I would have liked to see this one with crisp printing, the artist went for a lot of black panels and it being washed out is just a pity. Damn cheap printing!
I like the pointlessness of the witch in the story. There's no revenge, she was never wronged, she's just doing it for her own amusement. And the thing is -- all this stuff might have happened anyway; she might not be doing anything except giving the poor sap a look into the future.
I doubt the writer wrote it this way, but I like to think that is the point!

Brian is right, there's no rhyme or reason. It's just life. But if Bill hadn't put the glasses on and seen his wife's death, he wouldn't have took the taxi that actually killed her. So the old lady IS evil, in a way.
In comics, the ability of seeing the future is never as good as it seems. Guess the moral is "don't mess with fate", even though you are well intentioned.
I was a little puzzled when the wifw asked Bill if he was to come home early. Suspicious mind...
It is probably a pure coincidence, but the name "Bill Bevan" made me think of the funny guy from Mack Sennett's comedies I watched as a kid (on TV, not in theatres...)

If the witch saw her own future, could she change it? The idea of knowing the future brings up the concept of freedom of will. If you can change the future then you really didn't know the real future, but just a probability. But if you cannot change it, then your behavior is completely deterministic, you have no freedom of will. It's the paradox of a God who is simultaneously all-knowing and all-powerful. If God knows everything then He would know all his future decisions. If He is all-powerful then He should be able to change his mind. But if He changes His mind then he didn't really know the actual future. Therefore, either God is all-knowing but can't change His own future behavior—He has no freedom of will—or He is all-powerful but doesn't know the actual future (but could know probabilities).

@Mestiere. Your comment is really interesting. While you and Brian see the old lady as a "witch" (as Billy Bevan says, but he's just speculating), I was more inclined to see her as an embodiment of Fate (or Doom), and the spectacles as a representation of man's useless struggle to foresee and change it. The splash panel shows the old lady/Fate like a puppeteer, and unfortunately calls her "witch". Anyway, she was the one who gave Bill the glasses (or gave him the choice to use them or not). Why? Part of the charm of these stories, I think, is that we don't really know the motivations. Like Peter Cushing in "From Beyond the Grave": he keeps on selling objects that lead buyers to their doom (deserved in this case), but we don't know why, or who he really is. In the end he just says "would YOU like to come to my shop?", like the old Lady.
On God: you made a good point. Being all-powerful and all-knowing at the same time is clearly unbearable, so He went mad and created this crazy world. Or, He may be a Stochastic God.

OK, what would I do if I had a pair of glasses like that? Lets just say that my enemies would be very few in number, (very few breathing for long.)
What a minute Karswell, where did You get those glasses in your blog post image? Stop Staring At Me!!!!!
I have read several comic stories where magical/supernatural glasses play a part in the story and in the end it is the one who wears the glasses that gets his comeuppance. In this story there were two victims, the guy who wore the glasses and his wife. It is a good tale, though the ending would have been more satisfying if the guy or his wife were mean, selfish, ignorant jerks, etc. instead it is two relatively innocent people suffering a terrible fate with no rhyme or reason. Its a good tale that could have been presented on The Outer Limits or Twilight Zone with the warning 'there are some things man is not meant to know' or something like that.

There's one small thing I'm confused about. In the middle of Page Three it looks like Bill's lines and Grace's lines are accidentally in the same word balloon. Or am I just mixing up what ONE of them is saying?

He turned to video games to pass the time and fell in love with a new sport.
"I was a boxer my whole life," Anglin said. "I got hurt and played Tiger Woods golf one day on Xbox and thought it would be really fun. So I went out and played [on an actual course] and kind of got good at it quick."
So good, in fact, that Anglin recently placed fifth in the annual Broward County Amateur Men's Golf Tournament at Jacaranda Golf Club in Plantation. His three-day 221 (74-72-75) was just four shots off the pace set by Fort Lauderdale's Jeffrey Walker.
"This is what I do," said Anglin, who started playing golf just over three years ago. He said he shoots in the 50s in the video game and is a 4-handicap in real life.
This was the sixth tournament appearance for Anglin, who works at Heron Bay and spends a lot of time on the course. He qualified for the Florida Open and made the cut and competed in the Florida Mid-Amateur and made it to match play.
"I had never picked up a club before," Anglin said. "I really love this. I never stop watching The Golf Channel now. From boxing my whole life, I never had a chance to play golf. It has changed my whole life."
Danny Howard, head golf pro at Jacaranda, said attendance was up about 20 percent this year. There were 64 golfers in the tournament, and he hopes for a full field of 120 next year.
"It gives us a chance to show off our course, the facility and how nice it is," said Howard, whose club has hosted the tournament since 1999. "It also gives us an opportunity to support amateur golf in the county and to put Jacaranda on the map in Broward County golf."
Anglin said boxing and golf are vastly different.
"The biggest difference was when I was in a boxing ring, it was always about reaction, always self defense, almost instinctive," Anglin said. "In golf, you have this little golf ball ... and you have to make everything in your body work to make it go where you want it to go. I visualize more in golf now than I did in boxing."
Anglin suffered his share of injuries. He had a herniated lower disc along with all the broken hands.
"I just got overwhelmed and tired of boxing," Anglin said. "I was playing golf a little bit while I was boxing, and I found that I loved golf more. I just felt it was for me."

Let's look in depth at one year's change in rape statistics in Camden. In 1999, the Metropolitan police recorded 72 reports of rape. In 2000, the number was 88. The Met numbers are available to the public so can't be disputed. And those numbers went up. This much the Lilith report got right. But is that all there is to the story?
The problem with numbers on their own is they don't say anything about context. The number may rise from year to year, but if the population is going up as well, the rate might not be changing at all.
Imagine, for instance, if a paper claimed London has 1000% more Chinese restaurants than it did 40 years ago, but didn't report the relative populations for those years. You wouldn't think much of the numbers. Of course the raw number would have gone up - the population got a lot bigger from 1970 to 2010. Without context, the numbers don't mean very much.
When the population grows, you have to take that change into account. What you need is not just the raw number of crimes reported, but also the population of the area from one year to the next. This is used to calculate not the number of crimes, but the rate. Rate and number are two different things, but many people (even those who should know better) use them interchangeably, and this creates confusion.
You don't have to be a London native (or even a Daily Mail reader) to know the population is going up. It's on the rise in Camden. But is it going up enough to make the rate of rapes look different from the number? Let's see.
Whenever numbers of incidents are reported, they should be used to calculate the rate of occurrence. This gives you an estimate of how many times the crime occurred per 100,000 population. So let's look at those rape numbers again. For the year 1999, we have 72 rapes reported in Camden and - according to National Statistics - a population of 195,700 people.
To determine how many rapes occurred per 100,000 residents, we divide the number of rapes by the total population. Then we multiply by 100,000:
This tells us that in 1999, there were 36.8 reported rapes for every 100,000 residents of Camden. Performing the same rate calculation for 2000, when the population was 202,800 and the number of rapes 88, gives us a rate of 43.4.
Mathematically calculating the change in rate from one year to the next gives us the percent change, be it a rise or a fall. The change in rate from 1999 to 2000, or the change from 36.8 to 43.4, is 17.9%.
That is considerably different from 50%. So the rate (which is what counts) of rapes in Camden did not go up by 50% after the lap-dancing clubs opened. If you include the even more modest increases in 2001 and 2002, you still come up with a result that is nowhere close to the Lilith report's original claim. The combined change from 1999 to 2002 is a rate increase of 26.9% - in other words, about half of what was originally reported.
So not only did the media take six years to correct the error in the Lilith report, they didn't even get it right the second time around. But the story doesn't end there...

This young lady is over the top!!!! I especially love #114. That photo will make an old man like me have bad thoughts and head for the heart meds!!! Mesmerized by the photo, moving in for a taste, and whammo!!!!, the screen does not taste good at all. Blech. Oh well, my thoughts on a gorgeous young lady. Back to my fantasies with #114. Wallpaper time.........
I love that top! Please do more shoots with it.
That shade of lipstick is like icing on the cake for Ambre it suits her perfectly.......................... Simply gorgeous!
Perfect 10 photo set all the way!!!
Ambre is just so beautiful. It doesn't seem to matter if she is nude or not; I love that sheer blouse, wow! Ambre makes every item of clothing look sensational.
Ah ha! Our Rose is back having worked out until she's ripped and ready to tongue wrestle girlcrush into submission just as soon as she can get girlcrush away from the pack and into a dark corner. And Ambre is so beautiful that she inspires those kind of thoughts in Rose espically the lovely popka and great legs. Always gotta check the popka, it has some great attachments. The photography is great, espically the way Albert Varin uses Ambre's legs to break up the expanses of white,I agree she should keep the stockings, she has great legs Both get the 10 to infinity.
Oooohhh It's Ambre in lacy black panties and matching stockings... be still, my beating heart! Good heavens, she's so sexy it's just plain ridiculous, especially when she butterflies those pink labia of hers.
Thanks for this wonderful set, Albert, and thanks for not being in a hurry to strip those sexy panties off Ambre!
Ambre is a special treat. This could have easily been a 10 set if the panties had come off sooner but I am not complaining, just offering a critique.
Ha ha! And I gave it a 10 for precisely the same reason you denied it a 10! LOL I guess we cancel each other out, don't we... (;
That's funny. It's like when my wife and I vote for president and vote for different parties. One of us probably should not vote to avoid the cancellation effect.
Ambre is a really special girl - she has that elusive je ne sais quoi that is more than just prettiness. She looks fun, flirty and irresistible :-)
...say, Rose, I have a silly question for you and any other female member who cares to comment. Is this the way all girls react to reading girly magazines, or is it only Albert Varin girls who have this sexy reaction? (;
A great girl. Absolutely perfect and stunning. The white skin and red hair. Incredibly erotic. But most eroticly is the sensational big pussy. The labia are so juicy, pink and perfectly folded. For Kissing
Ambre is a very ,very sexy girl.Great photoshoot 10 to both.Red Hair ,Black Stockings and crinkle cut labia .Ambre is my star of the day.

Wireless wins wider role
Wireless is poised for a big breakthrough in plant operations because of its ease of use, safety and potential for energy savings.
"The future only looks bright for wireless," says Rob Brooks, process control supervisor at PPG Industries, Lake Charles, La. "Wireless lets you put information into operators' hands that was not possible before. Wireless is a boon to safety, as well as operat-ing and maintenance procedures." Brooks' upbeat assessment is shared by many.
Implementation of wireless technology in the chemical indus-try remains spotty, but that will change if a July 2005 Chemical Processing poll is any indication. In it, 37% of the respondents said their site's interest in wireless was very high; 18% said high; and 15% said moderate.
"People are just experimenting with wireless point solu-tions," remarks Hesh Kagan, president of the Wireless Industrial Networking Alliance (WINA) and director of technology for new business development for Invensys Process Systems, Foxboro, Mass.
"Most installations we've seen are where companies are try-ing to prove to themselves that wireless works in their environ-ment," notes Steven Walker, engineering manager for Adalet Wireless, Cleveland.
Substantial savings
The main draw is economics, says an instrument control specialist at one multinational company's plant. "If you can put in wireless, you avoid the costs of wire, conduit and cable trays."
Energy savings are another strong incentive, says Jeff Yel-lets, senior segment marketing manager for Honeywell Process So-lutions, Phoenix. He notes, for instance, that steam-trap monitoring is the focus of a lot of current wireless activity.
Ten percent of the energy consumed in industries such as pet-rochemicals, steel, paper and glass could be saved by going to wireless, says Wayne Manges, wireless program manager at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Proponents say that wireless technology promises to do more than save money — it will revolutionize plant operations.
Broadening use
Right now, wireless gets the nod mostly for non-critical duties like level monitoring, especially at remote and off-site locations. How-ever, companies today are trying wireless for more than simple monitoring functions, notes Dave Kaufmann, director of business development for Honeywell. Some are starting to opt for wireless for keeping tabs on the custody transfer of raw materials across fence lines and even for critical services such as process control and safety. For instance, Yellets points out that plants are using wireless acoustic sensors downstream of relief valves and rupture disks. Kaufmann adds, "I was amazed at a customer using wireless for safety. They did all the necessary risk assessments. Wireless was best for them, they said."
The biggest applications remain tank level monitoring and communications between field devices, says Jake Millette, senior analyst with Venture Development Corporation, Natick, Mass. One appeal of wireless is that it can serve as a gateway, or relay, be-tween two different vendors' systems, such as a Siemens device and an Allen-Bradley controller, he notes.
Wireless input/output is hot in traditional systems, says Gra-ham Moss, president and founder of Elpro Technologies, Stafford, Australia. "We have customers that are buying programmable logic controllers (PLCs) purely as data-acquisition systems and then connecting the PLCs to wireless modems."
Real-world examples bear out these observations.
For instance, since 2002, CDR Pigments & Dispersions, Hol-land, Mich., has used three Elpro transceivers at its wastewater treatment plant. Maintenance coordinator Mark Nyboer notes the units transmit data on pH, dissolved oxygen, flow, temperature and control valve position from the wastewater treatment basin to the main building. Previously, CDR sent the data by overhead cables. But lightning storms regularly disabled wired transmitters. "We discussed putting the wires underground, [but] it was cheaper to do wireless," he adds, noting CDR saved $4,000 to $5,000.
Denver-based Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. just installed Emerson Process Management's wireless equipment at its 20-million-ft3/d natural-gas compres-sor station in Parachute, Colo. It uses a level transmitter on each of three storage tanks that contain an oil/water mixture created from condensate, as well as a differential-pressure transmitter and one temperature transmitter at the glycol contactor. Encana has already seen cost savings, says Brandon Robinson, instrument-and-electrical (I&E) technician.
At its nylon 6 plant in Freeport, Texas, BASF uses approxi-mately 70 transmitters from Accutech Instruments, a division of Hudson, Mass.-based Adaptive Instruments. The transmitters pro-vide data on the positions of various isolation valves to a ModBus master, says Tom Kleiner, senior I&E engineer. The master inter-prets data and then activates lights on what's called a mimic panel used by operators. "Wireless saved us from running wire for both power and signal to the valves," he says, estimating a savings of $50,000.
BP is investigating the use of six Adalet wireless temperature transmitters on a paraxylene crystallizer. "We've been looking for this technology for years. It's for use in hazardous locations," ex-plains research engineer Ronald Stefanski, based in Naperville, Ill. He believes that commercial use of the technology at a plant in the U.S. (Figure 1) will be the worldwide paraxylene business unit's first application of wireless. "We're excited about the potential."
Figure 1. A plant such as this one in Decatur, Ala., may inaugurate worldwide business unit's use of wireless in a hazardous location.
Emerging standards
To integrate different manufacturers' wireless devices, users want to standardize on a single wireless "cloud" — an umbrella or network — over their plants, Kaufmann says. "What we're hearing in the SP100 area [in ISA's SP100 Committee, Wireless Systems for Automation] is that some end-users say they're looking to put 20,000 wireless sensors at an installation." He explains that SP100 is developing a user-driven, protocol-neutral standard.

- Description
DetailsThe idea for this collection was to create Christmas ribbons that could be used individually or placed side by side for a larger project. The collection was designed using classic Christmas icons mixed with holly leaves intertwined around a ribbon. The end result is a collection of 12 beautiful designs. They are all unique and full of luxurious detail. Each design comes in three sizes. The smallest size is for the 5"x7" hoop, the medium size is for the 6"x10" hoop and the larger size is for the 7"x12" hoop. For our project we embroidered the designs on a pillows. The instructions for the pillow and the design colors are included in the tutorial.

Bravo's newest reality competition series, Top Chef Masters, features 24 world-renowned chefs facing off for charity. The series, which began last Wednesday, includes three Chicagoans: Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, Graham Elliot Bowles of graham elliot, and Art Smith of Table Fifty-Two.
Culinary artist Bowles will be making his first appearance on the series on Wednesday night, but if you want a revealing peek at him before then, check out the YouTube video the Tribune discovered.
But be warned, the video may give you more of a peek than you bargained for.
The comedic video "graham elliot: made in merka" features Graham Elliot Bowles and Merlin Verrier in cowboy-style shirts and hats, describing the origin of the high-price, high-quality restaurant's name: graham elliot.
Bowles explains, "[W]e always get asked if Graham Elliot is a person or a made up name, so we decided to poke fun at the idea of two guys named Graham and Elliot who open a restaurant together."
"Graham" does most of the talking in the 6-minute video, saying that his partner "Elliot" is responsible for "the bookin', the lookin', and the cookin'." The cowpoke-accented character insists that his food is made here in America—"M-E-R-K-A"—and is offended at the interviewer's suggestion that the dishes are influenced by "ethnic" flavors.
The end of the video really is the "end." Both "Graham" and "Elliot" walk away from the interview... in bum-revealing thongs.
"Regarding the scenes at the end, we figured what better way to end the film than to have the two main characters walk off pantless," said Bowles. "As for my a** and manhood being shown closeup at the end, I agree ... there is simply no excuse or reasoning behind it."
Click here for the exposing video, but again, it's probably NSFW. Unless you work at Graham Elliot.
Hopefully, Chef Bowles will put on some pants for his cable debut.
Matt Bartosik, editor of Off the Rocks' next issue, thinks Bowles could use some sun.

Sam Crowley has sea kayaked solo around Ireland, but he's still humbled every time he teaches the sport's most fundamental safety skill. The Marquette, Mich.-based instructor and massage therapist spends several weeks each summer teaching sea kayaking to people with disabilities. "The courage they have is incredible," says Crowley. "Here they are with a body that's a whole lot less able than mine and when it comes to doing the wet exit they're like, 'All right, let's go.' The reward for them is getting outside. It makes you appreciate just how huge that is for them."
Crowley and business partner, Nancy Uschold, also a veteran expedition paddler, run Sea Kayak Specialists in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. While they're certified to teach beginner to advanced sea kayak skills and instructor courses, they agree that teaching basic adaptive paddling courses is most rewarding. Uschold, a physical therapist, discovered sea kayaking about the same time she was working as a counselor at Marquette's Bay Cliff Health Camp for people with disabilities in the mid-1990s. She came across the American Canoe Association's adaptive paddling instructor certification, and since its inception as a camp activity in 1998, kayaking has been a favorite amongst Bay Cliff's youth and adult campers.
"I remember when we were running the pilot program and we had someone with multiple sclerosis who was in a wheelchair," says Uschold. "We got him on the water and he was just beaming. He said it was the first time he felt like everyone else. That was one of the first times we realized just how powerful this program could be."
Along the way, Crowley and Uschold have developed a business model that allows them to continue to embark on their own expeditions. Last year, Uschold stuck around Marquette while Crowley completed an expedition in British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands. This year, it's Uschold's turn to plan a four-week trip in Newfoundland. "Our commitment is to make sure there are programs there for the camp," says Crowley. "Our other goal has always been to be able to get out and take off on trips of our own." – Conor Mihell

AllTop From a Designer's POV
Apr 19
Business, Technology startup No Comments
I've been perusing the website AllTop, Guy Kawasaki's latest experiment, for over a week now just to try it out. It's a website that aggregates all sorts of news from the top websites on all topics. Think of it as a newstand or a "digital magazine rack". I thought I'd put in my two cents.
Most blog readers would probably say it's just a glorified RSS reader. I would agree, but there's a huge untapped market of people who don't use RSS or don't even know what it stands for. They just don't care and why should they? They just care about their news and the websites they go to. They just can't make the connection but that doesn't matter. What matters is that now, those readers can go to one place for all their content.
However, it seems to try to be something for everyone, which usually means it becomes nothing to everyone. What I would do if alltop was my little baby would be to change the way it looks in each section. A person who goes there for celebrity news is a totally different audience that one who goes there for startup news. Why treat them the same? They've already TOLD you who they are by what they choose to read. Since what they choose to read is so clearly demarcated, there's no reason that each section should all look the same. This is naturally also a great advertising opportunity since you know who's where, you can better target your ads. In the spirit of betas, I say, Guy, try it out and see what happens. If it doesn't work, you can always just go back to what you have.

German Court Halts Ratification of Lisbon Treaty
Breitbart (Link) - AFP (June 30, 2009)
Germany's top court on Tuesday said additional national legislation was needed before the EU's Lisbon Treaty could be ratified, further delaying its adoption across the 27-member bloc.
"The ratification document of the Federal Republic of Germany may not be adopted until the sufficient legal groundwork for parliamentary participation as foreseen in the constitution has been laid," the Federal Constitutional Court said.
"If one wanted to summarise this result, one could say: the constitution says 'yes' to the Lisbon Treaty but demands that parliament's right to participation be strengthened at the national level," the court said.
"The court is confident that the last barrier for adopting the ratification document will be cleared."
The treaty -- which aims to streamline decision-making in the EU and give the bloc a stronger voice on the world stage -- must be ratified by all 27 member states before it can come into force.
Although the treaty was approved by a large majority in both houses of the German parliament, the country's president Horst Koehler has held off on the final ratification step pending the judgement.
So far, 23 out of the 27 countries in the EU have ratified the document.
In a shock result that plunged the EU into an institutional crisis last June, Ireland voted 53-47 against the reforms in a referendum -- the only country to put the document to a popular vote.
Irish voters are poised to vote again -- probably in October -- after receiving guarantees the treaty would not affect issues close to Irish voters, such as military neutrality and abortion.
Following the surprise vote against the reforms, opinion has swung in favour of the Lisbon Treaty as the global financial crisis has hit the former "Celtic Tiger" economy harder than most.
The eurosceptic Czech and Polish presidents have said they will not sign the Treaty until Ireland has voted again. †

Henning Larsen Architects and a group consisting of turnkey contractor Züblin, landscape architect SLA and consulting engineers Henrik Larsen and Jørgen Nielsen, have won the competition to design and construct Egedal Town Hall and Health Centre.
The 18,000 sq m structure will be built in Egedal, North Zealand, will be the centre of the new, merged Egedal Municipality. Egedal Town Hall and Health Centre will be one of the first buildings in the new planned urban area around Egedal Station, where the Town Hall and Health Centre form part of the same entity. The Health Centre comprises training facilities for children and adults as well as rehabilitation facilities.
In their statement, the jury emphasised Henning Larsen Architects' proposal for 'introducing a significant quality level for the future buildings in the town of Egedal', and went on to say that, 'the jury considers the daylight to be used in an effective way in the proposal. In particular, the design of the skylight in the atrium effectively lets the daylight flow into and around the building, without unnecessary solar energy impacting the indoor climate in warm periods'.
"In the project, we have worked with the Municpality's vision for the new Town Hall - where care and service for the citizens and good working conditions for the employees have been essential focus areas. This contributes to ensuring a positive development of Egedal", says CEO Mette Kynne Frandsen, Henning Larsen Architects. "We have designed an open and welcoming building with attractive outdoor spaces, the square in front of the Town Hall and the Town Hall garden."
The various activities due to take place within the building will sprout up around the central square that leads through, into the large atrium. The town council hall, which is situated on the ground floor, can be opened up towards the central square – in connection with exhibitions, concerts or other special events. The Town Hall forms an important element in the development of the new urban district in Egedal. Therefore, the building is designed to stand out with a distinctive character in all development phases.
Egedal Town Hall and Health Centre also meets the requirements for the low-energy class 2020 certification, according to Danish building regulations, and is expected to be inaugurated in the end of 2014. Henning Larsen Architects has also designed Viborg Town Hall, which was inaugurated in 2011, and is Denmark's first sustainable town hall.

Medialabs Paris
The objectives are to:
- Enhance the young people's awareness and critical reflexion on dominant media discourses
- Develop their creative capacities and propose a platform for expression
- Encourage young people's engagement in active citizenship
In 2010, two medialabs were developed and launched in Paris, in collaboration with local partners.
Street Press
Street Press is an online, participatory media platform created in 2008 by young journalists in Paris. To enlarge its network of correspondents, Street Press runs a training program for young people to initiate them into the job of reporter.
In 2010, the Evens Foundation decided to support one of the Street Press' projects: La Rédaction du 19e, a local media facility in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, initiated in partnership with city administration's Conseil de la jeunesse. Trained and guided by StreetPress, the young reporters cover local life and topics that interest young people, with the ambition to create new links and interactions within the neighbourhood.
To continue this experience, the Evens foundation supports a new initiative developed by Street Press: Street School for young journalists. Read more about this project here.
Fais tourner l'info
Fais touner l'info is a newsroom and an online platform, created and managed by the young residents of the 20th arrondissement of Paris. Young people learn to analyze the media and produce their own reports and documentaries on current issues and topics concerning the social and political life. The recent research is dedicated to the French presidential elections. The youngsters have organized a series of open public debates with their peers in order to discuss together the different presidential programs and better understand the positions and opinions of their generation. A short documentary relating this experience will be released in 2012.
The project was initiated by the Evens foundation in collaboration with Plus Loin, a local non-formal learning structure. In 2010, the project was supported by ARCADI (Établissement public de coopération culturelle, Île de France).

Coastal Scents has their nail polish marked down as well, from $3.95 to $2.95 and mineral makeup at 40% off.
Cherry Culture has many nail polish brands on sale including L.A. Colors, & L.A. Girl, which of course aren't expensive brands but savings can add up.
Ulta has their Salon Formula Nail Lacquer priced at $6.00 each but if you buy two, you get TWO free which makes them $3.00 each.
Sally Beauty has Nina Ultra Pro Nail Lacquer marked down from $3.99.29 to $3.79.
It must be a trend because prices were a bit higher on nail polish & some frankening supplies like Nailite's empty bottles that are up $.05.
Pink Points: Decidedly pink but not in a flashy kind of way. Every so slightly subdued with mauvy blue. Hex size is .008.
Focus Blue: A true blue glitter. Hex size is .008.
Adam & Eve: Midtoned purple (lavender?) with sparks of blue and pink. An iridescent mish-mashup of midrange tones.
Luminosity: Holographic glitter at its most microfine, .002 hex size. So fine it is almost like a dust of holographic silver.

Equity prices crawl upKARACHI, April 5: Stocks closed the last trading session of the week also in the positive, gaining 22.59 points to 18,636.03 points on Friday.
Bulls maintained their hold in most of the sectors, which dealers attributed mainly to the euphoria over the upcoming financial results. Investors were expecting healthy profit and payouts from companies, particularly from the textile and cement companies.
The gains on Friday, however, were muted as many investors went into profit-taking following a week of substantial rise in the benchmark.
Analysts said that the impact of Unilever delisting in terms of index points and incremental liquidity had buoyed sentiments all through the week. On Friday, investors were also keeping an eye on the SBP Monetary Policy, which is due to be announced on April 11.
The figures of local and foreign investment released by the National Clearing Company of Pakistan showed that after several days of inflow into the equity market, foreign investors sold stocks worth $1.0 million on Friday.
During the week, foreigners had picked up stocks worth $5.7 million. Local participants were mostly on the 'buy' side.
Companies bought shares worth $0.2 million, banks were buyers of shares valued at $0.36 million and mutual funds also poured $1.06 million in the equity market.
Zulqarnain Khan of brokerage Next Capital commented that the investors remained on the sidelines ahead of the week end and preferred to take profit. The vacant position of the finance minister is also being watched by the investors, very closely.
There was slight concern over the foreign exchange reserves of the country, which were under pressure due to looming debt payments, he said.
Samar Iqbal, manager equity Sales at Topline Securities, stated that the KSE benchmark-index maintained the 18,600-mark with low volumes.
Renewed buying interest was seen in telecom sector amid hope of better March earnings. Major activity remained in mid cap stocks.
The KSE-100 index oscillated between the high at 18,718 points and low at 18,589 points; the volatility providing opportunity to punters to engage in short term trading in small and mid-tier stocks.
The market capitalisation based KSE-30 index was up by 25.38 points to 14,546.19 points. Turnover in terms of volume stood at 207 million shares, down by 16 per cent over the earlier day's trading in 246 million shares.
Trading value declined by 21 per cent to Rs6.595 billion on Friday, from Rs8.376 billion the previous day. Market capitalisation saw addition of Rs3 billion to Rs4.587 trillion, from Rs4.584 trillion.
The highest gainers for the day were Bata (Pakistan) up by Rs72.79 to Rs1,528.74 and Colgate Palmolive up by Rs60 to Rs2,000.
On the declining side, Unilever Food lost Rs157.51 to Rs4,427 and Siemens Pakistan was lower by Rs9.75 to Rs595.25.
Among the 361 stocks that came up for trading on Friday, 162 were gainers, 182 losers and 16 remained unchanged.
The top-10 volume leaders were BankIslami Pakistan up by 36 paisa to Rs6.66 on 19m shares, PTCL higher by 57 paisa to Rs21.23 on 16m shares, Engro Polymer declined by five paisa to Rs11.58 on 16m shares, Maple Leaf Cement slumped by 70 paisa to Rs18.67 on 14m shares and Telecard Limited was up by 23 paisa to Rs6.10 on 11m shares.
TRG Pakistan added 34 paisa to Rs7.74 on 10m shares, Jah Sidd Co hit the 'upper circuit' with gain of Re1 to Rs13.30 on 9m shares, price of share in Engro Foods increased by 51 paisa to Rs144.69 on 8m shares, Fauji Cement was down by 4 paisa to Rs8.60 on 7m shares and Engro Corporation plunged by Rs1.68 to Rs134.07 on 7m shares.
Earning hopes keep the ball rolling for Pakistan stocks: KARACHI: Hopes of lucrative earnings ahead of corporate results kept the ball rolling at Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) here on the rollover day, Geo News reported.
The benchmark KSE-100 Index scored 22.59 positive points, to close at 18,636.03 points, which translates to a gain of 0.12 percent.
By the time the closing bell chimed, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd was up 2.47 percent to Rs21.17 rupees, whereas Bank Islami Pakistan Ltd rose 6.35 percent to Rs6.70.
Company News:MoU for safety in cement industry: ISLAMABAD, April 5: All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) signed an MOU with Lafarge Pakistan Limited to upgrade cements plants across Pakistan to international health and safety standards.
Following the Baldia Town factor fire, a number of sectors took initiatives to protect workers and installations from such disasters.
According to the MoU, Lafarge would train, create awareness and share its standards on health and safety with other cement manufactures.
CEO Lafarge Pakistan Amr Reda said that the cement industry operated in an environment with multiple types of hazards.
We have made it a priority to ensure the safety of all people, working directly and indirectly, within the cement sector, he added.
The APCMA welcomed the initiative and encouraged all its members to not only study and apply the safety standards but take initiatives to share the best practices across their organisations.
Though all the cement plants observe safety measures but the industry does not have an overall criterion to meet the international standards. The APCMA has approached Lafarge because of their high safety standards compliances at the
international level.
Chairman Lafarge Pakistan retired Maj Gen Rehmat Ali Khan said that there were one million moving parts in a cement plant ranging from a conveyer, crushers to movement of heavy machinery like cranes and trucks.
"Safety standard are compromised only because of lack of awareness," he said adding, "None of the investors want to see another tragedy like the ill fated Karachi factory fire — but they took the safety standards lightly."
The cost of implementing the Lafarge style safety standards would be around Rs10,000 per employee in addition to fire alarms and a dedicated team for training of employees and creating awareness.
CEO of Kohat Cement Aizaz Sheikh said that the cost of implementing high safety standards may seem a bit too much but it's the losses through accidents that are more expensive.
It was noted that cement plants usually have 1,000-2,000 employees and majority of them have limited education.

I don`t know why, but lately I became a black and white addict. I know I have to change this and do it as soon as possible and today was my first attempt to do so. The nude, white and khaki combo seems to be quite appealing but I think that it won`t keep to long. I have order so many things in black and white that my wardrobe seems to be borrowed from someone else :D
But I know, spring is here and I will do my best to keep the things happier around here, since the bright and pastels colors always bring a smile on our faces.
So, I hope you enjoy it and don`t forget to enter my latest giveaway Here.

Akila Dananjaya took six wickets as Sri Lanka hammered South Africa. © Twitter
Angelo Mathews hit 97 and Akila Dananjaya took six wickets as Sri Lanka hammered South Africa by 178 runs in the final one day international in Colombo on Sunday. With the brilliant innings from Mathews, backed by Niroshan Dickwella's 43, Sri Lanka made 299 for eight off their 50 overs. South Africa, needing to make the biggest target ever achieved by a visiting team to the Colombo ground, were all out for 121 at just under 25 overs.
Captain Quinton de Kock made 54 but other wickets fell thick and fast as Dananjaya's spin took a toll on the visitors.

How to see wealth in horoscope astrology
Check your horoscope by astrologer
As you sow, so might you procure. This basic of Vedic astrology constructs the singular's available in light of his past. Prophetic conception graphs are pointers of the present additionally convey conceivable cures. Cures are bad fortunes charms – rather images to center expectation to achieve thriving. Putting three garnets around your work area stimulates business; setting a cash stone in your handbag will expand you're plan. These can be joined with Sri Yanta: 9 interlocking triangles encompassing the focal Bindu, a union of female epitome of Shakti and Masculine Shiva. There are different images as well, including Saligram and so on. Visionary signs in the natal graphs demonstrate riches as well — whether it falls into the lap or is won through rationale, activity and determination. Riches is meant in second and eleventh places of a horoscope. It strolls in when the second ruler is in pair with that of the fifth and ninth houses. So diamond stones for the5th and ninth house and also second and eleventh house build riches. An astrologer looks for the position of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury show general budgetary prosperity of the horoscope. At the point when the seventh and eighth houses are sure, funds enhance after marriage. Jupiter in the eighth means legacy, its nonattendance is negative in astrology.
In Vedic-astrology a Raj-yog implies the master of the first, fourth, seventh or tenth in the fifth or ninth House or the other way around. Exchanging and business wealth is shown by the Sun in a positive sign with the second and sixth cusps and a propitious Mars. A person with such a blend has the advantage of demanding that being conceived poor is good fortune, yet passing on poor is your issue! Other fortunate joins for riches can include: A Virgo with Rahu, Venus and Mars. A few astrologers likewise require a Saturn here Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury in their own particular signs for long life and wealth Sun with Moon and Jupiter in ideal positions in the Navamsa Early riches accompanies the ruler of the second and tenth houses joined by the master of the lagna in the Kendra of the master of the Navamsa The ruler of place of marriage in the second house, the master of the second house in the eleventh and the ruler of the eleventh in the lagna.

Sompolinsky's research goal is to uncover the fundamental principles of the organization, the dynamics and the function of the brain, viewing the brain through multiscale lenses, spanning the molecular, the cellular, and the circuit levels. To achieve this goal, Sompolinsky has developed new theoretical approaches to computational neuroscience based on the principles and methods of statistical physics, and physics of dynamical and stochastic systems. This new field, Neurophysics, builds in part on Sompolinsky's earlier work on critical phenomena, random systems, spin glasses, and chaos. His research areas cover theoretical and computational investigations of cortical dynamics, sensory processing, motor control, neuronal population coding, long and short-term memory, and neural learning. The highlights of his research include theories and models of local cortical circuits, visual cortex, associative memory, statistical mechanics of learning, chaos and excitation-inhibition balance in neuronal networks, principles of neural population codes, statistical mechanics of compressed sensing and sparse coding in neuronal systems, and the Tempotron model of spike time based neural learning. He also studies the neuronal mechanisms of volition and the impact of physics and neuroscience on the foundations of human freedom and agency.

Fresh Inspiration Friday Challenge - Inspiration Off the Wall
Tami from Hero Arts and Hero Hostesses Anita, Linda, Sharon, Sally and I made cards using this yummy colour combination. Links to all of our cards can be found at this post here on the Hero Arts website. The post also includes full details of the challenge - I hope you'll join in on the fun!
Stamps (Hero Arts) - Classic Fabric Design, Envelope Pattern, Exotic Bloom & It's a Day for a Cupcake
To start with I applied broken china and faded jeans distress inks to the Classic Fabric Background, spritzed well with water and stamped on watercolour paper. Then I used broken china distress ink and the Envelope Pattern to stamp another layer. On the main panel I used the same inks on the Exotic Bloom stamp and this time lightly spritzed with water. The sentiment which was stamped using a chalk ink is from a cute set that Linda sent me last year – thanks again Linda! I just added some twine and a gem to finish.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! It looks like we're going to have another beautiful sunny weekend here so I'm really looking forward to that:)

February 2012
Well, my February official weigh-in is in the books - and it's early and good. 158.4 on Feb. 5. Yay, me. That's a keeper number.
Last month, after a tough stretch in December, I had to bust ass until Jan. 28 to get down to a number that A) I was comfortable submitting to Weight Watchers and B) was back in my goal range.
This month I would love to hover more around 155 than 158, just to give me more breathing room from the upper limit of my goal weight range, 160.
To be honest, I don't know if 155 is attainable - or sustainable. I have a lot of loose skin around my abdomen, thanks to pregnancies and years of gaining and losing weight. It's so considerable I'm a good size larger (10) around my midsection than I am in my thighs (8). If you see me in person, my pants are always baggy in the thighs because I need a larger size to actually, you know, zip them up.
One thousand crunches a day for the rest of my life won't get rid of that skin, it's like an elastic that's been stretched out too many times and has lost its ability to snap back. Only surgery would alleviate it and I pray, seriously, that one day that's an option I can exercise (and afford).
This is what complicates the actual number on the scale. I have a good 10-15 lbs of loose skin on my torso. While I'm trying to get down around 155, my body already thinks it's well below that number. I can just hear it: "WTF? You weigh, like, 145. I'm not dropping you lower."
Still, I will try, but if the upper 150s is where it's at for now, I'm OK with that. It's just mentally difficult to inhabit that neighborhood. I feel like I have very little room for a dinner out or an off-plan meal. Rationally, I know I do, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around it sometimes, so I don't feel the flexibility I should.
So, that's the scale update.
On the activity front, I've moved from 2 days of bootcamp a week (Wednesday and Friday) to 3 (M, W, F). Loving it. I am an awesome shuffle - low center of gravity, quick feet. Seriously, I can shuffle like no one's business. And sprint? Usain Bolt, y'all. When the board says "sprint", I sprint. And lat pulldowns? Pffft, strong like bull.
And, thank God, I'm rehabbing on the running front, running 3x a week (Tu, Thu & Sun) to rebuild my base, endurance and legs so I can start racing again next month (March 11) without reinjury.
Six days of high-intensity activity. That's, um, intense, right? But, see, here's the deal: I love it. I absolutely do. Five out of those 6 days I get up at 5 to run around in the freezing pre-dawn dark or drive off to bootcamp in weird shoes and pants to get stronger and more agile. And I really, really love it.
I know, I'm surprised, too. I never thought I would be the person who loves hard exercise as much as I do. Maybe it's the challenge of it all? I'm just really happy I can be back on track with exercise. I'm still babying my back and glute, stretching, strengthening, warming up and cooling down, pushing just enough up not too much so I can keep doing what I love without injury.
I'm down to once a month at the chiropractor, who keeps reminding me I can only do the best with what I have: occasionally spazzy lower back, balky right glute and tight hips. Gotta remember to enjoy and work with what I have and not mourn what I don't, which when you get down to it is not a bad motto for life.

Help with downloading!
Hi, I bought true basic bronze edition (the one that is $29.99) as my professor instructed me too. However, I am very computer illiterate (thats why I am in an intro to computers course) and when i go to click download, nothing happens except a text box appears with weird symbols in a different language!! It will expire in a day, and I refuse to pay unless I can get it to work! This is horrible that there is no way to get assistance except through here :(
Someone please help me! Thanks!
Unable to Download
W. D. Allen
I too have been unable to download True Bronze Bronze after paying for it. Does True Basic monitor this forum?
Re: TB Bronze
cchaven ... You bought TB Bronze Edition for $30? It's $40, and it comes on a CD, by mail.
If it is available by download from True BASIC Inc., it might be discounted to $30; I got my copy (on CD) years ago.
A downloadable version would likely come as a Zip file, and the software would have to be "extracted" from the zipped file.
What kind of computer do you have? If it's a Macintosh you are in trouble unless its operating system is OSX Leopard. True BASIC versions Bronze, Silver & Gold are PC-compatible only.
If you can get your TB Bronze installed on yours or sombody else's PC computer you can see if that solves the mystery. Regards ... Tom M

|These fierce fighting mercenaries have, on occasion, been bribed and then switched allegiance during a battle.

Book 2 was supposed to be released earlier this month, but I ran into writers block left and right. It is now due to be out around the end of this month beginning of next month. (I am pushing for the end of this month) I have less than 10k words to write left then it is up to the editing on how quickly it will be released. I will be doing a cover reveal soon!! Since everyone has been waiting patiently for this book to get finished here is the peak of the Blurb/synopsis. 🙂
Sasha's life has become something of a fairy tale of sorts only, not the happily ever after kind. She lives in a beautiful castle and is surrounded by friends and most importantly her parents. However, that is where the fairy tale ends. Her love life is more often than not a mess, and the first war in her new home is upon them. Sasha must journey to the most dangerous of this world's species in hopes of their help. Will Sasha be able to gain the allies she needs to defeat the Shifters or will she die trying?

Four US senators have buttonholed Dave Cameron on his "meet the new British guy" trip to Washington and suggested, for want of a better word, that it would be a good idea that an independent investigation be held into whether Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al Megrahi's release from prison was influenced by lobbying by BP in return for an oil drilling deal in Libya.
Given that Capitol Hill is usually under siege by lobbyists trying to get, er, senators, to see a particular point of view, this is a bit rich, but we'll give these four fine, upstanding representatives of the people the benefit of the doubt.
We also presume that while they grilled Cameron for 45 minutes they also demanded a full investigation into another small matter…
….whether al Megrahi actually did it.
Seems fair, non? After all, the families of the Lockerbie victims have been asking for the same for years.

Does your dog bark persistently, even if nothing seems to be triggering his response? Stop that annoying noise today! The Bark Stop is a barking deterrent system that uses an ultrasonic tone to teach your dog not to bark incessantly. When the Bark Stop hears your dog bark, it emits an irritating sound that your dog will hear up to 35 feet away. Your pet will quickly learn that his barks trigger this noise and will stop barking without provocation.
Unlike some ultrasonic bark deterrents, the Bark Stop is safe for indoor or outdoor use. With a 50-foot outdoor power extension cord, you'll have plenty of freedom of placement. The bark sensitivity adjustment control allows you to adjust how loud the bark must be to cause the correction tone to sound, so regardless of the size of your dog, his incessant barking can be corrected with Bark Stop.
Manufacturer: Viatek Manufacturer Product No.: BC06G Dimensions: 6.6" x 3.75" x 2.75" Power: 12V center pin (+) DC adapter Coverage: Radius of up to 35 feet Cord Length: 50 feet Warranty: 1 year, limited

Didn't seem to make one bit of difference to my two dogs. When testing, we could hear the high tone, but when sliding the switch to ultrasonic, it was so 'mushy' that I wasn't convinced that the plastic button was allowing the contacts inside to actually meet. I'm not sure if it's wailing away at high frequency, but if it is my dogs haven't been influenced by it.

I bought this device as a birthday present for my mother, who has a Min-Pin and a Miniature Poodle. Unfortunately, I returned the item because she said it made no difference at all. The dogs still barked as much as they always did.

When we received the bark stop it worked for about a week, and then stopped. We exchanged it, but that one is not working unless we press the button. I am going to call your customer support line as soon as I can to see if they can help. I wish it were working because the first week was wonderful! Thanks, Jennifer

Did not shut the neighbor's dogs up at all! We put the device about 3 to 4 feet from the dogs and it still was not strong enough. We're sending our device back asap.

I was skeptical at first but figured it was worth a try especially with Smarthomes 30 day money back guarantee. The Bark Stop worked the first day... right out of the box. I would highly recommend the Bark Stop to other dog owners who have problems with their dogs barking while they are away.
