Purple, green, yellow, pink and red dusted the streets of Richmond Hill Saturday during the Phagwah Festival, a Hindu celebration of the triumph of good over evil and the coming of the spring season.
"This is a time when people forget all differences and indulge in pure fun," said Sam Somwaru, one of the many revelers at the festival and a member of the American Statya Sandya temple in Jamaica.
The most characteristic aspect of the occasion involves colorful powder, or "abeer," which people use to paint themselves or brush onto others — or even throw into the air so the powder rains down on all around.
"It symbolizes the spring colors," Somwaru said.
But Somwaru said Phagwah is also a time of togetherness, joining together not only people of the Hindu faith but also people of all different religions and cultures to overcome their differences and enjoy the festival.
"You forget about your enemies and everyone becomes friends," he said.
A large crowd filled with many young people turned out for Saturday's Richmond Hill Phagwah Festival, which included a parade that wound its way along Liberty Avenue and 125th Street and featured floats, dancers, blaring music and multi-colored confetti.
Several vendors along the route played music from their stores or handed out fliers to passers-by to compete for business. The co-owner of a flea market along Liberty Avenue even went so far as to set up a microphone and speakers outside his shop and amplify his message asking people to stop in to check out his merchandise.
The owner, Hamid Mohammed, said the parade makes for good business, and he saw a huge spike in sales during the event last year.
Another man who works at a Chinese and Indian restaurant, Players, said the same.
"It helps all the businesses in our area," Darshan Prashad said.
The parade culminated in a raucous celebration with music, dancing — and, of course, color — at Smokey Oval Park.
Nearly all the revelers had at least some powder on their faces or clothes, and many were drenched in color from head to toe. Some people filled water guns with colored water and playfully squirted others, while groups of mostly teens and young adults got lost in clouds of powder as they mischievously threw it at each other. A person walking through the crowd for five minutes was virtually guaranteed to have a smiling stranger walk up to them and smear power on their cheeks.
One young man who was running through the crowd with several friends and dusting the people they passed in color said he came to the parade every year.
He said he was having a good time, which is what Phagwah was all about.
"You have to enjoy every last bit of it," Amil Heeraman said.

When you have your own clothing range, there's always the danger that someone else will be wearing your clothes at the same time as you.
And that's exactly what happened to Tulisa yesterday as she turned up to sign copies of her album 'The Female Boss'.
The 'X Factor' judge, who was at a signing in Birmingham, was sporting her favourite jumper from her TFB by Tulisa for Bank range when one of her fans picked the same outfit for the occasion.
It features her signature unicorn emblem which mirrors her favourite tattoo - a unicorn on her back which represents freedom.
But luckily she didn't seem to mind the fashion faux-pas and laughed it off with a hug.
However, she may have more trouble laughing off reviews of her album, as it has come in for widespread criticism, with one reviewer branding her a 'Primark Rihanna' for her efforts.
The former N-Dubz singer performed new single 'Sight Of You' on 'The X Factor' on Sunday and also attracted negative comments over her vocals.

The best value in digital Bible study is Bible Gateway Plus! Try it free for 30 days.
That is, 1. The wicked are oftentimes impoverished and brought low, so that they are forced to beg, their wickedness having reduced them to straits; while good men, by the blessing of God, are enriched, and enabled to give, and do give, even to the evil; for where God grants life we must not deny a livelihood. 2. Sometimes God extorts, even from bad men, an acknowledgement of the excellency of God's people. The evil ought always to bow before the good, and sometimes they are made to do it and to know that God has loved them, Rev. 3:9. They desire their favour (Est. 7:7), their prayers, 2 Kgs. 3:12. 3. There is a day coming when the upright shall have the dominion (Ps. 49:14), when the foolish virgins shall come begging to the wise for oil, and shall knock in vain at that gate of the Lord at which the righteous entered.

Alas, it wasn't a joke, although the world chess championship is rapidly descending into farce. The battle to stage the match between Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short is now a bizarre jigsaw of increasingly disreputable negotiations.
Consider last week's developments: the Times issued a statement that the players had accepted its bid to run the match; the London Evening Standard, part of a rival consortium, said that they hadn't; the Times replied with a story saying how happy Kasparov was that such a reputable newspaper was involved at all, and that he was sure everything would turn out fine in the end; and then the Manchester Evening News joined in with an interview with Raymond Keene, the Times's chess correspondent and the moving force behind its bid, in which he offered to share the match between London and Manchester.
It looked odd next to the front- page story in the same day's Times, full of self-congratulation at bringing the match to London. Particularly when the main rival bidder wanted to stage the whole match in London anyway.
'The Times will be a credibility card for us in this venture,' said Kasparov. He and Short certainly need one, for the whole breakaway venture has been condemned by the chess world.
'I have spoken to over 60 grandmasters,' said Murray Chandler, one of England's leading players, 'and the only ones who support Short and Kasparov are those with a direct financial interest.' Other British grandmasters described Short's actions at various points on a scale from 'regrettable' to 'hypocritical' via 'opportunistic'. The Times judiciously described this as a 'mixed response'.
It was all so simple a month ago. There were three bidders - Manchester, the London Chess Group, and IMG/Channel 4 - and the world chess body FIDE awarded the match to Manchester as the only bid conforming to their strict rules. Informed of the decision, Short phoned Kasparov, who phoned Keene, and a plot was hatched to hijack the world championship. Announcing the formation of a new organisation, they re-opened the bidding.
On 28 February, David Levy, a business partner and former brother-in-law of Keene, faxed Manchester with this offer: 'We would be more than happy to act as consultants on the basis that we receive no fee unless we are able to help you succeed in your aim of bringing the Short-Kasparov match to Manchester.' The fax was headed: 'We think we can help you solve your problem.' Someone in Manchester scrawled beneath it the words 'We think you caused it.'
On 4 March, not having received a reply from Manchester, Keene and Levy offered advice to the London Chess Group, who decided to ignore it after spotting an item, under the heading 'Organisational Budget', of pounds 170,000 for 'expert organisational team, hired for 7.5 months'.
After bids were opened, the choice was quickly narrowed to the Times (bidding pounds 1.5m plus pounds 200,000 guaranteed residuals) or the London Chess Group bidding pounds 2m plus residuals to be negotiated. The players appear to be favouring the Times bid, even though it is lower.
Several disturbing questions remain unanswered:
Why, if the London Chess Group bid was considered suspect, was Matthew Patten, who headed the consortium, never told of any queries or doubts about the validity of his figures?
Why did the Times say that the players had accepted their bid, when all they had signed was an agreement to negotiate exclusively with the Times for 14 days?
Why was Nigel Short so furious when he learned that the Times had issued a statement about the agreement? Was it because, as Keene says, 'He may not have totally understood what he signed', or was it, as sources close to Short indicate, that the players had an unequivocal agreement not to publicise anything until the contract had been finalised?
Why did the Times, on the strength of its own announcement that it had won the match, contact London Forum, part of the London Chess Group consortium, to ask for their support? Why did Times representatives contact another major backer of the London Chess Group? 'They phoned us,' said Keene of both these initiatives, but Janie Joel, communications manager of London Forum, was adamant: 'No,' she said, 'the Times phoned us.'
Lastly, why, if the Times's own bid of pounds 1.7m is so solid, is it sniffing so eagerly at the doors of other sponsors before the contract is signed with the players?
The deal will no doubt be done, and the match will go ahead, and Nigel Short, even on the loser's share of the purse, will be much richer. But his role in the whole affair may have permanently tarnished his image as the golden boy of British chess.

Special Moments
Her smell so tender
her touch so petite
the touch of mystery
that holds my heart complete.
From first time we met
chemistry was climbing
on steady paced time
times we shared I'll never forget .
You are my sunshine
the spotlight of my day,
your my wish upon a star
forever I wish our love portray.
Have you ever wondered why I get so protective?
reason why I get nervous when you leave ?
for when your gone I hope to believe
you'll come back in my arms my ultimate elective.
Your family is insane
watch your move mom gave the look
Your dad was a christian that preached the book.
for she is my life, the drug i no to keep me sane.
For we will fly those clouds
no worries, no stress, no drama
just me and you against the crowd
for no obstacle will pull us part
we're that a love song with an never ending depart.

When I last spoke about Thief in my Most Anticipated post, I was extremely excited to play a proper stealth game that gave you endless possibilities when it comes to completing a mission. Yet upon an actual play through I was surprised and disappointed at how linear this supposedly open game was. As you play through the campaign as Garrett, a master thief who lives in the shadows and steals anything from expensive jewelry to a dinner spoon, you come to realise how little choice there is when it comes to finishing missions.
Each mission forces you to take certain routes to proceed to the next area, with narrow corridors and armed guards promoting the use of stealth throughout. The missions are lovely to look at, with a Bioshock-esque feeling to the graphics and movement, and it is great to traverse through a freaky asylum or a colourful brothel and overhear interesting conversations between NPCs that could help you find one of the few alternate routes through the map.
Side Missions Are Key
The most fun you will have in Thief is through the side-missions where there is a huge amount of choice on how to complete the mission, unlike in the main campaign where you are limited in your choices. I wish that Eidos Montreal had made the main campaign more similar to that of Dishonored and give players more freedom to do as they please, not as how the developers envisioned it.
Stealth in Thief is absolutely the best way to go. There is a certain thrill of lurking in the shadows a few metres away from a guard and being able to pickpocket him or open a safe without him ever knowing you were there. When playing on a high difficulty, you really have to learn guard's walking patterns and be able to flit in and out of the shadows without being caught. This is where Garrett's swoop special ability comes in handy, giving him the ability to speedily move ten metres in silence in order to avoid the highly astute eyes of the guardsmen.
Unfortunately, the game-play really stumbles when Garrett does get spotted by guards and an unbelievably clunky combat scenario occurs. Players have to dodge and strike enemies but this becomes far too difficult when there is more than one guard or if there is no easy way of running away. There is a huge difference between having difficult combat to encourage stealthiness and the highly flawed and frustrating combat that Thief dumps on you. Combat just isn't fun and it makes the game feel quite cheap and boring if you ever do have to fight your way out of a sticky situation.
Hidden in the Shadows
Combat isn't the only clunky thing that plagues Thief; moving around can be a real pain, especially climbing up and down from ledges which is an integral part of a game that utilises height to move around. Sometimes Garrett will just climb a ledge with ease and others he won't move at all or won't climb a ledge that is half his height. This makes the game feel incredibly linear and limits options when it comes to having a unique gaming experience. It also can be a nuisance when trying to make a quick getaway from a crossbow guard who is about to stick a bolt in the back of your head.
Garrett has a huge number of items at his disposal and for the most part they are incredibly useful, especially the broad-head arrows for killing guards that you just can't avoid. However, some of the items have a very limited use and just seem to be added in for the sake of it. Also the game gets quite infuriating when there is a limit to the number of arrows you can carry but no limit to the amount of junk you can steal from a mission. Little things like that get very annoying throughout Garrett's adventure and they all add up to leave some bitterness in my mouth.
From the rather convoluted plot which rarely enticed me into caring about any of the characters or about the story as a whole, Garrett is awoken after a yearlong slumber tasked with overthrowing the evil baron of 'The City'. Garrett narrates the whole game but his poor voice acting doesn't emit any emotion and makes listening to his droning voice for the 12-14 hour play through rather dull. There are a huge number of glitches in Thief, with background conversations constantly looping or each character speaking the same sentence twice and interrupting other conversations. Along with frequent drops in frame-rate, this makes Thief feel quite unfinished and unrefined.
Broken City, Broken Story
The plot is nothing special, but The City really could be interesting and fun to roam around in; if it wasn't for constant stoppages for loading screens that take up to half a minute to move you from one area to the next. This completely jars up the game-play and removes any sense of fluidity when carrying out side missions or navigating around the highly confusing map. There are a number of secret areas in and out of missions that are really difficult to get into but have no worthwhile reward when finally solving the agonizing puzzles that accompany them. Most of the time it doesn't feel worth it to find the extra areas and it wasn't too fun to actually get into them.
However, solving puzzles and finding secret doors is made much easier by Garrett's focus power that lights up objects of interest and can assist in combat and stealth. Garrett can upgrade his focus power to make combat much easier which does take away some of the challenge, but the combat is so poor that this is the best thing to do to get it over and done with.
Thief was a game with a huge amount of potential, based on a series with a high pedigree and was competition for the amazing Dishonored. However, with a forgettable, linear story with awful voice acting and far too many glitches, Thief just doesn't manage to steal my heart. The stealth can't be faulted and the side missions are great fun, but this is all brought down by the numerous flaws and general laziness on the developer's part.

They brought you into the world, now show them you care with these creative ways to say thank you! (expert advice)
photo by: Gifts for the Good Life
Your parents have played a very big role in making your wedding spectacular. Not only did they raise you into the beautiful bride-to-be that you are, they've stood beside you through all your planning stress, offered their suggestions, and they may be funding the affair. Your parents, and your fiancé's, definitely deserve a huge thank you. Set a Budget I don't have to tell you that weddings are expensive - I'm sure you're learning that! It's important to include gift giving in your original wedding budget. There are no rules specifying an amount you should spend on gifts for your parents, but it's best to spend the same amount on both sets and to choose gifts that are somewhat similar. Some couples decide to give their parents a gift for the two of them while others select 2 separate gifts for mom and dad. Thank You Gifts for Two Giving your parents a thank you gift to enjoy together can be very meaningful and can also allow you to spend a little more on each gift. Depending on your budget, consider: Travel. Cruise tickets, hotel reservations for the weekend, or a romantic retreat to a local resort are all possible gift ideas. An evening out. Whether it's a gift card for a favorite restaurant, tickets to a show or a complete night of pampering including the limo, your parents deserve a night out to unwind after the wedding. Gift baskets. Wine baskets, gourmet food collections, or personalized his and her gift sets are terrific ways to say thank you and can fit into most any budget. Something personal. Creative gifts often hold the most meaning. Consider making a personalized video or slideshow for each set of parents, presenting them with a family photo calendar, or framing your favorite wedding pictures for a sentimental touch. Digital photo frames with a personal message are big hits with parents. For Him, For Her You may decide to honor your mom and dad with individual gifts rather than a joint thank you. If you've set a large budget, you could even do both! Ideas for dads: Personalized cufflinks to wear on the wedding day. Gift certificate to a favorite store. Wine and cheese assortment. Personalized golf accessories. Pens, intriguing paperweights, monogrammed money clips or key chains. Mothers may enjoy: Spa certificates. Earrings or a necklace for the wedding day. Bath soaps, candles, and fragrances in an elegant gift basket. Personalized photo albums, frames, or a jewelry box. Charm bracelet or necklace with a family theme. Consider your parents' interests and you'll be sure to choose thank you gifts that your parents appreciate and remember for years to come - whatever your budget.
Yes, we love candy, koozies, and potted succulents as much as the next wedding fanatic, but sometimes you just need to think outside of the box. Here are a few wedding favor ideas that truly break the mold.
Condiments and Spices
Olive oil is a popular wedding favor these days, but if there's a condiment that you and your spouse love, share it with your guests! We've seen ketchup, mustard, Tabasco, as well as various seasonings (Old Bay, BBQ rubs, etc.).

Temporary Tattoos
Yeah, it's a little offbeat, but it's certainly hip and will get your guests talking. Offer up an array of temporary tats for your guests to enjoy. Who knows, maybe your Grandma will partake (can you imagine that photo?).

This might be a little labor-intensive, but we love the idea of picking out a book for each guest (or couple) to take home. Handwriting a personalized note inside is a great touch. What an amazing keepsake for your nearest and dearest!

These are pretty quirky, but adorable, too! Offer your guests a selection of pins to affix to their attire and take home.

Pottery or Handmade Crafts
We love how this bride used her pottery-making skills to create ceramic bowls for all of her guests. If you have crafting or cooking skills, use them to create gifts for your guests (but don't overwhelm yourself by taking on a too-huge task!).

Cotton Candy in a Box
Fact: Guests love sweet treats. But instead of cookies or candy, try something a bit more whimsical with cotton candy stored in a takeout box. What a fun treat for guests of all ages!

Fresh Fruit
Give your favors a healthful touch by providing your guests with fresh fruit. From berries to pineapples, peaches to apples, think seasonal and local when it comes to picking your produce.

Whether your ceremony is long or short, you want your guests to be comfortable during the proceedings. Gift your nearest and dearest with useful items pre-ceremony to make sure this important event is even more memorable and enjoyable.
Ceremony Programs
Your guests will have a lot of questions during the ceremony. Who's in the bridal party? What types of rituals should I expect? What's that song? Answer your guests' questions by providing them with programs – or post a sign that includes all of the pertinent information.

Something to Drink
In warmer weather, provide your guests with a refreshment either before the ceremony, or if drinks are allowed in your venue, during the event. Bottled water is a good bet, since it's in a sealable container that's less likely to spill – and a custom label adds a cute, personal touch.

Fans can be a nice giveaway for indoor or outdoor ceremony in warmer climates. And by printing your ceremony programs on a fan, it will do double duty.

If your outdoor ceremony is under a blazing sun, your guests will appreciate having the extra shade.

It's a good idea to check out your ceremony location at the exact time when you're planning on getting married. If you're concerned your guests will be squinting in the sun, sunglasses are a good favor idea.

Shawls or Blankets
Depending where you're getting married, there may be a risk of a slight chill in the air during the spring and fall seasons. That doesn't mean you should avoid an outdoor ceremony entirely, but consider your guests' comfort by providing them with shawls or blankets to cuddle up with.

Place boxes of tissues at the end of every row in case your guests shed some (happy!) tears.

Something Fun for the Recessional
Whether it's confetti, ribbon wands, streamers, flower petals, or something completely different, asking your guests to wave or toss something during the recessional can add a fun celebratory element and make for a great photo op!

Favors are a thoughtful way to express gratitude to your guests on your wedding day. Don't hesitate to be creative and offer a parting gift that lasts beyond its time at the reception. We have compiled a list of unique and stunning favors that will have your guests abuzz.
Photo by Blaine Photography
Potted Plants
Far superior to fresh blooms that eventually wither to expiration, potted plants offer a great keepsake. Succulents work best, with sturdy and elegant blooms that take very little gardening knowledge to keep alive. These potted plants breathe life into the reception space while offering a parting gift to your guests that continues to grow.
Seed Cards
As a creative solution to favors that never get used, cards that are embedded with seeds are the perfect favor for travelers, gardeners and green-minded guests alike. Light and practical, seed cards can easily slide into your guests' suitcases or purses and then be planted later at the guests' leisure. Further, the seed cards can be personalized with your wedding date, your names, a photo or your favorite quote, inspiring your guests to let love bloom.
Gift Boxes
Glossy gift boxes with an embellished top present a classic Tiffany's take on presentation that will have your guests wowing. Dress up the boxes with personalized gift tags or shiny ribbons, and place truffles, cookies or some other sweet treats inside.
Use a bigger, triangular box to give your guests a slice of wedding cake to take home as a delicious parting gift. If you're opting for a candy buffet for dessert in lieu of or in addition to cake, give your guests a beautifully decorated bag or box to take their goodies home in.
Ingredients of Love
Pay homage to a lost loved one's recipe or introduce your guests to a family favorite with the ingredients of your favorite banana bread or sugar cookies. Using old-fashioned mason jars, layer the dry ingredients in a pretty pattern of varying colors. Tie a ribbon or jute rope around the lid with an attractive tag that lists the remaining ingredients and the recipe. For an added touch, include a mini-tin for your guests to bake the ingredients in.
Topiary Place-Card Holders
Place-card holders are a lovely way to dress up a reception, but miniature topiaries offer a stately touch to the table. Enchanting guests with the freshness of nature, most place-card topiaries come with a card clip tucked discreetly in the foliage. A charming favor to take home, the tiny tree can be displayed on a guest's desk to hold photos or postcards or in the kitchen or bathroom for an elegant effect.
Mini-Lantern Tealight Holder
An evening outdoor reception can be set aglow with the ambiance of candlelight. With windproof miniature lanterns, the tealight holders can be hung from branches, grouped in different levels on the reception tables and staircases, or gathered for a dramatic centerpiece. Illuminating your special evening with candlelight adds a romantic and stylish setting as well as allows your guests to take a lantern home for dark nights.
Napkin Rings
As a practical and tasteful favor, stylish napkin rings can be embossed and polished with the words or finish of your choice. Have them personalized with traditional advice of "Live, Laugh, Love" or "Eat, Drink and Be Merry," a heartfelt line from your vows, or your own words of wisdom. The tone of the reception will be graciously set, and guests will enjoy the rings on their own tables.
A Chance to Win Big
Giving out scratch lottery tickets is a fun favor that your guests will be more than happy to open. Affix a lucky penny to each ticket so that people can start scratching right away. Place the tickets in envelopes and guests can grab theirs on the way out the door, or attach them to a tree or large plant with decorative ribbon or a pretty string.

PRESENTATIONUse a color scheme that matches your wedding palette: wedding colors aren't just for the flowers and bridesmaids dresses! Taking advantage of the colors you've already established can enhance your candy table's presence, and bring cohesion to your entire reception. Create depth and height in your display: with simple boxes or even phone books, you can sculpt a beautiful landscape on your table. You can wrap the boxes in decorative paper, or even leave them bare and covered with matching linens for a refined, free-flowing cascade. Take advantage of your centerpieces: whether they be flowers, candles, or tiny little goldfish, using an extra centerpiece or two will not only tie into the rest of your reception, but it can also add life and freshness to your candy table. Don't be afraid to use trimmings: details like good quality linens, ribbons, and paper can add nice touches to your overall display. Less is more: trimmings are definitely your friends, but don't go overboard! Too many space fillers can potentially clutter your table and cause sensory overload! Consider the table: where will it be located? Will there be a nice backdrop or wall behind it for pictures? Or will it be open so people can access it from all sides? Will it even have sides, or will it be round? These are all good questions to ask yourself before deciding on a set-up design.
CANDYColor is key: as mentioned before, having a specific color scheme can really make your table pop. Monochromatic palettes can also be striking and elegant. Make sure to consider different hues and shades – for example, if your colors are red and brown, don't be afraid of using different shades of reds and pinks. If using primarily dark colors, try to use trimmings in lighter shades to bring energy to your table. Check the weather: Will it be hot or sunny? Will the table be indoors or outdoors? If indoor, will there be AC? If you're worried about warmth, save the stress and avoid candies that could easily melt (unfortunately this includes most chocolates)! Fruit seasons: if you're planning to use fresh fruit on your table (e.g. chocolate dipped strawberries), make sure you consider if they are even in season. Strawberries in the winter might not be as sweet as when they're at their peak in the summer! Not just candy: if you're open to treats in other forms, consider mini cookies, kettle corn, or spiced nuts as sweet additions. Placing the wedding cake or groom's cake on the same table can add visual diversity. Be creative: candy isn't just made to be eaten, but also to play with! Bundle large lollipops together like a bouquet of flowers, or skewer some marshmallows to simulate kabobs – the possibilities are endless. Keep it simple: having a variety of flavors and different types of candy can be satisfying to everyone, but don't be afraid to go with a specific flavor profile. Whether it be a gummy bear bar or a chocolate truffle tribute, your guests will definitely enjoy the sugar rush! Don't buy too much! It's easy to worry about not having enough for everyone, but if you're planning to include a meal and cake in your reception, guests probably won't be stuffing themselves with extra sugar. A small portion of ½ cup (4 oz) or less is a good estimate per person. If you want to buy in bulk for a visual effect, save large containers for popular candies so you won't have too many leftovers.

From monogrammed bags to personalized lockets, it's probably impossible to pour all the gratitude and love you feel in just one bridesmaid gift, but you'll have to pick something out and hopefully it will say more than just 'thank you.' With a bit of luck, some of the suggestions below will set you off on the right path towards selecting something memorable and appropriate for your bridesmaid gifts.

Traditional Bridesmaid Gifts
If you'd like to keep in line with traditional bridesmaid gifts, perhaps you'd like to concentrate on providing the lovely ladies in your life with jewelry for your wedding day. Matching necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even tiaras make great keepsakes. What about an engraved gift? Think silver jewelry boxes, lighters, flasks, toasting glasses, and key chains.
Bridesmaid Gifts on a Budget
When planning a wedding on a budget, you can still give sentimental bridesmaid gifts to your attending ladies. Never underestimate the power of an attractive gift bag. Helping out with a wedding takes a lot of time, energy, and patience. Don't you think your bridesmaids deserve a little relaxation? Create a goodie bag filled with scented candles, bubble bath, lotion, bath beads, and other soothing treats. What about the memories? And, when you're on a really tight budget, a box of chocolates is always a sweet way to say that you appreciate their presence at your wedding.
Luxury Bridesmaid Gifts
If you've really been a Bridezilla throughout the process of planning your wedding, then maybe you need to spring for bridesmaid gifts that truly pamper. Treat your bridesmaids to a day spa treatment. Purchase a beautiful cashmere sweater. Send your bridesmaids to a luxury hotel for one night, preferably one with a Jacuzzi. Perhaps, your bridesmaids have been neglecting their own better halves in order to help you plan your wedding, treat them both to a dinner for two at a ritzy restaurant. Silk nighties or pajamas are also quite special for the bridesmaids in your life.
Other Ideas for Bridesmaid Gifts
When looking for more ideas for bridesmaid gifts, allow your creativity to run wild. Consider their individual personalities and what would bring a smile to their faces. Don't be afraid to think outside of the box. Additional suggestions include:Cooking lessons with a master chef Free yoga sessions Handmade pottery Day of horseback riding Rock climbing adventure Scuba diving lessons MP3 player or iPod Tickets to a sporting event or concert Leather photo albums
See more ideas: Bow Gifts for Bridesmaids and Monogrammed Bridesmaid Gifts
Usually, on the night of the rehearsal dinner or early wedding day morning, the exchange of gifts takes place. The bridal party typically receives a token of gratitude, and the bride and groom also give gifts to one another. So, as if shopping for the love of your life wasn't hard enough, what could you possibly get him for his wedding present?
Photography by: Michael Moss
Hopefully, I can shed a bit of light on the subject and get your creative juices flowing.
Wedding Present Brainstorming for Him
Your future husband certainly has interests, which you should take full advantage of when it comes to locating his wedding present. What activities do you see him participating in? Is he completely obsessed when football season rolls around? Perhaps season tickets would be perfect for his wedding present.
Tap Into His Interests
Is your groom a technology fanatic, keeping his eye on all the latest gadgets and constantly tinkering with his iPhone? Take this fascination to heart and seek his wedding present at the local electronics shop, like Best Buy or Apple. Does he like to play video games? Well, then you're just in luck because there is a plethora of gaming accessories and software to consider. Keep a look out to how he reacts when a commercial for a new release is mentioned on TV.
Take Advantage of His Hobbies
Hobbies will come in handy when choosing his wedding present as well. Tap into the kinds of things that make him happy and you'll never go wrong. Perhaps he's a Babe Ruth fan and collects old baseball cards. What about his poker playing with friends over the weekend? Does he like to tune-up classic cars? Do you have a master griller in the house? Then, a new grill, personalized poker set, or vintage rookie cards from eBay might be just the kinds of things to consider for his wedding present.
The Music Man
For the man who enjoys his music, consider the joy of owning an MP3 player or iPod. Today, you can even combine music, movies, and phone use into one by choosing an iPod Touch - a product much similar to the iPhone.
Straight From the Heart
Sometimes, you just want to choose his wedding present because of sentimental reasons. Framed photos of the two of you together; a slideshow consisting of special moments; or a memento from the past can all become touching, heartfelt presents for your groom. Monogrammed or personalized or just plain shiny, a gold money clip is another great way to present your fiancé with a cherished wedding gift.

Is Long Memory a Property of Thin Stock Markets? International Evidence Using Arab Countries
The paper analyzes the long memory property of stock index returns in 14 markets with diverse levels of development. While the sample includes the developed stock markets of Japan, UK and USA, it also includes, in addition to the emerging markets of Brazil, India and Mexico, those of eight Arab countries as benchmarks of thin markets with the aim of investigating the link between fractional integration dynamics in stock returns and the level of stock market development. Using parametric and semi-parametric estimation procedures, the results show that the property of long-range dependence in stock index returns tend to be associated with relatively thin stock markets. Evidence from the Arab countries seems to suggest that long-memory might also be linked to the peculiar characteristics and the environment within which each stock market operates.

I'm working on my dd's xmas gift - a sack doll (her first doll). I've tried forming the head now about 5 times and it's still too soft! Am I missing something? Any tips on how to get a really firm head? I've tried stuffing the tubing, I've tried prerolling a ball and forming the cross of wool over it - always too soft! Could it be my wool?
Thank you! I decided to go with my original head, though it's a bit soft. I've decided to update here in case anyone else has the same question - I did have the wrong wool - I was using roving and not batting. I think I could have acheived a much firmer head with batting. Ah well, next time!

Random Ridiculousness: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's Mom "Mama June" Screams About Being Scared Of Mayonnaise [Video] Jan 4th 2013, 13:03 Yes, mayonnaise…Helman's, Miracle Whip, all that stuff. SMH. Via US Magazine: TLC kicks off its Here Come Honey Boo Boo "Holladay" specials Sunday, Jan. 6 with a Halloween episode. For Halloween this year, the kids decide to try to cure June "Mama" Shannon of her greatest fear — mayonnaise! "I can't stand mayonnaise," Mama says, though she admits she will eat potato salad or a tuna salad sandwich if someone else makes it and she can't see it. "The reason why is because when I was growing up, the babysitter I had, we ate mayonnaise sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack . . . I can't talk about it. It is making my flesh crawl." "I think it's stupid that you're scared of of mayonnaise, Mama," daughter Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon says. "I mean seriously, it's mayonnaise. It's white, and it's mayonnaise. C'mon. That's like ketchup, but it's just white." "I don't see you eating it," Mama snaps back. "Because I'm a vegetarian," Chubbs responds. Emptying tubs of mayonnaise into a bowl, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson forces Mama to face her fear.

Go ahead, make my day. I just love all those
nice things you're saying.
I used up copious quantities of pixels in the
fog. Some in B/W using different settings;
Standard B/W, Dynamic B/W and Film Grain.
The film grain is used on this shot. It's
good for contrast, but it's not kidding
about the grain. Whoa! I'm not sure I will
use it again, unless it's on something
similar to this.
The line-up of trees I took with the Dynamic
B/W setting.
Then I cheated and used a color shot converted
to B/W for the tree and horses.
At least I learned a little more about shooting
B/W with digital.
Appreciate all your very kind notes.

The Oregon and California Railroad Grant Lands' Sordid Past, Contentious Present, and Uncertain Future: A Century of Conflict
Michael C. Blumm
Lewis & Clark Law School
Tim Wigington
The Freshwater Trust
April 13, 2012
Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review, Vol. 40, No. 1, 2013
Lewis & Clark Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2012-17
This article examines the long, contentious history of the Oregon & California Land Grant that produced federal forest lands now managed by the Bureau of Land Management ("O&C lands"), including an analysis of how these lands re-vested to the federal government following decades of corruption and scandal, and the resulting congressional effort that created a management structure supporting local county governments through overharvesting the lands for a half-century. The article proceeds to trace the fate of O&C lands through the "spotted owl wars" of the 1990s, the ensuing Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP), the timber salvage rider of 1995, and the George W. Bush Administration's unsuccessful attempts to change the compromise reached in the NWFP. The article then explains how decreases in timber harvesting and declines in federal payments have brought the counties reliant on these lands to the brink of bankruptcy, and analyzes two current legislative proposals aimed at increasing harvests on the O&C lands in order to bolster flagging county economies. The article concludes by identifying significant economic and environmental flaws in these proposals and suggests several alternative revenue-producing options that could provide economic security and diversity to the counties without eviscerating the key environmental protections provided by the NWFP and other federal environmental protection statutes.

Weight: You definitely don't want to carry heavy things on your head. Therefore headlamps reviewed here are light but still provide great performance.
Battery life: Battery life is very important. It's good to have additional batteries in the backpack as the old batteries will be drained sooner or later. However, you should know what the battery life of the headlamp is as it allows you to make a battery usage plan when you are in a bad situation. Keep in mind that batteries drain quicker in cold environment
Brightness: Brightness is measured in lumens. The higher the number is the better you'll see in darkness.
