Having access to Arcane Barrage right off the bat is wonderful, it's such a pretty spell. :) I too have thought Arcane Blast needs to be learned right there when you get Frostbolt and Fireball, as well as a number of other spells for many classes.
Frostfire orb is great, so glad they're not leaving the new spell to one spec alone.
When I made up an Arcane spec, it came out nearly the same as the one you made up in the image and that troubles me. I have to wonder if Burning Soul applies to all spell schools. If that's so, that's better than what it currently is, but I'd still like to see pushback resistance baked into all three specialization bonuses. That'd make leveling a spec of your choice much more fluid and fun.

Odds & Ends (Vibrational) Essences
These vibrational essences cover other aspects of the universe that do not fit in with our other categories. These essences are extremely powerful and should be used with the highest intentions. These essences can also be used with other essences as a booster.Lynx Graywolf
The God Sound Au-Men A very powerful essence that connects us with the sound of creation and manifestation. Used alone or in combination with other essences, it creates a vortex of high, positive energy that automatically eliminates negativity and draws our highest good to us easily and effortlessly. This essence fills us with a sense of wonder and gratitude for All That Is and that energy is returned to us multiplied many times over.
The Law Of Vibration Everything resonates with it's own vibratory rate. When we align ourselves and intentions with the vibratory rate of love, peace, consciousness or anything else, that's what we manifest in our lives. When using this essence, set a clear intention of what you desire to resonate with, and allow the Universe to do the rest. This essence helps to carry your intentions to the highest levels of the Universe where anything is possible. It is Universal law that what we resonate with must manifest in our lives. This is also a wonderful essence for clearing yourself, or any thing, of any negativity by focusing on higher states of consciousness and then using this essence.
Follow Your Dreams, Follow Your Bliss All of us have dreams we would love to manifest in our lives, but too often we allow limitations, lack of faith or self-confidence to block our dreams from becoming a reality. This essence draws in Universal assistance, so we can not only manifest our dreams, but recognize them as impulses from our highest selves to lead us to create that which is for the highest good of all. When we feed and pursue our dreams, we create a new world in which all are free to create their own sacred space and bliss.
The Magical Self Within each of us lives a magical self that knows how to create through sound, symbolism and trust. When we allow this magical self to work with us, we can create anything we desire easily and effortlessly. This essence helps us to connect with our own magical self and draw upon its divine energy to create whatever we can imagine for ourselves and the planet. We do what we feel guided to do from within and allow the magical self and the universe to do the rest.
Plant Care Essence Excellent for all indoor/outdoor plants. Raises their vibration to encourage maximum growth while repelling pests and diseases.
Individual Morningstar essences are available in 1/2 oz. ($8.50), 1 oz. ($13.50), and 2 oz ($22.50) dropper bottles.
Morningstar now offers a choice of essences in spring water with brandy, vanilla rum, or no alcohol! Please state your preference when ordering. If no preference is stated, brandy will be used.
To order any items not yet shopping-cart-enabled, please use PayPal to email@example.com, or send us an email or call us. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and PayPal.

Dick Clark, the creator of "American Bandstand" and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," died Wednesday morning, his rep tells FoxNews.com.
He was 82.
Clark suffered a massive heart attack after entering St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica Tuesday night for an outpatient procedure, according to his family.
Attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful.
Clark had suffered a stroke in 2004, which forced him to significantly curtail his hosting of "New Years' Rockin' Eve," a show he created in 1972.
Long dubbed "the world's oldest teenager" because of his boyish appearance, Clark was also a successful businessman. He created a variety of popular game shows and music specials, including the American Music Awards.
But it was "American Bandstand" for which Clark was best known. The show was one of network TV's longest-running series, airing as part of ABC's daytime lineup from 1957 to 1987.
Over the years, "Bandstand" introduced stars ranging from Buddy Holly to Michael Jackson to Madonna.
Clark is survived by his wife Kari and his three children, RAC, Duane and Cindy.

RHN Bind Update Brings Down RHEL Named
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the remind-me-of-your-name-again dept.312
alexs writes "Red Hat's response to update bind through RHN, patching the DNS hole, made a fatal error which will revert all name servers to caching only servers. This meant that anyone running their own DNS service promptly lost all of their DNS records for which they were acting as primary or secondary name servers. Expect quite a few services provided by servers running RHEL to, errr, die until their system administrators can restore their named.conf. Instead of installing etc/named.conf to etc/named.rpmnew, Red Hat moved the current etc/named.conf to etc/named.conf.rpmsave and replaced etc/named.conf with the default caching only configuration. The fix is easy enough, but this is a schoolboy error which I am surprised Red Hat made. Unfortunately we were hit and our servers went down overnight while RHN dropped its bomb and I am frankly surprised there has not been more of an uproar about this."

Cook or poach egg to liking
Toast English muffin
Use any protein to your liking – Canadian bacon, salmon, etc.
Top with Hollandaise sauce
Hollandaise sauce:
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup clarified butter
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dijon
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and dijon together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use for the eggs benedict. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.

Ever wanted a nice music player for your blog that wasn't a simple bar installation? Then you're in luck because this tutorial will show you how to get something like this:
This tutorial might appear to exhausting, but I've come across some that are incomplete and not very easy to follow so I sought out to remedy this. If you've found this helpful please give a like so I know if I should make some more tutorials in the future.
(Please note that the back ground colour has been changed and the original coding credit goes to Gyapo)
Step One: Getting your music onto a public host site
1) Make sure that the songs you want to use are saved locally onto your computer. If you don't have the MP3 files don't fret! As long as you're using Google Chrome there is an extension for that. Simply download FDV Video Downloader and make sure that it Enabled. To do this simply go to your Options> Settings > Extensions> Enabled in your Chrome browser
2) Once that is done you will see an arrow on your toolbar like this:
All you have to do is search the song on Tumblr and make sure the media is active, this means simply play the song and then the arrow will become this:
Clicking that blue arrow will now create a drop down menu where it will list the found media on your page. Sometimes more than one option will appear but your best bet is to download the largest file:
3) All of your downloads will then appear in the Download folder on your computer and ready to upload onto a public host site such as Dropbox, which is the site that I used. It requires you to sign up but it's a useful tool for many reasons that I won't list here.
4) Now upload your MP3's and open up Billy Player. When your download is complete you will now have a list with the option on the right hand side to Share Link. A dialog box will pop up that asks if you want to "Share Link" but simply exit out. Instead right click on the "Download" button and select "Copy link address".
5) Now all you need to do is paste that URL into the http:// spaces in Billy Player as well as add a name for those songs. Here you can select your autoplay option if you wish to have the songs start immediately when someone visits your blog.
6) When you're done that simply click "Generate Code" and keep that tab open. We'll need that code later!
Step Two: Adding the music player coding to your theme
1) Open up your blog and access the theme code that you're currently using. I find it easier to copy and paste the coding into a word document while I'm making my changes but this is completely up to you.
2) Copy the following code ABOVE </style> :
#cornerplayer {z-index:999; background-color:#000; width:50px; height:50px; border-radius:0px 50px 0px 0px; -moz-border-radius:0px 50px 0px 0px; position:fixed; overflow:hidden; bottom:0px; left:0px; -webkit-transition: opacity 0.8s linear;-webkit-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;-moz-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;} #cornericon {margin-top:25px; margin-bottom:20px; margin-left:-5px; -webkit-transition: opacity 0.8s linear;-webkit-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;-moz-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;-o-transition: all 0.8s ease-in-out;} #cornerplayer:hover {width:200px; -moz-border-radius:0px; border-radius:0px;} #cornerplayer:hover #cornericon {margin-top:10px; margin-left:0px; margin-bottom:4px;}
3) Copy the following code UNDER  :

 MUSIC PLAYER CODE HERE

4) In the space "MUSIC PLAYER CODE HERE" delete that bit of text and paste in the code that is waiting for you in the tab with Billy Player.
Simply Save and Exit your theme and you're now done! However, if you'd like to change the background colour as I did with mine simply use the following instructions
Customization: Changing the background colour
1) Find the HEX Code for the colour you would like to use and change the following coding. Make sure that you are not deleting the "#" or ";"

A fund has been established for 24-year-old Derek Martie as he continues to fight for his life at an Iowa City hospital.
Investigators believe Martie and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Kate Leekley, were hit by a drunk driver last weekend. Leekley died from her injuries.
Donations to offset medical expenses for Martie can be made at the Bank of Iowa in Jesup under the "Benefit for Derek Martie" fund.
All the money will help with medical expenses.
Family members said Martie continues to make progress, but he is still on life support. He is scheduled to have another surgery Monday.
An additional fund has been established for Kate Leekley's family; donations for the "Kate Leekley Benefit Fund" can be made at any Veridian Credit Union or online: https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/6Xqza

The 5.7-inch Liquid X1 boasts some serious processing power with its eight-core 1.7GHz CPU and Cat 4 LTE capabilities.
Pricing not available
Although the MediaPad X1's software is unquestionably clunky, it still has a lot going for it. If you're struggling to decide between buying a new phone or a new tablet, the X1's 4G LTE capabilities make it a fair compromise.
Don't call this a phone -- despite its phone-like shape and voice-calling capabilities, the Panasonic insists that it's a slate.
Pricing not available
The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app.
Quibbles aside, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones are a modestly improved version of the already spectacular model they're based on, and among the best-sounding pairs you'll find for less than $200.
The newest addition to its enthusiast compact line seems targeted at drawing buyers away from Sony's RX100 II.
It's not a driver aid powerhouse, but the 2013 BMW xDrive28i with the M Sport package is a driver's car with great handling and a spartan yet premium feel.
The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 adds must-have features for 2013, and remains a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover appeal.
Pricing not available
The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential.
For its entry-level ILC, Fujifilm swaps out the X-Trans sensor and gives the camera a less snazzy finish.

The Seven Days of Vacation
I am counting the days to fun in the sun and I thought I would share a little song:
On the first day of vacation my true love sent to me one margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the second day of vacation my true love sent to me two enchiladas and a margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the third day of vacation my true love sent to me three cabana men, two enchiladas, and a margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the fourth day of vacation my true love sent to me four Spanx bikinis, three cabana men, two enchiladas, and a margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the fifth day of vacation my true love sent to me five golden bottles of tequila, four Spanx bikinis, three cabana men, two enchiladas, and a stiff margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the sixth day of vacation my true love sent to me six chatting parrots, five golden bottles of tequila, four Spanx bikinis, three cabana men, two enchiladas, and a stiff margarita in a big shiny glass!
On the seventh day of vacation my true love sent to me seven extra strength Tylenol, six chatting parrots, five golden bottles of tequila, four Spanx bikinis, three cabana men, two enchiladas, and a stiff margarita in a big shiny glass!
God I wish there was twelve days of vacation what was I thinking!
What do you love about vacation?
Pale as a Ghost
It was a couple of hours after I wrote Homework and the Elusive Flu Bug that the scene from the exorcist was replayed across my bathroom floor with my youngest son. It was at that moment I felt I had enough of puke for a century as I scrubbed the night away.
It was after I was done cleaning and fully recovered from the poisonous fumes that I went to check in on my little man, "Honey, you look as pale as a ghost!"
He looked at me "I do!"
"Yes! You do!"
It is with that he lifted both of hands to examine them carefully for several minutes. He then looked up at me and sighed, "Mom! I think you are crazy! I can still see my hands and I definitely do not look like a ghost!"
Have you ever taken someone's words literally? Did it end with humorous results?
Homework and the Elusive Flu Bug
My son sat at the kitchen table as he worked through his mountain of homework. He looked up at me and said, "Mom I don't feel so well!"
I walked over and felt his forehead, "You don't feel warm just finish up the last three questions and we will do the rest of the morning."
He sighed, "Fine! But my stomach really hurts."
It was with a sigh, I gave him a stern look, and made him complete the project. He gave me his puppy eyes and I thought to myself "I am not caving in this time."
It was an hour later when I heard it, the noise every parent hates to hear, the gag, the cough, the sound of projectile vomit hitting the walls, and carpeted floor!
I took a deep breath, entering the room of vomit, he looked up at me "See I told you I was sick!"
It was as I waded up to me knees in vomit and fighting the urge to lose my own cookies that I vowed to never be skeptical of the words "Mom! I feel sick!"
If I had only paid attention to those simple words – it would have saved me from a three-hour scrub-out from hell!
Have you ever experienced the scrub-out from hell? Did you keep your cookies?
Snow Forts and Blogging
Since the first seasonal snowfall my children have developed a one track mind to build the perfect snow fort. They come home from school with anticipation of building a snow fort that has seats, a bowling alley, and somewhere to fit a big screen TV.
It is when they are in the planning stages it makes me think how this snow fort is similar to the many stages of blogging. They both take time, thought, and creativity. It is the creation of a vision that sometimes crumbles and other times takes on a life form of its own.
It's in the early hours of the day we wait for inspiration to hit in order to write the perfect post. It comes to us whether we are in the midst of doing the dishes, going for a run, or strikes the moment the perfect song come on the radio.
As I watch my sons become inspired with ideas drawing their blueprints for their fort. It reminds me of the times I create my own outline for each post attempting to plan what I want to write and follow thru on the intent of the post.
It is with the completion of the blueprints they spend the next fifteen minutes fidgeting, getting ready, and finally fumbling into their snow suits. The next fifteen minutes before I begin to work on my post is the final stages of procrastination – answering emails, getting up for more coffee, and operating the laundry machine before sitting down to write.
The boys finally run outside with their shovels in their hands and they begin to build their snow fort. They is dig within the snow and attempt to build their sturdy get away. I dig within my brain lifting layers of ideas until the words flow out getting lost in my own blogging space.
It is once the words flow-out I am left with a haphazard piece which begins to crumble before my eyes. It's too wordy? This doesn't work here? It is at this stage I begin to tear it apart and start over once again.
I look out the window and I see my sons debating the shape of their fort intent on making it only bigger! They pile the snow on top of the its roof attempting to create more space and more room to play.
It is once I feel comfortable with my own space, I feel it is fine, I then press the publish button. It is after I press the button I wait with anticipation for a friend to drop by to share their own thoughts with an imaginary warm cup of coffee. I look out the window to see a smile on my sons knowing faces that their fort is sturdy enough to sustain a snowball fight – they knock on their friends doors for them to come out and play!
It is the completion of both a fort and a post that make both a worthy task to complete on a snowy day. The ability to share something of your own with fellow bloggers, the and enjoyment of the comments. It is the same enjoyment my sons feel at the perfect moment to throw a snow ball in the air and chase his friends around the park.
It is these special moments which make me enjoy the process of blogging, the thoughts, the creation, and getting to know other fellow bloggers. So I ask is anyone up for a good snowball fight?
What does blogging feel like to you?
Bad to the Bone
A Movie Confession
It may come a surprise to you that one of my favorite movies of all time is Bram Stroker's Dracula. If a vampire was going to devour me whole then I would give my neck to Gary Oldman for better or worst. He masters the character of Dracula with torturous grace in an indulgent cinematic masterpiece.
As times change so does the image of the vampire.The ideal candidate is no longer the long tresses Transylvanian vamp. Sadly, a clean-cut clan of vampires from the Twilight saga has taken his throne for handsomest of them all.
I confess I read all of the books like a giddy teenager ignoring the fact that Edward could be considered a dangerous stalker with obsessive compulsive issues.
I will also confess to you that I played hookie this afternoon with a friend and we went to Breaking Dawn. We sat in the theater giggling and laughing at the most inappropriate of times. It was when I left the theater – I felt a little guilt for enjoying the movie a little too much.
My heart only has room for so many vampires and Gary Oldman will always be my one true love of darkness. I have a wandering eye, may have cheated a time or two, but he knows I always comeback to his blood-thirsty ways. Afterall, he is Dracula! I just hope he forgives me…
Do you have a movie confession you would like to get off your chest?
The Everyman
I believe there is a man haunting me in my sleep and I been having the same dream for five consecutive nights in a row. He is faceless, he reads my blog, and he leaves comments. The comments which leave me scratching my head in wonder…
It is as I am about to ask him a question he always leaves with a blink of the screen! I awake with only the memory of running from my computer in a sweat with a snake jumping at me!
It's at that moment when I am wide awake staring at the ceiling trying to remember his wise words of warning.
I wonder what does all of this mean – do I spend too much time on my blog? Is it weird that I am having dreams about comments? What is my subconscious telling me?
I have been channeling my inner dialogue but Freud is still upset about my last post and won't respond to any of my questions. Even though I know he is dying too! He thinks he has all the answers…
Do you ever have odd dreams? What do they tell you?
My Inner Dialogue
As I lay on my leather coach gazing out the picture window – my mind begins to swirl in an array of thoughts. It is at that moment of silence in which imaginary Freud pops in for a visit!
Me: I wonder why she doesn't like me?
Imaginary Freud: Does it matter?
Me: Not really!
Imaginary Freud: Good can we can get this nap started?
Me: Do you think I smile too much? Or maybe is it my laugh?
Imaginary Freud: What is wrong with smiling and laughing?
Me: Absolutely nothing! But do you think because I try to stay positive I annoy people?
Imaginary Freud: Possibly. But does it matter?
Me: Not really! I try to be sincere and compassionate.
Imaginary Freud: Are we talking about your mother?
Me: God! No! Why do you always have to go back to my mother?
Imaginary Freud: I was just wondering…So yes, yes, you try to be all of the above.
Me: What did I do wrong?
Imaginary Freud: They simply just do not like you.
Me: Fair enough.
Imaginary Freud: Can we get on with this nap?
Me: Yes! Best to get on that! But one more thing – do you think I should change who I am?
Imaginary Freud: Dear why change? You are who you are!
Me: Thank you! I guess it's their loss.
Imaginary Freud: Yup!
Me: So in the wise words of one of my favorite people "If you don't like what you see F@ &! Ya!"
Imaginary Freud: If we are not going to talk about your mother – could we please have a nap now!
Me: Yes! But because I'm talking to you in my head does that make me crazy?
Imaginary Freud: Please just go to sleep!
It is with that I took the hint, curled up with my blanket, and had a glorious nap!
Do you have an inner dialogue? What does it sound like?
A Morning of Memories
It was a beautiful morning! We emerged from our tent, ate a hearty breakfast, and looked forward to a half day of white water rafting.
Since our children were not old enough to take on the daring rapids we settled for the half day scenic adventure and it did not disappoint us.
We put on our wet suits, helmet, and life jacket ready to go down the kicking horse.
Our guide took us down the white water the children laughed over the bumps and helped row with all of their heart's content.
We stopped to scale a fresh water stream coming down the cliffs and discovered our kids were mountain goats three steps ahead of the crowd. It was at moments I gasped in fear that they might slip and fall! But they ceased to amaze me with their agility and strength.
The end of our journey the children looked on at the Kicking Horse wishing they were still on that raft. They wanted to explore the rest of the river and thought of the excitement of being thrown from the raft into the raging white water. It is at that moment you could see their imaginations take flight wanting something more – wanting to be fearless without the consequences.
It was on this small journey down the raft in which fond memories were made and I hope that one day we will do it again. I look forward to the day our young boys are men and we can take the white rapids head on with a little more excitement!
What is one of your favorite family memories?

Latham & Watkins: Modest growth" />Which firm was recently voted by associates as the fifteenth most prestigious firm in the UK to work for? And first for associate satisfaction and compensation? If you guessed Latham & Watkins, give yourself a gold star.
The result, which appeared in the most recent rankings by careers guide Vault, is not just surprising because Latham is a US firm in London. It is also news because Latham's London office verges on the anonymous, at least for a firm of its size.
Last Monday (30 October), Latham ranked fifth for revenue in The Lawyer Global 100 2006. Yet ask the market what it is that the world's fifth-largest law firm does in its second most important office - London - and most people will still mutter: "Maybe high-yield?"Six months on from his appointment as Latham's new London managing partner, The Lawyer met Andrew Moyle to find out whether the firm was concerned by its relative anonymity.
"I think that's partly the nature of Latham," says Moyle. "We don't grandstand."
There is grandstanding, and then there is being invisible. So let's get more specific. How many £500m-plus deals has the London office appeared on recently?"I think there are two things with that," says Moyle. "Clearly there's a private equity focus [in London] and the public M&A side is something that's going to have to be built over time. It's a market that's very well serviced in London. Having said that, we did the [E16.3bn (£10.9bn)] Bayer-Schering cross- border with Germany [with Christopher Hall representing Bayer], Michael [Immordino] led the Banca Intesa merger [with Sanpaolo IMI for E29.6bn (£19.79bn)], and there was the Avio sale [Latham advised Carlyle on the sale of the aerospace engine maker to Cinven]. We're taking mandates from the magic circle, there's no question about that." Yet Latham had only minor roles on these deals; it is a long way off leading major transactions.
Building LondonMoyle's line is that London's strategy is to build out new areas on a core finance practice. "We now have a strong finance practice, a strong UK corporate practice, a strong US corporate practice, and we're building a litigation practice that's gone from one lawyer two years ago to 17, if you include antitrust," he argues.
Yet Latham London, despite posting a revenue of £81.1m last year (making it the third-largest US firm in London), barely registers on the biggest London-originated deals. Latham would appear to still lack the critical mass to compete at the highest levels on a full-service basis, which would partly explain its low profile.
Moyle might not put it quite like that.
"Once you've built the foundations you do two things: keep building on the foundations and identify niches. This year we've increased our tax capability by bringing in Daniel [Friel] and Sean [Finn] from Lovells, plus Mark Nicolaides in securitisation, Graeme Sloan adding more depth on private equity and so on. Once you've built the core, going to that next stage is an interesting step."
The next stage will involve an assault on the recruitment market, particularly at the junior level. Latham is aiming to make its offices in New York and London, the world's two biggest financial centres, the hubs of its 22-office global practice, at least in terms of critical mass. New York has a head start, with around 330 lawyers to London's 140.
The firm's high rankings in associate satisfaction surveys will no doubt help with this strategy, as will the image it maintains of an inclusive, democratic outfit that values the input of its non-partners.
"There are steps we're taking to get further into the hearts and minds of the market," says Moyle, "such as the UK trainees' programme, which will result in us having between 10 and 15 trainees in the next two years. That to me is an extraordinary sign of the maturity of the London office and Latham as a brand."
Moyle, as down-to-earth an Australian as it is possible to find, knows that as soon as lawyers start talking about 'inclusive cultures' it is often time to pass the sickbag. Still, his argument is that the culture of Latham is driven by collegiality bears examination.
"It's difficult to separate the system from the culture; they end up being the same thing," says Moyle. He argues that Latham's low-key and decentralised approach is at the core of what makes Latham tick. For example, he is particularly irked by descriptions of Latham as an 'LA firm'.
"We're not an LA firm. There's none of this 'heading back to Wall Street' or 'head office being in LA', it's truly diversified on that basis," he says. "We're also not into a star culture here, so I don't want this piece to be about me. At Latham, modesty rules."
The point underlying this declaration boils down to money. There is only one profit pool and all the partners are remunerated and participate in the bonus on the same basis.
Critically, fee-earners are incentivised to share clients they have originated with as many lawyers as possible. And the lawyers they share the client with are incentivised to work for that client.
"This is why the devolution of power to associates, not having a head office and incentives to promote this culture through the remuneration system are important," says Moyle.
Latham's growth figures - 32 per cent more partners and 55 per cent more associates on 2005 - suggest that the culture is attractive. But the profile may be something that just has to wait.
It is a pity that most people outside the firm still do not have a clue what it does in London.

Member reactions:
Good show. If I were to offer a critique it would be to adjust the levels so the depth of the blacks (eyes etc.) match the blacks in the surrounding pic, (just above her elbow) This would help this become an even better merge.
The color seems too good on her face. If you look at the places that midian mentions, over her arm for instance, the color is a bit faded and uneven but her eyes and eye brows are very solid and crisp. I definately agree with Newsy, your texturing is awesome. Awesome job.
Thank you for the critiques. I appreciate them. Don't have time to change it now, but I do appreciate. The pic of Gwen was B/W, so I dropped the color on the painting then concentrated too much on recoloring that I missed the blacks. Texture... sandstone, then canvas, then and burlap on the entire thing.
i think it looks really authentic, very much like a real painting

Jet Aviation and Kollsman Explore Anti-SAM Systems
In separate efforts, Jet Aviation and Kollsman are the latest companies to explore possible anti-surface-to-air-missile (SAM) systems. Jet Aviation, a subsidiary of a Swiss-based company with U.S. headquarters in West Palm Beach, Fla., is reportedly in talks with possible system vendors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Meanwhile, Kollsman of Merrimack, N.H., is working with Elop Electro-Optic Industries to develop an anti-SAM system called Music–multi-spectral infrared countermeasure. Neither Jet Aviation nor Kollsman was ready to provide an estimated timetable or pricing. Currently, BAE Systems makes the only STC'd anti-SAM product, which is currently offered for Gulfstreams.

This lovely asymmetrical piece is a work of art by Denver artist, Christy Lea Payne (CLP). Christy's work graces the pages of Sundance Catalog on a regular basis, but Talulah Jones holds the honor of being the first store to carry her line when she started out over 10 years ago.
I love to find the special imperfections in the pieces I design which makes each piece unique. So few things in life are perfect. ~Christy Lea Payne
We continue to carry a large selection of Christy's work, but this beautiful apatite, brown hematite and pearl necklace is so special that we selected this piece among our entire jewelry collection to share with you at the launch of our new website!
So many of you have asked for an option to shop with us online. We want Talulah Online to be a unique experience, so we won't be doing traditional e-commerce. Rather, we will be sharing our most treasured finds with you here. We only have one of these necklaces, so if you love it, buy it now!
When you click the button, you'll be directed to PayPal. There you can check out with a PayPal account or credit card. To check out with a credit card, don't sign in – hit the link that says "Don't have a PayPal account?"
If you are in the store, consider designing your own necklace using CLP charms. Small sterling disks stamped with the initial of your choice are simple enough, but layered with gemstones and personal talismans, they become a work of art, unique to you! These make an excellent sentimental gift as well.

Police, firefighters and federal agents responded to the discovery of vials labeled "Anthrax" at a youth shelter in New Orleans. Fortunately it turned out to be a false alarm.
NOPD tells FOX 8 that someone found bottles labeled "anthrax" inside of a backpack at Covenant House on Rampart Street. Hazmat crews were called to the scene around 1:30 Friday afternoon, and local and federal authorities came out to investigate.
FOX 8 received this news release from Covenant House Friday afternoon:
"We're delighted to report that the vials found earlier this afternoon in a youth's backpack and labeled 'Anthrax' were NOT, in fact, Anthrax," stated Covenant House Executive Director Jim Kelly.
Instead, the vials were part of an old test kit for anthrax often used by farmers, industry, etc.
"Our youth and staff handled the situation remarkably well," Kelly said. "We are blessed by good kids – and dedicated professionals."
We're most grateful to police, fire, FBI, and New Orleans Homeland Security officials for their support and assistance during this scare.
"The angels and the SAINTS were watching over us, as always," Kelly said.
Covenant House cared for 140 at-risk, homeless, and runaway youth last night.

Melissa Mccarthy
The Academy Award nominations were announced Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, and some of Hollywood's A-listers are beaming with excitement! See what they had to say!
"Bridesmaids" funnyladies Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy dished with "Extra's" Mario Lopez about a sequel to their smash hit comedy, nominated for Best Comedy or Musical at the 2012 Golden Globes.
"It's such an urban legend," exclaimed McCarthy. "There's no talk of a 'Bridesmaids 2,' but if those girls decide to do it again, I'm in!"
Wiig, along with her writing partner Annie Mumolo, told Mario they were working on something else. "As of now, we are going in a different direction together."
Watch the red carpet interviews at the Globes!
This year saw a surge in successful female-driven comedies -- from the hilarious film "Bridesmaids" to the hit FOX show "New Girl" - and it's all due to the funny ladies who star in them, making them No. 3 on our Entertainer of the Year list.
Take a look at the wonderful women who made chick time fun in 2011!
"Extra" asked for your votes on your favorite entertainers of 2011 -- and the top five choices have been made!
"The Twilight Saga" cast, which ranked No. 2 on "Extra's" Entertainer of the Year list in 2010, comes in at No. 5.
Coming in at No. 4 on "Extra's" Entertainer of the Year list is the fabulous cast of the hilarious "Modern Family."
Take a look at the Women in Comedy for 2011, who made No. 3 on our list!
It makes sense that the enduring and magical "Harry Potter" franchise would rank No. 2 on our Entertainer of the Year list (last year the cast made No. 1!)
And our No. 1 Entertainer of the Year is Ryan Gosling -- duh!
"Extra" host Maria Menounos talks with Emmy winners Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jim Parsons, Margo Martindale and Melissa McCarthy!
"Extra" host Mario Lopez talked with Emmy winner Melissa McCarthy on the 2011 Emmys red carpet, where McCarthy said she's just dying to work with Tina Fey.
Watch the interview!
Women in Film announced Thursday that the 2011 Crystal + Lucy Awards Norma Zarky Humanitarian Award, presented by jewelry designer Pandora, will be posthumously given to Dame Elizabeth Taylor. It will be accepted by Naomi Wilding on behalf of her late grandmother.
Mikkel Berg, Executive Director of Marketing at Pandora, said in a statement, "We believe all women of the world are unique and precious. They live different lives in different cultures, and yet they are all fabulous in their own, individual ways. At Pandora we celebrate all these personalities and their unforgettable moments. All stories are worth sharing and honoring, and so is the story of the humanitarian work done by the late Elizabeth Taylor, which we are thrilled to be able to give tribute to, together with WIF."

15 Sweet & Salty New Year's Appetizers Make Your Mouth Say PARTY!
I don't know about you, but this year we're staying home for New Year's. After an early dinner at a neighborhood restaurant, we'll be heading back to our place, moving the furniture out of the way, and dancing the night away. This means we'll need fuel!
Time to dig out some of our favorite party appetizer recipes. I'm looking for quick, easy snacks -- but something a little more exciting than potato chips and onion dip. Something light that won't weigh us down. And maybe a few unexpected treats!
- Red Pepper Hummus With Toasted Pita Triangles. If you've never tried making hummus, it's pretty easy -- give it a whirl!
- Guacamole. Okay, it's "Super Bowl" guacamole, but this dip is a welcome guest all year 'round.
- Blue Cheese Bacon Dip. Balance out the richness by dipping with carrots and celery.
- Relish Tray. Here's how to do that tray of cut veggies all classy-like.
- Smoky Red Devil Eggs. A wicked take on the Southern classic.
- Cheese-Stuffed Mushrooms. From Paula Deen.
- Panko Crusted Spinach Dip. Panko are Japanese bread crumbs that deliver the ultimate crunch. But if you can't find them at your grocery, any breadcrumbs will do.
- Chevre Devils. For you adventurous eaters, dates stuffed with goat cheese and topped with a pecan.
- Greek Salad Skewers. Tomato, cucumber, and feta cheese on a stick. Recipe includes an anchovy dressing, but bottled Italian dressing will also work.
- Hasty Hots. Like garlic bread but with green onions.
- Bruschetta. If you've never had these, they're kind of like mini-pizza on slices of baguette.
- Dried Fruit Cheese Ball. A little sweet, a little tangy.
- Pyllo Cups With Brie, Preserves, and Pecans. Another little bite with pecans -- and a secret ingredient from Ikea!
- Bon Appetit Party Mix. Everything crunchy together in a bowl.
- Chocolate Chip Coconut Bars. Something sweet? These are a variation on those "magic bars" everyone loves.
Are you hosting this New Year's Eve? Just having a quiet little party with the family?

Wall Street Gets Swine Flu Vaccine Before Kids
This is outrageous!
Momlogic's Julie: When I heard that the major banks and Wall Street firms were given a private allocation of the swine flu vaccine when many kids (including mine) cannot get it, I was outraged!
How are bankers, brokers, and traders put before high-risk children who actually need the vaccine most?
My pediatrician is out of the swine flu vaccine and said he can't get it for weeks. That means my kids are currently unvaccinated. During 2009, at least 114 children have been killed by the swine flu. How many stockbrokers have died of swine flu this year? Not 114, I can assure you!
Why were they given priority?
It makes me sick that the very people who got us into this financial mess we're in now, the people we have BAILED OUT time and time again, are again getting preferential treatment.
The rich get richer ... and the rich get healthier, too.
I appreciate the commentary on this web site, it definitely gives it that community experience!

Today, author and blogger Joel Derfner tells us how he landed his most recent book deal, a complicated, but ultimately redemptive model for us all to follow...
Welcome to the conclusion of my interview with Joel Derfner, part of my deceptively simple feature: Five Easy Questions. In the spirit of Jack Nicholson's mad piano player, I run a serialized set of weekly interviews with writing pioneers—delivering some practical, unexpected advice about web publishing.
Jason Boog:
You recently sold a book of personal essays. Could you tell me how that book came about? Any advice for fledgling writers looking to publish a finished manuscript?
Joel Derfner:
I told an editor friend that I wanted to write another book and he said I should ask my Gay Haiku editor what he'd be interested in. So I did... My jacket bio for Gay Haiku read, "In an attempt to be the gayest person ever, he took up knitting and got a job as a step aerobics instructor." Andrew (my editor) said he and his boss thought a book of essays about trying to become the gayest person ever might be really fun.
He made it clear that he wasn't committing to making an offer and I made it clear that I wasn't committing to selling it to him, but we like and respect each other so we both hoped it would work out.
I wrote the proposal over the course of four or five months, using a friend's (already sold) proposal as a model. My friend's proposal had two full chapters, so I figured I needed to write two of the essays. I thought, well, okay, sex sells, so one of the essays I'll write for the proposal will be about sex. And then I wrote an essay about knitting, to show range, since knitting was about as far away from sex as you could get.
In the meantime, I had decided to switch agents, so once I had a draft of the proposal I sent it around to a few people, and one of them absolutely loved it, which of course made me like her the best.
I did some rewriting based on her suggestions and she sent the proposal to Random House (in the Gay Haiku contract there was a clause saying they had the right of first refusal on my next book). They made an offer and we negotiated, but in the end we couldn't agree and so we took the book to market.
After talking to a bunch of other editors, though, I realized that I felt best about Andrew and Random House, so we went back to them, and together we came up with an offer that made everybody happy.

Lotus and Jesse's Modern Condo for Four
House Tour
Name: Lotus Abrams, Jesse Waters, Zoe & Charlotte
Location: Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York
Size: 1,081 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years; Owned
I've known Lotus and Jesse for more than 10 years, and in that time they've moved from their downtown Manhattan rental to this spacious (in NYC terms) condo in Williamsburg. The features that sold them: coveted light from floor-to-ceiling windows and a rooftop space with an amazing view of Manhattan.
Two kids later, they have started to grow out of the two-bedroom space but have been slow to make the inevitable move to the suburbs. They love the neighborhood, which inspires many of their design choices.
I admire Lotus and Jesse's approach to design. They're thoughtful about their choices, making quality purchases rather than quantity ones. They've filled the space slowly, being selective about each piece, which has allowed them to keep it clean and minimal, even with two kids under the age of three.
Every time I meet up with these two (on my visits to New York or their visits to San Francisco, where they both first met), they'll bring up a lamp or fabric swatch that they're considering and they'll ask for my opinion. I enjoy hearing about their latest finds and shops they've discovered — here and in New York. It's definitely a passion they both share. Check our their place, and please thank them for inviting us into their home!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: We like simple, clean, modern design, and furniture that's also functional and comfortable.
Inspiration: Living in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, we're surrounded by amazing restaurants, bars and shops that have inspired our style, but we also look to magazines like Dwell and design stores in Manhattan for ideas.
Favorite Element: When we first saw our apartment, we were immediately drawn to the lofted ceilings in the living room and floor-to-ceiling windows, which let in tons of light and frame views of the trees out front and the vibrant community. Our daughter Zoe, who is two years old, is fascinated by what she sees out that window — dog walkers, snow and rain, fire trucks.
Biggest Challenge: The most challenging thing about having large windows was selecting window coverings that matched the modern feeling of the apartment but were also functional, so we chose solar shades for the living area that cut down on the glare without sacrificing the view or the open feeling of the space and blackout shades in the back bedrooms that offer privacy and an ideal sleeping environment.
What Friends Say: Friends who have visited our apartment often say it would be a great place for a photo shoot because of the abundant natural light, and are impressed by the elevator that enters directly into the apartment, and the rooftop cabana with a Manhattan skyline. They also like the open living area that's so different from many of the older New York City apartments.
Biggest Embarrassment: Having two kids in a two-bedroom apartment means that toys are everywhere! It's a constant battle trying to keep the space looking clutter-free.
Proudest DIY: To display all of the kids' art projects in their bedroom, we hung fishing twine and attached the art using clothespins so we could easily rotate in new pieces on a regular basis.
Biggest Indulgence: Our Flos Skygarden pendant lamp by Marcel Wanders was a splurge, but we love the combination of modern and vintage design elements, as well as the way it intimately illuminates the dining table.
Best Advice: When you move into a new place, don't rush to buy all the furniture and art at once. Live in the space for a while and acquire pieces as you go that suit your lifestyle and needs.

Wow. LOVE this home.
I'm sure my comment is going to upset some and this is not a reflection on the space itself, which seems lovely, but on the photos. There are too many close ups. I don't need to see a close up of a framed photo, children's blocks or a lamp; especially when there is no photo showing what's going on behind that brown couch. It's hard to get a sense of the whole space when there seems to be a lot we're not seeing.
Beautiful home! Love the windows, art work, and serene bedrooms.
I agree with pb. I can't tell at all what the flow of the space is. Really do not need a closeup of alphabet magnets on the dishwasher either.
I also think they have very good taste and thank them for the invite into their home. The only design question I have is why hang the pair of prints in the living room SOOO high? They take away from the human scale of the room.
... but those are Faile blocks. They deserve a close up. Nice space ... too bad you plan on moving to the suburbs. I want to see more families living well in small spaces.
Love the view and the outdoor space.
Where does the other kid sleep? Co-sleeping?
I love this space, one of favorites of all time!
I would've liked to see more of the patio area. The kids' room was amazing!
She is a future abstract artist.
Dynamite wouldnt blast me out of there.Those windows would make any sacrifice worth it.
Wonderful place with great style! Beautiful light.
As to the close up photos.....why,why,why? Curious,does the photographer decide which photos to include in the AT tour? You would assume that who ever makes the final decision on the photos would have reviewed past tours and their accompanying comment sections to learn what makes a great tour. There are consistent complaints about how the close up photos lend nothing to understanding or appreciating the space...and isn't that the goal here?
It is not the quality of the photos that is the issue. The quality is very professional.
Oh sure, it's a great space with amazing views, etc., but it's ZOE who is the star of this tour! She's adorable!!
Nice place.
I agree with pb about the photography; I'd like to see more images of the deck, for example, as opposed to just the view - which is breath-taking! - and a close view of lounger (?) pillows. Additionally, AT should think about including floor plans whenever possible, perhaps by having someone or asking their clients to provide a quick sketch of the layout, if/when photography can't capture it. It's useful to be able to really SEE how a space is laid out.
I love their style, and I'm so glad that you've provided us with the closeups, which anyone would have otherwise missed out on. The lamp has such intricate patterns that it would've been a crime not to show it! Though I would like to see more photos to get a clear picture of the whole house. Great tour!
It's gorgeous, looks like it would be a joy to live in. Maybe the kids share a room with two cots?
I'm with you,John. It would be had to dislodge me from such a marvellous space. When I lived in Philadelphia my apt had massive factory windows with incredible views. I still miss that place.... Kudos to this family for a charming space.
I'm with you,John. It would be had to dislodge me from such a marvellous space. When I lived in Philadelphia my apt had massive factory windows with incredible views. I still miss that place.... Kudos to this family for a charming space.
Lovely space, excellent view, nicely done. Good call on the Marcel Wanders, and what beautiful children!
how serene. get out, i'm moving in.
Lovely space. I will iterate what others have said: more pictures of the rooms and fewer close ups. Also, my eternal request for floor plans.
That being said, your children are adorable.
Very nice.
As another family of four in a two-bedroom home, I love seeing how others make it work.
Oh, please, more families of 4 in 2 bedrooms!
So many questions: is there an office/computer space? How is the daughters' room arranged? How do they manage toy storage?
I would love, seriously LOVE to see this space in its usual toy-strewn manner. I know there is a potty seat somewhere in that gorgeous bathroom.
Great that you let yourselves go on the lighting. The Flos Skygarden is a brilliant piece of design. Also awesome view you have. All the best!

Holly Bynoe
These digital collages made by artist Holly Bynoe are inspirated by her fascination of two or more things interrupting each other. She started making collages when she felt that photography was a very limited tool because of its representational association. "I graze for long periods of time and ruminate over the possibilities of images — their use, function, criticality, and absurdity. I think about images and how their purposes in my life seem to change every day." (source)

All I'm trying to do is take a nice nap and everyone keeps entering my room. This shit wouldn't happen at my girlfriend's house

I want a cute girl to cuddle with and give soft kisses to right now. Is that so hard to ask?
When I see cute couples and hot sex on my dash, I just want to light myself on fire and cry.
I wasn't meant to love anyone, at least not now.
Let's move the fuck on.
Why is it that when it comes to liking a certain person, I always get hurt in the end? Like, no matter what I am always crushed, heart torn, shattered to pieces. Even if that person is in a relationship and I KNOW what to expect and I KNOW that I am gonna get hurt in the end but I still get badly hurt.
Why me of all people? Am I not a good enough person? I sometimes think I deserve all this pain for some reason. That I'm always alone. That I'm so fucked up in the head. Somewhere along the lines, I deserved all of this.
I just don't belong anywhere. No one ever wants me. I am never any ones choice.
I'm gonna be alone forever. It's a given. Times like these, I just wanna give up living.
Please don't look for me. Please don't be concern for me because lets face it, no one really cares about me. I'm just a stranger on the internet.
birthday sex, birthday sex
not getting any birthday sex
I'd fuck you all night long until the neighbors call the cops on us because your screams from orgasm was too loud

It's been a long while since I laughed that hard
and it was my own mother that is responsible.
I need to get some friends.
