Pratt Finishes Ground Testing First PW1000G
Pratt & Whitney announced today that it has finished initial ground testing on its first PurePower PW1000G series engine, the PW1524G Geared Turbofan for the Bombardier C Series. The engine completed nearly 200 hours of ground testing at the company's West Palm Beach, Fla. facility.
"The engine continues to exceed our expectations," said Bob Saia, vice president of Pratt & Whitney's next-generation product family. "We have already completed an unprecedented amount of testing on this first engine, including a full structural evaluation, performance, noise and emissions testing. Testing has validated overall engine operational characteristics including component design, rotor dynamics and engine fuel and lubrication systems. This testing confirmed the benefits and robustness of the Geared Turbofan engine that Pratt & Whitney initially established during the 2008 Demonstration Engine Program."

Thrifty, Practical & Chic: Veronica's Painted Persian Rug
Kilims, dhurries, and Persian rugs abound in home decor these days, and in particular, they've invaded the kitchen. Veronica, from the blog My Hands Made It, loved this look but didn't love the price tag or the anxiety that accompanies having a nice rug in a messy kitchen. So she took matters into her own hands.
With an old seagrass rug, paint, and some patience, Veronica created her own version of a Persian rug. The look is chic, and the results are arguably more practical for the space. And what's more, given that slightly worn Persian rugs are some of the most desirable, there's a chance that the painted version will look even more authentic if the paint wears over time.
For a full tutorial on how she did it, visit My Hands Made it.

Whoa. Very cool. I wonder how the paint will hold up, though. Acrylic I imagine would flake pretty quickly.
Slightly OT but maybe you guys can help. Is there a good source online for vintage suzanis? The Uzbek-based companies kinda make me worry because both shipping and returns won't be feasible or easy, and of course any kind of retailer (like Jayson Home and Garden) will mark up the suzani by 100x. Thanks!
I LOVE the idea of handpainting an inexpensive rug to make it more chic and luxurious. Persian's not my style, but I'm definitely tucking this idea away for when I move soon.
@ARCHDARLING, try here (£25 for a vintage cushion cover) Bazaar House. They're based in the UK.
Saraih, wow, many thanks! I appreciate it.
ARCHDARLING, try our friends at Matt Camron Rugs in Houston, Tx at www.mattcamron.com
ArchDarling, I actually have 5 amazing suzanis for sale! I was going to use them with a client, but we went in a different direction. You can see 'em here:
$200 each and I'll ship them to you however you'd like :)
A girlfriend of mine used to work for an interior designer...all she did ALL DAY LONG was paint rugs like this. She was a really talented artist and some of them were amazing, as far as I can remember she did use acrylic paints.
@ARCHDARLING, this may be a stupid question but have you checked ebay?
I've found loads of vintage textiles there.
Wow! Thanks for the responses, everybody! I'm off to check out your links...
Madame Suggia, not a stupid question at all... I know you can find everything on ebay! I kinda hate ebay since the big redesign, so I barely bother trying to browse anymore. I know, I know.
what an amazing idea...i love it!! i'm so sharing this with people to show how some people are so super talented...you're a genius...good luck!
It's adorable!!! Super cute, reminds me of the cool old rugs from Old New House or an antique rug from Peter Pap

UFC 137 fight videos of Nick Diaz vs. BJ Penn main event bout. This video include the post fight in cage interviews.
I knew thats what was gonna happen didnt think he would retire BJ thats pretty bad ass.
If only BJ Penn could've got his hooks in he might've been able to finish that fight via guillotine really early. I thought he also could've gone for more takedowns instead of getting beat up against the fence, but I guess it's easier said than done when Nick Diaz is unloading on you.
Retired by Diaz, nice way to go out
You would never see gsp aka sleeping pill aka lay and pray fight how nick diaz did tonight. Nick diaz soon to be the welterweight champion sorry haters no more excuses he destroyed a top ten opponent and from the ufc.
Nick did what he does best, punches in bunches with good timing. Great fight from both of these guys. Big fan of both, was rooting for Penn though.
Bj didnt look too great in this fight and diaz looked like he usually does. Kinda sad that most of Diaz's past opponents dropped him and Bj couldn't. Sad day to see one of my top 5 all time favorites retire, but I don't think his heart is into it anymore and no one can compete at a high level without that.
man that sux that bj retired
Penn was doing very good but then he started backing up:(
bj NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
I think you meant RNC, but either way Diaz wasn't getting subbed. BJ's only chance was to take it to the ground and stay on top for 3 rounds. Those are two fighters who do NOT get ko'd or subbed, I couldn't see it any way except decision. Awesome fight.
great fight. lets hope lay n pray wants to stand up with nick. cuz i wanna see a FIGHT!!!
Very good fight for Diaz. It was definitely what i expected it to be. Diaz battered Penn and it eventually came down to who was in better shape. By the second round Penn was sucking air. Diaz should definitely have the next title shot with the winner of GSP/Condit.
oops, i mean;t BJ won the first. f****** time to go sleep (5:47 am)
Come on Pope! Didnt look good? We havent seen Penn that agressive or conditioned in a long time. If he would've been that aggressive that early in his last few fights he might've won a few. And to bang it out for 3 straight rounds bell to bell with Diaz is extremely impressive especially he had some nice flurries in the middle of that 3rd. Lots of heart tonight from BJ he'll be back.
i'm a GSP fan, but i wouldn't mind seeing Condit win the title. anyone else think that?
BJ must have the worst cardio in MMA… He was dominating first round! And he also has NO head movement. If he would move his head around a little he wouldn't be such a clear target when pinned against the fence… Still great fighter and super sad to see him retire. But he's done all he can do in the sport.
Great fight, Penn ran out of gas a little. Other than that Penn had good boxing in the middle of the ring, Nick was just stronger when it came to getting position. I really think Diaz has a chance at not just beating but dominating GSP
If BJ wasn't going to get up for his fights anymore he should have retired earlier.
HOLY s***!
+1 4 cardio
GSP had a harder time with Penn. Diaz dominated
he went to draw to fitch… i wonder what nick diaz would do to fitch destroy him.
Wow. Awesome fight. I am pissed off it did not go 5 rounds like they initially said, would have been epic, damn. Diaz took the upset and props to the Stockton man, way to go to fellow northern Californian.
Diaz looked great. I love watching him fight. For those already giving him the title off this perforamnce. Let's remember one thing, GSP will not stand and trade and if Diaz fights his typical style he will be on his back the WHOLE night.. He has not EVER done well against wrestlers… That's the truth. (Still love him, but face it he has to catch GSP early) Both guys knew the other would trade. It is easy to stand and trade when you know you are not going to get taken down.. One important point as well, BJ won the first round. It sounds silly, but when he had gas his punches were crisp and landing, then he gassed and got tapped up. Condit or GSP will not gas.. Remember how Alves was going to butcher GSP standing… He didn't fight for about 10 months after that fight… Koschek out for a year! I want to see the fight too, but Nick stylistically has a better shot against condit..
diaz is one hell of a fighter
yeah… Diaz. Keep dreamin. GSP ain't scared of you. You are everything that's wrong with mma. GSP will put him on his back and feed him some French Cock
that was a damn go0d fight…both of them were just f***** awesome
BJ did not look like before. He looked already tired and worn out. I think he was thinking retirement way before the fight. I'd be smart too and retire to be a family man.
its going to be good to see nick fight all the ufc wrestlers for 5 rounds from now on. now we can see him finish these guys
I must say as talented as BJ is, i was never truly a fan…somethin about his attitude. And tonight just proved it. the guy is just spoiled. He's been a beast his whole carreer. goes out and tries to utterly destroy his opponents. then he finally gets some of his own medicine and he quits the sport…? Nonetheless props to diaz He's on point as usual. and he will NOT destroy george…george will lay on him for 5 rounds and win…again
I said that BJ would have a 2:1 win ratio. Then he retired.
I suddenly wanna see Diaz move up to 85 and see Chael hand him a beating. Their whole crew are just a bunch of thugs encouraging him to call out GSP like this is some gang affiliated rival. Suck it Nick.
BJ should retire from 170! Ain't got no business there. Would love to see him at 55. Not a GSP fan, but Diaz will get killed!
Damn BJ's cardio! Don't know why he runs out of gas so fast….is it because he's getting older and it's just harder to get that cardio in a supreme level? He did good that first round but even though Nick is a douche, good opponent to pass the torch too. Gonna miss you BJ!
Damn! Nick made BJ Penn retire, can't blame BJ after all he was a punching bag on the 2nd and 3rd round.
penn could of had it if he threw more punches and had cardio lol but diaz just wrecks people plain and simple.
also it shows how good/tough kj noons is for going 5 rounds with diaz even with that fked up hair hahah dumbass
It was like watching a 20 year old pick on his chubby little 12 year old brother, a 6 inch reach advantage for the marathon man who was a head taller and Pudgy Penn was fighting above his natural weight class
Respect to Nick Diaz..respect to BJ for heart.
Props to Diaz.but dont really think that BJ is done.he didnt seem into this fight.he needs to stay @ his original weight class.putin on all that weight cant be good for cardio.sick fight.im now a fan of Diaz
If this was a five rounder, Nick would have KO'd BJ Benn. GSP is going to lay and pray, lay and pray, lay and pray… That is hot piece of a** with GSP, by the way. Probably his sister.
Not to toot my own horn, but damn, called it. At least it wasn't a walk. =/

"I'd like to see B.J. put up a serious fight or even a win, but Diaz will walk through B.J. and retire him."
I d'ont get people hating on B.J.
That was the best B.J. I have ever seen. He was able to trade with Diaz for the majority of the fight (on the losing end). I knew Diaz had the most effective striking in the division, but B.J. still impressed me.
Luckily for B.J. it was a 3 round fight.
Diaz is the same guy who knocked out Daley in the first round..
It will start looking real bad to let GSP fight Condit. If Nick is ready, let it happen
@julianmoran thank you. i don't know why people are saying he had bad cardio. He slugged it out for 3 rounds. Go back to his last 4 fights if you wanna see BJ with bad cardio cause it would've been over in the 2nd if he came in the same as he did in those fights.
Im a gsp fan too but i know that diaz will take the belt when they fight. great defense by diaz on the ground in the first round not letting bj get both hooks in.
The only reason BJ didn't look like BJ is because he was fighting Nick Diaz.
Many of you seem 'miffed' as to how this could have happened. If BJ had only done this or that…. It all becomes crystal clear once you admit the obvious. Nick Diaz is a bad ass!
just watched the presser and Nick DOES get the fight next. He still pissed all over Dana though…AWESOME lol
Seriously mmalove, if Penn were even considering retirement, don't you think he would have saved himself the asswhooping of a lifetime and just done it beforehand? Everything he holds sacred was beaten out of him. He doesn't really feel that way and will change his tune in time. It will end up more like, "Well as long as I don't have to fight Nick Diaz im game."
It actually says a lot about who BJ is that he stood up and took it.
As a big Diaz fan I'm not surprised he owned the standup. I am shocked that BJ gave up so easily on the idea of taking Nick down. This was supposed to happen at BJ's will.
BJ out of shape? Really? You should try boxing(even shadow boxing) for 15 minutes. Not to mention all the body shots he absorbed!! BJ looked in great shape compared to the other outings at 170 sporting the muffin top. He looked slim. Plus, i havent seen many people take that many Diaz shots and stay standing. Bj has a hell of a chin.
LoL. "I won that s***!"
Diaz is tireless and that's what wins fights like this. Cardio, cardio, cardio. The guy is a beast.
Fight of the year for me. Non stop exchanges. BJ, one of my all time favourites, he did get wupped, however he did throw some good punches of his own and was always a threat if he connected.
Now i know this isn't a forum or anything, but i would love to see some polls up here Bruno for 'fight of the year', 'fighter of the year'. 'best newcomer'. I would be interested to hear what the people who post in the comments thought.
Nick Diaz is over-rated. His striking comes in bunches but they are so slow that it's easy to counter. BJ was countering perfectly in the 1st. Ran out of gas in the 2nd and couldn't maintain his counter punches in the 3rd but if you watch the fight closely whenever BJ countered perfectly many times throughout the fight and when he did counter all Diaz did was miss or cover his face with both his hands like a guy who can't take a punch.
Pretty much like most expected. A great fight, BJ would win the first round, and if he couldn't end it in the first, Diaz was going to win the fight.
It only reinforced my view that Condit is a more dangerous fighter against GSP. Diaz could even beat Condit, which would probably be one of the bedt fights of all times, but Diaz just doesn't have any surprises for GSP. GSP will simply stat out of reach, throw some jumping jabs, take Diaz down, hold him dow for 30 seconds, get up and repeat.
GSP will have more problems trying to take Condit down (knees), and keeping him down (elbows from the bottom). Condit will try to bleed GSP out while Diaz will try to outbox and submit GSP.
Diaz hate continues but he just keeps proving people wrong.if GSP tries to make it a ground game he will find out that Diaz is as dangerous on the ground as he is on his feet
That's the thing Tom. Most of us Nick Diaz fans realize that BJ Penn is a really really good fighter. Nick is just better.
Conversely, I read all sorts of excuses from fans when their fighter fails to perform. Rarely do I ever see credit given to Diaz.
If BJ Penn were fighting any other guy, he had a very good shot at winning. He's not old. He's not out of shape. He just got his ass beat.
Good for you, you were pissed about something that was never announced.Please tell me where you read that this fight was supposed to be 5 rounds.There's so many people saying that and nobody ever announced that fight to be 5 rounds.
nick rules
I hate Diaz's personality, but I will always pay to see him fight. He's definitly one of the more exciting fighters to watch. Unfortunately, I see GSP laying on him for 5 rounds. I'm hoping I'm wrong though. GSP, on the other hand, is an example of someone whose personality I love, but hate watching him fight.
And to anyone who said Nick is a better Boxer and Nick is a better grappler you got your proof that he isn't.BJ is light years better then Nick in boxing.He just doesn't have any cardio.And BJ is a world champ in BJJ.Nick is great but not world champion caliber.Like Hughes said the winner would be the guy with the better cardio and it obviously was Nick.If BJ had a more cardio training(wich seems to be the thing he hates the most when he trains)he would've taken out Fitch and Diaz.Because when they were fresh,BJ was the better boxer,wrestler and grappler.Even if BJ tries to say he trains alot in cardio he knows and we all know he doesn't train half as hard as every other top fighters in the world.He got so good in such a short time that when he had to train something that takes a long time(strenght and conditioning)he just didn't seemed to have the drive to do it.BJ is the most talented fighter ever but his talent made him not train as much as he should and he realised that no matter how great you are,if you don' thave good cardio you will lose against lesser fighters(Diaz,Fitch).
My vote for fight of the year. Here you have Nick pissed off that he didn't get the gsp fight and fighting a awesome fighter in bj penn. Three round slug-fest went to Nick because he is a natural boxer. He broke down everybody the same way. Watch the fight again and you'll see that BJ just couldn't match Nick, and his punches just weren't phasing Nick. That will make you lose faith alone.
GSP won't have a chance if he can't lay and hump on Nick for 5 rounds…nope…He will quit on his stool…GSP won't take a 5 round beating, and BJ Penn wouldn't have been able to either. It's gonna get ugly. I'm no fan of Nick Diaz, but he's very clever when it comes to winning…He beat BJ with boxing.
Diaz is a mental retard, he has good cardio but no explosive power, triathlons do NOT improve your anerobic conditioning.
GSP is explosive and athletic, he will run right through the pitter patter thug from a Nor Cal trailer park.
Penn lost that fight because of the size difference and Penn's poor game plan (backing up against the fense, not moving, allowing so many body shots etc) not because Nick is so amazing.
@Randy Couture You said Diaz is everything that's wrong with MMA? What kind of lady are you? You hate Diaz because he calls people out. You think he's low class but how many of you GSP lovers remember him disrespecting Matt Hughes after a title defense? He came in the ring and said that he didn't respect Matt's victory. It was a total douche move. GSP is no saint. He's just as cocky and obnoxious as a lot of them. He cleaned up his attitude so he could get more promotional money for selling garbage clothes and supplements. Diaz doesn't care about being a corporate puppet. He just wants to fight and be the best. How can you not respect that?
riiiiiight…this is like saying if BJ was a better fighter, he'd be a better fighter. Cardio is a tool-just like boxing or jitsu and besides, BJ didn't gas so much as he kept getting peppered with slap after slap after slap. His will to punch got gassed at times but he wasn't gassed.
ALL you lames taking s*** on older post about diaz now you prob feel like some flakes
agreed with KungFu….BJ outboxed Nick in the first round, and who thinks differently should watch that round again. Nick won because of better cardio, but he has no chance against GPS. Other than pincher's chance, of course.
I can't even watch this s***.
…stamina. Simple as that.
Saying the only reason Nick won is cardio is retarded. Watch more than a few of Nick's fights. BJ didn't gas, he got punched in the gut and the liver over and over. No matter how good your cardio is you are going to get worn out and struggle to breath. Any of you armchair MMA experts ever been hit in the ribs 20 times in a matter of minutes? Guess what, it gets harder to breath and throw punches. BJ comes from a wealthy family. Nick from a poor one. It disgusts me that some of you keep slamming Nick because of his background. I'd rather cheer for a poor kid with the heart of a lion, than a spoiled, cocky brat.
I was asking why it wants me to subscribe to a premium account to watch the videos.

"Diaz hate continues but he just keeps proving people wrong."
Uhhhhhhh can you explain to me how Diaz beating a fighter who stepped up to a weight class he doesn't belong in, with a huge reach disadvantage, huge cardio disadvantage, and boxing disadvantage = "Proving people wrong" LOL? And BTW Condit, GSP, Fitch, Anthony Johnson = Diaz getting his ass handed to him in the UFC.
Bottom line is Nick Diaz didnt change a thing in his game plan for any other fighter hes faught and he dominated BJ Penn plain and simple…Threw a ridiculous amount of body shots, mixed it up really well, pressed Penn up against the cage. Thats gonna tire anyone out he has effective game plans and tools that compliment it and BJ penn couldnt answer.
perhaps i am an armchair expert, but i haven't seen much of those body punches in the first round….i guess it's easier to hit the target that doesn't move….as far as hating on Nick, i don't hate on anyone, rich or poor….heck, i don't even care if Nick can or can't put together a meaningful sentence, cause it's really not in his job description…
"Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night!" f****** EPIC
Doesn't matter how incredible you think Diaz is, or how boring you think GSP is.
It's MMA, and Wrestling will be the decider in the Diaz/GSP fight. George will make Diaz look like every other opponent, out of his element, lost, and unable to find an answer to St.Pierre's Wrestling.
Diaz is a beast.
@ Fedorfails. How can you say BJ stepped up to weight class he doesn't belong in? He's the former champion of that weight class! Did you just start watching MMA yesterday? LOL
@ zagor. I take it you didn't watch rounds 2 and 3? Who cares if BJ fared better in the first round? He didn't hurt Nick at all. And he didn't stand a chance against Nick's BJJ. Nick was never in trouble. BJ was ineffective in all 3 rounds. Nick deserves credit for beating a great fighter, but you arrogant pricks would rather make comments about his intelligence or upbringing.
did any1 see BJ's emotional walk towards the cage?
BJ is the man. I always thought he looked phenomenal at 155 though. 170 is too much for him. Please come back to 155 please!
I love it how so many homos call Diaz a douche and then bring Sonnens name in like hes a good guy.. LMAO…Sonnen is a bigger douche cos at least Diaz backs his attitude when he fights….Sonnen is a homo one trick pony, disrespectful piece of trash who uses a better vocabulary…WOW
I think GSP will beat Nick Diaz! I know lots of Nick diaz nut hungers popped up now because he had a dominating performance against BJ but GSP is much much better than BJ, anything could happen in a fight! but I think GSP sill has more chance beating Diaz than the other way around!
I find the comment by Diaz fellow trainers "call out that m***********" disrespectful and I want diaz to lose badly now! Diaz is very good fighter but with no brain!
lets face it, theres a new wave of young and hungry fighters in the game today, the diaz brothers being a couple of them, first matt hughes, now bj penn, just got gsp left , who by the way had one of the most boring fights his last fight…wont be surprised if diaz makes gsp retire as well.
I guess you must too young to know whay GSP said that during the fight. It was in retaliation to Matt's comments after GSP vs KOS (first fight).
MATT said "Georges St-Pierre's recent title defense over Josh Koschek was boring and that the welterweight champ is playing it safe because he's overpaid"
if you want to pretend to quote history atleast do it right. GSP's exact comment was "I am Not Impressed with your Performance" its called selling a fight.
You seriously think there is nothing mentally wrong with Diaz?
another removed video, bruno, where is this fight vid??
Bruno: Works for me.
well i tried it earlier today and it was removed. then tried again and ill i got was post fight. oh well saw it now. good s***
lol @ the butthurts on this thread crying about BJs loss. If crying werent enough, you make up fantasy stories. Diaz by no means got beat in the boxing in rd 1. More strikes landed by a mile and that includes the ones bj got em with on the ground.q want a tissue?
BJ Penn retire with no false ego in him full of class, short and simple, now that's a true champion. really nice fight for Nick Diaz,you can see BJ's body just giving up on him that's probably why he didn't attempt more take downs(BJ was never known as a strong wrestler anyway).
i hope BJ become a successful MMA/BJJ trainer some day.

Like most horror, fantasy, and science fiction, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" requests it's audience place a hefty ante. You guys, anthropomorphic, equestrian apes: you in or out?
Did you see the 2011 Israeli film "Rabies"? Me either but some guys I know did and they liked it so that's pretty much an Oscar win in my book. Well the film's creators, Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado, has set "Big Bad Wolves" as their next project with a 2013 release in mind. The film follows three men who are linked by a series of terrible murders. Kind of like a fun club or something. But without the fun. And no one wants to be in the club.
"The Last Exorcism Part II" may or may not turn out to be hot dookie but that doesn't mean that the folks behind the film can't come up with some pretty entertaining ways to promote the flick. Case in point, a pretty dandy prank they played on a number of beauty shop goers. Is it funny? Yes it is. Is there a chance any of these people will come back to the shop? No. No there isn't.
I think Hot Topic ruined "The Crow" for all of us so I don't think anyone is really excited about the remake that's been kicking around for some time now. But what if I were to tell you that James McAvoy is being tossed around as a possible lead for the film? Would that change your mind? He was good in "Wanted" right? No, you're right. This still sounds awful.
Kodi Smit-Mcphee, the annoying kid from "The Road" is going to be in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". He may or may not play a monkey. Alright fine, he won't.
Remember residents of Florida. When you're fixin to make up a mess of waffles make sure you take your bullets out of the oven before you pre-heat it. Otherwise you're doggum foot gunna get shot off.
A PA woman is under arrest after she apparently attacked her boyfriend with a Playstation controller and a Furby. I had no idea they still made Furby's but then again what do I know. I'm not sitting in Pennsylvania arguing over who gets to make out with the cow first or whatever else they talk about there.
I could have sworn this happened about a week after "Rise Of the Planet Of the Apes" was released but the folks over at Fox have officially announced a sequel. They also went on to announce that this Summer's Olympics will be held in London and that I will be spending the 4th of July passed out drunk next to a kiddie pool while my daughter cries.
Walking dead writer Scott Gimple has been thrust into the script writing roll for a new Sci-Fi flick titled "Prosthesis" by the folks over at Universal. There's not much in the way of details yet on this one so let me take this time to comment on how pissed I am that Universal Orlando closed the "Jaws" attraction. Sure it was kind of outdated but still... freakin Jaws.
2011's little horror movie that could "Grave Encounters" has gotten quite the following in the hor-nerd cirlces so everyone get out your tallywacker because "Grave Encounters 2" is on its way. The plot of this one will focus on a group of students who break into the hospital from the first film only to find that the footage they saw was all too real. It's a movie inside a movie. Like a turducken but with less meat.
Chloe Sevigny, the fun gal from "Big Love" and all those creepy movies that came from the guy who did "Kids" has been confirmed for the cast of "American Horror Story" season 2. She'll be playing Shelly the Nymphomaniac. I'll be playing the guy who's desperately trying not to remember that scene from "The Brown Bunny" where she goes down on Vincent Gallo. It's so graphic.
This guy in Tennessee has got it all figured out and we could learn a thing or twofrom him. The lesson he's taught us is if you're stumbling around the interstate and a cop pulls up you 100% have to ask the officer if he's Jesus before stealing his car. You don't want to steal a cop car and then find out later it was actually Jesus. That's bad karma.
Apparently 28 years into your life you can go back and sue the hospital you were born at for circumcising you. Good to know.
Prepare to add the phrase "Brian Cox's Monkey Jail" to your vocabulary...
If you liked "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" then get ready because it looks like the writers have a trilogy in mind. Or have always had in mind. How quickly they decided this after the film made a boat load of money no one knows but let's pretend it was always the plan. That makes it nicer.
It looks like the long awaited sequel to "The Wicker Man", the original not the Nic Cage masterpiece, titled "The Wicker Tree" will hit theaters in early 1012 thanks for the good people at Anchor Bay. The sequel tells the story of two newcomers who come to Scotland only to run into a strange group of religious fanatics. I hope they wear weird animal head dresses again.
Showtime is pushing the "Dexter" promos so much you'd almost think season 6 isn't still a month and a half away. But anyway there's a new poster for your peepers to view and it's crafty because it's got Dexter with a bunch of blood behind him. But wait, the blood looks like wings. You just mind f'ed me lonely designer who spent hours on this and 74 other posters only to have some jackass on a horror website mock it. I'm so sorry.
Good news America. It looks like Tom Six will be setting "The Human Centipede 3" in the good old U.S. of A. Wait, it gets better. According to Six the third installment will make the second look like a "Disney film". I love Disney films so I can't wait for the second, which will see a limited release in the states on October 7th. Disney films and America? I believe you have warmed your way into my heart Mr. Six.
I'm not sure what kind of standards Olympic skiers have to live up to in the US but I'm pretty sure urinating on an 11 year old on a flight is not considered appropriate. Unfortunately that's just what an 18 year old team member did on a red eye flight to NY the other day. But hey the swimmer guy smoked a lot of pot. That's worse, right?
If you've ever driven through Pennsylvania than you know those back woods hicks drive like mental patients. To drive home the point here's a lovely story about an Aunt who didn't think she could handle getting out of a tight parking spot. Her solution to the problem? Having her six year old niece give it a go. Sure, why not.
"Watchmen" writer Alex Tse has been picked up by the fellas at Relativity Media to pen the long delayed remake of "The Crow". For those of you who weren't fortunate enough to be a part of the madness that was the original 1994 flick, it starred Brandon Lee as a man who comes back from the dead to avenge his and his fiancee's murder. Brandon Lee also died on the set... and the movie sucked... and it pretty much created Hot Topics. Can't wait.
John Lithgow and a bunch of apes. I've had dreams that start like this. But that's neither here nor there my friends because a new international trailer for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has hit the tubes and it's full of hot monkey on monkey action. The film focuses on apes that will eventually take over the planet in the distant future. I should apologize to those of you who may have been under the impression there was monkey porn in the trailer based on my comments. Sickos.
For those of you out there who were actually excited about David R. Ellis' "Shark night 3D" I've got some bad news for the 7 of you. The shark attack camp out flick has been slapped with a PG-13 by the folks at the MPAA. Just so we're clear PG-13 means no nudity, minimal swearing and most importantly absolutely no fun whatsoever. Boo this man!
Looks like the Miami Metro Police is getting itself an intern in the form of Josh Cooke. Cookie (new nickname I've just decided to give him) will join the cast of "Dexter" for season 6 which is currently ramping up for production. Sir Cooks A Lot will play a new addition to the team and apparently become buddy buddy with creepy bald Asian, Masuka. I smell romance!
Colorado police are on the hunt for a man who has apparently been hiding inside the tank of a large portable toilet at an outside yoga festival. There's really nothing funny or sarcastic that could make this any weirder so let's just agree to never speak of it again. Moving along now.
If I was going to list the most frightening ways to die I'm pretty sure having a 300 pound man attack me with a battle ax would probably make the top 10. And here's a story about a man who was murdered in just such a way. Poor SOB.
Despite only being two months from its release and having a fairly decent cast I've heard jack and squat about "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on the "normie" channels. I'd know too, I'm a sucker for Access Hollywood. But a new trailer has hit the tubes and it's got some promise to it. It's also got John Lithgow in it. Feel free to insert your own "John Lithgow's ass" joke here.
Holy mother of god that was quick. "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night", which was in 4 theaters for about 3 days I think, will hit DVD and Blu-Ray on July 26th. That's just about 3 months after it's release date back in April for those of you keeping track at home. Special bonus on the limited edition deluxe blu-ray, in depth interviews with the 7 people who saw the film in the theaters and 1/3 of the cast will actually come to your home and do the commentary track live.
While the world waits for a new "Alien" movie the good nerds of the video game industry have plans on release a first person shooter titled "Aliens: Colonial Marines" in the Spring of 2012. Of course the game based on the much loved movie franchise has been in development since since back in 06 so I guess my point is moot. That and I just used the word "moot" for the first time.
And since I refuse to write about and update from the set of "Wrong Turn 4" here's some more video game news. "Jaws: Ultimate Predator" will hit the Wii and 3DS sometime in the not too distant future. The game will be set 35 years after the events of the original film and allow players to take control of the mega-shark with tons of bloody chomping action to be had. Of course Majesco, the company putting it out also put out a 2006 "Jaws" game which was kind of like playing a game where a mentally challenged fish dry humped a fishing boat, but it could still be cool. Maybe.
It's not clear yet why a 21 year girl in Ohio decided to unleash pepper spray on 3 children at a local playground but if I was a betting man I'd say they were trying to sell her something. Like those stupid kids selling 3$ bags of peanut M&M's to get new uniforms for their basketball team. Where do you practice you little prick!? Answer me that and I'll buy your damn Skittles! That's right you don't know, boom, you just got pepper sprayed.
A 35 year old Florida man is under arrest after he hit a city worker with his truck because he thought the guy looked like a terrorist. Wrong? Yes, but you've got to appreciate the guy's love for this fine nation we live in. Slap on the wrist maybe? No? Attempted murder charges you say? Alright let's call it a deal.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

In the late 18th century one ferry operated in the bottoms between the town of Cahokia and Ste. Genevieve, which was located south of St. Louis. The swamp opposite St. Louis precluded direct service from St. Louis since there was no suitable road that could stand up to loaded wagons. Piggott, seeing the advantage of direct ferry service from the east bank to St. Louis, set about building an all-weather road in 1792 from Cahokia to a point on Cahokia Creek opposite St. Louis. Piggott and his eldest sons constructed the road with rocks buttressed with logs. They worked in the winter when the threat of Indian attack was less likely. When the creek froze over, they constructed a 150-foot wooden bridge and extended the road to the waterfront. By 1795, the Piggotts had erected two log cabins near the river (Reavis 1876:51-52). All they needed now was a permit and they would be ready for business.
On August 15, 1795, Piggott formally applied to Zenon Trudeau, the commandant of St. Louis, for permission to operate a ferry between Illinois and St. Louis. Piggott noted that he had no desire to infringe on the Cahokia/ Ste. Genevieve ferry, but would like a monopoly from his settlement to St. Louis until he had recovered the personal expenses incurred during construction. Piggott added that he would be able to provide agricultural goods and lumber for Trudeau at the lowest cost, and people crossing the river in their own craft would be welcome to use his landing and road (Reavis 1876:52).
Trudeau granted the request under the condition that Piggott become a citizen of St. Louis under the French version of his name Piquette. Piggott's request was approved by the St. Clair County Court at Cahokia (Reavis 1876:52). The latter approval was easy enough considering the influence Piggott probably carried as an appointed judge. One would assume that approval from St. Clair County was merely a formality since it seems doubtful that Piggott would have invested three years of his time and money in a project if he had not had fairly good assurance that it would be approved. Also, Piggott may have been one of the presiding judges who granted approval since it was quite common for judges to 'sit in on cases involving their own interests during the territorial period.
The implications of this contract between Piggott and Trudeau, coming at a time of covert Spanish aggression, bear some discussion. Throughout the last two decades of the 18th century Spain had been coercing French inhabitants and American immigrants to leave the east side of the river and become citizens of Spain. The commandant of St. Louis had even gone so far as to write to the French at Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes, and offer them free lands west of the Mississippi (Boggess 1908:55). At the same time Spain was hoping to attract American citizens and foment a movement for separation of the west from the United States, they were also negotiating for a commercial treaty with the United States (Boggess 1908:73). In light of these conditions, St. Louis would have had many reasons for granting the ferry monopoly. Not only would it give easy access to the steady flow of settlers from Illinois to the Spanish side of the Mississippi, it would also provide a direct link to the productive American Bottoms, including agricultural products and lumber that St. Louis sorely needed. Most likely, Trudeau and Piggott were looking ahead to the commercial potential of this direct link to the American territory in the event that the trade negotiations between Spain and the United States were successful. Obviously both parties had enough foresight to see the development of the east side of the river as an adjunct in the St. Louis market sphere as an inevitable course of events, no matter what the outcome of the political intrigue.
However, did the St. Louis citizenship that Piggott acquired as a result of this ferry monopoly have any implications reaching farther than a mere concern for good public relations with the French constituents of the Mississippi Valley? In becoming a French citizen of St. Louis, Piggott was also, technically, a citizen of Spain. In their goal of Spanish control of the American northwest territory, Spain was acquiring nominal control of the east side of the river through control of Piggott (a new citizen of Spanish St. Louis). Spain's foothold on the east side of the river through their influence on Piggott was tenuous to be sure, though no one can dispute the fact that success of the new ferry was entirely dependent on the continued benevolence of Spanish St. Louis. Piggott did in fact take his Spanish citizenship seriously and moved his family to the west side. He was possibly managing the ferry business from the station on the St. Louis side of the river at the foot of Market Street (Reavis 1876:51,52). Whatever the designs Spain might have had on Piggott and the east side of the river, they never materialized before Piggott's death in 1799, and American acquisition of Louisiana and the west side of the Mississippi River in 1803 (McReynolds 1962:31, 32).

Well, it's time to start asking the Big Questions.
I've gathered enough energy now and have integrated much of this latest experience of missed miscarriage to begin my new project. In conjunction with writing the book (yes, that's still going along, however slowly), I am going to start properly tuning/tapping in. I haven't had all the tools or understanding until now.
But a question posed to me just yesterday, about finding what I was really – no, really – passionate about and knowing I would know when I knew (how clear…) suddenly woke me up into this new reality.
My waking thoughts as I lay in Recovery all revolved around women. The women who had woken in that room, after IVF egg collections, after suction curettes, after day surgeries on their "parts". They were filling my head. I cried then. I cried for me, it's a given, but I cried for them too. How many people had woken in there with the realisation that their baby's life was officially over? Or that they were about to be plunged again into another IVF cycle with yet another unknown outcome.
I became desperate to get up and move into action. In that bed, in the space of two hours, I planned to do something, whatever it was that I, specifically, could do for these mothers and babies. I went from wanting to be there with them as they were put under, someone to comfort them as I have been done too many times now ("so that means I'll have to maybe become a theatre nurse"), then I wanted to be there to gently help them wake into their new existence as the realisation hit them ("I just want to take that emptiness and pain away for them, so maybe that means …. a Recovery Room nurse?") and finally, I landed on the possibility of becoming a midwife.
So when I was confronted yesterday and talked straight (with Jen), I remembered that final consideration, that seemed sillier the more I woke out of my anaesthetised fog, and in a split instant as she was talking, it smacked me square between the eyes with an undeniable knowing. A midwife. That's what I'm heading towards becoming. A spiritual midwife.
The woman who sits before the mother; the one who holds; the earth-mother; the woman who massages; the woman who leads the child by the hand to be with us; the woman who holds the pelvis; the cord mother; the medicine woman; the wise woman…
[Sheila Kitzinger, Rediscovering Birth, 2001, p131]
On another, though not unrelated, note… What are we missing? What are we not focusing on? What do babies need their mothers to do, say, ask, prepare for them to come and stay, long before they get here?
I called the title of this post 'A Stoning' because, hey, these are questions that are pertinent and yet very rarely brought out and honestly faced. There is a lot of sweeping under the carpet of such esoteric questioning and striving to understand.
I am not saying I brought miscarriage on myself. This is such a naive notion, which goes in the same basket as "I had a fight with my husband or had bad feelings towards him so that's why it's left"….. totally reasonable (though irrational, in hindsight sometimes) thoughts for a woman to have when she lives in such a cause and effect world. I've thought it myself – I spent years living in a self-imposed state of persecution that I must obviously be a bad, evil-to-the-core human being and I was also inflicting my childless fate on my dear husband, who actually did deserve to have a child. It was horrendous reasoning. Frantic, desperate, fear-filled questions of my fate.
When one has lost a child, and lost pregnancies nearing double figures, one asks… "Why is this happening?" Before the LGBB, I had a lot of time to ask those questions. But my focus was absolutely thoroughly blinded by the heavy fog of desperately needing a child to help me fill the void. I can only thank all my lucky, lucky stars that they upstairs saw fit to send me someone who would enhance my experiences and actually make me useful, hopefully, to others sometime down the track.
For I'm no longer talking with the experience of my first or second or fifth miscarriage anymore. I'm walking with the after-effects of my ninth. Sure, on one level this is just a number. And, hell yeah, I know there are more women out there with even greater numbers of loss. Whatever their experiences are to deal with and heal and grow from are their business. My purpose, my passion, my drive… comes from needing to actually talk to the babies. And I know what I need to ask them.
I am scared shitless. But I am going headlong into it. I can do it now. And it's exciting.

It appears what everyone thought is now official: Gabriel Landeskog is staying with the Colorado Avalanche.
According to the Denver Post, the Avalanche have confirmed that Landeskog will not be sent back to junior before his tenth game in the NHL, which will likely happen tonight against Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the Edmonton Oilers. Landeskog was selected second overall in June's draft, behind Nugent-Hopkins, who could be playing in his 10th game tonight as well.
Landeskog has scored two goals and four assists in nine games with the Avalanche, playing on a line with Ryan O'Reilly and Daniel Winnik.

|Company Overview Topics
|Explosive Sales
In 1990, explosive sales and a quest for a state-of-the-art facility that would spotlight the advantages of using geothermal energy led WaterFurnace International, Inc., to build its 115,000-square-foot corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana. WaterFurnace installed what was at the time the largest geothermal pond loop system in North America to provide the building's heating and cooling.
The system uses a combination of WaterFurnace's own geothermal units, including Premier2, Spectra and water-to-water. Horizontal units condition various zones within the two-story office space and seven large-capacity horizontal units--totaling 70 tons--conditioning the manufacturing area. The total capacity of the system is 153 tons, 134 of which were installed in 1991 and 19 of which were added in 1995. The environmental control for the testing laboratory consists of 42 Premier units. The lab support equipment--totaling 168 tons--uses the pond loop as a tempering medium when lab requirements fluctuate outside of specified limits.

Numerology Articles
Destiny Numbers
Now that you know your name number and your birth path number, you can determine your destiny number. It's quite simple; just add your name number and your birth path number. I'll use mine as an example:
My name number is a 1.
My birth path number is 9.
1+9 = 10.
Because that is a double digit, one must add 1+0 which equals 1.
Here is what destiny numbers tell us:
1) Ones are normally self-made, with just a bit of help and a pinch of luck. They prefer to do it on their own and are tenacious. Because of their stick-to-it attitude they generally succeed in whatever they chose.
2) Twos have a tendency to ride the roller-coaster of life. Sometimes up. Sometimes down. If a two accepts a helping hand and utilizes their natural gift of perception, they can be quite successful in life.
3) Threes find success in almost anything they do. The number harmonizes to the finer things in the physical world which can be garnered by a three with a little ambition and an open mind.
4) Fours are generally honorable in intent and good business partners. If they chose their profession carefully, nothing can prevent success. Fours love stability and security and are often involved with real estate (terra firma) in some way.
5) Fives are too trusting of others and sometimes leap before they look. A variety of experiences, perceived as good and bad, weave through their lives. But, if a five stands their ground and relies on their inner strength and knowledge they will achieve whatever the goal.
6) Sixes have opportunity fall at their feet. The trick is to recognize them and utilize them to their fullest potential. Be alert and tenacious and keep those eyes wide open, good things are happening all around you. Determine what they are and set your sites.
7) Sevens have a gift. Sometimes they can't be cornered in one path of life and can give the appearance of being flighty. They aren't. They are smart, let life lead them in numerous directions and set no boundaries for themselves. Often sevens have no interest in money or physical trappings, yet they find themselves in the midst of wealth.
8) Eights need to be shrewd where money is concerned. Financially they can experience many ups and downs. It is vitally important to learn from these exercises, make determinations on your future goals and go after them. Be determined, work hard and achieve.
9) Nines are normally contented, artistically talented people that thrive on friendship. The are helpful to others and informative, but tend to not be over achievers. Theirs is usually a comfortable, uncomplicated life without any extremes.
11) Elevens tend to get involved with the biggest projects around. And they usually make them a success. They are constantly busy and take comfort in their ability to juggle numerous things at once. An eleven truly is the master of their own destiny.
22) Twenty Twos are easily swayed by others. Diligence is your watchword. Don't be attracted by things that sound too good to be true. Instead, follow your own dreams and strive to take control of your life. Success is what you determine it will be.

Why Oracle still looks like a smart buy
Heading into the enterprise software giant's latest earnings release, it appears that its share price fails to truly reflects the company's long-term value.
Say what you want about the dormant nature of enterprise IT spending: Oracle (ORCL) certainly knows how to keep things interesting.
First, the database giant surprised the entire sector with its $2.1 billion acquisition of Acme Packet (APKT). Then, a little more than a month later, the company announced its intent to pick off network vendor Tekelec.
Although the Tekelec announcement didn't push the needle in terms of media attention, the move nonetheless demonstrates how serious Oracle is to differentiate itself from cloud rivals including Salesforce.com (CRM) and SAP (SAP). But perhaps more noteworthy is this deal signals the confidence of CEO Larry Ellison and Oracle's management team to go after telecom assets to combat (among others) Cisco (CSCO).
Given Tekelec's mobile traffic handling capabilities, Oracle now has ways to leverage Acme Packet's existing strengths in data control to service the needs of large telecom giants including Verizon (VZ). This was a space that was dominated by Cisco and Juniper Networks (JNPR). Not anymore.
Struggles with sales execution
However, this has not stopped the Street from harping on Oracle's third-quarter earnings disappointment, which immediately sent the stock tumbling down 8% in March. Management said then the miss was due to struggles with sales execution. The company had hired new salespeople in the preceding quarters, many of whom struggled to close deals, resulting in the 1% revenue decline.
It wasn't a good quarter, but Oracle's management didn't pretend it was, either. It's also worth noting here that the third quarter is historically Oracle's weakest. It certainly didn't help that the government cuts known as the sequester fell into that quarter. Investors, spooked by the results, sold off the stock fearing Oracle's near-term outlook despite margins remaining intact.
Investors also discounted that Exadata, Oracle's intelligent storage server solution, which rivals competing products from EMC (EMC) and IBM's (IBM) SmartCloud, was up 82% year over year. I don't expect there will be any type of slowdown in the fourth-quarter earnings announcement due out Thursday.
The Street is looking for a much improved performance. The consensus estimate is for earnings of 87 cents per share on revenue of $11.12 billion, which would represent revenue growth of just over 1%. These numbers seem very conservative to me, however. If my suspicions are correct that customers had postponed orders in the third quarter, I expect these orders will manifest themselves during this upcoming announcement.
Looking good over the next 5 years
I'm not suggesting this will be a slam-dunk quarter. But I don't anticipate Oracle will have similar issues with closing deals, given the recent positive results and upbeat guidance provided by Cisco.
With that in mind, I would be a buyer of Oracle shares ahead of the earnings report. I don't believe the current share price truly reflects Oracle's long-term value.
What's more, over the next five years the company should be able to produce high-single-digit revenue growth, while demonstrating improving free cash flow margins. I still see $40 as an achievable target by the end of the year.

Nuclear models > The shell model
In the preceding section, the overall trends of nuclear binding energies were described in terms of a charged-liquid-drop model. Yet there were noted periodic binding-energy irregularities at the magic numbers. The periodic occurrence of magic numbers of extra stability is strongly analogous to the extra electronic stabilities occurring at the atomic numbers of the noble-gas atoms. The explanations of these stabilities are quite analogous in atomic and nuclear cases as arising from filling of particles into quantized orbitals of motion. The completion of filling of a shell of orbitals is accompanied by an extra stability. The nuclear model accounting for the magic numbers is, as previously noted, the shell model. In its simplest form, this model can account for the occurrence of spin zero for all eveneven nuclear ground states; the nucleons fill pairwise into orbitals with angular momenta canceling. The shell model also readily accounts for the observed nuclear spins of the odd-mass nuclei adjacent to doubly magic nuclei, such as 208/82Pb. Here, the spins of 1/2 for neighbouring 207/81Tl and 207/82Pb are accounted for by having all nucleons fill pairwise into the lowest energy orbits and putting the odd nucleon into the last available orbital before reaching the doubly magic configuration (the Pauli exclusion principle dictates that no more than two nucleons may occupy a given orbital, and their spins must be oppositely directed); calculations show the last available orbitals below lead-208 to have angular momentum 1/2. Likewise, the spins of 9/2 for 209/82Pb and 209/83Bi are understandable because spin-9/2 orbitals are the next available orbitals beyond doubly magic lead-208. Even the associated magnetization, as expressed by the magnetic dipole moment, is rather well explained by the simple spherical-shell model.
The orbitals of the spherical-shell model are labeled in a notation close to that for electronic orbitals in atoms. The orbital configuration of calcium-40 has protons and neutrons filling the following orbitals: 1s1/2, 1p3/2, 1p1/2, 1d5/2, and 1d3/2. The letter denotes the orbital angular momentum in usual spectroscopic notation, in which the letters s, p, d, f, g, h, i, etc., represent integer values of l running from zero for s (not to be confused with spins) through six for i. The fractional subscript gives the total angular momentum j with values of l + 1/2 and l - 1/2 allowed, as the intrinsic spin of a nucleon is 1/2. The first integer is a radial quantum number taking successive values 1, 2, 3, etc., for successively higher energy values of an orbital of given l and j. Each orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2j + 1 nucleons. The exact order of various orbitals within a shell differs somewhat for neutrons and protons (see
for the orbitals comprising each shell). The parity associated with an orbital is even (+) if l is even (s, d, g, i) and odd (-) if l is odd (p, f, h).
An example of a spherical-shell-model interpretation is provided by the beta-decay scheme of 2.2-minute thallium-209 shown below, in which spin and parity are given for each state. The ground and lowest excited states of lead-209 are to be associated with occupation by the 127th neutron of the lowest available orbitals above the closed shell of 126. From the last line of the table, it is to be noted
that there are available g9/2, d5/2, and s1/2 orbitals with which to explain the ground and first two excited states. Low-lying states associated with the i11/2 and j15/2 orbitals are known from nuclear-reaction studies, but they are not populated in the beta decay.
The 2.13-MeV state that receives the primary beta decay is not so simply interpreted as the other states. It is to be associated with the promotion of a neutron from the 3p1/2 orbital below the 126 shell closure. The density (number per MeV) of states increases rapidly above this excitation, and the interpretations become more complex and less certain.
By suitable refinements, the spherical-shell model can be extended further from the doubly magic region. Primarily, it is necessary to drop the approximation that nucleons move independently in orbitals and to invoke a residual force, mainly short-range and attractive, between the nucleons. The spherical-shell model augmented by residual interactions can explain and correlate around the magic regions a large amount of data on binding energies, spins, magnetic moments, and the spectra of excited states.

One of our awesome followers, Denise Heredia, takes you step-by-step through the making of her lovely ombre studded shorts. Thanks Denise!
"I have decided to edit my own pair of shorts in a very summery way haha lol! Going out of the stereotypical kind of shorts which are white, black or colored, I've decided to create ombre shorts! Ombre is the gradient effect that's seen in fashion shows and are super in trend right now! From Abbey Lee Kershaw's hair dip dyes to Topshop collections, I'm loving it! (aren't you?) But, since I'm a fan of Tumblr but I don't have my own account, I always see these kinds of shorts and tried to copy them! The brand is Runwaydreamz and they sell amazing shorts with studs and goes with the whole Coachella, I'm-too-cool look! Here they are and below are steps on how to make your own! Hope you try it! It's super fun!
"Here's the finished product that I'm soooo happy to have made.
That's me btw! Know how excited I am? I'll wear them today! HAHA!
"Runwaydreamz that cost about $150-200! No wayyy but they're so pretty!
"My latest purchase. So happy I got this one @ Rockell PowerMac that it became my inspiration for this Do-It-Yourself project!
Pink Ombre Belkin iPhone 4 case
"Materials needed! From left to right: White shorts (Cotton On), Venus Dye in Pink, Studs from Carolina's, and a knife to insert the studs!
(From left to right)
1.) Boil hot water and add the dye.
2.) Dip the tip of the shorts in the colored water.
3.) Use anything (in my case, a spoon) to scoop the colored water half-way up the shorts.
4.) Then create a darker mixture by adding more dye and dip JUST the tip of the shorts
1.) Dry the shorts (Woke up going straight down to see if it's dry since I dyed it at night).
2.) Prepare the knife and studs.
3.) One by one, push the studs onto the shorts and use the knife (or your hands which I did but it HURT!) to push the metals down to secure the studs.
4.) Done with the area of the pocket!
"This project was truly a great unexpected expectation! Try these out! They're perfect for the summer and it'll go with anything (trust me, I've mix and matched them with different tops already)! So, instead of getting those super over-priced Runwayydreammzz, make these! They're super easy and all in all it cost me less than a thousand Pesos!
Happy D-I-Y-ing! Tell me about what you did in my Twitter! Have fun! :)
Visit my blog too! It's http://expecttheunexpectedwithdenise.blogspot.com :)"

Variety: Kazakh Film backs 'Arabian Nights'
Dec 08, 2011 - 11:06 PM
BY NICK HOLDSWORTH Kazakh Film, Kazakhstan's state company, has boarded Chuck Russell's 3D adaptation of '1001 Arabian Nights,' starring Liam Hemsworth, which will shoot in the oil-and-gas-rich central Asian state next year. Russell, who directed 'The Mask' and 'The Scorpion King,' has been scouting locations for the $70 million pic for the past year and will start shooting in June.

Other locations are understood to ... read more
Variety: Royal influence pays off in Middle East

BY ALISSA SIMON As the 2010 Dubai fest drew to a close, Jordanian feature 'Transit Cities' from helmer Mohammad Hushki nabbed the special jury prize in the Muhr Arab competition as well as the international film critics' award. That pic also marked the first production to emerge from an innovative programme Jordan's Royal Film Commission (RFC) designed to produce quality, low-budget features.

Imam is my grandfather from my mother's side. He was killed in 1969, in police custody in Cape Town. He's left quite a strong legacy in Cape Town, as a hero. I was born in 1975, I never got to meet him. There were so many stories around his death and his legacy, I wanted to find out who he was as a grandfather, so I set out to make my next film about him and ended up being in the film myself.

Dec 08, 2011 - 10:41 PM
Producer/director Karan Gour and actor Rashika Dugal (actor) discuss 'Kshay' (Corrode). Why is the movie shot in black and white? Karan Gour: We shot it in black and white because it fits with the narrative. Black and white are opposites and everything Chhaya does is about opposites. The entire movie deals with opposites - between her and her husband, in the way she thinks. They are extremes and that is the reason we wanted to have the movie in black and white. Just like the life of the protagonist, devoid of colour because of her obsession. Was the film shot in colour or black and white? KG: We actually ... read more

I'll be the first to admit it – when I first heard that Nightscout was in the "CGM in the cloud" business, I was very skeptical. I mean, I was a big fan of their music back in the day, but what could a group of 1980s arena rockers possibly know about cloud-based diabetes technology? Writing Sister Christian is one thing. Writing code for open-source software is completely another! Nightscout completely proved me wrong and I'm happy to report...

Stylish and practical chrome shower riser rail
Stylish and practical chrome shower riser rail
"I had none of the problems in the other two reviews. the screw is more than long enough when it is passed through the riser tube before fixing. This is a good value product, not perhaps in the gold plated taps quality, but it does the job for which it is designed when installed correctly."
"This product is cheap but very badly designed. The kit includes two screws and two wall plugs however, the screws are too short for the plugs and only a few threads are left exposed once you insert them into the holders, they push straight into the plugs leaving no way to secure it. I had to go to another shop and purches longer screws and wall plugs to install it. Ther riser bar is also badly designed, it has a notch cut out at one end, presumably so that it fits snugly over the head of the screw, but the manufacturers have left an extrusion in the plastic cap so the bar doesn't fit properly and it doesn't work on the other end either. I had to cut my own grooves out to accomodate the riser bar fitting over the heads of the screws. Yes I wish i had spent a few quid more on a better product."
"Bought this riser rail, thought it looked great. It did for the first 2 weeks, but now has started to rust. You'd think that they'd have thought this through - hmm, shower, steam perhaps it needs to be rustproof. This riser rail is the classic false economy. Do yourself a favour, spend a few more quid on a decent riser rail that has a white plastic coating. If you get this, you are likely to be disappointed (unless, you have a bathroom that is so brilliantly ventilated, steam will not come in contact with the rail)."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Louisville woman was arraigned Wednesday morning at Metro Corrections for multiple counts of burglary, fraudulent use of a credit card and engaging in organized crime.
Lashanda Jefferson, 31, was arrested Tuesday afternoon at her mother's home in Louisville. She is one of seven women police said was involved in string of burglaries at five hospitals in St. Matthews, Audubon Park and Downtown Louisville.
Six of the suspects, who are all women, are still missing - all of them are Jefferson's sisters.
Police said the women walked into patient rooms and offices at the hospitals on various occasions before Christmas last year and took wallets, purses and credit cards. They allegedly spent more than $10,000 of stolen money at department stores and gas stations.
Jefferson made a full confession to the crime after her arrest, police said, and now they urging the other suspects to turn themselves in to authorities.
Police are currently looking for Anjenette Jefferson, 33, Donnika Jefferson, 30, Adrienne Talbott, 24, Nicole Jefferson, 28, Teyanna (Jefferson) Locke and April Jefferson, 20. (Click on the name to see a photo.)

We had a fabulous stay at this property. We had a large group with multiple families, and the home met our needs in every way, from games to clean linens to plenty of beds as well as community space, to a great hot tub. The house feels brand new and perfectly maintained, very clean and beautiful. We will definitely be staying here again!
I rented Chalet David for a weekend this summer with a group of friends and everyone loved the place. It is super clean, has all of the amenities, and was just a wonderful place to stay. The owner Paul was easy and a pleasure to work with and was very prompt with returning the security deposit. I will definitely look into renting this place again in the future!

Greenfield police confiscated nearly 30 bags of heroin, cash and a digital scale from an alleged drug dealer following a traffic stop Monday afternoon.
Officers were on traffic duty on Leydon Road just north of Murphy Park when they noticed a vehicle traveling north at a high rate of speed.
During a traffic stop the driver told police she was speeding because she "didn't know that the police would be there." Furthermore, police noticed that the driver's cell phone was placed in front of the speedometer and was playing a movie during the traffic stop, according to an arrest report.
When police asked for identification from the 26-year-old male passenger who was not using his seatbelt, he became extremely nervous and started rummaging through his backpack. While he was looking for his identification, the officers saw several bottles of medication, a scale, many small zip lock bags and paper consistent with heroin packaging, police said.
After an investigation, police found $150 cash, four suboxone strips, which are used to treat opiate addiction, lorazepam, diazepam and six bundles of heroin, police said.
The passenger, identified as Phillip Johnson, of 84 Bayberry Ct., stated to the investigating officer, "I just started dealing," according to the arrest report.
In total, police found Johnson in possession of 28 bags of heroin.
Johnson was charged with possession of a Class A drug, Class B drug and a Class C drug, all with intent to distribute, police said.
Bail was set by Clerk Magistrate Chaffee at $100, the arrest report indicated.
The driver of the vehicle was unaware Johnson was in possession of heroin, which was contained inside his backpack. She was issued a citation for multiple motor vehicle charges, police said.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Emergency manager Kevyn Orr says a deal to settle some debt is an "important development" for Detroit.
The agreement will save millions of dollars for the city by terminating a rate swap deal with banks. The bankruptcy judge had told the city to try to get a better arrangement with banks and the judge must still okay this agreement.
Orr says the city has also said the deal will reduce a financing loan.
