Francisco Tarrega
(1852 – 1909)
Francisco Tarrega short biography
Universally hailed as the father of the modern classical guitar, Francisco Tarrega was one of the most influential guitarists ever. Tarrega was a student at the Madrid Conservatory, winning the first prizes in composition and performance. During his triumphal virtuoso career, Tarrega always tried to avoid big concert halls. This may be attributed to Tarrega's personal guitar technique: Tarrega never performed with nails that would increase the volume. A Parisian critic wrote: 'Tarrega captured the hearts of everyone'.

The money was originally meant to be used for purchase of Firearms and ammunitions. Because of my statue and closeness to the family, he confided in me with the relevant document papers relating to this Bank before he died of cancer.
In fact, I have adequately agreed with the family members to negotiate with you a trustworthy person to provide an account where this money could be transferred to your country through your Bank account, because we cannot claim the money. We have concluded all arrangement with an offshore Security Company to move this money through diplomatic means to a country where it could be directly transferred to your nominated account to ensure absolute safety and risk-free transfer of the money.

It's depressing to read outright hostile posts toward IT, especially from developers who've had bad experiences with their IT groups. IT and dev should be partners helping each other out; each knows things that the other doesn't, and when they both recognize this and work together, good things happen. When either IT or dev decide they don't need the other, both end up being very, very wrong.
The problem is they have different goals/masters
IT's bosses tell them "It's your job to keep everything up, running, and secure. That's all you are measured on"
Developers bosses tell them "It's you job to develop solutions for our customer. That's all you are measured on"
It's very simple for those two things to come into conflict, and now you have two sides both being incentivized to act contrary to each others interests.
IMO, this is a failure of management (especially IT management). It takes actual work to make sensible IT policies that ensure network and data security and integrity while still allowing people to get access to and use the IT resources they need to do their job in a seemless way. It is FAR easier to take a brute force approach and block everything, developers and users be damned, they aren't the ones signing my paycheck.
Well, there are places where having a personal cellphone inside the office building is also a firing offense, and possibly cause for an investigation as well. Conveniently, they provide nice little day-use lockers outside each entrance to make it easy to comply .
Are the patting you down at the door or something?
We have an "official" policy that no phone with a camera is allowed on campus. It's just a complete waste of ink and paper since it's impossible to enforce. That's always been my beef with onerous IT policies, they are like the War on Drugs: It's a battle that is impossible to win, all it does is make people hate the enforcers/police, and people keep using all the drugs they want.
People still work for companies that don't allow them to bring their own laptops? I thougth smartphones and tethering pretty much got every IT department to back off their network control policies related to workplace time/task enforcement...
We are heading in that direction, they are beefing up the on-campus wifi, which connects you to a separate guest network with access to everything. From that network you will be able to VPN into the work network, where all the security will live.

It was never really about the money, but at 3:55 p.m., the potential for Eddie Espinoza to be a millionaire still existed. The 71-year old retired box salesman stood in the winner's circle of the Santa Anita racetrack surrounded by people he loved, staring up at the big screen to watch the race that could change his life.
Espinoza had bet on all eight races at Santa Anita, and lost all of them, but none of those races involved California Chrome, the horse he's been banking on since April.
Espinoza got here by having the winning entry in the inaugural Santa Anita Derby Millionaire Contest, which would pay out $1,000,00 if the contestant could correctly pick a Triple Crown winner. The pick was California Chrome, the same horse that dominated the Santa Anita Derby a month before its Triple Crown bid began.
After Eddie chose his horse, Santa Anita placed a $7,500 bet for him at the Kentucky Derby and another $10,000 bet for him at the Preakness — a race that Espinoza and his wife, Susan, watched in Baltimore, thanks again to the track. So with the two wins, Eddie had already earned $49,000 before Saturday, and was also able to meet California Chrome and the horse's trainer, Art Sherman, at Pimlico.
The offer was on the table to fly to New York and watch the Belmont, but that would mean leaving behind what he cared about. Instead, more than 60 family members and friends from his church, St. Mary's Parish, came to the track.
"All my friends and family are here," Espinoza said before the race. "That's almost the best part of the whole thing. If he wins, great, but if he doesn't, hey, it's been a good ride."
He's been coming to Santa Anita for about 40 years, and more regularly in the last 20. His sister and niece don't get to leave the house much, but on Saturdays, the three of them go to the track. There's never a lot of money bet, maybe $20, but nothing beats the feeling of watching his niece and sister win. Espinoza could lose every bet, but if gets to see his niece smile and laugh, it's a good day.
After Espinoza's first wife died of cancer, he and Susan Otero met through a mutual friend. They were both in the corrugated box business until retirement, and have been married for 14 years.
As soon as Espinoza won the contest, he told his wife that he wanted to donate most of it to Saint Mary's. Sure, she said, but you also need to donate some to City of Hope, a nonprofit cancer-research organization. On Saturday, they stood in the winner's circle and stared at the big screen as California Chrome shot out of the gate. Espinoza watched calmly, while his wife was so nervous she bent over and put her hands on her knees. There they stood as California Chrome came to the head of the stretch but didn't have enough left to finish off the Triple Crown.
At 3:58, just like that, Espinoza's theoretical money was gone. He shrugged his shoulders and turned around, giving hugs and shaking hands. He was more emotional about thanking people for making the trip than he was about the race.
At 4:19, Espinoza returned back to his box.
All around him were people still grappling with the idea of losing something that he never actually had, still questioning what had just transpired, but there stood Espinoza, calm and smiling, surrounded by the only thing he really cared about all along.

Hmmm. Could this be true?
Last we heard, Uchi executive chef Tyson Cole was talking about expanding his sushi empire to Dallas. Uchi Houston opened on Lower Westheimer in February 2012 to rave reviews. Another spot in the Bayou City seems unlikely but definitely intriguing.
We checked in with Sam Davidson, who does marketing for the Austin-born restaurant group. Davidson told the Chronicle that there are no current plans to open a second store in Houston.
She added that currently they are eyeing opening a restaurant in Dallas in 2014, but there's nothing in the works for Houston.
Sorry, Heights.

As a note for Lunatic players or those planning to take it on in the future...
If you have Anna show up with a Master Seal after you finish a chapter before Chapter 13, SAVE IMMEDIATELY.
Yeah, I learned the hard way when I saw Anna show up with Master Seal in a town after Chapter 5. Bought it, then used Rift Door on another town and bought that Master Seal as well. Thinking it was predetermined, I class changed both Chrom and Avatar just for kicks, and decided to test them out in battle.
And when I reset? I loaded the postbattle save and instead of Anna, I get a random battle, one of the battles gets 2 units now (which means its harder to get the specific items), AND the rift door on the other town did NOT get me a Master Seal.
Son of a bitch.... I went from the best possible outcome (Promote gains are frigging OP in this game, like maybe ~25 points of stats, which is a GOD SEND in Lunatic early) to the worst possible one.
Only major downside to pairing up Chrom and Mage Avatar is that growth for their children is not optimized, but considering the limitless levelling up you can do in this game, it's really a non issue. The other minor downside is that you don't maximize the amount of Children that will get GaleForce.
And in Lunatic, you gotta make sure you get Speed upgrade on her first 3 level ups, or else those Myrmidons are gonna double attack her (and its usually lethal).

Lunatic has never been too fun for me. Not because it is too hard itself, but because you practically have to move a certain way in order to pass the maps. And even then, if your luck is bad...
Of course, there is a bit more freedom as you go into the game, but my patience doesn't last that long. Hard is good enough, hard, but you can pass the maps without having to look at the wiki. You can even raise Donnie (Donnel in the English game? Ranran~ ru~~?!).

The only difference: I still plan to pick up the game when it finally arrives at Gamestop (with hopes that my younger brother would be interested in it).

I was going to give up and sit back for a few weeks, then I decided not to risk a prolonged shortage. Picked mine up from a Target as well. The first one that listed it didn't have it- chalk it up to database inaccuracies. I then drove to one 10 miles away. In the few seconds I spent wandering around the display, another person showed up and got the clerk's attention. Good thing there were 2 copies. Came home and discovered that a Target much closer to me had updated its stock... but then again, it could be another error.
I cracked open the box to look at the manual... only to discover that the manual is a cheap foldout whose main purpose is to display the usual technical warnings. I'm new to the series, so I expect to make a lot of mistakes.
I just hope nobody looks at the downloadable sales numbers from desperate buyers and assumes that the appropriate response is fewer box copies, not more.

Went to EB where it was sold out as well and was quite pissed not because it wasn't there but because of how little they seemed to care about making sure I left with a favorable impression. No effort to advise me on when it might be in stock again,no effort to advise me that it could be purchased online which I already knew but both people said they didn't , just no effort period. I'm beginning to see why people resent gamestop/EB employees so much cause its so clear they have no idea whats going on in gaming half the time or how to satisty customers inquiries and are just coached to follow a script, push promotions and ask for insurance and such while ringing you out. I also don't appreciate how they try to scare you into buying hardware fast with the idea it might sell out. I genuinely now think they deliberately keep stock of certain things low or at least claim it is so they can run this scheme. Very poor impression of the chain now, really no excuse for this much ignorance in retail.
Anyway thank god for digital download, which yet again makes up for the failures of retail along with eBay. I already do very little shopping for games in stores and now plan even less.

^ Yep, no manual. Due to me going on a trip next week and maybe in transit more than I expected, I decided to go out and buy the 3DS + Fire Emblem bundle. I've been playing it on my commute to work! I was most disappointed that after purchasing it and getting all excited like a kid about maybe reading the manual -- there wasn't one. Still a fun game, but part of what irks me is I had become accustomed to FF Tactic's ability to get more information for every menu and item .. which is not available here. Certain things like any of the wireless features are nearly incomprehensible without trial and error.

You people...
I could never buy a digital version of something for this system the way it's set up. Especially FOR THE SAME PRICE! There is no account system for this you know, your download is limited to your system only. They should really adopt an account system like Steam and Steam Guard. But the way it's set up, I'm already hesitant to buy the digital only games.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The threat of inclement weather has altered the schedule, but the Yale baseball team will host historic rival Harvard for a four-game series beginning Saturday at 1 p.m. The squads will play a doubleheader on Saturday and then return to Yale Field on Monday at for a second twinbill (game time TBA). The Bulldogs enter the weekend at 16-18-1 overall and 3-9 in Ivy League play.
Yale snapped out of its slump at the plate in a big way on Wednesday, hammering host Quinnipiac for 18 runs, but still fell to the Bobcats in a wild non-conference clash by a score of 19-18. The Elis are now batting .303 as a team, led by a .375 batting average from senior Trygg Larsson-Danforth. On the hill, the Yale staff owns a 5.84 ERA.
Harvard (13-21, 6-6 Ivy) took two games from Ivy League powerhouse Brown last weekend to climb back to .500 at 6-6 in Ancient Eight play. The Crimson is batting .265 as a team and owns a team ERA of 7.77. Jeff Reynolds leads three Cantabs hitting better than .305, posting a .356 average with a team-best 21 RBI.
Harvard took three of four from the Bulldogs last season in Cambridge, but the Elis have not lost the season series at Yale Field since the 2002 campaign. The all-time series dates back to a July 25, 1869 tilt in Worcester, Mass., which the Crimson won by a 25-17 tally. The first game in New Haven between the perennial rivals was a 24-22 Harvard win on July 4, 1870.
Yale will be back in action on Tuesday, wrapping up the non-conference slate with a doubleheader against Holy Cross. First pitch from Yale Field is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

Carrie Underwood sees Mike Fisher as her equal, not her subordinate. So when the media refers to her hockey player husband as "Mr. Underwood," the singer is understandably upset.
"It made me feel awful," the country music superstar, 29, says in the February issue of Allure. "Somebody works real hard to make a name for themselves, a respectable name, and then it's 'Mr. Underwood.'"
Canadian-born Fisher, 32, was called "Mr. Underwood" many times when he was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators in February 2011, according to the "Blown Away" singer.
"He was drafted there, and that was the only team he had ever played for [in the United States]. He would have played and he wanted to play for Ottawa for his whole career. He had no say in any of it," Underwood says in her husband's defense. "[But] I love it that he's here."
Underwood is in it for the long haul with Fisher, despite what doubters say. "We've seen a lot of celebrities, professional athletes, not exactly always being on their best behavior away from girlfriends, wives, families," she says. "People would say, 'Do you ever worry that? You know, he's an athlete, he's young, he's good-looking?' And I've never had to worry about him, because I've never trusted anybody so completely. Or I didn't know the true meaning of trust. He just. . . He just wouldn't do that."

Though the "Before He Cheats" chart topper has often sung about heartbreak, the athlete makes her feel more loved than ever. "We want that person to be everything we've always wanted," Underwood tells Allure of her music. "If they're not Prince Charming, we try to make them Prince Charming. But Prince Charming does exist! I found one."

Pisi 1.0 beta v-3 (Sueño) on laptop
For a beta, this new-comer distro is behaving like a champ. BEsides those problems reported by Megatotoro here, the only issues I have experienced are the failure to launch of VLC and audacious. Other than that, this beta has been reliable, fast, and stable.
Mageia 3 DVDi586 on netbook
The installation went perfect but, oddly, the firmware for the wireless was not included and I ended up without Wi-fi. The problem got solved by manually installing the packages. This was a bit problematic because I forgot that one should not choose to add repos during the install and, therefore, Mageia 3 failed to get software sources. After a while, I simply added mirrors from MCC and the wi-fi was recognized. Although the touchpad is a bit crazy, the display problems that I encountered in Mageia 2 (screen edge cube effect) was gone. Oh, and I also got a perfectly functional iBus Japanese IME!
OpenMandriva LX Alpha (beta?)
This one was a bit tricky to install. After having failed several times, I read that there were some workarounds. I followed them and OpenMandriva was soon on one partition of my desktop PC.
There are some issues that I have been trying to fix, such as:
- No repos (fixed!)
- No access to my other partitions or to USB drives.
- Partial sound. After following the instructions to enable sound, I could not listen to the audio on a video (MP4) I have in /home. Since I cannot mount a USB drive, I cannot test with other types of video files. YouTube videos, however, do play after installing the flash package.
- No effects
Being an alpha, the issues are understandable. On the good side, it is responsive (boots really fast as compared to Mandriva 2011), looks nice (especially if you like the ROSA stuff), and has been working without crashing so far.
I'll keep working with these distros to see how they behave.

The Christian School of Grace Baptist Church seeks to prepare children to serve God in this life and the next, through teaching a knowledge of His Word and its application to our Christian faith and practice. This includes loving, sacrificial service to others. Using a traditional classroom approach to impart basic academic skills, students are taught by qualified, godly teachers who use a long-established course of study. The school strives to assist Christian parents with the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and creative development of their children.
Our students are continually reminded of the truth that they are creatures made in God's image and thus responsible to love Him with all their strength and mind (Luke 10:27). Bible study therefore is not the only class period for Christian instruction. Our teachers seek to point out that every exercise of the mind is to be in service to God and subject to His direction. Since we are preparing children to walk before the Lord, we labor to give them a Christian world and life view in all things. Because we strive to impress upon our students God's law, order and discipline will be expected of them.

In football, which operates on a tight cycle of coaching innovation and theft, it's rare to see enormous outliers. The college game is littered with coaches who found one legitimate schematic advantage, rode it for a year or two, watched it become the norm, and fell back to the pack once they could no longer distinguish themselves. You can no longer count on one hand the number of teams that run an "Air Raid" scheme, or dabble in a no-huddle offense. The "packaged plays" innovation that Chip Kelly popularized is catching on in much the same way. Early adapters reap the spoils, but if they don't continue to learn, they wind up more like ex-Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez—yesterday's innovator clinging to yesterday's fashions.
Then there's Baylor's Art Briles, rolling into this weekend with an undefeated record at a perennial doormat, with an outside shot at a national championship should Florida State or Alabama slip up.
The difference between your run-of-the-mill wunderkind football coach—say, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury or Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris—and Briles is largely a matter of what we'll call Football Things. Everyone involved in the sport in any way has to negotiate a certain amount of cognitive dissonance between long-held football shibboleths and the underlying truths of the game. The arguments can be simple: "Establishing the run is important if you want to win a football game." (The truth is that teams run because they're winning). Or complex: "Does the fact that this team with a terrible running game is good at play-action passes mean that the skill of the running game actually doesn't matter?" (Inconclusive. Anecdotally? No, it doesn't matter. )
We all start from that shared collective knowledge of football and let that understanding infect the questions we ask. Because we have become so used to our surroundings, our eyes glaze over when we see a running back plowing ahead for four yards on three carries while a team with a one-score lead tries to eat clock. That is a Football Thing. When a team faces a long third down and runs a screen that has little chance of gaining a first down without a catastrophic fuckup, that's a Football Thing. When a team is driving late in the fourth quarter and elects to kick a field goal on fourth-and-short even though the conversion would practically end the game, that's a Football Thing. Football Things aren't necessarily glaringly flawed ideas in terms of short-term payoffs, but if you add them up over time, the numbers aren't in their favor.
But most coaches are a product of Football Things. And no matter how many innovative schemes or neat plays they draw up, they remain that way.
Art Briles's success is based in part on a large inheritance—he didn't invent every concept he's using, though what coach ever did?—but the chief reason behind it is his willingness to push the successful trends of the day to their logical extremes, to take chances well outside the scope of accepted football protocol. To put it simply: He doesn't believe in Football Things.
Baylor's offense, by any objective measure, is ridiculous. Last week the Bears were without three of their top weapons, receiver Tevin Reese and running backs Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin, so they tapped the breaks in scoring only 63 points against Texas Tech at a neutral site. Football Outsiders' Fremeau Efficiency Ratings carries both opponent-adjusted and raw measures of offensive efficiency. Baylor has not played a tough schedule, so it's only sixth in opponent-adjusted efficiency. (All these numbers are through games of Nov. 16.) In raw efficiency? It's in first place by over .200, or the same difference between seventh-place Alabama and 17th-place Washington. The Bears have converted a first down or touchdown on 85.4 percent of its drives, first in the country. They are first in Explosive Drives, which denotes the percentage of drives their offense had that averaged 10 or more yards per play. More than a third—36.5 percent—of all Baylor drives average 10 or more yards per play.
Where does all this stem from? Well, as Chris Brown noted in his recent brilliant-as-usual profile of Briles, it starts with philosophy.
"We do not try to go to the body to set up the knockout shot," Briles said at a recent coaching clinic. "We try to score on every snap."
Football Thing devotees will tell you that you've always got to mix in the long ball. You can't make it the sole point of your offense. You certainly don't want to always throw deep, because you'll end up in a lot of third-and-longs, and you'll be predictable. Bill Connelly has been fiddling with a statistic that measures how well individual receivers have performed. Baylor wideouts Antwan Goodley and Reese (since injured) shook out as the No. 1 and No. 2 threats in the country, as of the last update. The big reason? They were No. 2 and No. 3 in yards per target, behind only Texas A&M's Mike Evans.
But notice that, unlike most aerial assaults of the past few decades, Baylor actually isn't passing that much. As Matt Hinton pointed out on Monday, of the 10 all-time best offenses measured by yards per game—a list that the Bears top for now, by the way—Baylor easily has the most prolific rushing attack. Only four of those 10 offenses averaged more than 230 rushing yards per game. One is 2005 USC. The other three are 2011 Baylor, 2012 Baylor, and 2013 Baylor. The best chance to score may not be Goodley over the top against a given defense. It might be getting a matchup with Seastrunk or Shock Linwood against a safety, where one missed tackle sends them to the races.
There's nothing exceedingly fancy about what the Bears' offense is doing; they're just combining all the latest concepts with the willingness to take calculated risks that go against the mainstream. They run packaged plays. They run no-huddle almost exclusively. They don't care about time of possession. Baylor's closest call all season, a 35-25 escape from Manhattan against Kansas State, involved the Wildcats running for 327 yards and chewing up nearly 40 minutes of clock. Didn't matter. By no-huddling all the time, Baylor is showing supreme confidence in its offense. It won't come through on every down, but Briles's philosophy is about creating small advantages that he knows will assert themselves in the long run, the way the house knows the percentages are ultimately on its side. And, in Manhattan, that's precisely what happened. Baylor scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to take the lead and salt the game away.
One of the major points of Brown's piece is the wide splits the Baylor wide receivers take. Having your offense do this means you're essentially trading out-breaking route concepts for geometry. As a result, defenses have a lot more ground to cover, and that extra ground means the safeties have to take wider splits, the cornerbacks are forced to the edges, and the middle of the field becomes much more important. This is a boon not only to the passing game, but to the running game. Here's an example Matt Waldman used in his Futures piece on Seastrunk. This is from Baylor's game against West Virginia earlier in the year.
Notice how the wide split of the receivers creates bad tackling and pursuit angles for defensive backs against Seastrunk. The linebackers become vitally important; miss a tackle, and Seastrunk has open space downfield and blockers to work with because no receiver has run his way out of the play. Once Seastrunk is past the line of scrimmage, nobody has a prayer. It's not just that he's a talented back—though of course he is; it's that this particular set has a high potential to create a big play if he can make a tackler miss.
Nothing the Bears do is completely foreign to other offenses. The difference is the degree to which they do it. Other teams will run packaged plays in which the aim of some of the reads isn't anything more ambitious than snagging four or five yards and setting up second-and-short. Baylor runs packaged plays in which the aim is deciding which one offers the highest chance of ending with a Bears player in the end zone.
My favorite Briles quote comes from his pre-season interview with Spencer Hall. Hall asks him where he starts working when he realizes he has fewer resources:
The mind. Without question. Everything's about your mental attitude, and how you approach it, and how you get to where you wanna get. You have to understand that the field may not be equal from a lot of different standpoints — resources, facilities, support, fan support — but all those things, if you let them filter in, you lose sight of your focus. Our focus has always been that we're gonna be the standard, we're gonna do what we do and do it as well as anyone does it, and we're not gonna have any excuses or comparisons along the way. That's our motto: no excuses, no comparisons, and no compromises.
That is an intellectual quote from a man who will not be trapped by his circumstances, from someone who sees the field around him as it's changing and tries to anticipate where things will go from there.
Baylor has produced Robert Griffin III, Kendall Wright, and Terrance Williams, among others, in recent drafts. The school isn't bereft of talent, but it also isn't a football factory. It'd be impossible to build a successful program there out of just one scheme or wrinkle. Briles is doing more than riding a gimmick. For Baylor to rise out of the Waco dirt, the very concept of football had to be carefully considered; it had to be stretched to its extremes.
If you're an analytics nerd, this is especially satisfying to watch. You're used to seeing unconventional ideas ignored or belittled at best condescended to in the mainstream. At Baylor, the idea has its day.
On Saturday, Baylor trounced another Air Raid offense, Texas Tech, and it was like looking at the same species in separate stages of its evolution, the Red Raiders (yesterday's innovators) with their "traditional" spread and the Bears with their wiiiide splits. It's the difference between a team that believes in an offense, and a team that believes in the idea behind the offense.
There's real bliss in watching this unfold—in watching a thesis work its way to a conclusion. When you see a coach like Art Briles finding success at the limits of football, it validates a lot of the thinking that we have put in to trying to find the real "book" of the game, underneath all those Football Things. Briles isn't a pure outsider by any stretch of the imagination—he climbed his way up from the Texas high school football ranks and has worked a long time to get to where he is today—nor is he a theoretician. He's a guy laboring under externally imposed limitations that both require and allow him to experiment; what makes him unique is that he's both brave enough to do so and smart enough to do it well.

Yoga for health and well-being accessible to everyone
Yoga on Yamhill is dedicated to the practice and teaching of yoga. Our teachers are committed professionals with a wide range of backgrounds who share a common vision of making the ancient science of yoga accessible to all people. We foster a non-competitive, "stay in your own practice" approach, encouraging awareness of pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation, in addition to the asanas (postures) to bring the practice of yoga to a deeper level.
We want to create a mutually respectful, self-responsible, positive yoga environment where all paths are honored. We support our ideology by offering several yoga classes per week that are open to all levels of yoga experience. Our teachers teach to whomever attends class - beginners and advanced students are often on mats right next to each other. These classes offer a safe and comfortable space to explore the practice of yoga.
What do the classes cost?
What do the classes cost?
Yoga on Yamhill is a donation based yoga studio, there is no membership to join or per class fee that you are required to pay. However, donation basis does not mean free. Donation itself is the act of giving, just like the dedicated instructors teaching the classes are donating their time and experience. The rent for the studio and the pay the instructors receive are only provided by the donations you make.
How does this work?
Simply come down at a scheduled class time and experience one of the several styles of yoga we offer, on your way out, you are welcome to drop a donation in the box. All of our classes and workshops are offered on a donation basis. The amount you donate is up to you. The suggested donation is $8-$12, however we do not want to prevent anyone from practicing yoga because they can't afford it. We simply believe that yoga is for everyone who wants to participate.
Do you have Yoga Mats?
Yes, we have mats for you to use, free of charge.
As a Beginner, What can I expect from yoga?
When you start practicing yoga you will find that it works on several levels. As a beginner, you will experience the practice of yoga as a form of physical exercise that challenges and refines your flexibility, strength and balance. You will learn to control your breathing in a relaxed and controlled manner that helps provide focus in the different postures you will move through. Learning to do this properly is the path to many of the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga. As the individuals yoga practice deepens, greater flexibility of mind and body is achieved. Yoga matches development of physical strength with emotional strength, this empowers the practitioner to face life's challenges with a balanced disposition.

>Peter Fonda, on how the president is "a fucking traitor" for his handling of the BP oil spill:
"I'm training my grandchildren to use long-range rifles. For what purpose? Well, I'm not going to say the words 'Barack Obama', but….it's more of a thought process than an actuality, but we are heading for a major conflict between the haves and the have nots. I came here many years ago with a biker movie and we stopped a war. Now, it's about starting the world. I prefer to not to use the words, 'let's stop something'. I prefer to say, 'let's start something, let's start the world'."
Um, yeah, that whole linking of arming grandchildren to shoot and president Obama, sounds a little threatening, dontcha think, Pete?
I agree that the gulf between the rich and everyone else is goring ever wider, but arming anyone is not the solution.
Put the teabags away and take a nap, Pete.
Michelle Obama, slyly, maybe, mentioning to gay families in speech to graduates at West Point:
"I ask you to remember that family has always been a centerpiece of our American story. No matter how you've grown up, no matter how you define family, all of you have someone in your life who believed in you and pushed you."
No matter how you define family.
Two parents, mommie and daddy.
One parent, mommie or daddy.
Two parents, mommie and mom, or daddy and dad.
It shouldn't make a difference how your family looks, all that matters is that they love you and nurture you and help you through life.
You go, Michelle.
Linda Harvey, of the Southern Poverty Law Center-certified hate group, Mission America, claiming that GLSEN [Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network] advocates for….wait for it….pedophilia:
"GLSEN poses as a 'gay rights' and 'anti-bullying' group for youth, going to bat for them on issues like discrimination. But GLSEN is actually a threat to children, unless parents don't care about their kids being drawn into early deviant sexual activity, or learning to approve of sinful, God-defying behaviors without the parents' knowledge. To put it bluntly, when you think GLSEN, think 'children and bodily fluids.' Yes, it's that bad. Behind GLSEN's window-dressing rhetoric about safe schools, bigotry, 'homophobia', oppression, and concerns about harassment, lies the reality: advocacy of actual homosexual sex, sometimes implicit, sometimes very explicit, even for young kids. And sometimes it's with adults."
So this 'education network' which seeks to help all kids understand what it means to be gay, and to grow up accepting and tolerant and understanding of people with different orientations and gender identities, is actually a front for pedophiles?
Linda, you need to get a large spoon and dig your head out of your ass.
You cannot advocate sex. Sex is; homosexual or heterosexual. It is. Unless you think that other groups advocate for heterosexual sex?
And GLSEN has nothing to do with pedophilia.
Seriously, get that spoon and start digging.
Charles Barkley, on gay players in the NBA:
"First of all, every player has played with gay guys. It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play."
Nice to hear another POV from a professional athlete.
Nicer than Kobe Bryant and Joakim Noah, with their faggot comments.
It shouldn't matter anywhere, at work, at play, what your sexual orientation might be. It should only matter that you can do the job, or play the game.
Veteran NYC sports radio announcer Jared Max, coming out on his radio show:
"Are we ready to have our sports information delivered by someone who is gay? We're going to find out. Because for the last 16 years I've been living a free life among all my close friends and family. But I've been living behind what is a gargantuan size secret in the sports world. I am gay. Yeah, Jared Max, the sports guy with one of the most familiar voices in New York sports isn't quite like the majority."
Welcome out, Jared, welcome out.
And you are simply showing the world, as has Don Lemons and Rick Welts and Will Sheridan and Scott Norton–who've all come out in recent weeks–that we are all kinds of people, doing all kinds of jobs, and our sexual orientation should make no difference at all.
Naturally, you'll be receiving the complimentary toaster oven and copy of the Gay Agenda.
Director Lars von Trier, who has been banned by Cannes, for his Hitler remarks:
"I really wanted to be a Jew and then I found out that I was really a Nazi because my family was German….Which also gave me some pleasure…What can I say? I understand Hitler…I think I understand the man, he's not what you would call a good guy. But I understand much about him. And I sympathize with him a little bit. I'm not for the Second World War. I'm not against Jews. I'm very much for Jews. No not too much, because the Israelis, a pain in the ass…Okay, I'm a Nazi."
This is a prime example of someone who doesn't think before he speaks.
I got nothin' else on this one.
It's too disturbing……
Naturally, shortly after this vomitous statement, Von Trier apologized: "If I have hurt someone this morning by the words I said at the press conference, I sincerely apologize. I am not antisemitic or racially prejudiced in any way, nor am I a nazi."
Maggie Gallagher, on The Gay Agenda:
"Surrendering on the legal definition of 'civil marriage' is not a prelude to winning any of those other deeper battles. It is a prelude to an ever deeper surrender to the main idea now being propagated: if you believe in the message of Genesis, as repeated by Jesus—that marriage from the beginning has been the union of male and female, husbands and wives called to give themselves to each other and to their children—then you are a bad person. You are like a racist. You should be ashamed and shamed in public. You should, ideally, lose your job."
Here's another thing, Mags, Jesus is love. I don't think he'd want you all, standing up and denigrating an entire group of people in his name.
Sure, you can toss around specific Bible passages that you say bolster your claims, but there are just as many passages that don't.
If you boil it down to it's purest form, God is love.
And what you're doing is not.
See, you can dislike me for being gay, and think your Bible damns me to hell for it, but you cannot use your misunderstanding of the word of God to legislate against me. That is no very Christ-like, is it?
Actor Armie Hammer, on the "weird hype" surrounding his man-on-man kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood's J Edgar Hoover movie:
"It's the same kind of thing as if you walk onto a set and they hand you a machine gun and [say], 'Shoot this like you know what you're doing' — you can't grab that thing and go, 'uh…' — you kind of have to go, 'Okay, I know what I'm doing,' and you've just got to go for it. It wasn't that weird — I have never kissed a guy — it's not something I'm going to do in my private life, but at the end of it I was, like, man, there is a lot of weird hype."
It is kind of odd, because when an actor plays a murderer or a rapist or pedophile or adulterer, the press never seems to assume they are like that in real life.
But play gay, and everyone assumes you're gay.
And kiss a guy on film and there's this almost juvenile nervous giggle that permeates every interview, like you're expected to say that the kiss turned you gay. Or loudly profess your heterosexuality.
That said, the idea of seeing Armie Hammer kissin' a guy has got me a bit riled up, so to speak.
Carlos and I are off for a weekend in Atlanta, so, except for a few preplanned funny, gossipy, catty, cartoony posts, I won't be around this weekend. But I will say Hello to Patti LuPone for ya'll, though.

Otorohanga - New Zealand's Official "Kiwiana Town"
Otorohanga is NZ's official "Kiwiana Town" and famous for its Kiwi House & Native Bird Park. It's just 2 hrs south of Auckland and 15 minutes from Waitomo
1 / 10
Well, just where is Otorohanga?
It's 45 minutes south of Hamilton and surrounded by rolling green hills in the northern King Country. Fabulous West Coast beaches at Kawhia, Aotea and Marokopa are less than an hour away and it's only 15 minutes to the world famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Black Water Rafting and adventure caving attractions.
It's also is a busy, attractive rural town and for forty years it's been home to the Otorohanga Kiwi House & Native Bird Park.
This is an amazing, intimate Wildlife Sanctuary, which has done (and continues to do) ground breaking work in the conservation and breeding of our most important national icon, the Kiwi bird…..plus a whole host of other endangered native species.
Not surprisingly, Otorohanga became known as the 'Kiwi Town'. Then, in 1999, a clever design consultant, David Walmsley, suggested that Otorohanga extend its claim to fame (i.e. 'Making the Kiwi Connection') to include the 'Kiwiana' concept.
A group of enthusiastic, local volunteers (Project Kiwiana) were up for the challenge and the theme of 'Kiwiana… and all things Kiwi' was adopted to add to the town's special identity.
'Kiwiana' is defined as: "any of the many 'collectibles', items redolent of New Zealand life and culture"-(Oxford New Zealand Dictionary)
No one else had done it, so Otorohanga claimed the Kiwiana theme! In 2002 then-Prime Minister, Helen Clark, confirmed that Otorohanga was the "Kiwiana Town of New Zealand".
The signed, framed declaration was presented to the town by the late Sir Ed Hillary and is now proudly displayed in the Otorohanga Council building.
Otorohanga's version of "Kiwiana" is light-hearted and fun; even the mayoral chains are pure Kiwiana kitsch– a series of souvenir badges and a large paua-shell kiwi stuck to a paua coaster!
Mayor, Dale Williams, says proudly: "They're our take on ceremonial chains. I wear them at formal events. We don't get hung up on the cost. It's more about the bling!"
Otorohanga portrays 'Kiwiana' as a celebration of our popular culture – New Zealand's icons, heroes and traditions. It's everything from the Kiwi, Buzzy Bee, Paua and Pavlova to Sir Ed Hillary, Bruce McLaren, Colin Meads and the All Blacks - from Shearing, Sheep Dog Trials and No. 8 Wire to the Haka, Hangi and "Pokarekare Ana".
Today the town's main street (Maniapoto Street / State Highway 3) is full of Kiwiana memorabilia.
There are Kiwiana murals, large corrugated iron kiwis at the town's entrances, 14 Kiwiana icon 'cut outs' hanging from the lamp posts - even the Public Toilets have an inside/outside Kiwiana theme!
The exterior is sign written with a collection of Kiwi terms like, " Wharepaku, Long Drop, Dunny, Bog, Loo, Little House, Privy & Powder Room"…..
Pride of place, however, goes to the Ed Hillary Walkway in the middle of town; it's next door to the ANZ bank and opposite the 'Village Green'.
The Walkway is an arcade lined with 14 Kiwiana displays depicting everything from Pavlova (a NZ invention commonly disputed by Australia!) the ANZAC story, School Milk and Sir Ed Hillary to the All Blacks, Team NZ and Aunt Daisy.
There are also large poster displays on Kiwi Slang, the Haka, Votes for Women, Bungy Jumping, the Kiwi House, the Silver Fern, and the NZ Flag. Another 14 Kiwiana display cases are set inside retail windows along the main street.
Thanks to the inclusion of Kiwiana in the primary school curriculum, thousands of school children from around New Zealand have visited Otorohanga to study the town's Kiwiana displays.
And it's only a 5-minute drive from the main street Kiwiana displays to the Otorohanga Kiwi House with its impressive displays of Kiwi, native birds and reptiles. It has the country's largest public collection of NZ bird and reptile species and is open daily (except Christmas Day).
The Kiwi House also boasts some of the best viewing of awake and active Kiwi; in fact it guarantees that all visitors will see a Kiwi.
There's a massive, domed, walk-through aviary in a native forest setting, numerous ponds and wetland areas for ducks, herons and water fowl, plus unique and ancient tuatara - direct descendents of prehistoric reptiles.
Otorohanga is also well known for its hanging baskets of seasonal flowers lining both sides of the main street. State Highway 3 bisects the busy, attractive town centre with its great range of shopping and cafes.
There's even a coffee roaster and espresso bar in the historic, renovated railway station just through the Ed Hillary Walkway.
Central to the town is the aptly named 'Village Green' opposite the Ed Hillary Walkway.
Beautifully carved Pou Pou (Maori totem poles depicting local ancestors) stand in front of the grass oval outside the stylish District library and Kiwiana-themed Otorohanga i-SITE Visitor Information Centre.
Otorohanga is thriving, small, friendly and attractive – easily accessed from major centres, but far enough away to give visitors a sense of rural, 'heartland' New Zealand at its best!

Garden: Poa Jardinería (Eduardo Zárate)
Site Area: 626,79 sqm
Constructed Area: 388,97 sqm
The basic idea of this Wondrous House consists in the location of a monolithic concrete and glass volume over a timber platform located at the edge of a cliff in order to enjoy the amazing view of the 300m cliff, a 1000m long black sand beach, mount Teide and all the north coast of Tenerife island.
Bedroom and service areas are located in a one storie rectangular volume which enters into a double high volume containing the living-room, studio and kitchen. Both volumes organize an L-shape around the black paddle located at the edge of the platform so water surface gets mixed with the one of the sea, so all the areas of the house enjoy the views underlined by wood and water.
A gym is located in the basement with direct access from the terrace and views to the inside of the pound through a glass wall. The interior and exterior finishing of the closed volume consists in treated concrete while complete walls are used in the facades facing the views.
Protection is solved with timber shuts in the bedroom area and outside canvas stores in the living room. A steel and wood freestanding canopy provides shadow to the central part of the terrace.
Gardening, based in the use of local cliff species, is located in the slope between the street and the built volume so the house seems to be inserted into the natural cliff.

Richard Rossi's Vita
Dr. Richard Robert Rossi, Conductor, Pianist, Organist, Countertenor, & Composer
EIU 360 on Richard Robert Rossi: http://www.eiu.edu/eiu360/story.php?id=229024&autoplay=1#top_story
A native of Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York, Richard grew up in Virginia Beach, VA, where he began to carry on a family tradition of making great music. His father, Anthony F. Rossi, studied opera at the Juilliard School of Music and sang professionally in a number of Broadway musicals. In fact, Anthony met his soon-to-be bride, Barbara Winfield, while the couple toured together in the Broadway touring production of South Pacific.
Richard holds a DMA in Conducting from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, an MFA in both orchestral and choral conducting from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, a BM in music education with a concentration in piano and organ from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, and a Master of Divinity from Saint Vincent Seminary. Over the years, Richard has studied with many renowned maestros including (in alphabetical order): Vance George, Juan Pablo Izquierdo, Dennis Keane, Don Moses, Robert Page, Donald Schleicher, Fred Stoltzfus, and Sandra Willetts.
Presently, Richard is Director of Orchestral and Choral Activities at Eastern Illinois University where he directs the Eastern Symphony Orchestra, Eastern Symphony Chamber Orchestra, Concert Choir, Oratorio Society and teaches both graduate and advanced undergraduate conducting and organ. Other courses include: University Mixed Chorus, undergraduate conducting, choral arranging, class voice and studio voice as needed. In the Fall of 2006 Richard established and directed both the Sinfonia and the Camerata Singers as part of the Collegium Musicum (Early Music Ensembles) at EIU. Richard actively recruits undergraduate music students throughout the state and graduate conducting students both nationally and internationally. In addition to his teaching, performing and recruiting schedule, Richard finds time to raise almost $500,000.00 for the department as of Spring 2014.
Richard has conducted many choirs, orchestras, operas and musical theater productions in his career both locally and nationally. Serving as the chorus master for several seasons with the Illinois Symphony Orchestra & Chorus in Springfield, Illinois, Rossi conducted such works as Fantasia on Christmas Carols by R. V. Williams, Fauré, Mozart and Duruflé Requiem's as well as others. Opera performances include Dialogue of the Carmelites and Die Fledermaus while he resided in the Pittsburgh, PA. In the Fall of 1999 while working on his doctorate, Richard was appointed the Conductor of the University of Illinois Main Stage Opera Production of The Barber of Seville by Rossini. This was the first time a graduate student received the honor of conducting an opera. That same year, Richard was awarded the ALEX Award in the performing arts category from the National Alliance for Excellence from New Jersey; he was chosen as the most out-standing student conductor in America.
In addition to his extensive conducting schedule, Richard continues to perform recitals as a concert pianist, accompanist and organist. In addition, he has had an extensive singing career as a countertenor. Solo performances include the Peri/Caccini opera L'Euridice, a historical performance, Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Purcell's Ode to St. Cecilia and Come Ye Sons of Art and Orff's Carmina Burana. Richard has also appeared as a vocal and harpsichord soloist including appearances on WILL's Second Sunday Concerts. Richard also sang professionally as the countertenor soloist at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Pittsburgh. He can also be heard as one of the soloists in the recording of Leonardo Balada's Torquemada, nominated for a Pulitzer Prize recorded while attending Carnegie Mellon University.
Richard was one of the original founding members of the acclaimed vocal ensemble Choragós at the University of Illinois. The six-member Choragós Ensemble was formed in the Fall of 1999 at the request of the Alamire Foundation, based in Leuven, Belgium. Performances include Medieval and Renaissance Conference in Jena, Germany, including tours to Berlin and Weimar. Additionally, the group performed several concerts in France (July 2003), the American Choral Director's Association National Convention in San Antonio, Texas (March 2001), the American Musicological Society International Conference in Toronto, Ontario (November 2000), and the Alamire Conferences held in Belgium, Tours & Germany. Other performances include the University of Illinois Krannert for the Performing Arts Summer Series.
Prior to living in the Midwest, Richard spent many years in the Pittsburgh area, where he was Conductor/Music Director of The Saint Vincent Camerata for ten years, and the founder and director of The Saint Vincent Camerata Chamber Orchestra, The Saint Vincent College Singers, Troubadours and The Abbey Singers (a professional vocal sextet) who in 1996 had the privilege of performing with The Pittsburgh Symphony under the direction of Marvin Hamlisch in "A Search for a Star" competition in which the ensemble won first place. While at Saint Vincent, Richard directed and produced many recordings that continue to be aired on local and national public radio. Recordings include Mozart's Requiem, Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass, and Fauré's Requiem as well as some of Rossi's own compositions.
In addition to his conducting, composing, teaching, singing and playing career, Richard is the organist at First Presbyterian Church in Champaign since 1998. In his "free time," Richard composes sacred and secular music for performance and publication through Colla Voce Publication, G.I.A. Publ., MusicSpoke and Santa Barbara Publications. Colla Voce selected Richard as composer of the Month in September 2013 and most recently MusicSpoke chose Rossi's setting of the Ave Maria as the "Score for the Week" on September 21, 2016.

When you've unearthed your franchise quarterback, life is good.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll found his man in Russell Wilson, but he refuses to take credit for an in-house strategy that saw Seattle pluck the passer in Round 3 of last year's draft.
Top 10 quarterbacks 25 or under
Buoyed by the draft class of 2012, the NFL has a surplus of promising young passers. Around the League counted down the top 10 QBs 25 years old or under.
» No. 10: Josh Freeman
» No. 9: Andy Dalton
» No. 8: Sam Bradford
» No. 7: Ryan Tannehill
» No. 6: Matthew Stafford
» No. 5: Russell Wilson
» No. 4: Cam Newton
» No. 3: Colin Kaepernick
» No. 2: Robert Griffin III
» No. 1: Andrew Luck
"(General manager) John (Schneider), he wanted to go in the second round with it," Carroll told fans at Wednesday night's annual Town Hall meeting, via theSeahawks' official website. "He was willing to do it and take him right there. ... We had had a plan to wait until the third round. But as the first round came and then the second, John was starting to get antsy because he just didn't want to miss (out on Wilson)."
The Seahawks instead selected middle linebacker Bobby Wagner in Round 2 -- by all accounts a successful pick -- but Carroll emphasized that Wilson burned on Schneider's radar from the quarterback's early days at Wisconsin.
Said Carroll: "I can't remember if it was the Michigan State game or the Oregon game -- I think it was the Michigan State game (in 2011) -- he called me after the game and said, 'The field just tilted in this guy's direction.' He said, 'When you watch the game, he's the only guy you could watch,' because he was just so magical in the things that he could do."
Carroll laughed off the notion that Wilson's 5-foot-11 stature was a pre-draft concern: "We didn't care about that.... Sometimes conventional wisdom isn't the right one."
It's well-established that the Seahawks think differently about team-building. Carroll and Schneider haven't hit on every move, but they'll be talking about the Wilson pick for years to come in the proud Northwest.

Fendi Mini Peekaboo In GazalleCategories:Other Brands
There's no denying the high that Fendi has been on lately, what with their new bags, especially those in the small and mini sizes that have become street style darlings in their own right. From the By The Way and the Mini Adele to the Petite 2Jours, it's officially the smaller the better now over at the Italian house, and now there's something new to covet.
Ok, so the Peekaboo isn't exactly new, but with the Mini Peekaboo in at least 15 different combinations for F/W14, it might as well be a new bag altogether. From those swathed in shearing to those in shiny crocodile and even one covered in a shimmery metallic fringe, you'll most definitely find one in a finish that you like.
And then there's this, the Mini Peekaboo in Gazalle that's part-high society lady and part-punk, all lush with a strip of fur in bright neon that's just pure fun. Measuring almost 23 cm across by 18 cm, the Mini Peekaboo is no different from her bigger siblings, and you'll find all the bells and whistles usually associated with this style, from its handy shoulder sling to the framed top with double-sided turn lock closures.
Priced at SGD5305 (prices have also gone up in general, but because this one is in fur it would naturally cost more), you can find this version (shown above) and another in red with a bright pink 'tail' now at Fendi boutiques locally.

FENDI PEEKABOO BAG WITH PYTHON STITCHESCategories:Other Brands
If you get to pick only one of Fendi's trendiest bags, make sure you get to take home its iconic Peekaboo bag. Yes, the Peekaboo line has been in existence in the fashion world since its Spring/Summer 2009 collection therefore owning one is already a bragging right.
Ever wondered why it's called Peekaboo? Some theorized that it was derived from the favorite classic childhood game as the top flaps can be opened easily and shut very quickly thus giving you easy access.
Over the years, we have seen how the Peekaboo bag has evolved as it came in different materials, sizes and styles. The original verison comes in satchel material while the latest one comes with python stitches.
We love how dark and vampy the red color is on this Peekaboo bag. It is even made even prettier by the python stiches on the sides and mind you, the handles are also made from python leather thus giving it a touch of glamour and style. Imagine walking down the street wearing a crisp and clean white dress, black pumps while wearing this peekaboo bag on your hands. We could only imagine divine perfection at its finest.

Fendi Micro Peekaboo Tote: Micro-ExpressionCategories:Other Brands
How small is too small? Fendi is one brand that's willing to test the limits of the baby-sized "carryall." Their Peekaboo tote is quite possibly the most overrated bag of all time, but I love it so much I can't resist, even in beyond-shrunken micro size. To call this a "mini bag" would be a major understatement. This tote is so tiny a cell phone doesn't even fit in it (while a Monster Baguettesurprisingly fits an iPhone 6, plus a lot more).
So instead of trying to figure out how to make this work as a functional bag, let's just call it the world's most expensive coin purse, adorable in both bright pink and yellow. Or a relatively oversized bag charm, particularly on your full-sized Peekaboo tote – which is just how these small wonders were styled on the Spring '15 runway. Because it literally holds nothing. Fendi Micro Peekaboo in pink or yellow on Farfetch for $1,550.
Pair with: The medium Peekaboo in dark gray and white woven leather will make a great neutral complement to one of these punchy little bags.

In recent years as more research has been published, the mental health and medical communities have begun to accept that SM is a safe, legitimate pursuit.
According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) which defines currently recognized mental disorders, SM per se is NOT a mental disorder. In their diagnostic criteria for both sexual masochism and sexual sadism, the DSM-IV states that SM only becomes a diagnosable dysfunction when:
"the fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning."
In addition, the DSM-IV clearly allows for non-pathological sexual behavior:
"a paraphilia must be distinguished from the non-pathological use of sexual fantasies, behavior or objects as a stimulus for sexual excitement."
[The entire diagnostic criteria for sexual masochism and sexual sadism are reproduced Appendix A.]

I love big, thick lipstick pencils. After lip stains, I would say that's my next favorite kind of lip product. They can act like lip liners and lipstick, all in one product… what's not to love there?
Next time you see a NYX display, you have to check out their Jumbo Lip Pencils. They are wallet friendly at under $4 each and they are fantastic. They are long lasting, super creamy, well pigmented and they leave a nice, soft shine on the lips. I seem to rack up the compliments on my lip color when I wear these.
A word of advice here, do not base your decision on the "swatches" displayed on NYX's website. Those swatches are awful and do not do these lip pencils any justice at all. If you can, try to see them in person or check out these swatches from Makeup Geek. Chances are it's not going to be your skintone but you should be able to see the difference.
Have you tried NYX's Jumbo Lip Pencils? What did you think? Let us know in the comments.

- "Jaime smashed the Riverlords at the Golden Tooth, and now lays siege to Riverrun."
- ―Ser Kevan Lannister
The Battle of the Golden Tooth was the opening battle in the War of the Five Kings, which erupted after the death of King Robert Baratheon.
Season 1
Leading a host of 30,000 troops from the Westerlands Ser Jaime Lannister is ordered to attack the Riverlands by his father Tywin Lannister. The assault is intended as retribution for the abduction of Tyrion Lannister by Catelyn Stark, a daughter of House Tully, the ruling house of the Riverlands. The Riverlords gathered to defend themselves at the Golden Tooth, where they were defeated by Jaime's forces, and retreated to the regional capital of Riverrun. Jaime harried their retreat and then laid siege to Riverrun.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the battle of Golden Tooth is fought between Jaime's forces and a force of Riverlords led by Lord Clement Piper and Lord Vance of Wayfarer's Rest. The Riverlords had been sent into the Westerlands at Golden Tooth by Ser Edmure Tully to prevent the Lannister army from crossing into their lands. However, the battle was a failure in the face of Jaime's devastating attack. Lord Vance is killed and Lord Piper retreats to Riverrun with Jaime at his heels.

It's a three-minute, 22-second video featuring nude women, raw egg play and a dead blue chicken. Porn or not porn?
Not porn, says Coco Young, the Columbia University student who made the video.
In an interview with CBS New York, Young says the "Initiation" was an exploration of female sexuality and desires, raising questions about gender equality and sexism.
"Personally, like, when I think of porn, I think of sexual intercourse. I think of full nudity," Young said in the interview. "Those two things are not in our video."
The short video takes place in Butler Library and in other places inside the New York City university. The cast of students and artists run around the campus, rub raw eggs on each other and at one point, use a dead blue chicken as a stencil to draw on each others backs.
CBS New York interviewed students at the campus who thought the whole thing was a bit disturbing. The university has yet to make an official response to the video.
