Designer: Victoria BeckhamThe designer celebrate 10 years of her label for the last time in New York before presenting her next collection in London this September. Collection: a succession of trenches with a play on straps and layering, structured tailoring achieved through belted waists decorated with big buttons, plus prints that imitate fur and XXL bags. The volumes are loose for a parka with multiple pockets. Focus is on the fluidity of certain printed dress or dresses pleated at the legs + the delicacy of a black dress draped at the shoulders. To note: the shoes with plaited straps which trail down to the soles, and spotted front row, nearly the whole Beckham family (only missing the oldest son) who Victoria went and hugged at the end.

Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Thomas Are Expecting First Child — Report
Are a congrats in order for newlyweds Alec and Hilaria? They're reportedly expecting their first child together! Read on for all the details.
Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Thomas have only been married since June of 2012, but the newlyweds might need to start preparing for a little one! A new report says that Alec's yoga instructor wife, 28, is pregnant!
A good friend of Hilaria's told In Touch, "Hilaria has told only really close friends and family she is pregnant, only a close circle she trusts."
"They are both so excited and Alec is so in love with her," the friend said. "She says she is so in love with Alec and he tells all her friends that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him."
Hilaria Thomas' Baby Bump?
Recent photos of the newlywed have shown a very slight baby bump, hinting at a possible pregnancy. "[Hilaria] has not said much to anyone as far as how far along she is," the insider says. "She is so healthy and a yoga freak, so everyone could tell right away something was different."
Alec Baldwin Knew He Wanted More Kids When He Met Hilaria
When Alec, 54, sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan in January of 2012, he admitted that he wanted to have more children after meeting Hilaria, who he began dating in 2011. "Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great, that would be heaven, that would be fantastic," he said.
During the same interview, he told Piers that, before he met his new wife, he thought he might die alone. "Right before I met Hilaria…I did lay in my bed and say, 'This is it. I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life, I'm gonna die alone in this apartment in this bed, I'll have my friends, I'll have Twitter, I'll have Words with Friends, I'll have my New Yorker subscription…"
Alec, who was married to actress Kim Basinger from 1993 to 2002, has one child from his prior marriage: a daughter, Ireland Baldwin, 17. This will be the first little one for Hilaria.
While the world awaits official confirmation of the pregnancy, we wish Hilaria and Alec a pre-emptive congrats!
Do you think Alec and Hilaria have a baby on the way, HollyMoms?

10 outrageous ballpark hot dogs
July is National Hot Dog month, and 10 MLB teams have rolled out special creations to celebrate. These aren't just any ol' hot dogs, though, they're outrageous dishes that go well beyond what you can add at the condiment station on the stadium concourse.
These hot dogs were created with the help of chefs from Delaware North, a hospitality management company. You'll notice upgrades such as pulled pork and chips and special slaws on the hot dogs, even bacon. There's an emphasis on local ingredients, which is to be applauded. In the photos below, each hot dog is also paired with a local beer and wine.
For those of you who live close to these cities, you know what to try next time you're at the ballpark. For those of you who don't live nearby, you'll either have to stare at the computer and drool or try to duplicate them at home. — Mike Oz, Big League Stew

MarkyMarko necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Bean Rush
I am starting a coffee cart company that will sell gourmet specialty espresso coffee to people that don't have enough time to sit but still need a caffeine rush! The carts will be based primarily at the bottom of office buildings, universities and busy hospitals which have high foot thoroughfare. The company places a huge emphasis on timing ensuring that all customers receive their coffees within 90 seconds. Customer service also plays a huge role in the coffee industry that relies heavily on repeat clientele
The main target audience will be busy people in the workforce that have little time to sit and chat They have the mentality that, "Time is Money". They will also have a higher income bracket as they are willing to spend more on specialty espresso coffee. They require a quality product and a service that exceeds expectations every time. They are willing to pay extra for organic / fair trade products.
The logo can be just text only - "Bean Rush" or it can include two coffee beans at the end of the text. I am flexible and up for suggestions and creativity. I would prefer if it included the bean graphics that they be realistic and classy... No clipart or cartoon like animation.
There must be an emphasis on "speedy / quick" on the word "Rush"... Either speed lines or something in motion. I definitely don't want anything tacky like a coffee cup with wheels screeching by!
The dominant colour I was originally thinking was blue but then changed my mind to brownish/maroonish. Up for suggestions.
The font is also undecided but up for creative suggestions.
Although the carts will be based in the USA, I am originally from Australia and would like to incorporate something small and Australian in the logo. Maybe a small flag or something that Americans conjure up when they think of Australia?!? If this is not possible or looks too tacky... no worries
I definitely prefer simplicity and something that portrays confidence. I look forward to seeing the designs... I can't wait! Feel free to ask any Q's

As a follow up to a story we first reported on June 4th Boston To a T can now confirm that the MBTA's order for 40 new locomotives is about two months behind schedule.
Last year the MBTA released a statement stating that the first of 3 pilot locomotives would be arriving in Boston this month. According to MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo the first pilot unit will not be shipped out of the Motive Power Industries plant in Boise, Idaho until the end of July.
Pesaturo blames the delay on "design modifications and improvements".
Currently, all 3 pilot units are out of production and are being prepped for testing. One of them will be sent to GE's Transportation Division in Erie, Pennsylvania for testing and the other will be sent to the TTCI test track in Pueblo, Colorado where it will undergo dynamic testing.
When the third unit arrives here in Boston it will undergo acceptance testing and training will take place.
If all goes according to plan we might see the first pilot unit in service by years end.

The GMC Envoy XUV was launched in 2004 as an attempt to combine a pickup truck and a sport utility vehicle (SUV). It is part of the GMC Envoy series of SUVs that debuted in 1998 as a top-end version of the GMC Jimmy. The Envoy went into production in 1998, but GMC put it on hold for some time as the Jimmy was phased out. By 2002, the GMC Envoy became a standalone model. The production of this vehicle and the GMC Envoy XUV continued until 2009, when the GMC Terrain replaced the SUV.
The GMC Envoy XUV was an interesting addition to the GMC Envoy lineup. At the time of its production, few vehicles had the versatility of the GMC Envoy XUV. It shared the same basic, award-winning platform as the GMC Envoy XL, but its design satisfied the numerous demands of SUV customers by providing every feature of a multi-functional vehicle.
In spite of the completely different approach followed by the GMC Envoy XUV, it still retains several positive aspects of the Envoy family. The interior of the car has the same style as the other Envoys before it, and its amenities and performance remain the same.
GMC only produced one version of the Envoy XUV from 2004 to 2009.
The GMC Envoy XUV remained unchanged for most of its production life. The 2009 Envoy XUV marked the last model year for this versatile vehicle. It was powered by General Motors' award-winning Vortec 4200 engine, with a displacement of 4.2 liters. The 24-valve, dual overhead cam inline six-cylinder engine produces 275 hp of power and 275 lb-ft of torque. This made it the most powerful base engine in the segment and gives the GMC Envoy XUV a towing capacity of 5,800 pounds for the two-wheel drive version and 5,706 pounds for the four-wheel drive version.
The GMC Envoy XUV also offered other engine options such as a Vortec 5300 engine, which is a V-8 with a displacement of 5.3 liters, a maximum power of 290 hp, and a torque of 325 lb-ft. This engine gave the GMC Envoy XUV a towing capacity of 6,500 pounds for the two-wheel drive version and 6,400 pounds for the four-wheel drive version.
The XUV could be converted to a pickup by retracting its rear roof section. This section slides forward and converts the rear into an open-top loading area. Once retracted, the GMC Envoy XUV will have an opening of 32 x 32 inches, allowing it to carry tall or large items in an upright position. A significant advantage of the retractable roof is that it does not cover the power-operated sunroof up front.
The mid-gate could also be raised in front of the load area to divide it from the passenger compartment in front. This mid-gate is a waist-height, solid panel lined with plastic. The top half had a retractable-glass partition. Once the rear seats fold and tumble, the load area can open up, offering a space of 95.2 cubic feet or 2,696 liters.
The tailgate of the GMC Envoy XUV could be hinged downward or sideways, and the glass atop of the tailgate could be retracted with the push of a button to form a solid tailgate, thus completing the transition of the SUV into a pickup truck. The cargo area was waterproof due to the QuickDrain drainage system, which makes washing and cleaning far easier. The drainage system could remove about 35 gallons of water per minute from the load area. The area had four tie-down rings that can be fixed in 12 locations. The roof also had four fixed tie-down rings, thereby providing a lot of flexibility while hauling different types of cargo. The GMC Envoy XUV also came with a wide range of GM accessories that offerred additional versatility.
The GMC Envoy XUV was significantly better than other SUV-pickup truck combos because it can be converted into a completely enclosed SUV by closing the tailgate glass and retractable roof and lowering the mid-gate section. However, the small load area remained a disadvantage of this vehicle, making it a bad choice for heavy-duty commercial towing and hauling. The side glass of the GMC Envoy XUV came with breakable glass, which made it more vulnerable.
An important aspect of the GMC Envoy XUV was that it can be easily reconfigured into a pickup truck or SUV according to the driver's needs. The rear roof panel had a power-sliding system, as do the tailgate and mid-gate windows. The tailgate could be swung down or to the right with one hand, making it easy to load and unload. The seats and the mid-gate could be reconfigured quickly and easily without using any tools.

Physical evidence gathered so far in the shooting death of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements has begun to confirm suspicions that Evan Ebel committed the crime before speeding to Texas where he was killed in a shoot-out with police.
Police at the scene of the Texas confrontation with Ebel have recovered Hornady 9mm bullet casings – the same brand and caliber used to kill Mr. Clements. The automobile Ebel was driving before he plowed into an 18-wheel truck and emerged shooting at police – a 1991 black Cadillac – appears similar to a car seen in Clements' neighborhood the night of that shooting.
Also, Ebel's car contained a work uniform of the type worn by Domino's Pizza delivery man Nathan Leon shot and killed last Sunday night in Denver – two days before the Clements shooting. Investigators have noted a "strong connection" between the two slayings, which suggests that Ebel may have used Mr. Leon's uniform as a disguise in the Clements incident.
As for motive, that remains unclear, although Ebel was a member of the "211 Crew," also known as the Aryan Alliance, described as a particularly vicious prison gang whose members released from prison carry on criminal activities – including murders – on behalf of the gang. Prison chief Clements, on the job in Colorado for about two years, had begun cracking down on such gangs.
Meanwhile, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowledged Friday that he is friends with Ebel's father, Jack Ebel, a gas and oil lawyer in Boulder. They worked together at an oil company when Hickenlooper was a geologist, and they have stayed close, the Denver Post reports.
Gov. Hickenlooper said that when he interviewed Clements for the job as corrections department director, he did mention that he knew someone whose child was in administrative segregation (solitary confinement), the newspaper reported
"It's a hotly contested issue right now across the country, and one of the things that Tom Clements believed that could do more harm than good," Hickenlooper said. "I said I knew someone in administrative segregation and the family was very concerned and that it was affecting them in a very negative way."
That personal connection between Hickenlooper and Jack Ebel apparently had nothing to do with Evan Ebel's release on parole January 28, which was mandatory under Colorado law since he had served his full sentence.
Ebel had been in and out of prison in Colorado over the past decade for various offenses, including assaulting a prison guard in 2008. His list of nine felonies over a four-year period includes aggravated robbery, assault, and menacing. Some have suggested that Ebel was ordered by a gang "shot caller" to kill Cements.
Evan Ebel's father Jack, described in media reports as a concerned and caring parent, once testified before the Colorado state legislature about the added damage solitary confinement was doing to a son he believed to be psychologically disturbed.
Jack Ebel had raised his two children as a single father. Evan Ebel's teen-age sister was killed in an automobile accident, which may have added to emotional and behavioral difficulties that had led his parents to enroll him in special treatment programs from an early age. Within weeks of his sister's death, he was committing some of the most violent acts that eventually put him into prison for the next eight years – where he became involved with the 211 Crew gang.
In the Wheat Ridge community where Ebel grew up, his former friends are in a state of shock, reports the Daily Beast.
"I thought Evan had gotten his life together," said childhood friend Ricky Alengi.
Apparently that was not the case.

The blue tarps were already out in force after Florida had been smacked around by Hurricane Charley, Frances and Ivan, but the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season had one last sucker punch for the Sunshine State -- Jeanne.
Nine years ago just before midnight on a Saturday, Hurricane Jeanne made landfall near West Palm Beach as a Category 3 storm with winds near 120 mph. The landfall was only 2 miles from where Hurricane Frances had made landfall just three weeks earlier.
And Jeanne's path and size through the state were eerily similar to Frances, slogging its way up through Central Florida and up into the Panhandle.
The storm was also a tricky storm for those wary hurricane watchers. Jeanne had already struck Puerto Rico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and it was deadly even as a weaker storm killing more than 3,000 in Haiti alone. Jeanne then looked to be headed out to the Atlantic and weakening.
Then the storm gained strength, while looping around in a big circle and came across the Bahamas and right into South Florida.
Jeanne ended up being the deadliest storm of 2004, with the thousands in the Caribbean along with three deaths in Florida as well as $6.8 billion in damage in the U.S., making it the 13th costliest hurricane in U.S. history to date.
There was still another two months of hurricane season to make it through, and Floridians were still paying close attention as the season's last gasp -- Tropical Storm Otto -- decided to meander around the Atlantic even past the official Nov. 30 end of the Atlantic Hurricane season.
But Hurricane Jeanne ended up being the last of Florida's hurricane season of pain, a season that changed the way Floridians look at hurricanes.

Imagination Station Child Care Center Inc. owner/operator Carla Fasso has always had a love for children, so opening up her own day care couldn't have been a better avenue to pursue her passion. Imagination Station, located at 902 Seneca St., in the Village of Lewiston, provides child care for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.
Imagination Station is a large building that looks like a private residence on the outside, but is uniquely separated into different sections on the inside for different classes and age groups. Toddlers, or "wobblers" as Fasso likes to call them, are taught basic motor skills before the pre-K program begins.
Fasso's pre-K program is where children are taught beginning writing skills and where, she says, "The focus is on getting kids ready for kindergarten."
Fasso said she believes one of the center's greatest assets is its quality of care. She has a full staff of eight women, most of whom have been employed by the day care for more than five years. Prior to opening up Imagination Station, Fasso ran a latchkey program before and after school at the Lutheran Messiah Church.
Along with everyday care, Imagination Station also hosts a summer program for children ages 5 to 12. During the summer program, children often go on field trips - both educational and those that are just for fun. Past trips have included Sanger Farms and Adventure Speedway.
If you are interested in signing your child up at Imagination Station, call 716-754-4305.

A cervical biopsy is a procedure to remove tissue from the cervix to test for abnormal or precancerous conditions, or cervical cancer.
The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus. It forms a canal that opens into the vagina.
Cervical biopsies can be done in several ways. The biopsy can remove a sample of tissue for testing. It can also be used to completely take out abnormal tissue. It can also treat cells that may turn into cancer.
Types of cervical biopsies include:
A cervical biopsy may be done when abnormalities are found during a pelvic exam. It may also be done if abnormal cells are found during a Pap test. A positive test for human papillomavirus (HPV) may also call for cervical biopsy. HPV is a type of sexually transmitted infection. Certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer and other less common types of genital cancers. A cervical biopsy is often done as part of a colposcopy. This is also called a colposcopy-guided cervical biopsy. A colposcopy uses an instrument with a special lens to look at the cervical tissues.
A cervical biopsy may be done to find cancer or precancer cells on the cervix. Cells that appear to be abnormal, but are not yet cancerous, are called precancerous. These abnormal cells may be the first sign of cancer that may develop years later.
A cervical biopsy may also be used to diagnose and help treat these conditions:
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a cervical biopsy.
Some possible complications may include:
In addition, cone biopsies may increase the risk for infertility and miscarriage. This is because of the changes and scarring in the cervix that may happen from the procedure.
Tell your healthcare provider if:
If possible, a cervical biopsy will be scheduled about 1 week after your period.
You may have risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your provider about any concerns you have before the procedure.
Certain things can make a cervical biopsy less accurate. These include:
You may have a cervical biopsy in a healthcare provider's office, as an outpatient, or during a hospital stay. Some biopsy procedures only need local anesthesia. Other need regional or general anesthesia. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a cervical biopsy follows this process:
Your recovery will depend on the type of biopsy done and if you had anesthesia.
If you have regional or general anesthesia, you will be taken to the recovery room to be watched. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you will be taken to your hospital room or discharged to your home. If you had the procedure done as an outpatient, you should plan to have someone drive you home.
After a simple biopsy, you may rest for a few minutes after the procedure before going home.
You may want to wear a sanitary pad for bleeding. It is normal to have some mild cramping, spotting, and dark or black-colored discharge for several days. The dark discharge is from the medicine put on your cervix to control bleeding.
Take a pain reliever for cramping as recommended by your healthcare provider. Aspirin or certain other pain medicines may increase the chance of bleeding. Be sure to take only recommended medicines.
You may be told not to douche, use tampons, or have sex for 1 week after a biopsy, or for a period advised by your healthcare provider.
After a cone biopsy, you should not put anything into your vagina until your cervix has healed. This may take several weeks. You may also have other limits on your activity, including no heavy lifting.
You may go back to your normal diet unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise.
Your healthcare provider will tell you when to return for further treatment or care. Generally, women who have had a cervical biopsy will need more frequent Pap tests.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any of the following:
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the procedure, depending on your situation.

Well, the introduction forum exists, I know what to do: Hi, my name is Josh and I'm a former Christian. I'm still at the point where fully embracing the term atheist makes me slightly uncomfortable, but I try to call things what they are and as such, I have to call myself a godless heathen whose going to burn in fire until I'm nothing but ashes when I die. I'm planning on being cremated and scattered anyways...and that way if Jesus does surprise me and come back and wants to resurrect me it'll give him a bit more work finding all the pieces, lol.
I've only read a couple threads on the site so far so I don't know how my story stacks up with you guys, but it seems pretty par based on my reading the testimonials on exchristians.net.
Yeah...so I was raised in a mostly Catholic charismatic community (see yeslord.com for more details if you want to know specifics) going to Church every Sunday, prayer meetings Wed & Thursdays, music practice (the community's music ministry) on Mondays, boy scouts (the community's troop) on Tuesdays. I took Bible classes k-12 in their private Christian school, except 1st grade where I went to an actual Catholic school.
I hope I don't have to explain any of this to people, but I can if I need to...unlike I've had to do with Christian groups, I'm going to assume you people are knowledgeable enough to know or intelligent enough to google it.
A normal Catholic kid growing up, from the point of Catholicism, with one notable exception. When it was time to be "confirmed" I sat in the pew with my friends listening to the bishop spout the same thing they always spout and I contemplated the "voluntary" nature of the confirmation sacrament. While I personally didn't give a crap one way or the other, I acknowledged that if I had actually had a desire to not be confirmed, I would find that I did not have that option.
The inevitable condemnation of my peers, probable out-casting, disapproval from my parents, and so on flooded through my mind. I acknowledged in my mind that I probably shouldn't be being confirmed since I didn't really feel it, but it was these thoughts of impending torture that kept me glued to my seat instead of running for my freedom. However even though I've said the same vows numerous times before and after, (it's the Nicene creed they want you to agree with, if I remember correctly), I did not say them when the bishop directed us to as a group. I will admit, that same fear probably had something to do with why I moved my lips ceremoniously up and down (not forming words, just straight up and down) when everyone else was saying the stuff.
So when I graduated and moved out, I do what all normal Catholics do and I became a hedonist. It's the logical move for an invincible 18 year old Catholic. All I had to do was make sure I didn't do anything so bad as to actually die from it and I could go confess to the priest on Saturday night before evening mass. The whole death thing probably is what kept me from getting into drugs too much, I think, the fear of overdose...dying while sinning was not an situation I was willing to risk. I didn't consider alcohol a drug (sure it is, it's obvious now) so it was my drug of choice.
At this point, I kinda lived 2 distinct lives, one for my family and religious friends and one for my bar buddies. They didn't interact much until I got one of my bar buddies pregnant. We eventually got married (it was a lot more story than that, but not relevant to my religious history) and she moved to my family/religious friend list. She wouldn't even step in a bar nowadays.
So I tried to "clean up" my life a bit. I abandoned all of my bar buddies altogether. I started going back to church regularly and me and the wife joined the Alleluia Community. Sure, it's a cult by any normal definition, but it's not any more dangerous than normal Christianity. It was the same place I grew up and I knew their effective motto was that they were Christians helping each other be better Christians. Went back to Wed & Thursdays prayer meetings, etc. All the motions.
I'll admit at this point, I never really was full-hearted in it and left the community (as in membership and participation, not location, I'm still physically located in their midst) because of this half-heartedness, for my own intellectual integrity. Slightly before I left, however, something amazing happened...
I was having a crisis of faith one night, and while outside I looked up at the sky and prayed for some sign...the next day I found Creationism. I considered it a miracle and an answer to prayer, but now I realize it was simply that I started looking for something and hence I found something. You see, at the school I attended, not only was Creationism not taught, no origins discussion ever occurred. The evolution section in high school biology was simply skipped (as was the human reproduction system...don't worry, I figured out where to put things when the time came). Otherwise, it's a pretty decent school. Having no direction in the matter, except the cutout board animations in CCD, I simply assumed that Adam and Eve really existed, that David was always a kid with a slingshot and that Jesus was a hippy (not the word I would have used then, but the same idea) and didn't think anything more about it at all, ever...until that day.
Creationism spawned my interest in the Bible...I was now of the utmost certainty that anything it said in a matter of fact sense (as opposed to parts like the prophecies and psalms where you're supposed look for "spiritual" meaning) were absolutely true. In a matter of days, I went from half-hearted to utterly obsessed with Christianity. I read everything I could about Creationism and studied the Bible like a maniac. I found myself in the midst of groups I had never even heard of arguing like crazy. Much of the time I spent correcting the Creationists for using bad arguments, you know, like the banana being "designed." I literally face-palmed at Cameron when I saw him pull out the crocoduck...yes, even Creationists think he's a numb-nut.
Now, Catholics are not creationists generally (apparently anyways, at least in this area), but since I grew up without any direction, I had no idea who was what. So, I ended up chatting very much with protestants...who have on their list of things to say, a number of complaints against the Catholic Church. So I went on a mission to prove to them that the Catholic Church was correct. That's when I found out that the Vatican doesn't believe in Creationism...it was confusing, but I set it aside for the moment. I never actually came back to it, I realized they were bullshiting before I would have.
My first goal was to tackle the Saturday/Sunday issue (thanks SDA). When the reason for disregarding one of the 10 commandments was not readily apparent, I stopped going to church...just in case. I was extremely disappointed to know that there was absolutely no rationality behind moving the rest day to Sunday...in fact, it's not a rest day at all, it's a worship day. Catholicism did not have a rest day and every argument in favor of Sunday was effectively based on "you should worship all the time." I had to reject Sunday worship on the basis that it ignores and causes people to violate the 10 commandments. If you're not aware, the Sunday they worship on is the 8th day of the week...retards. The commandment says rest on the 7th day, not worship on the 8th day. I could go on, but I'll move on. I started with Catholic resources only, but even the "8th day" protestants didn't have any reason.
During this time, I found that some people had an issue with the Trinity not being in the Bible. I knew it never directly said it, so I made up a list of the minimum requirements needing to be met and gathered from different parts of the Bible...I searched and searched and searched literally for years before I had enough to say matter of factly, it is not in there. With a handful of other doctrines I was simultaniously researching, every one of the Protestant complaints that xxx doctrine wasn't in the Bible were true. And I never found a church which had freed itself of all the unbiblical doctrine. The only thing they seem to be able to say correctly is that all the other ones are wrong, well you're wrong too! I'd have had to pick a church based on which wrong doctrines they had I was most comfortable with and I wasn't willing to accept any lies with my truth so I went to none of them.
By this time, my family and religious friends didn't discuss religion at all with me. No one came to me and asked why I stopped going to church. I raged on facebook a decent amount and on my blog which I since removed...kinda. It's still stored in blogger, just not displayed. I found one guy I could relate to as he was going through something similar. I even drove from Georgia to Ohio for Passover which was fun, not the Passover, the trip in general was fun, and we visited the Creation Museaum, yay!
Both of us had been banned from Answer's in Genesis for discussing that the Trinity doctrine was incorrect. They banned us before they banned the atheists. They went on a banning spree in order to hide banning two of their most active Creationist members on the facebook page, Allen and I. You see, an atheist isn't a threat to Creationists. Most of the time, atheists will refuse to discuss anything from the perspective of being within the creation model framework (i.e. "world view"), just like a non-Catholic will refuse to discuss things from within the perspective of being inside the Catholic viewpoint. At that point, the atheist is dismissed as not understanding the grander scope, or something like that. Also, atheists would clearly lack "the Spirit." Another easy dismissal.
The problem with Allen and I was that we were discussing the Trinity from within the Biblical framework the Creationists wanted us to use in order to be Creationists, but not within the framework they used for devotionals, spiritual truth, etc., which is where they wanted us to worship. It's a bait and switch tactic honestly and I wasn't falling for it. Allen and I spent a few months writing up a very well documented list of why AiG's Trinity "proof" was a pile of crap if based on the method of reading the Bible they recommend when discussing creation. They largely ignored it. The best I got out of them was that they were too busy...right, too busy to discuss one of the most fundamental aspects of Christianity, sure. I can post a link if anyone is interested in that.
I had a long search trying to find a group that actually believed the whole Bible...and what an adventure. I nearly joined a ton of them, but stopped short at every one. Then I found a guy who investigated Islaam and found it false...and went on to investigate Paul. Paul was a liar who disagreed with Peter and Jesus. I didn't take that's guys word against Paul, I investigated his reasons and they were sound. I learned a lot about Bible translating at this point. I became a Sacred Name'r (someone who believes YHWH should not be replaced with "Lord" and should be pronounced correctly) and eventually dropped Luke's gospel (he was Paul's lackey) and all Paul's letters from my Bible (mentally, anyways, I always use online ones) as well as Job, because he's a retard too. Also, Job's description of Satan's activity didn't mesh at all with the rest of the Bible and it's full of a bunch of crap philosophy from people who don't matter on any scale for a great part.
I want to mention at this point, that the past 5 years are a bit of a jumble in my mind. Some of the events happened simultaneously with each other over the course of months or years, but it's logically coherent as I started one part and starting it led to another in roughly the order they're presented above. Today, I've still got at least 4 different worldview's stuck in there and I hate Christianity from each and every one of them. But removing tainted books from my Bible is when it all really broke down...I eventually realized I had no way of knowing which other books should remain.
The end result was that I had to face the fact that if I knew there were alterations and additions that weren't in the originals, I could not trust those parts, but I knew that there was no way for me to know which parts should be and which should not be. The entire thing had to be trashed because with this uncertainty, the entire thing is unreliable.
What I was left with before I discarded the whole thing still had two distinct concepts. There's the Westboro concept, wrath of an angry God, and there's the Hippy Jesus concept, love dude. Ironically, I found myself the only Creationist as a non-Christian surrounded by Christian evolutionists. (Think about that for a sec.)
That's pretty close to where I am now, but I never stop thinking...being an atheist creationist sounds retarded, so I'll probably have to think about that a bit. Anyways, after that, I came to the same conclusion of statistical likeliness of prayer that you can find on Why Won't God Heal Amputees? before I read that site. Though I would add that the statistic for answered prayer is actually higher than he's indicating because prayer requests are a gamble and people naturally weigh the gamble before making the request. Just an example, kid's don't normally pray for snow unless their parent's prime them with, "It might snow." By that time, the parent has already analyzed that there's a decent likeliness to get a "yes" before the kid even prays.
I realized the psychological effects of praise and worship prayer are completely physical, psychological results of the imposed stimuli and activities. I had to come to this conclusion because I remembered the feelings but knew that where I was when I had them was not what I was told it was (that being "the truth") and their God was fiction. I had made a mental distinction between their God and mine shortly before my dad one time told me, "I'd offer to pray with you but you don't worship the same God I do." That was the day I stopped saying "grace" with my family at family gatherings and participating in any of their prayer or worship.
My ultimate conclusion regarding Christianity is that it is a drug. It is a very powerful drug. I am currently going through withdraw, but the beer and ranting on facebook seem to help a little. Priests, monks, nuns, popes, and every other Christian leader is a conman and a drugdealer, and he is that regardless of whether or not he's fooled himself too. My older brother is a conman. He is a music leader in Alleluia as well as a high school teacher and a "head" (their title for the leader of one of their smaller hierarchical structures).
He not infrequently uses scripture out of context, sometimes for jokes, but normally as part of a bad rationalization probably passed to him from some Catholic book or website. I've called it on him a number of times and now he simply avoids talking about the Bible around me. My father will not discuss anything with me either. My mother will discuss things to a certain extent, and she is the only one in my whole family who will, but it does quickly get beyond her tolerance level. My older sister won't listen, but she will give an occasional advice something like, "You do realize that not celebrating Christmas will permanently scar your daughter, right?" I don't know if I've ever had conversation with my younger sister that was more than small talk in my whole life...things didn't change between me and her as far as I can tell.
Of course, I realize my daughter will have issues and I certainly wish for an alternative. Christmas is the most powerful drug I've ever taken and one of the worst times of the year for me now because of the withdraw. I was literally sick for 3 weeks and my mom told me she was worried about me Saturday a couple weeks ago...I told her it would be gone "by Monday." My dad took their Christmas decorations down Sunday and I was totally over my 3 week nausea the following day. I knew when it was going on that it was entirely psychological and going to a doctor wouldn't change a thing.
Hell yes, I want to celebrate in the style of Christmas, but I can't celebrate a bold faced lie with people who actually believe it's true. Who knows, I might be able to celebrate with people who know it's crap, but it wouldn't be the same...I think that knowing the truth about it's falsehood removes it's power to instill the desired brain chemicals. You literally have to actually believe in order to feel it, as they say. Some of their sayings have an entirely different meaning to me now.
I also want to have sex. However, I'm not willing to cheat on my wife and I cannot have sex with her because I know her main intent is to have more children and those children would necessarily be raised Catholic. I cannot make more Catholics, nor even more Christians. The idea of sex with my wife instantly brings up the idea of children because of her obsession. Even before I left the Church, that obsession made it difficult for me to have sex because I can't think about babies while I have sex. At least I know I'll never be a pedophile. She wasn't like that before we got married, she had sex freely without the intent to bare children. It was nearly instant when we got married that sex was now an action performed for the specific purpose of having kids.
She's perpetually mad at me for this, but after last summer when I told her it was going to ruin the marriage, she suppresses it much better. Though I actually told her that not being open and discussing precisely this entire post of what I've told all of you here is what will eventually ruin the marriage, she only heard that it was the being mad part.
Now you guys know more about me than 95% of my friends on facebook.

After rereading Joan Denoo's comment quoting Sir William Drummond, I realize that not all of what I say seems to apply to every Christian. It's a complicated variety. Most of my perspective is among the "spiritual" but I feel it should apply to every spiritual group. Things are certainly not as simple as I would like them to be.
Being a life long heathen, I have to ask: does it bum you out at all thinking of how much time you have spent on this religion quest? I've been an atheist all my life, but until high school I was forced into attending Presyterian church and Sunday school every week, and I went to a Jesuit high school. However, I never spent a minute of my own free time researching theology of any kind. Religion was never some grand topic of discussion with my family, and they knew I was different than them. It sounds like you have spent a tremendous amount of time doing something that, in the end, netted you nothing. You can rest now, brother. Go spend some time not thinking about god and creation. It's time for you to be you - you have a lot of catching up to do.
No, actually, while the time I spent in my quest was fraught with a great deal of emotional and physical pain the net was hardly nothing, it netted the thing sought most by the founders of my country, freedom...ironically because I didn't even know I was in chains. I might say there is regret of having been fooled in the first place (and so long), and grief today that the friends I've known all my life are fooled such. But the research time and the pain are worth it all for knowing the truth.
Joshua, alas, that is what growing up reveals, life is not easy, there are no right/wrong answers, everybody know how to solve your problems, and nobody understands, are comment comments I have heard.
Given these realities, life can be great, full of adventure, and even equanimity. Today, I am 77 years old and I have seen a lot in my few years. If I learned anything, I have no control over others, pleasure comes from simple things, life is healthier when I close the door to toxic people, and there are 7,000,000,000 human beings on the planet and I can pick and choose with whom I want to invest my time an energy.
That is good advice ma'am, I take it to heart.
Joshua, were you told that Santa existed when you were little? Did you have strong feeling upon discovering it was a fairy tale? Or how about the Easter bunny, or halloween, or did you ever read books about people you thought were heroes only to find heroes often have feet of clay?
There are a lot of people who HATE and I mean literally hate Christopher Hitchens, however I find he makes a lot more sense than a lot of people who are more timid in their observations. I especially recommend "The Missionary Position". That knocked my socks off, I started doing a background check and indeed I talked to some people who belonged to her mission and they agreed with Hitch.
I looked for the specific video and they were all blocked and replaced by christian reviews of Hitch. Hahahah! The response of those who fear words, perhaps. Hitch does like to provoke, and here is an example
Christopher Hitches' Epic Opening Statement @IQ² Debate Part 1
I don't ever remember my parents being particularly concealing about who was putting the presents under the tree, stuffing the stockings, filling the Easter baskets. It may have been because I was the 3rd of 4 and the oldest was 6 years older than me. I do not know if they fooled him. Maybe one of my older siblings broke the news before I was old enough to remember the event consciously. We did not celebrate Halloween because it was what the pagans did; we did not watch Journey to Witch Mountain because it had the word witch in its title and witchcraft was evil and forbidden. I don't know the clay feet reference, I'm sorry.
I wasn't familiar with Hitch. I've watched relatively few atheist videos and read no atheist books.
If I understand your point about religious persuasion correctly, religious adherents justify their faith by something mental, a quasi-intuitive "oceanic feeling" (to quote Freud) where they come to be persuaded of an emotional alignment with some projection of the deity that they proceed to worship. Such worship is less the response to priests' command or some exhortation in a book, than almost something resembling falling in love, a filling of a void, a sudden clicking where it all appears to make sense. That feeling is so satisfying that it's tenaciously difficult to shake, unless eventually the contravening evidence becomes overwhelming, and often not even then. Does that sound to be about right?
As you point out, one can not succeed in dissipating such feelings by mere recourse to arguments showing this or that contradiction in the bible, or that heretofore-assumed "divine intervention" can not be explained by scientific research. We can however reach the more intellectually honest believers not through disparagement of their faith, but by pointing out that feelings, no matter how powerful or how operative in moving us towards great deeds, are unreliable basis. One might feel love for family or country, and indeed this can be laudable and generous and productive. But if in the end it's merely a feeling, then the intellectual basis is suspect, even if the emotional basis is impregnable. What one concludes from such assertion is not that religion is necessarily wrong or foolish, but that it can never enjoy the same intellectual basis as say algebra or physics. This won't turn believers into unbelievers, but it will give cause for them to be more circumspect about the consequences of their faith – their moral constructs and so forth.
Regarding paragraph 1: It's a bit more complicated than that. There's a complicated combination including a number of things. Some are stronger for some than others, hence the variety of denominations, but I think the items I listed are at least a fair start.
Normal human activity produces natural brain drugs which can be considered appropriate responses for beneficial activity like eating and hunting. These can be stronger in certain people, as evidenced by certain eating disorders, anger addiction and the condition known as being a "sports fanatic." The conditions and stimuli in churches and religious groups, like meditation (effectively, yes, but they don't call it that), social interactions, especially with food (think: pot lucks, prayer breakfasts, etc.)...I could keep listing, but I think my point should be apparent. Any normal physiological response is hijacked by some Christian group (and most are by most)...you know what, one more example:
Anger is addictive and so is a superiority complex. Westboro Baptist Church is freaking famous...but why do they keep doing it? They're angry. Granted, the reasons behind their anger are such that few would embrace. And, combined with that there's the feelings of superiority that are probably most apparent in their expressions. Just an example. Again, all of these things are natural body reactions.
I wish I had the money to do the study, or a handy reference at least, but the brain, I'm pretty sure, holds a literal relationship structure for relationships with God and whatever other figures (Jesus, Holy Spirit, saints, dead people, etc.). Thinking you can literally communicate with them, even forming literal mental personal relationship structures, is as good as actually being able to see them in person physically with your own eyes. These structures I imagine (and based on my personal experience I'd wager toward) are much stronger than the relationships with known fictional characters like those from books and tv shows (and while I don't have the reference, I do remember seeing a study that those are similar).
To those who are already convinced already, this one seems absent...but it certainly isn't. Peer pressure doesn't affect people who are already inclined to do the things that their peers want. But on ex-christians.net's list of testimonials, you can see that peer pressure is a highly motivating point. Also, in my original post.
There's a lie going around Christianity about God being the only possible thing to fill the void. "There's a God shaped hole in your heart that can only be filled by Him," is something I've probably heard (if not exactly, definitely that as a paraphrase). Certainly for those who have a loneliness, having a best friend you can access all the time is an intense convincing. "I was lonely, then God came into my life."
But, in the end, maybe we agree. It is definitely an experience that is extremely satisfying...I literally felt like I lost one (or more, depending on how I think about it) of my best friends and pressing "yes" (or whatever) when asked are you an atheist when joining this site was the closest I will ever come to a funeral.
Paragraph 2: I'm not sure it's impossible to dispense with the religious beliefs on a purely "rational" basis, one has to take their condition in mind and work with what you can. Please note the defense systems they've put in place before you try. I think I mentioned them in other posts, so I won't repeat their reasons at the moment. "Not having the Spirit." "He's an atheist." Among other conversation stoppers should be taken into account before engaging. I followed a path that cannot be induced in anyone I've met, but I've understood things at all the places I've been.
It's a very deep mental state. There are very convincing (to them) mental blocks to even encountering the discussion would lead to what we would view as a reasonable conversation. There are the afore mentioned stimuli-induced drugs, and the (from my experience, I'd say more real than with any with any fictional character, for reason of not realizing the fiction) relationships with God, Jesus and (in the denominations that apply) Holy Spirit.
I have them telling me over and over, "If you just believe," but it's a deep psychological condition. Explaining to them why is very complicated. I am confident though...there must be a way.
I missed the community I had in church and feared I would never have another without the binding force of religious concept and like-believers. Even my social groups were all religious and not interested in my questions, challenges or ideas. I sought out people with whom I could discuss such things, finding them first on Atheist Nexus and other local atheist sites and slowly people began to appear who share my interests. I have community of atheists and we discuss interesting things even as we have a lot of fun.
I had no interest in resisting religion until religious people began joining different groups I support locally. We had a project on building strong families, intending it to be religion neutral, supportive of single and GLBT families and very soon there were more religious proselytizers than freethinkers. I could see the role they played in dominating local economic and political matters in our community and telling lies about those of us who are atheists. That got sickening very quickly.
Now I am a very active supporter of speaking out about what I don't like about any religion and why I choose to be an atheist ... indeed, I join the parade of anti-theists, not because I want to be anti- anything, but because I do not like what religion teaches, disagree with their basic principles and feel disgust when I hear exaggerations and misrepresentations.
Religious have homes and places of worship where they can discuss their beliefs. It is very easy for me to say my piece when I hear "I will pray for you," or "Turn it over to god". That is a perfect excuse for not thinking a problem through. Lazy and cheap religion doesn't work for me and I want it known how I think.
Religion is "complicated"? Well, I suppose you can say that. I respectfully disagree. Religion is simplistic. Being fully human is complicated.
Perhaps we're talking about it from two different angles. I would word it that religion makes people simplistic, but the mechanics involved to get a person to do that are complicated.
i don't like you as a young guy, i hated that you, living two lives, trying to be something one time and something completely different another and completely untrue to yourself, only concerned with being acceptable, you sounded like a hypocrite and a pussy to me. i like the older you better, when you actually cared about finding answers to things, actually cared about what it is you were believing in...sorry if i sound harsh it's just that, i hate people like that, i dunno, it's just i've been judged by people like that my whole life, i was never able to "fit in" i really wanted to but it was not possible for me. you're nothing like that now, i like the person you are now. the way you think and feel about things is so realistic and down to earth, not simple minded and biased like so many people. you don't take things at face value, rather you take the time to see things are they are, and that is an admirable quality, one which i believe may have gotten you out of theism, it must have been that. this is a great story, you can see three different people emerging throughout, you can see a change in psychology from one stage to another and i think it's something many of us can relate to, except for the first part with me, lol, i kind of always gravitated towards fanaticism, i think out of loneliness and because of struggles within the household. anyways, what you said about answers in Genesis was very enlightening, this information about the website definitely needed to be shared, so, keep doing what you're doing man, i wish you the best of luck in life and i like the person who you've become which i can't say about a lot of people, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise! they're probably a bunch of self-righteous loons :P

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A pair of animated singing princesses kept the top spot on the weekly Billboard 200 chart of best-selling albums on Wednesday, ahead of Grammy-winning artists, as a new sing-along version of Disney's "Frozen" propelled sales of the soundtrack album.
"Frozen" sold 94,000 copies last week according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan, marking a fourth non-consecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard 200. The film, a tale of two Scandinavian princess sisters forced to save their kingdom from an everlasting winter, also raked in $9.3 million at the box office last weekend with its new sing-along version.
It is the first film soundtrack to spend four weeks at the top of the album chart in a decade, Billboard said. The last album to do the same was the "Bad Boys II" soundtrack in August 2003, spending four consecutive weeks at No. 1.
"Frozen" continued to hold off the official "2014 Grammy Nominees" album, which held steady at No. 2 with sales of 87,000 copies. The Grammy awards on January 26 did boost sales of its performers, as albums from Lorde, Beyonce, Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry and Daft Punk all featured in the top 10 this week.
Perry's single "Dark Horse," which she performed on the Grammy stage with rapper Juicy J, held the top spot on the Digital Songs chart this week, with 373,000 downloads.
Bruno Mars, who won a Grammy and also performed at the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, watched by a record-breaking 115.3 million viewers, saw his album "Unorthodox Jukebox" climb from No. 18 to No. 7 this week.
Only two new albums debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 this week. Heavy metal group Of Mice & Men's latest album "Restoring Force" came in at No. 4 while Christian rock band Casting Crowns landed at No. 6 with its latest record "Thrive."
For the week ending February 2, overall album sales notched 4.6 million units, down 12 percent from the comparable week in 2013, Billboard said.

POLL: Do schools' extra duties detract from academics?
Hunger among some students has become so common that one elementary school teacher keeps a bagful of Froot Loops near her classroom door.
When kids arrive with clothes too ragged or dirty -- or don't come at all because they lack clothing -- schools make sure they have something decent to wear.
And when neglect has left the occasional youngster so unkempt that his hygiene affects others, school nurses have even taken to bathing them.
Teachers see these as small but necessary gestures, because kids who are hungry, dirty or unwell have more to worry about than learning. But these acts point to the increasingly complex nature of public education.
Nowadays, school isn't just about academics. It's a place where all of society's problems come through the door. And when things go wrong in the community, like Chattanooga's front-and-center gang violence, schools are one of the first places decision-makers look to fix the problem.
"The definition of education is changing," said Hamilton County Superintendent Rick Smith. "It's not just about content anymore."
Public schools' to-do lists keep growing:
• Regulate what and how much kids eat.
• Make sure they get enough exercise.
• Manage chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma.
• Screen for vision and hearing problems.
• Help kids cope with extreme poverty, neglect and even abuse.
• Make sure kids pull up their pants and learn to speak properly.
• Teach them to speak English for the first time.
Those and many other tasks are piled on top of increasing academic standards at a time when teachers and schools are under immense pressure to improve student performance and close achievement gaps.
Of 19 recommendations in the Chattanooga Comprehensive Gang Assessment, a dozen of them were centered on schools.
Local research released last month pointed to a problem of teen dating violence and recommended implementing new programming in schools to help keep boyfriends and girlfriends from hurting each other. Still, one researcher warned against piling all the responsibility on the school system.
"Every single social problem, we go to the schools and say, 'You need to fix this. You need to fix this,'" said Helen Eigenberg, professor and chairwoman of the criminal justice department at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
In many ways, schools are an easy target. And a regular one.
"The school is always the first place you turn to, particularly for problems that have to do with children and adolescent youth, because they're a captive audience," said John Puckett, education historian and professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. "You've got whole batches of them in the same place on a regular basis at the same times. It makes schools easy prey for this."
When addressing a problem as deeply rooted as gang violence, Puckett said, school-based programs alone will never be enough. Social and health plagues should be dealt with across the entire community because laying one stand-alone program on top of another has proven ineffective, he said.
"It is such an incredible mess. And we've created that mess," Puckett said. "And we haven't provided the resources at any level to support what we were trying to do, which was probably too much to begin with, because there was no overall plan or vision."
Still, schools are trying to do more and more.
Federal regulations changed this year, dictating strict calorie, salt, fat and sugar counts for school lunch programs. The change was an effort to provide healthier meals and curb childhood obesity, though some have said the rules are creating a nanny state.
Schools are trying to hang onto physical education classes, even with tight budgets. And some teachers have even started using exercise in their classrooms in an effort to stimulate minds and keep bodies fit.
Some programs send students home with food at night or on weekends because they know school lunch could be the only meal some of those kids get. Each weekend, about 200 students in three Bradley County schools go home with snack packs filled with two wholesome meals.
And school nurses are now helping to provide a spectrum of care, from tummy aches to chronic diseases.
While Hamilton County had six school nurses in 1997, the system now employs 76 at a cost of about $2 million a year, said Sheryl Rogers, coordinator of health services for the district.
Instead of just fixing boo-boos, nurses now spend most of their time treating and monitoring diabetes, asthma and seizure disorders.
"Those are the driving force behind the nursing budget," she said.
Nurses keep track of students' maintenance inhalers, monitor blood sugar and use complex insulin pumps. They also treat problems like lice or poor hygiene.
"It's just like a little clinic," Rogers said.
At Orchard Knob Elementary, some teachers say they relish the chance to provide and care for kids, doing far more than just teaching.
Third-grade teacher Rosalyn Tiller said she works first to build relationships with students and families. That way, she's more likely to know when a child is hungry, sick or preoccupied with what's going on at home. If she can address those problems, a child is more likely to pay attention to math, reading and science.
"If I give a child something to eat, I get what I want, too," she said.
Orchard Knob teachers have helped connect students with after-school programs, housing opportunities and medical care. Ellen Craig, an English as a second language teacher, said the school acts as a community hub, because it's often where issues are first noticed.
Craig once introduced a Hispanic family to an inner-city ministry and after-school program, which helped them get connected to Habitat for Humanity and find housing. She heard of a child with no furniture at home and put the family in touch with a community organization that provided beds and mattresses. She has even learned to navigate TennCare, helping kids get new glasses.
"If you know what's going on and you're the only one that knows, you've got to get involved," Craig said.
Poverty is driving much of the change.
As more families struggle with poverty at Chattanooga Valley Elementary in Flintstone, Ga., students come to school with more and more issues. Principal Heather Culberson said the school tries to give students everything they need.
But poverty can cause kids to come to class hungry, tired or distracted.
Or sometimes, kids don't come to school at all.
Several children from one family recently missed several days of school, not because of illness, but because they had no clothes to wear. On their return to school, the youngest came dressed only in pajamas.
"That was all he could find to wear," Culberson said.
So the school found someone to buy the children shoes and socks. And underwear.

is one of those madly luxurious brands that have truly high end, gorgeous products.
One of their newer releases is this Phyto Star Eyes Quad in Sparkling Rhapsody in a metallic gun mental case.
The packaging is interesting – you press the bottom bit and the lid flips over so you have a generous sized mirror and quite clever, is that some of the mirror is exposed when the case is shut. I realised this is so you can get a quick look in the mirror without opening the case!
I must admit I expected quite a lot – Sisley is not a cheap brand and I wanted something quite special to go with the unique packaging.
On top of the pretty packaging, Sparkling Rhapsody has four shades which are right up my street – you know I love my blues and greens – there is White Pearl, Black Star, Silver Moon and Blue Lagoon.
All of the colours are pigmented but they aren't soft – if that makes sense. You don't get tons of product flinging off like you do with some pigmented shadows (like Sleek palettes!) – in the Sisley palette feels firm yet the pigment is good.
We have…– A classic pearl white
– A deep black infused with silver glitter
– A silver grey with sparkles
– A light blue
For me the most impressive thing was the grey and black/charcoal – the silver glitter in these are significant yes they blend in nicely and stand out at the same time. They sparkles are evenly distributed. For example with Nars Tropic eyeshadow the glitter flakes are a nightmare because they are so chunky!
In the Sisley, the glittery particles cause little or no fall out and are evenly distributed. That, I find impressive.
But is anything here a let down? Well, I wanted the blue to be more vivid then it was – it's more of a pastel blue and I wanted a punchy disco blue because for me, this is the selling shade. Nevertheless, in the context of this palette, it works well.
All in all a lovely palette. It helps if you like silver and blues of course! I do, so I like it! On the eye:
Do I think this is worth investing in? Yes – I think this palette can work for the day or for the evening but of course, you have to like the colours.
Sisley is sold in House of Fraser and you can
Have you ever tried Sisley?

Tim Cavanagh: So, did you hear the one about the high school teacher who walked into a comedy club--and they hired him? That's where the Tim Cavanagh comedy story begins. For a full year, Tim taught teenagers by day. By night, he sang his funny songs in Chicago comedy clubs. "Not surprisingly, I found the biggest difference between the classroom and the nightclub was the drunks--which I generally let the principal handle," Tim says. Since leaving the classroom, Tim Cavanagh has brought his comedic songs and inventive stand-up to concert halls, corporations, college campuses and nightclubs across America. Over the years, he has also made several trips to Canada, where he has to convert all his jokes to Celsius and his one degree in philosophy becomes a bone-chilling minus 31. He has even performed on the island of St. Lucia, his first time ever doing comedy in the Atlantic Standard time zone, where they got his jokes one hour sooner than they would have in New York. Early on, it was Tim's funny songs that got a lot of attention. His song, "I Wanna Kiss Her (But She Won't Let Me)," was the first of Tim's pieces to receive national radio exposure, on the legendary "Dr. Demento" show. Other songs followed, including "99 Dead Baboons," "Get Drunk with Dignity," and "Really Safe Sex." His funny music has been heard on radio stations everywhere, as well as on XM Satellite and even the BBC. In 1997, Tim released his first CD, "Sounds Like Fun!" By then he had become a regular guest on "The Bob & Tom Show," a nationally syndicated radio show now heard in 150 markets. For two years, Tim did a weekly segment on the show called "The One Minute Song," which spawned two more CDs released on Tim's own label, Hits & Giggles Records. At a recent Hits & Giggles awards dinner, Tim was recognized by the label as their "Best Artist," an award he has won three out of the last four years. Even though he is the only act on the roster, a misty-eyed Cavanagh was quoted as saying, "It's still a big thrill." As for television, Tim has not only appeared on Comedy Central, he was chosen by the network to do several live performances for their clients and customers. His national appearances on ABC-TV, Showtime, WGN, and Comcast have helped Tim deal with his biggest TV disappointment--calling QVC seconds too late to get a great deal on a colander set. The book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jokes, features a half-page of Tim's advice on "How Not to Introduce a Joke," as well as other select jokes. And just to clear up a rumor: if you look up "gullible" in the dictionary, you will NOT find a picture of Tim. He's checked. Tim's book, Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian Soul, just went through its sixth printing. Cavanagh firmly believes in printing them "one at a time."

FT. MYERS, Fla. – After reaching the semifinal round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Lipscomb men's soccer had two student-athletes named to the All-Tournament Team.
Junior Tyler Burkhardt and sophomore Omar Djabi each connected on goals in the tournament, leading to their inclusion on the squad. This is the first postseason tournament honor for both.
Burkhardt struck the game-winner in the 31st minute of play against USC Upstate to send the Bisons to the semifinal round. It was Burkhardt's second goal on the season.
The forward received a pass from Jeremy Reid and made a spin move around the final Spartan defender to create an open lane. Launching his shot from the right corner of the 18-yard box, the ball glanced off the fingertips of the goalkeeper and into the upper-left corner of the net.
Djabi, a Second Team All-ASun member, scored the equalizer in the semifinal match at Florida Gulf Coast. Utilizing a free kick in the 77th minute, Djabi placed a line drive into the upper-right corner that helped the Bisons force overtime.
Djabi ended the season with three goals and two assists. He was also honored at the University of Central Arkansas Invite and Hyatt Place Select/Lipscomb Invitational with All-Tournament selections.
Lipscomb ended its season 7-12-1 overall and in fifth place in the A-Sun with a 3-4-1 record.
