Refugee finds helping others not taxing
It took him six years and six countries, but in 2009, Iraqi refugee Luay Aziz found a home in the El Cajon office of the International Rescue Committee. He attends classes at Cuyamaca College and works as a cage cashier at the Viejas Casino, but the IRC is where his heart is. Also his brain and his calculator.
"The first time I came here, I was waiting in the reception area, and I watched how friendly people were and how happy everyone was about helping other people, and I just loved the environment," Aziz said of the El Cajon branch of the IRC, a nonprofit group that helps refugees with everything from clothes and housing to immigration assistance and small-business loans.
"I applied for a job, but they didn't hire me. I wanted to be here, so I volunteered. It is my second home. I help them, and they help me."
The 35-year-old Aziz is a member of the IRC's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, which helps low-income clients — many of them refugees with limited English skills — by giving them free income-tax preparation. The job requires 16 hours of classroom training, much of it on the weekends. When tax season rolls around, volunteers must be available for at least six hours of tax-preparation duty every week.
It is a demanding job with a lot of responsibility and nothing in the way of salary. But for Aziz, an aspiring bookkeeper and accountant, it adds up perfectly. After volunteering in the front office for three years, he joined the tax program in 2012.
"I was one of those people once, so I feel so happy when I can help them," Aziz said of his refugee clients. "But a very important thing about doing taxes is it helps me understand how the United States works. To be part of the community, I have to understand how society works, how the government works and what people are thinking. I learn something new every day."
Aziz's journey from Iraq to El Cajon was long and full of detours. In Iraq, he studied mechanical engineering at the University of Technology in Baghdad while working as a carpenter and a videographer. He and his family — mother, father, two brothers and a sister — fled Iraq in 2003. After a brief stop in Turkey, Aziz ended up in Greece, where he continued with carpentry.
In late 2006, he headed for the U.S. by way of Spain, Guatemala and Mexico. When he arrived in San Diego, Aziz had a mechanical-engineering degree that he couldn't use because of lack of documentation and carpentry skills that were not in demand because of the recession. So he began studying business administration at Cuyamaca and started working in gas stations. Many gas stations.
"When I got here, I was starting from zero. I was looking for a good job and how to find a space in this society," said Aziz, who got his associate degree in business administration last year and returned to study accounting and bookkeeping. "It is still a big challenge, learning how to follow the rules and how to deserve to be an American. But I believe that if somebody wants to do something, they can do it."
At the IRC's no-frills office on East Main Street, Aziz spends his Mondays preparing his clients' tax forms and connecting them with other IRC services as necessary. It helps that he can speak Arabic, Greek and Chaldean. It also helps that he speaks with the voice of experience.
"He's very good at this," said Jason Jarvinen, program manager for the committee's Center for Financial Opportunity. "As someone who came recently to the U.S. himself, he has firsthand knowledge of the challenges of the system. He is very calm and patient. When it is a really busy day and there are a lot of customers who are in a rush, he never gets flustered. He is unflappable."
In a perfect world, this volunteer job with the IRC would lead to a paid position, and Aziz's home-away-from-home would become his office. But if that doesn't happen, he's OK with that. He may be a numbers man, but Luay Aziz knows that the best things in life have a different kind of bottom line.
"Not everything you do should be evaluated by money. Doing something just for people makes you feel more like a human being than doing it just for money. I give up my time to sleep to do this, and it's a great feeling. I think everybody should try it."

Apple's keynote on Monday highlighted some of the coolest new features in iOS 5, but it turns out that the presentation only scratched the surface of what's in store.
A German guy called Simon Pierro found some really "magical" features in iOS 5, things that they probably should have at least mentioned at the keynote. Personally, I really like that "space time connection" thing, although I expect it will put a lot of Chinese food delivery guys out of business.

First quick glance at the alien space ship (one of three small vessels from the look of the lights).
Just a good old fashioned Western, with aliens.
Daniel Craig's arm candy apparently has a lot more than just guns.
Here's a closer look at his fancy bracelet.
Some sort of alien POV? Is this the alien cam???
Olivia sidles up to Craig and coos "you don't remember anything do you?" What, what? Also we're over-the-moon happy that they included a Western saloon in this film. Sidenote: The saloon itself is owned by Sam Rockwell...who is not pictured anywhere in the trailer.

Through the examples of the exhibits, visitors will be able to see various periods in the development of glyptic art and to trace the continuity of traditions in this field and closely connected areas of creative practice.
Glyptics – the art of carving in miniature on semi¬precious and precious stones – is among the most ancient forms of human creativity.
Although the word itself is of Italian origin, intaglios – stones with a hollow-cut design – were known as far back as the 4th millennium BC and were used as amulets and personal seals. Relief cameos (also Italian, probably from the Old French сamaïeu) appeared later, in Hellenistic Egypt, in the late 4th or early 3rd century BC. In contrast to intaglios, they had no practical purpose and were prized chiefly for their aesthetic value. Cameos were kept as precious relics in the treasuries of temples and in the homes of high-born owners. They adorned clothing and objects of religious and secular significance. In imperial Rome they also served as awards or decorations. As a rule, transparent or semitransparent stones of a single colour (carnelian, sard) were chosen for intaglios, while stones with different layers (onyx, agate) were used for cameos, making it possible to achieve a variety of colouristic effects.
The glyptic art of Antiquity developed over the course of many centuries. The earliest examples included in the exhibition date from the 4th–3rd millennia BC. They are intaglios that were used as personal seals. In the Ancient World intaglio seals had a hole drilled all the way through them and were worn on a cord (Scarab with an incised image on the base, Etruria, 3rd century BC; Scaraboid with an incised image on the base, Asia Minor, Ionia(?), 4th century BC), or else were set into rings or handles.
Classical Antiquity saw the working out of carving techniques, the range of subjects and the laws of composition and sculptural treatment that went on to shape the development of post-classical glyptics. The production of cameos and intaglios did not cease in Western Europe in the Middle Ages, while classical examples were used to decorate reliquaries, quite often with a change in the interpretation of the subject (pagan images were readily associated with Christian legends).
One of the most iconic works of ancient glyptic art is the Gonzaga Cameo (3rd century BC) that is kept in the State Hermitage. The majority of modern-day scholars identify the double portrait as the rulers of Egypt Ptolemy II Philadelphus and Arsinoë II. The anonymous 17th-century Italian stone-carver who created the cameo of Alexander the Great and Olympias that can be seen in the exhibition did not reproduce the Gonzaga Cameo exactly, but rather produced a variation on the theme of a regal couple, presenting in a characteristic manner idealized images of the Macedonian ruler and his mother. This pattern for a double portrait also endured into the late 19th century (the brooch with a cameo Double Portrait of Franz Josef I and Elizabeth of Bavaria). The present-day carver Vladimir Popovich did make a precise copy of the Gonzaga Cameo, but as an intaglio.
European glyptic art was at its peak at the time of the Renaissance and again in the second half of the 18th century.
In Renaissance Italy this art form reached incredible heights: the foremost carvers came as close as possible to classical ideal that was considered unattainable, while enriching it with genres unknown in Antiquity: portraiture and Christian subjects. The cameos from this period in the exhibition include a Nativity (Northern Italy, c. 1500), an Annunciation (Italy, first half of the 15th century) and The Judgement of Solomon (Germany, first half of the 16th century). Ancient glyptic pieces became the object of passionate collecting. The legendary collectors – the Medicis, Gonzagas, Farneses, Popes Paul II and Leo X – were also art patrons, stimulating carvers to produce new works. The Renaissance also gave a powerful impetus to the study and interpretation of the subjects of cameos and intaglios.
The next period of heightened interest in glyptic art came in the 18th century. Carved stones were collected by royalty: George III, Frederick the Great and Maria Theresa. Their enthusiasm was matched by members of the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, and also by many scholars, artists and writers. Catherine II was a tremendous collector. The Empress jokingly referred to her passion as an "illness" and as a result of it the Russian imperial collection came to contain a very rich assortment of European and Eastern glyptic art. By the end of Catherine II's reign, it numbered more than 10,000 carved stones and a further 34,000 casts. The exhibition features an Intaglio on an aquamarine with a depiction of Catherine the Great that was made by the court medallist Carl Leberecht (1755–1827). He depicted his regal client in the travelling costume that she wore when visiting Kiev during her journey to the Crimea in 1787. The display also includes works of stone-carvers active in Russia in the 19th century: a Cameo Portrait of Suvorov by Piotr Dobrokhotov (1786(?)–1831) and Christ Crowned with Thorns by Prokopy Kuznetsov (before 1789 – after 1850).
In all times, carved stones have in themselves been perceived as precious objects and they have fetched exceptionally high prices. They were used to decorate articles of various purposes, including status symbols: vases, snuffboxes and pieces of jewellery. Examples in the exhibition include a panagia incorporating a cameo of the Crucifixion, a snuffbox with an intaglio of The Triumph of Galatea and another with a cameo lid: Making an Offering to Aesculapius and Pan.
Seals from the 18th and 19th century form a significant element within the exhibition, being of considerable interest in respect of both the stone-cutter's art and the jeweller's art. A large number of the exhibits are mounted in striking settings a Triangular Seal (mid-18th century, Russia) that probably belonged to Empress Elizabeth; a Seal with a Handle in the Form of a Woman's Head (Western Europe, mid-18th century); a Desk Seal of Alexander II (Russia, after 1856); a Desk Seal of Tsesarevich Nikolai Alexandrovich (Russia, 1850s–60s) and the desk seals of D.A. Benckendorff (1845–1917), an actual state councillor and a member of the board of the Russian Foreign Trade Bank.
Present-day craftspeople paying tribute to the great past of stone-carving seek their own course in this form of artistic creativity. In the exhibition works of contemporary glyptic art enter into a dialogue with the historical cameos and intaglios from the museum collection. This art form in the 20th and 21st centuries is presented to the viewers through the prism of works by the carver Vladimir Popovich. They have a broad range of subject matter. The display includes pieces depicting ancient myths, biblical subjects, portraits of historical personages, great thinkers, emperors and military commanders – Diogenes (2010), Alexander Nevsky (2015); Portrait of Anna Akhmatova (2004); Portrait of Academician Dmitry Likhachev (2005); an Intaglio of the Gonzaga Cameo and more.
The exhibition also includes works of jewellery and small-scale plastic art in stone with elements of carving both from the 18th and 19th centuries and among the jewellery in which the House of Tenzo specializes.
The exhibition has been prepared by the Department of Western European Applied Art (headed by Olga Grigoryevna Kostiuk). The preparatory restoration of exhibits was carried out by the Laboratory for the Scientific Restoration of Precious Metals (headed by Igor Karlovich Malkiel) in the State Hermitage's Department of Scientific Restoration and Conservation (headed by Tatiana Alexandrovna Baranova).
The curators and authors of the exhibition concept are Svetlana Victorovna Kokareva, Deputy Head of the Department of Western European Applied Art, and Igor Karlovich Malkiel, Head of the Laboratory for the Scientific Restoration of Precious Metals.
A scholarly illustrated catalogue Gliptika: proshloe i nastoiashchee [Glyptics: Past and Present] has been brought out for the exhibition by the State Hermitage Publishing House. The author of the catalogue texts is Svetlana Victorovna Kokareva.
The exhibition has been organized by the State Hermitage in conjunction with the TENZO jewellery house.

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- The lone surviving suspect captured during last year's terrorist assault on Mumbai named a leading al Qaeda-linked Pakistani militant as one of the masterminds behind the attacks in a surprise courtroom confession on Monday.
Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel burns during last November's attack by gunmen.
Admitting his role in the carnage which left more than 160 people dead, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab said Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba had been involved in plotting the attacks.
But he made no mention of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the head of an Islamist charity in Pakistan, also accused by Indian authorities of being involved in the plot.
Kasab is one of 10 Pakistani nationals who police say unleashed terror on India's financial capital for four days and three nights in November. Other gunmen were killed during the attacks.
Kasab faces 86 charges, including waging war against India, murder and attempted murder in connection with the gunmen's protracted siege of prominent Mumbai buildings including the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower and Oberoi-Trident hotels, Mumbai's historic Victoria Terminus train station and a Jewish cultural center, Chabad House.
He had pleaded not guilty to all charges, and recanted a confession to the crimes that he said was made under duress.
Chief public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told CNN that Kasab's change of plea had taken the court by surprise but said he believed Kasab was still "hiding many things."
The prosecution would give its verdict on the confession when the trial resumes Tuesday, he said. The trial has been under way for two weeks, and the court has heard from 134 of 150 witnesses. Watch what the court could do next
"We will now determine whether he is telling the truth. Is there more he has to say? Is he trying to shift the blame to the attackers who died? We will analyze his statement fully," said Nikam.
Nikam said charges brought against Kasab by Pakistani investigators could have influenced the suspect's change of plea.
But he said Kasab's confession was a "big victory" for the prosecution. "Not only is he a grade-A terrorist, he is a good actor also," Nikam said.
In his remarks, defense attorney Abbas Kazmi said he had no idea his client would be making a confession.
Lakhvi, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba's operational chief, was arrested in raids by Pakistani security forces in December last year, shortly after the Mumbai attacks.
In a statement issued at the time, the U.S. government said Lakhvi had directed Lashkar-e-Tayyiba's military operations in southeast Asia, Chechnya, Bosnia and Iraq.
"Lakhvi instructed LeT associates in 2006 to train operatives for suicide bombings," according to a U.S. government statement. "Prior to that, Lakhvi instructed LeT operatives to conduct attacks in well-populated areas."
The United States lists Lashkar-e-Tayyiba as a terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
Authorities believe Kasab, 21, was trained by Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, which was banned in Pakistan in 2002 after an attack on India's parliament. The group has denied responsibility.
The man authorities claim is Kasab was caught on surveillance camera holding a gun as he stalked and killed people inside the train station, police said. He's also accused of shooting people at the city's Cama hospital.
CNN's Mallika Kapur said Kasab had stood up in court and told the judge: "Sir, I plead guilty to my crime." Asked to clarify his plea, Kasab said he pleaded guilty to all charges, Kapur said.
Ashok Chavan, chief minister of the Indian state of Maharashtra, urged the court to reach a verdict quickly and called for Kasab to face a heavy sentence following his change of plea.
"The trial should be completed as soon as possible and the toughest punishment should be given to him," Chavan told CNN-IBN. "Kasab is just the tip of the iceberg. Pakistan needs to work towards curbing terrorism which is now a global issue."
Sanjay Govilkar, an eyewitness who said he was at the scene when Kasab was captured, told CNN-IBN that the suspect's confession was "a moment of joy."
"Kasab had been hearing statements of eyewitnesses day in and day out," Govilkar said. "Kasab must have realised that the whole world knew about his crime and so he confessed to his crime. This is no brave act of confession, it was inevitable."
CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh contributed to this report.

Other top prospects must wait turn for Majors
CHICAGO -- The Cubs have decided to play Arismendy Alcantara at second and center, so the next question is, when do the other top prospects get to the big leagues?
Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer has been asked that a lot.
"I'm not going to sit here and answer that," Hoyer said Tuesday. "There's a lot of baseball left to be played. There may be more guys who come up at some point the rest of the year. It's important to focus on what's out here now.
"It's fun to look at the box scores at [Triple-A] Iowa and [Double-A] Tennessee, but I don't think anytime you switch a guy's position, or a guy has a big night, people shouldn't be clamoring for a promotion."
Fans eager to see the so-called "core four" get closer to the big leagues got their wish on Tuesday. The Cubs announced they were promoting top prospects Jorge Soler to Triple-A Iowa and Albert Almora to Double-A Tennessee. Soler, 22, was batting .415 at Tennessee after going 2-for-3 on Tuesday with a triple. The outfielder was limited early this season because of leg injuries.
Almora, the Cubs' No. 1 pick in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, hit his seventh home run on Tuesday, and was batting .283 with 50 RBIs.
Javier Baez, the Cubs' top-ranked prospect on MLB.com's list, has started at second base in four of his last five games at Iowa. Hoyer said the decision to move Baez from shortstop to second had nothing to do with Tuesday's decision to designate veteran Darwin Barney for assignment.
"We want to increase [Baez's] versatility," Hoyer said. "We thought it was the right thing to do to put him there."
The Cubs had hoped to have Baez playing second before the All-Star break, but decided to wait, as the infielder struggled at the plate.
There also has been talk internally of moving Kris Bryant, the team's first-round Draft pick last year, to the outfield, but Hoyer said they want him to stay at third base.

I can explain the underlying cause of most diseases in just 13 words: "the failure of our brains sets into motion the failure of our bodies".
I am Dr. Patrick Nemechek, D.O. and I focus on the Autonomic Nervous System because modern disease is Autonomic Dysfunction. I do not rely on pills or surgeries to mask symptoms, I treat the underlying physiological processes that are making people sick. I am a classically trained internal medicine doctor and I'm an expert in the Autonomic Nervous System because this is where your brain becomes unable to control your cells, organs, bodily functions, and inflammation. Everyone has an opportunity for improved health or disease reversal, with improved or restored Autonomic function.
Understanding whether you have Autonomic Dysfunction is often the key to many of your medical mysteries.
The reversal of a wide range of symptoms, illnesses, and chronic diseases by repairing your cellular, brain, and nervous system damage is a new and whole-body approach to medicine. Combining my 30 years of internal medicine expertise with Autonomic Nervous System analysis and an in depth understanding of cell function and inflammation, we can induce stem production and other reparative mechanisms within the nervous system and the body to repair themselves.
There are two main branches in the Autonomic Nervous System, the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic.
The Sympathetic branch is responsible for energy expenditure ("fight or flight") and the Parasympathetic branch is responsible for energy conservation and restoration ("rest and digest").
If the Sympathetic commands are disrupted people feel tired, crave salt or sugar, or get anxious. People may get heart palpitations, tingling or numbness, disrupted night vision, varicose veins, erectile dysfunction, stiff necks and shoulders, headaches and insomnia.
If the Parasympathetic commands are disrupted they affect the intestinal tract (heartburn or constipation), immune system (autoimmune disorders), and produces chronic pain syndromes. People may get sleep apnea, "restless legs", morning nausea, night sweats/hot flashes, or power surge sensations when they should be at rest, and non-restorative sleep.
[bracket_quote]Balance between the two Autonomic branches is necessary for a long and healthy life. Autonomic imbalance reduces your ability to fight disease and stress, and eventually places you at a higher risk of death from all causes.[/bracket_quote]
Causes of Autonomic Dysfunction
- Head Injury (concussions)
- Emotional Trauma
- Metabolic Injury (medications, chemo/radiation, heat stroke)
- Inflammatory Injury (infections, vaccines, surgery, allergy tests/shots)
- Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Pregnancy
Compounding Factors
- Poor Diet
- Metabolic Inflammation
- Medications
- Omega-3 Fatty Acid Deficiency
- Omega-6 Fatty Acid Excess
- Excessive Calorie Consumption (Overnutrition)
- Symptoms Lessen As the Brain Repairs
- Core Nutrients Lower Brain Inflammation
- Stem Cell Production Resumes
- Natural Brain Repair Mechanisms Activate
- Vagus Nerve Stimulation Speeds Recovery
- Cell Functions Normalize
- Long Term Damage is Reversible
Autonomic Dysfunction is present in most all chronic diseases which is why repairing the Autonomics helps improve or reverse a wide array of symptoms, illnesses, and diseases.
Because the Autonomics control our entire body, Autonomic disorders include the brain not properly regulating the heart, lungs, kidney, liver, blood pressure, blood sugar, digestion, bladder and bowels, immune system, sleep cycles, hunger cycles, temperature, circulation, hormone production, and the immune system. Autonomic disorders are involved in childhood illnesses such as ADD and Autism, and our emotionality such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
My medical practice is based on groundbreaking, science-based, medicine.
I understand that the failure of our bodies begins as unrepaired injury or damage in our brains. And because I understand the way our cells, brains and nervous system are supposed to function, I can work to restore the body to equilibrium, thereby ending symptoms and maximizing health. Stem cell regeneration, stimulating the bodies' natural defenses, and rebalancing the intestinal tract and nervous system can reverse many disease processes and put metabolic inflammation into remission.

Get Your anabolic ciklus ovdje
Odaberite vaš cilj ispod za prilagođene ciklus i stoga preporuke.
Oba Clenbuterol and Trenbolone are some of the most notoriously used drugs in the world of bodybuilding.
Clenbuterol is a beta-adrenergic agonist that is used to stimulate fat loss and to boost energy levels whilst dieting.
Trenbolone, which normally used beef up cattle, is the prime anabolic steroid that is responsible for the giant and lean bodies on professional bodybuilding stages.
While these drugs are among the best in their class, they are also some of the most dangerous drugs used in the bodybuilding scene.
Both of these drugs have fat burning effects so many will stack both in order to maximize fat loss while maintaining muscle mass.
While it is indeed a risky stack since both drugs can cause heart muscle enlargement, it can be done correctly for short-term cycles. Kupi Clenbutrol online ovdje.
Mast gubitak
Prije treninga
Performans kakve
Tablica sadržaja
zapravo, the combination of these two drugs is very common amongst professional bodybuilders that need to tone up in a short period of time.
Trenbolone — If you are looking for a clean bulk, bodybuilders have been known to take 500mg/week of Trenbolone for quick and linear gains.
But if your are stacking Clen with Tren, we don't recommend dosages this high.
This is because Tren can do a number on your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and these effects will just be compounded with the addition of Clenbuterol.
If you are only looking to maintain mass while going on a contest preparation diet, 250mg/week is sufficient.
Whether you like it your not, you will need to take at least a bare minimum amount of testosterone in order for your cycle to go smoothly.
A moderate Trenbolone cycle of 200-350 mg/week should be accommodated with around 250mg/week of testosterone.
Taking Trenbolone without any accompanying testosterone may shut off your natural production and even lead to the production of gynecomastia.
Klenbuterol – 40mcg of Clenbuterol per day is a safe dosage to start with.
If you tolerate the drug well, slowly adding 20mcg to your daily dosage is a safe way to test your tolerance. Općenito, a dosage over 140mcg per day is getting into the danger zone.
Considering that Trenbolone is also risky for your heart health, you should stick to lower dosages of Clen during your cycle.
You should stop using this drug after two weeks and give your body at least an additional two weeks to recover before considering another Clenbuterol cycle.
If you intend to continuously cycle the drug on a long-term basis, avoid using more than 16-weeks during a 1 year period.
Trenbolone is only an injectable steroid that comes in either acetate or enanthate esters.
Even though enanthate is superior, acetate is more commonly used since it is easier to obtain and usually cheaper.
Oral Trenbolone is not very common and is not desired since it has high liver toxicity.
Oral versions are also highly inefficient in comparison to injectable steroids. Od 1960-ih, it had been manufactured under names like Finajet or Parabolan.
Od 1997, it had been discontinued for human use but it is still widely used in the veterinarian market.
Iz tog razloga, most of the stuff on the market is produced in underground laboratories and cannot be purchased in overseas pharmacies.
Finaplex is Trenbolone produced as cattle implants but some steroid users have refined it into injectable form to be used as a steroid cycle.
It is a powerful steroid that is used for either bulking or cutting and it even increases one's metabolism to give leaner muscular gains.
Side effects may include balding, an increase in LDL cholesterol, visoki krvni tlak, toksičnost jetre, otkucaji srca, noćno znojenje, nesanica, i anksioznost.
Clenbuterol is a bronchodilator that was designed to treat asthma patients.
To nije anabolički steroid, even though some information has been circulating that it is.
It is not an FDA approved drug but it is used for veterinarian usage or as medicine in some countries outside of the United States.
It is one of the most popular drugs that is purchased online through the black market.
While it has originally been used by mostly bodybuilders or professional athletes, regular people have purchased it for their own fat loss needs.
Clenbuterol is mostly taken in pill form but oral liquids and injectable versions are also possible to find. It speeds up fat loss by giving your body a thermogenic effect by stimulating your beta-2 receptors.
naravno, the effects on fat loss are only marginal and the user will need to have a strict diet to make this cycle worth it.
Since it is a stimulant, the user may also utilize it for energy to push harder in the gym or during cardio sessions.
Međutim, this drug has been known to cause muscle cramps and this can actually interfere with a user's workout routine.
Nuspojave mogu uključivati:
Ukupni, this combination is a powerful one in order for a bodybuilder to get ready for a competition.
Trenbolone is the absolute best mass builder for both bulking and cutting. Clenbuterol is a great short-term solution to be used with a steroid cycle in order to boost fat loss potential.
The user should be cautious with the combination of side effects since there are several that overlap.
Excessive dosages or long-term use should be avoided as it can quickly become lethal with both drugs' effects on the cardiac system.Anadrol Clenbuterol stogAnavar Clen ciklusKlenbuterol HGHKlenbuterol Nolvadex Tamoxifen Clomid Arimidex ProvironKlenbuterol hrpeKlenbuterol T3 Cytomel stogClenbuterol taurin kalijaClenbuterol testosteronaClenbuterol TrenboloneKlenbuterol Winstrol stogClenbuterol YohimbineClen Stano stogClen vs. WinstrolDeca Durabolin klenbuterolDianabol klenbuterol

Designed in fun, vivacious patterns and colors sure to wake up even the sleepiest of morning fitness buffs, BodyRock Sport is a feast for the eyes and supports you while you bring your personal fitness best. Kelly, who grew up a self-described tomboy outrunning her older brother Mike in Southern California, was inspired to create the BodyRock Sport line to avoid humdrum sports bras that made her feel like she was wearing prison wear. She created designs she coined "Style-wear" to satisfy women's hunger for fashion and fitness. Like Kelly herself, the BodyRock Sport customer works hard and plays hard. With this in mind, Kelly drew from her personal fitness experiences to enhance the functionality of her designs with cutting-edge technical style. BodyRock Sport features include an inner bra structure for optimal support, waterproof pockets, iPod pockets, side and front zippers for easy removal, tagless labels for comfort, and Swarovski crystals and studs for stylish bling. BodyRock Sport aims to empower women to love the skin they're in, with specific styles named after real or mystical women who inspire though their confidence, energy, passion, style, and spirituality. In other words, this ain't your average workout wear, which is why I wanted to offer it on Pink Slip at a time when we all have fitness on the brain. Motivation is a big part of achieving results in our fitness regimen and I think the pieces from BodyRock Sport do a great job of making a woman feel energized with bright colors and vivid patterns that are anything but boring. In BodyRock Sport, you will feel sassy and strong. As Kelly might say, you'll glow.

In the world of fashion, there are designers and then there are innovators. I consider Laura Mehlinger to be firmly entrenched in the latter category. The Harvard graduate has brought a fresh perspective to glamorous lingerie with her Lola Haze brand, which defies categorization. Her retro-inspired intimates include camisoles and rompers that can easily be layered under ready-to-wear pieces for ensembles that take a woman from daywear into evening looks. Inspired by the title character in the classic novel Lolita, Laura's designs reimagine classic lingerie silhouettes with a thoroughly modern design aesthetic that combines rich fabrications in unexpected ways that are both romantic and edgy. Her customer looks feminine and glamorous in dainty chemises, slips and camisoles paired with panty styles designed to flatter the wearer in fresh ways. Lola Haze features luxurious fabrics such as silk charmeuse, combined with unique applications of lace or mesh, in designs that make a woman feel like a siren. Black, sheers and sheen are common themes throughout the collection. If you want to sparkle and seduce, Lola Haze is a brand for you. I recently caught up with the globe-trotting Laura to get some insight into what motivates her design process for Lola Haze and she gave me a sneak peek into what her fans can expect in the Spring/Summer collection.
Margo Andros: Laura, Lola Haze is truly unique in the market. What inspired you to create the brand?
Laura Mehlinger: I've wanted to design lingerie since probably before that was a reasonable interest. When I was a child, I taught myself garment construction and how to draw and design, and then decided to focus on another love, English literature, at Harvard. While there, I combined my love of fashion with academics and created a line of womenswear—which was a bit unconventional on that campus. After university, I designed womenswear for the Gap before starting Lola Haze. I named Lola Haze after the title character in the novel Lolita, which I wrote my thesis about and which continues to intrigue and inspire me.
Margo: How would you describe your design aesthetic?
Laura: I find quirkiness—visual and otherwise—inspiring and am driven in my designing by the idea of surprise. I think true style is the ability to mold juxtapositions: elegance and kitsch, innocence and seduction, playfulness and sophistication.
Margo: Who is the Lola Haze customer?
Laura: I design not for one particular customer, but for any woman who is playful, confident, loves the transformative power of clothing, and dresses for herself. I love lingerie because it dances between public and private domains. It can be a woman's own secret that makes her feel special or something beautiful for display. She can wear Lola Haze as innerwear, loungewear, or outerwear.
Margo: What are your favorite fabrics and colors?
Laura: I love to color block and mix fabrics, often silk charmeuse or chiffon with stretch lace or mesh. This creates more visual and textural interest, I think, and has the additional design benefit of feeling luxurious while offering exceptional fit and comfort. I also focus on artisanal hand-crafted elements to make a garment truly special, like individually hand-dyed items and hand-painted details. Lola Haze is designed and produced with love in New York City.
Margo: What direction is Lola Haze taking with its 2013 Collection?
Laura: When I was designing Lola Haze's Spring / Summer 2013 collection I traveled from New York City to Tokyo. In both places I found myself staring at peoples' clothes on the street. My neck was exhausted by whipping from left to right as every outfit crossed my field of vision.
In Tokyo, more than New York, each girl was devoted from head to toe to a single fashion identity, though these identity groups were discrete and varied. So a funny visual thing would happen. In one visual field, I might see a neo punk girl, a Harajuku girl, and a new romantic girl brushing past each other. Together, they created a sort of style pointillism in which each person's style expression contributed one pixel to a greater picture of a complex, vibrant city.
"The City," Lola Haze's Spring / Summer 2013 collection, takes its inspiration from the streets of two great cities, New York and Tokyo. I wanted to capture a variety of bold styles and unify them with hallmarks of Lola Haze's design. Throughout the collection are body-revealing cut-outs, color-blocking, and pattern mixing.
The Philanthropist Group, opulent with mixed patterns of black lace, ivory silk and gold chains, represents a modern take on classic eveningwear. The Swagger Chemise and Teddy demand attention with their body-con silhouettes and architectural cutouts between the starkly contrasting black, white, and gold fabrics.
The Bomb Group includes a robe, chemise, teddy, bralette and thong. Its electric fuchsia, turquoise, ivory and lime bodies, punctuated with silver or black geometric elastic, were inspired by the layered colors and bold individualism of New York's graffiti walls. The City Nights Chemise and Romper, made of color-blocked silk chiffon, are flirty, playful, and light as the air of a city summer night.
Margo: It all sounds very modern and cool. I can't wait to see it. Thanks for the scoop on the upcoming season.
Laura: My pleasure, Margo. Thanks to you, too!
Ladies, you don't need to wait until spring to stock up on some Lola Haze. We have a great selection of styles on ThePinkSlip.com that will make you look thoroughly glamorous and hip. Here are some of my favorites!

Julie, The house is green. Green is a receding color. It gives the impression that it's farther away than what surrounds it. I just made another post, answering Rob, that talks about the same thing: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=69802.msg553598#newWith color ya gotta be careful or you'll get all sorts of effects you didn't expect.
There may be something other than color at work here.Edit...the mono image is a simple Desaturate of the color image.And Michael has a good introduction to color issues right here on LuLa!
Thanks Bill for the link to Michael's article. It was really interesting. I still however don't understand why the buildings look like they are at completely different angles and leaning in different positions. :-)Julie
Of course you don't Julie, and nobody else has a clue either. I long ago gave up trying to rationalise or understand everything that goes down in this world. Things happen without any logical explanation; you are up one day and down he next; it's the nature of the beast. Better to accept and just go with your internal flow, ignoring what you can't fix or change. It's the only route that's starting to make sense to me late in life. Not wanting to divert this in any manner, but it brings me to consider my local friend here who's continuing with his tobacco and booze even though he's got cancer of the mouth. Is he right or is he wrong? Ultimately, the answer is his to understand, not mine nor anyone else's to propose.However, the reason why you see this effect with the two images is this:Ciao -Rob C..... so in actual fact... I should just enjoy having my head played with... :-) and don't even think about asking why. I like that idea!!Julie
I found it fascinating in the images below that I thought they seemed to be in a different position and at different angles
Not to me.........only tonal density (as i would expect the color to translate) seems different.
Jule,I see very clearly what you are seeing but I can't for the life of me explain it.
oh well.. must just be only my head .... LOL
The perspective looks the same to me, too. But then I'm "color-blind" (common garden variety so-called Red-Green version), so my eyes naturally use luminance as the first source of information and color second. The green house looks lighter than the gray one, but otherwise the same.So I wonder: Kirk and Ray -- you don't have deficient color vision, too, do you?
Not aware of any difficiencies in my color vision, Eric. The B&W image as presented by Julie has deeper shadows than the color version, which seems to contribute in some small way to a perception of some slight difference in angles. The corrected B&W image from Bill t results in both images looking identical with regard to angles and perspective, although the mood created by the two images is slightly different. B&W tends to be more sombre. Color more cheerful.ps. On second thoughts and third impressions, I do see a slight difference in the appearance of a vertical angle. The nearest vertical corner of the house, immediately above the printed sign on the fence, seems to be very slightly less forward leaning in the color version. In the B&W version, the top of that corner where the fenced balcony is, gives the impression of being slightly closer to the viewer, as though the corner of the house is leaning slightly more towards the viewer.

Consider the sentence:
You didn't leave the dog in the car, did you?
In spoken English, this statement may be given with a rising intonation or a falling one. If the former, it suggests that leaving the dog in the car is a bad thing, and might even suggest incredulity and consternation on the part of the person asking.
In the latter case, when the sentence ends with a falling intonation, the speaker probably believes that the dog should have been left in the car, and that the person being addressed fell short. It amounts to an accusation.
Now, given that question tags are always questions, it seems they ought to be punctuated with a question mark. But in written form, especially dialogue, it feels to me that question tags meant to be spoken with a falling intonation might get by with just a period:
You didn't leave the dog in the car, did you.
I've tried Web searches but haven't gotten close to a set of search terms that point me toward an appropriate source. Anybody know of a definitive answer to this question?
Further Reflection
One of the reasons I ask this is that any declarative statement may be changed into a question by means of a rising intonation at the end.
You left the dog in the car.
becomes a question if your voice modulates upward at the end. In written English, it is customary to show that by means of a question mark:
You left the dog in the car?
I include this information because @FumbleFingers asserts that "punctuation may not be used to differentiate [someone's] two intonations." Yet clearly there are cases in which punctuation is used in precisely that way (though in this case involving the opposite modulation from what I'm suggesting). So I wonder if it might not be possible to move the needle in the other direction.
If not, why not?
Note: I almost accepted my own answer to this question, but retracted it. If someone comes up with a better one I'll certainly consider awarding that one the checkmark. I think this question touches on an important concept, despite the scant attention it has received.

Marine Major Aric "Walleye" Liberman was uncharacteristically modest for a Navy SEAL turned fighter pilot. He had just landed an F-35--one of the 2,457 jets the Pentagon plans to buy for $400 billion, making it the costliest weapons program in human history--at its initial operational base late last year. Amid celebratory hoopla, he declined photographers' requests to give a thumbs-up for the cameras that sunny day in Yuma, Ariz. "No, no, no," he demurred with a smile.
Liberman's reticence was understandable. For while the Marines hailed his arrival as a sign that their initial F-35 squadron is now operational, there's one sticking point. "It's an operational squadron," a Marine spokesman said. "The aircraft is not operational."
The F-35, designed as the U.S. military's lethal hunter for 21st century skies, has become the hunted, a poster child for Pentagon profligacy in a new era of tightening budgets. Instead of the stars and stripes of the U.S. Air Force emblazoned on its fuselage, it might as well have a bull's-eye. Its pilots' helmets are plagued with problems, it hasn't yet dropped or fired weapons, and the software it requires to go to war remains on the drawing board.
That's why when Liberman landed his F-35 before an appreciative crowd, including home-state Senator John McCain, he didn't demonstrate its most amazing capability: landing like a helicopter using its precision-cast titanium thrust-vectoring nozzle. That trick remains reserved for test pilots, not operational plane drivers like him.
The price tag, meanwhile, has nearly doubled since 2001, to $396 billion. Production delays have forced the Air Force and Navy to spend at least $5 billion to extend the lives of existing planes. The Marine Corps--the cheapest service, save for its love of costly jump jets (which take off and land almost vertically) for its pet aircraft carriers--have spent $180 million on 74 used British AV-8 jets for spare parts to keep their Reagan-era Harriers flying until their version of the F-35 truly comes online. Allied governments are increasingly weighing alternatives to the F-35.
But the accounting is about to get even worse as concern over spending on the F-35 threatens other defense programs. On March 1, if lawmakers cannot reach a new budget deal, the Pentagon faces more than $500 billion in spending cuts in the form of sequestration, which translates into a 10% cut in projected budgets over the coming decade. Two years ago, the White House predicted that those cuts would be so onerous to defense-hawk Republicans that they would never happen. But the GOP is now split, with a growing number of members who are more concerned about the deficit than defense.
"We are spending maybe 45% of the world's budget on defense. If we drop to 42% or 43%, would we be suddenly in danger of some kind of invasion?" asked Representative Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican and part of a new breed of deficit hawks who talk of spending as a bigger threat than war. "We're bankrupting our country, and it's going to put us in danger."

Students create new maps with 'universal design' to expand access
In a new set of way-finding maps, planters at the University of Colorado Boulder are more than decorative containers. The concrete vessels serve as directional prompts for people to navigate central campus.
The bronze buffalo statue near Folsom Field is another cue used in the online maps, as well as references like "exhaust fan at 10 o'clock" to guide those who use their sense of sound to move about.
Developed in part by Jarad Christianson, a senior in environmental design, the maps are "universally designed" and provide step-by-step routes in text and audio formats based on beginning and end points set by the user. Universal design is the design of spaces and tools such as the Internet to be used by people with all types of cognitive and physical abilities.
"We need to include all types of abilities across the board because everybody should have a fair shot at experiencing what's on campus," said Christianson, who navigated campus on crutches a couple of years ago while recovering from an injury.
The way-finding maps include directions for newcomers and visitors, cane travelers and guide dog users, and people with wheels such as wheelchairs, strollers and rolling luggage.
Christianson's part in creating the maps included scouting campus and creating 74 routes between classroom buildings and other locations. The project, led by CU-Boulder's Disability Services, was part of a research assistantship in environmental design for Christianson. Students in a technical writing class, as well as a student advisory committee, map testers and staff from several administrative offices also were involved.
Christianson, who says he'd like to go into architectural practice after graduation, says the project has changed his perspective.
"Being involved in viewing the built world and the natural environment from different perspectives has been really valuable in the way I think about design -- visually, acoustically and with regard to textures," he said.
Over the next two years, more projects like Christianson's will be integrated into various CU-Boulder academic fields and coursework. Robert Boswell, vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement and a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology, is leading an interdisciplinary team that recently received a $40,000, two-year grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for universal design curriculum integration.
Other team members include Meredith Banasiak, senior instructor of environmental design; Howard Kramer, lecturer on universal design for digital media; Matthew Jelacic, assistant professor of architecture; Clayton Lewis, professor of computer science; Michael Lightner, chair and professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering; and Melinda Piket-May, associate professor of electrical, computer and energy engineering.
"This grant supports our commitment to enhance universal design across a variety of disciplines," Banasiak said. "The enhancements can be made at many levels fostering inclusion as an aspect of multiculturalism and diversity on campus."
Not only will strengthening universal design make the CU-Boulder campus more inclusive, it will impact communities and help graduates in their careers, according to the grant recipients.
"As part of the campus's Flagship 2030 initiatives, our students and faculty are engaging more in the communities around them," Jelacic said. "As we branch out from the university, going into public schools and working with senior citizens and other populations, having universal design knowledge will help our students be more effective as they go out and find jobs."

OK, I use youtube just for listening music and watching videos. I don't upload, and I don't comment. Sometimes I do like some videos/comments.
But today I accessed my channel and I saw like 20 comments from my account.

"Yes i mean it. this is really fantastic. and i can tell u , really lucky that i registered and got my dream fresh products from maybelline for nothing :). its worth a try here => "
Any ides on how to prevent this in future, or report. Any idea is appreciated :)

It's disappointing that games Medal of Honor and Six Days in Fallujah get punished for authenticity, yet things like Heavy Fire: Afghanistan are allowed to exist. We may never see that tasteful, yet horrifying depiction of Operation Iraqi Freedom we were hoping for, but an insensitive rail-shooter set in modern-day Afghanistan is just as good -- right?
So, if you've just been itching to violently mow down countless Middle Easterners without prejudice, then look no further. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan is due out in November for PlayStation 3, Wii, and PC for the low, low price of $20. Given the sensitive subject matter, it'll be a wonder if this isn't all over Fox News in a couple weeks as another example of how videogames are degrading the moral fabric of our society.
