Entrepreneurs make a difference. They not only have great ideas, but also the drive to make them a reality. They use their fresh thinking and hard work to create positive social change – bringing new concepts and products to market, and creating jobs and wealth.
We have long recognized the potential of entrepreneurs. Over the past three decades, we have been working with entrepreneurs, adapting our experience, industry capabilities and resources to work for entrepreneurial, fast-growth companies. We work with a range of businesses, from those receiving their first venture funding through to large mid-cap companies, whose value may be measured in billions of dollars.
Our commitment to entrepreneurial companies, in both emerging and developed economies around the world, helps ensure that we're working with more of tomorrow's global leaders, today.
EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® – celebrating entrepreneurs
We started the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program to celebrate successful entrepreneurs, so they could share their stories, inspire others and receive the recognition they deserve. Our first program took place in 1986 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the United States
By 1987 it was held across 11 US cities. And in 1993 the program started to expand internationally. Today the program spans more than 140 cities in 50 countries, which together represent more than 90% of the global economy.
Over the past five years, more than 6,500 entrepreneurs joined the Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni. A "who's who" of both developed and emerging markets, these alumni include many household names. Over half of today's top 100 NASDAQ companies have won Entrepreneur Of The Year, and most received the award before they achieved top 100 status.
Ten years ago we decided to go global and started World Entrepreneur Of The Year. Held annually in Monaco, Entrepreneur Of The Year country winners compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year title. Past winners include Michael Spencer of ICAP plc, Guy Laliberté of Cirque du Soleil and Narayana Murthy of Infosys Technologies.

Is God a Sadistic Monster?
The post was titled "Is God a Sadistic Monster?" A judge brings a frightened 18 year old girl before his court. The girl has committed no "crimes" per se, but has committed many of the same "sins" that an average young woman of her age might have committed in the course of her short life, i.e. white lies, masturbation, "mouthing off" to parents and authority figures, cheating in school, and a host of other petty misdeeds. The judge tells the girl that she will be allowed no legal representation. No one will be permitted to speak on her behalf but she herself. The judge tells this girl that although her "crimes" are minor, she will be taken out, doused in gasoline, set ablaze, and then thrown into a vat of sulfuric acid while she is still burning.. Then he, the judge, will stand over this vat and listen to her beg and scream for mercy until she finally expires in excruciating inconceivable agony.NOW, this is going to require an inordinate amount of objectivity on the part of any fundamentalist or evangelical reading this, which, having been one, I know is probably beyond your capacity. However, in all honesty, what would society call this judge? Righteous? Pure? Merciful? PLEASE!! Don't delude yourself! It is a safe bet that society would probably call him a sadistic beast not worthy to live on the same planet with decent human beings!Now, this same girl appears before "The Sinner's Judgment" withthe Honorable Judge Jesus Christ presiding! He also tells her that she will not be allowed legal representation. For no other reason than because she failed to "mouth out" the "sinners prayer", this merciless brute of a God (I use God and Jesus interchangeably because Christians consider them the same) will throw this terrified young, barely beyond adolescence (but beyond the scripturally ambiguous "age of accountability"), girl into the "Lake of Fire", a fate approximately one million times more agonizing than what the Earthly judge subjected her to.Now, what makes God, Jesus, whomever, any different than this Earthly judge? How is God different morally? Ultimately, there is no difference, and I have, in fact, "called the Emperor naked". For Godto throw ANY person into eternal fire where they will never die and never know respite, and scream and wail while God and Jesus treat it as "music to their ears" is such a morally unconscionable act it beggars description!! The fact is, God is a two-faced hypocrite who employs a "double standard". He claims not to tolerate cruelty and inhumanity, and he will become the most inhumane, vicious, merciless, animalistic brutal sadistic monster ever in history when, on Judgment Day, he throws the billions of "lost souls" into this eternal barbecue pit. Now, I would like to confront the most common(and inherently inane and ludicrous) arguments that Christians use to get God "off the hook" to keep him from appearing as I have described.
ARGUMENT 1)"God doesn't send anyone to Hell, they put themseles there!": Okay, so you're saying that if a person who dies "in their sins" stands before God and takes a good hard look at Hell, that he has the option to "decline"? Please! Get real! The Bible clearly states that the lost will be "cast"(the operative word here is "cast", not briskly walked, not gingerly ran, not eagerly waltzed) into the Lake of Fire! Now, lest you accuse me of being obtuse, I do understand what you're endeavoring to say, that being, that if a person "rejects Christ as their Lord and savior, doesn't repent of their sins, yadda, yadda, yadda," they have, by default, chosen of their own free will to go to Hell. The flaw in this "defense" is that it is a twist on the warnings that Draconian tyrants, emperors, and dictators have given their subjects since time immemorial. That as long as you play the game by their rules, they won't subject you to unspeakable torture! However, it doesn't make Hell one degree cooler whether or not God decides or the "sinners" decide where they spend eternity. It is still a morally unconscionable Draconian punishment. It's analogous to saying that if a father decides to allow his child to voluntarily dive into a shark-infested pool as a self-inflicted punishment for "wrong-doing", that gets dear old Dad "off the hook".
ARGUMENT 2) "The Lake of Fire was designed and prepared for the Devil and his angels, not people." Okay, but regardless, God intends to throw the lost into it. It may not "originally" have been meant for people, but God, in his infinite wisdom and mercy, has decided to take "the more, the merrier" approach, and use it as the primary method of eternal punishment for sinners. He has therefore, by default, designed it for both Devils and people.

Whether you live alone, are watching your calories, or simply don't want to bake a batch of 48 cookies when all you really want is one or two, you should consider treating yourself to a copy of Debby Maugans's cookbook, Small Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers, a scrumptious follow-up to her successful 2004 cookbook, Small Batch Baking.
Before delving into 100+ enticing recipes for cakes, cookies, muffins, pies, tarts, puddings and scones, Maugans shares many useful tips for successful baking. She teaches you how to properly measure and store ingredients, how to use your traditional bakeware for small-batch baking and even how to recycle cans into baking tins. Yes, she bakes lovely little cakes in cans and encourages you to do the same.
Maugans doesn't simply take traditional dessert recipes and halve or quarter them. She presents meticulously calculated recipes with measurements such as "1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour" and "1 tablespoon well-beaten egg." (Keep in mind that if you've never done small-batch baking, you'll have to get used to working with these pared down measurements and to storing leftover ingredients in the fridge.)
Chocolate purists will take comfort in classic recipes such as Chocolate Sugar Cookies and Chocolate Cherry Bread, while daring chocolate seekers will revel in Maugans's inspired White Chocolate Lemon Creme Brulee and Superrich Coconut Cream Hot Chocolate. Despite the recipes' tantalizing names, most chocolate lovers will wish that the book had more photos. (There are 16 color photos in total.)
So far I have made three recipes from Maugans's book and am smitten with her crackly-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside Brownie Cookies. Think of them as the love child of brownies and chocolate chip cookies. I don't need to tell you that they should washed down with a tall glass of milk.
As Maugans says, with this book in your kitchen, "There will be no leftovers to lure you into overindulging, but you may be tempted to bake a different chocolate treat every day."
Brownie Cookies
Makes 7 cookies
Printable recipe.
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon well-beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Place the chocolate and butter in a medium, microwave-safe bowl; microwave on medium power until soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Stir in the brown sugar; whisk in the egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Stir in the flour. Cover and refrigerate until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
Spoon the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies have puffed them flattened, about 14 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
You can buy Small-Batch Baking for Chocolate Lovers (St. Martin's Press, 2011) online or wherever books are sold. In full disclosure, this review copy was gratis from the publisher.

The Experience work at the Record Plant in New York City. During the session, the group creates the basic track for "House Burning Down" and complete the recordings of "Gypsy Eyes" with take 5 being marked as 'complete.' The group also revisit "Tax Free" with Hendrix playing his guitar through a Leslie speaker on two of the takes; the later being marked as 'use.'

Recording for "Three Little Bears" would take place at the Record Plant, where Steve Winwood, Jack Casady and a host of others visited the group. Although Hendrix originally coined the title, "Cherokee Mist" for the session, he later settled on "Three Little Bears" as its final working title. Throughout the session, Jimi developed a jazzy rhythm pattern that would eventually become "South Saturn Delta." As the session progressed, Hendrix and bassist, Noel Redding get into a heated argument about the number of people in the studio. In his autobiography, Are You Experienced? Redding says, "There were tons of people in the studio – you couldn't even move. It was a party not a session. He just said, 'Relax man…' I'd been relaxing for months, so I relaxed my way right out the place, not caring if I ever saw him again." Taking a break from the session Hendrix leads an entourage to their local hangout at the Scene Club for some fun. Afterwards, Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, Eddie Kramer, Winwood, Casady, Larry Coryell and others, return to the Record Plant to jam. These jams would become the foundation of "Voodoo Chile." A number of recordings with Winwood and Casady participating were laid to tape on this night, with 3 of the takes being fused together as "Voodoo Chile Blues," which was released on MCA's 1994 release – :Blues.

Experience publicist, Michael Goldstein arranged for ABC-TV to record the group's studio work today for a proposed news feature. Although the 16mm film recordings captured the Experience recording "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" at the Record Plant, no records indicate if the footage was ever used. Unfortunately, this footage, along with the recordings for the Experience's May 10 show at Fillmore East and May 18 show at the Miami Pop Festival were all stolen from the ABC-TV archives sometime after Hendrix's death in 1970. Jimi Hendrix and Mitch Mitchell are invited to jam with Joe Tex and his band at the Town Hall in New York City.

Larry Coryell (playing 12-string guitar) joins Noel Redding, at this early morning session at the Record Plant for the recording of his self-penned number, "Little, Little Girl." A rough mix of the recording was also produced during the session. Later, Hendrix and Kramer prepare rough mixes of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and "House Burning Down."

Returning once again to the Record Plant, the Experience prepare a rough mix of "House Burning Down" but later mark it 'Don't Use' and discard it. Overdubs, including Jimi's lead guitar part for Redding's "Little Miss Strange" are completed, as is the final mix of the track.

The Experience complete rough mixes for "Three Little Bears," "Voodoo Chile," and "Long Hot Summer Night" during sessions at the Record Plant. Jimi also returned to the April 22 recordings of "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by adding a series of new recordings that were later added as edit sections to create a single, unified master. With Hendrix taking the music in his own direction, Chas Chandler stepped down as the producer for the Electric Ladyland project. "Both I and the group were exhausted," explained Chandler in an interview with John McDermott for the book Jimi Hendrix Sessions. "I had spent three years with the Animals, and the next day I was working with Hendrix. I had put in as much time on the job as Hendrix, Mitchell, and Redding – plus my time with the Animals. The last thing I wanted to be doing was fighting with Jimi in the studio and then (Michael) Jeffrey in the office. I just walked away." In a separate session, also at the Record Plant, Noel Redding worked recorded "How Can I Live" with engineer Gary Kellgren.

Supported by the Mothers of Invention, Arthur Brown, Blue Cheer and John Lee Hooker, The Experience perform two shows at the Miami Pop Festival in Hallendale, Florida. Among the songs performed during the second show include "Foxey Lady," "Fire," "Hear My Train A Comin'," and "Purple Haze." Eddie Kramer was flown down to Miami to record the group's performance for posterity. Although recordings were made, the second day's cancellation threw the promoters into bankruptcy. Both audio and film footage (ABC-TV) of the event was seized, their whereabouts remain a mystery.

A second day of performances at the Miami Pop Festival is cancelled due to a torrential thunderstorm. During the drive back to the hotel from Gulf Stream Park, Jimi begins to write "Rain Day, Dream Away."

Hendrix reportedly jams with Noel Redding, Frank Zappa, Arthur Brown, Steve Paul and Jimmy Carl Black at the Wreck Bar in the Castaways Hotel in Miami, Florida during the early morning hours. Redding boards a plane to return to London later that day.

Hendrix arrives at the Malpensa Airport in Milan, Italy after flying from Miami, Florida (by-way of New York). Daniela Cohen of Ciao 2001 photographs Jimi and Noel sitting on the grass outside the Windsor Hotel. Although scheduled to perform two shows at the Piper Club in Milan, the first show is cancelled because Italian customs officials delay the Experience's gear at the airport. The second show proceeds with a more than two thousand people trying to gain admission to the show.

The Experience travel from Bologna to London, making stops in both Milan and Geneva before arriving at their final destination. Once at Heathrow, Hendrix is quickly whisked away for a return flight back to New York City.
Mitchell and Redding are joined by nearly forty British musicians, including the Move, Traffic, John Mayall, and Eric Burdon on a charter flight from Heathrow to Kloten airport in Zurich, Switzerland. Upon arrival the bands take part in an afternoon press reception. Hendrix arrives later in the afternoon, after flying to Zurich from New York. This grand event, dubbed Pop-Montserkonzert was to feature two successive nights of performances at the Hallenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland. Each night kicked off with a fashion show by local boutique, Bernie's. Once the fashions were put aside, a series of bands – one after the other – took to the stage, including: Anselmo Trend, Sauterelles, Hardy Hepp, the Koobas, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Traffic, the Move, Eric Burdon and the New Animals, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Experience's 50+ minute set included: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Stone Free," "I Don't Live Today," "Red House," "Hey Joe," "Foxey Lady," "Manic Depression," "Fire," and "Purple Haze."

text: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 Rule Finalizes Consumer Protections Under ACA The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a final rule last week implementing several consumer protections under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to prevent insurance companies from discriminating against people with preexisting conditions and protect consumers from insurance company abuses. Under these reforms, all individuals and employers have the right to purchase health insurance coverage regardless of health status. In addition, insurers are prevented from charging discriminatory rates to individuals and small employers based on factors such as health status or gender, and young adults have additional affordable coverage options under catastrophic plans. These 5 key provisions are applicable to nongrandfathered health plans: Guaranteed Availability—Nearly all health insurance companies offering coverage to individuals and employers will be required to sell health insurance policies to all consumers. No one can be denied health insurance because they have or had an illness. Fair Health Insurance Premiums—Health insurance companies offering coverage to individuals and small employers will be allowed to vary premiums based only on age, tobacco use, family size, and geography. Basing premiums on other factors will be illegal. The factors that are no longer permitted in 2014 include health status, past insurance claims, gender, occupation, how long an individual has held a policy, or size of the small employer. Guaranteed Renewability—Health insurance companies will no longer be permitted to refuse to renew coverage because an individual or an employee has become sick. Consumers may renew coverage at their option. Single Risk Pool—Health insurance companies will no longer be able to charge higher premiums to higher-cost enrollees by moving them into separate risk pools. Insurers are required to maintain a single statewide risk pool for the individual market and single statewide risk pool for the small group market. Catastrophic Plans—Young adults and people for whom coverage would otherwise be unaffordable will have access to a catastrophic plan in the individual market. Catastrophic plans generally will have lower premiums, protect against high out-of-pocket costs, and cover recommended preventive services without cost sharing. In preparation for the health insurance marketplaces and to streamline data collection for insurers and states, the final rule amends certain provisions of the rate review program. HHS has increased the transparency by directing insurance companies in every state to report on all rate increase requests. A new report has found that the law's transparency provisions have already resulted in a decline in double-digit premium increases filed, from 75% in 2010 to, according to preliminary data, 14% in 2013.

Affordable And Low Cost Virginia Car Insurance Rates
Affordable And Low Cost Virginia Car Insurance Rates
Find the cheapest auto insurance in Virginia and lower your premium. Instantly compare multiple companies with a free online quote and save. We shop all of the major reputable carriers so you can easily and quickly view the best Va. prices. Both preferred and high-risk policies are available to young and Senior drivers. If you are uninsured or need same-day coverage, we can also help. State minimum or higher limits are offered along with many cost-saving collision and comprehensive deductible options for financed or leased vehicles. GAP benefits are also available.
We are the premier trusted resource for affordable car insurance in Virginia. We provide fast free online or phone quotes from the large and small companies such as Geico, Allstate, Progressive, Safeco, Hartford, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Esurance, USAA, Va Farm Bureau, Integon, and many others. The rates you view on our website are the lowest available options provided by each company. We do the shopping and updating, so you always are viewing the best deals. Additional property and casualty products are offered on an individual and group basis, including coverage for primary homes, rental and investment property, motocycles, RVs, motor homes, snowmobiles, ATVs, and mobile homes.
You can also find helpful information on claim assistance, car buying advice and state liability requirements. Many of our articles will tell you the best way to lower your auto insurance cost without sacrificing coverage. If there are discounts offered by your carrier that will substantially lower prices, we explain how to take advantage of it. If there are specific riders or amendments that should be aware of, we write about it. As self-driving vehicles become more popular, we will review the possible impact it has on your own personal policy. And when new safety devices are added to the vehicles you drive, additional rate reductions may be applied. Many 2020 vehicles are equipped with new features and options.
Getting The Free Quote
By entering your zip code in the "Get Affordable Auto Insurance" box, easily you can view your options and determine which company will offer you the least expensive policy with the most reliable coverage. Typically, we advise our clients to compare premiums from two or three different companies to maximize your potential savings. Anytime you add a driver or vehicle, it may be time to make a quick comparison since carriers have different rating guidelines. If you move to a different city or state, your current premium could change. Several Senior discounts are offered to persons that have reached age 65, or retired persons ages 55 and above.
Of course, after you save 30% on your premiums, you may not be quite as happy as the gentleman pictured below. But we believe you'll be be impressed with how quickly you were able to compare the best options and view the savings! As a "fault" state (opposite of "no-fault), you can be surcharged for an accident that you cause. An excess number of claims and/or moving violations, may force you to consider non-standard (high risk) coverage. However, once your driving record improves, you will be eligible for preferred pricing. Most carriers provide additional rate reductions if you have no claims for 36 or 60 months. 12 months of safe driving or the inclusion of monitoring devices also can reduce the premium.
Each insurer underwrites policies differently so you may see large differences from one company to another. We help by quickly shopping for quotes that give you the most savings. We understand that young drivers will pay more and those persons with great credit and no violations will pay less. Regardless of your credit or driving record, we understand how to find the best deals, and we share them with you. Your AAA or AARP membership may qualify for additional discounts. Many Seniors can qualify for low-mileage discounts.
For some drivers, Progressive rates in Virginia will be the best option along with other larger companies. However, for many others, smaller companies, such as Erie, State Auto, American Family, or Esurance, may offer better prices simply because of the way they rate or specific underwriting guideline niches. If you recently added a teenager or a newer vehicle to your policy, often an unusually excessive premium increase follows. Often, this is an ideal time to request a free quote from our website.
Our Experience And Expertise
Backed by more than 38 years of experience, we feel it is important to simplify the process of purchasing coverage, by allowing you to buy your policy online in approximately 15-25 minutes. There are no fees for using our service and we will help you save a significant amount of time and money. If you have a "special" situation, such as a suspended license, classic cars, out-of-state residences, or non-owned vehicles, we can show you how to provide the best coverage for your specific circumstances. Whether you are a new or experienced driver, affordable options are available.
Most Virginia car companies offer many discounts that can potentially save you hundreds of dollars on your premium. We'll take the time to find those discounts and make them available to you. And since we are independent, all of the prices and information you see is completely unbiased. As carriers add discounts to their policies, they are instantly added to our quote engine.
Although most discounts are well-known, such as "multi-policy," "multi-car," and "55 and retired," there are several other methods of lowering your premium. For example, discounts that apply to young drivers and students make the biggest impact, and we ensure that you qualify for every available reduction that is offered. Students with good grades can often qualify for rate reductions that reduce premiums by $100-$200 per year.
Occasionally, membership in an organization (AAA and AARP for example) may be a great investment, depending on the carrier. For example, spending $60 per year for a AAA membership might save you 5% on your premium. If you're paying $1,000 every six months, the $100 per year reduction is a great deal. Conversely, if your carrier only offers a 2% reduction, the $40 discount won't cover the entire membership.
Low premiums are not the only factor that determines which company might be your best choice. We also feel it is important to consider the rating and safety of the company, how quickly they pay claims, the quality of the coverage you are receiving and the customer service support that you receive. The financial safety (and ratings) are also considered when we recommend a company. The Virginia Department of Insurance monitors companies registered to conduct business in the state, and also approves (or disapproves) any requested rate increases.
We also believe it is imperative to select the companies they are most likely to keep their price in Virginia stable. If your rate is going to substantially increase each year, we know that's not the type of carrier you want to deal with. The stability and dependability of your coverage and premium must always be considered.
Other Products
In addition to your vehicles, we understand that you are likely to have other insurance needs, especially for your personal property and/or home. You may also own rental property, motorcycles, an ATV, boats, a travel trailer, camper or even a golf cart. Since many companies offer large rate reductions for bundling different products, show you the most affordable options when providing coverage for all of your assets.
Sometimes, it's financially prudent to utilize several carriers instead of just one. Since we are independent, we can effectively show you the best products from all of the major companies, instead of just a selected few.
Additional Information:
App-based transportation may finally become a reality in Virginia as ride-share companies Lyft and Uber await possible legislative approval. Although they are temporarily allowed to operate, the new law would impose a $100,000 fee to permanently operate full-time. A $1 million accidental coverage will be required for all persons in the vehicle.
Background checks would be mandatory and as expected, no discriminatory practices would be tolerated. Ride-share companies in many other areas of the country are functioning well and it's expected that the concept would become popular in our state as well.

and my new favorite beetle ring by kenneth Jay Lane.
Here I am wearing a Topshop navy dress with an adorable bow print and my
BCBGMAXAZRIA Ivory sandals. The night got pretty cold and I ended up in
unnecessary shopping. Had to purchase a pair of jeans to keep my giraffe legs warm.
I'm gonna go order a movie now, while I wait for my niece to make me a
sloppy sandwich. ( she adds tons of little surprises on it). I'm so craving for one of those chocolate covered fruits by Edible Arrangements. Bye Dolls!
And as always thank you for all your sweet comments!! XO

The homeowner's goal was a seamless renovation, blending old with new to conjure up a fresh attitude for year-round living without marring the summerhouse spirit. The raffia-covered walls had been redecorated over the years with white paint. "We took them back to the original concept by choosing an updated, natural, raffia-weave wall covering,'' said designer Michael Cox. The wrought-iron chandelier added a contemporary touch.

Welcome to Fuck Yeah! Anastasia Nikolaevna, one of the very first Tumblrs dedicated to anything and everything Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia (18 June 1901 - 17 July 1918).
𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝒯𝓈𝒶𝓇 𝑜𝒻 𝑅𝓊𝓈𝓈𝒾𝒶.
"Olga, the oldest of the four daughters, was generally thought to be the most intelligent of Nicholas and Alexandra's children. A deeply religious, sensitive young woman, Olga possessed a stubborn streak and tendency to depression that occasionally led to clashes with her mother. In temperament and appearence she most resembled her father, whom she adored.
In contrast, Tatiana, the second of the girls, was closest to her mother, and her siblings nicknamed her "The Governess". Naturally thin and elegant, Tatiana had her mother's refined features and unquestioning acceptance of their extraordinary privilege. Even so, she was essentially modest by nature, and while she enjoyed what little she was allowed to experience of society, she disliked the ceremonial etiquette that accompanied her rank: she once kicked a lady-in-waiting out of embarrassment for publicly referring to her as "Your Imperial Highness".
Marie, the third daughter, also the most beautiful. Her thick golden hair and large blue eyes won her many admires; her cousin Prince Louis of Battenberg - the future Lord Mountbatten - was so taken with her that until his 1979 assassination by IRA, he kept a photograph of her beside his bed. Unpretentious and simple in her tastes, Marie was content to dream of one day marrying and raising a large family.
The youngest of the fo ur daughters and destined by history to become the most famous, Anastasia, said one courtier, was "quite unlike any of her sisters, with a type of her own". Lili Dehn, one of the empress's closest friends, called Anastasia "pretty" but noted that "hers was more of a clever face." Her hair was dark blond with a slight golden tinge, and her features "were regular and finely cut." Above all else, it was her gray-blue eyes - "of great luminescence," as Tatiana Botkin, daughter of the imperial family's chief physician, Eugene Botkin, recalled - that attracted attention, vibrant "wells of intelligence," according to Dehn, that were constantly moving and glowed with mischief."

"I am in Tatiana's room. Tatiana and Olga are here… I am sitting and digging in my nose with my left hand. Olga wanted to slap me but I ran away from her swinish hand."
- Anastasia Nikolaevna
OTMA in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971)
the romanov family as portrayed in films/tv.
Today I read and skimmed through a book called "Anastasia" by Colin Falconer. And I was aghast.
Because, ladies and gentlemen, this awful piece of lurid fiction made me both outraged, confused and outraged again. Before we delve into everything wrong, let me just state that HISTORICAL FICTION dealing with REAL peronalities who have been WELL DOCUMENTED should, at least, RESPECT the truth that is easily researched and confirmed by a FRIGGIN GOOGLE SEARCH! Mr. Falconer did not do any research. Or if he did, he probably printed his notes and used them as toilet paper. Otherwise I cannot imagine how this abomination of a book was allowed to take shape at all! This publication is nothing but rape of history, far beyond any tasteful and acceptable line of what should one be allowed when writing about REAL people.
I read first 160 pages, after which I skimmed the rest, not having strentght left to go into detail. The writing is sloppy, disjointed and without any artistic quality that would make it stand out. Within the first forty pages you shall encounter these innacurate t hings, which could be EASILY PREVENTED by just going on Wikipedia!
1) In the beginning the four daughters of the Tsar and their brother are arriving into Ekaterinburg to be reunited with their parents. - In reality Grand Duchess Maria had arrived with her parents months before.
2) "Nurse" Sofia Karlovna mentioned in the book was NOT A NURSE. She was a Lady-in-waiting and she was never even allowed to get out of that train to say her goodbyes. Furthermore nickname "Shura" is used for her, when that was in fact the nickname of the ACTUAL nurse (and by that time MAID) Alexandra Tegleva.
3) Anastasia being RUDE and PROVOKING the Red guards (who in their turn are all unthinking, disgusting animals)
4) The girls constantly being talked about as PRINCESSES. The title was GRAND DUCHESS.
5) Anastasia saying "I AM A PRINCESS AND TILL THIS DAY I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CARRY MY OWN STUFF" when in fact all the im perial children, even before the revolution, would engage in physical work including cleaning their rooms, sawing wood and breaking ice in the spring, not to mention their work in hospitals during the war.
6) Jemmy was Anastasia´s. Tatiana had another dog, Ortipo. And there was yet another dog in the family, Alexei´s Spaniel Joy.
7) The behaviour of the guards in the house is SEVERELY exaggarated (yes there was a guard on duty when they went to the loo but NO the door was not dismantled! NO, Avdeyed did NOT curse in front of the Tsar.
8) Nicholas NEVER LOST HIS COOL, but in the book he is repeatedly RUDE and commanding the guards who in their turns call him slurs in the face.
9) Anastasia hates Alexei because he is such a burden and she is jealous of him! In reality she was his closest friend, loved him unconditionally.
10) There are NO relationships between anyone in the family apparently. Much like there is NOTHING that would scream "relationship" later among the fictional people. But we KNOW that the last Imperial family was EXTREMELY CLOSE and loving.
10) Tatiana is ambushed during her nightly visit to the toilet and RAPED but that is just about it, it leads nowhere, no plot point. THIS NEVER HAPPENED!!!! NONE OF THE GIRLS WAS MOLESTED BY THE RED GUARDS!!! And this whole thing is USELESS!!!!
11) Anastasia is a provokateur who acuses her father of everything being his fault TO HIS FACE. (WTF???!!!)
12) Alexandra is mentioned to be "same age as Nicholas". In fact she was four years his junior.
13) On the night of the murder there are people in the streets because the shooting can be heard all over the city apparently. In fact the streets were empty and the Bolsheviks made sure of that
14) Also there are many quotations about Anastasia - some of which I recognized as genuine, but many are simply made up - including s everal mentioning that she was a devil and deserved to die - but it is NEVER pointed out they are made up!!!!!
15) Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna in the 20s is meantioned as "unhappy" and fat "spinster". In fact she was a trim and content, wedded to Captain Kulikovsky, and mother of two.
16) Grand Duke Kyril is Tsar´s brother in the book. He was his cousin.
17) Grand Duke Ernst of Hesse (brother of the last Empress) wants to be Tsar of Russia. WTF??!!! He was a German princeling with NO claim. And he NEVER EVER wanted to be the Tsar.
18) And I forgot this thing: Alexei Nikolaevich DEMANDS a chocolate from a guard, is NASTY and RUDE to him and when the guard is provoked Nagorny stops him from harming Alexei, for which he is taken away and shot. In reality Nagorny did not want to let a guard steal a little golden cross from the boy. For THAT he was taken away. But in this book Anastasia does not forget to BLAME ALEXEI for Nagorny´s death.
I just could not go on…. This book is TRASH of the lowest order. Authors need to STOP USING THE ROMANOVS AS PLOT DEVICE IF THEY ARE NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY TO PORTRAY THEM AS THEY WERE.
If you want to read decent and good Romanov fiction, just read these: The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar The Lost Crown or even better the non-fiction like Nicholas and Alexandra or Romanov Autumn: Stories from the Last Century of Imperial Russia
lmabee replied to your photoset "So guess where I went last night"
How was it?? I'm debating flying cross country for this.
I think it was worth every penny, personally! More beneath the cut to save your dashboards.

Monogrammed Steak Brand & Carving Board
Backyard chefs who take pride in their grilling can sear their own initials into steaks and chops with an iron brand that's hand forged by a Texas cattle rancher. Made in the USA, our custom set lets you put a signature on every grilled meal.
- Set includes a customized brand and a personalized John McLeod carving board.
- Hand-forged iron brand is an authentic miniature version of the cattle brands used for centuries to identify livestock and designate ranch families.
- Made of sustainably harvested New England birch, the board has a well to catch meat juices.
- Includes a wall-mounting storage rack for the brand.
- Choose single, double or triple initials. All letters will be of equal height and weight.
- A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
Dimensions & More Info
- Brand: 11 1/2" long; 1 1/4"-high letters.
- Carving board: 16" x 11".
- Storage rack: 3 1/2" x 14" high.
- Made in USA.
- Due to the nature of the materials used, additional time is required to create this personalized item. You should allow four to five weeks for delivery of your steak brand and carving board.
Use & Care
- The brand's protective coating of paint will burn off during the first heating.
- Place the brand on hot coals, a gas range or an electric burner. Just before serving your food, hold the heated brand with a protective pad and brand the meat with a gentle top-to-bottom and side-to-side motion.
- Before storing the brand for an extended time, spread a few drops of cooking oil over the metal to provide a protective coating. The oil will burn off completely on the next use.
Carving Board
- Season board with a food-grade mineral oil before first use. Warm the mineral oil slightly and apply it in the direction of the wood grain using a clean, dry cloth. Allow the oil to soak in and repeat with another application. Let the board dry and wipe off any excess oil.
- If the brand becomes rusted or dirty, clean it gently with steel wool or a wire brush, or rub it lightly with sandpaper.
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rusting.
Carving Board
- Hand-wash with hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
- Do not soak or submerge in water.
- Occasionally rub with a food-safe mineral oil to keep wood from drying out.
- To sanitize, wash with a solution of one part vinegar to five parts water.
- Remove odors by rubbing the board with kosher or le salt and half a lemon. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Remove excess moisture with a clean paper towel and stand the board on end to air dry.
- Store in a dry area away from extreme temperatures.

The nation's top law enforcement agencies, facing new scrutiny after the Fast and Furious investigation, say they do not know how often their agents allow informants to commit crimes.
WASHINGTON — The nation's top drug and gun enforcement agencies do not track how often they give their informants permission to break the law on the government's behalf.
U.S. Justice Department rules put strict limits on when and how agents at the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can authorize their informants — often drawn from the ranks of the criminals they are investigating — to commit a crime. But both the ATF and DEA acknowledged, in response to open-records requests and in written statements, that they do not track how often such permission is given.
That routine, if controversial, tactic has come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of the bungled "Fast and Furious" gun-trafficking investigation, which allowed 2,000 weapons to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels and other criminals. A report by the Justice Department's Inspector General found that ATF agents failed to get authorization from their superiors before they allowed gun dealers to sell weapons to suspected cartel operatives.

Today I Die Again for iPhone available free today only
Posted by Drea Avellan Categories: Games, App Updates, iPad Apps, Sales, Free Apps,
In conjunction with Free App A Day (FAAD), Atakamalabs has released the popular IndieCade Jury Award winning title rewrite, Today I Die Again by Daniel Benmergui, completely free. Today I Die Again is a thought provoking adventure using words as means to action.
The scene opens underwater with the body of a dead woman floating lifeless in the dark. The rock tied around her waist suggests that her demise was no accident. A poem floats above her: "hopeless world / full of shadows / today I die"
Players must use the floating glowing words or reveal hidden ones to help you transform the ever-present poem in order to progress through the game. All along the way you battle the dark creatures from the depths in effort to break through to the surface. The oddly creative music score sets the mood perfectly as you are immersed deeper into this pixelated world. Today I Die Again is truly a unique game unlike any other, exploring new ways to express emotions through a video game experience.
Today I Die Again is available free on the iTunes store for iPhone and iPod Touch.
Cover Orange review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, $0.99,
Last month a little gem popped unnoticed on the App Store named Cover Orange. Following a recent promotion giving away the game for free, it has now reached the top 10 list on iTunes. The premise is for you to move from level to level, protecting oranges from acid rain. The first thing you notice is how similar this one is to Angry Birds, from the way the levels are made, to the physics properties that the gameplay relies on. In this case, instead of throwing birds offensively, you have to protect your oranges from the nasty clouds and their acid rain.
Both the graphics and sounds are amazing, with the oranges themselves thanking you for saving them. The animations are excellent, with everything flowing nicely from one sequence to the next. Solving physics puzzles is the meat of the game, and you get access to various objects to try and cover your oranges with, like barrels and wheels, by interacting with the other items on the level. High scores are linked to the Game Center, but it's just a lot of fun solving each level. The controls are extremely simple, you simply grab objects and let them drop where you want, and watch how they interact with the level.
The game costs $0.99 and is available for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It comes with 120 levels, 40 of them being new as of the latest update. The video trailer shows the game well, and at this price, it really is a must have.

Coke Zero releases first location based game, LiveCycle
Posted by Drea Avellan Categories: Games, New Apps, Free Apps,
Who knew Coke Zero would be in the forefront of gaming innovation? Last week, Coca-Cola released "the first ever location-based videogame" called LiveCycle.
LiveCyle is based on Disney's TRON: Legacy film and the premise of the game is to move around the real world real to create a Light Wall and derezz your opponents, and avoid being derezzed by theirs. The Coke Zero websites offers a trailer of the game which makes it seem like a pretty fun idea, though there is a lack of actually gameplay. Real gaming innovation or interactive advertising? You decide! Play the game and let us know in the comments!
Live Cycle is available in the iTunes stores for the low, low price of $0.00. Download it here.

Infinity Blade review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, $5.99,
Infinity Blade was released yesterday, the first true game to run on the new Unreal Engine for iPhone. As such, it's been previewed and hyped a lot in the past months. At a $5.99 price point for the universal app that works on both the iPhone and iPad, was it worth the wait?
First, just like the Unreal demo Epic Citadel was, this game right from the start impresses with it's graphics and sceneries. As you start, the initial cinematic shows you a little bit of back story as to what you'll be fighting for, and the 3D environment seen on the screen is quite impressive. On both the iPhone 4 and iPad, the graphics use the latest tricks, usually reserved to console gaming, to provide a stunning experience. Adding to that is an impressive musical score, playing throughout the game and providing a great gaming experience.

By Mike Flacy, Digital Trends
As mentioned by the BBC News recently, a 17-year-old girl was visiting her grandmother in Sydney, Australia when she took a picture of a "large sum of cash" while helping her grandmother count her cash savings at the home. The teenager posted the picture on her Facebook feed around 4 p.m. on Thursday May 24. Approximately seven hours later, two masked men armed with a wooden club and a knife entered the girl's family home 75 miles away in the town of Bundanoon. Upon entering the family home, the men found the 47-year-old mother of the girl as well as a 58-year-old man and 14-year-old boy, likely her father and brother.
When speaking to the family, the two men wanted to talk to the girl about the sum of money in the picture that was posted on Facebook. After the girl's mother convinced the two armed men that her daughter no longer lived at the address, they "took a small amount of cash and other personal property before leaving the house" according to the official police statement regarding the incident.
While no one was injured during the robbery, it's clear that the two men were able to determine the location of the home from information posted on the teenage girl's Facebook account. It's also possible that at least one of the two men were friends with the girl on Facebook and were aware of the location of her family's home.
Also within the official statement, the police reminded the public to be careful of the type of information that's posted on social networks like Facebook. With the rise in popularity of geotagging photos with location data prior to posting on a social network, Facebook users may want to use groups to limit the amount of sharing among their entire friend's list and avoid using public posts when publishing personal information or location data.

For those who want the benefits of both Glycolic and Lactic we offer this combination peel that combines 25% Glycolic with 35% Lactic. You get all of the improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the Glycolic.
Although this peel is 60% total acid, it is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels of the skin.
Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. This is like Salicylic on steroids. You should expect some visible "flaking" of the skin two days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems. This peel is best for helping problem skin.
Available in one strength: BHA+.
This peel is best for pigmentation and scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which help fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or scars, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.
Available in one strength: HQ+.

You have a unique medical history. Therefore, it is essential to talk with your doctor about your personal risk factors and/or experience with peptic ulcers. By talking openly and regularly with your doctor, you can take an active role in your care.
Here are some tips that will make it easier for you to talk to your doctor:
- Bring someone else with you. It helps to have another person hear what is said and ask questions you might not have thought to ask.
- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and ask for clarification, if necessary.
- Don't be afraid to ask where you can find more information about what you are discussing. You have a right to know.
- What might have caused my peptic ulcer?
- How might I have come into contact with Helicobacter pylori?
- Should we be taking any special precautions to prevent other family members from contracting H. pylori?
- Could my ulcer recur?
- How can I tell if my ulcer is recurring?
- What can I do to lower my risk of developing a peptic ulcer?
- What can I do to lower my risk of recurrence?
- I'm using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Is there anything I can do to decrease my risk of developing a peptic ulcer?
- Will I need an antibiotic?
- Should I take more than one antibiotic?
- What other medications will I need?
- Will I need any surgical procedures?
- Should I stop smoking?
- What smoking cessation programs might be helpful?
- Should I stop drinking alcohol?
- What is the chance that I'll develop a complication?
- What is the chance that my ulcer will recur?
- What is the chance that I could develop gastric cancer?

I once hated rap as a whole for a long time too. But with some help from my teenage niece, B.o.B, Eminem, Bruno Mars and Rihanna, songs like "Nothin' On You," "The Way You Lie," and "Airplanes" initially got my attention, in which I noticed someone figured out how to incorporate a nice mix of singing and mild rap and, as PI51 said, with quality instrumentals and lyrics with true meanings behind them.
I agree with another post in which someone suggested that B.o.B needs to get together with Bruno Mars more; those two could really tear it up (as long as Bruno keeps himself out of trouble with the law)! B.o.B's "Adventures" is the first album I have ever bought under this genre of music. There is a very good reason why!
....Yeah! ..... and that is how we do it .... and I'm gonna let this ride .... B.o.B ... and Bruno Mars! (Why?) "Cuz they got Nothin' On You (n-n-n-nothin' on you, n-nothin' on you)!
You know, I hated on rap as a whole for a long time, but let me just say that you most definitely helped me to realize that it isn't right to generalize an entire genre based on an assumption. It is very refreshing to me to hear a nice mix of singing and rapping with quality instrumentals and lyrics that actually have true meaning behind them.
No Future went soooo hard!!! We always would bump that song in the locker room before every track meet!!
dude your mix-tapes are awesome!!! No Genre was one of the best things I've heard in a long while. Then your CD was very " Radio Friendly". i was wondering if your next album is going to be more hard, take no shit, mix-tape music, or more like a songs for the radio, so everybody like me CD?
hi b.o.b,i love your songs,but do you have new songs 2011?because i heard all your old songs,i just want something new
Baby you should go with me
Cause I can be the one you need
It is something about the way you are
You're my superstar
And I am your number one fan
Baby I'm your number one fan
said I'm your number one fan
Baby I'm your number one fan
I'll be your number one fan
I love all the song of B.o.B ! I'm your number 1 fan ? I have 46 song including B.o.B in my ipod! I know all of them by heart!??????? I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH????
WHERE CAN I GET "BEAST MODE"???!!! I want to downloaded ( and pay for it :)...but I cant find it ANYWHERE!!!... I'm ready to GO IN over not finding this song LOL
Oi! Sou brasileira, moro em Marilia-SP! Eu amo o B.o.B. , as musicas dele são muito boas, e principalmente Magic!Parece que sinto a magica em mim quando ouço essa musica!?kk
new york new york great song but you NEED TO GET IT ON ITUNES before people start forgetting about it!
Olá , sou Brasileira i carioca , amoo todas as música , mais oq amei quando ouvii foi : 'Nothin 'On You Marte Bruno ft' .. Foi amor a primeira "ouvida" Rs ?
