About booking Saxophone Players
Whether you are looking for a saxophone player to add a jazzy sound to your rock band, you need to fill out the woodwind section of your orchestra, or you just want a solo saxophonist to perform at your event, GigSalad has what you need. From corporate events and fundraisers to private parties and weddings, the saxophone is the perfect instrument to add that smooth jazz sound to the atmosphere.
There are a few things you should consider when hiring a saxophone player. First, be sure to listen to audio and watch video samples. You want to be sure you are satisfied with the sound and look of the performer before you book him/her. Next, get references and read reviews. Talk to people in the area who have seen the performer and/or have booked them in the past. Feedback is the best way to ensure you book the best. If you are looking for a saxophonist for your band or orchestra, check to see if they can adapt to different kinds of music and if they play well with unfamiliar bands. Last, always get a contract. Read the contract carefully and work out any details in regards to deposit requirements, length of performance, scheduled breaks, attire, travel, and lodging. Watch for specifications made by the performer and be sure you can meet them.

"I would like to open this site for conversation with women of all ages, convictions and styles of life – wherever situated on the gamut of experience. In principle, there is no bar to men joining in, since how one defines women has a lot to do with what it means to be a man. But it is women I invite to pull up a chair at this virtual café table and put their questions and views into the conversation. I can be wrong as often as right, so specific advice will be avoided. What will be sought is light on how best to frame the situation of women, considered as a highly interesting problematic. What kind of hand have we been dealt, as women, and how can we best play it?
Comments are warmly encouraged on any post at any point."

(Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The Myanmar army has released 96 more former child soldiers as part of its effort to prevent and end underage military recruitment, the United Nations said, while news emerged of a former child soldier being sentenced to one year in prison for desertion.
The soldiers' release on Saturday was the largest since the Myanmar military signed an action plan in June 2012 with a U.N.-led task force under which a total of 272 former child soldiers have now been freed.
However, the Irrawaddy Burmese news website reported on Wednesday that one former child soldier – recruited in 2009 at age 17 – was arrested in December and sentenced on Jan. 7 to one year in prison for deserting his unit.
Critics say the army's efforts under the accord, reached with the task force comprising U.N. agencies and the NGOs World Vision and Save the Children, have been insufficient.
Human Rights Watch child rights expert Jo Becker said last May that a year into the action plan, "the Burmese military has failed to meet even the basic indicators of progress."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said in a report also issued last May that while underage recruitment continued, there appeared to be a steady decrease, with 172 verified cases in 2009, 134 in 2010, 123 in 2011, and 32 in 2012. Most recruits were 14 to 17 years old, but some were as young as 10.
"Recruiters continued to target working and unaccompanied children at workplaces, bus and train stations, ferry terminals and markets and in the streets, and orphans and non-working children in home villages and wards," the report said.
Non-state armed groups similarly recruit and use children, the United Nations said, and it urged the seven listed non-state armed groups also to sign up to their own action plan with the task force.
In an email interview with Thomson Reuters Foundation, Bertrand Bainvel, the UNICEF representative in Yangon and co-chair of the task force, responded to questions about the child soldiers released. Here are excerpts of his responses.
Q: How were these child soldiers discovered?
A: Some of the discharged children have been identified by the Tatmadaw (Burmese army) themselves, by the battalions and training schools, through the review of their own records and through the self-identification of children in the army.
Some children have also been reported by families and communities to the ILO (U.N. International Labour Organization) complaints mechanism.
Other children have been identified through a CTFMR (Country Task Force on Monitoring and Reporting on grave child rights violations).
Q: How were they forced or lured into soldiering?
A: Some children joined the armed forces while others have been forced or deceived into joining.
Some children have been deceived into joining the armed forces, indicating they were enticed by individual soldiers or by civilian brokers with the promise of jobs and a good salary, and then forced to enlist. In some cases, underage recruits indicated they only became aware of their official recruitment after receiving uniforms or being sent to training school.
Families are sometimes unaware that there are restrictions on children serving in the armed forces. In response to this, the joint action plan also focuses on prevention of recruitment and awareness-raising across the public at large.
Q: How many children are still being used by the Tatmadaw? Are children still being recruited, and is this a problem from the central government level, or more in the provinces, where perhaps policies have yet to reach?
A: No verifiable data exists on the number of children recruited by the Tatmadaw. However, we know that from 2004 to December 2013, 760 children have been demobilised from the Tatmadaw and over 400 provided with reintegration support back into their communities.
Instructions and directives have been given from central level to stop the recruitment of children in the Tatmadaw but challenges may still occasionally arise on the implementation level.
The public can report the recruitment of children through a CTFMR-operated hotline, 09421166701 or 09421166702, from 7 am to 10 pm. A call back service is provided for broken calls and missed calls outside these hours.

1001 Video GamesGrand Theft Auto: Vice City appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
BugsOn the (North American) PlayStation 2 version of this game, memory card data can get corrupted when the game is saved at the Ice Cream Factory.
Commodore 64The second Rockstar Logo sequence that appears before each game pays homage to the Commodore 64. The blue on blue screen, the quality of the music, and even the load command accurately model the most popular home computer (especially for gaming) in the late eighties.
ControversyIn December 2003, the New York City's Human Rights Commission demanded that Take Two removed the phrase "Kill Haitians" from Vice City after Haitian groups complained about this.
Take 2 responded:
As with literature, movies, music and other forms of entertainment, we have strived to create a video game experience with a certain degree of realism, which we believe is our right. Nevertheless, we are aware of the hurt and anger in the Haitian community and have listened to the community's objections to certain statements made in the game. Accordingly, we will remove the objectionable statements from future copies of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
DJsAmong the connections this 'prequel' has with the original Grand Theft Auto III are the return of younger versions of some of the radio DJs.
- Lazlow (whose real life counterpart is responsible for writing a lot of the radio dialogue), the talk radio Chatterbox personality returns as a young DJ starting out trying to convince everyone that he's a hard core rebel on the rock and roll station, V-ROCK.
- Toni (Maria Chambers), was Flashback-FM's aging pop groupie DJ in GTA III. In Vice City, she not only sounds younger and naive, but a good chunk of her material plays into her GTA III material (for example, yes, she HAS been on fire). Her 80's station? Appropriately enough, named Flash FM
- And in a twist, Fernando Martinez (Frank Chavez), who ran the pseudo-legal prostitution ring ads euphemistically called 'Fernando's New Beginnings' got his start as a Vice City radio DJ on Emotion 98.3. In between playing emotive records, he's already begun his pimping ways.
DundeeGrand Theft Auto: Vice City was created by Rockstar North, a division of Rockstar Games. Rockstar North was previously known as DMA Design. DMA Design was originally located in the Scottish City of Dundee. In 2000 the company moved to Leith in Edinburgh.
Located near the airport is a sign mocking Dundee. It has a picture of a ship on it (Called the RRS Discovery) and the word "Dundee" very similar to that used by the local council when promoting Dundee. There is also some text saying something along the lines of "We have a ship that belonged to a loser".
For more information on Dundee try www.dundee.com www.dundeecity.gov.uk
German versionOn March 29, 2003, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2) was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS. For more information about what this means and to see a list of games sharing the same fate, take a look here: BPjS/BPjM indexed games. After the game has been banned in Germany, publisher Take 2 released a new, censored version. Rated 16, you can recognize the edited game by its white edges on the cover.
The changes are:
- People on the ground can't be hurt with melee weapons
- Blood effects when hurting people were removed
- No decapitations
- Killed people don't leave money behind
- The Rampage missions were removed
- Two regular missions were removed: Messing with the Man and Dirty Lickin's
Guinness World RecordsAs of 2008, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is listed by Guinness World Records as the biggest selling game of 2002 and the best-selling PlayStation 2 game of all time.
Movie studioIn the movie lot located in Prawn Island, there is some set that looks like Broadway. If you take a look, you´ll notice that is the set of Staunton Island (Liberty City) even with the same advertisements.
- In one of the assassination missions you get from the payphones the targets are called Nico Carter and Marcus Hammond which is a nod to the two main characters in the game The Getaway.
- The remote control helicopter used in the mission 'Demolition Man' closely resembles the helicopter which is piloted in one level of Blood Money, a game developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North) for the Commodore Amiga computer.
- In the Malibu Club, the band performing on the stage of the club is an obvious parody on the Village People.
SalesVice City was a massive success for Rockstar. Electronics Boutique sold more than 500,000 copies on the game's first day of release, and more 250,000 in the UK.
SoundtrackYou can buy the soundtrack in your record-store. But try to get the German version - it has more tracks on it, than the US-version, due to some copyright difficulties.
Swimming poolThere is a mansion on Starfish Island, by the shore, with a peculiar swimming pool. If you look at it from above (looking south) you'll see that it has the shape of a woman's torso, and some rocks at its bottom look like a bikini.
Telephone numbersYou can call the telephone numbers that are being advertised on the radio or elsewhere. They work.
WeaponsAs of 2009, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the only GTA game not to feature the AK-47.
Windows releaseWindows version of this game was accidentally put on shelves 5 days before right release date. After that many gameshops put out this game 1 or 2 days before right release date.
Vice Point buildingFrom 23:00 to 00:00 in-game time, near the Malibu Club, the Vice Point Langer building's lit windows form a figure which looks like a penis. Every 15 in-game minutes during this time, a fountain on the top of the building is activated to give the impression the penis is ejaculating.

Daniel Carriveau's busy schedule is about to get even more hectic.
The college freshman, Eagle Scout, and Silver Award recipient is double-majoring in resort management and accounting at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wis. He also spent the past year as Central Region Venturing President, a role that had him at 62 different Venturing events over a 12-month period.
Sounds busy, right? Oh, just wait.
Dan will soon take it to the next level as the 2011-2012 National Venturing President. That means he'll be the top national representative for the BSA program that serves young men and women ages 14 (or 13 and completion of the 8th grade) to 20.
He takes over for Jennifer Lowe, who will soon finish her one-year term.
Dan will be installed at the National Annual Meeting in San Diego later this month, and his term officially begins on June 1. That'll kick off a year full of travel and fun—and tons of hard work.
I recently chatted with Dan by telephone, and I was struck by the 19-year-old's poise and his enthusiasm about the Venturing program.
BRYAN WENDELL: Congrats on the presidency! How did you find out?
DANIEL CARRIVEAU: First I had one of the most intense interviews I've ever been in. The interview lasted 30 minutes, but friends helped me prepare by grilling me for hours with different questions. The next day I got a call from Jen [the 2010-2011 National Venturing President] with the good news.
BW: What have you learned from your predecessor over the past year?
DC: She's done a great job. We've been having conversations to prepare me for my role, she's been including me in all the e-mails sent out, and I've been participating in the conference calls that I would not have as regional president. I'm even going to several meetings with Jen at the national meeting, so that when June 1 comes, I will be ready to go.
BW: In past years, the president was selected at the national meeting, but you found out in early March. Why the change?
DC: Yes, they previously told the new president literally a few days before their term actually started. This time, there's a transition period where the outgoing president can pass on [his or her] knowledge.
BW: Talk to me about your duties as National Venturing President. You're not just traveling the country to shake hands and pose for pictures, are you?
DC: Right, we're not just a figurehead. We have work that we do while we're there. We get ideas from Venturers and leaders and take them to the national level. We also promote the various Venturing awards, conduct training sessions, give speeches, encourage other youth to become leaders, answer questions, communicate Venturing updates, work with people to establish Venturing Officer Associations, and promote the Venturing program as a whole. That's just a few of our tasks!
BW: All while juggling a full college course load?
DC: I arranged my school schedule so I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I can leave for trips on Friday and come back on Monday. It will have more travel, but there will be some great opportunities. Not many people get to experience this.
BW: But what about all the homework?
DC: I heard a great quote that said, "You're never too busy; you're just unorganized." It's true. If you can stay organized, you can accomplish anything you want.
BW: And you have certainly accomplished a lot—in the Venturing program especially. How can adult Advisors help motivate their Venturers to earn awards?
DC: One of the things about the awards is that they are something that the Venturer has to do themselves. They have to take the initiative. That's true for anything in life. If you want to do something, you have to do it yourself. But still, a lot of the requirements, you will be getting done just by participating in the program. It's just a matter of bringing the book along and saying, "can you sign this?"
BW: What about recruiting? How can Advisors get more young men and women in their crew?
DC: That's a big question that a lot of leaders ask. I find that peer-to-peer recruitment is one of the best, most-effective ways to get more people to join. In fact, one of the big goals I have is to put together some tools and resources to help with peer-to-peer recruitment.
BW: What other recruiting methods work well?
DC: Work with professionals, like district executives, who put a lot of time going around to different high schools. Find out from them what interests the youth in the area. For example, if I really like canoeing and there's a Venturing crew that goes canoeing, how do I find out about it?
BW: How about compelling Boy Scouts to join Venturing?
DC: Yes, bring the youth to the events so they can see what it's all about.
BW: That's what got you to join, right?
DC: Exactly. I was on staff at a Boy Scout camp that had Venturing events, and I thought they were having fun. I was right.
BW: Thanks, Dan, for your time, and good luck in your role as National Venturing President!

The buildings seem abandoned with their boarded up windows and grimy façades. Yet the opposite is true as these are the renowned ruin bars of Budapest. Creative minds have transformed dilapidated factories, warehouses and flats into unique cafés, bars and night clubs that you won't want to miss.
Most ruin bars are located in the Jewish neighbourhood. This district had become increasingly dilapidated over previous decades, with many empty buildings and lots. In early 2000, a few initiators took their chance and built a bar in an area where no one wanted to live. They installed a dance floor and artists decorated the crumbling walls with pieces of art. The first ruin bar, called Szimpla Kert, opened its doors a year later. It was the start of a new trend; now Budapest has around 30 of these venues.

The Urdu word basti refers to any space, intimate to worldly, and is often translated as "common place" or "a gathering place." This book by Intizar Husain, who is widely regarded as one of the most important living Pakistani writers, traverses a number of cities, the connections between them, and the people who live in them. Within this slender book are a great number of dichotomous themes, most of them facing off with each other: tradition and innovation, Hinduism and Islam, India and Pakistan. But all of these revolve around a greater theme of change, mostly that which comes with war, and how the people involved must react to it—and possibly lose their humanity in doing so.
The book opens with Zakir as a child in India, which, at the time includes what would soon be Pakistan. He recalls growing up as a small Muslim boy alongside Hindu boys and girls. The calm of his childhood, however, is upset by an explanation of how Cain murders and buries of his brother Abel, with Zakir's mother cursing Cain's blood, for "it was thinner than water!," and a discussion that Doomsday will come "when those who can speak fall silent, and shoelaces speak." This particularly gloomy talk soon becomes appropriate in this context, however, as it clearly foreshadows the war that will rend India and Pakistan apart, and separate families and friends.
It is interesting, and then sad, to observe how the role of religious conflict between Hindus and Muslims in India changes throughout Zakir's life. This conflict is a common fact of life at the beginning of the novel—it's a point of exasperation more than it is one of violence. For example, when the rainy season comes and soaks everything, the Hindu women sing night and day for the god Krishna to come and end the rainy season. Zakir's mother, a Muslim woman, sighs over this, saying:
"Oh, these Hindu women won't let us get a wink of sleep tonight! And on top of it the rain keeps coming down."
"Bi Amma, this is the Janamashtami rain!" Auntie Sharifan elaborated: "Krishan-ji's diapers are being washed."
"Well, by now Krishan-ji's diapers have been washed quite enough! The water is overflowing."
The Hindu explanations of nature in terms of gods, and their terms of respect, "-ji," and the like, flow easily from the Muslim women's tongues. However, after the split of India and Pakistan, and the wars that follow, these cease, and the language in the text seems less colorful for it. The vibrancy of the references to Krishna and Vishnu seem dulled when replaced with the uniform allusions to Qu'ranic verses and the disciples Ali and Muhammed.
The majority of the novel concerns itself with Zakir's position as a professor, caught in the war in Pakistan, while the woman he loved when they were children, Sabirah, is stuck in India. He escapes the war by losing himself in memory, and these passages are some of the most beautiful, particularly when he starts keeping a diary of the events of the war. In these entries, he remembers the plague that swept his town as a child, thus associating for the reader war with plague; he also tracks the confusion that comes with war. One of the most beautiful passages is Zakir realising that home, in war, means everything and nothing as the concept becomes more confused: "I can do nothing else for this city, but I can pray, and I do pray. In my mind is a prayer for Rupnagar, and its people as well, for I can no longer imagine Rupnagar apart from this city. Rupnagar and this city have merged together inside me, and become one town." Here, the reader sees how in the desperation that comes with war, one must cope by surrendering what one knows as home and allow it to blend, pulling it closer, for the sake of being able to hope and pray for it. Zakir defies the inevitability of the destruction of Rupnagar, by stating, "No, the bomb shouldn't fall on that neighbourhood. The house ought to stay safe, the whole house and the room which holds in trust the tears of my first night in Pakistan." By blending the two places he regards as home, he can keep the former in some semblance of safety and wholeness in his mind.
The story of the novel—the chronicle of a Muslim man dealing with the loss of war-torn India and Pakistan—is good on its own, and the language is occasionally very beautiful, especially when the text loses itself in the storytelling of Muslim and Hindu myths, and as Zakir loses himself in them. However, for all the times that the language is elegant, there are instances of where wording seems awkward and there is a literalness that at times is detracting from the story. In her forward, translator Frances W. Pritchett explains that she has "not 'transcreated' the text or smoothed out its stylistic idiosyncrasies." Spelling this out does not necessarily make the text easier for a non-Urdu speaker to read. One example hinges on the use of formality in spoken Urdu. Pritchett explains,
". . . traditional Urdu is notable for its love of direct address and direct discourse. Speeches often begin with a form of address—sometimes a name or kinship term, or very commonly a vocative particle of some sort; while omitting or translating most, [Pritchett has] retained a few of the more vivid . . ."
The Urdu-speaking young man is very fond of addressing his fellow as "Yar!" This word is a term of comradeship, which is all well in itself, but, for the English-speaker, it calls to mind the cry of a bloodthirsty one-eyed pirate. Thus, the pages where the address is sprinkled throughout the text is almost comical. It's possible to become quickly disenchanted with this frequency and form of address; in one two-page span, the term "yar" was used fourteen times. Here is a small sampling:
"Yar, that man seems a very suspicious character to me."
"You've said something like this before."
"But today I'm convinced of it."
"Yar, anybody who makes a show of national feeling, I've begun to have doubts about."
"Oh, let's drop the subject, yar. I'll tell you some news."
"Really? All right."
"Yar, today a letter came," he said confidentially.
While this is the most extreme example of the proximity of the placement of this form of address, it can at times be distracting to an English reader. While Urdu is a more formalized language in which these forms of address and telling of proverbs is common, English is not—though that's not to say there is anything wrong with presenting some foreignness in the translated text, There are schools of thought in translation theory stating that it is advantageous—if not beneficial—to have the reader work a little to understand a text.
Overall, this is a beautiful book that introduces the uninformed reader to a conflict that shook a whole subcontinent. It is strewn with beautiful language and references to cultures and religions the reader may be ignorant of. The novel is one for people who are interested in leaving their comfort zones and entering into a warzone, a place that was once a home, and learning what happens to those who stay, those who struggle with change. One can enjoy the lands traversed, be pulled in by the political struggle that is reminiscent, in some ways, of what the Western reader might associate with East and West Germany. And, in doing so, we can come to understand the meaning of basti, knowing, finally, that it is an international concept.

Garmin has a lot more planned than making personal nav devices — and they're even going beyond OE infotainment systems.
They introduced a new platform at CES. K2 promises to be more than a mere navigation add-on.
It will feature a 10-inch touchscreen that will function like a large smartphone with online connectivity.
Another larger screen though will serve as the car's instrument cluster.
With Bluetooth, drivers would be able to connect their phones and have the system deal with calls and messages. Voice command will make it safe for people to access features and data while driving.
The system may offer even more when it actually goes into a production car. As of now it is not slated for any vehicle.

"30 Mosques" Speakers to Spark Dialogueby Steve Charles • February 22, 2011 Share:
Last year comedian Aman Ali and filmmaker Bassam Tariq gained international attention driving across the U.S. to visit 30 mosques in 30 states over the 30 days of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting and spiritual purification for Muslims.
Now the two are visiting colleges and community centers to talk about what they've learned and to hear from people across the country in their 30 Mosques/30 States speaking tour, which makes one of only three Indiana stops here at Wabash on Wednesday, February 23 from 6 p.m to 8 p.m. in Detchon International Hall.
"When we hear 'Muslim' or 'Mosque' or "Islam" in mainstream America, too many people think 'anti-American' or even 'enemies,' said Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean Cheryl Hughes. "This program reminds us that the Muslim community is as diverse, and as American, as many other religious traditions in this country. The 30 Mosque/30 States project documents the history and diversity of Muslim communities across the United States and engages us in a dialogue about religious expression and religious freedom in America."
The presentation is co-sponsored by the College's Department of Religion, Multicultural Concerns Committee, International Students Office, and Muslim Students Association.
"Ali and Tariq will begin with a multi-media presentation of their work and travels, then will seek a conversation with attendees on the general topics of Islam in America," said Director of Off-Campus Studies and International Students David Clapp. "As they travel, they are learning, and they invite us to learn with them."
Ali and Tariq were featured last year on ABC News, CNN, Fox News, and NPR, as well as numerous local affiliates, as they journeyed across the country from New York City beginning August 12. They logged more than 12,000 miles on the month-long trip.
"Originally, this was about the mosques," Ali told reporters toward the end of their journey. "And we've seen some beautiful mosques. But the trip has turned out to be more about the people we meet along the way. We've met some truly wonderful people."
The cross-country journey was inspired the previous year after the pair's Twitter experiment of spending the holy Muslim month of Ramadan at a different New York City mosque each night blossomed into a multimedia blogging project that garnered attention from tens of thousands worldwide.

User talk:W
From Geo Hashing
Hey there. Since you geopeople are up for adventures, I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping me organize a Journey to the End of the Night in Oslo. There is nothing fixed yet, our first goal would be to assemble a core team of volunteers and meet up to agree on the basics. If you'd like to be in the loop, do send me an email with your email address (and facebook id if existing). -- relet 14:52, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

This is a featured upload! It showcases the best talent and creativity available on MTS and in the community.
Update 11/04/2018
Child and Toddler Fairies:
Now fairies can be an all-ages lifestate. To have children/toddler fairies you'll need to do the "Plead the fairies" interaction on the Fairies Tree. Childrens will behave the same way adults do, they will pray and then they'll become fairies. Toddlers will cry instead of praying, and that's what will make them fairies. Now, let's talk about their abilities... Well... Let's just say that they don't have any fairy interaction yet (So they can't change the color of their wings), except for children, who will have the "I can fly" interaction and they'll fly instead of walking.
Wings Through Ages:
Let's start by saying that when a Fairy Toddler grows up, their wings will be gone! Don't worry though, this is easily fixed! Click on your now Child Fairy, go in the "Fairy" menu and select "Sprout new Wings!", this way, the child's wings will return!
Now let's pass on when a fairy child grows up. When the child grows into a teen his wings will disappear again! Don't worry, this too is easily fixed: Just select the "fairy" menu and "change the color of the wings", select a color and before you know it, the wings will appear with the color you've chosen! From the teen to elder, fairies won't lose their wings again.
Minor Changes and Bugs Fix:
- Added a Special Effect to the tree when a sim finishes praying to become a fairy.
- Fixed a bug that would prevent the wings to show up when changing lot.
- Lowered the amount of happiness the "Aura of Soothing" gives.
- If I did everything right, now fairies are invulnerable to auras.
- Added Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Polish translations. Remember, when translating, give me the STBL file and I will eventually put it in the mod.
Future Plans:
- Fairy Pranks.
- Wings animations.
- Fairy/Enchanted Energy need, which will completely change the auras and future spells's magic consumption criteria.
- More animation changes.
Fairies Mod V1.5 changesAfter a lot of work, sweat and tears, I have finally completed this update, let's see what does it add! :
-Auras-NOTE: THE AURAS WILL AFFECT THE SIMS SURROUNDING THE FAIRY ONLY
Fairies are now capable of using some magic abilities! First of all, there are Auras:
- They can cast between 5 magic auras, that are Aura of Soothing, of Body and Mind, of Creativity, of Discomfort and of Idiocy.
= Aura of Soothing (+20 Happy)
Will make sims very happy, it will highly increase their fun and social needs, and will receive a boost in social skills.
= Aura of Body and Mind (+10 Focused)
Will make sims learn the logic and fitness skills much faster!
= Aura of Creativity (+10 Inspired)
Musical and Artistic skills will be learnt much faster!
= Aura of Discomfort (+10 Sadness)
The exact opposite of the "Aura of Soothing", it will highly decrease the fun and social needs and learning abilities is a bit harder.
= Aura of Idiocy
Sims won't learn any skill and everytime they interact with someone, they'll be automatically enemies! (Because sims will think they're too stupid to talk too) So If you want your sim to learn an ability or to have GOOD RELATIONSIPS, then don't use this aura (Obviously!).
If you don't want the sims around you to have auras, there's an interaction, that is â€dispel near auras†which will remove the aura from the sims near the fairy (and the fairy itself).
-Magic Energy-Everytime a Fairy casts an aura they'll receive the "Out of Magic Energy" (+6 dazed) buff that lasts 6 hours!
What are the consequences of this buff? Well, you cannot use any magical ability except one interaction that I'm gonna talk about below.
If you don't want to wait for the buff to expire you can do a "Recharging Meditation", an interaction that will appear only if you're out of magic energy! Doing this, your sim will sit on the ground, and focusing on gaining magic energy.
The meditation brings an advantage and a disadvantage:
= Advantage: You'll receive the "Full of magic energy" (+4 Energetic) buff, that will last 2 hours. What is the advantage of this? Well, during the presence of this buff, you are able to cast any aura, without receiving the "Out of magic energy" buff.
= Disadvantage: Once the buff expires, everything goes back to normal and you'll receive the "Out of Magic Energy" buff everytime you cast an aura. What's the disadvantage? If you receive the dazed buff, you won't be able to meditate again BUT you'll have to wait 5 in-game hours in order to do that again.
SO which will you use? Patience or Cheats?
-Colored wings!-Now Fairies will be able to change their wings's colors! The options available are:
Default, Black, Yellow, White, Red, Pink and Green!
-Bug Fixes and things you can no longer do-= Fixed the fact that sims wouldn't do the "I can fly!" interaction while sitting.
= Now Fairies can wear glasses.
= You can't create a fairy with CAS, so to be a fairy you'll have to use the tree.
General Informations about the mod:
-First of all: Fairies!-Yes, you can now control a new occult, that is the fairy life state. Fairies have some changes and bonuses:
- They have a pair of wings and pointy ears! (NOTE: You can't wear hats as a fairy. Sorry...)
- They have 1 new interaction, that is "I Can Fly!" (Interaction [not animation] from the Sims 3 Supernatural) where they'll fly around increasing the fun need.
- Most of the time, they won't walk, but fly! (NOTE: They will walk when feeling bored, unconfortable and energic. They will also walk if they have a custom walkstyle! So make sure to give them the default walkstyle in order to fly!)
- They will perform a special idle animation from time to time.
- Their fun and social will drop slightly faster than normal.
- The Mischief skill now develops MUCH faster! Fairies are really mischievous!
- They will occasionally have two buffs:
= "Feeling Playful" (+3 playful)
= "Where's the fun?!?" (+4 Bored)
- Children, Childish and Insane sims will continuously react when they see a fairy receiving the "Wow! A Fairy!" (+6 happy) Buff for 6 hours (NOTE: After the buff expires they will have it again if they see a fairy again)
- They will have sparkles behind their back! (NOTE: They might dissappear sometimes, but don't worry they will re-appear if you change the lot or go in CAS)
-How to be a Fairy?-
So, to become a fairy, your sim has to receive the fairies's blessing by pleading the fairies from the "Fairies tree" (The trait will add to the others, instead of taking space, THIS IS THE ONLY METHOD)
- Children and below can't be fairies
-What is the "Fairies's tree"-
A legend says that this tree was watered by a fairy queen's tears, and now is protected by fairies, who will curse or bless (your point of view) any sim who will plead to this tree by turning them into fairies as well. Why would the sim plead for a tree? Well some sims say that the tree brings a lot of fortune! Of course, this is all just a legend... Or not...? Who knows!
It can be found in build mode, in the "trees" section.
-What can you do with this tree?-This tree has 2 interactions on it! :
- They can "Contemplate the tree", this will lead the sim to observe it.... Obviously!
- They can "Plead the fairies" and this will bring the sim to transform into a fairy after praying. BE CAREFUL THOUGH! A fairy cannot return into a human, so choose wisely...
Tranks and Credits:
- Thanks to siminimonster and dystopianam (Their tumblr name) to have supported me during the creation of this mod.
- Thanks also to notegain (Their tumblr name) to have created the beautiful elf ears used to create this mod.
- Tranks to Sofmc9 to have converted me the animation of the "I can fly!" Interaction, for children.

Friday, November 25, 2011 - Ivan and Honza - Broke CZ Boys
Ivan and Honza - Broke CZ Boys
I really like Honza Forst and was very keen to get him in a duo, so I asked Boris to set this scene up, with Ivan Cakovsky. Ivan is a great performer, and it is always good to have an experienced guy with a novice. Honza resisted our overtures at first, but finally relented and agreed to do it. This is a Broke Czech Guys shoot, so you will here the directions given, telling the guys what to do. The scene starts with an interview and then the guys start to kiss. As they kiss Ivan removes Honza's pants, revealing a nice hard cock. He goes down and sucks on that cock. Ivan is expert at sucking and Honza lays back and lets him get on with it, sucking on the cock and balls. Then it is Honza's turn to suck Ivan. The look on Honza's face, as he realises what he is being asked to do, is priceless. But he does it, he starts to suck and seems to do it very well. As he sucks he wanks himself, keeping his dick nice and hard. He follows the instructions very well, licking up and down the shaft and sucking on the head. Then the guys move to a 69, both sucking before Ivan pulls Honza's legs up, exposing his ass. He rims that ass and fingers it, then as we get a real good look at the hole we see it is open nice and wide. Ivan shoves two fingers into ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Ivan Cakovsky brought his buddy David Slowik to casting. He told us that he and David were great friends and long time fuck buddies. They were very keen to show us what they do when they get together so we set this scene up for them. It starts with Ivan asleep on the couch, with his dick poking out of his underwear. He turns, in his sleep and we see a back view, with his ass in his underwear, with just a hint of crack showing. Then we see David standing and watching Ivan as he sleeps. David pulls his cock out of his jeans and starts to wank as he watches. Then he moves over to Ivan and starts to caress him. Ivan turns, onto his back, and his cock is hard now. David goes down and starts to lick Ivan's leg working up to his cock and takes it in his hand and sucks it. He runs his tongue over the hard cock and sucks it deep. Ivan wakes as he feels that mouth on his dick and he starts to moan with pleasure. That cock is rock hard in David's mouth. He pulls the slipys off Ivan and laps at his balls before moving up and kissing him. Ivan is very turned on and he removes David's jeans, to reveal that he is hard too, and starts sucking his cock. The guys are clearly into each other in a big way and move to a 69 with Ivan on top. He really sucks David hard and fast, with his own dick sliding down David's throat. Then he starts to fuck his cock into David's mouth. He wants more though and turns around so his ass is over David's face. David gets the message and his tongue rims that hot hole, then a finger goes in as well. Ivan is so horny now and he sits his ass on David's cock and really rides it, with his own cock rock hard as he feels his hole filled nice and deep. Ivan wants to flip, so he slides off David's dick and lifts his legs and shoves his own cock deep in David's ass. Ivan really loves that tight ass and his dick slams in and out, pulling all the way out and ramming in again. He pulls out againa and spits on the hole before shoving his cock in again. Then they change position with David sitting on that throbbing dick and riding it. Ivan fucks that ass so hard and wanks David's dick as he does it. Ivan then pulls David into a missionary position for even deeper fucking, which sends David over the top and he blows his load with Ivan's dick deep in his ass. Ivan is ready too and shoots his load all over David's hole, and then shoves his cock back inside. He then leans over and kisses David in thanks for a really hot fuck session. What a great scene, these guys really are into each other and it was great to see them do for us what they do regularly in private.

I have had the stomach flu from hell this week. Actually, it was a 24 hour bug, but the hangover lasted up through yesterday evening. I'm finally feeling quite a bit better. I'll even venture out and try to eat something tonight with MikeSC who arrived in Prague this afternoon with pumpkin and potato pies from South Carolina. Guess who gets the entire potato pie as the boys will not touch it? Last year Mike and I were snowed out of the re-enactment of the Battle of Austerlitz, or as the Czechs call it: The Battle of the Three Emperors. There's no snow predicted this year, which is great, but Mike brought decidedly colder weather with him from the other side of the pond. I apologize for not getting hair or beard trims, been too under the weather.
My pick is Milos Capek because of his lovely face.

Panel wall system upgrades thermal efficiency at Birmingham Airport
Undergoing a $201.6 million terminal modernization project, the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport in Alabama's largest city has improved its building envelope with the ACCEL-E steel thermal-efficient panel wall system. Manufactured by Pittsburgh-based Syntheon, the wall panels are a lightweight, high-performance solution that shortens construction time and improves energy efficiency by combining the performance of cold-formed steel framing with the insulation properties of expandable polystyrene. The ACCEL-E installation accounts for 106,000 sf of wall space for a new concourse at the airport.

Rubber flooring has physics students at Texas A&M 'walking on air'
At the George P. Mitchell '40 Physics Building on the Texas A&M University campus, in Corpus Christi, rubber flooring solutions from nora systems allow maintenance staff to quickly access the space under the floors when necessary. Designed specifically for raised-access flooring, norament ingresso uses four tabs to adhere the flooring tile to the raised-access panel, making it easy to remove the floor tile and reinstall it while providing convenient access to the panels underneath. The flooring also delivers sound absorption, durability, and low-maintenance features throughout the building, which experiences heavy foot traffic.

Wire mesh enlisted for student commons at Maryland's Towson University
Baltimore-based BWWO Architects, designer of the new West Village Commons, near Towson University, the second-largest university in Maryland, selected 3DZ-151 woven wire mesh from Milwaukee-based manufacturer Banker Wire for the building's staircase and second-floor atrium safety railings. The open-weave mesh is near opaque when viewed straight on, but becomes translucent when viewed at an angle. This feature provides students sitting on the atrium level with some privacy while also allowing light to easily pass through.
