I admit it. I have a shopping problem. It all started when I became an adolescent and wanted to wear fashionable clothing that fit me. The stores rarely had anything and when I found something that looked good and fit my size 18 body I was so excited that I bought it regardless of whether I actually needed it or not. This led to a mighty full closet over the years. I give a lot of my excess clothing away but some of it is really up to date and in excellent condition and I have decided trying to pass some of it along through the internet and sell it. Which of course will give me more money for more clothes. It's win win I would say.
Although it is a bit easier to find cute plus sized clothing, its still a bit of a treasure hunt. Larger sizes in the really cute stuff sell out really quickly and often items do not go on deep discount like regular sized clothing does. I am hoping that by sharing my finds, I can help women like me build a wardrobe of fashionable, reasonably priced clothing that fits them. Game On!

Eastenders: Exploiting The Eastender Teens Part 1 (Mf,oral,anal)
by MikeTheMaster ([email protected])
Tony smiled as Whitney unzipped his jeans then stared nervously at the huge,
erect organ that immediately popped out. Bianca had decided to take the
younger kids out for tea leaving her lecherous partner with the perfect
opportunity to spend some quality time with his sexy step daughter. Bianca's
stupidity never failed to amaze the evil Tony and he wondered if the red head
would ever question why Whitney always wanted to stay home if Tony was going to
be in. He had wasted no time in heading up to Whitney's bedroom and was
now nodding expectantly at her as she broke into a smile then began to jerk
him gently at first then with increased pace, her handjob skills improving all
the time thanks to their regular sessions in her room.
Tony was proud of how much he had corrupted they oungster in the short time he
was with Bianca, she had been reluctant at first but always curious and it
hadn't taken him long to groom her into doing almost everything he wanted. "Now
suck it" he murmured through approving gasps and nodded down to the bulging cock
Whitney was always a bit nervous giving her step dad blowjobs as he was so big
it often choked her but she wanted to keep him happy and bobbed down taking as
much as she could between her ruby red lips. She was still learning t he nuances
of giving good head, Tony coaching her everytime they were al one together, and
his satisfied gasps as he held her head in place so she couldn't pull away as
he reached climax suggested she was satisfying him tonight.
"Fucking hell yeah" he grunted "that's it...you're dad's little slut these days
aint ye? Now dad's gonna do something for you."
Whitney smiled, despite being pressed against Tony's crotch and bracing herself
for him coming in her mouth or on her face, she knew what to expect.
While she continued to suck and brought him to an inevitabley sticky and violent
climax he reached over and pushed her short school skirt up over her pert little
ass, quickly lowered her white panties. He ran his hands over her milky white
ass cheeks then began to rub her pink, untouched anus roughly, letting two
fingers find their way into her thickly matted pussy lips and jabbing them in
and out hard as the already soaking wet teen let out muffled squeals. She
suddenly panicked and tried to pull away as Tony pushed almost all of his cock
down her throat and prepared to climax.
"Stop being a fucking baby!" Tony snarled, refusing to let go of her head "Do
you wanna make me happy or not?"
He finished fingering her, leaving the teen sore and soaking wet between her
legs then shot his thick, creamy load down her throat, pulled his cock out of
her mouth and deposited the remaining semen on her face. He shook his head as
his step daughter wiped the come from her pretty face and dark hair then started
to weep.
"You know it hurts me Tony, why do you have to be so rough?" she said tearfully.
"Just shut it, get on your back and spread ye legs." An angry Tony snapped.
Whitney wiped her eyes and the remainder of Tony's body fluids then shook her
head. "I told you I ain't ready for you to fuck me Tony." Whitney said, dreading
what would follow.
Tony foul temper immediately erupted, "For fucks sake, I thought you wanted me
to think of you as a grown up Whitney but everytime I give you the chance to
show me you're a real woman you won't do it. A man expects to be able to fuck
his woman, I'm starting to think you're not mature enough for me."
Whitney broke into tears, "Oh no please don't say that Tony, I'll be ready soon
I promise."
Tony got up, put his come covered cock back in his pants and shook his head.
"Maybe I'll go find myself a lass who is ready to be with a real man." He said
grinning wickedly, he knew exactly how to push his step daughter's buttons.
Whitney started to sob and grabbed Tony's arm to stop him leaving "Please don't
go Tony!"
Tony shoved her back on to the bed and left her crying as he headed out of the
house, unsure where he was going but sure his craving for young pussy wasn't
over that night.
* * *
Tony sat on a bench in the gardens for a while, cooling off and thinking about
his next move. He knew there was no way Whitney would tell people what they had
been up to and he could pretty much treat her how he wanted then still get his
cock sucked but he was desperate to get inside that tight teen pussy of hers
and it frustrated him that she wouldn't give it up, his lust for young girls
burned away constantly and he knew that if he didn't fuck Whitney tonight he
would have to satisfy himself somewhere else. He looked around the square and
suddenly noticed the lights on in Beale's Plaice, the fish shop. He looked
closer and could see that Ian Beale's coquettish teenage daughter Lucy was
behind the counter and apparently all on her own. He grinned to himself and
decided it was too good an opportunity to pass up, jumping up from the bench
and heading over.
"We're closing in a minute." Lucy said as Tony entered, in her usual blunt tone
"And I aint got no fish left if that's what your after."
Tony smiled and stared at the blonde, beautiful teenager for a moment. Her
nubile body currently far too covered up by the white overall she was
using. "That's alright love, I'll take whatever you can offer." Tony said
continuing to grin.
Lucy broke into a smile, detecting the flirtation in Tony's tone. She loved
older men and had thought he was good looking since he had arrived on the
square. "Well I'll have to see what I can do for you won't I?" she said
"Your dad's a brave man leaving a pretty young thing like you all on your own in
here, get all sorts coming in here." Tony said knowingly.
"Yeah well I'm old enough to look after myself...big girl now" Lucy retorted.
"That right is it?" Tony said Lucy nodded and they stared deeply into each
others eyes for a moment, sexual tension hanging heavy in the air.
A wild child, Lucy was already reasonably experience and keen to learn more
about sex, especially with a good looking older man like Tony. "Well I need to
close up now so do you know what you want?" she continued.
She smiled as Tony turned and closed then locked the door then looked back at
her. "Oh yeah, I think I do." He said.
Lucy's pussy was churning now and she instinctively pushed the flap on the
counter up so Tony could come behind and get at her. Within seconds he had
pushed the teenager against a wall in the back room to ensure they were out of
sight and was showering her with passionate kisses. Lucy was no shrinking violet
and responded by plunging her eager tongue into his mouth and running her hands
over his jean covered ass.
Tony quickly stripped Lucy of her overall, tight top and skinny jeans then
broke off from their kiss to take a moment to savor her superb teenage body
in gossard bra and thong. Lucy had beautiful, developing breasts and a peach
of an ass which she unflinchingly allowed Tony to explore as he pushed down
her bra and suckled on her pert breasts and erect nipples then ripped off her
thong to give unhindered access to the tight cunt, barely covered by blonde
hairs and perfect ass. He was impressed by how relaxed and slutty Lucy was,
allowing him to poke, prod and nibble on everything he wanted without a murmur
and even taking the proactive steps of a little cock hungry whore that Whitney
would never dare do.
"Get ye cock out" she grunted as he continued to explore her naked body,
fiddling with his belt, unzipping his jeans and pulling them down the allowing
him to step out of them before ripping his boxer shorts away from him then
starting for a moment goggle eyed at his cock, the biggest she had ever seen.
Tony grinned broke off from poking Lucy as she licked her lips with anticipation
then could took his sweatshirt off and run her hands over his manly chest.
"You're gorgeous Tony. And oh my god this is amazing." She breathed as she took
hold of his cock.
Lucy needed no encouragement to rub and play with his bulging cock then bob down
and take it into her mouth. Tony grinned as she swallowed up almost all of his
cock without him having to encourage or hold her unlike his step daughter who
was starting to look frigid by comparison. He shook his head and chuckled as he
thought of pompous Ian Beale's face if he knew his fifteen year old daughter
was a dirty, cock hungry whore who he suspected would let him do anything he
wanted to her. His suspicions were confirmed when after what seemed an eternity
of the most skillful, perfectly judged sucking from Lucy he felt himself about
to come for the second time that evening.
He decided that as it was their first time and young girls were sometimes
sensitive about these things he had better give her fair warning. "I'm about to
come." He said.
Lucy looked up and let his bulging penis drop out of her mouth for a moment.
"And? Just fucking get on with it, I wanna taste your sperm." She said before
returning to her expert stimulation of his cock.
Tony had known some slutty girls in his time but Lucy was something else and the
level of her debauchery was enough to make him shoot the thickest, stickiest
load of his life. He genuinely worried that the beautifal young girl might choke
for a second but she seemed unfazed and swallowed it all down before continuing
to suck his cock for a moment then letting it drop out and savoring the after
come that sprayed on her pretty face and into her blonde, bobbed hair.
"Mmm, I love come" she said blowing bubbles with his semen for a moment before
swallowing the last of it down.
"Fucking hell, you're one dirty bitch. If you were my daughter...." Tony began.
Lucy smiled mischievously "You'd fuck me?" She giggled as Tony looked startled
for a second. "Whitney confided in me...stupid cow." She said "I'd be hoping I
might catch your eye sooner or later."
"Fucking hell, that stupid cow. I'll kill her." Tony raged and stared at Lucy
for a second who continued to grin wickedly. He advanced on her, backing her
into a corner again and grabbed her by the throat. "You say a word Lucy and
you're dead." He snarled. He was amazed to see that the naked teenager wasn't
remotely fazed and actually seemed to enjoy him being so rough.
"Relax." She murmured "I aint gonna say nothing." She looked down at his still
fully erect cock then back up at him "So come on then...show me what a man you
are, fuck me."
"You're gonna let me put it in ye?" He said, still struggling to believe what a
slut the girl was proving to be.
"Course...I'm gagging for it." She replied spreading her legs slightly and
rubbing her already soggy snatch.
"I should put a condom on or something." Tony said "I've fucked a lot of sluts
and we don't want you getting preggers."
A frustrated Lucy stopped frigging herself and grabbed his cock "Just fuck me.
I'll get rid of it if you knock me up and I've fucked all sorts. I don't like
Tony needed no further invitation and pressed Lucy's slender frame against the
wall, sliding his cock inside her as she wrapped her legs round him. For a
moment he couldn't quite believe he was having unprotected sex with a gorgeous
teenage girl but he soon forgot that and fucked her within an inch of her life
while the little bitch taunted him.
"Come on Tony...I thought you were gonna show me what a big man you are. Is that
the best you can do? FUCK ME MAN!"
In reality Lucy was having the time of her life and despite the pain of his huge
penis, thrust ever more agressively inside her as she taunted him, it was the
most memorable of her many sexual experiences since she had become active a
couple of years earlier. After bringing the teenager to a series of ever more
intense orgasms that made her squeal with delight and beg for more an exhausted
Tony eventually pulled out and tried to get his breath. He looked over at Lucy
to find she had turned round and was now rubbing her perfect ass against his
come covered cock to bring his erection back.
"I've never had it in my arse...I want you to be my first." She said coolly.
Tony could hardly believe his ears, none of the little sluts he had seduced over
the years ha d been willing to let him go this far, it was a dream come true.
"You sure...it'll hurt." He replied.
"Why do you think I want it?" Lucy said smiling.
Tony grinned back and plunged two fingers into her tight, brown anus for a
moment making her murmur with delight then pulling them out and replacing them
his big cock. Lucy quickly screamed with agony and delight.
"Fucking hell yeah...that's amazing." She gasped as the older man began to
pump her perfect ass and groped her tits.
"You dirty little whore...there's nout you won't do is there?" he snarled, his
contempt only serving to bring her to an even higher level of ecstacy.
"Fucking right...I'm a proper nasty little slut." She responded as he continued
to jab the swollen organ in and out of her.
Eventually even the hardcore Lucy could take no more and Tony was too exhausted
to fuck her anymore. They sat in the back room, a naked and sweaty heap laughing
at the frenzied session and poor Whitney sat back at home oblivious to what had
gone on.
"She does my head in...why can't she be more like you?" Tony said.
Lucy smiled "Nobody is as much of a slut as me." Lucy replied, rubbing her sore
pussy and licking the pussy juices that ran from the tips of her fingers.
Tony looked at her for a moment and began to formulate a new filthy plan "Yeah I
bet you could teach her a thing or two alright." He said Lucy smiled at him, her
pussy starting to churn again.
"What you after now?" she said curiously.
"How about we get dressed and pay young Whitney a visit before Bianca gets
back?" Tony said grinning wickedly.
Lucy smiled back and nodded.
* * *
Whitney quickly dabbed her red, puffy eyes, adjusted her make up then padded
downstairs as she heard Tony come in and call up to her. As she walked
downstairs she considered what she was going to say to him to make things
alright again, maybe if she talked dirty or sucked his cock again he would be
nice to her.
"Oh Tony I'm so glad you came back, I was..." the teenager broke off as she
stepped into the living room to find Tony sitting on the couch grinning and
running his fingers through Lucy's blonde hair as she sucked his cock. Lucy also
looked up, fixing her blue eyes on Whitney.
"I invited Lucy round...I think it's time you two got to know each other
better..." Tony said.

Teeth of the Sea: Highly Deadly Black Tarantula (Rocket Recordings, 2015)January 5, 2016 at 9:05 pm | Posted in Reviews | Leave a comment
This London-based group formed after witnessing a Wolf Eyes gig, which tells you part of what they sound like, but only a small piece. There's harsh noise and shrieking industrial vocals, yes, but there's also horns and spaghetti western guitars, as well as minimalist Krautrock rhythms. "All My Venom" slowly builds up to acid rock guitars, deranged mariachi horns, thudding industrial beats, and crazed screaming. "Animal Manservant" starts with another jackhammering industrial beat and more screaming, but then develops brassy '80s soundtrack synths. "Field Punishment" is more of a sparse, trippy techno track, but with more cinematic guitars and horns joining the pulsating electro beats and synths. "Have You Ever Held a Bird of Prey" begins with 4 minutes of near silence before an electronic pulse and jagged guitars come in. Subliminal voices whisper underneath the hypnotic throbbing for the remainder of the track. "Phonogene" is a short interlude of scrambled, skipping voices, and the 11-minute epic "Love Theme For 1984" ends the album, slowly building up acoustic guitars and Boards Of Canada-like synths, before more echo-drenched horns and guitars build up and die down, with the track's final two minutes dissipating into space. A really stunning album which truly sounds like nothing else, and yet somehow the "psychedelic" tag still fits.

By James Paterson, Education Dive
Two of the leading learning management system companies are cutting ties after a six-year partnership — a split that Inside Higher Education reported was likely "messy." U.S.-based Blackboard and Australia's Moodle separately announced the end to the partnership, which will mean that Blackboard won't use the Moodle name in the future, but its Moodlerooms product will be maintained. Inside Higher Education reported it was a "bold move" for Moodle to strike out on its own, although Blackboard reported it had taken the action. It said it refused to renew Moodle's contract, in part because Moodle was prioritizing separate partnerships that allowed clients to self-host rather than work with Blackboard's Moodlerooms. Moodle CEO Martin Dougiamas said the partnership had been "awkward" and "uncomfortable" from the start.

; Gensym is one of the important tools in the Lisp languages. It is
; function that returns variable. The point is - each time it is called
; it returns different variable. Gensym is typically used if one
; wants to avoid accidental name clashes while defining macros, but
; it is not its sole use.
; Newlisp has not gensym yet, but it is easy to make one. One example
; can be seen in Jeff Ober's article In defense of Newlisp, and it
; is also included in his Util library. His implementation supports
; contexts, and since I do not need contexts in this article, I'll
; define another gensym, slightly simpler, but not without some charm.
(set 'gensym-counter 0)
(set 'gensym
(inc gensym-counter)
(sym (append (string i)
" ("
(string gensym-counter)
". generated symbol)"))))
; Let us see how variables generated by our gensym look like:
(for(j 1 5)
(println (gensym 'i)))
; Output:
; i (1. generated symbol)
; i (2. generated symbol)
; i (3. generated symbol)
; i (4. generated symbol)
; i (5. generated symbol)
; The blanks and parentheses - all that is the part of the generated
; symbol. I defined such symbol name intentionally, because it is
; impossible to accidentally use such name in programs; it must be
; generated during runtime. Also, these names are pretty descriptive,
; so they can be useful in debugging.
; I'll say that, for example, i (1. generated symbol) - is generated
; symbol that used symbol i as its base. It might have sense.
; Once generated, symbols are elements of the symbols-table until
; explicitly deleted. It is an implementation detail. Although not
; important for normal symbols, there might be millions of generated
; symbols, and it might be good to delete generated symbols immidietely
; when theye are not needed any more.
(for (j 1 3)
(set 'v (gensym 'j))
(println v)
(delete v))
; Topic I'd try to adress here is how to define "generated" versions
; of let and local, so programmer can write:
; (genlet ((i 1)
; (j 2))
; (println 'i "= " i ", " 'j "= " j))
; While in fact, not ordinary symbols i and j are used inside
; of the genlet expression, but their gensymed versions. It is
; relatively easy to accomplish it by using powerful letex
; expression:
(letex ((i (gensym 'i))
(j (gensym 'j)))
(let ((i 1)
(j 2))
(println 'i "= " i ", " 'j "= " j)))
; letex will literally replace i and j with "generated versions"
; in the inner let expression and then evaluate such, mutated inner
; expression.
; Output is:
; i (9. generated symbol)= 1, j (10. generated symbol)= 2
; As it can be seen, really, not i and j, but their "gensymed"
; versions are actually used. Each time this block is evaluated,
; different version is used.
; However, it becomes more complicated if I want to delete
; generated symbols. And I must do that, because if gensym is
; in some large loop, it could easily generate millions of symbols,
; and finally exhaust memory.
(letex ((i (gensym 'i))
(j (gensym 'j)))
(first (list (let ((i 1)
(j 2))
(println 'i "= " i ", " 'j "= " j)))
(begin (delete 'i)
(delete 'j)))))
; With this construction I ensure that inner let expression is
; evaluated, after that gensymed variables are deleted, and finally,
; the result of the inner let expression is returned as result.
; This is how macro that "expands" into expression above looks
; like. I'll use wherex, which is inverse letex I defined few
; posts earlier, so I'll load my library from Internet. The
; definition of genlet is technical and not very interesting,
; so you can skip it.
(load "http://www.instprog.com/Instprog.default-library.lsp")
(set 'genlet
(let ((body (args)))
(letex H1
(first (list (let H2
; where
((H1 (map (lambda(x)
(list (nth 0 x)
(list 'gensym
(list 'quote (nth 0 x)))))
(H2 head)
(H3 (cons 'begin body))
(H4 (cons 'begin (map (lambda(x)
(list 'delete
(list 'quote
(nth 0 x))))
; Does it work?
(genlet ((i 1)
(j 2))
(println 'i "= " i ", " 'j "= " j))
; Output:
; (13. generated symbol)= 1, j (14. generated symbol)= 2
; It works.
; And what happens if I do something like
(genlet ((i 1))
(genlet ((i 2))
(println 'i "= " i))
(println 'i "= " i))
; Output:
; i (15. generated symbol) (16. generated symbol)= 2
; i (15. generated symbol)= 1
; What is
; i (15. generated symbol) (16. generated symbol)?
; It is generated symbol, that uses for its basis generated symbol
; i (15. generated symbol), that uses i for its basis symbol i.
; Another test:
(println= (genlet ((i 7))
(genlet ((j 8))
(* i j))))
; Output:
; (genlet ((i 7)) (genlet ((j 8)) (* i j)))=56;
; Again, everything works.
; If you do have problems with understanding this code, don't
; let this discourage you. It is really complicated, and it is
; enough to remember that some genlet is defined here - and come
; back if you find you might need it.
; Next time - genlocal!
Gensym and Genlet.

Quarterly Beverage Tracker Second Quarter 2016: Argentina; Comprehensive Quarterly Analysis of Year on Year Performance for All Commercial Beverages
The contractive economic scenario in Argentina had a strong negative impact on general consumption, and the ACB market was not able to dodge the blow. Virtually all categories contracted, with the most dynamic ones falling at aggressive rates such as nectars and flavored waters. The cooler weather and an early winter was the main hindrance for the expansion of the beverage industry.
Key Findings
Carbonates were the biggest losers once more. The reasons behind boosting the fall for carbonates were mainly negative macroeconomic situation and bad publicity received by the category regarding health issues
Bulk/HOD water has managed to be among the categories that were least affected because this category has offered very affordable price per liter
In line with the beverage industry as a whole, the alcoholic drinks segment also experienced a drop in volume during Q2-16, continuing the negative trend shown from the beginning of the year
Dairy drinks consumption dropped to a minimum, as the purchasing power in Argentina keeps losing strength
Canadean's Argentina Quarterly Beverage Tracker Q2-16 covering soft drinks, dairy drinks, hot drinks and alcoholic drinks is an essential tool for keeping up-to-date with the latest industry performance and developments on a quarterly basis, covering:
Topline consumption volumes for Q2-2016 vs. Q2-2015, moving annual totals (MAT) and latest 2016 forecasts for all beverage categories
Carbonates consumption data for Q2-2016 vs. Q2-2015, moving annual totals (MAT) and latest 2016 forecasts split by regular vs. low calorie, and key flavor
An economic mood indicator with an at a glance assessment of industry confidence levels, Private Label performance vs. brands and price trends
Insightful and valuable analysis of the drivers behind the latest quarterly trends and assumptions for full year 2016

text: Hi, I just picked up a droid x 2 days ago and I'm in love.. a nice change of pace from my old treowx but there's one problem.. MP3s and AVIs have run fine, but eventually, i'll get "sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file." for the mp3s and and "Error, file cannot be displayed or played" for the avis. I haven't installed any new media players on my droid yet - so these are the pre-installed applications throwing the errors. If I power it off and on, it works again... I have installed other apps/games from the marketplace, but nothing unusual.. i searched and found another post about this from August, but no solution. Any ideas? thanks for reading! Patty

4001 A.D. Chronicles: VALIANT's WAR MOTHER Comes Down a FURY ROAD
Halfway through its 4001 A.D. summer event, Valiant releases another one-shot this week that seeks to explore the burned-out world existing below the futuristic New Japan orbiting Earth and pummeling it with debris in the wake of Father's battle with Rai. Helmed by Fred Van Lente and Tomas Giorello, 4001 A.D.: War Mother #1 introduces readers to a new character, Ana - the War Mother -whom readers will get to know more about in the coming months.
Newsarama spoke with Van Lente to get a little background on this take-character character, how the issue fits within the scope of this summer's event, and what else he and Giorello have in store for readers.
Newsarama: Looking at the solicits for 4001 AD: War Mother #1 and the five-page preview, I can't help but see some strong parallels here to Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. Was this something playing around in the back of your mind as this story came together?
Fred Van Lente: Probably, to a certain degree. I've seen the movie around seven times now and it's a huge influence. There are as many differences as there are similarities, but it's hard not to be affected by something as striking as Fury Road.
Nrama: So, what is it about Furiosa and the character model she establishes that is so compelling for you?
Van Lente: Well, you know, like everything else in Fury Road, there's very little dialogue and backstory to Furiosa beyond the barest of basics. She's idealistic, but very pragmatic, in pursuit of what she sees as right, yet she's unsentimental. As the name War Mother implies, our hero Ana has a dissonant combination of ruthlessness and compassion that makes her really fascinating. She does get more lines though! [laughs]
Nrama: As a writer, what new areas is War Mother's story allowing you to explore?
Van Lente: Obviously this is part of the larger 4001 A.D. event, and the fall of New Japan—or at least certain segments of it—have fallen to different parts of Earth. In this instance, a huge sector has dropped into the Breath of Jade, which is this verdant area on what used to be the Colombia/Brazil border where everything, and I mean everything, is alive. And inclined to eat you.
Ana is the main scavenger ("scav") for her tribe, and heads out to grab the fallen tech for her tribe before her competitors. But she discovers something there that challenges basically everything she's been taught is right, and faces her with a thorny moral dilemma—that all spells high drama, baby!
Nrama: Is there any particular aspect of War Mother you are finding more challenging than other titles you've written – either at Valiant or beyond?
Van Lente: Just the very nature of a one-shot, even a slightly over-sized one like this, makes it a challenge to introduce a brand new character, her allies, and her world so quickly. But I think we've done a pretty good job, if I do say so myself...
Nrama: Shifting gears a bit, let's peel back the curtain behind Valiant HQ: How exactly did this book come to life?
Van Lente: Valiant wanted to explore other aspects of 4001 A.D. Earth, beyond Asia and North America, so doing something in South America seemed like a natural choice.
Nrama: Joining you on art will be Tomas Giorello. Can you talk about working with Tomas – what's the process look like and how different do you find it from working with other artists at Valiant Entertainment?
Van Lente: Anyone who's seen his art has fallen in love with it. Tomas is just blowing it out of the water with the book, which has a lot of challenging design to it. He is just creating a whole new world before your eyes, and it's just spectacular.
Nrama: Looking at the story itself, we understand that while the Earth is in pretty bad shape during the 41st Century, it's clearly not totally uninhabitable. We see a mix of humans as well as another race, the Sylvans. Who are they -- and can you give us a little background about them?
Van Lente: They are humanoid extensions of the Grove itself, which is the biometric tower that Ana defends. They assist humans in their survival, but what happens when the interests of Sylvans and humans diverge? That's where our story begins...
Nrama: We're told that 4001 A.D.: War Mother is going to be a standalone tale, but what's the likelihood this grows into something else?
Van Lente: If I were a betting man, I'd say highly likely...

LIMA — Black light, bright neon colors and an electronic dance beat filled the inside of the UNOH Event Center for Ohio State Beauty Academy's annual spring Student Talent Showcase.
Glamour & Glow-Neon Night featured hairstyles comprised of bright, bold colors along with creative makeup applications, nail art and costume designs.
"This is all about our students. This is a first-time thing especially for us as Neon Night, so it's all about the hair, the makeup and costume," said Kristen Tell, admissions director for the Ohio State Beauty Academy.
The interesting thing about the show was ultraviolet light was used to give the hair, nails and costumes a glowing appearance.
"It has one look in natural light and then when we turn on the black light they're totally different, so it's just awesome. It really is," Tell said.
The show had 55 students participate.
"We put in a lot of hard work. We've had to test a lot of different colors just to see which ones glow, which ones don't glow and then put together our looks kind of from there," said Lori Bassett, a student at OSBA.
"What we went for was kind of like a fire but we did like a mix of a snow so it's more of like a snow fire. The white, like the snow, breaks up that fire a little bit to make it glow even more," Bassett said.
"I think I look absolutely amazing. I glow like no other," said model Tori Whitaker.
So was she freaked out by what she saw in the mirror in the black light?
"Honestly yeah, because I wasn't expecting to be so, because of all of the splatter on me, I wasn't expecting it to be so like bright," Whitaker said.
The event serves as the culmination of their education so far this school year.
"This takes everything we've taught them in school and then just give their own creativity to it and they have their freedom for the night, so it is something really big, and we have the community that comes out and supports us and it's just awesome," Tell said.
A panel of five judges picked the top students based on creativity and execution.
"They do get judged. There's a presidential award. There's a peer evaluation award. They get an award for hair, overall costume, nails and also makeup," Tell said.

Banter Battles (BanBat) are a fast play set of rules that take a light-hearted approach to a range of wargaming periods. The rules are designed for social games and introducing new people of all ages into a very rewarding and interesting hobby.
Banter Battles are designed to cover only two sides of A4 paper, but still can provide the depth and focus for a specific period. One side of A4 displays the common rules and concepts. The other side of the A4 contains the period specific QRS and any additional period rules.
The rules use single models/bases make up a unit. A single base will represent a single man or several men. Distance is measured in a scale of a single base width and this width relates to an actual ground scale. The period being played will dictate the figure to men ratio and the distance scale relative to a single base width.
The rules use a system of random move/activation selection by the players pulling coloured dice hidden in a bag..

61-63 Queen Street, Niagara on the Lake, On., (905) 468-2532, Lunch and Dinner 7 days a week
On a cool, but sunny March afternoon my wife and I decided to take a drive to one of our favourite tourist places, Niagara on the Lake. It is a quaint and historic village that has the famous Shaw theatre, along with a variety of boutiques and restaurants. Being the off season for tourists, some shops were closed, but the restaurants were all open. We decided to try Bistro Six One after reading their menu posted near the front door.
The inside has a variety of booth seating which we like.
Located in the centre of Ontario's wine region, restaurants here tend to feature the local wineries in their wine lists. We chose our favourite local wine from Jackson Triggs, their Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend VQA, a full bodied red with a rich flavour.
The menu has a nice variety to choose from including wood oven pizza, sandwiches, salads and mains.
Since it was late afternoon, we decided on a salad and sandwich. We both chose the Caesar salad. The romaine was fresh and crisp, the bacon was real and the parmesan cheese and croutons were delicious.
For her sandwich, my wife chose the ham and brie melt on multigrain bread. It had thin layers of smoked ham, soft brie cheese and a wonderful pepper jelly that was very tasty. It was accompanied by a mound of french fries.
I decided on the grilled chicken ciabatta. It had tender grilled chicken, lettuce, bacon and cheese. The bread was crisp and fresh and the sandwich was excellent. It too, was served with fries.
It was a wonderful meal in a peaceful restaurant with nice music and good wine. We will definitely be back again.

Work stuff. We have been getting a new revision of the Book of Vaadin out about every six months and the latest came from print today. This time we didn't increment the edition number, so it is the 1st revision of the 4th Edition. Essentially, one major reason was that we ran out of colors in the Vaadin color palette so the new revision looks just as yellow-orange as the original 4th Edition.
Regardless of the similar appearance, the revision packs almost 100 pages more content. The biggest change is the reorganization into two parts: the core framework and the addons. Some new add-on documentation is included in the core part: Vaadin Control Panel for Liferay, Vaadin IPC, and Vaadin WSRP. The SQLContainer add-on is now part of the core framework.
Of the add-on documentation, the JPAContainer chapter was entirely rewritten couple of months ago and the Calendar chapter was revised more recently.
Unfortunately, there are some outdated parts that went to print. Most notably, there is a really outdated material in the Vaadin embedding section, related to version 5.2. I hope there isn't much Toolkit 4 stuff left, just cleaned some references out at the last minute.
This all applies only to the print edition, which you can pick up for free at some conferences. The web edition is always the latest and it gets all additions on the same day I edit it.
Vaadin 7 is in the works. We hope to get a preview edition of the Vaadin 7 book out in the summer, in July or so. Perhaps it could be red, if we begin the color cycle in the same order we did with Vaadin 6. The color is always a big decision.

DALLAS (CBS11) – 'Tis the season to be jolly and apparently for some, to overspend.
Dallas CPA, Holly Signorelli known as the "The Money Therapist," said chronic spending during the holidays happens within all income levels.
She said many times shopaholics are easily enticed by the huge shopping and sale events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
"All of the ads are telling you that everything is priceless and you are not worried about it, and you just want to have fun for the holidays," said Signorelli.
The first step to keep from overspending is make a budget and figure out who you want to buy gifts for, Signorelli said.
The second thing to do is to decide exactly what you want to buy for those people.
"Look for those items on sale rather than something on sale that probably won't even make a good gift for that person," she said.
Stick to those two simple tips and "The Money Therapist" said you can avoid falling into a huge mountain of holiday shopping debt.

Bank Accounts
Bank accounts help you to:
• pay your bills;
• receive money - such as your salary or benefits; and
• keep track of where your money is going.
Bank accounts can also earn you interest on the money you have in the account. If you have never had a bank account before you may want to look at an alternative to a High Street bank, for example a credit union. If you live in Glasgow, Scotcash can help you set up a bank account
We cover the three main types of bank account below. You might have any of these at different stages of your life. We outline the basics here but for more information go to the Money Advice Service Bank Accounts page
Basic bank account – for managing day-to-day money. It doesn't usually allow you to go overdrawn by more than ten pounds if at all.
Current account - also for managing your day-to-day money, but with more features than a basic bank account, ie a direct debit facility. There are special accounts for children and students.
Savings (or deposit) account - for putting away money that you'd like to save, say for furniture, a holiday or emergencies. You should try to find an account that pays the most interest on your savings.
How much does a bank account cost?
A bank account usually costs nothing, as long as you don't spend more money than you have in the account (called going overdrawn).
If you have money in your account (called being in credit), you are not usually charged for any of the services provided by your account, but do double-check by reading the terms and conditions.
Remember also that convenience cash machines which are not run or owned by the bank (such as those inside small shops, on garage forecourts, at railway stations and in nightclubs) may charge you between £1 and £2 each time you withdraw money from them.
Opening an account
Once you've decided which type of account you want to open, you will usually be asked to:
• fill in an application form;
• provide proof of identity - you need to prove who you are and where you live (see below); and
• pay some money into your account (however, some banks let you do this later).
Proof of identity
The law requires financial services firms such as banks to identify their new customers. Some firms will check databases such as the electoral roll and those kept by credit agencies. But most will ask you for documents. If you're asked for documents, the JMLSG Guidance sets out the following options:
Option 1
A passport or photo-card driving licence; or combinations of certain official documents such as an old-style full UK driving licence plus a council tax letter or statement.
Option 2
If you don't have these documents, a bank or other financial firm may be willing to accept certain documents relating to your particular circumstances, such as a: letter from a government department or local authority confirming a right to State benefits;
suitable confirmation of identity from a young person's workplace or educational institution; or a letter confirming a person's identity from a care-home manager or warden of sheltered accommodation or a refuge.
Further options are available for groups such as international students, migrant workers, refugees, asylum seekers, prisoners and those on probation. Details of these options are available in the
Option 3
If you don't have any of the documents required, a firm may be willing to accept a letter confirming your identity from an 'appropriate person' who knows you, such as a social worker, doctor or teacher, indicating that you are who you say you are.
Which one is right for you?
There are so many banks, building societies and different types of accounts that it can be difficult to work out which one is right for you. A good starting point is to think about how important different features are to you. Would you prefer to talk to your bank face to face in your local branch? Or would you prefer to do everything by telephone or over the internet? Here's a list of things to consider. Print off this page and tick the features you want for easy reference.
Ways to run your account
• Face-to-face contact at a branch
• Phone banking
• Online banking
• Postal account for savings
Access to cash
• Branch nearby
• Cash machines nearby – and free to use?
• Cashback facilities at supermarket, other shops or pub
• Access at the Post Office
• Amount of interest matters to me
• Don't want an overdraft facility
• Overdraft facility - is it free or are there charges?
• Cash card
• Debit card
• Cheque book
• Direct debits
• Standing orders
• Any restrictions on withdrawals
Running your account
Usually there are three stages:
1. Paying money in
|You can take cash and cheques made payable to you to your local branch, and complete a paying-in form.
|You can pay in cheques made payable to you, by post.
|Your account can receive automated transfers, such as your salary, paid straight into your account by your employer. This is known as payment by BACS and your employer will need your bank details to do this, including your sort code and your account number. You'll find these on your bank statement, cheque book or card.
Keep your bank details safe and protect yourself against fraud.
2. Paying money out
|Get cash out from a cash machine, at the supermarket and other shops (known as cashback), or at your branch. There is a limit to how much you can get each time.
|Pay for goods using your debit card or by cheque (although cheques are less common now and some banks are phasing them out).
|Pay bills by direct debit, standing order, cheque, telephone or online banking.
The way we pay for things with credit and debit cards has recently changed. In the UK, we now use 'chip and PIN' for the vast majority of our transactions. Chip and PIN means your cards are better protected from fraud.
Make sure you keep track of how much money is left in your account, because if you go overdrawn you may be charged.
3. Keeping track of your money
|Check statements from your bank and report anything wrong.
|Check receipts or mini-statements from cash machines and report anything wrong.
|Fill in cheque book stubs to keep track of what cheques you have written and who you've written them to.
|Keep paying-in stubs until the money has arrived in your account.
|Keep track of where your money is going and keep your bank statements in a safe place. You may need them for tax purposes.
It's a good idea to shred any personal data once you no longer need to keep it - this helps protect you against identity fraud.

Senior School:(215) 467-5338 - Junior School: (215) 334-3777 - ELC: (215) 334-6001
In 1895 in response to the growing population in the area of Passyunk, Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan
established a new parish named St. Monica. Father Owen P. McManus was appointed pastor and directed "to undertake the work of organizing the new parish and building a church on Ritner Street between 17th and 18th Streets with the church to be so built as to be used as church and school for the present." (50th Anniversary Parish History)
Groundbreaking took place for a permanent church in 1901 and was dedicated April 30, 1903. In 1906,
the parish broke ground for St. Monica School beside the church on Ritner Street and it was dedicated
November 2, 1908. The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who had been teaching
Sunday school since the foundation of the parish in 1895, agreed to staff the school. Six hundred children
from the rapidly growing parish filled the school.
By 1920, the number of families in the parish had grown from 150 to 1,100. The flu epidemic of 1919 impacted many families and in response to the needs of many parishioners who were left single parents, the pastor at the time, Father John Walsh, opened the St. Monica Day Nursery at 1615 Porter Street. In 1920, he established the St. Monica Business School enabling many students to acquire training and preparation for the business world. The IHM Sisters staffed both facilities.
In 1944, Father Aloysius F.X. Farrell was appointed pastor of St. Monica's. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the parish, Father Farrell renovated the Church and in 1945 he established a Kindergarten. As a result of the growing school population, the Baldwin Public Elementary School at 16th and Porter Streets was purchased in 1956 as a temporary annex. On September 23, 1962, Cardinal John J. Krol blessed and dedicated the newly constructed Senior School on this same site. The new building included a cafeteria, gymnasium, and an adjacent bowling alley.
In the summer of 1964, the original Ritner Street school was razed and the foundation for a new Junior
School building was laid. Cardinal Krol dedicated this new building on September 8, 1965. This building
included a cafeteria, library and four classrooms for the Business School. In 1971, the Protestant Church
property at the corner of 15th and Porter Streets was purchased. This building was razed and a modern
Day Care Facility erected. Three, four and five-year-old children whose parents work attend this program.
The school population continued to grow and peaked in the early 1980's with over 1200 students. The school had four sections of every grade with 40 plus students in each. With a declining birthrate and exodus to the suburbs, the school population dipped slightly through the 1990's. The Business School closed in 1995 and classroom space made available to the Junior School for a music room, gym room, tutoring and storage. When St. Edmond's School closed in 1998 a number of students transferred to St. Monica School so that the enrollment was over 800 students.
Upon his retirement in 2001, Bishop DeSimone established the St. Monica School Education Fund to provide tuition assistance for needy families. Father Paul Quinter became pastor in June of 2001 and continued the long tradition of support and commitment to Catholic education. As of 2002-2003 St. Monica School had an enrollment of 633 students with three sections of Grades 1 – 8 and four half-day sessions of Kindergarten. Classrooms have been divided to create counseling rooms, offices, and tutoring space. Each school had one classroom set up as a computer lab. During the 2002-2003 school year, a wireless network and internet access were installed in both schools and upgraded most recently in September 2014. In the summer of 2003, a new computer lab, made possible by a grant from the Sullivan Foundation, was installed in the Junior School. Father Quinter's appointment to Rome in March 2003 necessitated the naming of a new pastor, Father Joseph Kelley, whose ministry for many years has been in Catholic secondary education.
This experience in Catholic education, coupled with Father's pastoral leadership, inspires great hope and confidence in the future of St. Monica School despite many challenges facing Catholic education today.
Father Kelley has overseen several integral changes to St. Monica School that have made the institution a hub for spiritual guidance and innovative instruction. Recently the school acquired and integrated many technological resources such as Smartboards in every classroom, laptops, iPads, and Google Chromebooks. This technology is utilized in making daily instruction dynamic and relevant to 21st century learners. Furthermore, the installation of a state-of-the-art science lab enables students to have a unique, hands-on experience in participating in STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) activities, while the incorporation of a new music program and school band nurtures the whole student. With the implementation of these essential innovations, the students of St. Monica School gain necessary skills to be competitive in an ever-changing global marketplace while continuing Christ's mission of spiritual growth. Faculty, staff, and administration have also been empowered through these upgrades and the continual support of Father Kelley to encourage students to be lifelong learners, compete in the global marketplace, and be Catholic role models and productive members of society.

El Camino Real RB Kawan Rally (ankle) is questionable.
Valencia (5-1, 1-0) at Canyon (6-0, 1-0) – It's nice to be undefeated, but Canyon has a lot to worry about if Valencia RB Steven Manfro keeps it up.

Sierra Canyon (6-0, 3-0) vs. Campbell Hall (4-2, 1-2) at Granada Hills HS – Some luster has been removed now that Campbell Hall has lost two in a row, but it's still a good QB matchup between Sierra Canyon's Tyler Stewart and Campbell Hall's R.J. Gordon.
Stewart has passed for 1,377 yards and 21 TDs. He directs that an offense that averages 46.8 points and 418 yards.
Hollywood (7-0) at Reseda (6-0) – Reseda prides itself on defense, and tonight the Regents look to slow down a Hollywood team that's off to its best start in decades. Some of Reseda's top defensive players are DL Jonathan Washington, LB Heber Silva and DB James Randolph.

The relation between marijuana and schizophrenia has been widely discussed throughout the last century. Between 1960s and 1970s, researchers believed that smoking cannabis could trigger psychosis in just about any person. Although the results between different studies vary today, some scientists still share the opinion that you can get schizophrenia from using weed if you are predisposed to this mental illness, namely those with family histories of the condition.
On the other hand, there are studies that suggest that people who suffer from schizophrenia are more prone to smoke pot. As a new study in Molecular Psychiatry has found that genetic factors determining schizophrenia can be used to predict if a person will be more likely to smoke marijuana, regardless of their mental health record.
That being said, we can clearly see the causal relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia. Although the phenomenon still remains unclear to the medical community, it's believed that there is at least a small link between the genes predisposing some people to enjoying weed and those that are responsible for developing schizophrenia.
The Reason Behind The Possible Link
A study conducted by Dr. Suzi Gage and her team, from the School of Experimental Psychology at Bristol University in the United kingdom, has found that there is more evidence that marijuana may be particularly risky for people who suffer from schizophrenia. Nevertheless, the group of researchers has indicated that it's also important to highlight other factors that impact mental health.
Dr. Gage examined genetic factors that may determine whether a subject is likely to use marijuana, and whether they are likely to develop schizophrenia. Using the Mendelian Randomization technique to analyze the data, the authors of the study were able to investigate other factors impacting our mental condition.
Findings say that when a person starts to use cannabis, this may increase the risk of schizophrenia. In addition, people who are at risk of schizophrenia will be more likely to use marijuana than healthy subjects.
How does this link between marijuana and schizophrenia work? As Prof. Marcus Munafo, a member of the team responsible for running this study, explained that some behaviors or symptoms linked to schizophrenia risk might be mitigated by the effects of cannabis. In short, cannabis can be considered a kind of self-medication in schizophrenia patients. Alternatively, it's believed that people who are at risk of developing schizophrenia may particularly enjoy the psychoactive properties of cannabis.
How do CBD and THC Affect Schizophrenia?
Source: Espira.org
THC is believed to cause transient psychotic experiences. Unlike Tetrahydrocannabinol, CBD has no mind-altering properties while being a potent medication – that's what the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has to say.
Since the majority of marijuana strains available on the market is THC-rich and low in CBD, it's more likely that people who share direct contact with these substances are more likely to go under some small psychotic experiences. According to researchers, the proportion of THC to CBD presumably plays a significant role in psychotic symptoms.
The main limitation to this research is a relatively small population of people with high risk for developing schizophrenia overlapping with those who regularly enjoy cannabis. The number of such a group is estimated to 1,500 people.
The Debate Continues
Source: Sites at Penn State
Like I said, there is still not enough evidence, at least at a population level, that cannabis use throughout adolescence is a ruling factor in the development of schizophrenia. Without such evidence, we still have to face the fact that people with schizophrenia who consume marijuana are more likely to be hospitalized than those who don't use the herb. In order to gain a better understanding of how regular usage may impact the wellbeing of vulnerable cannabis users, we have to dig deeper into the subgroups of such individuals.
There are plenty detailed studies that prove cannabis can have very different effects on the brain of a person who is at risk for schizophrenia. For example, a 2013 study indicated that there is a connection between the increased release of dopamine from using cannabis and the reaction of the brains of people with schizophrenia. To cut the long story short, a chronic elevation of dopamine is capable of increasing one's likelihood of experiencing mind-altering moments, making the disorder more difficult to treat.
Furthermore, according to some studies, people who are in the early stages of schizophrenia experience greater modifications in the brain when using marijuana – these changes take place in their white matter.
The Future Research On the Relationship
Although the evidence isn't clear-cut, it looks like the link between marijuana and schizophrenia is even more complex and serious than we've ever thought. There is no specific gene associated with either marijuana use disorder or schizophrenia, so this mental illness is associated with a result of many genes working together. Even if their number is not impressive, each combination makes a small contribution to the general risk of developing schizophrenia.
Still, the concept that marijuana use and schizophrenia share common genes shows great hope for future research on this relationship, which would confirm this thesis once and for all. Medical knowledge aside, further research on marijuana and schizophrenia could shed more light on the problem, as schizophrenia affects a small number of people on a global scale.
Do you think that smoking weed may lead to increased anxiety and speed up the development of schizophrenia? Share your thoughts!

Vosne-Romanée, revered for its illustrious Grand Cru sites, is located less than three miles north of the bustling town of Nuits Saint-Georges in the heart of Côte de Nuits. The vineyards form a spectacular backdrop to this unpretentious, little village. The village has been a known source of quality wines for over a thousand years, and still today nearly every inhabitant is involved in the production of wine. The old vine parcels, 46 to 52 years old, reside on thin, but well-drained, clay-limestone soils, topped with pebbles and limestone scree.
This village wine over-delivers on its aromatics and finesse. It has a classic Vosne nose of cherry cola, pomegranate seed and is very perfumy, reminiscent of sandalwood. It is soft and feminine in texture yet remains sturdy on the palate with red fruits, licorice and spices. A great vintage of pure, pure, pure Pinot Noir, and the best village wine of the lot!

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.Christopher Robin to Pooh by A. A. Milne
For my first blog, I should tell you who I am, what I do, what I like... but I think it is more fun for you to discover that along the way. Instead, I'll outline an idea of what I hope this will be.
I was always a child who thought I couldn't wear vintage, couldn't write poems, couldn't dance, couldn't do many things because I was too short, too silly, too something that was just not enough. Then one day I woke up and decided to slip on some red lipstick, don a pair of heels and type something that was completely bizarre, completely unique and also, completely mine, and when I did, I realised I was not lacking, but just waiting for a time to shine.
So for me, this is a chance to correct old notions of perfection and chronicle the joys of being eccentric; because why should insanity be suffered, when it can be enjoyed?

John Venhuizen, CEO of Ace Hardware, was recently interviewed by Dan Rockwell on the topic of Leadership. The interview was included on Dan's blog called "Leadership Freak". Below is the introduction to the post.
"I asked the CEO of the largest home improvement franchise company in the world, Ace Hardware, what others saw in him as a leader. He started talking about definitions.
Three Definitions of Leadership:
1. Leaders take people where they could not go on their own.
2. "Leaders rally people toward a better future." Marcus Buckingham
3. Leaders galvanize people to want to do what must be done.
Leaders instigate forward-facing movement. You have to go somewhere to lead. You aren't just taking a walk."
