If so what's the best deal you've bargained for or your parents have?
Of course. There's nothing like a good bartering session.
When I was 10 I haggled with some fella for Italy vs. Norway tickets at the World Cup (France '98).
If I'm ever in shops that are sketchy, like in markets or often in other countries, I'll always barter. The prices they say to you are often more than double the value of the product, bollocks am I paying that!
When I was in Mexico I haggled with a vendor who was trying to sell me a silver chain necklace for $120 talked him down to $25.
Unless im in a foreign country I don't Haggle
It depends on the original price of the thing
If its off a car boot and its a console and the bloke says fiver ill take it

4-year-old takes flight in high winds
LYNDHURST (AP) -- High winds that blew through the Cleveland area knocked a little girl off her feet, literally.
Brittany Gardner, posted a video on Facebook of her 4-year-old daughter, Madison, opening the storm door to a home on Wednesday only to be blown off the steps. She is seen desperately clinging to the door handle while her mom runs to her rescue.
Gardner told WJW-TV that Madison held on to the door handle until she came to take her down. She says her little girl "is totally OK."
The mom had some fun with it, setting her Facebook video to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly With Me." It had been viewed more than 300,000 times as of early Friday.
Driver pleads to crashing car into house, killing 1
ELYRIA (AP) -- The driver of a car that crashed into a northern Ohio home and killed a woman sitting on a couch has pleaded guilty to charges including aggravated vehicular homicide.
The Chronicle-Telegram in Elyria reported 25-year-old Adrianna Young pleaded guilty Thursday in Lorain County to charges of aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular homicide, possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence.
Authorities say the Oberlin woman crashed into the Amherst Township home in July 2015, killing 34-year-old Debra Majkut and injuring Majkut's son.
Authorities say Young veered off the road, drove over a slanted cellar door and went airborne into the house. Authorities say Majkut's 5-month-old son was sitting in a baby bouncer that the car flipped over.
Young's attorney says she's remorseful and knows she will serve prison time.
Housing officer, mentor charged with sex crimes
CLEVELAND (AP) -- A police officer with an Ohio housing authority has been accused of having sexual contact with a teenage boy he mentored through his department's Explorers program.
Twenty-six-year-old Christopher Collins was jailed Friday after his indictment on charges including sexual battery, endangering children and providing alcohol to minors. The Cuyahoga County Metropolitan Housing Authority officer is scheduled for arraignment Monday in Cleveland.
Court records don't indicate if Collins has an attorney who could comment for him.
Housing Authority police Chief Andres Gonzalez tells Cleveland.com Collins "exhibited symptoms of a predator." The indictment says Collins twice had sexual contact with a teenager.
Gonzales says an investigation was launched after Collins sent inappropriate texts to a teenager. He says Collins is accused of drinking with teens in their hotel rooms during a sanctioned out-of-town trip.
Parole board denies mercy for death row inmate
COLUMBUS (AP) -- The state's parole board has rejected a plea for mercy by a condemned inmate who killed his wife and the man who had let the couple live in his home.
Raymond Tibbetts was sentenced to die for stabbing Fred Hicks to death at Hicks' Cincinnati home in 1997. Tibbetts also received life imprisonment for fatally beating and stabbing his wife, 42-year-old Judith Crawford, during an argument that same day over Tibbetts' crack cocaine habit.
The 67-year-old Hicks had hired Crawford as a caretaker and allowed the couple to stay with him.
Tibbetts is not deserving of clemency in part because Hicks' killing was "particularly senseless and gratuitous," the board said in an 11-1 decision released Friday. The board also said that the psychological link that Tibbetts' current attorneys allege exists between his traumatic childhood and the murders is "belied by the fact that Tibbetts was largely able to refrain from violence for many years preceding the murders."
"We are disappointed that more members of the board were not persuaded by the impact of Ray's traumatic upbringing on his development," Jacob Cairns, a lawyer for Tibbetts, said in an email Friday.
However, Cairns said, they remain optimistic that Republican Gov. John Kasich "will spare Ray's life in recognition that his jury never heard the significant evidence that demonstrates he is not among the worst of the worst."
Tibbetts is scheduled for execution July 26. Kasich has the final say.
Prosecutors note that Tibbetts told the parole board that he doesn't deserve clemency and believes he had a fair trial.
"In nearly every case this board reviews, inmates assert that their poor childhoods, drugs, or some other reason mitigate their actions," Ron Springman, an assistant Hamilton County prosecutor, told the board in a Jan. 12 filing. "The mitigation in this case does not overcome the brutality of these murders."
Police: Couple staged murder with ketchup, texts
SANDUSKY (AP) -- Police say a couple in Ohio staged a murder scene in a bathtub in which they poured ketchup over her and he then sent pictures to friends, saying he did it.
Sandusky officers showed up after getting calls Thursday night from three people police say were "hysterical."
That's when officers discovered that the scene in the couple's bathtub had been staged.
Police say Nataleigh Schlette and Micah Risner are charged with inducing panic. Both pleaded not guilty Friday.
Police Sgt. Dawn Allen tells the Sandusky Register that while it might have been funny to the couple, it wasn't a joke to police.
Painting by condemned killer for sale online
AKRON (AP) -- Prosecutors say they're sickened that a website is selling a painting purportedly made by an Ohio death row inmate convicted in the killings of three down-and-out men lured by bogus job offers on Craigslist.
The Akron Beacon Journal reported the painting of a hummingbird on a tree branch is signed by Richard Beasley.
The 57-year-old Beasley was convicted of teaming up with a teenager in 2011 to lure victims into robberies using promises of jobs on a southeast Ohio farm. One would-be victim got away and notified police.
The operator of the website serialkillersink.net says he got the painting through a third party. It's priced at $200.
An Ohio prisons spokeswoman says death row inmates can't sell items for profit, but are allowed to send artwork to family and friends.
Cincinnati's streetcars down for repairs
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Officials plan to close the Cincinnati streetcar's downtown loop for up to four days this month for repairs.
The Cincinnati City Council's transportation committee on Wednesday approved a plan that will close the downtown loop of the 3.6-mile route to fix crumbling concrete below the tracks of the Cincinnati Bell Connector.
The plan calls for repairs to start March 19. Officials hope to have it completed by the following weekend, with crews working 24 hours per day for two days to demolish the faulty concrete.
The demolition work will be followed by two days of re-pouring concrete and letting it cure before reinstating full streetcar service.
The repairs are under warranty and won't require additional city funding.

text: I was lucky enough to grab one of the advance tour pressings of this LP when Impalers played Raleigh this summer, and I've been listening to it quite a lot. I have to say that this kind of heavy, d-beat-inspired hardcore isn't the first thing I reach for to listen to these days, but this LP has overcome my ear fatigue from listening to so many heavy guitars. I've been trying to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes Impalers so much better than other bands that try this style, but at the end of the day they're just better. They still have that weird mix of later Anti-Cimex-style d-beat and the kind of lurching rhythms of Celtic Frost, but they craft amazingly dynamic songs (not to mention records!), especially given that they're pretty much in full-bore rage mode 100% of the time. That said, there are some surprising moments on this LP, like my favorite track, "Church Bitch," which sounds like Venom covering early Motley Crue... just a stunning track, but the whole LP is a certified rager. Beautiful packaging too, including a custom die-cut jacket.

Flamboyant British-based Italian jockey Frankie Dettori has been cleared to resume riding by France Galop following a six-month doping ban, the French racing authority said on Thursday.
Dettori's suspension, handed out after he tested positive at Longchamp in September, expired on May 19 but his return to the saddle was delayed after a test carried out by France Galop produced an "irregularity", according to the British Horseracing Authority who reciprocated the ban.
The Italian, one of the biggest names in the sport after years of riding big-race winners, met France Galop's medical committee on Tuesday.
"Today, the medical committee received the information it required. In the light of this latest evidence, it decided to lift the medical contraindication on him race riding in France," France Galop said in a statement.
The jockey tested positive for an unidentified substance in September but he revealed in an interview with Channel Four television last month that he took cocaine because "things were going bad" and he was "depressed".
Dettori famously won all seven races in one afternoon at Ascot in 1996, costing bookmakers millions of pounds in payouts.
He announced in October that he was ending his 18-year stint as the retained jockey for the Godolphin stable of Sheikh Mohammed, for whom he has ridden 110 Group One winners around the world since 1994.
Dettori will return as a freelance although he is set to miss out on a ride in Saturday's Epsom Derby, the richest race in the British flat racing calendar.

So I'm still looking for some really comfortable shoes. I'm constantly standing and walking around now because of my jobs.
Any recommendations for the most comfortable shoes for men?
Most Helpful Guy
Have you tried insoles for your shoes? Just because they look pro doesn't mean they can't feel like slippers on the inside :)
Also, consider contacting a local "chiropractor / massage" center. Ask them if they do light therapy (and if they ask, they probably don't, but you can explain that you heard of lazer stimulation and want to try it)... It's fairly inexpensive for the result and what it does is really remarkable. I was in a bad accident in 2009 where I had a lot of broken and fractured disks in my spine.. The result from the accident was that I have numbing/tingling bilaterally (both feet past the calves down)... Well, the lazer stim in conjunction with being adjusted every 2 weeks is enough to keep me going, though I'm an extreme case. I believe it would be about a month of going every week or two weeks for you, then it would even out to about once a month. The average cost in my area with insurance is simply your co-pay ($25) and without it averages $60.
Additionally, you might consider talking to your boss and okaying certain kinds of shoes before you buy them. Once he notices that you are trying to find a good shoe because of your painful soles he might have recommendations from other workers and/or approve tennis shoes. A happy worker is a productive worker. If your boss can't bend due to other agents - ask him if he can approve a specific black tennis shoe / etc for all the reps to wear (it looks more dressy if it's black?).
Good luck, hope it helps.00|00|0

Children of the 90s
Interview with
Kat - And finally, there's a story that I saw basically that starts talking about 9,000 placentas floating in plastic buckets of formaldehyde...
Nell - Yeah, who wouldn't read on after that. I think that's great.
Kat - This really got me and this is about the Bristol cohort. What is this here?
Nell - So there's a slightly more kind of evocative name which is 'The children of the '90s' and this was loads and loads of children, more than 4,000 that were kind of selected to be part of this massive cohort study. And they basically wanted to find out every possible thing they could about how these children started off in life, about their mothers, about their development as they grew up. So they've got all kinds of crazy information and tissue samples and stuff stored away that they're now finding exciting new ways to use.
Kat - So they've got like placentas and hair, and they've got all sorts of data, and some of these kids are now - 20 years later, they're now having children themselves, but what I think is really pioneering about this is that they were collecting samples and placentas, all those kind of things, before they really knew what they could do with it. Because back then we didn't have the kind of genome sequencing technology we have.
Nell - Yeah and I mean, there were some quite nice old stories within this about, "what kind of things should we ask the parents about" and it was just like, "Let's ask them everything. Have you got a tumble drier, have you got a dog, do you use pesticides in the garden?" It was just kind of anything that might possibly be relevant even in ways that they couldn't imagine at that time. So I think yeah, it's really kind of forward-looking research because they just didn't know how they're going to use this stuff, but now, there's lots of different ways that they could.
Kat - It's really blue skies. I love the idea of someone going, "This will be useful one day." It's like your mum going, "Just take that and put it in a safe place." You know, 9,000 placentas, keep an eye on that. Sure it would be useful one day. You haven't got any placentas at home?
Nell - No, although I am a bit of a hoarder so you know, you'd never know when things might come in handy and I think that's what science is all about.

- Abstract:
- This thesis presents the application and development of decomposition methods for Unsupervised Learning. It covers topics from classical factor analysis based decomposition and its variants such as Independent Component Analysis, Non-negative Matrix Factorization and Sparse Coding to their generalizations to multi-way array, i.e. tensor decomposition, through models such as the CanDecomp/ PARAFAC and the Tucker model. Extensions for these types of decomposition models to incorporate shift, reverberation and general transformations are also described. Finally, a connection between decomposition methods and clustering problems is derived both in terms of classical point clustering but also in terms of community detection in complex networks. A guiding principle throughout this thesis is the principle of parsimony. Hence, the goal of Unsupervised Learning is here posed as striving for simplicity in the decompositions. Thus, it is demonstrated how a wide range of decomposition methods explicitly or implicitly strive to attain this goal. Applications of the derived decompositions are given ranging from multi-media analysis of image and sound data, analysis of biomedical data such as electroencephalography to the analysis of social network data.

Anyone who operates a Volkswagen knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do. Volkswagen car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of German engineering when driving their Transporter around town. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the economy built into each Volkswagen, and know that only the best replacement Transporter parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Make no mistake, you bought your Transporter because you understood you would be getting dependability and long-lasting service both rolled up into one vehicle.
The ability to slow down and make quick evasive maneuvers is absolutely vital to protecting your car. However, it took a couple of decades of automobile production until brake drums were invented. Your Volkswagen Transporter brake drum is like a wide, shallow can that holds the brake shoes which press against the interior surface; creating friction so that your car or truck can stop. Drum brakes are not as efficient in the rain because they can collect water in the bottom, as well as become "out of round" because of the asymmetrical way the shoes apply friction to the inside when your Volkswagen Transporter comes to a stop.

Phone input field displaying wrongAsked by agape360 on July 16, 2015 at 12:10 PM
I opened my form in the designer and after that my form fields were all justified. For the most part this is fine except for the phone number which has two inputs (area code and main number). It looks confusing and the layout is bad.
Assistance is appreciated.
JotForm Support
Enabling "Input Mask" for your phone field should condense the field down to a single entry and provide a much clearer indication of what data is expected:
Here is how to field would look and function in your form with the changes made:
If this is still not sufficient, let us know and we will be happy to see what else we can do.
Thanks. That did it.

Fried Tofu With Tangy Chilli Dressing
READY IN: 18mins
Recipe by Mel Bedggood
A delicious tofu snack! Tips: * drain water from tofu after taking out of pack
Top Review by Hadice
This tasted great. The only change I made was not using flour, just frying the tofu as is. When DH had his first bite he said, 'wow this is tangy!' So the dressing really lives up to it's name. The sauce was a bit thin, so I might try heating it up to reduce a little. I used the sugar and honey to cut back on the heat. Yum! Reviewed for PAC Fall 2006

Wilson (Don't Starve) Discussion: For Science!
Subject: Wilson (Don't Starve) Discussion: For Science!
Mon Apr 27, 2015 8:49 pm
The "survival" genre is definitely one of the more popular genres in gaming. From crafting to eating and foraging, the boost in popularity in the genre thanks to games like Minecraft is unarguably huge.
So certainly, the genre should offer an interesting playstyle if included. Heck, if people think the puzzle genre needs to be repped, why not this one?
But the most obvious representative, Steve from Minecraft, is left in the dust due to his easily changeable appearance (making the default skin somewhat unmemorable and un-relatable), and Minecraft has not ever appeared on a Nintendo console (and is owned by Microsoft now, to boot).
So what other survival game series is decently popular and is set to appear on the Wii U next month?
Don't Starve.
With an artstyle inspired by Tim Burton, Don't Starve is an unforgiving yet addictive take on the survival genre that was originally released in 2013 for the PC, and a Wii U port is set to happen next month, giving it the Nintendo relevance people oh-so want.
And who would be the best fit to be playable from this game?
None other than the game's mascot, WILSON.
Wilson is a "scientist" who is transported to a wilderness seemingly to die there, and it is up to Wilson to survive and find a way out.
Using his incredible intellect, Wilson is able to create unique inventions and weapons using the things he finds in the wilderness. Some of these unique inventions include a landmine that shoots out bees when stepped on, and a huge slab of ham used as a blunt bat.
Playstyle: Wilson's gadgets and magic items are indeed useful, but require resources to build (use). All of Wilson's specials use something just called "resources", of which he can have up to 6 at a time (possibly indicated near his damage on the HUD somewhere). He starts with 3. For every special attack he uses, Wilson consumes a resource, and when all resources are used up, Wilson's specials can be very limited. Wilson can re-acquire resources, however. When using Wilson's tilts, Wilson will use tools (specifically his axe, shovel, and hammer). When Wilson hits an opponent with a tilt, he his guaranteed at least 1 resource to be added to his storage. Wilson can also use his down tilt (shovel) and up tilt (hammer) on normal surfaces to have a chance at acquiring resources, even if he hits nothing. Wilson also automatically acquires a resource if he picks up an item.
Entrance: Wilson starts laying on the ground. He wakes up suddenly, holds a hand to his head, then gets up.
Jab: Wilson performs a weak punch whilst leaning forwards. Pressing the A button in succession will have Wilson alternate which arm he punches with.
Forward Tilt: Wilson takes his axe and chops forwards with it.
Up Tilt: Wilson takes a handcrafted hammer and swings it over his head, smacking it on the ground in front of him.
Down Tilt: Wilson digs the ground in front of himself with a shovel.
Forward Smash: Wilson takes out a tentacle spike and swipes forwards quickly.
Up Smash: Wilson takes out a Ham Bat and lifts it swiftly above his head.
Down Smash: Wilson puts down a lit pile of gunpowder, which promptly explodes after a few seconds after Wilson finishes putting it down. Deals massive damage, and can hurt Wilson as well.
Dash Attack: Wilson dawns a Football Helmet and headbutts forwards.
Edge Attack: Wilson performs a weak punch whilst climbing back up.
Get-Up Attack: Wilson smacks opponents on both sides of himself.
Neutral Air: Wilson spins around in the air.
Forward Air: Wilson takes out a board and smacks in front of himself.
Back Air: Wilson takes out a dead fish and smacks backwards.
Up Air: Wilson opens an umbrella above himself.
Down Air: Wilson takes out a spear and stabs downwards.
Grab: Wilson attempts to grab the opponent with his hands.
Pummel: Using his huge cranium, Wilson headbutts the opponent.
Forward Throw: Wilson makes a weak attempt to hurl the opponent away.
Back Throw: Wilson, using all his might, hurls the opponent backwards.
Up Throw: Wilson tosses the opponent upwards.
Down Throw: Wilson pushes the opponent, knocking them down.
Neutral Special: Sleep Dart
Wilson blows a dart out of a small reed. The dart travels quickly and deals damage on impact. If opponents are hit with enough darts within a short amount of time, opponents can be forced to fall asleep. If used without resources, Wilson will just blow the reed, which deals small damage close to Wilson.
Side Special: Ice Staff
Wilson uses an ice staff to fire a cold projectile. If an opponent is hit, they will take damage. If they are above a certain percent, they will be frozen. If used without resources, Wilson just smacks forwards with the staff.
Up Special: Telelocator Staff
Wilson holds up a mystical staff, then lighting strikes him, possibly hitting close enemies. Wilson will then re-appear a set distance away based on an input by the player (ala-Zelda), again in a flash of lighting (which can, again, possibly hurt opponents). If used without resources, Wilson can still teleport, but he does not travel as far and he takes damage upon re-entry.
Down Special: Bee Mine
Wilson sets down a bee mine. When opponents walk near it, they will take initial damage and then continuously be harassed by bees. Bees have 5 HP and can be easily dispatched by either an opponent or Wilson. There can only be one bee mine out at a time, and Wilson cannot put another bee mine out until all previous bees have been dispatched with. If used without resources, Wilson just pretends to plant something down, but nothing happens.
Final Smash: Old Bell
Wilson takes out the Old Bell and rings it. After a small delay, a large foot comes down and slams into the stage, instantly KO-ing any character hit directly by the stomp and heavily damaging any players near the sight of impact. The drawbacks to this final smash is the fact that, on larger stages, it can be difficult to actually hit anything with this.
Win: Wilson is grabbed by shadowy hands and is pulled into the ground.
Lose: Wilson claps for the winner.
Taunt: Based on a nearby character, Wilson will look at the camera and say something about them. Examples:
Mario: I wonder if I could borrow his fire flower?
Luigi: He wouldn't last a day where I'm from.
Ridley: I've seen bigger.
Pikachu: I wonder how it tastes?
Ice Climbers: Those parkas look warm.
Ashley: She'll need to teach me some of those spells.
Wario: The worst thing I'll smell all day.
Ryu: I think he's trying too hard.

On a similar subject, I have a concept for a Don't Starve stage, but I'm not sure how to make it work properly

BMW's Abu Dhabi dealership has just taken delivery of a bespoke i8 hybrid sports car which has been wrapped up in a rather startling colour.
The eye-popping Twilight Purple colour has been achieved with the help of a custom foil wrap and it will ensure that this i8 will stand out from the rest of the crowd even on the glitzy streets of the capital city of the United Arab Emirates.
The rather luminous purple wrap job works quite well with BMW's hybrid sports car and it emphasises the lines of the i8.
Everything from the air intakes to the crazy doors to the tail lamps and custom spoiler at the rear are brought to the attention of any person taking a look at the car.
Speaking of that spoiler at the back, the fixed wing is an aftermarket job from German customization house AC Schnitzer and it isn't the only aftermarket part fitted onto this mad looking i8.
Other custom parts (also from AC Scnitzer) include carbon fiber flics on the lower section of the front bumper along with the custom side skirts.
Also from the German customizers are a set of twin 5-spoke alloy wheels that we have to say look extremely cool.
The interior of the cars remain unchanged and are done up in BMW's rather bland beige and black combo.
Also unchanged is the powerplant. The 1.5-litre 3-cylinder engine combines with an electric motor to produce 357bhp @ 5,800rpm and 570Nm @ 3,700rpm which is sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Decoden/Crystallized Profile
I wanted to do a quick, fun craft post of things I have gemmed, just as a personal portfolio. <3 I will probably repost this as my profile is updated.
Crystallizing is gemming. There are different types of gems you can buy. Rhinestones can be made with glass, acrylic, gem quartz, metal, or paste. The best crystals you can buy are glass, and those are Swarovski. If you are gemming an item for a small child, though, Czech crystals, which are still very high in quality, are better because of the lead content in Swarovski Crystals, and kids have a tendency of ingesting items. If I were to Crystallize my skin, I would also probably use Czech crystals.
Swarovski has many different shapes and sizes of crystals, but their most common for decocarting items are regular flatbacks or heatfix stones. I am finding myself more liking to work with heatfix stones because they are very secure on the fabric. I am working on some big projects right now, and I would eventually like to open up a shop on my blog with some projects I am doing.
Crystallizing is so inspiring, and you can gem nearly ANYTHING!
Here are some items I have Crystallized:
This was my old phone back in 2008. This was the third phone I had Crystallized with Swarovski Crystals, the first Android based phone, the G1. I used 9 ss in Fuchsia, Rose, and Light Rose, darker to lighter. I used GemTac, but I wasn't too happy with the way it held up over a long time. My first phone I gemmed lasted wonderfully with GemTac.
I had some left over crystals, so I gemmed my Tarte makeup brush. This was in 2010. This was the first time I used a two-part epoxy glue.
This is my most recent phone, my Android Samsung Vibrant phone. I did this phone this year. I used all different sizes of Aurora Borealis Swarovski stones, and I decided to go a bit more chaotic with the design, randomly placing crystals. I used about five different sizes, though if I could do it over again, I would add about two or three more sizes to make it that much more ecclectic. I used what I had on stock, and it was probably one of my most fun gemming projects personally.
For my pics and instructions on how to do these Leopard Shoes, go here: http://www.bombshelllolita.com/?p=122 🙂
Decoden is a Japanese form of crystallizing items, but they don't need to be all crystals. They can be fun, cute little cabochens made up of plastic, glass, or clay.
My first decoden project was a plain gold and mirror necklace I purchased at Forever 21. I added flatback pearls purchased at Michael's, though Swarovski make some nice flatback pearls. I purchased the rose at a bead shoppe.
For more pics and instructions on this decoden mirror compact, go here: http://www.bombshelllolita.com/?p=69! 🙂
Here is a different type of decoden, more of a whipped cream look. You can use squeezable caulking silicone and cake frosting heads to get more of a cake look, but I used an art median, glue, a cake head, and white paint. I wasn't too happy with this look, and I will not be doing it again, hence I didn't do a blog about it. It didn't hold the cake frosting look I was going for, but it did hold the items well after a very long time of drying, months. I was a bit concerned about fumes with silicone, but I think if you do it outside, get a basic silicone with no latex or vinyl, and wear a mask, it shouldn't be too bad. You can always look up the MSD sheet of toxic products online or at the hardware store to see just how toxic and harmful fumes can be. When I do try silicone decoden style, I will do a blog post on it. I did make the bow and rose out of clay with molds, though.
Last but not least, my tiny 8.9 Acer Aspire One Laptop Decoden cover! I bought my supplies all over the place, ranging from Michael's to bead shoppes to online gem suppliers, my favortie being Dreamtime Creations. I will do a tutorial on how to achieve this look. It is a super fun look for a computer, though, and I finished off the side with a white lace trim. If you don't want to permanently glue items to your computer, do what I did and buy a peal-away vinyl sticker made for printing a computer skin and simply gem that. That way if you get board or need to have a professional computer, you can take it off when you need to.
And those are my Crystal Creations for now. What have you guys done? 🙂

Possible? Im thinking of going down to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and then a ferry to Egypt (since i cannot enter Israel) and then from Port Said in Egypt a ferry to Cyprus and then on to Turkey, all that in just a bit less then 2 months.
And i know this question has been asked to the rot, but roughly how much should i budget for? I have been getting lots of different figures from 60USD a day to 30... so i would really appreciate if any Middle East experts could clear my doubts here. Ill be staying in dorms, eating roadside meals and the like... roughly i think Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Cyprus would be more expensive?
Any advise is really appreciated, Middle East novice here (its my first post here! )
Many Thanks!

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio To Be Impeached? Facing Criminal Charges
Mayor Bill de Blasio was one of the strongest supporters of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. The latest revelations show that he also was involved with the Clinton Foundation's playbook of "pay-to-play" scandals.
His nonprofit political fundraising organisation, Campaign for One New York promoted the mayor's progressive agenda and was almost an equivalent to the Clinton Foundation, in fact it was just another way for thousands of donors to line de Blasio's pockets with millions of dollars with his "pay-to-play" scandals.
Two separate grand juries in Manhattan, one federal and one state, are investigating testimonies by city officials relating to criminal investigations into Democratic New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, and it seems they are getting closer to an indictment against some of his closest aides, including Emma Wolfe and Ross Offinger, reports Joe For America.
The state inquiry is being conducted by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr.
The federal investigation investigates whether de Blasio or his aides conducted political favours for donors in exchange for contributions for his mayoral campaign in 2013.
It is expected that Mayor de Blasio, like Clinton, will claim that "he did nothing wrong" and that the Campaign for One New York (CONY) was set up in "the best interests of all New Yorkers". Too bad no one will believe him.
Almost all the money that flowed out of the Campaign for One New York went to consulting firms such as BerlinRosen, Hilltop Public Solutions and AKPD Message and Media. However, these consultancies are run by the men whom the mayor notoriously designated "agents of the city," retroactively shielding their communications with his office from public scrutiny.
With Donald Trump winning the election, Hillary Clinton's 'pay-to-play' corruption is finally coming to an end. It looks like New Yorkers will feel the same relief soon with Mayor de Blasio's indictment.

ANAHEIM – The Angels went without slumping Albert Pujols in the starting lineup for the first time this season and played arguably their most complete game, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-2, on Saturday night at Angel Stadium to break out of a two-game funk.
Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo each blasted solo home runs, and Alberto Callaspo and Bobby Wilson had bunt singles as the Angels played both big and small ball to put up 13 hits on the Blue Jays, who had shut them out the previous two nights.
Angels left-handed starter C.J. Wilson (4-2) worked eight innings and threw 103 pitches (64 for strikes), allowing just two runs (one Adam Lind home run in the fifth) on six hits and three walks.
He struck out a season-high nine with a mix of his fastball, cutter, sinker and curveball.
Newly acquired right-handed reliever Ernesto Frieri started the ninth to seal it for the Angels (11-17).
Wilson got run support early and defensive reinforcements from Trout, who made a diving grab on a fly ball into shallow center field by J.P. Arencibia in the third inning, and left fielder Vernon Wells, who raced to make a catch at the wall of an Edwin Encarnacion blast in the eighth inning.
"It's really awesome to see our team play like that," Wilson said.
"We were super aggressive with the runs and the bunts and the power."
Wells doubled and came home on a Bobby Wilson RBI single for the 1-0 lead in the second inning.
Trout put the Angels ahead, 2-1, in the fifth inning with his first home run of the season, a blast of a fastball from Kyle Drabek (2-3).
"We've had elements of it (this complete game before,)" Trumbo said, "but I think today was the first day it came together.
"For us, the execution was huge."

Audience angry after magic show 'shambles'
HUNDREDS of Islanders who paid £150 a ticket to watch the celebrity magician Dynamo perform on Saturday have described the event as 'a shambles' and are demanding their money back.
HUNDREDS of Islanders who paid £150 a ticket to watch the celebrity magician Dynamo perform on Saturday have described the event as 'a shambles' and are demanding their money back.
The event at the Royal Yacht Hotel, which sold out within days of tickets going on sale, had been organised by local events company Firethorn Productions and had been sold as an intimate cocktail and champagne event with close-up magic at individual tables from the magician.
However, those who attended have said it was no such thing and have voiced their anger and disappointment, with some saying they had not even caught a glimpse of Dynamo because of the crowds.

Should have stayed at home,I watched 2 episodes of him on TV for FREE!!!!!
Mark G
Totally agree, like F1 best at home on the TV. However if you are a fan of a celeberty and you get the chance to at least have a few minutes with that celeberty then £150 is worth it, up close and personnel. If you don't get what has been advertised and paid for then that is a missed sold product or service. If you paid £25 then you could accept that you may not get close just like a concert.
My suggestion to all those who were miss sold a ticket on the persumption that you would get a few minutes with Dynamo is to write to the company requesting a refund, if that fails write another letter providing 14 days notice to contact you with a solution or they will face legal action. If no joy then go to the petty debts court...
£150 to see that more fool them....
£150 per ticket? People must have way too much cash in their pockets.
On the CTV site people are saying they just pushed in without paying and were not stopped!
I agree. That was the first thing that struck me. I am mystified as to who was paying for these tickets. I cannot imagine that people in Finance have ever heard of him (I had not either). Perhaps it was largely States Members on the £45K for one day a week in the States, and a second day doing a bit of committee work.
Merlin the Wizard
"celebrity magician Dynamo", never heard of him!!
Anyway we have our own celebrity magician here in Jersey, he's called Phil "The Spin" Ozouf, our Treasury Minister and he can make hundreds of millions of pounds disappear!
Positve negative man
It's a pity that he is not a dynamo, isn't it? He can "generate" bad feeling and animosity towards the states and he cannot foster a "positive" public opinion.
The "battery" of unpopular policies means that his position cannot be "rectified".
Ha ha ha there goes another rib! Merlin you really should be on stage yourself with that sort of genius and original comedy.
Perhaps you and Merlin should swap names.
That was a good trick: £150 for a glass of champagne and Dynamo's head from the back...
So much for the recession
Mary Jewell
One hundred and fifty pounds!!!! for cocktails and up close magic, really --- conspicuous consumption.
Making £150 disappear from 'hundreds' all at the same time, sounds a pretty neat trick to me!
No security anywhere, way too many people (at least 500+), no introduction to even say Dynamo had arrived or where he was...the whole event was a shambles!
When it got to 10.30pm and they let everyone in who'd only paid £25 for Tod terry ticket, it was time to go.
At least the Royal yacht owners and family managed to have a personal show at 9pm (when he took a break!) SHOCKING!!
Felt sorry for Dynamo, he was genuinely gutted.
Firethorn Productions should refund everyone in full.
No surprises there then! I don't envy the events company at all having to appease the hotel owners and their incompetent staff!!
Didn't the proceeds go to charity. If they refund everyone then the charity is the one who has lost out.
The event was simply mis-sold - 'Tables of Ten' - no tables of ten existed - 'intimate show' - totally the opposite - see 'Dynamo' - I was there for two hours and didn't see him at all! - Craig Alder's interview with CTV this evening says that they complied with Dynamo's contract (this has nothing to do with the public who purchased tickets from the Royal Yacht based on the promotional material given out and should have reflected those contractual obligations which it obviously didn't) - there are a 'minority' not happy (Err... take a look again at complaints Mr Alder!!!) - I personally think this episode is verging on Fraud and quite criminal if they don't accept that they were wrong and give everybody a full refund.
The longer they dither on this I am sure it will simply get worst for the promotions company (which is also questionable is a legal entity) and the Royal Yacht Hotel who actually accepted the money for the purchase of tickets....
Don't let anybody tell you there'e no money in Jersey.£150 per ticket!!! I wonder what the audience make up was?
I know - 150 quid a ticket - for tht price I would expect Dynamo to take my coat, cook my dinner and drop me home afterwards.
ah ah
John, StBrelade
You'll like it... not a lot!
Archie Rondel
What a ripoff. £150 for one ticket. To "see" a z list magician. When I am going to see the Roling Stones in London soon for the same price. Have to say , Jersey still has a appetite for suckers..
God's Mentor
I know a few people who went to this - absolute farce apparently. Best view they got of Dynamo was when he walked out the door.
A complete shambles! Check out Firethorn's FB page to see what the audience thought:
Good to see Dynamo apologised on Twitter; I hope Firethorn or the Royal Yacht offer a suitable apology too.
Mark g
Check out their Facebook website! Some comments are coming from friends of the organiser ! Pity full and shameful. When I found these comments praising the organiser I went though other comments located around Facebook and it looks like the organiser is getting his friends to try and reduce the fall out of the shambles. I for one will be helping friends take action for a full refund. No point in bringing Dynamo back because it won't work....
Mark, you are being ridiculous.
The organiser has not once asked anyone to stand up for him. But why wouldn't the people who actually know him and his intentions stand up and support him? Is this kind of behaviour alien to you?
People need to get a bit of class and try and see the situation from both sides before they embarrass themselves anymore. Firethorn put on an event that everyone wanted to go to. They're devastated that it's not gone well. It's going to cost them a fortune to put right. What part of this do people think was intentional?
Mistakes were made, they've acknowledged that, and one way or another they're going to put it right. Hopefully then everyone can dry their tears and move on.
Mark g
so i am to feel sorry that it is going to cost them a fortune? mistakes were made but not just a little mistake but a great big reputational mistake. the fact that his friends went on facebook stating they had a good time was a slap in the face of the people who had paid a lot of money to not have the experience that was advertised. time will tell if they can amend the errors experienced.
Disappointed Mary
So Ashley how do you know the organiser has not asked anyone to stand up for him? Why are you defending him? After seeing Mark G comment i too went onto facebook to look for myself and there they were, comments from friends stating what a good night it was! So Ashley are you a friend of the organiser? was you one of those people that got in for free because you knew someone who worked at the Royal Yacht? The event was a shambles and whilst not intentional showed poor leadership, poor organisation and poor safety and there is no excuse in the world that can hide the fact that the organiser failed the customers, Dynamo and the Teenage Cancer Trust. How dare you insult me and all the other customers by commenting to dry my tears and move on! I can tell you now that if you hada unpleasent experience and you had paid for it you would be complaining to.
Firethorn Productions have not yet contacted me but i shall wait and see if they are true to there word of giving refunds.
I am a good friend of the organiser. I did not get a free ticket or entry - dispite my best efforts to persuade him to give me one.
Friends of the organisers have complained to him, others have supported him. You wouldn't know this though because 1. you don't know him or his friends, and 2. you're only interested in seeing things from your point of view.
How have the Teenage Cancer Trust been let down? Explain this to me. They had a massively succesful event and recieved £5,000 pounds.
What am I doing replying to this nonsense.
Mark, freedom of speech means people can and will say what they want, and especially on the internet. Just because it doesn't necessarily tally with many other opinions or experiences of the night doesn't mean they didn't have a great time or that they were encouraged to say it. After all, some must have got to see some 'magic'. Or are you so hellbent on lynching the organisers that this doesn't suit you by way of explanation?
The 'great big reputational mistake' you mention is a further cost for the organisers on top of the actual cost of reinbursing those who request it. I wonder how many will fail to offer to not take back the charitable donation that constituted £12.50 of every ticket? That £5k came from somewhere but at the moment will 100% come from Firethorn if everyone took the full refund on offer. Incidentally Mary, the charity was the only party that most definitely did not come out of this badly on any level.
Mary, as I have done on Facebook and to a certain extent am doing now, I stick up for people when they are being treated inappropriately and especially mates. Promoters take risks - both to provide aspirational entertainment and to make money. Dynamo was an ambitious booking by most standards and by the vast majority of assesments, did not work on the night. On the other hand, the Todd Terry event later on achieved both with bells on. Same promoter, same aims, same night, different result. This should be all the evidence that's needed to reassure that there was not anything but good intentions for the whole night.
The most important thing in life is when people make mistakes or things don't turn out as they should, they suitably make amends. If you ask me, Firethorn couldn't have done more in the aftermath, and the offer of full refund is virtually unheard of.
I am embarrassed of many in this island who are so quick to jump all over a well-intentioned promoter before he even had time to get his ducks in a row and make the offer he has. Most of the more vocal have probably never organised anything of note in their whole lives and spend most of their time moaning that there's never anything to do in Jersey.
Nobody died, dry your eyes, take your refund, get over it.
mark g
RICH: look the organiser screwed up and i do not care how much it is costing him or the royal yacht. you are just proving my point that he has got his friends to cover his back. to compare the organisation of getting a dj and filling a room full of hundreds of people does not take anything more than a bart simpson, maybe the organiser should stick to booking djs. as for free speech....back at you! you come on here and reply back at me quoting free speech? maybe you should meet the angry customers yourself and listen to their free speech about the event? i am using my freedom of speech.
ASHLEY & RICH u say you would stick up for a friend, well i commend u for being mates and sticking up for the organiser but remember that this is a business not a friendship. also from your comments u seem to believe that the customers should roll over and shut up? if no one had used their freedom of speech and complained then your friend would not be offering refunds.
as friends you can tell him to stick to booking djs.
Mark - do you read the news at all? Everyone has been offered their money back - even the ones that spoilt it for the rest by crowding around Dynamo. Firethorn have done more than anyone else would or could to resolve the problem.
What's your point mate? Do you actually have one now? Because from where I'm standing all the promotor's supporters had a point, and their point has been proven. Yours, sadly, seems to have come back to bite you on the behind.
Mark G
Ashley you ask "What's your point mate? Do you actually have one now? " well if you read my original comment above (used my freedom of speech) you will see that my comment stated that the organisers friends were making positive comments about an event that was a shambles. STOP PROVING MY POINT, its embarrassing for the organiser and the Royal Yacht. Your own comment "I am a good friend of the organiser" as proven my point and yet still you come on here defending the organiser and demeaning the customers who have had a bad experience. You also commented before that I only see my point of view, well thanks to you I see the organisers point of view now, when he gets hassle from the customers he sends in his friends to help him out, isn't that intimidating?
So the organiser is giving a refund, that's great news to the customers and great news for free speech as you seem an advocate of free speech yet your comment "Everyone has been offered their money back – even the ones that spoilt it for the rest by crowding around Dynamo." just proves it was a shambles and why so many people demanded their money back. Ashley step back and look at yourself typing on comment boards or face book defending a friend who runs a BUSINESS, The business failed at organising an event and people complained, that's BUSINESS not FRIENDSHIP and the fact you have admitted that you asked him for free tickets only shows that on what other occassions has your friend let in an event for free when others have paid!
Ashley if you want to make another comment about my comments I suggest you write to the owners of the Royal Yacht because that's where I am sending my letter with all the copies of the face book comments and other comments. From the organisers friends along with the comment "Hopefully then everyone can dry their tears and move on." & "Nobody died, dry your eyes, take your refund, get over it."
Lord Haw Haw
Whatever the outcome of the evening, someone did rather well out of it financially.
400 tickets at £150 is £60,000
A gracious donation of £5,000 to the Teenage Cancer Trust leaves £55,000.
Dynamo charges up to £25,000 for an appearance but is involved with the trust so may have reduced his fee, but lets say he didn't .. that leaves £35,000
The Royal Yacht owners are also involved in the trust but lets say £5,000, leaving £30,000.
So not a bad nights work for a shambolic event !
Go ahead - write your letter. I'm certain they could use a laugh after the week they've had.
My comments have absolutely nothing to do with the promoter, their thoughts, feelings or opinions. I'm able to think for myself and am in control of my own actions.
If you do insist on printing off all this - which I dearly hope you do - could you add this note from me saying that I do think their drinks are a little pricy. I paid 14 pounds for a cider and a glass of champagne. I dunno if that's normal or not? Seems steep to me. Do you know if this is expensive or not, Mark? You seem to have a pretty firm grasp of what's acceptable and what's not. Maybe I'll leave it up to you - if you think it's too much for 2 drinks, leave it in. If you think it's ok, delete this bit.
What a bunch of Muggles...
Sorry, i meant Mugs!

Well, I can honestly say that I've never heard of this particular magician until yesterday and I certainly couldn't afford to pay £150 for a ticket to see him or anyone else for that matter!
It seems that not everyone in Jersey is currently struggling to make ends meet in this difficult economic climate!
What on earth does it have to do with anyone how someone else chooses to spend their hard earned money? Personally I think it's absolute madness to spend £10,000+ on a car to drive 45sq miles in, or go to town every Friday and pour £80+ over various bars, buy £400 pairs of shoes or regularly visit the bookies. Each to their own though!!
I work hard, live within my means, budget carefully and have a bit of money left to spend on things I enjoy. I'd definitely have spent £150 on such a 'unique' event with someone I'm a fan of - THANK GOD they'd sold out before I did.
£150 a ticket, they seen you coming!!
Archie my luvie typical old bean - you have to be a bean with that name.He is not a z listed magician he's a VERY clever and TALENTED magician - watch him on Sky Watch Channel and you'll see why people paid £150 a ticket.
Enjoy the OLD Rolling (bones) Stones concert!!
Will dynamo be performing at 70?
Will he even be remembered when he is 70?
£150? This is the best part of a weeks wage for some. Unless you work in finance that is, or in the public sector where you are well paid and get a decent pension on top.
I would imagine most would say who cares.
Simple Sid
Well he ws majic you just couldnt see him.

Dynamo is a very clever guy, I often watch his shows on Sky. Would you seriously rather pay £150, to watch 85 year-old blokes prancing around a stage pretending they're still relevant?

LOL, Beaumont you can see all that for free by visting the States on a Tuesday, saving £150!
I am surprised that the main article did not use the word disillusioned at some point
yep they missed a trick there
thank you i'll get my coat
£150 to see a magician!! Good or bad, famous or not... if you can afford that you can afford to stop whining and let the money go to the very worthwhile charity.
MARK G, give the guy a break, you have your money back.
It wasn't intentional. The guy is know as a local DJ and not a shark, therefore he has " friends" and followers. Never heard a bad word about him.
You would be dealing with the Warrens , who are very well known for their deep pockets and short arms, (and only use the word charity when they expect people to do stuff for them for nothing), the outcome would have been different. Believe me !!!


text: 4-song 7" from this all-girl band that have that perfect combination of Ramones riffs, girl group vocal hooks, and punk aggression. This sounds strikingly similar to the raw, early Midnite Snaxxx singles (and, by extension, the Bobbyteens and all of their related bands), and like Midnite Snaxxx these girls really know how to write a song. If you dig wild, raw, and aggressive pop music this little EP is essential. Recommended! Vertical House Records
