There is an opening scene of fire followed by a montage of curiously compelling rituals, including a scene of a woman blowing smoke from a cigar onto the naked back of a man whose arms are splayed outward. This is the fascinating story of María Lionza, a rapidly growing religion in Venezuela. María Lionza, a mixture of Christian and pagan beliefs (with a dash of Viking thrown in), is rapidly luring adherents to its drum beats, fire dancing and smoke massage. And they all gather each October at Sorte Mountain in Venezuela for a sprawling fiesta. The video was reported by Simon Romero of The New York Times, shot by the freelancer Anahi Arahas and edited by my fellow video journalist Emily Hager. The scenes here are wonderfully composed and brim with an energy that keeps you watching. But it is also a deeply informed look into an unusual and visually dazzling subculture that many of us hardly knew existed. (E.O.)
In grainy black-and-white footage, a tunnel is methodically constructed and individuals are lowered into a sandy abyss, and we hear the voices of East Berliners who spent six months hoping to defy a barricade of mortar and bricks. This is the first of five installments of The Guardian's thorough and compelling video feature commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. "It all started with barbed wire on Aug. 13th… ." Weaving the voices of residents, journalists, historians, former border guards and Stasi officials, the five segments (totaling 30 minutes) cover the building of the wall ("one of the bleakest, most brutal and inhuman bits of masonry ever built"), life in a bifurcated city, a growing resistance, the wall's eventual demise and the road to reunification. The videos weave first-person anecdotes with contextual perspective and historical images with present-day footage to create a dynamic portrait of one of the most important events in recent history. (K.B.)
With popular serial dramas like "The Sopranos" and "Deadwood," HBO has developed a reputation for innovative television. On the Web, however, it has not made much of an impact. That could change with the advent of the HBO Cube. The conceit here is that your understanding of a story changes as your perspective does. And in this case, your perspective really does change. As you click on the edges of the cube, it turns and reveals other facets of a scene, literally speaking. It's clever, and for the most part, it works. In this particular segment, "The Affair," there is enough drama and intrigue to compel you to watch the whole thing and look forward to more (assuming your computer's processor is powerful enough. I had several applications open, and the film choked before I closed them). I doubt that the cube will herald a new era of multiperspective filmmaking, but it is interesting. I would love to see it employed in a documentary setting rather than in a fictional one, as it is here.(E.O.)
While navigating through vimeo, I stumbled across Matthew Brown's page and this burst of whimsy. Cats in various pursuits of their catnip provide the sole content in this two-minute short, set to the music from the "Amélie" soundtrack. Mr. Brown's disclaimer — that the piece is the result of experimenting with color schemes on his Canon HV30 — is evident in the piece. The images are richly saturated, and the work is packed with the kitchen sink of camera angles. But the editing is quirky, sly and smart. I was as mesmerized as the feline with her blue fuzzy prey, and I finished watching with the energy borne of a double espresso. (K.B.)

The International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC) has added five new members and one new observer.
The ICDPPC has been holding meetings for government privacy and data protection regulators for 39 years and has accumulated over 110 privacy regulators from over 70 countries. The ICDPPC passed a resolution announcing the accreditation of five more members from five countries at the Sept. 26-29, 2017 annual conference in Hong Kong.
The newly accredited members are: (i) Belgium's Supervisory Body for Police Information Management; (ii) Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission; (iii) Montenegro's Agency for Personal Data Protection and Free Access to Information; (iv) South Africa's Information Regulator; and (v) Turkey's Personal Data Protection Authority. South Korea submitted a late application, so the group just granted the country observer status.
Full members have voting rights on conference resolutions, while observers don't.
At the Hong Kong meeting, the group passed resolutions on connected car data protection, cooperation between data protection authorities and consumer protection authorities, and exploring options for future international enforcement cooperation.
There are multiple members from some countries such as Germany, Canada, Spain, and Mexico, where state data protection authorities have also joined. All new members this year are the first ICDPPC representatives for their countries.
The 40th annual ICDPPC will take place in Brussels next fall.

No 1717, Working Papers (Old Series) from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
Although the trajectory and path of future outcomes plays an important role in policy decisions, analyses of forecast accuracy typically focus on individual point forecasts. However, it is important to examine the path forecasts errors since they include the forecast dynamics. We use the link between path forecast evaluation methods and the joint predictive density to propose a test for differences in system path forecast accuracy. We also demonstrate how our test relates to and extends existing joint testing approaches. Simulations highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of path forecast accuracy tests in detecting a broad range of differences in forecast errors. We compare the Federal Reserve's Greenbook point and path forecasts against four DSGE model forecasts. The results show that differences in forecast-error dynamics can play an important role in the assessment of forecast accuracy.

That Was No Accident!
Whether you call them accident prone, unlucky or just clumsy, some people seem to have extremely bad luck. Psychiatrists say there are no unlucky people and the accident prone cause their own accidents. Perhaps, that's true but until recently there has been no concrete evidence to support this view. The tendency towards accident proneness, according to some research is a function of behavioral, mental, physical and personality factors, among others.
Accident prone is generally defined as a person that suffers a greater number of accidents than normal. The question is why? Researchers are trying to find out. A study done at the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands by psychiatrist Ellen Visser, analyzed 79 studies which examined how prone people are to having accidents.
In all, the studies looked at accidents suffered by 147,000 people, from 15 countries. The results were shocking. It appears 1 in 29 have a 50 per cent higher chance of having an accident than others. Visser said her work revealed personality traits that made some more accident prone.
Other research has suggested those employed in high risk jobs tended to have more accidents, as did children with coordination problems while studies at another university found people with low -levels of dependability and agreeableness were more likely to suffer accidents. High levels of openness were also linked with an increased risk.
Madeleine Portwood, a senior education psychologist and education adviser at the Dyspraxia Foundation for Children in the U.K., said children with more sedentary lives often experienced a higher incident of clumsiness problems. Portwood claimed out of 400 three year olds 57 per cent didn't have coordination skills comparable to more active kids their age. She also believes coordination difficulties in the general population had also increased tenfold in the last decade due to the same problems, but a structured movement program can significantly reduce these statistics.
Another team of researchers found 27 percent of the individuals they studied had more frequent accidents than usual. It was also discovered youth, job inexperience job dissatisfaction, inadequate safety training, sleep disorders, smoking, and lack of exercise were all contributing factors. Surprisingly, there was another factor, not having a personal hobby.
From these studies three key personality traits of people who are not accident prone have emerged:
· Openness: The tendency to learn from experience and to be open to suggestions.
· Dependability: Conscientious and socially responsible.
· Agreeableness: Not aggressive or self-centered.
We all know someone who seems prone to accidents and sometimes what befalls them can be humorous and amusing, as long as they're not seriously injured. However, there are some who have been plagued their entire lives by unfortunate mishaps. Take the case of Thomas Cook.
Cook's dilemma started before birth. He nearly died as his mother nearly miscarried. As a child he broke his collarbone, suffered brain hemorrhage due to a playground accident, had his spleen removed due to an injury playing touch football. After becoming a teenager he had a go cart accident and a near fatal car crash before attending university. After enrolling in classes he spent five months in a coma due to another car accident.
Cook eventually became employed as a computer programmer; one would think a fairly safe job. But Cook broke his back three times. Additionally he broke ribs in various car accidents and falls. Finally, what little good luck he may have had ran out. Cook died at 54 after being hit by a car.
Do you think you are accident prone? Take this test and find out at: http://www.queendom.com/tests/access_page/index.htm?idRegTest=2445
lol!! ;D
There's also the "ignore history" bunch, for instance people who think staying home when the roads are icy doesn't apply to THEM when they want to pop out for a candy bar during an ice storm and end up wrapped around a power pole. They truly believed they'd be driving in a protective bubble...
Nor can it be called an "accident" when the SUV shown in a video on the news a few days ago was hit by a small plane attempting an emergency landing in a field on the other side of the SUV. The plane was unable to pull up, but the SUV driver had time to slam on the brakes, or put the vehicle in reverse, or take other evasive action. But nooo... The SUV never slowed or tried to avoid the collision, which resulted in the plane's wheels tearing through the roof before it crash landed in the said field minus a wheel. I suspect the SUV driver was too engrossed in a cell phone conversation to notice a PLANE, albeit a small one, coming toward him (or her).
At my full time job in safety I would feel it's when people don't follow acceptable behaviours. If you think of antecedents leads to behaviour and that leads to consequences (ABCs of behavioural safety) you will find this covers most accident prone individuals.
The antecedent could be wanting to get done before the end of the day, being behind schedule etc this leads to unacceptable behaviour and that leads to undesired consequences.
The lack of a personal hobby was an interesting indicator and I wonder how it was arrived at.
Good work!
Cool hub. I found it very interesting. That poor Cook fellow! My goodness!
JY, you are hilarious! What a great hub! It's so funny and informs at the same time. Very interesting and extremely amusing. I give you...oops! I just feel over my desk... a two thumbs up! Write On!!!

Debuting the Activity Centers
There've been some scheduling snafus to contend with for the last six weeks, plus kids being late on finishing projects due to snow days followed by February break, so in a concession to the realities of the situation, the students in 5th grade who still hadn't finished their projects/left them at home were granted one final extension. Of course, this meant that my lesson plan to have the students present their biographic subjects fell slightly by the wayside (though a few students had finished before the break and left their projects in school).
What's a library teacher to do in such a situation? Luckily, that very morning, I had brought in the US map puzzle I picked up for $1.50 at my local Goodwill store (thanks to Mrs. Lodge for the inspiration!). I have also been accumulating magazines through the subscriptions to National Geographic Kids, Cricket, Ranger Rick, and Zoobooks that I picked up through LivingSocial for a song. I'd been planning on introducing library activity centers for awhile now, and this seemed as good a moment as any to do it.
Students were given three choices: they could pick a book and read quietly, as usual, they could pick a magazine and read quietly, or they could work on the puzzle. They LOVED it, particularly the puzzle. It was great to see some teamwork and cooperation in action as the students worked together to figure out how to get the pieces to fit, and as a bonus, their geography skills got some practice because this particular puzzle has the pieces slide up next to each other instead of "lock" in the usual fashion.
Other students decided to read. One got really excited reading about models made of chocolate in a NatGeo issue, another curled up in the corner with a copy of Cricket. Two others sat down with one of the "records" books we have (always a huge hit - they're so thirsty for non-fiction, I love it) and read aloud to each other.
This trial run makes me excited to experiment with introducing my other planned stations, and to continue to find new ways to engage students in productive learning in the library while working within my space restrictions.

Imphal: Legendary Indian woman footballer Oinam Bembem Devi has announced that she will bid goodbye to the game after the upcoming AIFF 21st senior woman's national tournament. 3
Reflecting on her magnificent journey, the 35-year-old midfielder said in Facebook post, "I have been lucky enough to have had a wonderful career representing my country for 20 years and the State team for 24 years. The upcoming AIFF 21st senior women national will be the last tournament I would play for the state team. It's been an incredible journey and I enjoyed every moment of playing."
The Manipur player, who had the distinction of playing in a foreign league, was signed by Maldives side New Radiant in 2014 where she emerged as the highest scorer, smashing six goals in three matches.
Bembem, who became the national team captain in 2003, led India to their first major title at the 2010 South Asian Games. She was also named as the AIFF Women's footballer of the year in 2001 and 2013.

A while ago I began a picture of a gum tree for my mum. It is a large picture (by my standards), and it has a slightly quilt/applique flavour to it.
Here it is so far:
I used an applique technique using interfacing and small areas of patchwork fabric to create the background, then stitched the details on top. I've mostly used stem stitch, chain stitch, back stitch and buttonhole stitch. As you can see I've finished the trunk and have done around half the leaves, I'm going to add some detail for a fence and grass down the bottom left.
But what do I do with it now? I started it a couple of years ago, and while I'm sort of happy with it my embroidery has come a long way since then and I no longer want to have it hung as an 'art' picture, but I'm not sure if it would translate well into a quilt.
I think it's going to need some more thought...

Reddit AMA, Knighthoods and a design update!
Hi backers,
First of all, a reminder that our AMA (ask me anything) will start at 11 PM CET, 5 PM EST and 2 PM PST tonight (which is NOW!). Watch our twitter, Facebook and KS frontpage for links to the Reddit around that time. Head to Reddit's IAmA subreddit, r/IAmA or CLICK HERE.
Also, today we did VO recording for Admiral Suvarov in London. The VO will be used for our next trailer(s) which shift focus from outside to inside your ship. Our devs on the scene had the following to say:
- Dev 1: "Brilliantly. Went through it all, recorded it all."
- Dev 2: "Yep, it went really well. Just got back. X is a consummate professional and we got all the material recorded pretty much bang on two hours."
As a lead-in we find it only natural to do a design update which talks about deck plans, modular internals, life on the ship and impact on boarding operations (lighting conditions, reassign crew). We will cover boarding operations in detail in a future design update.
Many of you have asked about Orders and Knighthoods. One of our first updates mentioned the Order of Nicholas which Anastasia created when she became Empress to honour the memory of her older brother prince-captain Nicholas, heir to The Mandate, who fell in battle. The first 3000 backers [we know who you are, both on KS and PayPal!] will receive this Knighthood. During the character prologue, you will be allowed to pick one Knighthood as part of your backstory. There will be several to select from, but early backers get a couple of extra choices as outlined below. These are mostly for cosmetic purposes, bragging rights, forum avatar etc. Male captain characters will become Knights and female characters will become Dames. Also note that a particular Order may have multiple ranks or degrees. Below is a sample text which shows the Order of Nicholas patents/papers, keep in mind that it is not 100% final and subject to change.
As mentioned in the same update, we may add additional Orders and Knighthoods and here is what we will do:
- The first 3000 backers will receive the Order of Nicholas [rank Knight/Dame]
- The first 9000 backers will receive the Order of The Mandate [rank Knight/Dame]
- The first 15000 backers will receive the Cross of Merit 1st class
- All backers will receive the medal for excellent performance during the General Mobilization of 3513 Your friends at Perihelion Interactive

Having checked another kickstarter recently which reached about 1mil despite having half the number of backers I came to the conclusion that we get too much for the small packages and too little for the really big ones. 1/3 of people has only pledged 20$ which does little to raise the overall pledge amount - yet gets them the full game.
Now it would be sad if overpricing everything is really the way to go, but it seems to be..

@ben: We know when you first pledged, so upgrading is not a problem. Keep in mind not all factions have been announced. Who knows, perhaps there is a faction out there that will appeal to you?

@Lars/Per - magnetic locks/mini tractor beams - crates and barrels could be secured by mag locks - or mini gravity wells/internal tractor beams...:)
Is there a way for us to remember when (at what #..) we backed? if we increase our pledge, will the original date be the backing date or the final date? - Hoping you all pick up the pace on backing - looking forward to the game.

@Lars: Its a good point, and we will see what we can do. Keep in mind that our goal was to fill the empty space so we could give you guys a quick preview image as soon as possible.

@Ryan: We write "the first xxx backers" and not "the first xxx backers who pledge minimum XYZ". So yes, all backers who pledge $10 or higher qualify for these Orders and Medals etc.
Ryan Hilterbrant on
Will these apply to every copy of the game we receive at our particular pledge level? Also, just to clarify, are these physical rewards?
Matt on
Damn, missed out on the Order of Nicholas, but at least I still get the Order of The Mandate. I'm guessing you're probably stripped of the title itself when you're imprisoned though, and reclaim your title as you progress if you're supporting the Mandate?
For people's reference, if you backed within the first 15 days you'll be in that 3000. About a third of the people who backed on the 16th day will qualify, according to Kicktraq at least.
Can't wait for those cross promotions. This should have been funded ages ago, hopefully they'll give the project the publicity and push it needs.
Tobi (Crusader Kickstarter pls!!) on
I love the attention to detail and how well thought out the little things are, like the genecode - awesome.
@Markus - it's probably the lack of physical rewards. (because of that i haven't pledged higher) but this was a deliberate decision (a good one in regards to costs of rewards fulfillment) - but i guess it's because of that (for example tex murphy had almost 600k with 7.000 backers).
Markus Rechberger on
honestly I cant understand how you guys arent way beyond the funding goal by now. This game is shaping to be all kinds of awesome.
I smell a conspiracy!
Rolan Storm on
Ну вы ребята даете. :)
Ahem... I mean you guys are great. :D I don't remember whether I am applicable for knighthood :) or not but idea is beautiful.

@Fernando: We have several trailers coming out over the next few weeks as well as some major cross promotions. For now tell your friends, post on forums etc but rest assured that we have a lot more to show ;)
Fernando Rey on
I really can't believe you guys haven't met your goal yet, I can't see how this game be more awesome at this point and we are still only half way through. Everything I read about it is great, the lore is beyond fantastic and the gameplay seems like what a truly player driven Mass Effect should be; not to mention that the art is top notch. The only question I have is where is the rest of the people with the money!? We should be talking stretch goals at this point, not worrying about if the project will make it or not. In any case what can we do to help, besides talking about the game with our friends?
Perihelion Interactive LLC Creator on
@Patrick: All backers who pledge at $10 or higher qualify for the Knighthoods, medals etc.
Patrick Daigle on
Does knighthood apply to every pledge level?
Perihelion Interactive LLC Creator on
@Dylyan: You backed within the first week of the campaign, you are def in the first 3000. If you upgrade your pledge you are still within the first 3000 (just avoid unpledging before you upgrade and everything should be fine) :)

While in Christian times everything with horns on is evil, the Krampus actually acts as a bringer of morale, even in a Christian sense. Krampus is a part of St. Nicolas host, something like the minion who takes the evil children to hell. Krampus was said to be a descendant of Loki, son of Hel, but also derives from the horned Gods of nature. One aspect is the holly king.
(Source: https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/1743556_234785993373145_1520561743_n.png?oh=671d55cc72782d00bd00ca3b777a65e3&oe=5AD1FC17)
The holly king is the "green man" of English folklore and shares a lot of similarities to Cernunnos, the horned god, Herne the hunter, Robin Goodfellow and others.
(image source: Wikipedia)
Back to the figure of Krampus. He is never depicted as outright evil, but as a kind of negative psychopomp and acting as a cautionary mythological figure. The Krampus is a wood sprite (said to live in the deepest woods) in some traditions, and stands for the violent forces of nature. In a different place on this blog I have already referred to my presumption or theory that the Norwegian "Trolls" might have something to do with the "skóggángr mannar", the wood-walking men, people who had been banished from society due to a sentence, denying them the privilege to be a part of human society any longer. With the Krampus, however, I found a striking example of a Mongolian shaman costume:
(image source: pinterest)
This costume shares a lot of similarities to the Krampus costume. These are: Horned mask, sound-producing implements, a "shaman´s whip" (in the case of Krampus the bundle of birch twigs serves the same purpose besides being used to punish nasty children), staff (often a Krampus also holds a staff with bells on), shaman´s sword:
(image source: pinterest)
bells and drum. The shaman in Mongolian society, while being called a holy man, often came to shamanism via a mental illness or any other character trait that distinguishes him from the norm. He is ab - normal in a purely descriptive sense. Often he is a person of higher intellect and education, but not necessarily so. In most cases he lives away from the community of other men. Robinson (1985) postulated a correlation between introversion and emotional intelligence, just to mention it along. In any way, the shaman is seen as someone sitting on the hedge between the worlds. Having had the privilege to converse and make closer acquaintance with a genuine Mongolian shaman several years ago I can say that this quite certainly distinguishes a genuine shaman from all those self-entitled morons running around selling their so-called dream-travels. That gentleman was extremely practical-minded and saw his spirituality in much the same way in which he put up to everyday tasks. He was actually quite down-to-earth, but also had the capacity of having "one foot in the spirit world", as he put it.
In Mongolian society, the shaman is living apart from human society, not because he is despised or in any way banished, but because he is dangerous in a sense, dangerous because of a power that elevates him from human society. He is not entirely human, but able to share characteristics with spirit and animal. He is the one who talks to the world of spirits. In Saami culture, there are stories of shamans you could only look at through an iron ring to be able to survive their gaze.
The Krampus is something that lurks in the darkness and stands for the dark half of the year. Like trolls and dwarves, like elves and dragons, like white women and death itself, he stands for the uncivilized, for the woods, for the counterworld of civilization. In Arthurian romance we find the hero venturing into the woods where adventures, monsters and fair maiden dwell, to test his fortitude and then return as initiated to the court. It is a rite of initiation.
Now our society puts a lot of emphasis on stating that we are the good ones. We are praying to the forces of light, we bring other cultures the "light of civilization", the enlightenment movement has convinced us finally that there are no gods and no god at all.
Let me put it this way: St. Nicholas and Krampus do not agree at all. ;-) What we have done to nature and our fellow human beings, and what we are doing even now as I write, is worthy of the worst of the bad guys. We do not need to fear any devil anymore; we were better to fear ourselves.
But there are good news-or bad, that depends on your perspective. The old myths currently somehow rewrite themselves. Somehow old Krampus jumped out of the box this year, being all the rage (pun intended). If you listen, he might have a message for you.
Become a creature of the wildwood. And walk the world of man to remind them that you´re dangerous, not because you mean harm to anyone, but because it is your very personality and character. Become dangerous not like a mass - murderer or lunatic is. But because you are one with a wolf, an owl, or winter. Be Yule, and Yule will reward you with the gift of light in the darkest hour.
And remember to fill your boots with leftovers from the feast for Krampus and put them outside! You never know... ;-)

Bright light, shine down on bloody impurity! Holy!
Happy Birthday, Saddam!April 28, 2004
Behold: Saddam gets birthday visit by Red Cross. Something tells me his 67th birthday was celebrated with much more restraint than, say, his 64th. Physical restraints, like handcuffs and a prison cell. Ho ho.
Also behold: Woman May Have Driven Around With Dead Mom. Like Weekend at Bernie's but slightly less hilarious.

23 Mar Septum Clickers from KarmaSe7en
Made famous by singer, fashion designer and actress Rihanna on the cover of Womans Mag (September '14 issue), Septum Clickers (commonly known as 'nose rings') have become all the rage not only among young women, but also among males.
Rihanna is wearing a Faux Septum Clicker, which simply clips on without the need to go through the pain of having a piecing. Far from being the 'bull-rings' people were once accused of wearing, these delightful clickers come in an array of beautiful designs.
Take the Multi-Gem Faux Septum Clicker, for instance. Measuring just 14 mm, this clever little piece of jewellery creates a classic piercing look by neatly framing the septum with a row of tiny gems. Simply clip it on whenever you want to make a fashion statement and 'whip' it off again whenever you want. This tidy little septum clicker is available from KarmaSe7en at just ££5.49. Prices for other designs range from £4.95 to £5.95.
Naturally, Karma Se7en also has an exciting range of Septum Clickers for Piercing. Prices here range between £4.95 and £7.99, and again, designs are invariably gorgeous.
£4.95 and £7.99
The pretty Solitaire Septum Clicker shown here, for example, is extremely pretty. Made from surgical steel, this clicker is set with Cubic Zirconium crystals. Working on a nifty hinge mechanism, it is exceptionally easy to wear and stays firmly in place. This 14 gauge (1.6 mm) clicker costs just £6.49.
There are also some great clickers for men. Also made from surgical steel and featuring the safe, comfortable hinge mechanism, these 1.6 mm gauge Barbed Wire Septum Clickers have some fantastic detailing. This unique piece of jewellery is available at just £4.95.
Both Faux Septum Clickers and Septum Clickers for Piercing are outstanding gifts for someone you love, may they be male or female. Gorgeous to look at and affordable, they are suitable for any occasion and will definitely be appreciated by the recipients.

SACRAMENTO — Bobby Jackson turned back the clock a few years Friday night for the Sacramento Kings.
Jackson scored 18 points and Kevin Martin had 20 as the Kings built an early lead and cruised to a 98-86 victory over the Clippers on Friday night.
A key contributor earlier this decade when the Kings were one of the NBA's premier teams, Jackson is nearing his 36th birthday and has mostly been used off the bench in his return to Sacramento.
But with starter Beno Udrih out with a sprained ankle against the Clippers, Jackson made his fourth start of the year and played a season-high 37 minutes. He made three three-pointers and also added four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one blocked shot.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of doing the makeup for an adorable blushing bride named Jessica. Her wedding was at a Ft. Lauderdale landmark, The Bahia Mar Hotel. Another destination wedding, I finally got to meet the bride and her mother the week before the wedding and knew immediately that they were going to be an easy going, happy family to work with. And was I right! I did the makeup for the bride, her lovely mother Sheryl, and her two matrons-of-honor
The photographer was Jeff Kolodny and the videographer was Jason Chandler of JC Video Production.
Jessica is not a big makeup person, but wanted her eyes to be the focus of her bridal makeup look. I started by playing up her newly enhanced tan, and added a few extra hours of sleep to her appearance with Bridal Veil Concealer in shade#3 by The Blushing Bride Cosmetics. On her eyes I used The Blushing Bride Cosmetics eyeshadows in "Ivory Lace", Wedding Bells" and "Tuxedo" mixed with "Black Tie" for a soft but defined look. A few individual false lashes finished off a look that made Jessica's eyes sparkle.
To keep the attention on her eyes, her cheeks were kept very natural, dusted with The BBC's blush in "Always A Bridesmaid" topped with a bit of glow from Floral Shimmer Bouquet in "Honeymoon Glow." To complete this blushing bride's look, "Touch" lipliner and "Bliss" lipgloss by The BBC to make her smile shine.

Fun With My Friend
It's always fun being with your friends, but these uber-cute twinks take their bromance one step further. Weather painting the house, hanging out in the garden or slouching around the house, testosterone is raging and cocks are straining to be freed so that they can slide down a willing throat and be squeezed tightly in a chocolate tunnel. Adorable asses crave insertion and these stud-pups are more than willing to open up for a pal. Watch them lick each other's from head to toe before their thirst for thrust gets the better of them and balls pound against butts as they slide deeply into a tight ass. Over 100 minutes of bare and raw action from twelve young flesh feeders!

Jim and Julie Welch wanted to 'get up every day and enjoy' what they are doing. I really received the message that individuals with vintage trailers simply love to talk about and present their trailers. It was a bit of frustrating not having the ability to perceive the tour, however the websites often converse for themselves. Once you travel along with your complete family, even when it is just 4 of you, a lodge room can feel claustrophobic. Close to essentially hugging it which makes you look ridiculous, I don't know how else to protect it so this travel money bag might be simply nice for these valuables. So there you will have it – my favourite greatest adventure novels and humorous travel books that provide me with hours of imaginative travel. I hope these eight travel tips for Snowbirds and other seniors escaping the cold, make it easier to put together effectively for a incredible journey.
Touring by prepare is a great way to travel – perhaps someday I am going to make the most of the other tours you mentioned. My wife and I used to have to travel usually, and these were issues we needed to do earlier than we left. Loved studying via various travel pillow, these are positively helpful throughout travel, you'd wish to rest throughout that long journey. You possibly can spend many pleased months in your travel trailer working at campgrounds across the nation. Atravel website is one of the best and most secure place to search out any journey related information. And with family unfold throughout the nation from Florida to Oregon, it was frustrating that my journey trailer could not journey removed from house without taking a sabbatical.

You can save money by building it yourself. The following tips will help you build a site like the professionals do.
Use fixed-position navigation so that users can navigate your site with ease. This involves locking down the site's navigation panel into position when the visitor scrolls up and down the webpage.
Speed is important in the Internet, you should ensure that your pages load really fast. If a site visitor ends up waiting for a long time for your web page to load, they will probably leave your site before it loads and vow never to return.
Learn any shortcuts that you can and make good use them. There are plenty of site design shortcuts you can make use of. You can even opt for editing the HTML first hand to make quick changes.
Consider a free software to design you website. Many people falsely believe that they need to purchase expensive software in order to create a good website, however, and keep your site running. You just need to do a little to locate the free tools that will work best for you.
Don't use too many fonts as you design your page. You definitely want to consider what the font is since some may be too small for concentrated website reading or smaller screens. Verdana is a good font commonly used because it's easy to read in an array of colors and sizes.
Remember to utilize ALT tags on any images you use in your website. These tags are very important for the handicapped segment of your website and people that disable graphics.If your images are used as links, the ALT text will also give you an easy way to describe how the link behaves.
Good meta tags are a quick way to ensure your website draw in larger numbers of visitors. Quality meta tags will provide search engines with information regarding your site. If you have poorly thought out the meta tags that have no reflection on what your sites content is, you are not going to attract many visitors to your site.
Make sure that your site loads quickly through optimization techniques. Visitors that get stuck waiting for pages to load will almost always leave the website.
Always use fonts that area crisp and professional. You can tell if a site looks professional by viewing their fonts. If a person doesn't have a font on their computer, another font is substituted.This can look a lot worse.
You don't have to fill all available space when you design a website. Leaving sufficient gaps between the different elements on your webpage could give your consumers a comfortable experience.There are many cases in which empty space makes a major impact.
Adobe Dreamweaver is a great for those that wish to create a website. This intuitive program is easy for even the least skilled amateur.
Research is an important when it comes to website design. Research your niche to grab that audience. Think about how you can design the site to reach your target market. This makes your efforts in website design is efficient.
You can get ideas from other websites, but try to use your own ideas when creating your site.
If you are using FileZilla for your file server, use your username, username and domain. This will save a ton of time.
Ensure that your web designs don't look similar to other websites that share your niche. You can investigate this out by look at the websites of competitors. Having a similar website will simply make you stand out in the rest. You will be just another generic version of any competitors that was up before you.
Technology speeds along at a dazzling clip, that it is important to keep up to day when creating a website. Websites are very important for any company and its products.Web design is also a lucrative field for those who bother to learn it.
Add tools that people can be used for social media website sharing. Your goal should be for people to find interesting content on your site to share it with their friends. By allowing your visitors the ability to share content from your website, you are giving yourself a marketing advantage that will offer unlimited growth opportunities.
If you are a new webmaster, think seriously about hosting it with grid or shared hosting, rather than VPS or dedicated hosting. You will do better knowing that traffic to justify paying for dedicated hosting at first and shared hosting will be increased by using other methods.
If your website is a commercial one, don't use a free hosting service. You don't want other ads to detract focus away from whatever your site is promoting. You will fare better using a paid service that doesn't use ads.
Put some human personality into your website. Find ways to include company logos, client testimonials, and media quotes. These touches go a long way to give some personality to your site.
It is crucial for people who design web pages to set attainable goals about how long tasks will take. If you try to meet deadlines which are impossibly strict, you will find yourself rushing through your work and having to deal with more issues later. It is preferable if you give yourself ample time to do your work carefully.
It takes a lot of hard work when you try to go from a beginner at web design to a more seasoned professional. You are bound to make some errors along the way. The thing to remember is that making use of the advice you have gained here, you can understand web design better and know more about building the right site for you.

Dear Old Spice, there is no need for a contest here. Isaiah Mustafa should be your permanent spokesman. If you want more information other than the previous two sentences know that Mustafa's opponent happens to be none other than Fabio. You can watch some of the back and forth videos between Mustafa and Fabio over on Mashable. It's all in the delivery. Night vision top hat!

|Relationship Manipulation
|Ability information
|Usage information
|Ability to
Manipulate the emotional ties of others
|Used by
Relationship manipulation is Chelsea and Elliot's manipulative power to influence the emotional bonds between individuals, partners and couples.
- "Chelsea can influence the emotional ties that people feel toward one another either by strengthening their bonds or breaking them apart."
- ―Entry on Chelsea's gift
Chelsea has influence over the emotional ties between people in the sense that she can both loosen and secure these ties. She can make partners turn away from one another, disband covens and friendships, but also can strengthen the bonds that bind one person to another.The effects of Chelsea's power are long-lasting and fade depending on how long a person has been exposed to it before separating from her. Someone could a bond (or lack thereof) to someone for decades or centuries before Chelsea's gift starts to wear off. Bella described Chelsea's power as a fluttering pressure against her shield when she unsuccessfully tried to bind some of the Cullen witnesses to the Volturi.
When the Volturi (specifically Aro) invite a vampire to join the guard, Chelsea makes the vampire feel bonded to the Volturi. This makes it extremely difficult to refuse any offer from them. Chelsea is also very important when the Volturi are in a fight, as she separates the allegiances between covens so that the Volturi can defeat them more easily. She also binds the relationships within the Volturi, allowing them to perform more effectively as a group. If Aro likes a specific vampire in the guard, Chelsea binds their ties to Aro, instead of all three of the Volturi leaders. Renata, Corin, Jane, and Alec are examples of this. Because of her gift, Chelsea is a permanent member of the guard and wears one of the darkest cloaks along with Jane and Alec.
Chelsea cannot as easily influence the emotional ties of people when those ties are stronger than just friends or acquaintances. For example, she could not have changed the way Edward and Bella felt about each other, and she also was not able to break Eleazar's bond with Carmen when he decided to leave the Volturi. Her power is also mental, as proven when she tries to bind Bella, Edward, Benjamin, Zafrina, and Kate to the Volturi during the conflict in Breaking Dawn, but is unsuccessful due to Bella's mental shield. Eleazar also suggested that abstaining from human blood allows vampires to form deeper bonds that Chelsea can't break, though this was never proven.Since Aro has kept Marcus, who could sense the emotional bonds of others instead of influencing them, it is possible that Chelsea's power only involves manipulating and not recognizing the bonds first hand.
It is not known if Chelsea could influence people while she was human, but according to Carlisle's theory that every vampire brings their most powerful trait over when they are changed, she may have been able to.
Elliot is able to create false feelings of love and admiration between people, effectively drawing them to each other.
Elliot has used the gift on a few members of the British Coven
Elliot can only create relationships between people, he can't manipulate these bonds further

text: I've been perusing ALL of the denim I can find for spring, and I keep coming back to these stone-washed, scallop-hem babies by Red Valentino. Yes they are on the pricey side. But my take is buy this ONE pair than two or three just OK pairs. The serged scallop hem is bohemian and kind of proper at the same time, and I'm also digging the embroidery at the pockets. But they only have three sizes left: 25, 26 and 28. Back off, the 28s are mine!
