Introduced in 1968 by Mattel, Hot Wheels made an immediate splash in the die-forged toy car market. The following article explores the meaning of automobiles and other motor autos inside specific contexts. Several cars of the Ford Motor Company were enrolled into the competitors and demonstrated that their vehicles were probably the most competent by bagging the primary, second, and third place. Took my other car to work and once I came residence tried the Impala once more and bingo-began proper up like nothing ever occurred. When I next discover a classic or vintage automotive that catches my eye, I'll be buying it. But it was a basic sleeper, because it was powered by a hemi-Chrysler coupled to a B&M hydro.
Vintage cars are the automobiles which can be dreamed by the complete world and are sharing the best recognition after the Limousine vehicles. I recently discovered that there was a one digit error between the document and the chassis number really on the car. Parts for older automobiles may also be expensive and producers similar to Porsche can charge greater than £1,000 for easy items equivalent to a clutch. Usually a manufacturer constructs multiple kits of the identical automobile which is out there for consumers to assemble the automotive themselves.
OR…if you want to really expose your automobile to the Universe, try our multi-website promoting package (consists of eBay, Auto Trader, AutaBuy and all the massive websites and many smaller ones) for the low worth of just $one hundred fifty.00. Click on the Consignment web page for more info! By approaching the financing of your new automotive like this, you're much less more likely to find yourself being upset. I visited each website or page within the link list of race automobile coloring pages to make sure they're printable, free and hosted on a household-friendly website online.
You see, automotive sellers not only get to select the credit reporting agency they obtain FICO credit scores from…in addition they get to resolve if they are going to use a standard FICO credit score score or a variation of a FICO score known as an Auto Industry Option score. My greatest buddy even bought the dragon appliques for both the facet and interior on his automotive.
I suppose it would be important to discover if this automobile is official for you (is the automobile dealer reliable or shady in the dream?) or if it is representing one thing flashy and fascinating for some however not a fit proper now for YOU. Things have changed since I registered my car i.e. a switch from DRIRE to DREAL and apparently one of the best factor to do now could be to contact DREAL and make an appointment to have your automotive examined.…

President Obama, faced with a Colorado wildfire in the midst of a busy fundraising schedule, appears to have taken the same "hands off" response to the fires that drew so much criticism in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
"The President has been updated regularly on these wildfires," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney maintained when pressed today to explain why Obama hadn't spoken with Gov. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., in 15 days.
Obama called Hickenlooper about the fires on June 12. Obama has held 21 campaign events — including 18 fundraisers — since making that phone call, based on The Washington Examiner's survey of pool reports, the White House schedule, and WhiteHouseDossier.com. He made the call while heading to Baltimore for the first of six fundraisers that day (three of the fundraisers were in Philadelphia). He held four more fundraisers by the end of the week. He attended one fundraiser last week. He held another seven fundraisers this week, before calling Hickenlooper again today after the briefing.
Cue James Carville criticizing Obama for "political stupidity" in 2010. "It just looks like he's not involved in this," Carville told ABC. "Man, you got to get down here and take control of this, put somebody in charge of this thing and get this moving. We're about to die down here."
Carville was talking, of course, about the BP oil spill, which had begun over one month before. Obama called Hickenlooper again today, after the briefing, and scheduled a trip to Colorado, where 32,000 people have evacuated their homes as the fire threatens Colorado Springs.
In an email yesterday, Obama told supporters that he would struggle to raise as much money as Republican rival Mitt Romney because "I've got other responsibilities I'm attending to."

Battle In Seattle
Film Resources
See the film!
Inspire 10 Friends to See the Film (and You Might Win Free Chocolate!)
Take Action
Inspire Others to Take Action
In 1999 YOU helped Organic Consumers Association take a stand for organic food and farming, fair trade, and active democracy when we stopped the World Trade Organization (WTO) from meeting in Seattle.
Tens of thousands of ordinary people like us from around the world-union members, environmental activists, farmers, students, teachers, and nuns-gathered together in an extraordinary alliance to challenge the WTO in Seattle.
We have a historic opportunity THIS MONTH to rally together again to raise awareness of the WTO's failed, poverty-perpetuating and environmentally devastating policies - and how ordinary people can change everything.
The new feature film, "BATTLE IN SEATTLE," starring Andre Benjamin, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Rodriguez, Channing Tatum, and Charlize Theron showcases activists as heroes protecting people and the planet from destruction at the hands of callous corporations.
WE INVITE YOU TO STAND UP TO THE WTO AGAIN TODAY by taking the following steps as we organize around this epic cultural event:
1. SEE THE FILM. Take your friends, your loved ones, your co-workers, your neighbors, and remember what victory looks like for the global environmental and social movement. The film transports you to the heart of the action, and leaves you filled with hope about creating a more just world.
THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IN THE THEATERS ARE CRITICAL! If enough people see the film, it will expand into other cities around the country, bringing its important message to an even larger audience! Order tickets and invite your friends to join you. If the film is not playing in your area use the "DEMAND IT!" widget to bring it to your area.
2. INSPIRE 10 FRIENDS TO SEE THE FILM (AND YOU MIGHT WIN CHOCOLATE!!!). Organize your own outreach campaign by emailing, calling or texting 10 or more of your friends in any of the opening cities (even if you don't live in one, yourself!) and ask them to relive our collective victory against corporate tyranny. Five lucky activists who use this email tool will win a box of Fair Trade chocolate confections!
3. TAKE ACTION. Organic Consumers Association is part of the 5 ACTIONS CAMPAIGN that provides 5 impactful and empowering actions you can take to follow in the footsteps of the activists in Battle in Seattle. Visit www.5actions.com and click on the Fair Trade icon to participate in our Reverse Trick-or-Treating action. (DEADLINES to sign up: groups - Oct 1; individuals - Oct 13!)
4. INSPIRE OTHERS TO TAKE ACTION. Pass out action flyers at the film screenings so audiences who see the film know how they can simply and powerfully take action themselves. Visit this link for details on how to get involved. DEADLINE TO SIGN UP: SEPTEMBER 10.
The film opens September 19 in New York, San Francisco, San Rafael, Seattle, and Minneapolis and September 26 in Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, and Washington DC check the website for new cities being added!

Query based on earlier inferences:
If you do a style in which no one ever gets ce, can it reasonably be considered "Martial"?
I think that consistently broken/sprained toes might be a good indication as well, that's my problem anyway.
I'm waiting for the CE to strike teh Camus, but I assume it might take awhile as I have insanely small and soft ears, like any good ****** should. :homo:
I doubt there are a lot of sprained toes in boxing.
What with the shoes.
You've never seen a boxer get down and punch the hell out of his opponent's feet?
Where have you been?
With the grappling arts however. . . :qgreenjumQuote:

While there is some truth to your hypothesis, its basically flawed. Yes, CE shows that there are signs of contact and injury occuring to the person. But that doesn't mean i have CE, i do an art that is non bullshido. I could do a BS art and take some rough sports, possibly giving me CE. Does that suddenly make the art i learnt non BS?

I didn't expect to fall in love with a movie staring a dinosaur, and an herbivore at that. In the midst of my laughter and tears watching an early screening of "The Good Dinosaur," all I could think was, "dayum Pixar, you did it again."
The premise of "The Good Dinosaur" is simple. What if an asteroid that changed life on Earth, missed? What if dinosaurs never went extinct? What if Pixar Animation Studios made you relate to, and feel invested in animated dinosaurs? That last question is not really a "what if" question, because it's a done deal, you will feel things.
My 9YO daughter and I saw "The Good Dinosaur" together and we spent the bulk of the movie laughing out loud. After the movie I asked her what she thought, what she liked, and I told her how there were parts where I cried. She told me, "Mom, the art was so amazing, and I never usually cry at movies, but this one was so good it made me cry too." She also told me there were some tense moments, but that she thoroughly loved the movie, and couldn't wait for the other half of our family to see it.
We were both in awe of the art in this film. The creative gurus at Pixar who work with light, and texture to create a world that seems as real, or more real than the one we live in, deserve major accolades. Well done. I couldn't stop looking at each blade of grass, and how the light played off it, or how the river water sparkled in the light, and you could see the detail in the riverbed. The photos don't do it justice. We saw this movie in 3D and it's worth it to see the expert animation.
"The Good Dinosaur" is told from the point of view of an Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa) who overcomes his fear, makes an unlikely human friend, and becomes worthy of making his mark with his family.
One of my favorite quotes from the movie was the one where Arlo's Apatosaurus Poppa (voice of Jeffrey Wright) tells him "Sometimes you have to get through your fear to see the beauty on the other side." With current events and challenges in our global community, this message is especially timely. When we overcome our fears, we become people capable of kindness, and more apt to see the good around us. The lesson for all of us is that beauty is found beyond the fear.
"The Good Dinosaur" is perfect for the entire family. The message, the humor, and the storyline matter, and after a gratitude-filled Thanksgiving meal, this is a great way to share precious family time together. "The Good Dinosaur," is directed by Peter Sohn and produced by Denise Ream ("Cars 2"), Disney•Pixar's "The Good Dinosaur" is currently playing in theaters. Sohn is the first Asian to helm a Pixar movie, and he also wrote and directed the darling "Partly Cloudy" short. The features of the character of Russell from Up, were also based on Sohn.
I also need to make mention of "Sanjay's Super Team," directed by Sanjay Patel, the brilliant Pixar short film that you'll be treated to in theaters when you see "The Good Dinosaur." First, I'm thrilled to see a short film staring an Indian boy, and his father. The story follows the conflict that arises when youth try to escape the traditions of their parents, and what happens when love unites us, when we employ compromise and understanding.
Honestly Pixar peeps, I don't think I could love you more, unless you all of a sudden create a short film about my daughters. If that happened I'd melt into a puddle of adoration so fast, you'd need to reanimate me.
To stay up to date, about THE GOOD DINOSAUR, currently open in theaters, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest. You can also visit The Good Dinosaur official website too.
I was given two tickets for the screening of "The Good Dinosaur," all opinions and love for "The Good Dinosaur" and "Sanjay's Super Team" are my own.
If you like what you see here, would you do me a solid and like my Facebook page? You're the best!

Peggle 2
When I'm playing Peggle 2, is there a best starting position for the ball? Or is that first ball just luck.
Games Guru: It's not just luck. Later in the game, you can try to fine tune your shot with Bjorn's power up, which shows where your ball will bounce. But for that first ball, aim for green and orange pegs. And use the shoulder buttons and tap the stick to help fine tune your shot, too.

Always On My Mind
With only a few weeks to go until her Dublin wedding, Molly Jackson is happily anticipating married life with Declan, her boyfriend of four years. Her sister Laura has all the arrangements firmly in hand, from the designer dresses to the prestigious venue; and if Molly would have been happier with something a little more low-key, she can hardly complain. She's got everything she ever wanted: her perfect job, as an agony aunt for online magazine Teenage Kix; Declan, the love of her life; and, in Belle, Oliver, Rory and Laura, a loving and warm, if slightly eccentric family.
Then Declan drops his bombshell: he has to go abroad, on business. The wedding must be postponed. Hurt, and reeling from the shock, Molly is seeing Declan off at the airport when she bumps into Luke Fortune. Luke, her childhood sweetheart, left the country when they were both eighteen. It's been almost twelve years, and Molly thought she had moved on. But, seeing Luke again, she realises that she has a window of opportunity, while Declan is away, to put a few of the ghosts in her past to rest...

The Danny Elfman Appreciation Thread

Re: The Danny Elfman Appreciation Thread
Even though the songs as marvelous as all of 'em are tend to steal the show from the score itself. The music is still very much sublime. The melodies from most of the songs are efficiently interjected during many moments of this whimsical score.
It's intriguing to note that on the album during tracks 'Opening" and "Closing" (which was unused in the film) Patrick Stewart was the voice of the narrator, but in the film another actor's voice was used, which was un-credited in the movie . It sounded like the voice of Santa (Ed Ivory) in the movie. I don't know the story behind it. Though I am curious to why this was scraped from the final film.
As you can already tell I'm a big fan of this score. I even own the 2-CD special edition album that was released around Halloween in '06'. It featured the original 1993 soundtrack album on disc 1. Disc 2 had bonus tracks featuring some songs being adapted and performed by such artists as Marilyn Manson, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Fiona Apple, etc. It was only five particular songs adapted. It also included some of the synth mockups of the songs performed by Elfman. In the fall of '08' Disney released another album ("Nightmare Revisited") that adapted the score and songs from the TNBC original soundtrack. Which included such artists as The All-American Rejects, Korn, Yoshida Brothers, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Amy Lee, etc. As well as Elfman himself providing the narration from "Opening" and "Closing", which was a nice treat for me. I even own the version released from the 25th Anniversary Elfman/Burton Music Box released back in '11', which contained the original 1993 soundtrack album with bonus and expanded tracks. As well as all synth demos of the songs, the orchestra only versions of the songs, foreign versions of five songs, as well as an unused song "It's Time" (performed by Elfman with guitars by orchestrator/Boingo guitarist/friend Steve Bartek), a music box suite of TNBC, with some other demos, and alternate ideas.
This score as well as the film is a true masterpiece, imho. I enjoyed watching the film as a little kid. And it holds up quite well today also. I was surprised by Elfman's talents back when this was released b/c then I wasn't aware he could sing or was apart of a rock band. Even though I think the film is top notch in all depts. Elfman easily stole this movie, imho. What's funny about that is I remembering reading somewhere that he wasn't a fan of musicals. This score and film was a tour de force for him. What a way to follow Batman '89', Edward Scissorhands, and Batman Returns. Again this is a good example of Elfman being robbed of an Oscar nomination. He was robbed one for B89, Edward, and even BR ,imo, as well. Heck I even believe he should've won for TNBC. And since there wasn't any nominations for animated movies at the time, the film itself should've won a special Oscar for it's achievements of being a full length (and imaginative) stop motion animated musical. I guess it wasn't appreciated much then as it has been overtime. I don't like to rank Elfman scores, after all you know the saying "it's like picking your favorite child", but I got to say this score is top 5 (maybe even top 3) Elfman, imo. I highly recommend this movie/score to anyone who hasn't seen/heard this film/soundtrack. Both make a nice Halloween and Christmas tradition.
Happy 20th anniversary to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas!!!!

#9139 closed defect (Fixed)
video rendered tilted 45 degrees when running mythfrontend with -w and an odd number of horizontal pixels.
|Reported by:
|Johnny Stenback <mythtv-users@…>
|Owned by:
|MythTV - Video Playback
|Ticket locked:
Not a big deal, but running mythfrontent -w -geometry 711x400 (or any other odd numbered width, height can be odd w/o causing problems) causes the video playback to be rendered tilted 45 degrees to the right, so you get a split in the video starting top-right going down into the screen at a 45 degree angle). I'm seeing this on a test system where I only have software rendering (vnc server), so not a big deal, but I figured this may come up in other situations where it might actually matter.
This used to work in 0.23, broken in 0.24.

Which video render is this happening with?
This can occur when some element of the video pipeline assumes a direct relationship between the width and the stride or when a buffer allocation is not rounded up to the nearest dimension as required by the codec or the buffer's color model. Generally when such an error is made we end up painting past the end of the buffer which can cause segfaults, but we add protective padding at the end of our buffer allocations which should avoid such a segfault in most cases.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by anonymous
I'm seeing this with both the Qt and the OpenGL paint engines (just tested), but I typically use the Qt painter here (as there is no graphics hardware at all in this case, just a dumb vnc X server). I have not seen any segfaults due to this that I can recall.

Eisenstein's Criterion is stated in Dummit and Foote as follows: (see attachment)
Proposition 13 (Eisenstein's Criterion) Let P be a prime ideal of the integral domain R and let
be a polynomial in R[x] (here )
Suppose are all elements of P and suppose is not an element of .
Then f(x) is irreducible in R[x]
The beginning of the proof reads as follows:
Proof: Suppose f(x) were reducible, say f(x) = a(x)b(x) in R[x] where a(x) and b(x) are nonconstant polynomials.
Reducing the equation modulo P and using the assumptions on the coefficients of f(x) we obtain the equation in (R/P)[x] where the bar denotes polynomials with coefficients reduced modulo P... .,.. etc. etc.
I will now take a specific example with R= Z as the integral domain concerned and P = (3) as the prime ideal in Z.
Also take (for example)
Now as the proof requires, reduce f(x) mod P
Now using D&F Proposition 2 (see attached) - namely we have
and so we to obtain we simply reduce the coefficients of f(x) by mod 3
we have
The coset TEX] \overline{f(x)} [/TEX] would include elements such as and so on.
Can someone please confirm my working in this particular case of the Eisenstein proof is correct?

NYU class wrap: the unanimous wines
Last week was the final session of my six-week NYU wine class. The grouping of people was very fun and hopefully everyone is a little more wine savvy.
One of the things that I do in the class is poll people on whether they like each wine. They're free to love them or hate them and we generally have some fence-sitters too. Some people love certain wines ("smell the terroir!") that are hated by others ("smells like terroir!"). Oddly enough, the expensive wines are not always the most popular since they have either too much individuality or too much conformity to please everyone.
But some wines are unanimously enjoyed. Below is a list of those wines. Incidentally, I poured about 35 wines (blind) spanning many places and styles. One week I was away on parental leave and recruited Mollie Battenhouse to help me out. Mollie, the former sommelier at Tribeca Grill and a candidate for the Master of Wine (all she has left is her dissertation), is starting her own wine business in NYC that is a first of its kind. More on that on a future date…To the wines!
* Luneau-Papin, Clos des Allees, Muscadet 2005 $12 (find this wine)
* Godeval Godello 2006 $16 (find this wine)
* Lenz Estate Merlot, North Fork Long Island, 2001 $21 (find this wine)
* Patricia Greene, "Whistling Ridge" Pinot noir, 2006. $35 (find this wine)
* Catena Malbec 2005 $16 (find this wine)
* Yves Cuilleron, "vin de pays des Collines Rhodaniennes," Syrah 2006 $18 (find this wine)
I was most surprised by the two whites, the zippy, unoaked Godello from Spain and the Luneau-Papin, a Muscadet. But the Luneau-Papin is a great wine that is richer and creamier than many from the region so I guess it's not really surprising.
But the big surprise was the Lenz merlot. First: merlot. They were steeped in Sideways lore that merlot sucks, which, admittedly, it does all too often. Second: Long Island. But Eric Fry, an iconoclast, makes his wines in an unusual way with both assiduous barrel age and bottle age that shows the varietal character and, clearly, is a popular choice.

TxDOT reopens I-27 from Plainview to Canyon
Published 6:16 am, Monday, December 28, 2015
Shortly before noon Monday, Dec. 28, the Texas Department of Transportation reopened both north- and southbound mainlanes of I-27 in Swisher, Hale and Randall counties.
TxDOT had closed I-27 from milepost 53, north of Plainview, to milepost 103, south of Canyon, late Sunday night due to deteriorating conditions and the treat of additional snowfall
Although the roadway is now open to motorists, TxDOT continues to discourage travel throughout the region since most roadways continue to be icy, snow-packed and hazardous.
Among roadways in the immediate area that were still closed to traffic at noon Monday are State Highway 86 from Nazareth to Tulia, and from Tulia to Silverton; US 87 from Tulia to Kress; and FM 145 from Kress to Claytonville. TxDOT hopes to have those roadways open to travel by 4 p.m. Monday.
Road information is available TxDOT's toll-free highway conditions line at 800-452-9292 and www.drivetexas.org.
The New Mexico road conditions number is 1-800-432-4269.
The City of Plainview about 11:45 a.m. Monday posted an update on the conditions of local roadways:
The Police Department is working on a list of the better roads to drive on in town, but we are still recommending everyone stay home if you can. The roads are still not safe overall. There has been over 80 vehicles get stuck since the storm hit. Police can help get people out, but we can't tow vehicles. Be prepared to pay for a wrecker if your vehicle gets stuck and needs to be moved.
City staff is still working on clearing roads as they are able, but the priority will continue to be for emergency personnel, hospital access, etc.
- Olton/Highway 70 fairly clear to city limits
- East and West Service roads are passable
- 11th street is OK
- Broadway is fair
- Columbia is fair
- Yonkers is fair
- 24th is fair
Roads to avoid due to cars stuck and blocking traffic:
- Edgemere and Yonkers
- 500 block W. 28th
- 2800 block Fresno
- 2500 block W. 20th
- SE 8th and Broadway
- Westage area is also difficult to get into, but the bridge seems to be best at this point.

Saint John councillor calls for police crackdown on prostitution
CTV Atlantic
Published Wednesday, November 14, 2012 7:08PM AST
A city councillor in Saint John is calling for a police crackdown on prostitution, but others say that's not the answer to eliminating the sex trade industry.
Saint John has a bylaw prohibiting people jaywalking and from selling goods from sidewalks and Coun. Susan Fullerton feels it might also be a way to fight prostitution.
Fullerton declined to speak to CTV News, but Coun. Shirley McAlary spoke out against the motion at Tuesday night's council meeting.
She was also the only city councillor who voted against it.
"One of the councillors made a motion to refer the issue of prostitution to the Saint John Police Force, and they were requesting that the police report anyone who jaywalks, or solicits from the sidewalks, if they're a prostitute," explains Coun. Shirley McAlary.
Julie Dingwell of AIDS Saint John says she was shocked to hear about the motion and doesn't feel it's the right way to address the sex trade industry.
"We had a council that said 'I want to beat up on these people.' It just floors me," says Dingwell.
"If you fine one of these women for jaywalking, how is she going to get the money to pay for that fine? She's going to have to sex trade more."
Dingwell says one of the main areas of concern is Waterloo Street. Many people who live and work near the area say they believe the issue goes much deeper.
"Charging people with jaywalking or setting up a business on the sidewalk is not where the police need to put their efforts," says area resident Lorene Johnson.
"Put their efforts where it matters, with drugs and charging the people who are looking for those services, not with women who are vulnerable in the city."
Police are waiting to hear a presentation from council on the motion, but say prostitution hasn't gotten any worse in Saint John.
"I don't think we're any different from any other city. I think the prostitute, it's prevalent in all major centres," says Sgt. Jay Henderson.
Coincidentally, police released details today of a major prostitution bust in Moncton. Ten men appeared in court to face charges of communicating for the purpose of prostitution.

Baby Sister got a new onesie….Chris says she looks like an old school librarian in it. According to this picture, a shocked old school librarian.
Oh my word, she is so cute. Her big eyes…love them.
She has a crazy hairline…the front grows back and the top grows forward. Then they meet in the middle beneath that old Georgia pine (sorry a little country music snuck in on that. Sometimes I can't help myself)
A friend saw Baby Sister in this onesie and asked if I bought it on etsy…."Nope, I made it." And I put together a little tutorial for you all. Not that I picture crowds running out to make this funny little onesie, but I know some of you will like it. The best crafts are the ones you laugh while making them…I was laughing making this. I found an image online just looking in Google images for cat eye glasses.
Onesie or T-shirt
1. Print out of the glasses you like (sized the size you want…mine were about 5 inches wide)
2. Shiny black material
3. Iron on crystals or black fabric paint
4. Heat-n-Bond no sew iron on adhesive
Step 1: Print your image the size you want it on the shirt. Mine was about 5 inches wide. Cut the image out.
Step 2: Iron the No-Sew Adhesive to the shiny black material
Step 3: Trace your glasses
Step 4: Cut the black material (that is already adhered to the adhesive) following your traced lines
Step 5: Remove the paper lining on the adhesive
Step 6: Iron on the glasses to the onesie. I put a thin fabric between my glasses and the iron because I was afraid the heat would melt the shiny aspect of the black fabric.
Step 7: Arrange your iron-on crystals onto the onesie OR use fabric paint to make the "beads"
Step 8: Iron on the crystals following the package directions
So funny story about this onesie. I went to Hobby Lobby to get shiny black fabric. While I was waiting in line for it to be cut the woman in front of me had a pile of fabric too. Her fabric choices included Thomas the Train, Raggedy Ann, Winnie the Pooh, ABC blocks and little lambs. Here's the conversation that took place:
Hobby Lobby lady to other woman: "What are you making?"
Other Woman: "Oh some burp cloths and other items for babies. I've never seen the Raggedy Ann before. It is so great!"
Hobby Lobby Lady: "How cute! I just love all the sweet fabric we have for baby items."
Hobby Lobby lady turns to me: "And what are you making with that shiny black lycra?"
Me: "A baby oneise."
Hobby Lobby lady and Other woman in unison: "Oh." as they looked at each other in disapproval.
I was a bit embarassed. I figured telling them I was going to cut out cateye glasses and crystals would only make them more bewildered. So I sheepishly grinned, got my fabric cut and quickly left.
On a totally separate note, when I was taking pics of this onesie Baby Sister got Littlest Brother pinned to the wall….kicking his little rear.
He was quite shocked and confused. It was pretty funny.
After lots of wearing and washing, the iron on adhesive started peeling off. I ended up taking it completely off. I then used the same stencil on Freezer paper and used fabric paint. You can find all kinds of tutorials online for Freezer Paper stenciling. This will last much longer, but ultimately I preferred the look of the shiny fabric over the fabric paint for the glasses. Your call on what you prefer.

In 1858, Robert Chesebrough went into the coal-oil business using coal-oil he purchased from the Aladdin Oil Works in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. From the coal-oil Chesebrough refined lighting oil – also known as paraffin oil or kerosene – and he sold this under the Luxor Oil brand throughout the New York area.
In 1859, 'Colonel' Edwin Drake [1819-1880] successfully drilled for oil in Titusville, Pennsylvania. after hearing news of the strike Chesebrough visited Titusville to see for himself what prospects were available. It was there, according to legend, that he came across 'rod wax' the substance from which he eventually extracted Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.
The commercial extraction of Vaseline from rod wax took a decade and was not accomplished until 1869. In the meantime Chesebrough also expanded his Luxor Oil business – now using petroleum rather than coal as its source – got married, and patented a number of purification processes that would be important to the developing petroleum industry.
The process by which "Vaseline" is made is the only known process of deodorizing petroleum without impairing its properties for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and toilet purposes.
… [I]n the manufacture of "Vaseline" no acids are used, the petroleum being simply concentrated by dry heat to a jelly, and repeatedly filtered through animal charcoal, substantially as white sugar is made, and is perfectly harmless.
See also: Petrolatum/Petroleum Jelly.
There are different ideas about the origin of the name 'Vaseline' but I think it is safe to say that its derivation is a combination of 'Wasser' (the German word for water) and 'elaion' (the Greek word for oil) – it was a 'water-oil'. Like many other chemists of the time, Chesebrough would have believed that petroleum oil was formed by a chemical action between carbon and hydrogen in water. This idea lost ground to the Geological Theory in the twentieth century, but by then the word had stuck.
Chesebrough began selling Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in 1870 as a curative and soothing agent, as well as a base for ointments and salves. Wholesale and retail druggists were largely disinterested in it and sales were low until he began sending out employees with carts to hand out free samples to housewives and doctors – it is estimated that over half-a-million such samples were distributed by 1873 (Williamson, Andreano, Daum & Klose, 1959, p. 251). Robert Chesebrough also spent time doing demonstrations of Vaseline to prospective customers.
Chesebrough was the first company to distribute free samples on such a massive scale and others learnt from its success. The free samples were made possible in part by the low cost of Vaseline, but also by the ease in which it could be made, packaged and distributed; Vaseline's long storage life must also have helped. The free distribution was later replaced by the sample pack; sold at a nominal charge and sent postage free to customers who wrote in for it.
The first major commercial customer of Vaseline appears to have been the pharmacist Edmond Fougera [1821-1889] who sold it through his drug store in Brooklyn from 1874, the same year that Chesebrough established the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company.
To help sales, Chesebrough also submitted Vaseline to a range of scientific and medical societies and displayed it at various national and international expositions. Awards for the product included Grand Medal at the U.S. Centennial Exposition in 1876, Silver Medal at the Paris Exposition in 1878, and Highest Award at the London Medical International Congress in 1881.
In 1876 Vaseline got a major boost when it was endorsed by the London medical journal 'The Lancet'. This led to an increased interest from physicians in the United States, Britain and Europe (AP&EOR, 1927), and marks the beginning of Vaseline's establishment as a global household staple. Following its general acceptance by the medical profession, Chesebrough embarked on a general advertising campaign aimed at the public at large. By 1884, factories to produce Vaseline had been established in France, England, Germany, Italy and other countries (Fougera, 1884) and in 1894 an arrangement was reached with Colgate & Company to distribute Vaseline nationwide in the United States.
Chesebrough patented the process for making Vaseline in 1872. It is clear from reading this patent that he saw Vaseline as having a variety of purposes beyond skin care. Part of the reason for this was that the process for manufacturing Vaseline resulted in white, blond, and red types, each with varying purity – white being the purest – which necessitated each type being used for different purposes, e.g. white for medical uses and skin care, red for veterinary uses and leather goods.
Vaseline is especially useful in carrying, stuffing, and oiling all kinds of leather. It is also a good lubricator, and may be used to great advantage on all kinds of machinery. The finest grade of vaseline is also adapted to use as a pomade for the hair, and will be found excellent for that purpose, one of its chief recommendations being that it does not oxidize. It is also an excellent substitute for glycerine-cream for chapped hands, &c., which it resembles closely in touch and somewhat in appearance.
Chesebrough produced products in all of the categories mentioned in the patent. By 1886 – along with Luxor Oil, now made from petroleum – he was selling a range of Vaseline products for a variety of purposes. Medicinal products included Vaseline, White Vaseline, Vaseline Oil, Camphorated Vaseline (for Rheumatism), Carbolated Vaseline (containing carbolic acid), Vaseline Cerate and Vaseline Confections (for throat and pulmonary complaints). For toilet use there was White Vaseline, Pomade Vaseline (for hair), Vaseline Oil (perfumed for hair), Vaseline Hair Tonic, Vaseline Cold Cream, Vaseline Cosmetique and a variety of soaps including Superfine, Family and Tar. In addition he sold 'Filtrene' (a sewing machine oil), Veterinary Vaseline, Vaseline Boot Paste, Vaseline Anti-Corrosive Paste, Vaseline Harness Paste and Vaseline Axle Paste, all of which could be used around the house or farm.
Leaving aside the pomade and hair tonic there are two products in this list that are of greater interest to the story of cosmetics – 'Vaseline Cold Cream' and 'Vaseline Cosmetique'.
Vaseline Cold Cream was the first commercial skin care product to be made using a refined petroleum ingredient. Its main advantages over traditional cold cream formulations would have been its lower cost and longer shelf life. It was widely copied and led to the incorporation of petrolatum into a wide variety of face creams and other cosmetics.
See also: Cold Creams
Vaseline Cosmetique is a bit of a mystery. It is tempting to think that it was a petrolatum form of water cosmetique, which would mean that it would have been used to temporarily cover grey hair. This would make sense considering that Chesebrough was already making a pomade and a hair tonic. If so, it would be a precursor for other petrolatum-based cosmetics used by women to darken their eyebrows and eyelashes. The Densoline Cleveland Petroleum Co. sold a similarly named product named 'Densoline Cosmetique' in large and small sticks wrapped in silver paper. This is consistent with it being a temporary hair stain which – unlike water cosmetique – would not run at the first sign of perspiration.
See also: Water Cosmetique
A number of companies were soon selling products similar to those produced by Chesebrough – like 'Cosmoline' and 'Densoline'. The Chesebrough Company used its patents to protect its production processes and had trademark legislation passed by Congress in 1870, 1881 and 1905 to protect its trade name Vaseline. Chesebrough also introduced a Blue Seal label top for Vaseline in 1888 to visually distinguish its products from competitors.
The Chesebrough Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1880 and almost immediately became majority owned by the Standard Oil Trust. For the trust, ownership of Chesebrough had two main advantages. As well as owning a series of important refining patents Chesebrough was a lucrative outlet for a petroleum by-product. For Chesebrough, an alliance with Standard Oil gave them a reliable source of supply and possibly a degree of protection from competing products that appeared on the market. The company would remain part of Standard Oil until the trust was broken up in 1911, after which Chesebrough once more became an independent entity.
Separated from Standard Oil, Chesebrough lost its guaranteed supply of the raw materials and when these were discontinued in 1920 the company acquired a controlling interest in Duhring Development Company, Pennsylvania and in Clifton Oil & Gas, West Virginia and continued to do so until 1948.
In the 1950s Chesebrough also became interested in the used of mineral oil and in 1954 established a new research laboratory at Amboy and began building a white oil plant there as well.
One of the characteristics of petroleum jelly is that other chemicals can be easily incorporated into it. Chesebrough had already produced products using camphor and carbolic acid but later extended the range so that, by 1911, it included the following:
Capsicum Vaseline: "Better than a mustard plaster; easier to apply and does not blister the skin. Rub on at night for sore throat or cold in the chest".
Carbolated Vaseline: "This perfect antiseptic dressing is the safest way of utilizing the cleansing and healing values of Carbolic Acid, with the soothing comfort of Vaseline".
Mentholated Vaseline: "Relieves headache, neuralgia or any nerve pain. The menthol soothes the nerves while Vaseline conducts it quickly to the seat of trouble".
White Vaseline: "Colds and sore throats are easily helped by White Vaseline taken internally. Has no taste. Children take it more readily than other medicines".
Vaseline Camphor Ice: "Superior to anything in use for chapped hands and lips and to allay all irritation".
Apart from Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, the company's main consumer products of the twentieth century were for the hair, including: Vaseline Hair Tonic (1916) and Vaseline Cream Hair Tonic (1942) and Vaseline Soapless Shampoo (1942). They also develop an Eyebrow-Eyelash Cream and a Cuticle and Nail Cream but I have been unable to determine whether or not these products were commercially successful.
Chesebrough's 1950 product list included the following:
Vaseline Hair Tonic: "a clear, colorless product that checks Dry Scalp, gives hair a well-groomed look".
Vaseline Cream Hair Tonic: "contains Viratol (with lanolin), an exclusive compound which imparts a 'just-combed' look; keeps your hair neat without stiffness".
Vaseline Petroleum Jelly (White and Yellow): "first aid for minor burns; sunburn; rough, dry or irritated skin; nasal and throat irritations due to colds or hay fever; baby care".
Vaseline Carbolated Petroleum Jelly: "a valuable dressing for minor cuts and abrasions; skin irritations, especially where itching is caused by crustations, chapping or cracking".
Vaseline Borated Petroleum Jelly: "A soothing emollient especially recommended for simple irritation of the eyelids; a valuable aid in the nursery".
Vaseline Camphor Ice: "for rough, chapped skin; sun and wind burn".
Vaseline Lip Ice: "for chapped, sore or cracked lips; cold and fever sores".
Vaseline Eyebrow-Eyelash Cream: "for highlighting and grooming brows and lashes; gives soft luminous effect to the eyelids without coloring".
Vaseline Cuticle and Nail Cream: "softens, helps control cuticle and prevent roughness and hangnails".
Vaseline Sterile Petroleum Gauze Dressing: "an absorbent gauze impregnated with 'Vaseline' White Petroleum Jelly".
Vaseline Pomade: "a pleasantly scented hair dressing in jelly form".
Some uses for Vaseline, such as a Vaseline Sterile Petroleum Gauze Dressing (1944) – developed through a Fellowship at the Mellon Institute for Industrial Research in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania – were medical in nature and it is only after the company merged with Pond's and 'Vaseline Intensive Care' arrived, that the Vaseline story becomes cosmetically interesting again.

Have you heard of staycations? They are a great way of discovering your local community and seeing it through the eyes of an outsider. Today is "Small Business Saturday" and I celebrate what can be found in my local community. You take the time to discover what your town has to offer without traveling hundreds of miles. You can take this idea to any town you live in. Take the time to discover those local gems where customer service is alive and well!
I was contacted by a friend who was planning a staycation in Fargo with her gourmet wine club. The days were broken up and each couple was in charge of a part of the staycation. She had participated in an "Amazing Race Chicago" for work and wanted to try it in Fargo. If you have seen the "Amazing Race" on CBS, you know it is a race comprised of couples who have to solve clues to find the next location and then perform a task at that location. To pull off the "Amazing Race Fargo", she needed help as she wanted to participate and she knew she couldn't if she was part of the planning. She turned it over to me and I literally ran with it.
They have been a tight knit group for many years now….many have tried to break in and be part of this group, but all have failed. I figured this was my perfect opportunity to really show them what I can do to add to their already fabulous group……here is my audition:
My parameters were simple….stay in downtown Fargo. I knew right away what to do and to what stores I wanted to go and ask for help. Let me start by saying….today is "Small Business Saturday" and every single one of the businesses I contacted was willing to help. No business turned me down. They were all fabulous to work with and they all had fabulous treasures within the walls of their business. Without giving too much of what I did away….as I don't want to ruin the surprise for any other group that wants to do this….I want to thank all of the businesses that were so generous.
Below you will find the list of participating businesses and links to their websites and a little bit of information as to what services they provide.
The Kilbourne Group: Kilbourne Group was founded in 2006 by Doug Burgum with the mission of providing thought leadership on the revitalization, smart growth and redevelopment of Fargo, North Dakota's downtown core. The Kilbourne Group team shares the vision of retaining and carrying forward the history of Fargo through the restoration of historic buildings and the creation of new buildings that honor the past and inspire the future. Exceptional commercial and residential properties available from Kilbourne Group include downtown Fargocondos, loft apartments, retail, office and commercial space and Minnesota getaway lake properties
Mosaic Catering and Mezzaluna:First and foremost a catering service, but also offering seasonal cooking classes as well as special occasion dinners. They are dedicated to designing menus based on every clients needs & desires. Their menus are composed through the chef's personal inspirations, utilizing quality ingredients.
Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre : They provide theatrical and educational opportunities to enrich and engage the greater community.
C. Lizzy's: A mother/daughter team who gather inspiration from each other and are following their artistic talents. Together they are creating hand made art work.
The Candy Bar: A nostalgic candy store specializing in old fashioned candy from the 1900's to today.
Josie's Corner: Located at 524 North Broadway, this little gem of a bakery and lunch spot makes everything from scratch and is named after the owners grandmother….what is not to love?
Zanbroz: With the rise of coffee franchises, big box stores, and the internet in the mid-1990's, the stores' selection evolved into a wide variety of gifts: bath and body, fine pens, toys, cards and stationery, jewelry, novelty, handmade papers, kitchen gadgets, tea, coffee, home decor … and we're probably forgetting something. Oh yeah, books. Why dig through the piles of a clearance dumping ground that the big box bookstores have become, when every book on our shelves has been selected for a good reason? Truly, something for everyone on your list, including yourself.
The Fargo Theater: Built in 1926 as a cinema and vaudeville theatre, the beautifully restored Fargo Theatre is now the premiere destination for cutting edge independent and foreign film. The theatre is also Fargo's hottest downtown venue for concerts, plays and other live events. In spring of 2009, the Fargo Theatre opened a second screen as part of a multi-use urban infill project. The Fargo Theatre is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit management corporation and was placed on the National Register of Historical Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

When famed pro wrestling Bob Mulrenin filed his exclusive report from the Pro Championship Wrestling show in Chicago, he couldn't stop talking about one person. It wasn't Bret "The Hitman" Hart, who made a special appearance in front of the sold out crowd. It wasn't Mick Foley, who also made a special appearance. It was TNA Knockout Rosita.
"She's going to be a huge star," Mulrenin stated, and he should know. He's been covering pro wrestling since 1978. "Rosita could be very happy with TNA's easy schedule and national television exposure, but she gets herself booked on high quality independent promotions like PCW so she can sharpen her skills. She's very motivated to be the best in the business."

Musings: Angels Amongst Us…
"The angels are as perfect in form as they are in spirit." Jeanne D'Arc
Do you believe in angels? Do you believe there are angels and perhaps aliens amongst us? I do. Yes, I have tackled this topic in the past, and I return to it because I have read that when the world is in turmoil and people are struggling to make sense of difficult conditions, the angels come and walk amongst us to give us comfort and help. Also, I return to it because I believe I met an angel recently… but I'm ahead of myself. Of course, key to this notion of having angels in our midst is the belief that we must also ask for help and believe that we will receive it.
"If you seek an angel with an open heart… You shall always find one." Anonymous
A few days ago, I was taking a walk on the Croton Aqueduct and believe I met an angel. If you've read this blog before, you'd know that I have written about my nature walks on the beautiful aqueduct before; I find both solace and creative inspiration when taking my leisurely walks there and also get the benefit of great exercise. While walking, I stumbled on a rock and my mini radio went flying out of my hand. I love listening to different music stations and NPR on my radio and usually clip it to my shirt. As I stumbled, this ethereal being showed up out of nowhere. More below… 😉
Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow! Grow!'…" Talmud
As he started walking towards me, I paused in surprise and then quickly bent down to reach for my radio. In the bat of an eyelid, he was right in front of me and flashing a huge smile like a thousand suns, he asked me "Are you okay reaching for that?" It was said with the utmost care and compassion; not the way a predator would ask the question… I smiled back, picked up the mini radio and said "Yes, thank you. I can get it." He smiled warmly and said "There. Good job!" and pausing in front of me as if in quiet prayer, he smiled again and then sauntered off. Oh yes, he looked just like Archangel Michael in the picture above. He didn't sound like you or me; his voice had a distant echo to it and almost alien like… but it was soothing no less. Now this might seem like an innocuous conversation to anyone, but for me, it was rich in meaning for reasons I wont divulge at this time… What I do remember is that my mind stopped its usual chatter, I felt lighthearted and blessed. Sure, we can all be angels to someone, and then sometimes, the heavenly angels show up for us too. What are your thoughts? Have you ever met an angel? Do you believe in angels on earth? Do share! Thank you. 😉
This post was inspired by a prompt from Plinky: Do you think aliens have ever visited Earth?
Positive Motivation Tip: Angels are everywhere and ready to help us all too… Pay attention.

Oh yes! I've been cradled by angels more than once. The voice you speak of was repeating to me as my car was spinning in the air, "You're going to be fine…. you're going to be fine…" It was comforting and surreal at the same time. The angel was correct…I was fine.
Love this!

Ever since he appeared in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, Anil Kapoor has made a name for himself in Hollywood. He became household in the west with his popular Hollywood TV series 24. A Hindi remake of the show, 24 was also telecasted on COLORS TV with two seasons.
After proving himself to be one of the most versatile actors of Bollywood, Anil Kapoor has now geared up to make a comeback on small screen with his next Hollywood series, Oasis. He shared a sneak peek of Oasis on his social media account.
A glimpse of Vikram Danesh's world...Easily one of the the most exciting projects I've ever worked on!#AmazonPilots @AmazonVideoUK pic.twitter.com/q5niRm1nby— Anil Kapoor (@AnilKapoor) April 1, 2017
He captioned it: A glimpse of Vikram Danesh's world...Easily one of the the most exciting projects I've ever worked on!#AmazonPilots @AmazonVideoUK
The pilot episode of the show was aired on Amazon video and it managed to create quite a buzz on the internet. The fate of the full series will depend on the viewership of the pilot episode. In case, the audience doesn't appreciate the episode much, the serious will be dropped off.
Oasis is based on Michel Faber's novel 'The Book of Strange New Things'. It narrates the adventures of Scottish Chaplain on an exoplanet colony. Chaplain Peter Leigh, played by Richard Madden is the lead character of the series.
Apart from Anil Kapoor and Richard Madden, Aislín McGuckin, Jonjo O'Neill, Antje Traue, Michael James Shaw, Haley Joel Osment, Mark Addy, Zawe Ashton, Maureen Sebastian and Flora Spencer-Longhurst will also be seen in the movie.
Anil has always been lauded for his experimental ventures in Hollywood. Let's see if succeeds to sizzle his magic this time as well.

The Lost Art of DowntimeAnne Tergesen
I just returned from a week off. Our itinerary (Disney World, Yankee spring training) wasn't designed to maximize R&R. But despite activity-filled days, I did get some much-needed mental downtime. No email. No deadlines. No "to do" list. No tiresome juggling of the demands of work and home. For the first time in months, I felt totally focused on the moment "instead of doing things with half a mind and spirit"—to quote a former colleague.
Sounds par for the course when it comes to vacation, right? No way. Thanks to BlackBerries, cellphones, laptops, and overnight mail, my husband and most of the friends we linked up with on our travels were in constant touch with colleagues and clients. During a Yankees game, my husband conducted a conference call while two of our sons sat on his lap singing "God Bless America." At a pizza party in our hotel room last Saturday night, a lawyer friend whipped out his BlackBerry: "We have a filing due on Monday," he explained. An investment banker had it worst of all: A conference call at Disney World; documents expressed mailed to his hotel room; at least one morning holed up with his laptop; and constant BlackBerry messages. The poor guy even tapped out messages on his Crack—er, I mean Black—Berry at a restaurant as fireworks from the Magic Kingdom exploded in the distance. But he was smart enough to make the best of his misfortune: Every day, after parking in one of Disney's vast lots, he'd email himself the location of his car.
With all of this frenzied work going on during roller coaster rides and 7th inning stretches, I hit upon a rather obvious conclusion: Technology has rendered downtime obsolete (at least for lawyers and bankers). My husband argues the phenomenon isn't new and that technology isn't the problem. He says that because so much of his work is done in teams, each member has to be on call around-the-clock or nothing would ever get accomplished. Without his BlackBerry, he'd have spent more of our vacation on a cellphone. Without his cellphone, he'd have been stuck in the hotel room.
But I'm not convinced. It's hard for me to believe that the hundreds of emails and dozen or so phone calls he received over the week were all necessary. Technology makes it so easy to be in touch all the time, it seems to encourage the habit of compulsive communication. Moreover, when you're sitting on the beach or at a ballgame and an email pops into your inbox, it's hard not to take "just a few minutes" to read and respond—whether the matter is crucial or not.
My goal isn't to criticize my friends or husband, who seem to do a pretty good job of coping. Instead, my point is to express alarm about the endangered state of downtime. "Downtime is a lost art," says Dr. Edward Hallowell, a psychiatrist and expert on Attention Deficit Disorder.
I recently about his new book, "CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap—Strategies for Coping in a World Gone ADD" (Ballantine Books; $24.95). In it, he argues that our society is afflicted with an environmentally induced form of ADD, brought on by technology and activity overload. The solution? Turn off your cellphones and BlackBerries as often has you possibly can. And ruthlessly prioritize by "giving yourself permission to end relationships and projects" that are draining, Hallowell advises. In other words, reclaim some downtime—not just to save your sanity and family time, but to ensure your mind gets the rest it needs to function creatively. Hopefully, employers will get the message before employees get too burnt out.

Title: The Evolution of Shadows
Author: Jason Quinn Malott
Publisher: Unbridled Books
Publication Date: October 30, 2009
Paperback: 272 pages
Genre: Fiction
From the Publisher:
In July of 1995, the news photographer Gray Banick disappeared into the Bosnian war zone and doing so took away pieces of the hearts of three people who loved him: Emil Todorović, his interpreter and friend; Jack MacKenzie, his mentor who taught Gray to hold his camera steady between himself and the worst that war presents; and Lian Zhao, who didn't have the strength to love him as he wanted her to. Now, almost five years later, they have gathered in Sarajevo to find out what happened to Gray, the man who had taught them all what love is.
Each driven character in this novel believes fully that there is a love strong enough to sustain them, even in the extreme circumstances of war. But each time they have uncovered a glimpse of such a thing, they have failed tragically love itself.
Or, to see it another way, this is a novel about how love fails us every time—or almost every time.
My Review:
The Evolution of Shadows by Jason Quinn Malott takes the reader on an emotional ride as three of Gray Banick's friends, a veteran photojournalist, a translator, and an ex-lover return to Gray Banick's last known whereabouts in hopes of finding some evidence of what became of him. In 2000, Jack Mackenzie and Lian Zhao travel to war-torn Bosnia to meet up with Emil Todorović to search for their mutual friend, photojournalist Gray Banick who was last seen in July 1995 in the woods near Potocari, north of Srebrenica. As the three travel, the reader learns how each met Gray and about their respective relationships with him.
The Evolution of Shadows is told through various different voices, both past and present, clearly evoking vivid images and emotions that allow the reader to become close to each of the characters. Emil, Jack, and Lian are scarred in their own ways and have their own personal issues to face: Emil's family was murdered and his fiancée was taken; Jack a veteran war journalist has turned to alcohol to help ease his pains, both physical and emotional; and Lian, now married to Daniel, cannot forget her love for Gray and the emotions that haunt her to this day. The Evolution of Shadows is a brilliantly orchestrated debut novel that once begun, cannot be set down.
Malott's writing is close to brilliant as he describes both the past and present and the hope of the future. His description of the Bosnian War and the atrocities that occurred are clear, articulate and detailed in a manner that would suggest the author had been present, which to my knowledge he had not. Yet his writings took me back to years before the setting of his book, to a country of untold beauty and the stark reminder of what happened over a decade after I was there.
This novel is so well written and emotionally intense that one must remind oneself it is a work of fiction as The Evolution of Shadows reads a lot like a memoir. This hauntingly beautiful tribute to love, friendship and humanity will keep the reader engaged and mesmerised. Without reservation, I would recommend The Evolution of Shadows to any reader looking for an exceptional literary novel that will linger in memory long after the story has ended.
About the Author:
Jason Quinn Malott has been the publisher of the online literary journal The Project for a New Mythology. The Evolution of Shadows is his first novel.

I received a complimentary copy of The Evolution of Shadows by Jason Quinn Malott from Unbridled Books. Receiving a complimentary copy in no way reflected my review of aforementioned novel.

In today's busy world, staying healthy and making the right choices for your body has become increasingly difficult. Because many of today's roids.co products contain artificial ingredients, your body can slowly accumulate toxins that can make you feel tired and run down. Completing a cleanse diet that consists of natural juices and special detox foods can help you effectively cleanse your internal system and restore your health. And for people who smoke I say that this is the best time to quit smoking or if you really cant then switch over to e juice products.
Cleanse diets are ideal for people who lead an active lifestyle and do not want to endure the strict low-calorie guidelines of juice fasting. A cleanse diet offers many of the same benefits as juice fasting including detoxification, weight loss and improved overall wellbeing. But unlike liquid juice fast plans, cleanse detox diets allow, and even encourage, the consumption of a variety of healthy solid foods. If you are hesitant to try a liquid fast, completing a cleanse diet is a great way to introduce your body and mind to the many advantages of detoxification dieting and you can train according to Beauty Tips by Bailey. By the way aside from body improvements, you can learn other beauty tips from phoenix beauty schools like Skin and Makeup Institute. They are committed to train qualified students with the marketable tools necessary to obtain employment in the aesthetics industry. Their educators have an extensive range of experience and training, bringing real world skills to the students.
How to Get Ready for Your Cleanse Diet
1. You must be in relatively good health before you can start a detox diet. If you have a serious health condition, such as anemia or diabetes, it may not be safe for you to omit certain foods. If you are unsure whether a cleanse diet is right for you, consult your doctor before moving forward.
2. Reduce your consumption of caffeine and hard-to-digest foods like red meat before you begin your cleanse diet. This will make the transition to eating a more restrictive diet easier and prevent caffeine withdrawals. You should also start cutting out deserts and artificial sweeteners at least a few days before starting your detox plan.
3. Set your own time limits. Cleanse diets typically last anywhere from three to 21 days. The length of your diet depends on your body, lifestyle and preferences. You don't necessarily need to decide right away how long your diet needs to be. You can finish it and transition to eating other foods when you feel that you have accomplished your detox goals.
4. Plan your menu ahead of time for at least the first couple of days of your cleanse diet. Also, a really good juicer will go a long way, it will save you from buying pre-made juices, but beware not all juicers are created equal, take a look here for best juicers reviews, they will make an informed consumer out of you. Make a shopping list, and stock up on your favorite fruits and vegetables. Buying detox foods ahead of time will help you avoid the temptation to get unhealthy foods when grocery shopping during a cleanse diet.
Sample Detox Diet Plan
Homemade fruit juice or smoothie
Piece of fresh fruit
Steamed vegetables
Salad with a variety of vegetables and homemade dressing (can also be dressed in olive oil)
Small bowl of brown rice
Freshly squeezed fruit or vegetable juice
Lean animal protein (fish, chicken or turkey), grilled
Assorted vegetables
Baked chickpeas (can be spiced with cayenne pepper for additional flavor)
One serving of approved grains
Sliced fruit or fresh fruit juice for desert
Snacks (limit to one snack in between each meal)
Fresh juices and smoothies
Crunchy vegetables such carrots and celery
One serving of your favorite fruit
Fruit or vegetable juice
What Can You Eat During a Cleanse Diet?
Berries – Include unsweetened cranberries. They contain a higher concentration of antioxidants than other types of fruits. Consuming antioxidants can help you strengthen your immune system and protect your body from significant health risks such as cancer.
Lemons and Limes
Dried fruits – Should be used sparingly because dried fruits contain more natural sugars and calories than fresh fruits.
Sea vegetables (kelp, dulse, wakame, nori)
Leafy Greens (lettuce, cabbage, chard, kale, collards, bok choy, spinach, watercress, arugula)
Legume vegetables (green beans, chickpeas, lentils, snap peas, snow peas, red beans).
Fruit vegetables (squash, zucchini, bell peppers, cucumbers)
Brown rice
Wehani rice
Wheat-free sprouted grain bread
Lean Animal Protein
Fish (wild salmon, haddock, halibut, trout, cod)
Crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster)
Pine nuts
Sesame seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Sunflower seeds
Hemp seeds
Herbs and Spices
Tarragon (ground or fresh)
Chili peppers (jalapeno, chipotle, habanero)
Ginger (fresh or powdered)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Coconut oil
Almond oil
Flax oil
Hemp oil
Fresh juices (fruit and vegetable)
Water mixed with honey or lemon
Herbal teas
What Food Should You Avoid During Your Cleanse Diet?
Red meat
Dairy products
Foods that contain wheat
Sweeteners including sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup (avoid products that are sweetened with sugar such as jams and jellies. If you want to eat a fruit spread, make it yourself out of your favorite fresh fruits)
Condiments including mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sauces and bottled salad dressings (make your own dressing with approved ingredients)
Chocolate and other processed deserts (substitute with fresh fruit)
Margarine and butter
Caffeinated beverages including energy drinks, coffee, and teas (can be substituted with caffeine-free herbal teas)
Savory snacks such as chips or pretzels (replace with nuts)
How to Finish Your Cleanse Diet
1. Avoid the temptation to eat the same type of foods you were eating before you started your cleanse diet. Take your accomplishment as an opportunity to change the way you eat and start making healthier choices.
2. Finish your diet safely by slowly adding in other types of foods and using different cooking techniques to prepare your meals. Wait a week until you reintroduce red meat, dairy and wheat into your diet. Try to avoid going back to using artificial sweeteners and eating products that contain a lot of salt or sugar.

Marrying from Different ReligionsVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
is it wrong for people to marry if they are different religions
RomanceClass.com Advice
If you mean wrong in a religious sense, each religion has its rules and regulations about who you can and cannot marry. Most religions let you marry anyone you love that is an adult and of the opposite sex. Some religions are more strict and require the person marrying into the religion to convert before the marriage is approved.
But if you just mean in a moral sense, there are MILLIONS of people who marry someone of a different religion. It's extremely common! Plus, many people change religions over the years. Many people change religion to match their spouse! So in one sense marrying outside your religion is a great thing - because your spouse might learn more about your religion, decide to convert and now you have even more people in your local church or mosque or whatever!

In a New York Minute (The Eagles), the New York Dolls (band), will be doing the New York Groove (the band Kiss), at New York City Speed (Kill Hannah), with The Only Living Boy in New York (Simon & Garfunkel), because, New York's in Love (David Bowie).
For a city so overwhelmingly huge, filled with so much color, culture, and life, New York City always strikes me the same way. It's the Emerald City from a distance. It's Diagon Alley on all its little side streets, its another world in Times Square. It's the safest place in the world to walk confidently along in heels and fancy clothes. It's the most dangerous monster in the world, and you are inside of it.
I love New York. Even though I'm pretty sure t-shirt makers beat me to that statement years ago.
But at the same time, I exclaim "I love Jersey!" as we drive through on the way (much to Brigid Heslin's amusement), so really, what basis of comparison do I have?
I love the people. If you aren't people watching in NYC, are you sleep walking? I love the urgency of crossing the street. I'd like to say that I love the food, but I've really only had their pizza, but that's wonderful regardless. I love simple things about the city. Things like the anonymity. The seeming endlessness of it all. Even the pigeons.
But then I come home. I see the skyline, The Emerald City all a-glow with a billion light bulbs, lighting a billion rooms, and I watch the flat that is New Jersey whisk by the windows. It's always late, and I drift off with some sad boy-band cooing about love and longing in my headphones, and when I wake up, I'm home.
Home with my two story house and three story pine trees. My pure black deep dark outside my window at night. My quiet road no one drives down after 11:30 every night. My clear sky with its stars and cool breezes and clean air.
I love New York City. It's true.
New York City is charming.
Being in New York City makes me feel like I'm in love.
But being home makes me feel loved.

Let it Snow: Google That and it Actually Does!by Free Britney at . Comments
Just in time for the holidays, Google has outdone itself once again. In a Firefox or Chrome browser, all you have to do is Google "let it snow" ... and it will!
Seriously, this is awesome ... unless you live in the Great Plains and are already buried in massive drifts of real snow. Then it may seem a little less magical.
You should still try it. After you type "let it snow" into the search engine, you can sit back and watch it fall from the top of the browser, filling up the screen.

It was a momentous occasion at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park when we celebrated gorilla Vila's 54th birthday on November 23, 2011. Party guests included gorilla fans of all ages who have generously contributed to the gorillas' online Animal Care Wish List, providing all kinds of items to pique the gorillas' interest and stimulate their minds!
The exhibit was decorated with all kinds of fun: large, painted cardboard animals, papier-mache balloons, wrapped packages filled with treats like popcorn, raisins, carrots, bell peppers, apples, magazines with seeds inside, puzzle feeders, plastic balls filled with lettuce and kale, mirrors, paper towel rolls, lots of tasty plants such as ginger, banana leaves, and eugenia. A brightly colored "Happy Birthday" sign and streamers were glued to the wall with peanut butter!
To look at her, you would never guess that Vila is a great-great grandmother, the matriarch of five generations of gorillas at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. Born in 1957, Vila was raised at the Zoo's Children's Zoo, where she grew to be a favorite among visitors and an important ambassador for her species. Participating in a landmark study on great ape intelligence that spanned six years, Vila contributed to the base of scientific knowledge about gorillas. Then paired with Albert, another San Diego legend, she gave birth in 1965 to Alvila, the first gorilla born in San Diego and only the fifth gorilla to be born in a zoo.
Upon moving to the Safari Park in 1975, Vila quickly endeared herself to the visitors and staff. Although reproductive problems prevented her from maintaining additional pregnancies, Vila's gentleness and patience with infants made her a perfect candidate to be a surrogate mother for infants whose own mothers could not or would not take care of them. One such infant was her granddaughter, Alberta. Raised in the Park's Animal Care Center, Alberta started making daily visits to the gorilla exhibit with her keepers at four months of age. It was Vila's calm manner and sustained interest in the infant that earned Vila the opportunity to raise her granddaughter.
While Vila acted as a surrogate mother for hand-reared infants, mother-reared infants have also gravitated toward her. This attraction proved invaluable when Vila took over the care of Schroeder, a three-year-old whose mother had died of a rare condition. Although he no longer needed to nurse, such a young gorilla would still be in need of nurturing. Fortunately, he and Vila had already established an exceptionally strong bond, and she immediately took over his care, insuring his place in the troop.
Characteristically, Vila is letting our newest baby, little Monroe, call the shots in their relationship! At five months of age, the little guy is really starting to explore, and his mom, Kokamo, ever watchful, is loosening her grip. Just this morning, Monroe had his nose right next to Vila's face as she ate some melon, and later, when he was clumsily trying to climb a hanging tire, Vila lent a helping hand and cradled his head in her palm.
Vila has a long history of nurturing infants and mentoring other gorillas, which not only establishes her as an invaluable member of the troop but also identifies the strength of the troop social dynamic and family unit. The capability of gorillas to overcome inadequacies in their rearing through the establishment of conspecific relationships is remarkable. The relationships between the individuals continue to evolve as youngsters are born into the troop and throughout all the stages of life.
Little is known about gerontology in gorillas, as they have only been studied in the wild since the mid-1960s. Throughout her life, Vila has and will continue to contribute immeasurably to the scientific base of knowledge for her species. She also continues to add a rich dimension to the daily life of her troop. It is a rare opportunity we have at the Safari Park to witness such a remarkably full gorilla life and vibrant, natural troop dynamic.
At the impressive age of 54, Vila is an elderly, but quite healthy, gorilla. Living in southern California certainly seems to agree with her. She receives a daily senior multivitamin. She has lost some teeth and, yes, tooth loss and periodontal disease have been reported in free-ranging gorilla populations. In the wild, this type of condition would eventually lead to the gorilla's demise. Although Vila has lost a number of teeth throughout her life, she has the distinct advantage of exceptional medical care, and she continues to enjoy an excellent quality of life. Corn on the cob is still a favorite, and she doesn't miss a kernel!
