The mission could open the door for private entrepreneurs like James Cameron and the founders of Google, who recently announced they want to mine platinum and gold from asteroids flying by Earth."Such an achievement has the potential to inspire a nation," reads a feasibility study of the $2.6 billion plan furnished by the Keck Institute for Space Studies. "It would be mankind's first attempt at modifying the heavens to enable the permanent settlement of humans in space." Via WMUR-TV and NBC.
NASA Wants to 'Lasso' Asteroid, Force it in to Moon Orbit
The goal is to use the rock as a base of operations
Image: Keck Institute for Space Studies
It's Buzz Lightyear meets Woody. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is aiming to "lasso" a 500-ton asteroid in the next decade and relocate it to a spot firmly in orbit of the moon. The hope is to one day use the asteroid - which is currently not available, as far as we know, but presumably will be - as a base of operations for further exploration of not only the moon, but the more exciting rock known as Mars. The mission would require substantial political backing (for good or ill). What does this all mean for the hoped-for private sector exploration of space? A great deal, apparently.

Expensive show for only viewing a couple of dinosaurs. Not worth the money and not to mention its only an hour Long. The show had a lot of dialog so my son lost interest We were expecting to see more of a show from the dinosaurs. Not people talking the entire time. Waste of money

the causes for most gun violence in the USA (homicide and suicide) is poverty and education, centralized in the core sities and lessening as you drift to the outer metro areas, with the exception of suicide which spikes further out, thought possibly due to isolation of lone commuters into the cities. In the freebie society of liberals for the past 100 years all attempts to mitigate poverty and poor education gun violence has skyrocketed. Knowing future attempts likely to fail equally, now attempt to remove, limit, or challenge effect use of weapons a better goal. Logic fail.

text: Tables for Two March 18, 2013 Issue The Marrow 99 Bank St. (212-428-6000) By Andrea K. Scott Table of Contents Credit Matthew Hollister Italian-German relations hit a road bump last month, when Italy's President cancelled dinner plans with a German candidate for chancellor (he called Berlusconi a "clown"). Harold Dieterle could have helped out. The chef's third West Village restaurant was inspired by the cuisine of his mother's Italian heritage and that of his German-born father. Had the politicians broken bread with the Marrow's salt-studded pretzel rolls, served with both whole-grain mustard and olive oil, or shared plates of duck liverwurst and addictive prosciutto-wrapped dates, one imagines a détente would have been achieved on the spot. You could say, without insult, that Dieterle's food is all over the map. After winning the first season of "Top Chef," in 2006, the talented Long Island native, with his business partner, Alicia Nosenzo, opened Perilla, named for a species of mint, better known as shiso, favored by cooks from Laos to Japan. Their second spot, Kin Shop, plays winningly fast and loose with the cuisine of Thailand, and a similar creative spirit rules at the Marrow. Take its namesake dish: one long marrow-filled bone, topped with briny dollops of sea urchin and Meyer-lemon aioli, a one-two-three punch of umami, balanced by baby celery greens and crispy cubelets of potato. Just as harmonious are the pillow-soft gnudi, spruced up with salty baccalà and prickly-hot cherry peppers, then mellowed, Sicilian-style, by pine nuts and yellow raisins. Who knew the Germans did crudo? Let the starter of cured arctic char, served with beets, pistachios, and a kicky horseradish cream open your mind. The main courses are less predictable in their success rate. The pan-fried duck schnitzel is grease-free perfection, crunchy on the outside and fragrantly moist when the knife meets the cutlet. But, on one recent evening, the culotte steak of wagyu, a famously butter-soft beef, arrived chewy. One man's meat is another man's fungus, and vegetarians don't get short shrift. There's a roasted hen-of-the-woods mushroom so massive that when it arrived, atop cardoon-creamed kale, one friend teased another, "What did you order, a log?" Even those who polish off their whole mushroom must save room for dessert from the pastry whiz Ginger Fisher. A golden apfletasche, billed on the menu as an "apple hand pie," comes with caramel for dipping and ice cream made from quark cheese. A creamy chocolate budino is topped with crackly hazelnut brittle. But if you order only one sweet, take a cue from Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost": "An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread"—or, in this case, the delectable ginger stout cake.

Template talk:Dance
Dance music genres[edit]
This template, which falls under wikiproject dance, is focused on dance topics. Recently, the "dance music" entry was removed from See Also and replaced by an entire table row that lists "dance music" genres. Aside from having "dance" in their names, these have nothing to do with dance and therefore do not belong on this template. If this is appropriate then it would also make sense to create another row that lists, for example, all songs that have "dance" in their titles. I propose that: (1) the template be restored so that "dance music" is listed under See Also; and (2) all dance music genres be removed from this template. If it's important to list these genres on a template, they can be added to an appropriate music-oriented template. Lambtron (talk) 17:02, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, its just that they have dance in the title, which is only because of the way in which popular music genre names are created (they tend to be portmanteaus of other genres). They don't really believe on a dance based template.--SabreBD (talk) 17:49, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- The dance music genres are related & oriented with dance. Their genres have a different setting, like dance-pop is a dance music genre in a pop setting. Superastig (talk) 01:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- An entry under "See Also" is fine, but an entire row for "Music" at the same level as "Types", "Genres" and "Technique" does not seem justified to me; a seperate {{Dance music}} template might be. — Robert Greer (talk) 12:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- The template has been restored to its former state per consensus. As suggested above, it might be logical to list dance music genres on a music-centric template such as {{Dance music}}, but it's clearly inappropriate here. Lambtron (talk) 03:00, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

This will slowly become an index and time line of things I've done related to Carbonation.
This is chronological so skip to the bottom if you need to catch the latest.
Advanced Soda Making Basics (8/2008): Far from advanced, my first foray into soda making was using yeast and doing it in champagne bottles. Back then I had a library of 200 bottles in the wine walk-in. I was doing the disgorging under water. If I attempted this again I would use a bidule under the caps to help disgorge. There was a lot of yeasty aroma and some of the ingredients produced sulphury aromas when fermented.
Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients (5/2009): Fenaroli says a wide variety of strange and amazing stuff. One thing he hints at is that carbonation has a relationship with bitterness and somehow changes contrast detection.
Advanced Kegging Basics (6/2009): This is the post that kicked off the craft kegging revolution. Shitty margarita bars had shitty kegged drinks on the gun but it had never been done in a craft context or modern culinary program. You will notice I also re-discovered reflux de-aeration and the enzymatic bittering of citrus. Yep, a lot of things start right here at bostonapothecary.com.
Cocktails for 400, well more than 200 of 400… (10/2009): This was the first instance of me or probably anyone using craft keg batching for a catering event. My boss is crazy and she set me up to work mostly by myself (a helper showed up) and make drinks for 400 people. I proposed using kegs, she said she didn't care, and away we went. I explain the rig and muse on the sensory properties of the drink I chose.
Elusive High Pressure Bottling (3/2010): This is a cautionary tale of what I've tried and failed with in my goal to bottle at very high carbonation levels. Since then I've slowly tackled everything and revolutionized my knowledge of the subject, but it did take years and thousands of dollars.
New Ways of Thinking about Carbonation (7/2012): This post simply marks my revelation that if we think of carbonation in terms of g/L of dissolved gas it is far easier to wrap your head around and we can measure carbonation with a kitchen scale because the figures are in the multiple grams per liter.
For Sale: Champagne Bottle Manifold ($100 USD) (12/2012): The unveiling of the Champagne Bottle Manifold. This thing is awesome and new prototype version that moves liquid is epicly cool. I've even seen this post quoted for its great DISCLAIMER. I've had a lot of fun with these and shipped them around the world.
RTFM: Using Your Brand New Manifold / Carbonator (1/9/2013): The manual for the champagne bottle manifold.
Reflux de-aeration and what it can do for you (12/2012): Here I unveil the very powerful concept of reflux de-aeration and explain what it can do for bar programs. Using pressure to remove oxygen might even be cooler than carbonationg. I use this technique a lot.
High Pressure Batching: NYE Edition! (1/2013): I just repeated this tradition for the second time with big success. The drink is simply served in magnum champagne bottles. It was great to see so many celebratory flutes around the room. I did this drink again on valentines day and had left over bottles that I saved and opened many months later for an event. There was no loss of carbonation or hint of oxidation.
Carbonating With an Agitating Head (1917) (1/2013): A great look at a historical paper that described an instrument that functions very similarly to mine.
Working with one less tool: Finding specific gravity with a kitchen scale (2/2013): This post has some problems but I include it to stimulate ideas. The successful ideas inside can help add extra justification for buying an expensive kitchen scale to measure carbonation. A gem here is the idea of knowing the dissolved volume a gram measure of sucrose by dividing by its density, 1.587.
Green Apple Soda as De-aeration Color-Indicator-Test (8/2013): This is really one of my brightest ideas and really delicious. I prove the power of reflux de-aeration by using color as the tell instead of aroma.
TKO in nine rounds with Bostonapothecary (9/2013): Nine rounds of modernist cocktails I made for two visiting food scientists after their presentation at Harvard. I served the green apple soda and a cocktail from a magnum that had been aging since Valentines Day. It had no loss of carbonation or signs of oxidation after all those months!
High Pressure Liquid Transfer Bottler End All, Be All (10/2013): The first unveiling of my liquid transfer version of the manifold. The newest version work really well.
High Pressure Small Bottle Filler (100 mL / 187 mL) (11/2013): This was the unveiling of the prototype small bottle liquid transfer version of my champagne bottle manifold. I had since refined the design but need to refine it again. Ultimately I will move to 3-D drawings, 3-D printed prototypes, and then injection molding.
Currently I'm still mastering the newest version of the manifold which has the potential for a removable down tube to move liquid up and down a bottle. The hold up is the valve that lets out the gas to vary the pressure. I can't find a reliable enough valve that doesn't leak. If it leaks even gradually, the manifold cannot do double duty as counter pressure solution. I think I need to switch to a higher end fitting which will unfortunately increase the cost significantly. I my last large scale try, which was this NYE, every thing worked really well. I carbonated 1.2 liters in each magnum then used one magnum to top up the others under pressure. Everything behaved as expected when I went to use them days later. No leaks or oxidation!
Right now I also have cradles made to move liquid into 100 mL, 187 mL, and 200 mL bottles. They work but need to be re-modeled to have tighter radii so the seal aligns better. I can't do this with my drill press because the bits are too proprietary but I can do it with my jewelers saw then carefully remold to make a seamless part.

Weapon: +1 Whirling Whip-Dagger(or, if that's not possible, just an ordinary whip)
If you're fine with 3.0 material, here's an Indiana Jones'esque character, capable of holding his own in a fight for you, made by myself:
Human Barbarian 1/Fighter 4/Lasher 8/Exotic Weapon Master 3/Crusader 2/Warblade 2/Swordsage 1
Ability Scores: High Strength, High Dexterity, Decent Intelligence, Decent Constitution.
Barbarian 1 Jotunbrud or Extra Rage, Education, Whirling Frenzy ACF, Spiritual Lion Totem ACF
Fighter 1 Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Whip
Fighter 2 Knowledge Devotion, Combat Reflexes
Fighter 3
Fighter 4 Weapon Focus: Whip
Lasher 1 Power Attack
Lasher 2 Improved Trip
Lasher 3
Lasher 4 Knock-Down
Lasher 5
Lasher 6 Improved Disarm
Lasher 7 Robilar's Gambit
Lasher 8
Exotic Weapon Master 1 Flurry of Strikes Stunt
Exotic Weapon Master 2 Defensive Sweep, Uncanny Blow Stunt
Exotic Weapon Master 3 Trip Attack Stunt
Crusader 1
Crusader 2 Craven
Warblade 1
Swordsage 1
All in all, the build gets 4 additional attacks when in rage, it's penalty, pretty much, negated by Knowledge Devotion, with 19 BAB ending up with 8 attacks per round, also dealing x2 strength damage instead of x1.5. With flaws availible, both Extra Rage and Jotunbrud are recommended. Has pounce, 9th level maneuvers and has decent versatility outside of combat. A good trick on AoO's would be to trip your opponent and use your additional attack due to Improved Trip to disarm him = total humiliation. Overall, a fun build to play, IMO.

Re: [3e] Taking Creative Build Requests
Request 107
A two weapon claw fighter, might like to use poisons, might like to flurry, bonus points if you can add stealthy and athletic shenanigans into the mix.
His backstory is he's an ex-monk (levels in monk aren't entirely necessary, but martial artist and far eastern flavor is) who used to run with this rogue type that taught him how to use poisons, and so he got on the bad side of the law for a while, but now he's surviving on his own looking to perfect his art/fighting style.
The claws aren't really that important, I'm sure any number of different weapons would work fine, but the flavor is what matters.

A Naruto style ninja. Not the realistic stealthy ninja who wear black..no...I am looking for a naruto style shinobi who kicks stealth to the curb and instead relies on magic spells("Jutsu" is the proper term, but they are basically spells)and can be good at martial arts at the same time.

Miley Cyrus, Mother Raise Cancer Awarenessby Hilton Hater at . Comments
It pains us when we can't mock Miley Cyrus.
Fortunately, the singer gave us (and the Parents' Television Council) plenty to go on about in her new music video.
But mother Tish Cyrus recently spoke to USA Today about how she and her daughter got involved with City of Hope's "All In Week" last week to raise cancer awareness among mothers and young women. We can only give them props for that action.
"It's scary when you have girls, and you hear how many women of all ages, including the young, are affected by cancer every year," said Tish, who lost her father and grandmother to the disease.
Elsewhere in the article, Miley's mom talked about her and her family's involvement in this important cause. Excerpts from the interview follow:On City of Hope: Children's cancer was something that Miley was really passionate about. It's so devastating to see how many people are affected by cancer every year. One of the first things Miley did with City of Hope was to team up with Disney on The Concert for Hope at the Gibson Amphitheatre with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. For each ticket sold, $1 was given to City of Hope. I believe she raised over $1 million.
On settling an example: Miley has always believed that if we all do something small, you can make a huge difference. When visiting a children's hospital at home in Tennessee or being involved with City of Hope, it's about getting out to spread that message. Also, teens can make a difference by setting an example for young kids. That's been the case with our youngest, Noah, who's 10. She looks up to Brandi and Miley and the work they do. She's planning to go to Haiti for a mission trip.
On who inspires Miley: Her dad. In the early '90s when he was touring, we'd do 290 shows in 350 days, and I never remember one when he didn't spend time with special-needs kids, meeting them after the show. He'd also give all the gifts he'd been given at each show to local children's hospitals, even if he had to drop them off at midnight. Miley was just a little girl then, but those things she remembers.
FAKE @hollywood,hacker,below: You lost me at 'premire'--what is that? A word from your alien-planet?? It's 'premiere'. Is not being able to spell a side-effect from sniffing your 'handbags'? Something has to be diminishing your brain-cells(assuming you have any). Soooo---this is yet another Sad Attempt for you to try to write and be---me. Why is that? Can't stand on your own?? I have no trouble doing it. Maybe you could,too,if you'd stop trying to be someone else. Good luck with that 'wanna-be'...Later;Hollywood--out...
My premire handbags will make you forget you ever had a tumour.Designer handbag Dog Carriers, handbag Cat Carriers,and all types of Pet Carriers will remind you and your loved ones that cancer can strike anyone..I sweat tears of Gucci to design these handbags for you .Some people just dont khow how terrible cancer can be or how awful it is to leave your favorite pets at home when you can be toting them aroound town in my exclusive pet carrier handbags.Please express to others the importance of receiving regular mamograms and how they can obtain one of my precious handbags.Together with Miley and her Mom we can beat cancer like a drum and by buying one of my pet carrier handbags we can show our little critters at home that we can love them without PETA getting involved.So be aware of cancer and remember my handbags..Later yall..Hollywood..Out..
Like who the hell doesnt know what cancer is? Cancer is a personal thing,you can't give it away like Aids or Herpes.
@HH Lover: Ha,ha,ha! Love the wit! Thanks 4 making me grin! Lol! Later all;Hollywood---out...
@Hollywood: You could of been more grateful in thanking @HiltonHater for stepping out of his hate-box. You just don't realize the traumatic effects that can happen when one leaves their natural comfort zone. I just hope this does not result in therapy and medication.
wth THG!!! i like u for every reason except mocking miley. i just cant understand y u all cant leave her alone!! did she did something bad to u all or make yr reputation go down?? shes just awesome the way she is no matter in hannah montana or the real miley it doesnt matter. she is what she is n its her life, she get to do what she wants to do
l think miley is a wonderful girl,she does so much,for charities.So it really upsets me,when these sites seem to find it entertaining to make fun of her.l'm a huge fan of miley's,& unlike you kat,l accept miley just the way she is,l don't ask her to make me proud,the truth is,l've always been proud of her,& what she has done,with her life.To me,miley is the most beautiful girl,to ever walk this earth.She is total perfection,there is nothing,l would try & change about her.l love her,just the way she is.l only have one wish,& that is to be privelaged enough to meet her,one day.But l know this will never happen,but l guess l can dream.So l'll just love & support her,from my laptop.Ur wonderful miles.Peace & godbless:)XX
Keith White(Megamileyfan1)uk.
wow way too only commet when Miley dies simething "contreversial" Good Job Miles you're a great inspiration. Just watched your Best of Both worlds concert again last night, and it replentished my faith in you. DOn't go overboard though, you don't need to dress scanty to attract attention, and you look beautiful in anything you wear, I not sayijng you hasve to dress up as a prude, or a 14 year old. You can dress your age, but just remember to keep values and limits. Also are you still best friends w Mandy? Because i MISS YOU GUYS.. iF YOU EVER MEET UP AGAIN WILL YOU MAKE ANOTHER YOUTUBE VIDEO OR IS THE m&m SHOW CANCELLED? Just let us fans know so we don't just keep hoping. Luv you for life Milez, Please keep me proud of you Kat (age 16)

The Indianapolis Colts haven't exactly had any good news this offseason.
It started with the arrest of team owner Jim Irsay in March. Then Robert Mathis was suspended for using performance enhancing drugs. And most recently wide receiver LaVon Brazill was suspended for at least a season for another failed drug test.
Brazill was released from the team this week. With that suspension, and now release, there is talk of a double standard in the organization. Bob Kravitz of the Indy Start recently expressed his concern over issue.
The debate, if you can call it that, stems from the team supporting Irsay and hanging Brazill out to dry. How can you welcome one drug addict and shun another?
Actually, its pretty easy.
Part of it stems from the difference between prescription drugs and marijuana. Simply put, prescription drugs are extremely addictive. Not only that, but they are more damaging to a person than habitual marijuana use. Opioid addiction is becoming a serious problem in the US.
These types of drugs produce a level of dependency in the body and result is severe withdrawal symptoms when coming down. This can become so severe that it causes respiratory issues that could result in death. People who are addicted to prescription drugs need serious help and support. They are risking their lives over an addiction.
Marijuana "addiction" largely depends on your definition of addiction. The level of withdrawal symptoms doesn't include death, which means the body doesn't become physically addicted. No one has ever died from a marijuana overdose either.
There is also a world of difference between a team owner and a fifth string wide receiver struggling to make the final roster. In case you didn't know, not all people are equal (despite what the NCAA would like you to believe). There is a different set of standards for everyone.
Irsay has done amazing things for Indianapolis. He is also the team owner and the last time I checked, there wasn't a protocal for the Colts front office to cut the owner from the team. There is literally nothing the team can do about its owner. That is up to Roger Goodell.
Brazill, on the other hand, simply doesn't have enough self control to stop smoking pot. This is his third failed drug test. The first is considered a warning, the second a four game suspension (last season for Brazill), and third results in at least a season ban.
It is hard to muster sympathy for some who: A) knew what the consequences of his actions were; B) had been suspended for his actions before; and C)
Irsay has earned the respect of the community. He's built up good will through his generous nature and by producing a product the city embraces. Brazill hasn't earned anything. He isn't a future Hall of Famer and has done nothing to earn the respect of the fans.
Comparing Brazill to Mathis would make a lot more sense, but again the two are not equal. Mathis has earned the benefit of the doubt, at least from Colts fans. Brazill knowingly consumed a substance he knew could get him into trouble and now has to pay for his mistakes (literally as he loses his 2014 salary of $570,000).
There are different standards for both people and the two situations are completely different. Irsay will be punished at some point by the NFL. Brazill has now received his punishment and from a business perspective, there is no point in keeping him around the team.
There is no double standard in Indianapolis, just common sense and business.

Kotobukiya is a great alternative to statue collecting, especially for those of us who enjoy marveling at magnificent pieces of art – but don't have the disposable income to drop hundreds of dollars on products by other companies like Sideshow or Gentle Giant.
Its latest Boba Fett statue is scheduled for release in October, and is currently up for pre-order for $44.99.
This statue features Boba Fett in his Cloud City paint scheme, and is posed holding up his blaster, ready to take shots down the Bespin corridor – elegantly sculpted to look like it was pulled right out of the film.
The statue comes in a model kit with pre-painted parts, which snap-fit together to form a lightweight and durable statue at 1:10 scale.
This is Kotobukiya's first addition to new round of smaller scale Star Wars models. There's no glue required to build this kit.
At this price, this line of statues also makes for great gift ideas for younger fans and family members, or at the very least, the opportunity to own a quality statue without fear of buyers remorse or over paranoia over the product breaking.
Some new Valentine's Day items are hitting stores, featuring our favorite bounty hunter. The coolest of these items is a heart-shaped collector's tin.
While it holds eight lollipops for your sweetheart, the real treasure is the amazing comic art featured on the top of the tin – fully colored pop-art from Marvel-era Star Wars comics has been the trend this year for officially licensed seasonal products.
This tin could easily be repurposed for your needs, I've been using it to store my smaller collectibles like dog tags, minifigures and Fighter Pods.
If your Valentine is a LEGO fan, then they'd also love the LEGO Star Wars Valentine cards, brought to us by Hallmark. The set includes four designs, with eight cards of each design in the box. The Boba Fett card includes images of the Boba Fett minifigure and LEGO Slave I soaring in the background.
Have you seen any other Boba Fett related Valentine's Day products? If so, send us some photos via Twitter or send them to email@example.com.
There's a slew of new opportunities to win Boba Fett collectibles, as a number of sites are hosting sweepstakes and giveaways. You could have the chance of winning high-end merchandise from companies like Sideshow Collectibles and Gentle Giant, plus a number of medium tier items from sites like Mint In Box or ThinkGeek.
Entertainment Earth is giving away Gentle Giant's Boba Fett Mini-Bust, which was an exclusive item at this year's San Diego Comic Con. The bust is 1:6 scale and features interchangeable arms and a certificate of authenticity. The winner will receive #1369 of the 2,500 limited run. The bust measures a little over 7 inches tall and is hand painted, and also includes a tin box that's emblazoned with the insignia of the Mythosaur skull. You can enter at Entertainment Earth's Facebook page.
ThinkGeek.com and Sideshow Collectibles has partnered to offer a Boba Fett prize pack. This is the ultimate giveaway for Boba Fett fans, as it includes a Sideshow Collectible's Boba Fett Mythos Statue, ThinkGeek's Boba Fett designer watch, bathrobe, backpack and a LEGO Boba Fett LED Keychain. Enter this giveaway at SideshowCollectibles.com.
French-site Mintinbox.net is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special Boba Fett giveaway. By simply entering the contest at its Web site, you'll be entered to win one of five prize lots. Prizes include a Gentle Giant Boba Fett Mini-Bust, Joe Corroney's painting "The Slave Princess," a Boba Fett Medallion, Star Tots of Han Solo in Carbonite and Anakin Skywalker, or a Boba Fett T-Shirt and five bounty hunter patches.
After months of very little collecting news, a tornado of announcements has fallen upon San Diego Comic Con. I was thrilled to see plenty of new Boba Fett merchandise previewed and with companies saving their biggest reveals for Celebration Europe next month – we can only assume even more Boba Fett-oriented collectibles are going to pop up next weekend. Here's a rundown of what we've seen come out of the convention so far.
Hasbro officially announced the line-up for its second wave of Black Series 6-inch action figures. Wave 2 includes four characters, including Boba Fett, Han Solo, Slave Leia and Greedo. Boba Fett is the same figure included in the SDCC/Celebration exclusive box set, but without the Han Solo in Carbonite. These figures are scheduled to hit store shelves this fall.
Take its cue from the Skylanders franchise; Hasbro is introducing Angry Birds Star Wars II Telepods. These figurines are similar to the mystery bags we saw earlier this year, but with new sculpt and they can be digitally entered as playable characters in an Angry Birds Star Wars II online game. They can be purchased in figure packs or through sets – including a Bounty Hunter set, featuring Jango Fett and an Angry Birds version of Slave I in Boba Fett's colors. The application and Telepods are debuting this September.
Even though Hasbro's Class II vehicles released a few months ago didn't fly off the shelves, the toy company plans to release another three vehicles this fall. In addition to Obi Wan and Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, Hasbro will release Boba Fett's Slave I. This is just a repaint of Jango Fett's Slave I, which is currently clearance for $13 at Target.
The Clone Wars toy line was canceled earlier this year, but Hasbro is including characters from the animated series, along with Original Trilogy characters, in its Saga Legends line – waves coming in 2014. Hasbro officials report this line will feature less articulation, but at a lower price. They say the sculpts will remain highly detailed, but after being used to high articulation, the figures appear visibly stiff. Included in early waves will be Boba Fett, designed after his Episode V appearance.
Gentle Giant laid a surprise on fans during preview day at SDCC, when via Instagram, they revealed a new Holiday Special Boba Fett maquette. Fans remember Gentle Giant producing an animated style Boba Fett as a Celebration IV exclusive in 2007, but this statue is vastly different in style and its pose. The officials didn't give any further details, like release date or price, but the images of the piece are amazing. I for one, I am eager to secure this item on my display shelves.
During the onslaught of information, images and news coming from the convention – The Dented Helmet posted a photo of a Prototype Helmet they helped develop with eFX Collectibles. The cast was designed after the actual hero helmet Boba Fett wore from The Empire Strikes Back.
Everytime you turn around, Funko has a new wave of POP! Vinyl hitting store shelves. It's no wonder, the company is releasing more than 50 exclusives over the next year, including a Boba Fett variant, painted to resemble his appearance in the animated Droids animated series. This is a repaint of its earlier Boba Fett bobble-head and is limited to just 300 pieces. It's available for $15 during Celebration Europe later this month in Germany.
JediNews.com announced plans for its Caravan of the Force, a two vehicle convoy, which will travel through Europe prior to Celebration Europe – raising money for Make-A-Wish Foundation. One of the persons joining the caravan is none other than Jeremy Bulloch, who will be joined by his wife, Maureen. Bulloch will be signing autographs at their stop to a local Toys 'R' Us in Brent Cross, London. Starting at 7:30 p.m., Bulloch will autograph a special Black Series backing card. For information, visit www.justgiving.com/caravan-of-the-force.
With only a few weeks till thousands pour into Essen, Germany for Celebration Europe – we've received a peek at the official event's merchandise, some of which features our favorite Mandalorian. Items include a Boba Fett hoodie, and a very sharp looking messenger bag.
Earlier this year Hasbro gave a first look at the characters being introduced in Series 2 of Angry Birds Star Wars mystery bags. Each mystery bag includes two miniatures, including characters like Han Solo, Princess Leia and Boba Fett.
Reports came in a few months ago that Series 2 had popped up overseas. These items have finally made their way to the U.S. I've been checking the toy aisle at retail stores and finally saw the new mystery bags appear at my local Target.
We're still waiting for reports on the larger Boba Fett Power Battler, including a Han Solo target, to be spotted at local retail outlets.
In May, Sideshow releases its latest addition to the Star Wars Mythos Collection, Boba Fett. This polystone statue stands 19 inches tall and weighs 14 pounds. Sideshow deployed a team of nearly a half dozen artists to create this detailed piece, including sculpting by Michael Norman and Pascual Wawoe, a design by David Igo and a magnificent paintjob by Bernardo Esquivel. Collector's can pre-order Boba Fett for a retail price of $324.99, but Sideshow also offers a payment plan for as low as $65 per month.
Great detail was put into the statue. Boba Fett wears his Mandalorian armor, which shows the wear and tear of numerous battles. The armor is banged up and burnt, his cape and tattered and his clothing is worn and dirty.
Boba Fett gribs two blasters and a larger blaster rifle straps over his shoulder. Hanging from his belt, underneath is jet pack are three Lightsabers. A knife is also strapped to his right boot. The statue carried a high purchase price, but this piece is superior to many other statues I've seen in the past and would be a great addition to any collection.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the prominent Kennedy political family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he served as a naval lieutenant in the Pacific theater and was cited for exceptional bravery for the rescue of his men. Kennedy is the youngest person ever to have been elected president of the United States, at the age of 43. (Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest ever to serve as President of the United States.)

Two Persons Arrested in Car Break-ins
Investigators with the Lexington County Sheriff's Department on Monday, April 21 arrested a Lexington woman and a Columbia man for breaking into motor vehicles and criminal conspiracy.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said deputies arrested Hannah Guyton Laird, 19, of 105 Timbermill Crossing, Lexington and charged her with five counts of breaking into a motor vehicle and one count of criminal conspiracy.
Metts also said that deputies arrested Matthew Grainger Shelley, 25, of 1450 Brentwood Drive, Columbia and charged him with five counts of breaking into a motor vehicle and one count of criminal conspiracy.
Arrest warrants allege that Shelley and Laird, on Monday, April 21 at approximately 4:30 a.m. unlawfully entered vehicles located at residences at 148 Maple Drive, 277 Black Pine Court, 205 Oak Ridge Lane, and 362 Cinda Leigh Drive, near Lexington.
Arrest warrants further allege that sometime between April 14 and April 21, Shelley and Laird unlawfully entered a vehicle at a residence located at 113 Pine Mill Court, near Lexington.
On Monday, April 21 at approximately 4:30 a.m., deputies responded to a call for service for suspicious persons looking into people's cars on Black Pine Court, near Lexington. Officers located Laird and Shelley who told the officers they were out in the neighborhood looking for a lost dog. Laird advised officers that she lived in the neighborhood.
After recording their information, the officer continued to patrol the neighborhood and spotted a suspicious vehicle parked in an unlighted area. The officer also noticed a backpack on the ground under the vehicle. The officer inspected the backpack and noticed it was filled with several electronic devices and a wallet. The officer established the vehicle belonged to Laird. A short time later Laird and Shelley were arrested and provided confessions to officers for breaking into vehicles in the neighborhood.
Metts asked anyone with any information about additional criminal activity involving Laird and Shelley to contact investigators at (803)785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Researchers Find Clues for Early Alzheimer's
June 10, 2010 -- Researchers have discovered how mutations in a gene long known to be associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease cause the brain disorder.
''We think we have the principal mechanism by how the gene is affected and causes the early onset of Alzheimer's," says researcher Ralph Nixon, MD, PhD, professor of psychiatry and cell biology at the New York University Langone Medical Center and director of the Center for Dementia Research at the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research.
Nixon's team found that the gene normally helps clean ''debris'' from the brain, but the mutation hampers its ability to do so.
The discovery may eventually lead to treatments not only for early-onset Alzheimer's, but also the more common form that occurs later in life, Nixon tells WebMD.
The report is published online in the journal Cell.
Back Story: The Early-Onset Alzheimer's Gene
About 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's, the brain disorder that includes memory loss and loss of other intellectual abilities, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Of that 5.3 million, about 200,000 have the early-onset form.
Fifteen years ago, researchers found that mutations in a gene, named presenilin 1, were linked with early-onset Alzheimer's, which can affect people as young as in their 30s.
But no one understood, until now, exactly how the genetic mutation led to the disease, Nixon says. "Like in a lot of diseases, a gene is found and [then there is] a prolonged search for how it may cause the disease."
Focusing on the Presenilin 1 Gene
Nixon and his colleagues studied mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and the skin cells of early-onset Alzheimer's patients linked with presenilin 1 mutations.
They found that the gene normally performs a crucial function that enables cells to digest unwanted proteins. This was an unexpected function of the gene, Nixon says, the task of "getting rid of waste proteins, garbage proteins in the brain cells."
"It would be similar to a house cleaning where you have to get rid of material accumulating -- garbage and waste," Nixon tells WebMD. "The cell has a recycling system, taking that waste and digesting and processing it, so it can be used again."
''When that system doesn't work, you have an accumulation of proteins that are potentially toxic to the [brain] cells. It's similar to a house filling up with garbage and causing health problems."
Practical Applications
Most efforts to develop drugs to treat Alzheimer's have focused on ridding the brain of microscopic protein fragments known as beta-amyloid, Nixon says. Some researchers say problems in the production, accumulation, or disposal of beta-amyloid fragments are what causes Alzheimer's.
But Nixon says his findings suggest there are alternative pathways that also could be targets of drug therapy and that the toxic buildup of amyloid may not be responsible for all the ''havoc'' in the brain.
Although the finding may seem to be helpful only for early-onset disease, not so, Nixon says. "The gene is mutated only in early onset, but the disruption it causes is seen not only in this form but in all forms," he says. The same type of damage is seen in regular Alzheimer's but perhaps occurs by a different mechanism, he says. What they learn in the future about how to correct the effects of the presenilin 1 mutations may apply to late-onset disease, too.

page 4 - Sports-car Tsunami
Mazda and Nissan are back in the fast lane with the RX-8 and revived Z, as Mitsubishi ponders taking its RPM 7000 off the beaten path.
By March 1, 2001 / Photos by Koichi Ohtani
Nissan Z
Photos by Jeff Allen
It was a dark day for Japanese sports-car enthusiasts when Nissan announced the discontinuation of the 300ZX in the U.S. Not only was the Z series a pioneer in its fieldcreating the popular affordable Japanese performance-car genre with the 240Z back in 1970it had evolved into a venerable machine that more than held its own against the best from Europe. "What a waste, what a pity," I remember saying back then. "Does Nissan know what it's doing?"
In hindsight, you could say that it had no idea. Without the 300ZX, Nissan found itself with no strong performance image and direction. Although the company desperately attempted to convey brand excitement to the car-buying public by featuring the 300ZX in a number of catchy television commercials (even after the car was taken off the automotive shelf), the effort proved futile. The ensuing years saw Nissan's sales numbers and reputation slowly sink to the point where it needed someone to bail it out. After Renault took over the reins, its first order of business was to get Nissan out of the red as quickly as possible. Carlos Ghosn (pronounced gohn), the newly-appointed COO and president of Nissan, set his revival plan into immediate action. Plants were closed, jobs were cut, longtime suppliers were let go. But the one element that stood out in Ghosn's presentation was that a new Z remained in his plans.
"We will build the Z, and on an all-new platform" he said assuredly. "We believe this car to be very important to the Nissan brand, especially in the U.S. and Europe. We are scheduling the car to go on sale in mid-2002 as a 2003 model."
Upon hearing the news, I immediately visited Shiro Nakamura, Nissan's design director. I asked, "Will the new Z look anything like the Z Concept that we saw last year?" (See cover story, March 1999.)
"No," he replied. "The new car will not be retro at all. But we do intend to keep the `Z' DNA intact. We want people to be able to immediately recognize the car as a Z as soon as they lay eyes on it."
As you can see, there is nothing at all retro about the styling of this new Z Concept, introduced at the North American International Auto Show in January. The production version will look very much like the show car you see on these pages (I've heard reports of this car being "90 percent there"). The face is unique and aggressive, with long, vertically-aligned headlights and a compact, stout body highlighted by flared front fenders and extremely short overhangs.
When viewed from its profile, you can see traces of the Audi TT and Porsche 911 in the roofline, but everything else about the car is quite original, especially the taillights and how they droop toward the flared rear fenders. Also, custom-built 20-in. wheels, shod with Bridgestone Potenzas255/35R-20 up front and 275/35R-20 at the rearcontribute to the car's muscular appearance. The new 2-seater measures about 170 in. from front to rear, with a 106.5-in. wheelbase, making it about the same size as a Porsche Boxster. A convertible version will also be offered at the same time as the coupe.
It's a completely different story inside the show car. Here one can see traces of retro design, most notably in the angular presentation of the dash and the steering wheel; the latter looks as if it were pulled out of the Datsun pickup parts bin. That said, the metal and leather surfaces give the cabin a futuristic flavor.

Denise and omegaet, I have been corresponding with a private guide I am considering employing for a day or two while in Peru. He has invited me to leave the tourist restaurants behind for a day and go in search of traditional foods and homemade chicha. I know both of you have spent time in Peru and I recalled some comments omegaet had posted some time ago regarding drinking homemade chicha in Ecuador.

So what are your thoughts Denise and omegaet, should I go for it and try the real stuff? This is probably my one and only trip to Peru.
I have that emergency medical evacuation insurance provided by American Express, just in case.

Paul Klee's Art
Paul Klee was not childish, despite frequent comparisons between his art and that of children...
... At the Phillips Collection, where 80 works by the Swiss-born modernist were exhibited this fall (they are now at the Menil Collection in Houston, through January 14, 2007), the link with children's art was made explicit by an adjoining room filled with the sort of masterpieces proud parents affix to refrigerator doors. A few of these are delightful - my personal favorite is A Visit to The DIA [Detroit Institute of Arts], by 11-year-old Gregory Stafford, which shows dinosaurs strolling through an art museum, gazing at paintings and sculptures of dinosaurs much like themselves. Rarely have I seen such eloquent tribute to art as mimesis - in the words of the German scholar Wilhelm Worringer, "The criterion of judgment to which we cling as something axiomatic, is, as I have said, approximation to reality."
Most child artists fail to achieve anything like an approximation to reality, but we forgive them, because we assume their failure is not deliberate. For example, the jump ropers in seven-year-old Mikako Sugai's Skipping have limbs curved like rubber hoses, with no discernible joints. We smile, because we expect that one day soon, young Mikako will learn how to draw elbows and knees. But what about Klee's The Angler (1921), in which a sketchy little man teeters on the edge of an even sketchier pier, holding what appears to be a lead-weighted fishing line? His limbs are also curved like rubber hoses. Plus his face is distorted by an X on the forehead, a double mouth, and a reversed ear. And both this fishing line and the leg of the pier trail off in a bluish haze that deepens to indigo on all sides.
Is The Angler a thwarted stab at realism? Jawohl! decreed Adolf Ziegler, president of the Reich Chamber of Visual Arts, when commissioned by Joseph Goebbels "to select and secure for an exhibition works of German degenerate art." In the summer of 1937, 16,000 modernist works were seized from German museums and collections, and The Angler was one of 650 chosen for the Entartete Kunst ("Degenerate Art") exhibition that toured Germany and Austria for the next four years. In that notorious show, which attracted 3 million viewers, the works were displayed alongside scrawled inflammatory slogans, and in some cases, photographs of deformed or visibly deranged individuals. Seventeen Klees were included as examples of "idiotic art" spewed out by a "primitive" mind mired in "disorder" and "confusion."
Eerily, Klee's angler looks as though he could see this coming. Alone on his shaky pier, in a faint glow surrounded by darkness, he grimaces as he drops his line into the void. By 1921, when Klee made this picture, he was already quite successful. His work had been shown at two cutting-edge galleries in Munich and at the new Société Anonyme in New York; two scholars had written monographs about him; and American collectors such as Arthur Jerome Eddy and Katherine Dreier were starting to buy. (The support he received from Americans, and from Germans living in the States, notably Emmy "Galka" Scheyer, is the focus of the Phillips exhibition.) Nineteen-twenty-one was also when Klee began teaching at a new, experimental arts and crafts school in Weimar called the Bauhaus. Founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius, it bobbed like a white-and-beige cork on wave after wave of political chaos and economic catastrophe, relocating to Dessau in 1925 and then to Berlin in 1932, where in July 1933 it was finally sunk by Hitler.
From Bauhaus to Our House, Tom Wolfe's hilarious send-up of modernism's impact on American architecture, aims many a barb at the "white gods" who emigrated to the United States in the 1930s. To Wolfe, it was a disaster when figures like Marcel Breuer (inventor of tubular steel furniture), Josef Albers (painter of squares), Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (progenitor of nine-tenths of the Ikea catalogue), and Mies van der Rohe (father of Glass Box Row, otherwise known as Sixth Avenue) became idols to the "savages" in "colonial" America. All the more striking, then, to read Wolfe's admiring take on Gropius's arrival: "Gropius had the healthy self-esteem of any ambitious man, but he was a gentleman above all else, a gentleman of the old school, a man who was always concerned about a sense of proportion, in life as well as design. As a refugee from a blighted land, he would have been content with a friendly welcome, a place to lay his head, two or three meals a day until he could get on his own feet, a smile every once in a while, and a chance to work, if anybody needed him."
Of course, as Wolfe notes, Gropius stepped into a good gig as head of Harvard's Graduate School of Design. Yet unlike certain of his peers, Gropius was not an egomaniac out to clone himself. Rather he was a prudent man whose leadership style resembled that of Duke Ellington: recruit the top talent and give them their heads, up to a point (the trick being to find the point). By his own testimony, Gropius sought "men who would work, not automatically as an orchestra obeys its conductor's baton, but independently although in close cooperation." This laid-back style may help to explain why Klee stuck around for seven years, despite never really buying into the program stated in the Bauhaus Manifesto: "Let us create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist. Together let us conceive and create the new building of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will rise one day toward heaven in the hands of a million workers, like the crystal symbol of a new faith."
Ignoring these grandiose aims, Klee devoted himself to the demanding, apprentice-style craft workshops that were the Bauhaus's chief distinction. As a fine artist, his job was to lecture on such hands-off, "formal" topics as geometry, volume, colour, and design. But he never scorned the hands-on, "practical" side. In the bookbinding workshop he plumbed the mysteries of paper, ink, and glue; in the weaving workshop at Dessau, he learned about dyes and textiles from masters like Gunta Stölzl. The results can be seen in such lovely works as Arabian Song (1932), painted with thinned oils on rough jute and evoking not only the beauty of a veiled women (whose eyes look directly at you) but also the actual fabric of her chador.
Two other works on jute, Gaze of Silence (1932) and Angst (1934), also look at you, if less directly. Gaze of Silence offers a stylized eye painted in green, brown, and gold, which conjures thoughts of an owl, a masked man, or some other being with a cool, steady, disconcerting gaze. Angst, painted in pale gouache on jute coated with chalk, is more dynamic: the eye shrinks to the left while glancing back (with a red vertical slit of a pupil) at amoeba-like tentacles clutching at it from the right. Some of the tentacles contain arrows, a favorite hieroglyph of Klee's, which indicate both motion and threat. Mostly the eye appears trapped, bound to the clutching tentacles by a sort of ligament. The image is that of a mind trapped by its own fears.
When Klee made these evocative pictures, he was no longer at the Bauhaus. Gropius departed for England in 1928, and his successor, the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer, was a Marxist who steered the Bauhaus toward strictly functional design, mass production, and the scientifically proven need of the proletariat to live in sterile, featureless housing projects. Three years later, Meyer took a group of students to Moscow to help Stalin build the modernist future, but the Leader of Humanity preferred the Socialist-Classicist ("wedding cake") style, and Meyer was deported in 1936. The buildings he bequeathed to Dessau and East Berlin are so ugly, even the Bauhaus-Archiv Museum of Design describes them as "void [sic] of any creative component," "angular," "poor in detail," and having "quite a parsimonious appearance."
Both Stalin and Hitler hated abstraction and loved representational realism. Because of this, the former got a good rap after the war, the latter a bad one. In the 1940s, when New York was the art capital of the world and abstract expressionism the triumphant style, art lovers were exhorted not to look for recognizable images but to focus on formal elements like color, scale, paint quality, and (Clement Greenberg's obsession) "the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat surface." Artists who cared about subject matter were considered less "advanced," and many fine representational painters and sculptors were shut out of the booming art market. Today, of course, the art market has boomed itself into senile dementia, with the world's number one artist (according to ArtReview Magazine) being Damien Hirst, the aging YBA (Young British Artist) best known for his 1990s installations featuring animal carcasses and maggots.
Before I say something verboten about degenerate art, let us return to the Third Reich. It's worth noting that only 23 of the surviving pieces from the Entartete Kunst exhibition are totally non-representational (16 of them by Klee's friend Wassily Kandinsky). Toward such art, the official charge was "sheer insanity." More severe were the attacks on works with recognizable but unacceptable subject matter: prostitutes, non-Aryans, the horrors of war, corrupt officials. (These subjects would have been taboo even if rendered in the approved stilted academic style.) Severest of all were the attacks on "barbarism of representation," meaning "conscious disregard for the basics of technique," "garish spattering of color," and "deliberate distortion of drawing." These sins were not redeemable by inoffensive subject matter - indeed, some of the worst venom was hurled at landscapes, still lifes, and religious pictures done in the style of expressionism, fauvism, cubism, or some other "ism" that got up the Führer's nose.
Why did the Nazis make such a fuss about art that was neither fully abstract nor fully representational? Could it be that they understood, albeit perversely, that ordinary people often enjoy such art? What do untutored museum-goers say when confronted with a totally abstract piece by Kandinsky or Pollock? Usually something like "Look, there's a face," "That is definitely a horse," or "I heard he was diagramming his own brain waves." Told not to play these guessing games, museum-goers get frustrated. Why can't the damn artist offer a hint, a clue, something for us to grab onto? Give us that, and most of us will accept, even relish, large amounts of what the Nazis dubbed "distortion." Especially if it looks beautiful.
Klee understood this, which is why his titles are user-friendly. Every museum-goer knows what it's like to read arrogantly obscurantist titles like Hegemonic Aurora, Convolution XIV, Up Yours, and the ubiquitous Untitled. Visit a Klee exhibition, and you'll feel welcomed by helpful, often witty titles like Little Regatta, The Twittering Machine, Sketch in the Manner of a Carpet, Conjuring Trick, Arches of the Bridge Stepping Out of Line, Lonely Flower, and The Sick Heart. What these titles represent is a burning desire to communicate what lies hidden beneath outward appearances - a motive very far from obscurantism. And it is this desire to make visible what is invisible, not some imagined freedom from the rigors of art-making, that forges the true link between Klee's art and that of children.
Klee was interested in children's art because he occupied the middle ground between representation and abstraction. Children occupy that same ground, for two reasons: perceptual freshness and technical incapacity. But unlike countless postwar art educators, Klee did not think that the way to preserve the freshness was by prolonging the incapacity. No art without craft, was his credo. As he explained in a 1924 lecture, "Our pounding heart drives us down, deep down to the source of all. What springs from this source - whatever it may be called, dream, idea, or fantasy - must be taken seriously only if it unites with the proper creative means to form a work of art." (Emphasis added) By "proper creative means," he did not mean fingerpaint.
Even though Gropius's successor Hannes Meyer had no use for what he contemptuously called "the individual emotional activity of an artist," Klee stayed at the Bauhaus until 1930, at which point he took what he hoped would be a secure job at the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts. But in 1935 he was fired and forced to flee with his wife Lily to his home town of Bern, Switzerland, where he lived until 1940, suffering from schleroderma but producing an amazing body of work. When he died at age 60, the world was plunged in war, and it hardly seemed as though one individual's painstakingly wrought little pictures (most of them less than two feet on a side) would end up towering over the grandiose cultural projects of Hitler and Stalin. But mercifully (and with a little help from Klee's American friends), they did.

are there any good psychics in the Los Angeles area that are accurate and not ridiculously expensive?
by the way, i'm not asking about ME being psychic, I'm looking to see if anyone else around is a good psychic that does this professionally.
Suggestion by Rondi
I don't no where she is but try Sylvia Brown from the Montel show she is really good
Suggestion by hope
If you were psychic, you would know this answer. It is not something that can be taught.
Suggestion by VanJohn ♫
I can foretell already that you will not find an inexpensive psychic that is good at what they do.
Have you ever been to a psychic that was accurate with a reading?
Just wondering if if anyone believes in psychics.
Suggestion by imgeminirising
Generally I would be skeptical, but I have had at least three totally right on interpretations said to me by very psychic strangers. One incident was at a party and I got a very strong reaction to a female who entered the room…she walked over to me and said something she could not have possibly known about me…just her presence made me antsy…turned out there were others who got this off vibe off of her. It made more sense when I found out she was a five way Scorpio!
So, I can't say it's impossible for someone to have these abilities.
Are you thinking of going? You should just to see what it's like…you may be surprised!
Suggestion by lala
Yes ; I had seen psychic who were very accurate
Are psychic accurate about seeing your future?
I want to see if my life will be better later.
Suggestion by Michael
y not as long as you dont get ripped off like some dude paid like 2000buks on another one of the questions

No, its a scam.
Yes, your life will be better later, but not straight away,.
Athough you have had a hard life and lost someone close to you, things are not going to get better in the near future.
You will suffer one more loss, before your life turns around and your loss is filled with the joy of another.

You're a quiet person when you don't know most people around you, but can be quite outgoing if you need to. You speak your mind and have strong values. You try not to let life get your down and can get pretty sad sometimes but you are generally a happy person.
