Today at the Grand Palais in Paris, Chanel presented its Spring/Summer 2012 ready to wear show. The theme was an undersea fantasy, staged on an pearl white set with sea creatures and underwater foliage. The models emerged from a giant white shell, here they are lining up behind Karl Lagerfeld for the finale.
As you can see, the color palette was very light and delicate for this season. There is a light and luminosity throughout, punctuated by very discreet uses of black in pinstripe square shapes or silver metallics on shoes and accessories.
The stage with shells and sea creatures scattered throughout the venue:
More of the finale:
The makeup was light, delicate and pearly, with very light shimmery lips and cheeks. The eyes had a ethereal glow but were grounded in a deliberate black liner. Hair and skin were accessorized with single pearls.
Some of the looks:
On the left here, you can see that the fabric has an iridescent shimmer. In the center, one of the few pieces of black. On the far right, the pinstripe black square pattern appeared in many pieces throughout the collection (click to enlarge):
More looks, echoing highly stylized scale patterns from fish, shimmery fabrics and blues that echo oceanic waters (click to enlarge):
Karl and his entourage:
UPDATED: The products used backstage are reported as:
– Vitalumière Compact and Vitalumière Aqua Cream Compacts (available March 2012)
– Illusion d'Ombre in 81 Fantasme (reviewed here) to create glimmering lids
– Illusion Ombre 82 Emerveillé (reviewed here)
– Stylo Yeux Waterproof in Ebene
– Mascara Inimitable Waterproof in Black
– L'Horizon de Chanel, a blush compact with graduating shades of pink that can be swirled on for multi-dimensional color
– Rouge Coco Baume
– Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer lip shine in Plaisir
A glimpse of a white pearly nail:
Curiously, this white pearl color is not among the three that Chanel is previewing (see also here) for release next Spring (called April, May and June). Here's the three:
I've since heard that the pearly white is called "Attraction" and will be released by Chanel over the next several months.
Chanel Creative Director of Makeup and Genius Peter Philips at work backstage applying the pearls to a model:
This model looks alive, flawless and glowing. The hair is slicked back and adorned with pearls:
A few more. As you likely know, pearls were one of Coco Chanel's signatures:
Brows look natural and full, absolutely stunning:
A finishing touch:
Just because I can't resist, here is one shot of Peter Philips on the set of the pre-show press kit shooting. You can see that the makeup is done very similarly here to the runway look:
Well, beauties, what do we think about this season's collection?

text: Hi! I also have the GE JKP13GOP1BG. It has been wonderful up until a few months ago - I started getting "F2" codes intermittently. Now, my oven is turning itself off. It heats up okay, beeps when it reaches temperature, cooks for a while, then quits. It gives no indication - no beeps or anything. It just shuts off. It won't self-clean either. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Susan

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
- - Symptoms of a bad center Dif? (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f69/symptoms-bad-center-dif-31760/)
Symptoms of a bad center Dif?
At worke with not much time. The Wrx Im purchasing supposedly needs the center Dif replaced. Owner took it into Subaru, and after driving a tech said it was classic center Dif symptoms withvs classic cause(hooking up the right side wheels, spinning the left wheels playing). However, owner said driving it a couple weeks ago it was choppy driving while the center Dif caught/ failed, and the speedometer started going with the rpms, although the car wasn't moving that fast. Please give input.
I'm guessing this is a 5spd, so it has a viscous coupler. The two things that the car will exhibit if it is failing, is a tendency to hop or bind when the steering is at full lock (think low speed, parking maneuvers) The other is a whining, space ship-like noise on accelerating indicating the bearings in the transfer case (specifically the coupler, most of the time) are bad.
Other than that, there is no reason to cite a center diff. issue. The first necessitates a new coupler, figure on $375-400 for the part, 3.5 (shop time) hours to replace. The second is about $45 for bearings, same labor.
Transfer case repairs are really not that hard, since the trans stays in the car, just the exhaust and driveshaft have to be removed (oh and the shift shaft) It is a good time to replace the associated seals, while you're in there.
The description you gave of the tech's diagnoses, sound like it was done on a lift (wheels in the air) Have you driven the car ??
Haven't driven it yet. Its coming from Cali Saturday. Guy is trailoring it down and giving me a stupid good price, couldn't pass it up. 5 speed.
Honestly the way he's describing it sounds like a bad clutch... Almost. Slipping, gripping jerking. Except it hasn't dropped any gears. And the speedometer keeps up with rpms.
As im sure you know, the center Dif tries to split power to the rear/ front. Apparently when you have slippage and grip simultaneously in the rear and front this can cook the fluid quickly in the Dif causing it to fail. Apparently this was the cause of the problem, and the tech said symptoms matched. He said if you don't hold the wheel completely straight it starts binding.
Possibly the front Dif?
If the price is that good, get it, diagnose, fix and then drive it like you stole it !! Let us know what the actual driving symptoms are once you drive it yourself. Second hand information is never actually information ;)
Lol, fair enough. I just want to get a jump on it. I already bought a center dif, hoping that's the fix. I'll resurrect this thread soon with first hand info.
[quote=Chase;272993]I already bought a center dif, hoping that's the fix. [/quote]
What did you buy, the coupler and bearings, or what ?
The entire center dif unit out of another 07 manual trans, used with about 40k. There is some debate about whether or not this is a "wear" part, but most subaru's can make it their whole life without going through one of these. And they are all the same after 99, so it was fairly easy to find one.
Failures are usually caused by mismatched tire/wheel size, never changing the trans lube or getting full of metal from a gearbox problem. Otherwise, those parts just last.
So I drained the tranny last night, it looked like green metallic paint. There was a magnetic drain plug and it had collected a ball of shavings there size of a wad of gum. All very fine from what I could see. He had a new gear set installed, any chance a new gear set is like a new engine, in that it puts out shavings when new and should be changed within only a few hundred miles? Or is this a bad sign?
The green metallic paint description sounds like a blend heavy on the Redline shockproof. Having never done a new gearset (198K miles on my stock tranny, thank you !) I can't answer the shavings part, but normally I would say eww, not good. Wait for the guys with rebuilt boxes to chime in. How's it drive ? What are the symptons ?
I haven't ever seen shavings in my box, but I also changed the trans fluid 4 times in the first 3000 miles so the amount may have been so minuscule I just didn't notice
500 miles after the build it should be changed IIRC.
Flush that sucka
Having trouble popping the roll pin in the shifter linkage. Thats my last hurdle. Anyone that has advice, Im listening.
Cullen, I haven't really driven it. The transmission issues assured i wouldn't be able to get it up my support steep driveway. So we backEd up the trailer and dropped it on my shop floor.
The roll pin for the shift linkage actually is two pins, one little one in the center. Bang that out of the center with a small punch (1-1 1/2mm) first. Then the pin (3mm-ish) will pop out easier.
I recommend replacing all the bearings in the transfer case while you're in there, esp. since there was shavings floating around in there. Less than $100 for all from a dealer. The ones on the output shaft have will have to cut or chiseled off unless you have access to some good tools (like a hydraulic press with gear pulling attachments) Replace the shift shaft seal and output shaft seal, too.
I'm only pulling the rear of the case and it's staying in the car. I'm by means knowledgeable when it comes to transmissions, I just read a few how to's for the center Dif and said, hey, I can do that.
Are these bearings and seals accessible from the rear? I'm assuming the output is. As well as shift seal.

Morena Baccarin Models Jewelry from the 2013 AGTA Spectrum Awards
Posted on January 22, 2013
Homeland star Morena Baccarin models jewelry from the 2013 AGTA Spectrum Awards. Morena is wearing morganite and black diamond earrings by Dallas Prince, morganite and diamond ring by David Gardner Jewelers and an amethyst and diamond cuff by Eclat Jewels. Her gown is by Oscar de la Renta. The annual jewelry competition is now in its 29th year and is sponsored by the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA).
Morena says of the awards, "Until now, I was unaware that there were so many designers doing this kind of jewelry. One thing I didn't expect to see was a lot of jewelry with so many different gems on a single piece. But everything in the Spectrum Collection was very intricate and rich and artistic-no ordinary pendants or rings with just a few diamonds accenting."
Morena says one of her favorite pieces from the AGTA Spectrum Awards photo shoot were the Twilight Blush earrings from California jewelry designer, Dallas Prince. The rare lush-pink gemstones (30.18 total carat weight) are set in 14K rose gold. Morena says, "I wore these beautiful drop earrings with pale pink stones. I was drawn to their simplicity and to the color of the gems."

Italy Goalkeeper Guanluigi Buffon Has `Serious' Back Problem, AP Reports
By Jun 15, 2010-
Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has a "serious" back problem and it's not clear when he'll be able to play again in the World Cup, the Associated Press reported, citing team physician Enrico Castellacci.
Federico Marchetti came on in place of Buffon at halftime in the 1-1 draw with Paraguay yesterday.
Castellacci said today that there's a problem with the left side of Buffon's sciatic nerve, and that "at the moment, no date can be set for his return," the AP added.

Man stabbed after attempted burglary
Man will be charged after hospital release
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man was stabbed at a Colorado Springs apartment complex late Tuesday morning, apparently after a struggle during an attempted burglary.
The man has been identified as 33-year-old Corey Mosely. Mosely is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries on Wednesday morning, police said. Once he is released he will be charged with 1st degree burglary and attempted aggravated robbery.
Colorado Springs police responded to a burglary-in-progress call just before noon at the Park Meadows apartment complex in the 900 block of Mt. Werner Circle, in the Southgate neighborhood.
Police said that Mosely entered an apartment unit with a gun in hand. There were three adults and one child inside the unit at the time. The unit's door was open when Mosely entered.
Robert Lewis, 20, and his wife, Jasmin Coblentz, 21, said they were inside with Lewis' older brother and the couple's three-year-old niece when the gunman entered and a struggle ensued. The couple said the brother was assaulted and the niece was kicked in the face during the struggle, but weren't seriously hurt.
That's when Coblentz said she stabbed the gunman.
"I tried to hit him but it wasn't doing any good," she said. "So I did what I could, just to prevent the gun from going off. I went over to my kitchen, and grabbed a small kitchen knife. The gun was loaded. Luckily, he wasn't very smart and had the safety on, we found out afterward. I don't know if he came to rob us, or to kill us."
"After we got him under control, (the gunman) said he would tell me who it was exactly that set me up for the burglary," said Lewis. "I'm a medical marijuana patient, maybe that's what he wanted."
Police said Mosely ran out of the apartment but collapsed on the ground nearby. He was transported to Memorial Hospital with life-threatening injuries and was listed in critical condition Tuesday night.
A neighbor said he saw the gunman stumbling in the parking lot.
"He had the back of his shirt full of blood," said Enrique Contreras. "The guy was screaming for help."
Lewis said the same man robbed him at the apartment three months ago, taking a wallet and cash. Coblentz said she wasn't there at the time.
"I told myself if this ever happened to me, I wasn't going to be the person who stood by and did nothing," she said. "I just hope (the gunman) doesn't die. I don't want to be responsible for taking anyone's life."
Lewis was less apologetic.
"Hey, don't rob me," he said. "Sorry. I did what I had to do, to get him away from me."
The couple said they plan to move out of the complex and find another home.
If anyone has any information about this case, you are asked to call police at 719-444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP (7867).

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I liked that service at the hotel. Once you entered, you were greeted immediately and taken care of. I was able to check in early and get my room earlier than check in time. The staff was very attentive and you could see that they tried their very best (especially the housekeeping team). The pool bathrooms. Because I had a late flight and wanted to freshen up prior to my flight, I had access to the pool / gym bathrooms to freshen up and it did not live up to my expectation as it felt like it was literally a bathroom / shower in a hut. It needs to be regularly cleaned by the hotel.
The quality of the hotel Normally we like more low key accommodations but it was great because my wife and I were sick and we needed to recover quickly.
Nice room good wifi clean friendly staff excellent food convenient location nice view from my room (of the Shwedagon Pagoda) inadequate gym facilities dining room very crowded at breakfast time
good breakfast close to market room very noisy, receptionist more interested in getting us to sign up to loyalty programme than being helpful with providing information
Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms well maintained with good range of toiletries. Friday and Saturday night seafood buffet with lobster, crab and free flow of beer and soft drink good value at USD35. Apart from seafood buffet food prices on the high side. Everything charged in USD. Room charge changes daily and although we thought we had secured an inclusive rate for the days we were there the final bill was USD100 extra.
Great location and really clean. Perfect place to stay if you are looking for comfort It's too expensive for what you get. Unfortunately, hotels in Myanmar are expensive so it's difficult to find something similar for a lower price
Pagoda view room was large, clean, big windows, comfortable. Windowless room was also clean. Staff were really nice and helpful. The beds were uncomfortable! Windowless room was tiny with stale air and heavy chemical air freshener. Food was not great.

Microsoft has come up with an innovative flaw in Windows 7 that could put at risk even geeks that are more security conscious than most.
None of us are perfect, of course. We use passwords that aren't impossible to guess and impossible to remember; we don't use encryption so powerful even our own machines take hours to decode anything; we don't use VPNs full time.
We Facebook.
But we know, generally, when we're at risk and when we're probably not, or though we did, until Microsoft mentioned a new twist yesterday (while patching the problem it pointed out) that we are vulnerable in situations we thought we couldn't be.
For instance, sitting quietly in a coffee shop (other than the Starbucks across from Black Hat), with the WiFi turned off, the Bluetooth talking only to our phones, our backs to the wall to ward off shoulder-surfers.
Unless we were already infected with keyloggers orTrojans, we'd be safe (except from Starbucks prices and the risk of being poisoned by the air of smug baristal purity).
Microsoft's innovation that would have put our security at risk even in that disconnected state is a flaw in the kernel of its Bluetooth implementation that would allow attackers to send us Bluetooth packets warped with malicious intent in such a way as to exploit a specific memory corruption flaw and give the attacker root access to our laptops.
They could install, delete or change anything we wanted without setting off any alerts or indication to show us what they'd done, and all we would have to do is be within 30 to 100 feet (Bluetooth radio range) and have our Bluetooth set to "Discoverable."
No alert would be sent to the legitimate user and there would be no indication a rogue user had been given root access, Joshua Talbot, security intelligence manager for Symantec Security Response told Krebs On Security .
The default setting for Bluetooth is "Undiscoverable," so it won't affect every machine that supports Bluetooth, Talbot said. Many laptops are set up to make connections as easy as possible, even to the point of turning Bluetooth on when the networking code thinks it should be looking for other networks (like when we turn off the WiFi switch, but don't mention that to Windows even though it complains that it has no connectivity).
Windows Update has a patch for the flaw, which Microsoft lists here, along with the 21 other flaws it patched yesterday, and discusses in more detail here.
It's enough to make you think running Windows while walking around an uncontrolled environment connecting invisibly with networks and devices of uncertain origin, coding and intent could be risky – or at least, more risky than we thought.
It's unsettling to think wireless networking could be even more insecure, but you know Microsoft: always pushing for that little extra bit of value. To someone.

I had been talking with John Weir, range management and prescribed burn specialist of Oklahoma State University for a while when I asked this question:
"So, what exactly is the proper way to spell Eastern Redcedar? Do I capitalize both words or what?"
He answered in a way I hadn't expected:
"No. Neither. You capitalize neither word. We in the forestry and range ecology areas don't give it the respect of capital letters."
I laughed, but then confirmed with him that indeed, you really DON'T capitalize the tree's name.
Although his answer was delivered in a dryly humorous way, he was also serious. To capitalize the species name would mean that there would be some sort hierarchical value placed in the invasive juniper species in Oklahoma. But by and large, right now it's just a problem.
How bad is this problem we see along the fence lines of every thoroughfare in the state? Well, pretty bad. Quite possibly, epidemic.
In 2002 the OK Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry established the "Redcedar Task Force," charged with exploring issues surrounding the species and "developing a long-term strategy to deal with the problems created by the juniper infestation, estimated to be expanding at 762 acres per day."
After the initial meeting, the task force concluded that "the negative impacts of juniper encroachment on our natural resources, native wildlife populations, the health of our citizens and our economic potential are unacceptable."
The report is 32 pages long and is a fairly easy and straightforward read. The USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service (NRCS) estimates that eight million acres in Oklahoma are currently infested with at least 50 juniper trees per acre. The encroachment is increasing at an estimated rate of 300,000 acres per year. Finally, (and remember, this was in 2002) they estimated that $157 million was needed to address current conservation treatments.
Wow. Even worse? They estimated that in order to RESTORE lands already suffering from encroachment, as well as to maintain lands free of further problems, landowners will need to aggressively treat 2 to 4 million acres per year. Economic losses from not managing juniper encroachment were projected to be $447 million by 2013. That's next year, right?
So, what are the facts and the urban legends surrounding this problematic juniper, and what can we do about it?
First, the facts:
- Contrary to popular belief, the eastern redcedar IS actually a native species to Oklahoma. However, the original patterns of growth only included the lower levels where water sources were present, such as creek banks. Over time, the species has been spread to an epidemic level because of many reasons.
- One of the main reasons for spread is birds. Birds eat the juniper berries then spread the seeds through their waste in a naturally occurring way. You can especially see how this is evident along fence lines. Birds light on fence lines, dispose of their waste, then one year later, a one foot tree is growing.
- The species IS harmful to wildlife, however. As encroachment grows, natural range land disappears. This has been found to be especially problematic for species like the bobwhite quail who suffer because of the growth.
- The eastern redcedar is only "highly flammable" when it is dry. In fact, a fully nourished and hydrated tree is quite difficult to get started burning as the deep greenery is full of moisture. However, when the tree is in a dried out state, they become what we know as "fireballs." The technical term for this is that they "crown out" when burning. In other words, the flames travel from the ground all the way to the top of the tree quickly.
- The species is NOT like the heads of Medusa that grow back in pairs if you cut them down. Rather, if you cut them down, they're gone. Many trees do NOT die when cut down. Rather, they simply re-root and re-shoot and continue to grow in a different form. For the redcedar, however, this isn't possible. If you cut it down, you're doing us all a favor.
- You will NOT be spreading pollen and reseeding other trees if you burn or cut down the redcedars. They grow as either male or female trees, and they pollinate in the spring. But even if you were to cut them down during the height of pollination season, the risk would be miniscule in return for the positive action of tree removal.
- Speaking of pollination, the redcedar pollen is a real problem for human health in our state. And, according to Weir, our citizens used to get a little bit of a break at least sometimes during the year, but now that the encroachment has spread upwards across much of Kansas, and down through Texas, our bodies are being subjected to more and more...and the change of wind direction doesn't mean any breaks.
- Wildfire is problem for several reasons. Although the best way to handle abating the junipers is to conduct a prescribed burn, many property owners are not trained on how to take care of this task. They are fearful that the fires could get out of control. And, if the trees are taller than about eight feet high, they are in a much more difficult category, not only being dangerous but being too big to safely set up a prescribed burn. When they reach the large, mature and "over 8 feet tall" stage, they have to be manually removed.
- And what about the water issue? Okies can throw around some large numbers (15 gallons per day; 50 gallons per day) when talking about how much our redcedars drink. Here's a quote for you: "Whether water sales is a good idea or not, our water has proven to be perhaps our state's most valuable resource. Without success of the Eastern Red Cedar Initiative, the trees will continue to gulp down pure water at a rate of 55,000 gallons per infested acre per year with each tree drinking 30 gallons every day! The overall loss to state resources averages a whopping $202 million annually."
Weir states that prescribed burn and range specialists don't exist in high enough numbers, so there are currently programs in place where landowners are being taught how to conduct these burns, how to share equipment, and how to rotate among properties in a cooperative fashion so there is enough manpower to complete the task, and enough support to do it safely.
He "had old numbers..." but estimates that it costs from about $6 to $20 per acre to manage a prescribed burn, whereas it could cost upwards of $60 to $120 per acre to have the trees manually removed.
So, are there any POSITIVE benefits or good news related to this issue? Yes, but it could be better if you decide to help.
First, please know that there is an "Aromatic Cedar Association," organized to find benefits to the trees and produce positive economic impacts. Biomass as fuel is one possibility. The oil as an aromatic product is another. The trees can be used as lumber, and the wood is workable and good quality. Cedar is in demand, and the lumber industries are working with professionals in the state to find better ways to harvest the lumber. And, the mulch from these trees is extremely good to use for a variety of mulching purposes.
Other initiatives include a group making redcedar wreaths for veterans graves, initiatives to allow people to cut them for free Christmas trees, and other ideas. For example, the Oklahoma Forestry Services is managing a fairly new Oklahoma Eastern Redcedar Registry Board. (Yes, it's capitalized because it's the NAME of the board, okay?) The law passed in 2010 required that the Board set up a revolving fund, a license plate program, and several other initiatives designed to help landowners and citizens turn the problem around.
In fact, you can apply for YOUR license plate right now by clicking this beautiful photo:
But what else can you do?
Well, one of the biggest problems cited by specialists and those within the areas studying this problem is this: "People don't really know how bad the problem is, they don't take care of their land by choice or because of money, or they're afraid to burn because it might get out of control."
I can see how all of these issues would be true. And, although I have heard from a few of our readers that financial assistance is available to those who want to cost share the clearing of their land, I couldn't find anything about it. I would imagine the best people to ask about financial assistance are those involved with the redcedar initiative.
What I personally would like to see accomplished? Simply the spread and awareness of this as a problem across our entire state. I hope you share this post with others. I hope you personally use an eastern redcedar for your 2012 Christmas Tree, if you can use a fresh tree in your family, and of course...if you celebrate Christmas. I hope that you cut down the small tress you see wherever you go. One resource asserted that most trees can be managed with simply hydrolic clippers or even hand shears.
You know, I've heard people around here say, "Well, I leave a few of these cedars around because they're evergreens and they're pretty in the wintertime." I guess what I would also ask is if you would please reconsider your need for aesthetic qualities across your landscape.
We ALL need to help if this problem is going to be turned around. And regardless of all the positive initiatives starting up right now, by and large the trees are a problem. A big problem. In some articles they're referred to as the "sleeping giant." In my opinion, the Giant is already awake, and it's eating up our state.
So...will you please join me? Let's all become giant killers together, okay?
One last thing...I have three on my property. Tonight, I'm going to talk to Hubby and make a plan to get rid of them. I can't write this without doing my part.
Now...what can YOU do?
Find me at the Red Dirt Chronicles...

By Andrea Stone, USA TODAY
SALT LAKE CITY Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took a detour from the campaign trail Saturday to be at the funeral of his spiritual leader, the prophet of the Mormon Church.
With just days to go until 21 states divvy up Republican delegates in Super Tuesday contest that appears John McCain's to lose, Romney was to pause with hundreds of thousands of his fellow Mormons to say good-bye to Gordon Hinckley, 97, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The popular church leader who shepherded the Mormon Church through a massive worldwide expansion died Sunday.
Although Hinckley's funeral was to be broadcast in 69 languages to more than 6,000 LDS sites around the world, it wasn't clear whether non-Mormon voters preoccupied with Sunday's Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants would take notice.
For Mormons, though, the passing of the longtime Mormon leader has been a major event. Thousands of faithful waited for hours in the mountain chill to view Hinckley's body in Temple Square's Hall of the Prophets. Flags were flown at half staff. Mourners streamed into the 21,000-seat Mormon Conference Center as the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir sang hymns, accompanied by the facility's massive, 7,708-pipe organ.
In a bind
Romney met Hinckley when he was president of the Salt Lake Olympics Organizing Committee in 2002 and again just before he launched his presidential campaign.
The former Massachusetts governor, who sat with members of his family in the second row from the front, was one of several prominent Mormons at the service. Among those in the first row were Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Utah Sens. Orrin Hatch and Robert Bennett, both Republicans.
"He could not not be there," said University of Utah political scientist Matthew Burbank of Romney. "Given the world of (Mormon) political insiders, this is an absolute must-attend."
Romney staffers described the visit as strictly non-political.
"This is a personal visit," said Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's traveling press secretary. "The governor is not doing any politicking in the state of Utah. He's here to pay his respects."
Yet with McCain's momentum-inducing victory in Florida and Romney behind in polls and high-profile endorsements — the Arizona senator snagged California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani this week — Romney can ill-afford the break.
"He's in a bind," says Jan Shipps, a Mormon expert at Indiana University-Purdue University. "If he goes (to the funeral) people will say, 'Oh, his religion is more important than his campaign.' If he doesn't go, people will say, 'He doesn't care about his religion, he cares about politics.' "
It is unclear whether attending the Mormon equivalent of a pope's funeral for Roman Catholics would help or hurt a campaign that by some measures may already be struggling.
John Green, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, says media images of Romney at the funeral of a Mormon icon "could make his faith more salient" to evangelical Christians in the Southern primary states of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, where he is battling with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee for conservative votes.
Still, says Green, results in New Hampshire and Michigan showed Romney did well in counties with large numbers of evangelicals. That, he says, indicates that "skepticism about voting for a Mormon has declined a bit since last summer."
An August poll by the Pew Forum found just 53% of the public held a favorable opinion of Mormons. Among evangelical Republicans, 36% said they were less likely to vote for a Mormon candidate.
Attendees at Saturday's funeral saw Romney's presence as a good thing, regardless of how non-Mormons view their religion.
"He needs to be here and he can't worry about all the criticism," said Salt Lake City resident Susie Luthy, 65, who described herself as an undecided independent. "He has to do what's right and what's right is to honor our prophet."
Pausing the campaign for the funeral won't hurt Romney's political chances, said Christi Martin, a Romney supporter who came from Phoenix for the funeral. "Most people have their mind set already," Martin said.
Bishop Romney
In a Dec. 6 speech designed to ease concerns, Romney said he believed in "the faith of my fathers" but uttered the word "Mormon" just once and said church authorities would play no role in decisions he made as president. Beyond that, he offered few details of his involvement with the church.
But in an essay published this week, Utah State University professor Philip Barlow writes of Romney's 1980s stint as the equivalent of a pastor in Belmont, Mass. Barlow, chairman of Mormon Studies at Utah State, was one of two "counselors" with whom Romney formed the local bishopric.
"Bishop Romney was ultimately responsible for planning the ward's worship services; fostering the physical, social, spiritual, and economic needs of church members … interviewing individual members for 'worthiness' to enter the temple … and coordinating with ecclesiastical superiors," writes Barlow in the latest issue of Religion in the News, published by the The Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life, at Trinity College, in Hartford, Conn.
He described Romney as an "effective" leader.
In more temporal matters, Romney raised $9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 but dipped into his own pocket for twice that for a campaign loan of $18 million. Romney has pumped $36.5 million of his own money into his presidential bid. The campaign said it plans to spend $2 million to $3 million on TV ads between now and Tuesday.
Federal financial disclosure reports peg Romney's net worth at between $190 million and $250 million.
Despite personal cash infusions, the Republican who touts his business acumen "hasn't gotten a very good return on his investment," cracked Sen. Barack Obama at Thursday's Democratic presidential debate.
Romney lags behind McCain in delegate-rich states like California, New York and Illinois. Polls show him leading in his home state of Massachusetts and here in Utah, where his Mormon faith and success in rescuing the scandal-plagued 2002 Winter Olympics make him a heavy favorite.
After Hinckley's funeral, Romney was to fly to Minneapolis for an evening event timed for Tuesday's Minnesota caucuses. No delegates will be awarded at the straw polls.
A state poll released Thursday by Minnesota Public Radio and the Humphrey Institute showed McCain with 41%, followed by Huckabee at 22% and Romney at 17%.
"Romney is far back and may be out of the race in Minnesota," said Larry Jacobs, head of the Humphrey Institute's Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Jacobs sees McCain "dominating" the state, while Huckabee is "crippling" Romney's chances.
Romney plans stops Sunday in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee. On Monday, he flies to Atlanta and then to West Virginia, where the state's GOP convention is expected to give Romney the first hint whether Tuesday will be super for him or something entirely different.

DUI Defense
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges vary, but the most common are: Driving Under the Influence of Drugs and/or Alcohol, Driving Under the Influence with greater than a .08 blood alcohol level (BAC), DUI causing injuries, or the "Zero Tolerance" laws applicable to persons under 21 years of age and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. The complex, detailed laws against these charges constantly change, and there are tools that the prosecutors use to enhance the penalties against defendants charged with DUI, such as having a BAC over .15, driving recklessly, refusing to provide a blood or breath sample, causing injuries to multiple victims, having prior driving under the influence convictions, etc. Whatever the case may be, your driver's license can be restricted, suspended, or even revoked, notwithstanding the fact that you could be looking at jail or prison time as well as large fines. That is why we are fighting TWO cases – the Department of Motor Vehicles action against your license, and the criminal court charges.
Time is of the essence. After being arrested on these charges, it is important to contact the DMV immediately to preserve your right to a hearing on your driver's license. We will take care of that for you. We will coordinate your DMV hearing with an awareness of our strategy in your criminal case to try to minimize the consequences as best as possible.
DUI is a very highly legislated area of the law, meaning that the statutes in place dictate most of the penalties you could receive, with not much negotiating room. Very often, this includes some time in custody. This is why it is important to contact an attorney who knows this area of law and continues to stay educated about the changes in the law, in order to fight for you as aggressively as possible. Staying highly educated about this area of law is a must for attorneys who want to handle DUIs competently and aggressively.
We have continuing knowledge and education regarding the science in this area of law, such as, knowing how the breath machines work, knowing how the breath machines are supposed to be maintained and calibrated within the parameters of Title XVII and other applicable laws, knowledge about absorption of alcohol in the blood, the physical effects and chemical breakdown alcohol has in the blood stream, knowing what can cause false readings in breath tests, knowledge about defenses such as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and acid reflux which can cause mouth alcohol issues and false readings on breath machines, knowledge about blood test samples and the proper amount of preservative which is supposed to be included in the sample to avoid fermentation of sugar from the defendant's blood, etc.
We also have specialized training as to the proper administration of field sobriety tests, what tests have been determined to be "Standard" and therefore acceptable according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA – national standards) based on years of studies and testing of these procedures, tests which have been adopted by the California Highway Patrol and other local agencies.
Additionally, it is important to know what types of alternatives there are for court proceedings, such as negotiating for different charges, different types of custody options, alternatives to expensive fines, and different types of sentencing alternatives. We know how to handle these cases keeping in mind how best to meet your needs and interests.
You have rights. You should exercise those rights. And the only way to do so is to hire a criminal defense attorney who handles these cases properly.
If you are stopped by police and suspected of driving under the influence, you do not have to talk to police and answer questions. You do not have to perform field sobriety tests, such as "Walk and Turn", "One Leg Stand" or any other physical test. The "Implied Consent Law" in California requires that adults 21 and over must give a blood or breath test, as is required by the vehicle code (Vehicle Code §23612), after the person has been lawfully arrested. If the driver is under 21, the "Implied Consent" law under Vehicle Code §23136 requires the driver to provide a breath sample in the field (where arrested) or another chemical test so long as the person was lawfully detained. If you fail to give one of these tests, you could lose your driving privilege for at least one year, based on a suspension from the DMV. Keep in mind that the court will take your refusal into consideration also, and a jury could be instructed that your refusal could be viewed as evidence of your guilt to the charge. So call an attorney that knows this highly complex area immediately.
Do not talk to police. Do not provide statements, even if you think they are statements which declare your innocence – they will only be twisted and used against you. First, consult with a lawyer.
Do not consent to a search of your person/residence/vehicle. Demand a search warrant.
Ask for your lawyer. These are your constitutional rights – exercise them!

Glad you like Evanna. It always reminds me of Luna Lovegood/Evanna Lynch
As for flow- Sylvia Sayuri Noor and Eilidh Clara Valentine didn't feel 100% right to me. There's nothing totally wrong with them, they just didn't sound right in my tired brain!
There were actually two TV characters but I've just realised I got one wrong! It's Laila, which reminded me of the girl in Eastenders (who I've now remembered is Lola. D'oh.) And also the other Eastenders woman, who's played by Laila Morse. Her character's name eludes me right now. I just always think of her as Laila Morse/Gary Oldman's sister!
Right, time to go to bed methinks!

2011 has been designated as the International Year of Chemistry (IYC) by UNESCO and IUPAC (the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, responsible for the systematic naming of new chemicals). The year will be marked by events and displays in countries around the world. The opening event was in Paris in January, the closing event will be in Brussels in December.
Inspired by EESC Member David Sears, Employers Group, UK, the Cultural Sub Committee of the Committee has agreed to contribute to this week. The exhibitions and displays bring together a number of themes relating to the past, present and future of life as we currently know it. The EESC is deeply grateful to the many companies and learned bodies that have made this possible, together with the Polish Embassy during their Presidency of the EU.
The past is represented by a series of displays on the life and times of Maria Skłodowska-Curie in her pioneering role as a woman in a man's world at the turn of the last century, winning the Nobel prize in Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Antoine Henri Becquerel for their supportive work on radioactivity, and again, by herself, in 1911 in Chemistry, for her discovery and characterisation of two new elements, radium and polonium.
The present provides insights into the role of water as a vital resource for us all. An exhibition of art by children from around the world, sponsored by the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, is shown here on video displays while the originals move around the capitals of Europe.
The future consists of presentations and displays which show a more sustainable future that could be ours, if we can continue to develop and master the required science and technology. 'Catalytic clothing' brings together materials scientists at Sheffield University, the fashion world in London, and a surfactants manufacturer in Belgium, building on existing technology to produce textiles that can help us meet environmental objectives by cleaning the surrounding air. The 'Solar Impulse' is a plane that can fly on solar power.
We are grateful to all involved in these projects for developing the ideas and for presenting them to us in this way.
The main presentations are accompanied by a number of lunchtime and evening events for members and staff of the EESC, for their guests from the other institutions, agencies and consultative bodies of the EU and from the companies and organisations involved, and for younger audiences at school. We hope that you will enjoy the week's events.
Ms. Anna Maria Darmanin

Winter Storm Drops Several Inches of Snow on Tri-State
(Cincinnati)--A Winter Storm Warning has expired for much of the Tristate with up to five inches of snow on the ground in some places.
The heaviest snow fell across Northern Kentucky, Southern Hamilton County and Clermont County. The other problem was the falling temperatures that potentially makes salt used to treat the streets ineffective. Wind chill values are expected to fall below zero today.
Hundreds of schools cancelled classes and the snow forced Metro to detour several bus routes, as the buses are unable to navigate the Hackberry Loop, Liberty Hill and Bender Road.
Campbell County and Grant County were placed under a Level Two Snow Emergency early this morning, advising people not to travel unless it was absolutely necessary.
By late afternoon, many community's snow emergencies had been dropped, or lowered.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet expected to send most of their road crews home after the evening rush.
ODOT says for the first 20 days of this year, they've used twice as much salt on the roads in southwest Ohio, as during the same period last year, at a cost of over $3.8 million.

The Duchess of Cambridge has got great legs and she's not afraid to show them. Nor is she afraid of a hefty spring breeze. This morning, attending a tour of the studios at which the Harry Potter films were created, she wore a thigh skimming polka-dot dress from high-street retailer Topshop. Showcasing her affection for youthful flirty fashion – an aspect of her wardrobe that has been notably absent since she married Prince William in 2011 – Kate teamed her £38 frock with a neatly fitted peplum trim jacket by Ralph Lauren and a pair of suede stiletto pumps which bore a striking resemblance to her favourite navy pair by British designer Rupert Sanderson. Her signature black opaque tights remained notably absent.

What research is being conducted on post-polio syndrome?
Scientists are working on a variety of investigations that may one day help individuals with post-polio syndrome. Some basic researchers are studying the behavior of motor neurons many years after a polio attack. Others are looking at the mechanisms of fatigue and are trying to discover the role played by the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, the neuromuscular junction (the site where a nerve cell meets the muscle cell it helps activate), and the muscles.
Determining if there is an immunological link in post-polio syndrome is also an area of intense interest. Researchers who discovered inflammation around motor neurons or muscles are trying to find out if this is due to an immunological response.
Other investigators have discovered that fragments of the poliovirus, or mutated versions of it, are in the spinal fluid of some survivors. The significance of this finding is not known and more research is being done.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat in the second final of the triangular one-day cricket series against Australia at the Gabba here Tuesday.
Australia made one change to the team that lost the first final Sunday by six wickets, bringing in medium pacer Stuart Clark for spinner Brad Hogg.
India were forced into one change, with pace bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth brought into the side for the injured Ishant Sharma.
India also retained 19-year-old leg-spinner Piyush Chawla. He bowled well in the first final, but the Sydney Cricket Ground is more suited to spin bowling than the pacier Gabba wicket.
If Australia win this match, the series will go to a decider in Adelaide on Friday.
Australia - Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Mike Hussey, James Hopes, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark.
India - Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth.

I doubt I will ever understand the gloriousness of mustaches but I can appreciate them. Hence, the shirt.
There are some dominating comic geniuses right now (Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell ...) and they give us some great lines to carry around and repeat ad nauseum. Case in point: this shirt.

John Terry admits he no longer knows where he stands in the pecking order among Chelsea's four central defenders.
Terry shrugged off the disappointment of being an unused substitute for Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final defeat against Manchester City on Sunday by scoring two goals in a 3-0 Premier League win at Fulham.
The 32-year-old club captain has not been first choice in his position since injuring his knee against Liverpool last November — last night was only his third League start in 2013 — and consistent squad rotation by Rafael Benitez has meant Terry has mostly played in the less-important fixtures in Chelsea's packed schedule.
Terry is adamant he is fit enough to play three games a week and determined to fight for his place but he is aware Gary Cahill is set to return from a knee injury to add to the competition already provided by David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic.
Terry said: "With Gary coming back, I don't know where that puts me in the pecking order. All I can do is train hard and, when I get a chance, play well.
"There are no complaints. If the manager is straight with me and tells me, that's fine. I accept the rotation system. I can definitely play twice a week, three games a week if need be. I don't know where that [doubt] arose from.
"I'm fit, I'm training every day and have been for the last three months, so I just want to set the record straight. I'm available but, at the same time, if the manager chooses not to pick me, there is not a problem because I'm Chelsea through and through and I want nothing more than to get Champions League football.
"If that means me playing, great, if not, I will be the biggest supporter in the dressing room. It's down to me to work hard and maybe prove him [Benitez] wrong."
Chelsea's victory last night lifted them back above Arsenal into third place and they have a game in hand on their London rivals. But the Blues have a number of tough fixtures remaining in the run-in to secure a top-four finish, starting with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Terry admits it's imperative for the club to succeed and added: "It's very important we pick up the three points and cement this third place. Financially, for the players we want to sign in the summer, that could all depend on Champions League football. It's where we want to be. We're obviously in the semi-finals of the Europa League but realistically we want to be playing Champions League football.
"It [beating Fulham] has definitely put us on a good momentum. This is a tough place to win and we have struggled here over the last few years.
"We were very solid and in control. It looked like the old Chelsea. We were in possession and once we got the two-goal cushion we passed it about well and made them really work for it.
"It is a tough run-in, which starts with Liverpool. It is a busy schedule for us because we play Thursday- Sunday and we have four games in 10 days or something like that, which is ludicrous. But we have the squad and the manager is rotating — everyone is playing a part."

Fifty years ago the United States created the CIA as an agency whose task was to protect the United States. During this time period, the CIA failed to predict anything regarding vast changes in the world ranging from the split between Communist China to the breakup of the Soviet Union to the so-called WMD in Iraq, but US presidents retain faith that those running the CIA actually know what is going on. The recent case of Raymond Davis who killed two men on motorcycles because they were trying to kill him has aroused more questions than answers. As he remains in jail, the Pakistan government has now arrested Aaron DeHaven, a US contractor, and charged him with over staying his visa. Pakistan's secret service, the ISI wants the CIA to "ensure there are no more Davises or his ilk" in their nation and argue Americans have to end doing things "behind our back."
These are interesting words from an organization which works closely with the Taliban and has provided extensive military assistance to men who seek to overthrow the government of Afghanistan. One of the main problems with the CIA is staffing. Most of its employees are from colleges rather than from working folk, prostitutes and others of that ilk who understand the real world.

A snubbie revo is a good choice.
This is a discussion on Weapon for daughter off to college? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; In August we'll be sending our dear daughter off to a very small and theologically conservative Christian college in a very quiet university town of ...
In August we'll be sending our dear daughter off to a very small and theologically conservative Christian college in a very quiet university town of 23,000 a LONG way away from big cities. She'll be rooming in a second-story apartment with two or three other girls (one other first-year student and one third-year at least). We don't know how the others feel about firearms.
She takes Krav Maga classes and carries pepper spray and is likely to continue both when away. She's unlikely to get a permit, as while it is "may issue" under 21 there, it's only happened twice in that county. She's more mature than one would believe at this age, deferring to grey hair and saying "no" to herself regularly, for example. She already occasionally shoots her 22 Beretta Neos, and I plan on running her through at least the concealed carry class before she leaves.
I assume we'll be sending her with a home defense firearm of some sort, along with a proper fast-access safe if it winds up being a handgun.
What type of firearm would you recommend? Should we send her with the wife's snubby 357 (SP-101), our 20ga shotgun (870), a pistol-grip 10 gauge (joke), or something else? If you are thinking 'handgun', feel free to just say "auto" or "revolver", "full-size", "mid-size", or "small", and a hint as to caliber, as of course we'll have to do lots of trying-on at a gun show to ensure the one she takes fits properly. She wears a ladie's 'small' glove and has very long fingers, however, if anyone needs that information for recommending a specific model.

Not to burst any bubble here but I would first find out about just who she is rooming with. They may not be as "mature" as your daughter and a gun in the house might not be a good idea. You mentioned that you dont know how they feel about guns so you are obviously thinking in the right direction. If she has no permit to carry, that means the gun stays at home where it does her little good for most of her time there unless she spends a lot more time at home than most college students do.

My daughter in college carries a Colt Combat Commander in 9mm. She's been shooting since she was six years old.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
You may want to find out if firearms are permissible in her building. If so, whatever she's comfortable with.
Can't you let her pick it out? I know others would have a real hard time picking me out a gun I'd like just right.
If she's rooming in a dorm and they don't allow guns on campus then she won't be allowed to carry anyway
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I would think the Ruger SP-101 loaded with good .38 specials would be a good choice. Especially since you already own one. However, only if she is a shooter and knows the rules of lethal force.
Also if all she has shot is the .22 Beretta, I would make sure she has several hundred rounds time in with the gun she is going to have with her.
Permit or not... making her take the CCW class is not only a good idea, I would think it should be a deal breaker as to whether you let her have a gun to take or not.
The means to secure the gun against unauthorized people would be mandatory as well.
I also think at some point she should sit down with her roommates and let them know she will be armed and have a very frank discussion with them.
I would also encourage her while she is away at college to take it upon herself and get up to speed with shooting for defensive purposes and practice with her gun. It could save her life one day.
Good luck and I hope her college days are a great experience for her.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I don't know if you should send her off with the .357 when she's used to the .22. Personally, I'd say the shotgun and the .22 that she's familiar with. Or if she wants something else, let her pick it out. She should at least hold it, and hopefully fire it, before she decides if she likes it.
Let her pick after shooting them. She'll be the one responsible for it, all of those are sensible choices so let her pick.

Thanks, all, for your support, thoughtfulness, and advice. And for the years of wisdom that led to the advice.
Clarification: she'll be in an off-campus apartment, the roomies are likely to be responsible as well (the college attracts that type), and I certainly would buy her a gun safe (box) and have her run through several hundred rounds and take at least the first class and probably the tactics class (abandoned building airsoft shootouts and such). I am also firmly committed to letting her pick, though she's already said the SP101 would be OK.
In retrospect, I should have made this a poll:
Snubby Revolver, possibly an SP101 we already own (.38/357)
Larger Revolver that she chooses to fit her hand (.38/357)
Tiny Pistol (RugerLCP?) that she chooses to fit her hand (.380)
Small Pistol that she chooses to fit her hand (.380 or bigger, per her choice)
Medium Pistol that she chooses to fit her hand (.380 or bigger, per her choice)
Large Pistol that she chooses to fit her hand (9mm or bigger, per her choice)
Shotgun with pistol grip (probably 20ga)
Shotgun, full-sized (probably 20ga - like the 870 we already own)
The SP-101 stoked with a good .38 SPL Personal Defense Load should do just fine and will shoot real easy for her.
The Speer .38 spl "short barrel" ammo might be a good choice.

Samantha only wants to be loved. By her father, by her best friend, and now by the new boy at school, Farouk. The more time Sam spends with him, the more she can't stop thinking about him. But she's cautious, because people can hurt. To escape, Sam runs track at school, finishing every race, but never pushing herself to the limit. As she runs, she is haunted by the recent, mysterious death of Owen, the school's golden boy and track star.
Sam and Farouk spend afternoons at the beach where divers risk their lives to jump off high cliffs into the churning water below. Like the divers, Sam risks herself to be with Farouk, growing more and more attached to him, longing to feel safe enough to let herself go and show her true feelings.

I appreciate the compliment on my previous chop job. Removing the hood ornament is relatively easy, but I must ask a few questions before I could try to help you with your request.
First, I believe I gave you an animated GIF which moved between 3 heights of the roof (uncut, down-to-the-tape-line, and slightly below-the-tape-line). Since I will not modify all 3 versions for you new requests, I need to know which height you are going to use???
Second, please explain what you mean by a pie-cut of 1". I think I understand the term pie-cut (cut a wedge out of the side of the hood tapering from zero to 1" wide), but what are you trying to achieve???? Are you trying to lower the front on the hood or the back???
Third, It appears in the photo that the hood is not completely shut-down in the back (a gap above the fender) and a small photoshop pie-cut of 1" would be useless if the photo does not show the car correctly. Is the hood properly closed in the photo???
Check out my album of examples and note that I require donations for major artwork, logos and NON-rat projects, contact me: firstname.lastname@example.com
1. In the first request there were two cut lines. One at two inches and the second at 3 1/2 inches or the third result showing the most cut. I'm going with the 3 1/2 chop or the last one.
2. By pie cut, remove 1" from the front of the hood tapering down to 0" at the back. 1" may not do much to change the visual so 2' or 3" may be required.
See generic picture of where I plan on cutting the hood.
3. Your correct in that the is a gap at the rear of the hood because the front sheetmetal isn't bolted and adjusted. I had just set the body on the 76 Cadillac frame and realized that I have to switch front subframes because the wheel width is too wide in front to allow the wheels to turn if lowered to the correct height.
