Fundamentally , if you want free Indian porn you've got to go with what it's easy to get on Tube sites or what it is easy to get from free trials. You may thing that free trials are not truly worthwhile, nonetheless it may very well be that you have not found the right Indian porn on the web. There are heaps of Indian porn sites out there, you only need to understand the best ones to get the free content. Have a look at the one I have interlinked to in this blog post and you will find that the free tour is pretty damn good, and it's nothing like what you'd get on a tube site. Indian porn is growing quickly in appreciation and it's only a question of time before the world unexpectedly realizes just how well-liked this shit truly is. You better act swiftly if you'd like the quality free Indian porn tours, with videos and footage and so on. It will not be around for keeps.
I have been on this Indian porn site and I should make it plain that the tour alone is sufficient to get even the most fastidious Indian porn fan going.
Get yourself over there and try it. This blog is devoted to finding you the absolute best in Indian porn. If you are unable to find it here then there is hardly any point in looking any farther.

Jacqueline's Historied Home on the Thames
House Tour
Name: Jacqueline (pictured with daughter Pereen)
Location: Mortlake, London, United Kingdom
Size: 2,500 square feet
Years lived in: 29 years; owned
I was tipped off to Jacqueline's beautiful riverside home by a mutual friend of her daughter (and architect, but we'll get to that) Pereen. I'd been told of the lovely location and relaxed ambiance of the home, as well as the marvelous art collection within, but nothing quite prepared me for the many layers of history and design which I discovered here.
On arrival I was greeted by both Jacqueline, who has called the space home for nearly 30 years, and Pereen, who grew up here. After making me a cup of tea, the two women sat me down and proceeded to amaze me with their combined knowledge of, and passion for, this multi-layered and historic building.
The site, in a quiet area of west London, was once the home of English mathematician, astronomer and consultant to Elizabeth I John Dee's famous library. Jacqueline told me she occasionally sees history buffs on the street outside, taking photos of the house. However, since the 1600's the site has been home to a free house (a privately-owned pub) and the current building was erected in 1885. In the 1970's it was converted (somewhat badly, to hear Jacqueline tell it) into three flats, which were only sporadically lived in.
It was in a derelict state that Jacqueline and her ex-husband purchased the property in the early 1980's, with the dream of combining the flats into one family home. Several phases of renovations followed, including the construction of a modern brick-and-timber home, called "The Big House", in the front courtyard, which now hides the original property from the street. The Big House, which is quite a well-known piece of modern architecture in this part of London, was sold after development, allowing Jacqueline and her family to keep adapting the original property to suit their needs.
Last year, it was Pereen's turn to leave her mark on her childhood home. With plans to retire and no need for countless extra rooms, Jacqueline wanted to contain her living areas to one floor, and sell off the rest of the property. To this end, Pereen created a modern, sleek penthouse apartment from the second floor, which has recently been sold. If that wasn't ambitious enough, Pereen also designed two indoor/outdoor spaces, one for each apartment in the building. The Pavilion, as it's referred to, is a glass-fronted, rooftop room which affords stunning views over the Thames, all the way to London's East end.
When asked whether it was difficult to work for her mother, Pereen laughs. "Not really — I know her style so well, but we almost had to approach it as though I didn't". This meant regular weekly meetings and approvals, just as with any other client. More intimidating for Pereen was the responsibility of working on such a visible and historic site. "I can see the building when I get off the bus nearby, and it's clearly visible from the river and the opposite bank, as well." This prominent location, as well as the site's role as a place of historic note and modern architecture, meant that each decision had to be carefully considered.
Phase Two of Pereen's plan is set to begin next month, which will see the original sweeping wooden staircase replaced with a modern glass elevator and light shaft, so Jacqueline can access her rooftop room with ease. The mother-daughter duo has also received planning permission to add two Juliet balconies to the living room and master bedroom, a nod to the original timber porch which once swept around the entire building at that level.
Photographing this home, I was struck by how the many faces of the building echo those of London itself; historic, modern, and ever-evolving.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Not "overly designed", but with many wonderful details. A fairly loud colour palette.
Pereen: Minimal use of materials, clean lines, shifting boundaries and wrapping facades.
Inspiration: Artists, particularly Mondrian and Ben Nicholson.
Pereen: For the pavilion, the existing building itself, and the river.
Favorite Element: Spacious rooms, high ceilings.
Pereen: The brick floor in the pavilion.
Biggest Challenge: Keeping within budget. Desire vs. Practicality.
Pereen: The brick floor in the pavilion! Each brick was individually glued in place and careful detailing took place to enable a level threshold whilst maintaining damproofing. There was very little depth to play with.
Biggest Embarrassment: Nothing at all.
Biggest Indulgence: Definitely the art collection — it's wonderful to have pieces from a range of artists I admire.
Best Advice: Don't rush. Think about it all — everything takes a lot of energy, both mental and physical, so spend it well. Creating a home is also
costly financially and if thought through, things will last a long time… even more reason not to rush.
Dream Sources: London is my dream source, a city of constant inspiration.

The living room (with the low armchairs) is to die for - the windows are so beautiful.
I am happy you included the view from the upstairs balcony.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful house with us.
What a very unique and interesting space. I agree that a floor plan would have made this a better experience and, unless I missed it somewhere, a shot of the outside of the building and surrounding grounds. Its lovely though, great work!
Lovely place! You can tell she is living by her own advice not to rush things.
I have serious windows-and-ceiling-envy right now....
An absolutely charming and delightful home. I had a little bit of trouble matching up the images with the write-up, as the description said that the owner has chosen to live on just one floor and there are three staircases on show. Are some of the images from the second floor penthouse?
Also, are those really shelves full of heavenly Suzy Cooper pottery? Is some of it Clarice Cliff.
This house is just gorgeous, and I love the Art Deco on the shelves, Susie Cooper, its so beautiful,
The design is so spacious and warm.
Oh, to have an architect in the family!
Thank you for featuring ApT! I used to row pass this property x2 a day, so nice to see the Thames and this beautiful house :-)
I would love to know the sources for the fabric in the living room drapes and the upholstery on the low chairs. The rug is wonderful, too.
I agree... the text and images don't quite match up; one wants to understand the whole picture better... the house is worth more of a feature, perhaps, than the AT format allows?
Spectacular home!
I love the windows, the view, the furniture, and the elephants!
There is nothing in this space that I don't absolutely love. Together - this place is a dream. Thanks for sharing.
This might be my favourite house tour on ApT to date. Love the use of colour, love the living room windows and all that light. The chairs in the living room with all those cushions are perfect for a long read. I was almost completely in love with the place when the upstairs pavilion was revealed. Fabulous.
Hi everyone, thanks for the nice comments! I was wondering if someone would mention the stairs/layout, which is a little difficult to understand. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a floor plan, so I can understand the confusion ;)
The living areas pictured are all on one floor, and stairs lead you PAST the new apartment on the upper floors, to the pavilion on the roof. So essentially this home sandwiches another one. Hence the need for a new elevator!
As for the outside, like I mentioned in the article the house is actually hidden from the street by a newer (but lovely) property- but if you go to Pereen's website you can see a great photo of it from the other side of the Thames.
So much light that I completely forgot this home was in London! You two have created an amazing space, well done. Visited Pereen's site and the images of the penthouse are just as lovely . Jacqueline have you considered swapping out your flooring for something similar ( but perhaps lighter for your space) to the flooring in the penthouse?
Lovely home! Love the high ceilings and big windows. Lots of space and light and a nice eclectic mix of what I would call 'modern organic' furniture. By the way I noticed Ethnicraft's lovely teak nightstand in the bedroom which, for UK readers, is also available from us here at 4Living.co.uk
My heart!!!
Love the colors and textures and all that amazing light.
Your Kitchen is gorgeous! .. Warm, cozy yet clean and timeless... I love your eclection of plates!
If it's no trouble, would you happen to remember the paint color in your kitchen? I am looking for the perfect white : )
This house is wonderful! I just know that if ever a chance to visit came up (lol), a person would feel right at home. That's the feeling that comes from viewing the tour at least.
I especially love the kitchen with the big platters and useful items left out.
Thanks for sharing!
Love it! Great color, texture, airy feel and love that pottery collection too!
What a beautiful space! The interior design is so perfectly, well, perfect! This is one of those magic interiors that can only be achieved after 30 years of mixing beautiful items from various eras and sources.
I admire Jacqueline's ability to create a comfortable and casual home that still carries a beauty, an elegence.
These are two lucky (and very talented) ladies!
Hello, thank you so much for the kind comments.
Just wanted to follow up on some of the comments really, in the main by @LGS, @FOOL4JAZZ, @ANANHAS and @10BARETOES
There is a wide variety of pottery, some is Suzy Cooper, some Clarice Cliff and some unbranded. Jacqueline has collected ceramics as long as I can remember.
The living room fabrics and chair upholstery were from a small fabric shop in East Sheen, as far as I know. I can get an exact address if you are interested. Please email me. The rug is from Conran.
I have been trying my hardest to get a timber floor in the house, albeit a paler on than in the penthouse, but Jacqueline i a carpet lover... so it's not going to happen!
The paint in the kitchen is a Dulux colour, but I do not have the exact reference I'm afraid.
Thanks again for all the kind words.
Much appreciated.

Teen Mom Chelsea Houska seems to have her head on pretty straight. The single mother of Aubrey may have some baby daddy drama, but when it comes to finances and her future, Chels doesn't mess around. According to OK! Magazine, the reality star has saved up some money over the years, and it might be enough to realize her dream of opening a salon one day. We recently learned that Teen Mom Farrah Abraham has a net worth of $1.75 million (thanks, porn industry!), so just how much is Chelsea worth?
She reportedly makes $75,000 a season for Teen Mom 2, plus bonuses from the network; she has some income from her job at a tanning salon and her role hosting Scentsy parties; she gets child support from her ex Adam Lind; and her dad helps foot some bills, too.
Add that all up then subtract her Black Hills Beauty College tuition and her rent, and OK!'s come to the conclusion that she has a net worth of about $40,000.
While I'm confused as to how someone who made around $320,000 on four seasons of Teen Mom 2 only has $40K in the bank, it's still not too shabby for a woman in her early 20s with a toddler.
And the expenses she has are totally worth it. Education, housing, and raising a child are worth every penny -- it's not like Chelsea's blowing her dough on plastic surgery, or on mansions she can't afford, or on hard-core illegal drugs.
Chelsea may or may not be envious of Farrah's enormous bank account, but I'm sure Chelsea's self-respect is worth way more than $1 million.
Plus, 40,000 bones in the bank ain't nothing to sneeze at. And the best part is, if she keeps saving and invests correctly, that 40 can soon turn into 80, 160, 320 ...
What do you think of Chelsea's net worth?
Photo via chelseahouska/Instagram
That she only has $40k in the bank after grossing that much money tells me that she still has some growing up to do and learning about wants vs. needs. And if she is making bank like that on Teen Mom, then her dad shouldn't really be paying anything at this point. Her $75k per season is what my hubby and I gross together per year... we live below our means and have a nice chunk of cash in the bank - it is worth it while the money is coming in to position your self to be as financially stable as possible (determination and sacrifce are necessary for this). If only everyone could be so fortunate.
Some of the money she made from Teen Mom automatically goes in an account for Aubrey when she is older. So while Chelsea might only have $40,000 in the bank, Aubry probably has a lot more.

San Diego, CAUSA
Hometown: San Diego
June 30, 2011
I visit the Big Island every year, and have been fortunate to be invited to sing with several wonderful ukulele groups there. On my last trip, I performed with the Puna Ukulele Association for six hours at the Maku'u Market and I was the only one on the bandstand without an instrument. Upon my return to San Diego I bought my first ukulele, and vowed to learn it before my next trip.
Yes, I just bought a tenor uke, and am learning to play it.
I like pretty much all music, especially the Blues and the classic 20s and 30s ballads.
Used to play the guitar and piano.
A chance to lift my voice in song, to harmonize with other singers, and learn to play my uke well enough to accompany myself and play along with a group.
I am Cheryl. I was a folk singer/guitar player in the 60's. I live in South Park, San Diego, and hope to move to the Big Island in August of 2012.
Last night was my first meeting and it was TOO MUCH FUN!!! I will be back again and again.
Hi Cheryl,
No worries, it's fine to come late. I have at least a couple arriving early, but people in general come later anyway, some because of work. I highly doubt the party will end early, but you can call ahead if you want to check (I'll send out my number).
the meet up is at the old town living room across from the church in old town
Thats fine if you want to...
Hi Cheryl, welcome to the group!
Hi Cheryl, welcome to the EFT meetup. We are still meeting and I will be posting our upcoming events shortly. We will be meeting for 3 consecutive months with a break in October. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Blessings, Merry

Quoted from NYTimes.com:
Several of the largest firms have adopted business strategies that Dewey embraced: unfettered growth, often through mergers; the aggressive poaching of lawyers from rivals by offering outsize pay packages; and a widening spread between the salaries of the firm's top partners and its most junior ones.
These trends, they say, have destroyed the fabric of a law firm partnership, where a shared sense of purpose once created willingness to weather difficult times. Many large firms have discarded the traditional notions of partnership — loyalty, collegiality, a sense of equality — and instead transformed themselves into bottom-line, profit-maximizing businesses.
"Because the partnership lacks any shared cultural values or history, money becomes the core value holding the firm together," said William Henderson, a law professor at Indiana University who studies law firms. "Money is weak glue."

I love teaching public speaking. I love it when students come into the classroom with different challenges and we get to work on them one by one and yet learn from each other. The best thing about being a teacher is leaving a class and having the feeling that I've actually been able to help someone today because of my own past experiences with public speaking. Hopefully, that makes us both better people and speakers, for tomorrow.
Everyone focuses on the fear around public speaking. I try to focus on the fun. We can be afraid of lots of things in life: relationships, finances, risk, change. But if we approach these things from a curious, rather than a trepidatious standpoint, we open some room for new experiences and then perhaps, for some success. For instance, on first date, if we go into it expecting Jeremy to complement us, ask us about our careers and pay for our dinner, and he doesn't do any of those things, we might consider this a "failure" and complain about this to our friends. Or, we can consider what we learned from the situation. What did we complement Jeremy on? What did we learn about his career? Why did we expect him to pay? Maybe Jeremy is broke, afterall. (Or a third wave feminist trying to honor you?) Prolly not, but maybe!
The challenge we're dealing with here is expectation. Expectation is a killer in public speaking. When we expect things to go a certain way and they don't, we get disappointed and thrown off our game. The laptop runs out of juice, people stare at you weird, your boss shows up unexpectedly, no one asks questions at the Q&A portion, you sweat, you shake, you suddenly remember when Jennifer Hurnblad said in 7th grade that it looked like you peed your pants in front of everyone and you almost died of humiliation. Why did you just think of that right now? What are you supposed to be doing? Oh my god, you are talking about the budget right now and while you were thinking about Jennifer Hurnblad and have no idea what you been talking about for the last…10 minutes??!!
In Improv Your Public Speaking we focus on staying in the moment, connecting with your audience, remaining present and having fun. We bring back up handouts to prepare for faulty laptops, we practice thinking quickly on our feet so that we can go off script and then get quickly back on to stay on track, we work on what to do whether you have a raucous crowd or quiet audience, and finally, we figure out how to all of this while having FUN.
If you struggle with any public speaking challenges, take the class!! See you at the PIT!!
TAREN STERRY is a writer and performer in NYC. Her current play, 180 Days, is in its fourth extended sold out run at Stage Left Studio. Taren performed improv at the PIT for three years with Fancy Dragon and Tomahawk!

Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem.
The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have."—Steve Jobs, Wired, February, 1995 (via robliphotography)

oh yeaaaaah. thank you poupak and cos.

Consequences are the inevitable result of actions taken without thought, or the right and appropriate thought, or the desire to act without having to bother with thought, or, of thought which betrayed us. Consequences are the sound music makes when we're not playing the instrument, in our mind where a poor imitation of sound plays itself out, unspirited, empty of delirium, no love lost or gained. Consequences are most often thought of as outcomes, either at the heart of the matter, or at the start of the matter, or on its fringes, rarely related to the force which oozed them out, which found them in the still unquiet air, as though waiting for the right stimulus to stimulate them, they are objects where no objects lived before, reactions where none are allotted the space to become what they are, a continuity of expression in an expressionless haze, which are the bumps and bottoms of a life unfused. Consequences are simply more of the same, dressed however they choose, in blacks and browns or in garish red and orange, no matter, consequences are consequences and at the end of it, where it has no perceivable end, they are simply more of the mush called our lives.

I was onstage, in the moment, facing an invisible tiger, when I realized the words "yes, and…" can change the way a person does business.
I ended up at the Peoples Improv Theater in my ongoing search for better ways to serve clients and motivate staff. I run Medallion Retail; we develop shopper experiences and environments for big retail brands. We're all about creating a positive experience. Turns out, so is improv theater.
Our workshop at PIT was inspiring, invigorating and insanely fun. It was a safe space where non-actors like me got to play, mug and feel the thrill of really thinking on your feet. Being in the moment – and outside of your own head — is empowering.
Through scenes, games and exercises (Crazy 8s was a favorite!), I learned that the cornerstone of good improv is an affirmative attitude. Openness, flexibility and a willingness to extend yourself result in a good performance – on a stage or in a client meeting.
Good improv, and good business, require
· Commitment
o Truly believe in what you're saying and who you're saying it to.
· Collaboration
o Share your vision and trust your team. Trust leads to empowerment, which leads to surprising and delightful performances.
· Energy
o Exude positive vibes. Your audience – paying client or patron – can feel and feed on your excitement and passion.
I use my newfound improv skills everyday in my business to animate idea sessions, motivate staff and wow clients. Would I take another workshop at PIT?

Hiro MashimaTalk24

—Hiro Mashima, when interviewed during San Diego Comic-Con[1]
Hiro Mashima (真島ヒロ Mashima Hiro) was born on May 3, 1977 and is a Japanese manga artist recognized for his fantasy mangas Rave Master and Fairy Tail.
Hiro Mashima was a notable guest at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con.
Early LifeEdit
Hiro Mashima grew up in the Nagano prefecture of Japan. When he was young, he dreamed of becoming an artist, particularly one who dealt with manga. His passion for drawing encouraged his grandfather to search for discarded manga for him to read and trace pictures with.
Two manga series in particular were the main inspiration for him to become a professional manga artist: Dragon Ball, a well known manga produced by Akira Toriyama, and Ultimate Muscle, which is created by Yudetamago. Hiro Mashima especially enjoyed parts featuring the main characters getting into trouble, but somehow always managing to win in the end. He also liked the fierceness depicted in battle scenes and this later encouraged him to incorporate his own style of fierceness into his works.
After high school, he decided to further pursue his dream career of becoming a manga artist, so he attended an art school, because he believed that going to school would help him in learning how to improve his manga drawing ability. However, he ended up detesting the approach and taught himself.
Manga CareerEdit
Early YearEdit
Around the year 1998, Hiro Mashima had created a 60 page original work called Magician that he took to editors to review. Soon afterward, it won him the amateur manga artists' competition.[2][3] After a year, he made an official debut in 1999 with Rave Master.
Rave Master (1999-2005)Edit
Also known as "RAVE", the series debuted in 32nd issue of Xmas Hearts and Fairy Tale, a sort of prototype for his latest work.
Fairy Tail (2006-Current)Edit
Main article: Fairy Tail (Series)
During the production of Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima had also published the manga Monster Soul in 2006, Monster Hunter Orage in 2008, and the one-shot manga Nishikaze to Taiyou in 2010.
- Groove Adventure Rave (published as Rave Master in America) (1999-2005)
- Plue's Dog Diaries (2002-2007)
- Mashima-En Vol 1 & 2 (2003)
- Monster Soul (2006-2007)
- Fairy Tail (2006-ongoing)
- Monster Hunter Orage (2008-2009)
- Sangokushi Taisen card illustration
- Respect Gundam contribution
- Nishikaze to Taiyou (One Shot 02/2010)
Hiro Mashima's drawing speed and production of manga is actually quite well known among those within the manga community. A typical workload for a Weekly Shonen Magazine manga artist (him included) may be about 20 pages of completed draft, 20 pages of rough drafts, and maybe a colored page. However, this was also the point in time when he was producing a monthly manga called Monster Soul, for which he had illustrated 43 pages of completed drafts, 69 pages of rough drafts, and 4 full-colored pages in a single week.[4] His record is 65 completed pages (3 of which were colored) within one week.
Current AssistantsEdit
- Sho Nakamura
- Bobby Osawa
- Kobayashi Kina
- Kain
Former AssistantsEdit
- Miki Yoshikawa (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo)
- Shin Mikuni (Spray King)
- Ueda Yui
- Hiro Mashima's main characters are named after the four seasons:
- Magazine Serializations
- Rave (Haru = Spring)
- Fairy Tail (Natsu = Summer)
- Monster Soul (Aki = Autumn)
- Monster Hunter Orage (Shiki = Four Seasons)
- Oneshot (Mashima-En, volume 2)
- Fighting Group Mixture (MaFuyu = Mid-Winter)
- Magazine Serializations
- Hiro Mashima has never served as an artist's assistant.[5]
- When asked about Gray's habit of stripping, during his visit to San Diego's Comic Con, Hiro said that he used to be like that.[6]
- Originally, Hiro Mashima planned to finish Fairy Tail around the 10th volume. That, however, changed from both the fans, and he wished to draw even more of Fairy Tail.
- Mashima's assistants often refer to him as Superman for the following reasons:
- Even after the assistants had finished working around midnight, he still continued to work on the manga.[7]
- His level of focus and the sudden transition from video games back to working is second to none.[7]
- The first thing he does when he wakes up is grab his tools and begin the day's work on the manga.[7]
- Despite his busy schedule, he still gets at least seven hours of sleep per day. For some reason, most other manga artists envied him in this.[8]
- Switched from traditional coloring to digital coloring in 2005.[9]

Palestinian killed in Gaza Strip clashes
One Palestinian was killed and one more other kidnapped on Thursday morning by the Hamas-linked "Executive-Force" in Gaza, official sources said. According to WAFA, security sources reported that Samir Hillis, 46, was killed by the Executive Force during clashes in Shijaieya Neighborhood, east of Gaza. On Wednesday, Hamas fire killed one Fateh member in Beit Lahia town, north of Gaza Strip.
In the meantime, Hamas militia kidnapped a member of Fateh in the northern Gaza Strip city of Beit Hanoun. Eyewitnesses said that Hamas militia kidnapped Ibrahim Athamneh and led him to undisclosed place.
Security sources said that protestors against Hamas practices set fire to two jeeps which are belonging to the Hamas-linked force.
The Executive Force was established by the ex-minister of interior Saeed Siyam.

The Wnt signaling pathway plays critical roles in embryonic development and tumorigenesis. Stimulation of the Wnt pathway results in the accumulation of a nuclear beta-catenin/Tcf complex, activating Wnt target genes. A crystal structure of beta-catenin bound to the beta-catenin binding domain of Tcf3 (Tcf3-CBD) has been determined. The Tcf3-CBD forms an elongated structure with three binding modules that runs antiparallel to beta-catenin along the positively charged groove formed by the armadillo repeats. Structure-based mutagenesis defines three sites in beta-catenin that are critical for binding the Tcf3-CBD and are differentially involved in binding APC, cadherin, and Axin. The structural and mutagenesis data reveal a potential target for molecular drug design studies.
Crystal structure of a beta-catenin/Tcf complex., Graham TA, Weaver C, Mao F, Kimelman D, Xu W, Cell. 2000 Dec 8;103(6):885-96. PMID:11136974

[CTNB1_HUMAN] Defects in CTNNB1 are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:114500]. Note=Activating mutations in CTNNB1 have oncogenic activity resulting in tumor development. Somatic mutations are found in various tumor types, including colon cancers, ovarian and prostate carcinomas, hepatoblastoma (HB), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HBs are malignant embryonal tumors mainly affecting young children in the first three years of life. Defects in CTNNB1 are a cause of pilomatrixoma (PTR) [MIM:132600]; a common benign skin tumor.[1][2][3] Defects in CTNNB1 are a cause of medulloblastoma (MDB) [MIM:155255]. MDB is a malignant, invasive embryonal tumor of the cerebellum with a preferential manifestation in children.[4][5] Defects in CTNNB1 are a cause of susceptibility to ovarian cancer (OC) [MIM:167000]. Ovarian cancer common malignancy originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian neoplasms have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving CTNNB1 is found in salivary gland pleiomorphic adenomas, the most common benign epithelial tumors of the salivary gland. Translocation t(3;8)(p21;q12) with PLAG1. Defects in CTNNB1 may be a cause of mesothelioma malignant (MESOM) [MIM:156240]. An aggressive neoplasm of the serosal lining of the chest. It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos.[6]
[CTNB1_HUMAN] Key downstream component of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. In the absence of Wnt, forms a complex with AXIN1, AXIN2, APC, CSNK1A1 and GSK3B that promotes phosphorylation on N-terminal Ser and Thr residues and ubiquitination of CTNNB1 via BTRC and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome. In the presence of Wnt ligand, CTNNB1 is not ubiquitinated and accumulates in the nucleus, where it acts as a coactivator for transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family, leading to activate Wnt responsive genes. Involved in the regulation of cell adhesion. Acts as a negative regulator of centrosome cohesion. Involved in the CDK2/PTPN6/CTNNB1/CEACAM1 pathway of insulin internalization. Blocks anoikis of malignant kidney and intestinal epithelial cells and promotes their anchorage-independent growth by down-regulating DAPK2.[7][8][9][10] [T7L1A_XENLA] Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway. Binds to DNA and acts as a repressor in the absence of ctnnb1-A and possibly ctnnb1-B, and as an activator in the presence of these proteins. Required early in development for the establishment of the dorsal body axis in response to maternal Wnt signaling. Also required during development of the CNS for the establishment of dorsal-ventral patterning in the prospective diencephalon.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]

Categories > Cartoons > Delilah and Julius > Hello
Party!2 Reviews
It's Delilah and Julius 1st anniversary party!
Delilah's point of view:
Todays the day, I told myself. I couldn't stop smiling. I was acting as if I won the lottery. Nothing could ruin this day. I picked out a nice, long black dress. I spent at least an hour on my hair, deciding to put it up a little and curl it. I put on a little make-up, but made sure I didn't over do it.
When I walked out of the bed room, Julius greeted me. He was wearing a nice tux, and his hair wasn't his usual messy style. It was neatly combed.
"Looking good. You're so beautiful."
"Thanks." I said, blushing.
Julius offered me his hand, and I put my hand into his. Julius drove us to a nice, big hall, where everyone at the academy clapped. Julius and me smiled. Ursula was being her snobby self, and pouted. Emmet and Nosey smiled, and congrats us, while Al and Scarlett came up to us and told us how happy they were for us.
It was a nice party. The music started to play one of my favorite songs. I jumped excitely. "JULIUS! My favorite song! Wanna dance?"
"Delilah, you know I can't dance." said Julius, looking down.
"Come on, I'll help you." I told him.
"I rather not..." replied Julius, but I cut him off.
I grabbed his hand, and dragged him on the dance floor. Julius wasn't kidding when he said he couldn't dance. I had to teach him some moves, and Julius kept on messing up, and tripping over his feet. I laughed, and so did Julius.
It was then time for supper. It was a big banquet, and so very good. After supper and dessert (which was HEAVEN), Julius stood up, tapped his glass with his spoon.
"I would like to make a speech." Julius said.
Everyone went silient to listen to what Julius had to say.
"Delilahs been my partner for almost four years now at the academy. I always had feelings for her, but always thought I was never good enough for her. It was actually quite funny, for Delilah was the one who had to ask me out."
Everyone laughed at this, including me.
"I concider myself more than lucky to have Delilah. Delilah, I have a little something for you."
Julius took my hand, and made me stood up. He took something out of my pocket. It was a very pretty, silver ring.He put it on my finger.
"It's a promise ring," Julius explained. "It's a promise to my love for you, and to remind you I'm always there for you."
"Thanks, Julius." I said, giving him a kiss on the lips.
Everyone said, "awww..." and stuff like that.
"I also have a present for you," said Delilah, smiling.
She gave me a neatly wrapped white present with red hearts. Julius unwrapped it, and showed his surprise. He gasped. in it, was a picture of Julius and me...one when we were both about ten, on the tire swing together at the park in a nice picture frame. There was also another picture frame, that said "I love You" all around it. Inside was a picture of us in the present, both sitting on my bed.
"Thanks, Delilah." Julius said, and gave me a kiss on the lips.
Everyone "awwwed" again.
I never been so happy in my life.

My friend was concerned with a ringworm on her underarm which had been there for a month she told me. She was really disgusted with it so much she wouldn't even show me it. I looked up ringworm hoping someone had mentioned an oil and yes they said lavender. So I told her to try and apply often during the day and before bed and next thing she knew it was gone! I am amazed how these oils work and keep on working!

The ERA Foundation
The ERA Foundation contributes to the economic vitality of the UK by supporting activities that help bridge the gap between research and exploitation in electrotechnology.
Since 2006 the ERA Foundation has conducted a number of studies under the general heading of "The Sustainability of the UK Economy in an Era of Declining Productive Capability".
A consistent theme in their consultations has been the failure of the banks to engage effectively with SMEs, and the loss of confidence of many SMEs in the banks as sources of investment and working capital on other than punitive terms. This issue remains of sufficient concern that they look at the problem in more detail in this report, the sixth of the series. It concludes with a proposal for a Government sponsored Bank for Industry.

CLOSED - Z Gallerie
- Location: New York, NY
- Website: zgallerie.com
This location of Z Gallerie is now closed.
Z Gallerie, what we think of as Pottery Barn's swarthy cousin, has lept off of the web page and into our lives...
Z Gallerie is another affordable, stylish alternative if you are looking to furnish and accessorize your home in an afternoon. Their style is more tribal, more world and a little bit more generic at the same time. Think of Anthropologie without an edge.
You will find everything from tabletop, to lighting, to bedding to major furniture in darker, richer hues and a shiny, more urban finish. Price points are good. Lamps from $70 to $150, sofas around $1200 and lots of framed artwork from $35 to $700. This is a BIG store.

"swarthy cousin"
Is this a new store to New York?
The store has been around for years now and it sounds like AT has just found it!
Or is this just an ad?
Anthropologie has an edge?
I've been tempted to buy furniture from Z Gallerie, but seeing how badly scratched the floor models are, I decided against it.
Z Gallerie has been around for years. As a former Store Manager at Z Gallerie, Union Street in san Francisco. I know firsthand that the furniture is excellent quality but I also know that they as a company are notorious for not delivering on time. Their decorative accessories while often trendy are great because they are relatively inexpensive and you can change your style often. Definitely worth checking out.
I had a bed from Z Gallerie for *years* - my ex husband still has it, I assume. It was really nice, HEAVY, and held up to all sorts of attempts at moving it and such.
Delivery was also fine, with no damage. The only thing that ever really damaged it was a scratch in the headboard when the closet door fell down in a big gust of wind.
"...Pottery Barn's swarthy cousin."
...but I want to meet Pottery Barn's smarmy cousin!
Conversely, does Maxwell assume Pottery Barn is "fairer" than Z Gallerie? Some readers could interpret his first sentence as ethnic innuendo. Oh wait, he's a blogger, not a journalist.
"...Pottery Barn's swarthy cousin."
Nailed it!
Yes, it's been around for years. My coffee table is from there, and it's my favorite piece of furniture. I'm always getting compliments on it. They also have a *great* selection of low-priced artwork and oversize mirrors (one of which I also own).
Have you been inside a ZGallerie? The "swarthy" reference is very apt and is based on the aesthetics of the place. Let's not get our PC hackles up unnecessarily.
Yes, it's a color reference, as in the colors of the merchandise, nothing more.
I have found some good accessory items at Z Gallerie. Kind of reminds me of H&M, in that you have to search through the dross to get to the good stuff. Glad to know their furniture is of decent quality.
"Kind of reminds me of H&M, in that you have to search through the dross to get to the good stuff."
Exactly. It's worth strolling through about once a season to see if they have anything worth picking up, but it's never been my go-to place.

This dessert is elegant, easy, & delicious. It is surprisingly light. Definitely recommend!
Oxmoor House
Panna cotta is an Italian dessert made from heavy cream that is usually served with fresh berries, caramel topping, or chocolate sauce. We substituted fat-free half-and-half and fat-free sweetened condensed milk for the heavy cream and added a little white chocolate for flavor. Since this impressive dessert needs to chill at least 8 hours before serving, plan to make it ahead, and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 panna cotta)

"Le voyage dans la cold-wave" SPECIAL EDITION JEREMY KOLOSINE from FUTURISKPublic · By Sofia Brugnoni
10:00pm in UTC+01
Giovedì sceglierà la playlist Jeremy Kolosine.
Chi è Jeremy Kolosine?
Jeremy Kolosine, aka Ksine, was born in Hackney, East London, moved to South Florida in the 1970's and is currently living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Jeremy is an electronic artist/producer/gearhead and is founder of electropunk pioneers Futurisk, 8-bit/micro-chipmusic vanguards 8-Bit Operators and electronic guitar band Shakespace. From 2003 thru 2011 he recorded as RECEPTORS.
Exemplifying a longtime experimental hardware electro ideal, Receptors stood equipped with everything from vintage analog synths and treated guitars to lo-bit digital handheld synths (mostly Game Boy & Nintendo DS), occasional circuit-bent devices, and vocoded 12-bit stylophonic walkstations. The debut Receptors 7" EP "Controller Array" was released in 2005.
Receptors performed at NYC's legendary Blip Fest, CMJ and Bent Festivals, showcased at Austin, Texas' SXSW Festival and Iceland's Airwaves Fest, and in 2007 Jeremy Kolosine performed the first ever circuit-bent performance with a full symphony orchestra (The Roanoke Symphony).
That same year the critically acclaimed ReceptorsMusic compilation "8-Bit Operators - The Music of Kraftwerk" was released on Astralwerks/EMI, and The DFA's James Murphy commissioned Receptors to produce a set of unique Real ringtones for LCD Soundsystem's "Sound Of Silver" album release. The ringtunes , which are re-interpretations of all 9 tracks on the hit album, were arranged and created in 8-bit fashion on the gameboy synth.
In 2008 Receptors released 2 albums of tracks produced on the Nintendo DS, including the first full-length release by an artist on the Korg DS-10 titled "groKwork".
In 2009, Jeremy completed construction on "21st Century Retro-Futurists", an ongoing audio/video installation for The Taubman Museum, and joined the Blip Fest Europe/ 8bitpeoples tour of Denmark and Poland (Era New Horizon Film Festival.)
On 09/09/09 the Kolosine-curated 8-Bit Operators' "WANNA HLD YR HANDHELD" Beatles Tribute was released, and is now available at http://8bitops.com/
Receptors closed out 2009 with the release of the "USER Deluxe EP" on the world-renowned chip-music label 8bitpeoples.
In 2010, the 30th Anniversary vinyl 12inch of Futurisk's "PLAYER PIANO LP" was released on Minimal Wave Records, and Receptors' full-length SLEEPER CD was released on the Handheld Heroes label. http://receptorsmusic.com/
In 2011, Futurisk's " Lonely Streets Remixes" with remixed tracks by Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle,Chris & Cosey), Tom Furse (The Horrors), Prince Language (DFA, Editions Disco) and Complexxion from the UK.
On 12/12/2012 Receptors Music Inc released the 8-BIT OPERATORS' DEVO Tribute: Crack That Chip! conceived/ compiled by Kolosine.
In 2013, Jeremy Kolosine was added to Marty Thau's legendary Red Star Records roster of artists (which includes work by Suicide, Blondie, John Cale, The Ramones, Richard Hell, Lola Dutronic and Dub Gabriel among many others.) Exclusive remixes of Futurisk and 8-Bit Operators were included on the "Variations" 2013 Red Star release.
2014 promises an increase in visibility and distribution of Kolosine's Receptors Music Inc label, with the release of 8-Bit Operators' Depeche Mode Tribute, "Enjoy The Science", as well as the anticipated completion of a Jeremy Kolosine solo release.

No one but Jesus Christ and genuine Christian faith is capable of quelling the violence in the nature of man. Only the Christian gospel is capable of mastering human violence, because it does so from within.
Pantheistic religion can't quell the violence of human nature because it is incapable of defining good or evil. For Pantheism, everything that exists is an aspect of God. Violence, vengeance, and destruction are just as truly expressions of the divine will as are peace, forgiveness, and restoration. If evil can't be defined, no stand can be taken against it. 1
Unlike pantheism, ideologies and nationalism are capable of defining "good" and "evil", but rather than subduing the natural violence of mankind they encourage and channel it. Nationalism channels violence against "evil" national "enemies." Ideologies set up categories to define who is "good" and who is "evil" and channel violence against the "evil." (Communism, for example, defined the "working class" as "good" and landowners, business owners, and investors as "evil." Unregulated capitalism declares anyone or anything "evil" that interferes with the accumulation of wealth.)
Monotheistic religions (including historical perversions of Christianity) also channel violence rather than suppressing it. Like nationalism and secular ideologies monotheistic religions set particular criteria for defining people as "good" or "bad". Sometimes their members are defined more by ethnicity than religious dogma and adherence to creed or ritual. In other cases membership is based on assent to a particular set of doctrinal beliefs and participation in a defined pattern of religious behavior. Whether membership is determined by birth, creed, or ritual, people deeply committed to monotheistic religions view themselves as God's chosen and non-members as heathen or infidels. Monotheistic religions are naturally theocratic and incompatible with separation of church and state, tending to establish strict legal codes that govern even insignificant details of life. Historically, whenever a monotheistic religions holds political power it treats non-members as second-class citizens at best, and often subjects them to full-scale persecution.
The hostility of monotheistic religions towards non-members isn't coincidental. The core beliefs of every monotheistic religion except New Testament Christianity include the express goal of conquering and ruling the world. 3
Whether their worldview is dominated by nationalism, pantheism, monotheism, or some ideology, the natural inclination of human beings is to resolve the tension of social and personal struggle, suffering and sin by identifying other groups as scapegoats. 4 Genuine Christianity doesn't look to birth, creed, or behavior for deliverance. Christianity looks to Jesus Christ. He fulfilled the moral law and fully paid its penalty, thus removing its curse. He was the perfect "Lamb of God" (Genesis 22:8; John 1:29; Revelation 7:17; 21:23; Hebrews 4:15; 9:28) who forever removed the need for a scapegoat. He obliterated the curse of the law (Galatians 3:10-14) with its guilt, fear, self-righteousness, and compulsion to treat outsiders as scapegoats and restored our relationship with God.
Based on the life and works of Jesus Christ, the gospel incorporates the moral law but transcends it. It offers a response to sin and conflict that doesn't place the blame on others. It doesn't define righteousness entirely on the basis of birth or outer works of loyalty or ritual. It sets the highest standards for moral purity (Matthew 5:48) at the same time as it declares that all people—including Christians—are sinners, worthy of condemnation and incapable of saving themselves. In Christ God provided a means of redemption from violence, offering us forgiveness and a means of living on a plane higher than that of our fallen nature. (Romans 5:20-21)
The only alternative to imposing an unjust order on a society by means of government violence is a society that bases its values and laws upon its model of a holy God who rewards good and punishes evil within a context of mercy and grace. A society founded on the gospel is the only society capable of defending truth and justice without scapegoating others. This is the kind of society that fulfills God's original purposes for Israel. This is the kind of society that followers of Christ should strive to build.
- The cult of Thuggee, worshipers of the Hindu goddess Kali, provide a vivid illustration of the problem. The following information is from a Wikipedia article on the Thuggee cult.
Thuggee (or tuggee) (from the Sanskrit root sthag (Pali, thak), to conceal, mainly applied to fraudulent concealment) was an Indian cult worshiping Kali whose members were known as Thugs. It was allegedly a hereditary cult with both Muslim and Hindu members that practiced large-scale robbery and murder of travelers by strangulation. Induction was typically passed from father to son, with the women of the household being kept ignorant of the cult activity.
The Thugs were a well-organized confederacy of professional assassins, who in gangs of 10 to 200 traveled in various guises through India, wormed themselves into the confidence of wayfarers of the wealthier class. When a favorable opportunity arose, the Thug strangled his victim by throwing a handkerchief or noose around the neck, and then plundered and buried him. All this was done according to certain ancient and rigidly prescribed forms and after the performance of special religious rites, in which the consecration of the pickax and the sacrifice of sugar formed a prominent part. From their using the noose as an instrument of murder they were also frequently called Phansigars, or "noose-operators."…
The will of the goddess by whose command and in whose honor they followed their calling was revealed to them through a very complicated system of omens. In obedience to these, they often traveled hundreds of miles in company with, or in the wake of, their intended victims before a safe opportunity presented itself for executing their design; and, when the deed was done, rites were performed in the deity's honor, and a significant portion of the spoils was set apart for her.
The fraternity also possessed a jargon of their own (Ramasi), as well as certain signs by which its members recognized each other in the remotest parts of India. Even those who from age or infirmities could no longer take an active part in the ritual murder continued to aid the cause as watchers, spies, or dressers of food. Because of their thorough organization, the secrecy and security of their operation, and the religious pretext in which they shrouded their murders, they were recognized as a regular tax-paying profession and continued for centuries to practice their craft, free of inquiry from Hindu or Muslim rulers.
Both of the sects into which they were divided by the Nerbudda river laid claim to antiquity. While the northern, however, did not trace their origin further back than the period of the early Muslim kings of Delhi, the southern fraction not only claimed an earlier and purer descent, but adhered also with greater strictness to the rules of their profession.
The earliest authenticated mention of the Thugs is found in the following passage of Ziau-d din Barni's History of Firoz Shah (written about 1356):
"In the reign of that sultan [about 1290], some Thugs were taken in Delhi, and a man belonging to that fraternity was the means of about a thousand being captured. But not one of these did the sultan have killed. He gave orders for them to be put into boats and to be conveyed into the lower country, to the neighborhood of Lakhnauti, where they were to be set free. The Thugs would thus have to dwell about Lakhnauti and would not trouble the neighborhood of Delhi any more." (Sir HM Elliot's History of India, iii. 141).
Thuggee was suppressed by the British rulers of India in the 1830s, due largely to the efforts of William Sleeman, who started an extensive campaign involving profiling, intelligence, and executions. A police organization known as the Thuggee and Dacoity Department was established within the Government of India and remained in existence until 1904 when it was replaced by the Central Criminal Intelligence Department. The defeat of the Thugs played a part in securing Indian loyalty to the British Raj.
According to the Guinness Book of Records the Thuggee cult was responsible for approximately 2,000,000 deaths.
The story of Thuggee was popularized by books such as Philip Meadows Taylor's novel Confessions of a Thug, 1839, leading to the word "thug" entering the English language. John Masters' novel The Deceivers also deals with the subject. A more recent book is George Bruce, The Stranglers: The cult of Thuggee and its overthrow in British India (1968). The two most popular depictions of the cult in film are the 1939 film, Gunga Din and the 1984 Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Both films have the heroes fighting secret revivals of the cult to prevent them resuming their reigns of terror. (Wikipedia) Back To Article
- Respecting their tendency to legislate lifestyle and morality, it difficult to distinguish between monotheistic religions and ideologies like secular humanism. Although "non-religious", secular humanism, communism, and other ideologies can be just as demanding and inflexible in establishing a required set of behavioral standards and religions. For example, it is hard to imagine a more stifling and inhuman existence than that demanded by the atheistic ruling classes in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World or George Orwell's 1984. Many thinkers today are acutely aware of similar autocratic, legalistic, and profoundly inhuman tendencies in modern "politically correct" liberal "humanism". Back To Article
- In sharp contrast, there is absolutely no basis in the New Testament for a Christian agenda to conquer the world though political and military power or to politically force people of other religions to bow to Christ.

Adrian Pasdar Arrested On DUI Charge
Adrian Pasdar was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Wednesday morning, the California Highway Patrol confirmed to Access Hollywood.
According to CHP officer Terry Liu, the "Heroes" star was observed driving a white Ford F150 at approximately 94 miles per hour before being pulled over by CHP officers, who determined that he was under the influence after conducting a field sobriety test. Odors of an alcoholic beverage were emanating from the vehicle, Liu told Access.
The 44-year-old actor was arrested at 2:59 AM and charged with a misdemeanor DUI.
He made his $15,000 bail later on Wednesday morning. His court date is scheduled for February 24 at 8:30 AM.
Pasdar, who played Nathan Petrelli on the NBC show before his character was seemingly killed off, is married to Dixie Chicks star Natalie Maines.
