See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows; let it suffice
What we behold is censured by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

Midwestern lo-fi sensation Bon Iver has a story and the hipper-than-thou crowd can surely tell it to you without constant references to Wikipedia. For starters, they definitely know whether Justin Vernon goes by the name of Bon Iver in the same way that Chan Marshall calls herself Cat Power. If he doesn't, they could tell you whether Bon Iver is the name of the band like the original Alice Cooper. They can also give you the full details of how For Emma, Forever Ago evolved from a Liz Phair style, homegrown recording into a much blogged about phenomenon and how it took Vernon from the Wisconsin woods to National Public Radio's showcase at this year's SXSW Festival. Those people can help you out with the legend; I'll try to help you out with the facts.
Last week at New York City's Bowery Ballroom, Bon Iver played before one of the largest crowds who have ever come specifically to see him play. Leaving center stage empty, Vernon sat at stage left and recreated the moody, pensive melodies from his ballyhooed debut. Using his three piece band to the fullest, Iver gave weighty form to his delicate tunes. Rather than falling apart in the live setting, fragile songs like "Flume" and "Skinny Love" gained form and substance. The same guitars that create the ethereal feel of For Emma reverberated around the Bowery Ballroom circling the air before nestling amongst the crowd which stood before Iver in respectful silence, saving their appreciation for the end of each song. If Grizzly Bear appeared next, the hypnotized audience could have been convinced to go forth onto the city streets and perform all sorts of Manchurian Candidate style misdeeds.
Singing in a voice that surely got him beaten up more than once while he grew up in Wisconsin, Bon Iver touched on most of the material from For Emma. For the middle of the show, Vernon played a couple new songs cut from the same mold, joking that he had to write new songs so he could fill out a headlining set. Any artist whose catalog consists of brooding, meditative songs runs the risk of becoming a pretentious head case when they play them live. No worries here; Iver's songs grew on stage, the end of "Creature Fear" built into a pulsing instrumental jam reminiscent of pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd and Vernon got the crowd to help him close the show by singing the wistful final chorus of "The Wolves (Act I and II)." For the encore, Iver played a relatively upbeat version of "For Emma" and then gathered everyone, including opening act The Bowerbirds, for an absolutely stunning near a capella version of Nashville singer-songwriter Sarah Siskind's "Lovin's For Fools."
Iver's show at the Bowery Ballroom proved that he could captivate an audience that already dug what he was doing. Many indie-stars accomplish that task and then never move beyond that core. Iver's never going to have a problem doing whatever he wants in the studio and his fans will always be able to turn off the lights, put on their headphones and lose themselves in his willowy melodies. As he attracts more interest, the difficulty will come when he tries to make the transition to larger venues. At the cozy Bowery, people kept reverently silent while Iver played, larger crowds won't be as receptive to hipster shushing. Prospects are far from grim though; as Grizzly Bear has shown with their opening sets and festival performances, audiences can manage to keep their mouths shut when the music demands their attention. Let's just hope they open them when he's done so the buzz can continue.

5-Horny Secrets0 Reviews
There wasn't such a thing as equivalent trade. Life was fundamentally unfair and he drank to that sad conclusion, utterly lonely on his bachelor party that no-one had attended.
AUTHOR: Cherrymelle
FANDOM: Fullmetal Alchemist
PAIRING: Roy/Ed, Al/Winry, Hawkeye/Havoc
GENRE: Angst, drama
WARNING: yaoi, spoilers, angst, deathfic, language, sexual references
DISCLAIMER: Nor Fullmetal nor its characters are mine, no money is being made here so don't sue or whatever.
SUMMARY: There wasn't such a thing as equivalent trade. Life was fundamentally unfair and he drank to that sad conclusion, utterly lonely on his bachelor party that no-one had attended.
It had been six weeks that Edward had left and Roy could swear he still smelt his scent in the house. Each time he went to bed, this strange combination of automail oil, vanilla shampoo, road dust and something kind of tangy permeated his nostrils, no matter how many times he had changed the bedding. It was driving him crazy. But that wasn't the worst, far from it.
Fullmetal was assaulting him in each of his senses.
There were mornings when he would see him in the mirror, leaning on his back, messy golden bangs brushing his shoulder. Each time, he would abruptly turn around to gather the smaller alchemist in his arms, and each time the ghost had already disappeared.
Often he would hear his voice, seeming a little rough from crying out Roy's name in passion. Each time he would answer it, and each time his words would be lost in the palpable silence.
Sometimes, just before falling asleep, when insomnia didn't plague him, he would feel the fleeting touch of a metal hand on his stomach, or a hot breath on the fine hairs of his neck, but when he tried to snuggle back against his lover, his bare flesh would only encounter cold sheets.
It would even happen that he woke with the taste of Edward on his tongue, like all those times when he would get to sleep without brushing his teeth, after swallowing the young man's seed. Not exactly a pleasant taste but a sweet one nonetheless.
He felt bloody haunted.
He was getting married the next day and wasn't even sure he would be able to perform for his wife on his wedding night. It would be a severe blow to his reputation if such news fell on the wrong ears. He would be the laughing stock of Central. The good thing with marrying a virgin was that she probably hadn't great expectations on bedroom matters. It didn't make him less worried. For all of his flirting, Roy hadn't had another lover since he began sleeping with Fullmetal. He never felt the need, as Edward was more than satisfying in bed. So delectable even that he couldn't picture himself with anyone else.
How could he sleep with Belinda when all he wanted was Edward? How could her slender hands compare with slick metal and hard calluses getting tangled in his hair? How could her sweet curves replace muscular thighs tightening around his waist? How could her soft belly supplant hard planes and well-defined abs stroking his cock? How could her warm cavern sheath him like lovingly yielding burning walls? How could her chocolate locks eclipse the sun of golden strands? How could her tender murmurs drown harsh sighs released in the highs of passion? How could she take Edward's place when she was nothing like him, nothing like the man he needed more than he needed the very air he breathed?
It was all so unfair. He would never have guessed that doing the right thing would be so difficult. He had known from the start that it would end this way, but he hadn't guessed how much he would become addicted to Edward. He shouldn't have let it go on for four years. And if he was honest with himself he knew that his obsession had begun even earlier than that.
He remembered perfectly the very first time he had laid eyes on the boy who would become the infamous Fullmetal. A mangled kid seeming far much too fragile and innocent to be the one having attempted the forbidden human transmutation. Golden bangs framing delicate features. Bronze lashes, unbelievably long and thick, shadowing the pale skin of high cheekbones. Lips slightly parted around a sweet sigh slowly exhaled in sleep. He had appeared so pure and ethereal. A fallen angel worthy of being worshiped.
When he had seen him again, months later in Central, he was completely changed but no less fascinating. It was the first time Roy had been subjected to the legendary glow of the boy, the same one which would later bring him to his knees. Mustang had always considered himself as an hedonist, taking pleasure wherever it was. But here was a line he didn't want to cross. Edward had been twelve, far too young to be seduced. So he had bid his time, putting a hold on his inappropriate want and watched the young alchemist grow and mature -well not much of the former but still.
Each day Edward seemed to grow more attractive. When he finally reached fifteen, he was downright gorgeous and Roy had unlashed three years of pent-up desires and frustration. It had been on a late night at the office. They were on the middle of an argument as usual, the boy's cheeks were flushed and his golden eyes bright. Roy had never seen him more lovely than this night, beautiful as sin. Then Edward had pouted and it had been the Flame Alchemist's downfall. Before he knew what he was doing, he had latched on the unsuspecting teen and kissed him breathless.
From there it had been like a downhill spiral where each taste of the golden boy put a new shiny nail on Roy's coffin. He knew perfectly on how many levels this relationship was wrong but he couldn't stop himself. He knew that love between men couldn't ever lead anywhere. He knew that both of their careers were on the line. And above all, he knew that Edward deserved so much better than himself. However, he was already too far gone and nothing seemed powerful enough to pull him off of the man who had become his very reason for living.
The following years had been the happiest in Roy's life. He often thought that simply being near Edward was enough, as his presence alone had a warming quality that he hadn't ever encountered in anyone else. When he had been on the verge of adulthood, the vertically challenged alchemist had already been an enchanting creature, but as a man he was purely and simply a God. Roy's personal one. At least, it was what he would have liked, but losing an eye hadn't made him blind. He saw perfectly well that the mysterious Fullmetal's aura attracted, not only himself, but mostly everyone around.
Along the years, he had observed all the people Ed frequented developing a crush on him at one point or another. It had been fun. As long as the boy was his, he could be generous enough to let other people bask in his sheer vibrancy. After all, he couldn't blame them for being entranced by the same utterly lovable being whom had attracted him in the first place. However, the full realization of this phenomena had only come on Al's wedding. Roy had spent the day watching women cooing at his oblivious lover, and that had made him deliriously mad. He had wanted to grab the young man, drag him all the way back to Central and make love to him for days long to renew his ownership.
It was then that the voice of his conscience, which he had managed to silence some years ago, started to speak again. It sounded awfully like Maes, and this fact alone would have been enough to freak him out if what he said hadn't been so disturbing. Sadly, Hughes appeared to make as much sense in his head as he had, when he had been alive. He reminded him that Edward wasn't -and never had been- his, and that it was past time he let the young man go. Convincing him that he would be much happier with one of the many sweet girls flirting with him. Ed deserved someone he could love in broad daylight, someone who could give him the warmth of a home resounding with children laughs, someone who wasn't so jaded as Roy himself. He had always known that. He had enjoyed Edward as long as he could, but it was past time he released his hold on the young man. It was the right thing to do. It didn't make it any less painful.
Maes's voice had been a constant presence the following months, while he tried to find the courage to end it all. It had driven him half mad but had strengthened his often faltering resolve. He had looked for a suitable woman, one who would benefit his ambitions to become Fuhrer, thinking that if he chained himself to someone else, he would be less tempted to go back after Edward once the break-up would have been consummate. Then, had come the time to break the news to his lover. He had been cold, matter-of-fact, but for all his strength of mind, he hadn't been able to watch Edward go. He had had to turn his back to hide the shameful tears which bathed his face and leave the house, unwilling to witness the young man gathering his things.
It had been the right thing to do. So why couldn't he forget the hopeful expression on his lover's face while he explained to Roy why they should move in together?... There wasn't such a thing as equivalent trade. Life was fundamentally unfair and he drank to that sad conclusion, utterly lonely on his bachelor party that no-one had attended.
He was already satisfyingly plastered when there was a knock on his door. A glance to the clock, marking nearly midnight, confirmed that, if it was a guest, he was more than fashionably late. He still hoped. No-one deserved to be alone on the night they buried all their dreams of love and happiness, not even such a bastard as himself. He hauled himself as far as the door, on not so stable legs, and unlocked the bolt.
He hadn't expected the fist coming crashing down on his face -even if he was the first to admit that he had deserved more than his fair share of punches in his thirty-five years of existence. He shook himself off of the floor, on which he had landed not too gently, more for having been caught unaware than anything -even if being drunk off his ass was certainly an aggravating factor. He tried to identify his attacker through one single bleary eye end was surprised to meet the furious gray pupils of the younger Elric.
"Alphonse! Pleasure to see you could attend, even if you are pretty late. I am afraid I already begun the party on my own. Edward isn't with you?"
It probably wasn't the thing to say as it seemed to change the young man's anger into a blind rage. Al leaped on the collapsed General and grabbed him by his lapel before striking him another punch, much more forceful than the first one. Mustang was becoming dizzy and all these fast motions were beginning to upset his stomach. He groaned piteously and took long calming breaths, before turning a questioning face toward his furiously shaking aggressor. He could surely take a beating, but the less Alphonse could do was explain to him the reason why, as he didn't remember ever having offended the man.
"How could you do something like that? Hadn't you hurt him enough as it is? Sending him your wedding notice was already pretty inconsiderate, but inviting him to your bachelor party was just... hateful! What did you expect? That he would come celebrate with you? That he would drink to your new found happiness? Maybe that he would tumble a last time in your bed in memory of the good times? How come anyone could be so heartless?"
That wasn't admittedly the better comeback Roy could have come up with, but he was trying to understand what Alphonse was talking about? Surely, Ed wasn't stupid enough to brag about the relationship they had shared, now that it had finally ended? Not after they succeeded in keeping it a secret for four years. And what was it with Fullmetal being hurt?
"I don't know what you're talking about Alphonse. There is no reason why my getting married should concern Fullmetal..."
Alphonse was now looking at him like he had just lost his mind and this expression alone was enough to interrupt him. It probably wasn't the best of times to be drunk. The fuzzy feelings surrounding his brain seemed to impede his usually sharp thought process. Even with all his concentration, he didn't seem able to comprehend what had the younger Elric so worked up. What's more, if Edward was the one hurting, for whatever reason, why wasn't he the one bashing Roy's face in? It wasn't like it hadn't been one of Fullmetal biggest goal in life, nor like he was the kind to hide behind his younger brother. He was evidently missing a crucial piece of the puzzle. Now if Alphonse would be so kind as to enlighten him...
"There is no way you could think that Edward would be accepting of your wedding coming only a month after you broke a years long relationship."
"I didn't know you were aware of this thing between your brother and myself. But you have no need to worry. It was nothing more than a fling for Edward and I put an end to it before it became anything serious..."
This particular comment granted him a barely human growl from Alphonse who came plummeting on him with raging fists. Roy was glad for all the alcohol previously ingested, which now served to somewhat deaden the world of hurt he would undoubtedly find himself on the morrow. The younger Elric could sure pack a mean punch. The General idly wondered how he would explain all the bruises to his father-in-law on the following day.
Between the sharp sounds of flesh meeting flesh, Roy was sometime able to catch the litany of words -mostly insults- the young man drowned him in.
"Fucking egoist... oblivious to people's feelings... complete bastard... hurting Nii-san... damn pervert... "a fling" he says..." And so on.
When punches stopped raining on Roy's battered body, Al wasn't more than a flurry form behind the single eyelid which couldn't open all the way. Mustang managed to catch, through strongly ringing ears, the disgusted snort coming from the other man, before the front door slammed shut after him.
Busted lips let out a relieved sigh and Roy started on asserting the damage. He concluded that he wasn't in any condition to move and reasonably decided to stay on the floor. While waiting for sleep to come, he tried to make sense of the events which had just occurred. Even if Alphonse blamed him for seducing his brother when he had been fifteen, he had to see that Roy had done the right thing in freeing Edward.
Love between men was hopeless, as the Flame Alchemist had learned himself the hard way. He remembered again the naive young man he had been all those years ago. Unsure of himself and ignorant of the way to tell his best friend he was in love with him. He had adored Maes, with all the passion one could expect of young love. For all his doubts and hesitancy, it was a sweet feeling or it had been, until the day Maes had announced him he had met the woman he was going to marry. That had crushed all his young and foolish hopes and gave him his first important lesson in life. Men couldn't fall in love with each other, they were meant to be with women, to marry and to have kids. That was how the world worked.
Edward could have liked all the things they did together, but there fatally would have come a day when it wouldn't have been enough. He would have need things that his old male lover couldn't give him and he would have left. Roy had just sped up the process in taking the decision all by himself. After all, Fullmetal was generally so oblivious to the world around him that he needed to be made aware of the reality, as harsh should it be. Someone had to show him that he was old enough to become a part of society. Old enough to begin the search of the perfect young woman who would make him happy. Old enough to stop fooling around with bitter older men. And who better than the very man who had stolen his innocence to give him the necessary push in the right direction?
Oblivious... There was another thing that Alphonse had said. It was the second time in less than a week that someone called him oblivious. The first time had been when Havoc had turned in his resignation, just after Hawkeye herself. The first Lieutenant had chosen to follow his girlfriend who had been promoted to her own Office. In the end, Breda had been the only one staying under his command, and Mustang suspected it was more by laziness than loyalty. All the others had gone, pretexting various inane reasons. Mostly that now that he seemed to have granted himself the support of the Parliament, with his timely betrothal to the Prime Minister's only daughter, he didn't need their meager help anymore.
The defection of his formerly loyal friends had been a severe blow. Particularly when dealt so soon after his painful parting with Edward. He had been pretty numb at the time and that was probably why he hadn't plainly understood the meaning behind the parting words of Havoc. The young man had said something about him being oblivious and about Riza not having suffered enough that the story would have to repeat itself with the Boss. Even upon reflexion, that didn't made much sense for Roy and anyway he wasn't presently in any condition to dwell on this particular mystery.
After all, what could Riza or Ed possibly know on the matters of suffering? He was the one lying battered bloody and lonely on the cold floor of his living room. He was the one about to commit himself to a loveless marriage for the good of others? He was the one who had to rip his own heart apart to grant the happiness of the angel he loved. Colonel Riza Hawkeye was easily climbing the Military ladder without having to sell herself, while experimenting the joy of burgeoning love with Jean Havoc. As for Edward... not content with being the exceptional person he was, he was now free from his aging and formerly clinging ex-lover, with all his life before him... How could that compare with Roy's own suffering?

Brain & Nervous System Health Center
Living With a Spinal Cord Injury - What Happens
Classifying a spinal cord injury continued...
Damage to the spinal cord can be complete or incomplete.
- In a complete SCI, you do not have feeling or voluntary movement of the areas of your body that are controlled by your lowest sacral nerves—S4 and S5. These nerves control feeling and movement of your anus and perineum.
- In an incomplete SCI, you have varying amounts of movement and feeling of the areas of your body controlled by the sacral nerves.
Some recovery of feeling and movement may return after the injury—how much depends on the level of injury, the strength of your muscles, and whether the injury is complete or incomplete. Most recovery occurs within the first 6 months of the injury.
For the family and caregivers
After a traumatic SCI, your loved ones will often ask questions about the injury and what it means. Keep your answers short, simple, and honest. You cannot give a complete answer, because it's often hard to know how serious the injury is and how much you will recover. This typically is not known until swelling and bleeding are reduced and the doctors can find out where the spinal cord has been injured.
Moving into rehab
After emergency treatment and stabilization, you will move into rehab. A rehab center helps you adjust to life, both physically and emotionally. The goal of rehab is to help you be as independent as possible.
Your rehab depends on your level of injury. You may have to learn how to manage your bowel and bladder, walk with crutches, do breathing exercises, and move between a wheelchair and another location.

Go Beyond Wings This Sunday: 5 Other Recipes with Buffalo Sauce
To me, nothing says Superbowl Sunday like Buffalo wings. They're a bit of a secret food indulgence for me. But the truth is, while I love the tangy sauce, sometimes chicken wings aren't always up to par. I've been on the lookout for more interesting uses of the sauce and found a few that only improve on the classic.
That tangy, spicy sauce has no match, except maybe sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. If you're cooking for a die-hard Buffalo sauce crowd, check out the following non-wing ideas.
• 1. Buffalo Grilled Shrimp with Blue Cheese Dip, from Gourmet.
• 2. Mac and Cheese with Buffalo Fried Chicken, from Bon Appetit.
• 3. Buffalo Style Grilled French Cut Chicken Breasts with Blue Cheese Sauce and Jicama, from Bobby Flay.
• 4. Buffalo-Chicken Quesadillas, from Katie Lee via Cosmopolitan.
• 5. Mini Spicy Buffalo Chicken Balls with Blue Cheese and Hot Sauce, from Daniel Holzman and Michael Chernow via The Martha Stewart Show

The buffalo mac and cheese recipe is one of my great guilty pleasures--a bit of work and time to put together, but really, really good.
Got this recipe from a Mission (tortilla company) email. I used normal pre-shredded mexican cheese, whatever tortillas I had on hand, and didn't measure anything, just shredded a cooked chicken breast and then poured in buffalo sauce til it looked right. For variations try mixing in corn or diced onions or peppers.
Buffalo Style Chicken Taquitos
Prep Time: 16 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Prep Tool: Work Surface, Mixing Bowl, Oven
Serves: 4
Recipe Ingredients:
* 12 Mission® Yellow Corn Tortillas, warm
* 3/4 cup Deli Rotisserie Chicken, white and dark meat (no skin), shredded and reserved warm
* 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Buffalo Sauce
* 1 cup + 2 tablespoons Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
* Non-Stick Pan Spray to coat
* 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing
* 2 cups Iceberg Lettuce, hand torn into small pieces
Recipe Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Measure out 3/4 cup of the reserved, shredded chicken and place in a separate bowl. Add 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons Buffalo Sauce to the measured-out chicken and mix together until the chicken is coated.
3. Lay warm tortillas on a work surface and place 1 heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture horizontally on the bottom of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese over each tortilla. Roll tortillas up into cylinders to form taquitos.
4. Spray baking sheet with non-stick pan spray and lay taquitos down, seam side down, on your baking sheet. Once all of the taquitos are on the baking sheet, use your pan spray to coat all of the taquitos.
5. Cook for 13 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking time.
6. Remove from the oven and serve 3 taquitos to a plate. Place 1/2 cup of iceberg lettuce pieces to one side of the taquitos and spoon 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing alongside the taquitos for dipping. A small amount can be drizzled onto the lettuce if desired.
* You could also use blue cheese dressing to dip your taquitos in.
* Instead of using Colby Jack cheese, substitute another cheese of your liking to your taquitos.
I love ordering tator tots or onion rings tossed in buffalo sauce. It's not a healthier option, but it is damn good.
Anyone have a vegetarian suggestion? (I'm going to try tater tots too)
I can say no to bacon, but for some chicken wings break me!
as a buffalo girl, i have a few recipes up my sleeve. not necessarily healthy or refined, but delicious and always a hit at parties.
1-2 chicken breasts fully cooked and shredded
1 package cream cheese, softened
1 package (6-8oz) shredded cheese (i use half cheddar and half mozzarella)
1 package (4-6oz) crumbly bleu cheese
1 cup frank's red hot sauce (franks is THE BEST)
mix all of the ingredients together, reserving half of the shredded cheese. place in glass baking dish, cover with remaining shredded cheese and bake at 350 until bubbly and hot. (also doable in a microwave in a pinch!) serve with carrots, celery and/or crackers. THAT EASY.
(all ingredients approximate. i never measure.)
3-4 cups bowtie pasta, cooked
1-2 chicken breasts, fully cooked and diced
1/2 cup each carrots and celery, diced
6-8 green onions, sliced
1 (4-6oz) package crumbly bleu cheese
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (NOT hot sauce!)
cook carrots and celery in a pan with a little butter over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. the veggies should still have a little crunch, but not be raw. add the white ends of the green onions and cook for another minute. mix veggies with pasta, chicken, wing sauce and bleu cheese. garnish with green onion tops. best with warm pasta and chicken so that bleu cheese melts and forms creamy sauce. delicious served warm or cold!
oh and just in case you have difficulty finding wing sauce, you can make your own with equal parts hot sauce and butter. i am totally partial to frank's and won't use anything else. not exactly healthy but good for when i need a little hometown fix.
also, something unique to buffalo are chicken finger subs! buy or make chicken fingers, toss in wing sauce and put on a sub roll with shredded lettuce (oddly good in this setting), tomato, bleu cheese dressing and any other sub additions you like!

Scott named national athlete of the week
Arkansas junior Dominique Scott leads the pack around a turn in the women's mile during a dual meet against Texas on Friday, Jan. 17, 2014, at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas' Dominique Scott was named the female national athlete of the week Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Scott won two races Friday during the Razorbacks' dual meet against Texas with times that currently lead the NCAA. The junior ran the mile in 4:38.49 and later anchored the 1600-meter leg for the distance medley relay team, which finished with a time of 11:25.58.
It was a strong start to the indoor season for Scott, who won the Southeastern Conference cross country individual championship in November and was named the league's runner of the year.
Arkansas is currently ranked No. 7 in the country and stands a good chance to move up in the polls following the dual meet win over No. 1 Texas. The Razorbacks return to the track next weekend for the Razorback Team Invitational.

Mark Lawes is the founding Artistic Director of Theatre Junction. Since 2005 and the reinvention of Theatre Junction GRAND, Mark has been working as a director/creator with an international multidisciplinary company of artists. His current themes explore collective memory, post-colonial identity, and the extreme relationship between death and desire. His live writing for the stage is created organically out of a friction between fragments of history, visual art, contemporary dance, music, and an alphabet of material coming from a dramaturgical research. All of this is put in motion through a process of improvisation. Short works and experiments include Archeology and The Atlantis Project, and 3 full-length works are a part of a trilogy including Little Red River and On the Side of the Road that toured to World Stage at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. The 3rd chapter in the trilogy, Lucy Lost Her Heart, premiered in February 2011 in Calgary and toured to Usine C in Montreal in 2012.
Mark travels extensively and has had the opportunity to see the work of contemporary live artists from around the world. He is constantly creating links and dialogues with an international community of theatre makers, choreographers, visual artists, and musicians. He has worked with directors in Opera, Theatre and Dance. In 2003 he lived in Paris where he worked on projects at The Paris Opera, Théâtre L'Athenée, The Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Le Scène Nationale d'Orléans, and The Steirischerbst in Graz. Prior to establishing himself as a creator of contemporary performance, he worked as an interpreter of classical and contemporary text both as an actor and director. Mark was the driving force and visionary behind the redevelopment, design and vision of Theatre Junction GRAND in Calgary.
Art opens up the world!
To look back on history and juxtapose the Old World – complete with its lies and misconceptions – against the blank page of the New World, creates the possibility for something new to occur – a new combination, a re-contextualization of the old into the new. However, caution must be taken – one cannot simply blaze a trail blindly with the assumption that something good will come of it. History cannot be ignored. As soul musician Billy Preston once aptly crooned, "nothing from nothing leaves nothing."
It is from this spirit of change and re-invention that Theatre Junction GRAND was born. From its transformation as Calgary's oldest theatre – which escaped demolition for the first time in 1974, the same year Billy Preston topped the charts at #1 – to its conversion into an indoor-golf driving range; and from its repurposing in 2006 to its current standing as one of Canada's leading multidisciplinary theatres, it is clear that the theatre is no stranger to change or adversity.
Theatre Junction's 2013-14 season spans four continents and as many genres of live performance: theatre, dance, music and hybrid forms. It is a season that confronts the spectator with wonder as each artist leads us into unknown territories. The rare and singular experiences you will encounter this season will crack open the world of established reality and reveal new possibilities; activating a boundless imagination, showing once again that theatre asks us to consider what it means to be together, here and now.
All of us at Theatre Junction look forward to sharing our 2013/14 program with you this year!

Clever 'Gotcha' Not Enough to See Now You See Me
- Thursday, May 30, 2013
DVD Release Date: September 3, 2013
Theatrical Release Date: May 30, 2013
Rating: PG-13 (for some language, intense action, and sexual content)
Genre: Action-Drama
Run Time: 116 min
Director: Louis Leterrier
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Morgan Freeman, Melanie Laurent, Dave Franco, Michael Caine
Some films – regardless of how well they're made – ultimately rise or fall for the viewer via the subject matter itself. Now You See Me is a perfect example.
Despite being a handsomely mounted piece of Hollywood entertainment, if you're really not into the glitz-spectacles of Vegas-styled magic shows then Now You See Me isn't going to cast its spell on you. There's a lot to see here – and even more hidden to look for – and it's all very smartly constructed. But it's just a construct. This plays like the movie equivalent of a CBS procedural: high in concept and production artifice, while low – or at least simple – in character depth.
The plot-heavy machinations and labyrinth slight-of-hand narrative unspool with glossy precision, but the characters are just machinations as well. Whatever depth they have is derived from a talented cast committing to the material as much as possible, even as the dialogue they're given is a bit too clever and slick for its own good. And then there's how the whole resolution feels like a cop-out, but we'll get to that.
Now You See Me is the story of four moderately successful magicians who are mysteriously assembled by an unknown benefactor for the high stakes purpose of robbing banks. The ingenious catch is that the heists are a part of their high-dollar magic shows, billed as The Four Horseman. This puts the difficult onus on the FBI to charge them of a crime committed by means of magic – something that can't hold up in court. The thefts are happening yet they can't be proven.
Each magician, as you'd imagine, has his or her own forte. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg, To Rome With Love) is a traditional showman; Merrit McKinney (Woody Harrelson, The Hunger Games) works in the so-called psychic powers of Mentalism; Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher, The Great Gatsby) is Atlas's former protégé turned escape artist; and up-and-comer Jack Wilder (Dave Franco, Warm Bodies) uses his talents as a low-rent shakedown conman.
There are four other players in this game as well: an investor (Michael Caine, The Prestige), a debunker (Morgan Freeman, Oblivion), and the two investigators – Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo, The Avengers) and Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent, Inglorious Basterds) – tasked to break the case and bring the illusionists to justice.

The action of ultrashort laser pulses on a semiconductor: Possible processes and a possible sequence of events

This paper analyzes the sequence of processes that occur in a solid when an ultrashort laser pulse (USP) acts on it. A physical model is proposed for a consistent description of the processes that ultimately cause the destruction of the material accompanying a brief light exposure. This model is used to obtain simple estimates that indicate the possibility that a number of specific processes occur. As a result of this analysis, a new mechanism is proposed for the laser destruction of semiconductors and insulating media under the action of USPs. © 2004 Optical Society of America

3D printed nose thanks to cubify and cubify sculpt
I recently got a 3D printed, a cube from cubify to help in the creation process of a few things here at the shop. I want to be able to print parts, gas them so I can smooth them, and create a silicone cast to cast them in resin. All in all the idea is working better than I expected.
When I started looking at 3D printers I kept tossing the idea of makerbot and cubify back and forth. Having seen cubify up close first at CES and play with it had swayed my wants towards it but still wanted makerbot. The biggest deciding factor here was price. Cubify was $1299 while makerbot for the dual extruder so it can do both PLA and ABS was around $2500 which made it a bit harder to attain. I wanted to make sure I wanted to use 3D printing and not just tinker with a few models and put the printer away. I was not 100% sure what I was getting into but went with the cubify after reading how easy it was to set up and take care of it. Granted the cubify printer has a much smaller build surface of 5.5 inches all around. It comes down to getting creative with builds and if you need something larger print in parts. So I got both PLA and ABS for my prints. PLA comes with it and I printed a ton of different things for the house and for friends with it. This printer handles it very well. I got ABS since I am wanting to smooth the prints using the acetone trick and was very happy with how it handled it at well. Had a few mishaps at first because I had not activated the raft support, but after I did it was smooth sailing. With that being said I have completed a big print of parts for another 3d printer that is currently being built at my house a mendel. So in a way these printers can replicate themselves.
Last night I decided to give my nose a print. It is almost a full 3 inches long as I was trying to use it on costume work. I need to gas it so it smooths then I can cast it. The print itself took 2 hours (strong build with supports and ABS).
All in all I am more than impressed. The printer has turned out better than ever. Looks great and takes very little space in my office. If you are wanting to get into 3D printing and not wanting to spend over 2k then look at the cube from cubify. They are easy, and even the apps that come with it are a breeze.
If you have a staples close to you go check them out. A few staples around the US are now carrying them so you can tinker with them at the store. If you want a bigger build surface and to spend a bit more then go to the microsoft store and play with the makerbot. Either way you will not be disappointed.
Super excited to see what the future holds with these. Will continue posting my findings as I progress with this machine. If you have any questions just ask.
Btw before anyone asks, no I do not plan on printing a whole head with this. It is not possible nor would I want to do it. Take in mind 3D printing takes time and it is still expensive all in all. I am printing parts to cast, that was the whole purpose of this purchase :).
Thank you for doing this! I've been looking into this thing for my own personal sculpting/maquette ideas, and I was...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We heard it all last season. 'The Clippers are contenders. They have the best point guard (Chris Paul) in the league. The brightest young star (Blake Griffin) in the league - how could they not compete at the highest level for a championship?'
But they completely floundered after taking a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. Was it then-coach Vinny Del Negro's fault? Was it Paul's fault? Griffin's? Well, it really doesn't matter because they proved one thing: they were not contenders. "On paper" means absolutely nothing. But here we are once again.
The Clips made moves this offseason - and it was not just re-signing Chris Paul (5 years, $107 Mil). It was not just 'trading' for Doc Rivers to be their new coach. They shipped Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe (their most prized possession) in exchange for Jared Dudley and JJ Redick, two proven floor spacers that will provide Paul with consistent options on the perimeter and the floor spacing necessary for Blake Griffin and (gasp) DeAndre Jordan to do work on the block.
That paragraph above? Speculative. Purely. Can this all happen? It should. But who really knows. The Clippers didn't stop there however. They signed Darren Collison, Paul's former backup in New Orleans, to do just that in Clipperland - a big upgrade from the oft-injured Chauncey Billups. Jamal Crawford is also still under contract while the re-singing of Matt Barnes solidifies this bench as one of the top in the league (on paper, once again). Byron Mullens (who is definitely an upgrade over the lost soul of lamar Odom) and Ryan Hollins round out the big men on this bench.
Contenders on paper. Weren't the Lakers just that last year. *sigh* We'll just have to wait and see - but pure speculation is fun. Especially for fans. Specifically for fans writing about them.
Los Angeles Clippers Contenders (on Paper)!

Corel Painter 12. 1 is now available for download.
Drag and Drop Variants into Brush Categories
Now you can simply drag and drop your variants or custom variants into the brush category of your choice or create a new one! One word of caution, dragging and dropping a brush means just that, it does move the variant you choose into the new or existing brush category and removes it from the default one. If you want to leave a copy of the brush you are moving behind , then simply hold down the Alt key or Option key in Mac.
Save Custom Variants into Any Brush Category
Painter 12 makes it easier than ever to save Custom Variants into any custom or default brush category. From the main menu or from the Brushes fly out option choose "Save Variant". Save the variant with a new name and either assign a Brush Category or click on the " +, plus " symbol and give your new category a name. Finally, select OK and your variant is now saved in a new custom category.
Add New Brush Categories
Painter 12-1 makes it easy to either add a New Brush Category or Remove a Brush Category. This can be done by clicking either on the Brushes menu tab or from the Brushes palette and opening the fly-out located in the upper right corner of the Brushes Library palette. If you are planning on creating some Custom brushes, it is a good idea to create a New Brush Category to store your brushes in. Watch the video for more on this subject. You can create a brush library by either exporting an existing library. This creates a copy of the contents in the library, then, you can import the copied library to create a new library. Now you have complete control over your work flow by creating new libraries for painting projects or for sharing brushes with your friends. And, if you no longer need the library you can simply delete it or remove it from within Painter. Painter will not allow you to remove the default Painter brush library or the Painter 11 brush library.
In Painter 12. 1 you can also change the brush category icon by right-clicking a category in the Brush Library panel and choosing Set Custom Icon, and choosing the image that you want to display as the category icon.
Export a Brush, Category or Brush Library/Remove a Variant or Brush Category
With Painter 12-1 you can now import/Export a Brush, Category or a Complete Brush Library. Think how easy this will make it for you to share your Custom Brushes with friends!
Importing and Exporting Brush Libraries, Categories, and Variants
You can import and export brush libraries, categories, and variants. This allows you to work with brush resources that were created by others, or share them with others. Note that you can share exported brush resources only with those who installed Corel Painter 12.1 Update. Do make sure you update soon to take advantage of the wonderful new resource in Painter 12. 1 .The brush source files of Corel Painter 12.1 Update are not supported in older versions of Corel Painter, including Corel Painter 12 and Service Pack 1.
To import a brush variant
- From the main menu bar, click Brushes > Import Brush.
- In the Import Brush Variant dialog box, browse to the folder where the brush variant is stored.
- Choose the brush variant file, and click Open
- In the Save Variant dialog box, choose the brush category where you want to store the variant from the Brush Category list box.
To rename the brush variant, type a name in the Save Variant As text box.
Click Save.
Enhanced Brush Stroke Preview
Now you can preview your brush stroke with selected color and brush attributes such as color, paper texture, nozzle type, pattern and clone source.
Workspace Management
Now you can delete work spaces. Removing the current workspace will prompt you to select another workspace to proceed. When a workspace is deleted, it deletes it permanently. Remember to always back up your brushes, papers and other custom options should you want to restore them at some point.
Enhanced Color Mixer Pad
This is a terrific new function especially if you enjoy mixing your own paint colors on the Mixer palette. Now in Painter 12 you can save the Mixer pad from the library menu in either .MXS ( Corel Painter Mixer Palette File) or PNG format. To pick colors use the Alt key (PC) or Option key ( Mac).
The most exciting addition is the ability to open an image to use in the Mixer palette to mix of pick color from. Mixer pad images can be loaded using RIFF, PSD, JPG, PNG or TIFF file formats.
New Improved Drag and Drop Support Panels
Organizing your workspace is important for the digital artist. Painter 12 makes it easy for you to drag and drop existing panels and organizing them in a way that makes sense to you. Nest and organize layers, Channels,
New Panel Resizing and Panel Presentation Options
Panels can now be moved and re sized without affecting other nested panels. Panels that display 3 dots at the bottom of the panel are capable of being re sized without affecting the other panels attached to it.
Photoshop Plug-In Support
You can now take advantage of 3rd Party Photoshop Plug-Ins for Mac (32bit) and 32 or 64 bit for Windows OS. Those who enjoy Topaz Plug ins will now be able to utilize them in Painter 12-1 once again.
How to Load Plug-ins in Painter 12-1 (and other versions)
1. Go to Corel\Painter 12\Support Files.
2. Create a new folder in Support Files and name it "Plug ins".
3. Copy and paste your 8bf files into that folder. In the case of most of the paid plug-ins such as Topaz, you will have to actually install them, but you need to make that folder first.
After the plug-ins are loaded, launch Painter 12 and open an image for testing. Go to Effects>Other. Current Plug-Ins will be listed under the "Other" category.
Other Enhancements:
- Scale Feature to Brush Size calculations are now correct.
- Settings in the Clone Source Panel are maintained between PC and Mac.
- Crosshairs are now displayed when performing offset cloning.

James C. Scott, The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia. And his quote is Ira Lapidus, "Tribes and State Formation in Islamic History" from Tribes and State Formation in the Middle East.
The viewpoint Scott is arguing for is to see tribal cultures as being constituted as such specifically to avoid forming or being incorporated into a state. The introduction of agriculture involved, in many ways, a decrease in the quality of life, and not everyone decided to go in that direction. Tribal forms of organization arose alongside state-based forms of organization as some people turned towards agriculture and others turned away.

You can't negotiate with nature.
Geography is the new history.
We're living it now.
Communications consultant Stowe Boyd says new studies may be showing us that multitasking is actually quite possible. "There is recent evidence (published by researchers Jayson Watson and David Strayer) that suggests that some people are natural 'supertaskers' capable of performing two difficult tasks at once, without loss of ability on the individual tasks," he wrote. "This explodes the conventional wisdom that 'no one can really multitask,' and by extension the premise that we shouldn't even try. The human mind is plastic. The area of the brain that is associated with controlling the left hand, for example, is much larger in professional violinists. Likewise, trained musicians listen to music differently, using more centers of the brain, than found in non-musicians. To some extent this is obvious: we expect that mastery in physical and mental domains will change those master's perceptions and skills. But cultural criticism seems to want to sequester certain questionable activities—like video gaming, social networking, multitasking, and others—into a no-man's-land where the plasticity of the human mind is negative. None of these critics wring their hands about the dangerous impacts of learning to read, or the intellectual damage of learning a foreign language. But once kids get on a skateboard, or start instant messaging, it's the fall of Western civilization."
Boyd said it seems as if the social aspects of Web use frighten many detractors, adding, "But we have learned a great deal about social cognition in recent years, thanks to advances in cognitive science, and we have learned that people are innately more social than was ever realized. The reason that kids are adapting so quickly to social tools online is because they align directly with human social connection, much of which takes place below our awareness. Social tools are being adopted because they match the shape of our minds, but yes, they also stretch our minds based on use and mastery, just like martial arts, playing the piano, and badminton.""—

Despite the fact that the American Diabetes Association tells us that most overweight people will never get diabetes, the concepts of obesity and diabetes have been so conflated that the term "diabesity" has come into vogue. Except it's not by crazy random happenstance – the term "diabesity" was trademarked by a group called Shape Up America. According to their website, they are supposed to be "high profile national initiative to promote healthy weight and increased physical activity in America". So why do you think for-profit diet companies like Weight Watchers International, Jenny Craig and Slim*Fast, not to mention pharmaceutical companies including Wyeth Ayerst, Ortho-McNeil, and Novartis, have donated millions of dollars to this initiative? An initiative which, if they thought it would actually work, would put them out of business? Do you think it's possible that they know that the fat panic created by Shape Up will drive them customers who will have a 95% chance of failing and then becoming their customers again?
Speaking of diet companies, it wasn't their idea to put disclaimers up every time they say that their product works. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and other weight loss companies have been successfully sued for deceptive trade practices by the Federal Trade Commission, and their disingenuous practices have lead the FTC to create regulations specifically for their advertising. So they didn't change their very profitable behavior of selling a product that they know has limited success, they just disclaimed it.
Weight Watchers in particular has been caught doing some really shady research. Counting people as successes twice when they lost weight, gained it back, then lost it again, making it seem like people who succeed on their first diet to lose the 10 pounds they gained after a break-up prove that people on their 20th diet can lose over 100 pounds, counting people as "successes" for statistical purposes as soon as they lose 5% of their body weight, even if that leaves those people in the same BMI category in which they started (and therefore, based on their own literature, at the same health risks as when they started.)"—Sick of Being Somebody's Cash Cow? « Dances With Fat (via jerseyjezebel)

TECHNOLOGY SPECTATOR: Why Facebook should ditch its IPO
John Gapper
You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you'd hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you'll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they'll be comforted to know your energy's still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you're just less orderly. Amen."—Aaron Freeman "You Want A Physicist To Speak at your Funeral" (source: npr)

We get a lot of doubt from people who think you should wait until your 30 or have a great job or be married to start a family. But i believe every one has their own story and reasons for wanting to start a family. Mommys under 25 tell us what it is like having a family and going to college/working.

Santa Claus Conquers The Martians, The Santa Clause 3, and A Muppet Christmas Carol
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Except for summer. And Spring break. And my birthday. It's one of the top five most wonderful times of year!
It's not so wonderful for Santa in Santa Claus Conquers The Martians ,where he is kidnapped by people of Mars (who look like earth people but with green face paint and steam-punk helmets). But in the end, Christmas is saved by a goofy alien and some precocious kids!
It's not so wonderful for Ebenezer Scrooge in A Muppet Christmas Carol, where he is a bit too grumpy and doesn't celebrate this particular religious holiday so everybody makes his life terrible. But in the end, Christmas is saved by three ghosts, one who looks like a preemie baby in a bed sheet!
It's not so wonderful for Tim Allen in The Santa Clause 3, where he has to fight Jack Frost the douchy broadway star / theme park magnate. But in the end, Christmas is saved by a little red head hugging an old man.
Merry Christmas if you celebrate. If not, sorry for adding more shitty Christmas media to the world.

Alternative Medicine Cabinet - Flu Season Fandango
Choosing between flu shots and alternative remedies can dance you in circles. Here are pros and cons of each.
With flu season upon us, it's time again to face that annual dilemma–flu shot or no flu shot? Conventional medical circles embrace it as a simple, slam-dunk solution: Get the shot and you can walk into a room full of flu germs with near impunity. But if this is the case, why do so many alternative medical practitioners distrust it? And if such mistrust is justified, should you get one, or could it wind up doing more harm than good?
Pierre Brunschwig, MD, a holistic doctor at Helios Integrated Medicine in Boulder, Colo., and a charter fellow of the American Board of Holistic Medicine, is wary. He says that each winter's flu formula is reformulated based on strains of flu that arrive in the Southern Hemisphere during its winter, which is our summer. Brunschwig says there's no guarantee that the Southern Hemisphere formulation will match the strains active in North America by the time our winter rolls around.
But making the decision to get a flu shot goes well beyond this issue. While some holistic practitioners do think the harm always outweighs the good, others feel the shot could prove helpful, depending on your age, health and circumstances. Regardless of whether you get the shot or not, natural alternatives can help keep you healthy this winter.
The flu shot controversy
If you're debating whether to get a flu shot, consider the advice of Sherri Tenpenny, DO, of Middleburg Heights, Ohio: Become informed about the specific substances being delivered through the needle, she warns. For example, Tenpenny says, "during the flu vaccine manufacturing process, antibiotics such as neomycin, polymyxin B and gentamicin are added to eliminate stray bacteria found in the mixture." The final solution can contain additives such as Triton-X 100, a detergent; polysorbate 80, an emulsifier that is a potential carcinogen; and additives such as formaldehyde to inactivate the virus as well as gelatin and residual egg proteins used to nourish the cultures. Bottom line, according to Brunschwig, "if you have an egg allergy, you simply can't get the vaccine." Not all flu formulations are alike, either, so if you decide to get one, ask your doctor about the specific ingredients.
One of the most worrisome issues is that some flu shots contain a substance called thimerosal, an organic form of mercury used as a preservative. "Many influenza vaccines still contain thimerosal," Tenpenny says, which is being investigated for its link to brain injury and autoimmune disease. Several studies have found significantly increased odds of neurodevelopmental disorders—including autism, mental retardation, speech disorders, personality disorders and thinking abnormalities—in children (not adults) following thimerosal-containing vaccines.
Brunschwig says that further risks with the injectable flu shot include local reactions at the injection site and anaphylaxis (a s...

I have to agree with your antagonist, this is not out of your reach.
You've already stated that you have over two thousand gold. You could spend that money on a second spec. Instead, you've decided to save the gold for your first epic flying mount. That's your decision, an understandable one, but the fact that you have that money undermines your point that this is an unreachable cost.
You do ask a good question, with limited time is it better to farm or to run instances for emblems? The answer is *either/or*. It's far easier, and cheaper, to stick to one than to try to do both.
Repair bills are a concern, but if you're a healer on a server with a shortage then you have a lot of leverage to avoid bad groups. Your time to too valuable, limited as it is, to allow a single bad group to monopolize your evening through their stupidity.
If you stick to emblems you should be able to get most of the key pieces in the course of a couple weeks, at which point you can safely switch back to farming.
If you *must* do both I'd recommend taking the hit and grabbing the second spec. It is a large setback, but if you're respeccing back and forth between healing and farming specs once or twice a week the investment will pay itself back in a month or two.
