international agreement or require any international agreement be approved by the Congress. That's not how these things go.
Bloomberg BNA:
Among the Democratic caucus in the Senate, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) has taken a leading role on climate change with expertise in the science, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) has been active on climate change internationally, as examples. What do you see as your role, and what would you like to accomplish on this issue?
Brian Schatz:
First of all, I'm trying to build a team. Part of my role is to invite new members to the fold when it comes to prioritizing climate and to continue to 'mainstream' this issue. To continue to articulate that this is about the American economy, this is about the American way of life and that this isn't just for people who care deeply about conservation and the environment, although that was the beginning of the movement.
In order to get to the kind of majority in the Congress that will eventually take action, we need mainstream Democrats and mainstream Republicans to understand that this is a national security issue, this is a farming issue, this is a shipping issue, this is a geopolitical issue. I, frankly, think we have somewhere between 60 and 70 grown-ups in the Senate who actually get it, but we now have to develop the political capital so they can do the right thing and survive it.
Bloomberg BNA:
In terms of building that coalition or alliance, how do you keep some of these coal state Democrats from abandoning the party on some of these tough votes on regulations or on broader issues like climate change?
Brian Schatz:
Well, we don't have any deniers in our caucus. We have people who have expressed concerns about the rapidity of the Clean Power Plan or about how it's being administered or that they feel that it is unfair to their home states, but we don't have anybody who denies that climate change is a reality.
I don't think we're going to be unanimous in our conference on CRA, and I think frankly the quicker we get through that, the quicker we can start to talk about what the solution set is in terms of legislation. CRA is going to be what it is but we, frankly, don't need to hold 60 votes. We need to hold enough to sustain a veto, and we're quite confident there.
Bloomberg BNA:
What do you make of this approach being advocated by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that states "just say no" to the Clean Power Plan and not comply with it? And what would you tell any governors who may be considering that advice?
Brian Schatz:
I don't think it's supported by the law. And I'm quite confident that states' attorneys general and even public utility commissions and utilities are seeing it that way, too. They don't have the flexibility that Leader McConnell is perhaps wishing that they had. I think we disagree in terms of the authority that these states have to ignore the Clean Air Act.
Bloomberg BNA:
Is it a responsible position for a leader in a major political party to be taking? To simply say ignore this federal regulation?
Brian Schatz:
It's fair to say that Leader McConnell is going to exercise every bit of authority that he has. And, in this instance because he's the leader of the Senate majority and he has his view, we wouldn't expect anything less. He will explore every avenue and use every tactic, but I think this is one area where we agree: We wouldn't have expected anything less from him.
Bloomberg BNA:
At least Sen. Whitehouse has said the Republican nominee for the 2016 presidential election will have to acknowledge the impact of human activity on climate change. Do you agree with that?
Brian Schatz:
I can't predict the nomination—that's for sure—but I do think the Republican nomination process is likely to result in nearly all of them taking unreasonable positions on this. Even for voters that don't wake up in the morning thinking about climate change and wanting to take action, there's still this sense that you don't want your presidential candidate to have their head in the sand on a major issue. You don't want your candidate to stand against modernity, learning, science, taking responsible action. It's going to be a touchstone issue. It may not top, necessarily, any list of priority items, but it becomes disqualifying if your nominee just isn't reasonable when it comes to these things. So I think they become subject to not looking ready for prime time in terms of leading the free world.
Bloomberg BNA:
You mentioned positive momentum in the last couple of months as several Republicans have acknowledged the human role in climate change during a series of Senate votes. Why do you see those votes as significant, and how do you sustain that momentum?
Brian Schatz:
It's clear that the Republicans have gone from wanting to play offense on energy questions to being absolutely defensive on energy and climate. And I think that started during the Keystone debate. It's fair to say [voting against Keystone] was not, for national Democrats, terra firma—for some of us it was not a problem—but for others it caused some consternation and anxiety, but by the end of it we had made Keystone a subset of the climate conversation rather than climate a subset of the Keystone conversation.
We've been relentless, we've been strategic and the group is growing. And I think the main reason we're seeing some success is because we're right and the American people see that.
Bloomberg BNA:
So should we look for legislation this year? What's the Senate Climate Change Clearinghouse doing?
Brian Schatz:
A couple of members are working legislation, but we want to be realistic about what could actually gather 60 votes. I think the next legislative battles are CRA and making sure the U.S. is able to lead on the international stage.

A father in China has taken a unique approach to curing his son's gaming addiction: by hiring in-game assassins. Mr. Feng had enough of his 23-year-old son's obsession with gaming, and the move was his last resort.
Xiao Feng started playing video games when he was in high school, according to his father. The gaming became an addiction at some point, and his grades began to drop. The frustrated father explains that the obsession carried on past the teen years, and now Xiao is having problems securing employment due to his gaming addiction.
Out of desperation, Feng devised a plan to deter his son's obsessive gaming. He logged onto Xiao's favorite game and sought to hire in-game assassins to hunt down and kill his son — repeatedly. The idea was to hire players with higher rankings and abilities than Xiao,who would track him down and kill his character every time he logged on to the game. As reported by Kotaku, the father hoped his son would become bored and find more constructive ways to spend his time.
Xiao's response to his father's plan was not encouraging. He is quoted as saying:
"I can play or I can not play, it doesn't bother me. I'm not looking for any job—I want to take some time to find one that suits me."
Mr. Feng is not the only parent concerned with a child's internet and gaming addiction. According to video-game-addiction.org, up to 10 percent of internet users could be considered addicted. However, there is caution against using the term "addiction":
"Some mental health professionals balk at using that term in a clinical sense. They argue that an activity can only be addictive when it causes a certain type of chemical reaction in the brain, and that's hard to determine."
Concern about gaming addiction does not have to be dealt with by hiring in-game assassins. The abovementioned organization offers several options for concerned parents.

Nokia launches the Nokia 108, a $29 basic camera phone
Earlier today, Nokia announced the launch of a new, very budget friendly camera phone that comes equipped with everything you need for talking, texting, and taking photos. The new Nokia 108 comes equipped with a small LCD, a number pad, and a VGA camera for just $29.
Taking cues from its Lumia line of smartphones, Nokia has given the 108 colorful cases to match your personal style. Additional features include an FM radio, MP3 player, microSD slot for storing up to 32GB of music or photos, and a built in LED flashlight. And for those who are feeling nostalgic, the old school Snake game we all grew up loving is present as well.
A dual SIM and single SIM version of the 108 is expected to ship during the fourth quarter of this year and will be initially available in black, red, and white, with cyan and yellow following shortly thereafter. No information was released on which carriers might feature the phone in their lineups, but we can expect at least a few of them to offer the phone as a free option to those who do not want an expensive smartphone.
