It was the typical Thursday morning with Bible study heading the day's agenda. I loaded my book bag and purse and left our driveway at 7:30 – right on schedule. The heated seat was reason for praise – a winter preview had made a grand entrance.
Over the Tallahatchie, Etta's landmark, and up the winding hill past Hwy 349 – buses and cars were converging into Hwy 30. I rounded the next curve and WHAM! It blinded me! The rising sun had hit full intensity and totally filled my view with its blazing light. My windshield, still spotted from the last rain, didn't help matters.
I immediately slowed the car to a crawl as I crept toward that section of the highway where I would be free of the blinding light. The curve straightened out, but my mind rotated backwards. That was the same early morning fall rays that slowed our vehicle down when Tahya, Eli and I went to school at West Union. I remembered that spot that told us our earth was altering its tilt, and winter was on its way. "UMM," I sighed to myself. If "Memories" had been playing on the radio, I would have had to pull off the highway and blown my nose!
Before that memory was faded, I recalled taking Mother to her beauty shop appointment on Fridays. It had been that same treacherous sun-blazed curve that convinced her she wanted me to become her chauffer. She had struggled to maintain her independence after Daddy died, but that pre-winter blind spot on Hwy 30 won the struggle.
How different everything was now. Eli and Tahya are involved in transporting their own children to school and live three and a half hours from our Etta driveway – in opposite directions. The days of carrying Mother to appointments are no more.
It was with those nostalgic thoughts that another light popped on in my mind. God's creation of man's habitat was still orbiting and tilting to His design. That blind spot will blaze onto Hwy 30 at precisely the same time each year while circumstances change, and we leave this life like "a vapor that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away."
A strengthening verse from Malachi pushed me on to Bible study: "I am the LORD, and I do not change." It was time for a hymn of praise – "Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed most glorious the Ancient of Days, Almighty, Victorious – Thy great name we praise!

Now's the time to plan that trip to India and the Taj Mahal, the world's greatest monument ever built in the name of love. In April 2017 the Taj's main dome will undergo a facelift with mud-pack therapy used to restore the gleaming white of the marble used to build the structure. Scaffolding will cover the main dome for as long as the cleaning process takes, which is expected to be up to a year, so for uninterrupted views and perfect shots of the Taj Mahal dome, get there quick!

Recommended places to visit in India
India is as diverse as it is vast, with traditions, local culture and cuisine varying considerably from region to region. Compiling a 'best of' is no easy feat, but to get you going with planning your trip, here's a few of our favourite places to visit:
Darjeeling - Tea CentralView on map
A perfect spot to sip your daily cuppa and with tea plantations aplenty, Darjeeling sits at an altitude of 2,200 metres with a backdrop of mighty snow-clad Himalayan peaks. A visit to the nearby Ghoom monastery is a must and there's plenty of of fabulous trekking in the surrounding area too.
Agra - Home of the Taj MahalView on map
An absolute must-see for a first time visit to India and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the incredible Taj Mahal in Agra will probably lure you back to India again in no time at all! Try our Taj Traveller trip which includes a day in Agra visiting both the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.
The Golden Temple - AmritsarView on map
As the spiritual and cultural centre of the Sikh religion, Amritsar is home to Harimandir Sahib, better known in the West as The Golden Temple. Constructed of white marble, bronze and gold leaf, the Golden Temple looks absolutely stunning at night and a must-see. The local food from Amritsar is renowned too and be sure not to miss the colourful daily Goodnight Ceremony, also known as the Wagah-Attari Border retreat
Ranthambhore - Tiger Country!View on map
There's an abundance of wildlife at Ranthambhore and if you're lucky you might spot a tiger or two. It's also home to the impressive 10th century Ranthambhore Fort, a top location for bird watching. Consider our Shere Khan trip for a couple of relaxing days at Ranthambhore after taking in the key sites of India's North.
Varanasi - The Holy CityView on map
Set on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is considered the holiest of places in India and has been a centre of learning and civilization for over 2000 years. Visiting Varanasi can be an assault on the senses, but it's certainly rewarding and you'll definitely feel like you've truly seen India. Don't miss out on a sunrise boat ride down the Ganges.
Jaipur - The Pink CityView on map
With 18th century Jantar Mantar, an impressive City Palace complex and the lofty Amber fort, there's good reason why Jaipur forms the third point (after Delhi and Agra) on India's famed Golden Triangle. Jaipur has a vibrant city market too, a top spot to spend a few hours late afternoon after a day exploring the cities sites.
Udaipur - The Lake CityView on map
One of Rajasthan's gems, the city of lakes, Udaipur is a firm favourite for travellers to India. Highlights include the famous lake side City Palace, the 18th century haveli museum of Bagore-ki-haveli, and the impressive Monsoon Palace perched hillside overlooking the lake. A boat ride for lunch at the exquisite Taj Lake Palace is a real highlight too.
Kerala - The Beautiful SouthView on map
Visit Kerala's quaint and historic capital Kochi, spend a day on a rice boat on tranquil backwaters, head to hilly tea plantations at Munnar, discover wildlife at Periyar and top your holiday off at one of Kerala's laid back beaches on the Arabian Sea.

Skip to comments.Election underway as 1.9 million Colorado ballots are mailed to voters (> 1/2 mailed on 10/15/12)
Posted on 10/17/2012 7:18:42 PM PDT by catnipman
DENVER Colorado voters could be filling out their ballots as early as Tuesday, with 1.95 million ballots now in the mail and on their way to voters across this critical swing state.
Of the 3.6 million registered voters in the state, more than half of them are receiving mail ballots this week.
According to Secretary of State Scott Gesslers office, 1,950,185 ballots are being mailed out Monday.
Of those, 598,503 are being sent to unaffiliated voters; 673,676 are being sent to registered Republicans; and 654,129 are being mailed to registered Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at kdvr.com ...
Voted straight R, and NO on everything else, including all tax increases and all BS liberal initiatives.
673k to Rs, 654 to Ds. Romney doesn't even need Is to break his way, just stay 50/50 and this is a win.
Can young people and college students afford this tax? Obama will probably use Executive privilege to go along with this.
Probably not a winning issue. Yes, they hate the internet tax, but it's not something they vote on. It's not something they can see yet-—no harms . . . yet.
CO absentees, 673-654k so far. Rs killing it. WHAT THE HELL AM I MISSING? THIS IS THE SAME AS OH-—HOW ARE ANY OF THESE STATES CLOSE with these numbers? We aren't even counting Is, and are assuming a 50/50 split. If they go even 1% for Romney these are all blowouts.
Has Colorado (or any other state) mailed out any military ballots yet ?
Where do you find data on Colorado absentees?
Can you explain "polling distribution?" You mean the % breakdown of Rs/Ds/Is in recent polls?
Ollie North said regardless of what's reported in the news, the ballots are getting to the military in time to be included.
Whoa! I assumed these were absentees!!! But they aren't-—they are EARLY votes!! BETTER BETTER BETTER.
Could those 23,877 be registered members of minor parties? Just a thought.
That's down from our starting point of 268,000 just a month ago.
Not following: So on election day it should be +1 R and Rs lead by almost 20k votes already on early voting. What are you saying?
Well, what I am saying is that in 2008 the turnout in CO was +1R, +7R in 2004. The GOTV needs to get to at least +4R to be safe.
OOoooooh. You're saying that even with +1 in 08 it went with ZEro? Yeah, but remember, I think 08 absolutely sui generis: NO Republicans are going to vote for ZEro this time around.
I don't know what that means - a 60,000 vote differential via absentee ballots, early voters or on election day or in total?
This isn't tough at all. I think we'll see two counties, Warren and Hamilton, give us at least 30k gain over 08; and if Romney wins just 51% of Is, he wins the state by 3-4 points.
"Has Colorado (or any other state) mailed out any military ballots yet ?"
I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about military ballots.
Repubs are killing it in NC, almost 2 for every 1 Dem, but again I must point out that in mail-in absentees in 2008 we saw the exact same thing, and that Dems overcame it in-person. So while I hope you're right about OH, I still don't feel safe in drawing similar conclusions about NC from the numbers so far.
Yeah, each state is different. In OH Repubs own election day itself.
That is very good news.
I got mine as well. Will turn it in in person. I will leave nothing to chance. My daughter who goes to college in Nebraska is home on fall break-she will turn hers in before leaving this weekend. We need every vote this time
Ballot came today. Will savor it tomorrow. Courthouse is about 6 blocks away.
I did the same thing.
Voted straight R, and NO on everything else, including all tax increases - and NO on retention of the judges.
These are not absentees. In Colorado you have the option of being a permanent mail in voter. Some of our elections are done only by mail In ballots and you have the option of doing mail in for every election. A great many Colorado voters have chosen this option, and the ballots were mailed on 10/15. They can be mailed back or dropped in person at specified sites
Got mine today! I'd vote already, but I gotta check out the judges and the rest of the local initiatives.
Hmmm, yeah, the Tancredo 3rd party deal, in which Tancredo, running for Governor on a 3rd Party ticket(at the last minute after the GOP candidate turned out to be a total flake) and took 2nd place....hmmm.
Me too. I really don't want to trust my ballot with USPS. I hand deliver mine, thank you!
You might find a starting point at the Secretary of State web site: https://www.sos.state.co.us/voter-classic/secuRegVoterIntro.do
Yes, please hand-deliver.
Some nast Post Office worker working in GOP-dominant precincts can simply ditch a couple bags worth, knowing that MOST of the "lost" ballots will be GOP ballots.
Don't worry.... I'm leaving nothing to chance!
"but I gotta check out the judges and the rest of the local initiatives."
As a rule of thumb, if you vote NO on all taxes and initiatives you'll be doing the right thing. That said, I did read the blue book and it did confirm that NO votes were the only way to go in my neck of the woods.
I didn't vote at all on the judges because I had no good way to easily judge them and was too lazy to research. I suppose I may have passed up a good opportunity to protest against some lib judges, but to my knowledge there haven't been any horribly outrageous rulings lately, so I wasn't terribly motivated. I do admire your conviction to make the effort to figure out what to do about the judges.
That's odd.
What does he have to say about THIS ?
Military ballots still AWOL as states fail to mail
Jurisdictions in Vermont, Michigan, Mississippi and Wisconsin have failed to mail absentee ballots to military members by the Sept. 22, 2012, deadline established by the [Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment] Act.

The WSJ's Jason Zweig and Tom McGinty have a close look at the phenomenon known as "marking the close" or "portfolio pumping." Read the whole thing – Zweig and McGinty deliver a a fascinating look into a practice that's widely known to exist but is tough to quantify and even harder to prove.
Those terms refer to those cases when a portfolio manager triggers a surge in a stock they already own at the end of a quarter by buying up shares, with the aim of juicing results. If you guessed that the artificial burst of price-enhancing demand is temporary, it appears you're correct.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of daily trading in roughly 10,000 stocks since 2004 found that on the final trading day of each quarter, there was a sharp increase in the number of stocks that beat the market by at least five percentage points, then trailed it by three points or more the next trading day.
The Journal's analysis compared the performance of those 10,000 stocks to the one-day return of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. On days that didn't end the quarter, an average of 217 stocks beat that index by at least 5 percentage points then trailed it by at least three the next day. But on the final trading days of quarters, an average of 280 stocks did.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.

text: Grand Junction Community Path The Grand Junction Community Path will run alongside the existing tracks in the Grand Junction corridor from the Boston University Bridge connecting to the planned extension of the Somerville Community Path being constructed as part of the Green line Extension. We believe the path can be created while maintaining current rail operations and accommodating a "bus rapid transit" alignment using a portion of the corridor. It will provide a continuous pathway for residents, schoolchildren, workers and visitors to stroll, jog, or bike along a linear park connecting several neighborhoods with each other, with commercial areas, and with regional resources such as the Charles River. Image courtesy of the Friends of the Grand Junction Path At the northern end the path will provide access, via the Community Path extension through North Point, to the Charles River pathways, Downtown Boston, and Charlestown to the east, and to Davis Square, Alewife, and the Minuteman Path to the west which serves Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford. At the southern end, connections to the Charles River Pathways and the BU Bridge serve Back Bay and the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, and provide regional access to Brighton, Watertown, Newton and Waltham. Starting in 2013, the Community Development Department has allocated staff time to accelerate the planning process for the Grand Junction Community path project, with monthly internal planning meetings and regular coordination with stakeholders, including the newly-formed Friends of the Grand Junction Community Path organization. Connectivity to the Grand Junction Path and its role as a connector in the public space network will also be an important element of the upcoming Eastern Cambridge Kendall Square Open Space Planning Competition. Other efforts include engaging the Civil Engineering department at Northeastern University to obtain assistance from a graduate student in conducting preliminary evaluations of various design options to connect the Grand Junction path to the planned Somerville Community Path extension. In addition, in October of 2014, MIT released a report assessing the feasibility of constructing the path along the portion within their property from Memorial Drive to Main Street.

Dress Your New with Contemporary Pendant Lighting
A home needs great light. Clean styled mini pendants are seen more and more in homes, and is not only functional but provides a beautiful light and can give the area a stylish look and feel. Contemporary kitchen pendant lights looks great over casual breakfast nooks, kitchen islands, or dining room tables. They have fabric shades and come in metal and glass varieties so there is something to fit every personal home decorating taste. Redecorating does not only include painting, wallpaper, and décor but it includes adding great lighting in order to tie it all in together.
Contemporary pendant lighting can be found in inverted and down light fixtures. The inverted pendant lighting faces towards the ceiling causing indirect lighting which helps eliminate some of the glare. These pendant lighting fixtures are best used in places in which an ambient light is desired. Down light pendant lighting directs light downward and are best used in areas for reading, working, or playing pool. Contemporary pendant lighting can be found in colored glass, pewter, and steel varieties.
Pendant lighting can offer a unique look to the home and unlike lamps they do not take up space on tables and floors. They can be used with energy saving light bulbs as well which will help lower the monthly electric bill. This will prove to be a plus for a home buyer if the home ever needs to be sold.
When choosing indoor pendant lighting it is important not to choose a fixture that is too large for the desired space as they can easily overtake the area. This is not something to do if the lighting is not intended to be the main focal point. Contemporary pendant lighting is a fabulous way to update a space with ambient or even more prominent light. There are many local home décor stores and stores online that offer this type of lighting so go ahead and redecorate.

Remember a few weeks ago when activists dive-bombed the Versace facebook page demanding they stop the sandblasting process of their jeans, and they responded ever-so-gracefully by closing down their facebook wall? Well, it looks like the people have won.
"Italian fashion house bans sandblasting, a dangerous practice used to give jeans a 'worn' look, after 1,200 people called for action on Change.org. The Italian fashion house Gianni Versace has committed to ban the dangerous practice of sandblasting jeans, a technique used to give jeans a used look which is highly dangerous to workers.
The news follows a two-month international campaign by the Clean Clothes Campaign on Change.org, the world's fastest-growing social action platform. More than 1,200 people from all over the world joined the campaign.
Sandblasting is a process by which workers fire sand under high pressure at jeans. It has been known to kill workers in garment producing countries like Turkey and Bangladesh, where jean sandblasting is done manually. The large amounts of silica dust generated during sandblasting can cause silicosis, a potentially lethal pulmonary disease, as workers inhale tiny particles of silica.
Following pressure from over 1,200 activists, Versace conducted a review of its clothing suppliers and announced that, effective immediately, suppliers would be banned from using sandblasting.
"Following more recent CCC's comments on Versace's practices, the company decided to study the issue in depth again and concluded, in agreement with CCC, that it is appropriate to take a proactive stance, and stand against the practice of sandblasting," said Versace's Tomaso Galli in a letter to Change.org. "Versace has specifically asked every supplier (and will ask any new supplier as a condition to work with Versace) to certify that they are not using sandblasting."
Galli said that any supplier found to be employing sandblasting as a production technique "will be considered in breach of contract and dismissed accordingly."
"What has happened here is incredible," said Meredith Slater, an organizer with Change.org. "Versace customers called on the company to ban a practice that endangered workers, and the company responded by saying that it would not only ban the practice, but stand up for the elimination of sandblasting throughout the industry."
Versace joins Gucci, H&M and C&A in taking a stance against sandblasting and encouraging other jean producers to do the same. The Clean Clothes Campaign has now set its sights on the high-end brands Dolce & Gabbana and Armani, both of which still refuse to engage in dialogue about their brands' sandblasting practices."
In a word, awesome.

Skip to comments.Mullen: Troops Who Balk at Change in Gay Service Policy Can Find Other Work
Posted on 12/02/2010 9:41:33 AM PST by US Navy Vet
Military members who have a problem with a change in policy to allow gays to serve openly may find themselves looking for a new job, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Thursday.
Mullen told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing that the military is based on meritocracy, "what you do, not who you are." He said if Congress changes the don't ask, don't tell policy then the U.S. military will comply.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
IE, "Christians not welcome in the US armed forces".
Meritocracy based on gender and race.
Ask any military member who served during bubba terms in office.
One defines the other.
Anyone who doesn't wish to join Hitler's Schutzstaffel may seek out other work...
Congress can do whatever they want. Infantry units wil salute and say Yes Sir. But, these guys know how to deal with gays in combat units.
What more do you need to know about Mullen?
I never understood why that was never challenged by Congress, for they have the only numerated powers for the rules and regulations of the military.
I dunno if Obama would create a EO for gays.
The military was destroyed the moment the idiot population elected a foreign enemy into the executive branch.
As long as we have these 50 millions worthless numbskulls, there is absolutely no hope for this nation.
how can he separate "what" a warrior is with his/her actions? He is in la la land... someone who has different values/standards/ethics/and most important, LOYALTIES, is not going to be a good warrior! look at the he/she Manning... what was "its" loyalties? the welfare of the troops? NO! the welfare of the homos? YES!
"what you do, not who you are."
Who you are determines what you do. It's a character thing.
Mullen will come to regret that statement. A lot of troops ARE going to walk as a result of this.
Long gone are the days when senior military leaders actually stood strongly for what was best for the Armed Forces.
Yup, outing another National Disgrace behind the Fuhrer.
Cue up the Village People
Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet
In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)
Mullen, you're a disgrace!
what a bunch of hooey...
What happens when the entire Marine Corps opts for other work?
With the proposition of allowing alien invaders to become citizens if they sign up and inclusion of gays and women well er, perhaps the real warriors SHOULD transfer to other occupations. There is nothing right about all of this.
Who needs foreign enemies with so many enemies within???
Well Admiral Mullin good luck with that!
Survey results say that up to 24% of troops will not stay. Since those most opposed are the combat arms, if 10% walked, that would mean that 250,000 troops leave, that is more than the entire Marine Corps!
What is so disgusting is that Gates in retiring and Mullins will serve out his term and be done as well. Both will walk away never having to face the consequences of their actions!!!
Everything has become Tyranny by the minority.
Mullen is a prime example of top leadership that FAILED.
What a SH!T-FOR-BRAINS MORON
Was that part in the survey they took?
I wish I had made a note of an article posted here a few weeks back. A freeper who is current military mentioned a poll where they were asked to vote on DADT and the freeper said overwhelmingly active duty personell did not want gays openly serving. Then the poll comes out and it is the opposite. Imagine that.
Mullen was appointed by Bushie 43.
This guy Mullen has got to go. I don't know how it can be forced as long as Obama in C-I-C, but somehow or other, he has got to go. He's beginning to make Wesley Clark almost look good.
thank heavens what you say is true. I surely don't want any warrior who is fighting for me and America to be put in danger because of a he/she who's liable to break down in tears under stress, or worse yet, not take orders. Homos don't want to serve America - their cause is their homo agenda.
That will justify the draft.
The draft is a leftist's wet dream.
It reduces the effectiveness of the military. Check.
It forces "the rich" to serve. (not really, but) Check.
It causes the electorate to be reluctant about using military force in America's interests. Check.
And the #1 reason the left loves the draft:
It makes something that formerly was voluntary, compulsory.
Being a Friend of Bill had nothing to do with my promotions, really.
*shaking head*
Whatever happened to "Be All you Can Be"??
In our times the criminal, the bungled, the defective and the perverted are favored by the leadership class. Already the normal, the healthy and the law abiding are being punished.
Well, okie dokie, Admiral, but who is going to fight your wars?!
This little bastard who is a leading gay activist who leaked classified information to Wikileaks?!
The rotten thing about this is that you can't prove a negative......if this comes to pass, anytime a homosexual is inconvenienced, passed over, shunned, offended, mocked, criticized or generally made to feel bad - it will be because they are "gay" and to prove otherwise will be very difficult. Additionally, I wonder if Ad. Mullen would like his boy next to an HIV+ soldier in a fierce firefight....if they haven't thrown their weapon down and run away already.
What is the problem these people have with just keeping their mouths shut?
Sodomite ARE defined by what they do! They have spent years defining themselves by what they do. There one of the only groups in the world who define themselves by what they do. That's probably one of the stupidest comments ever made! He's the chairman of our Joint Chiefs? Ugh!
The entire controversy is over "what you do" - it is about a behavior, not about a name or an ethnicity.
"MILITARY: Marines lead opposition to repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'"
Homosexuality is also about "what you do, not what you are".
You know, If I were a crazy conspiratorial type, I'd wonder how it might affect the behavior of our military if Obama were to ever seize emergency powers... after having purposely driven out many of those in the military who might have opposed him. Good thing that'll never happen.
yah...the Women at Sea Program carried much the same threat. When I was onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Air Boss called an Air Department muster, and he told us in no uncertain terms that there would be dire consequences for any kind of sexual harassment of the females who were about to join us for three weeks of CarQuals off the Vacapes OpArea.
"If one of them is heading toward a spinning prop, and you tackle her and save her life, but touch her tits when you do, you will end up in the brig."
The Navy has had problems with Women at Sea, especially with Auxiliary and support vessels like tenders where many of them land for their sea duty tour, when many of them simply popped pregnant and departed the Command overseas partway through a scheduled deployment leaving the ship undermanned in more than a few shipboard divisions.
If DADT is redacted, Mullen will find himself in a very awkward position; potentially prosecuting productive sailors who will not put up with homosexuals quietly. This is just insanity, and it will not end well. Unfortunately we will find out the hard way just how destructive this BS will be when the troops start voting with their feet and leaving the service.
Thank you for posting that. The MOST frustrating thing is that the press could care less about national security as long as they keep pressing their agenda. The irony is they put their own families at risk as well. they must be breathtakingly stupid.
Mullen needs to find another line of work. He is unfit to lead.
Ah, so that's what he looks like. Rush was correct. That little freak IS a pencil necked, fundament loving little scumbag. Or something to that effect. lol
Ah, so that's what he looks like. Rush was correct. That little freak IS a pencil necked, fundament loving little scumbag. Or something to that effect. lol
What do you think is the probability of a rash of openly homosexual Sailors or shipboard Marines "accidentally" slipping in the shower, falling down a ladder, falling overboard, etc?
Obviously Mullen never heard of the saying that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".....Can any say how ending DADT will improve combat effectivness? OIF vet.
So, if "who you are" is a traitor, that's not a problem for him?

Too perfect for words! Just order 1/2 size down
"I tried these on in-store yesterday and fell head-over-heals in love. They are great quality, stylish and comfortable. I happened to be in the "7" section, though I'm typically a 7 1/2. I faitefully stumbled upon these and tried them on, the 7 fit like a glove, a very comfortable one at that. But, I'm a bargain shopper and even on sale, they were $50 bucks- I passed. Couldn't stop thinking about them, so I looked at DSW.com- there they were on sale for $35!! BOUGHT THEM! If you're doubting them....just do it! Plus use your rewards coupons and free shipping!"

Nice chapter and all but who and the hell did he just went and visit? Is it the guy who made the rings because that's the only person I can think of at the moment.
@Zero if that's case good plan on Tsuna's part. Who knew Lambo would be the one you would lead Tsuna to his answer.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
^ I think that's it, especially since Bermuda already refilled his own pacifier with a new flame and thus is still alive(?) and kicking, or so he seems to . It's hard to say because he is in an arcobaleno form, has a clear pacifier (not stone like the rest of Vindice) and is covered by his clothes, and bandages. Not to mention, the future arc, where beside non-7-policy they didn't seem or mention of dying before it, where they are already dying out.
An explanation to why they could survive that long in the future arc, can be that the curse was limited thanks to Byakuran, thus extending their lifespans, but that is assuming that non-7-policy was activated around this time or in an near future(1-3 years).
Well, I can think of one more, the missing part of the Tirniset, the Mare rings. Their disappearance from this time line might have quickened their doom.
Hmmmm, of course, it might not be just refilling it with a new flames, but even mixing them. Hard to say, as what Lambo did can be interpreted in a few ways.
What's more, there is a need to consider one more thing. Tsuna is capable of absorbing and changing flames to his own. Perhaps he came with an idea on how to change that absorbed flame (from people he visited), to someone else's. If you think about it logically, the Sky flames are a combination of all the 6 flames... I think , anyway it balances them at least.
I certainly agree that the purpose is to refill the lights of the pacifiers. While it would perpetuate the curse (I think), it would indeed add years to the lives of the Arcobaleno. I am under the impression also that Tsuna will try to absorb the flames of his allies and utilize them to either fill the light and/or defeat the Vindice and Checkerface. I am inclined to think he went and saw Lancia. Just my intuition. Talbot is a definite candidate, but I feel like saying "It's been a long time" would indicate someone not seen for even longer than that old kook.
First thought was Tsunas going to make an arcaboleno out of checkerface , using his power against him somehow (;
It's good to see Tsuna like this.

Painting Forever: Tony Tuckson
Tuckson and Tradition
introduction | foreword | essay | checklist | learning | acknowledgements | selected works
Activities for Primary Students
Activities for Senior Secondary Students
This survey of Tony Tuckson's paintings and drawings is exciting because we can see the development of his abstraction. We can follow his paintings from the intimate, faces and family portraits of 1946, to the powerful abstractions of 1973. It is important to spend time in front of the paintings to understand them. The artist's marks and gestures, the often 'larger than life' scale, and the luminosity of the colour, have a direct affect on the viewer.
paintings and drawings of people
How people look on the outside
Activities for Primary Students
Sit down in front of the paintings with a clipboard, paper and pencil. If you are using the website make the images as big as possible. Try drawing No title (Green boy) 1954No title (Man in a coat and tie) 1951 or No title (Woman trying on a hat) 1951. Try drawing the person. What do they look like? What sort of person are they? Look at the lines and patterns in the drawing. Try it quickly a few times. Is Tony Tuckson's person bigger or smaller than a real person?
Sit in the middle of the room with your paper and look very carefully at the paintings. Draw the outside shape of the painting. Is it a square or long and thin? Is it made of two pieces of wood or one? Look at the lines and marks in the painting and draw the shapes they make. Try doing this a few times. Do the shapes and lines remind you of something? You could write down your ideas. Can you see the same lines and shapes in more than one of the paintings?
Thinking about
lines and actions. What sorts of marks and lines are there in the
paintings? What would it feel like to paint them? Put your pencils
down, stand in the middle of the room, and try to make the same
kinds of marks Tony Tuckson used in the air with your hands. Then
try drawing the marks and lines on large sheets of paper. Try these
materials – newspaper and charcoal or thick graphite pencils. Think
about whether you need to draw quickly and roughly or slowly and
Your group could try this game. Each person chooses a different word that describes a movement or feeling. Experiment with drawing lines that describe the words. For example, 'lightning', 'floating like a bubble', 'hiccups', 'smoke rising after you put out a candle', 'something growing', 'feeling angry', 'stretching'! Experiment with how fast or slowly you can draw. Do you need to use your whole body or just your wrist? Do you use the point of your pencil or the side of your charcoal? Do you press your pencil hard or softly on the paper?
The language of Abstraction
Activities for Senior Secondary Students
Composition – Comparing early and late works
Study some paintings
and drawings from Tuckson's early figurative work such as No
title (Self portrait No.1) 1950–51 and No title (Green boy) 1954. Make some drawings or diagrams of these works to understand
their structure. Repeat this process with the late abstract paintings
such as White over red on blue c. 1971, Black, grey, white c.1971 and No title (White sketch) c.1973. Can you see any visual
connections between the early and the late paintings?
Think about the direction of lines. How are lines repeated throughout
the composition of the work of art? Do you see echoes of patterns
from the early paintings and drawings in the later ones? Think about
the kind of brushstrokes the artist used to make the painting. Is
it the gentle touch of a brush or the wild gesture of a moving body?
For different paintings, try to describe the sense of being in the
body that made the marks. How would you move in space and what kinds
of feelings would those actions generate? Try making some drawings
with very fluid paint, similar to what Tuckson used, the way you
move, and the way you feel.
Spaces and Shapes
Compare the early and late works. Do shapes or spaces seem more
important in different pictures? How does Tuckson's sense of space
change? Can you see examples of creating space through overlapping
shapes or lines? Does the picture space extend outside of the boundaries
of the work or stay confined within the edges? Sit in front of different
paintings and describe the sense of space in them. For example, Black, grey, white c.1971 and No title (White sketch) c.1973. Do the abstract marks
and spaces remind you of anything in the real world?
Think about the size of the works. When you look at a small work, how does this affect the way you relate to it? When a painting is bigger than your body it forms a space around you. Study Tuckson's late paintings such as No title (White sketch) c.1973. If you have not seen the painting, measure up the size of the painting in a real space. What sort of feeling does the painting give you? Can you imagine what it felt like to paint it? Try some drawings or paintings yourself where you radically change the scale. Repeat the same image on a large scale and a small scale
Describe the colour. What moods or sensations does colour create in the work of art? Do the colours remind you of the observable world or feelings? What kind of light do the pictures generate?
Cross Cultural Influences
Tony Tuckson's paintings reveal many different cultural influences. He was influenced by Aboriginal painting from Arnhem Land and his collection of Melanesian grave posts. While working at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and travelling on study tours overseas, Tuckson explored Asian art and researched contemporary art styles from Europe and America, in particular Abstraction and Abstract Expressionism.
Sacred Traditions
Look at some images of Aboriginal paintings from Arnhem Land and Melanesian grave posts (on the NGA website). Draw some of the Aboriginal images and some of the early paintings of Tony Tuckson looking at the way both artists use line and shape to portray animals or landscapes and combine interior and exterior views. In Aboriginal painting, the shimmer produced by white rarrk or cross-hatching reveals the presence of the sacred. Using paint, make colour studies to explore the way Tuckson used colour and light in the later paintings.
European and American Painting
Tuckson was interested in American Abstract Expressionism and greatly admired the work of Jackson Pollock. It is interesting to explore the relationship between Jackson Pollock's Blue poles 1952, oil, enamel and aluminium paint on canvas, National Gallery of Australia and Totem Lesson 2 1945, oil and enamel on canvas, National Gallery of Australia. You can find these paintings on the NGA website in the collection search section. Make some drawings of Tuckson's paintings particularly Black, grey, white c.1971, White over red on blue c.1971 and No title (White sketch) c.1973, where you explore shapes and marks, colours and scale. What visual relationships can you see between Tuckson's later paintings and the Melanesian grave posts?
Research European Abstraction, particularly Action painting and the Tachists such as Pierre Soulages, (b 1919) and Hans Hartung (1904–1989). The National Gallery of Australia publication European and American Paintings and Sculptures 1870–1970 in the Australian National Gallery 1992 is useful. Think about the way artists like Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) or Henri Matisse (1869–1954) may have influenced Tuckson's work. Terence Maloon's essay Tuckson and Tradition in the exhibition catalogue fully explains Tuckson's influences.

Perfect!These colors do exactly as they were made to do! they add color, you rinse it out, and bam! they work amazing on my extensions and I'm always switching it up! love changes my color for the seasons! After you initially bleach your hair (if needed) i personally would wait a few days so the hair has time to relax a bit. put extra argan oil on it! you can even mix a few drops in with the color.Jun 4, 2014ToriHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Raspberry DeceptionI had very light, bleach-blonde hair before I used Paintbox Raspberry Beret.
The aim was to dye my hair a purple color that I would let fade nicely into a pastel-lilac tone. I mixed a small amount of Raspberry Beret with an entire tube of Paintbox Whiter Shade of Pale, plus some conditioner and purple toner.
I've read many reviews from happy users of this product, who got "exactly the purple they desired". But in my case, despite having mixed only a tiny portion of RB with all of the other purple products, my hair came out HOT PINK. It's not a subtle pink, nor is it anywhere near being purple, unlike Fudge's description of this color.
I'm very unsatisfied with my hair and will have to buy more bleach now, as well as find some purple dye that IS actually purple. What's worse is that my hair is already quite porous from previously being a bleach-blonde, so this hot pink isn't going to want to leave without a fight.
On a positive note: Fudge Paintbox is perfect if you want extremely colorful, vibrant colors, and a little seems to go a long way.Feb 1, 2014AngelaHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Normal Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Love It!I've been dying my hair for 6 years now and I love using blue velvet.

I Love This Brand!I've been using fudge for 2 years now, it's perfect for me. I only haven't tried their orange colours and yellow colours, but I've used every other one and they've lasted months, I currently have green envy with a diluted blue velvet on the ends in my real hair with pretty flamingo, electric blue, blueberry hill, cherry bomb and blue Hawaii in my 26" extensions. PERFECT. Couldn't recommend it more honestly, for me it doesn't wash out that easy, it doesn't rub off like the Paul mitchel and crazy colors do , it doesn't damage my hair and my hair always feels soft and healthy after :3Jan 5, 2013GHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Fades In A SnapI got the ends of my hair dyed blue into purple at my local 'high-end' salon. First, of course, my hair was bleached. Then, the dye went in and stayed in for about 30 minutes, like it was recommended on the package. The next day, after more than 24 hours, I went swimming for a bit over an hour. I came out, and let my hair dry. My hair was a disgusting grayish lavender color. The blue had vanished, leaving behind a slight green color. I know that chlorine fades color, but my coloring job was gone. Luckily, my salon was nice enough to re dye my hair.Jun 30, 2012CarolineHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Cherry Bomb Did Not Blow Me Away...I have been using fudge products now for almost 15 years and while I LOVE their products but I gotta say, cherry bomb did not blow me away. It failed to turn my white blonde hair cherry red, instead making the roots a pinkish red and fading to a dark pink towards the ends.
Before applying it I washed my hair with Fudge colour lock shampoo, waited for it to naturaly dry then applied the cherry bomb colour and waited 2 hours before washing it out in warm water and conditioning with Fudge colour clock conditioner. It also started to fade WITHOUT me using any products in my hair or even so much as wetting it! The first time I washed it it went pink, second time the ends went baby pink the roots light pink.
Red corvette is MUCH better! It never gave me these problems and usualy lasts 5 washes with Fudge colour lock shampoo and conditioner before any evidence of fading is apparent. Most of the time I didn't need to touch up red corvette untill I needed to redo the roots it was that fade resistant and consistantly delivered a nice BRIGHT shiny red.

It's Okay, But Not My FavoriteI used Blueberry Hill, Blue Velvet, and Purple Haze. I used the Paintbox colors on one side and another brand on the other. My hair had been bleached to blond a couple days before, and I have been dying my hair for the past 8 years, so this is not a new process.
After washing my hair and waiting a few days, I could see a difference, and not in favor or Paintbox. While the color was visible, it was already starting to fade (despite the fact that I used an after color treatment as well as color preserving products). I ended up using the leftover dye from the other brand to cover up the Paintbox.
This just missed the mark for me.May 26, 2012Judith L. / Richmond, VAHAIR TYPEBlack / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair
