Ohhh maybe one reason might be they want to do things like fly plane planes full of people into 100 story buildings full of people in our country? This radical fundamentalism extends beyond their borders into ours. We cannot combat this problem within our own country alone.

Read an Excerpt
"A magic medicine it shall be!"
George sat himself down at the table in the kitchen. He was shaking a little. Oh, how he hated Grandma! He really hated that horrid old witchy woman. And all of a sudden he had a tremendous urge to do something about her. Something whopping. Something absolutely terrific. A real shocker. A sort of explosion.
"I'm not going to be frightened by her," he said softly to himself. But he was frightened. And that's why he wanted suddenly to explode her away.
Well…not quite away. But he did want to shake the old woman up a bit.
Very well, then. What should it be, this whopping terrific exploding shocker for Grandma?
As George sat there pondering this interesting problem, his eye fell upon the bottle of Grandma's brown medicine standing on the sideboard. Rotten stuff it seemed to be…and it didn't do her the slightest bit of good. She was always just as horrid after she'd had it as she'd been before.
So-ho! thought George suddenly. I shall make her a new medicine, one that is so strong and so fierce and so fantastic it will either cure her completely or blow off the top of her head.
"Here we go, then!" cried George, jumping up from the table. "A magic medicine it shall be!"

George's Marvelous
illustrated by Quentin Blake
"I'm going shopping in the village," George's mother said to George on Saturday morning. "So be a good boy and don't get into mischief."
This was a silly thing to say to a small boy at any time. It immediately made him wonder what sort of mischief he might get into.
"And don't forget to give Grandma her medicine at eleven o'clock," the mother said. Then out she went, closing the back door behind her.
Grandma, who was dozing in her chair by the window, opened one wicked little eye and said, "Now you heard what your mother said, George. Don't forget my medicine."
"No, Grandma," George said.
"And just try to behave yourself for once while she's away."
"Yes, Grandma," George said.
George was bored to tears. He didn't have a brother or a sister. His father was a farmer, and the farm they lived on was miles away from anywhere, so there were never any children to play with. He was tired of staring at pigs and hens and cows and sheep. He was especially tired of having to live in the same house as that grizzly old grunion of a grandma. Looking after her all by himself was hardly the most exciting way to spend a Saturday morning.
"You can make me a nice cup of tea for a start," Grandma said to George. "That'll keep you out of mischief for a few minutes."
"Yes, Grandma," George said.
George couldn't help disliking Grandma. She was a selfish grumpy old woman. She had pale brown teeth and a small puckered-up mouth like a dog's bottom.
"How much sugar in your tea today, Grandma?" George asked her.
"One spoonful," she said. "And no milk."
Most grandmothers are lovely, kind, helpful old ladies, but not this one. She spent all day and every day sitting in her chair by the window, and she was always complaining, grousing, grouching, grumbling, griping about something or other. Never once, even on her best days, had she smiled at George and said, "Well, how are you this morning, George?" or, "Why don't you and I have a game of Snakes and Ladders?" or, "How was school today?" She didn't seem to care about other people, only about herself. She was a miserable old grouch.
George went into the kitchen and made Grandma a cup of tea with a teabag. He put one spoon of sugar in it and no milk. He stirred the sugar well and carried the cup into the living room.
Grandma sipped the tea. "It's not sweet enough," she said. "Put more sugar in."
George took the cup back to the kitchen and added another spoonful of sugar. He stirred it again and carried it carefully in to Grandma.
"Where's the saucer?" she said. "I won't have a cup without a saucer."
George fetched her a saucer.
Meet the Author
Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. He spent his childhood in England and, at age eighteen, went to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. When World War II broke out, he joined the Royal Air Force and became a fighter pilot. At the age of twenty-six he moved to Washington, D.C., and it was there he began to write. His first short story, which recounted his adventures in the war, was bought by The Saturday Evening Post, and so began a long and illustrious career.
After establishing himself as a writer for adults, Roald Dahl began writing children's stories in 1960 while living in England with his family. His first stories were written as entertainment for his own children, to whom many of his books are dedicated.
Roald Dahl is now considered one of the most beloved storytellers of our time. Although he passed away in 1990, his popularity continues to increase as his fantastic novels, including James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, delight an ever-growing legion of fans.

When i was a little kid this book meant everything to me. I did a book report on it in 2nd grade. It's reslly fun and creative. FROM: A 5th grader.
Amazing i love this one the most
i think it is amazing
I absolutey love this amazing book because it is about a young little boy who looks after his grandma and makes her this revolting medicine! what makes it so revolting is the fact that he puts animal pills and allsorts in it ...
Why are people suggesting people are going to do what happens in this book must be helicopter parents. (Thats when a parent worries to much about their children).
I am a huge fan of Roald Dahl. My favorite is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then Fantastic Mr. Fox, then George's Marvelous Medicene. After that is Matilda. Roald Dahl is an amazing author! But I don't really like The Magic Finger. I suggest reading the english version, though.
Funny book. Wanted to keep reading
Best book writer ever
Love it so much and george reminds me of me. I remember the time i mixed together toothpaste shampoo and soap when i was little!

A Melbourne, Fla., restaurant regular left an $835 tip for employees of Chart House on Thanksgiving Day 2013. Video by Stacey Barchenger. Florida Today
Grateful for Thanksgiving Day service, she splits $835 gratuity among 52 employees.
MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Facing the Thanksgiving holiday with no family living nearby, a woman did not want to hassle fixing a feast for herself. With a family member dealing with a major health issue, the outlook for the day looked bleak.
That's what led the woman through the front door of the Chart House restaurant in Melbourne mid-afternoon last Thursday, alone.
Three hours later, she left in elated spirits. And not of the wine-induced variety.
"I just needed my spirits lifted and everyone at the Chart House did it," she said. "It was hard for me to leave. They made me feel like a member of the family. They're always great toward me. I just felt like I owed them a lot of gratitude for making my day."
The attitudes of the staff left such an impact on her, the woman decided to leave an impact on them, too. Thanksgiving dinner ran each guest in the bustling restaurant $29.95.
When bartender Kim Gasperini reached across the dimly lit bar and flipped over the woman's check, she thought a decimal had been misplaced. It must have been $8.35.
But on a cocktail napkin she found a note revealing there was no mistake. The $835 was to be split in $50 slices to the two bartenders on shift, and the rest spread evenly among all of the restaurant's about 50 employees working that day. Each pocketed $15. Newsof the giant gratuity spread quickly around the restaurant.
Valet George Seguna was outside. Though nothing like this had happened before, he wasn't surprised when he learned who left the tip.
"She's a very, very giving person," he said. "We're just happy to have her as a regular here."
Gasperini has been pouring cocktails at Chart House for 23 years, frequently serving up happy hour to the regulars who take seats at her bar. They catch up on events and tease each other. Like family.
"I've had outrageous tips, I have had gifts as tips," she said. "But never the entire restaurant. That's what blew me away. ... People were just dumbfounded."
The big tipper was surprised when she was contacted by FLORIDA TODAY on Monday. She spoke to FLORIDA TODAY about her gesture, but asked not to be identified publicly.
"I didn't do it to get praise," she said. "I did it because I am grateful for what I have. I'm very blessed and grateful that they spent their time away from their own families to serve us customers. That's the least I could do."
The woman, who retired to Brevard County about eight years ago, dines at the swanky riverfront restaurant once or twice each week. In that time she's become good friends with Gasperini, and last month went to a Josh Groban concert with a hostess.
"I love them dearly, and thank them for always taking such wonderful care of me," she said.

Stags get another chance at No. 20
Updated 11:18 pm, Monday, March 18, 2013
FAIRFIELD -- The Needham and Nickerson Show returns for at least one more performance before it leaves Fairfield University.
When the Stags tip off Wednesday night at Kent State University in the opening round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament, seniors Derek Needham and Colin Nickerson will receive one more crack at becoming the first basketball class at Fairfield to win at least 20 games in all four seasons. The game was moved to Wednesday after the Stags were unable to fly out Monday night due to inclement weather.
The Stags (19-15) have been off since March 10 after losing to Manhattan in the semifinals of the MAAC tournament in Springfield, Mass. The Golden Flash (20-13) also lost in their conference tournament's semifinal round to eventual MAC champion Akron.
"The first couple days (after the loss) it was tough, but right now playing any college basketball to me is a blessing," said Needham, who missed Fairfield's run to the CIT semifinals last season with a broken left foot. "Whatever I can do to extend my career here, I'm going to do it."
Nickerson comes into the game already the school's all-team leader in games with 137, moving past Ryan Olander in the loss to the Jaspers, and has played in four consecutive postseason tournaments, including twice in the CIT. Needham ranks third all-time with 130 games.
"Losing the MAAC was hard, but now we have to move on and try to achieve some other goal that we can get," Nickerson said. "We've played in basically all of them (tournaments) but the NCAA and we've had at least one win in each one. It's not a bad thing if we can make a run in this, it will just be adding on to our record."
Fairfield coach Sydney Johnson said the plan for the CIT won't change much from the one the Stags implemented trying to win a MAAC championship.
"We will tinker with the line up if it's a personnel thing, but we are treating this like we haven't moved on to next season or anything," said Johnson, who became a father for the third time last Friday when wife, Jennifer, delivered another baby girl. "We want to give our guys the greatest chance to win and continue to keep playing."
The Golden Flash, who average 73.1 points per game are led by 6-foot-8 senior forward Chris Evans (16.6 ppg, 8.0 rebounds) and senior guard Randal Holt (14.6 ppg, 85 3-pointers).
The Stags, including senior guard Desmond Wade (knee), should be at full strength for the game.
"Dez has struggled since he's come back, but he's healthy," Johnson said. "His timing is off and his legs are quite what they were earlier in the season, but that's just him not being 100 percent, but he is healthy as is everyone else."
Fairfield lost to Mercer in the CIT semifinals last season and Creighton in the second round in 2010 after a memorable 101-96 overtime win at George Mason.

We hear it time and time again...put your ancestor into their historical context. Learn about the area they lived and what was going on in their world at that time. Having that frame of reference is helpful to researchers in many ways. A researcher can gain clues as to where to look and not to look for their ancestor and why. Additionally, it helps us to form an appreciation for our ancestors lives. Knowing the historical context can also bring fun and excitement to your research...which can get a little tedious now and then.
I've been following #ripperlive on Twitter these last few months. One of my Twitter friends, Gavin, posts tweets detailing the murders committed around the Whitechapel area of London in 1888 and the investigation of such. Some of the posts are very intense (and gruesome) it's almost like watching a soap opera unfold with Jack The Ripper as the star.
So, just imagine my excitement when I found my GGGrandfather, Henry Brimson, in the 1841 English census living in Whitechapel! I immediately hit Twitter with an "OMG my ancestor was in Whitechapel! #ripperlive" or something to that effect. What ensued was a chase with three of my Twitter friends (@gavmr, @archivalbiz and @susmithjosephy) to decipher the name of the street Henry lived on in Whitechapel, trying figuring out where it was physcially located and determine if there was anything still there today. It was fun, it was exciting and it really was genealogical research!
My excitement did dim as I realized that Henry died in 1848 and his family moved to the US in 1850. That meant my ancestors were not around at the time Jack was on his reign of terror in that area. Just as my excitement started to dim though I also felt a profound sense of relief. Since Henry died in 1848 there was no way HE could BE Jack the Ripper either!!! While I would love to find an exciting ancestor...The Ripper is not who I have in mind. :)

Usually we'd be throwing up flags on this until Disney announces this thing themselves, but The Wrap and THR are both reporting that this is indeed legit and real, so let's get to it….
Reports say that negotiations with J.J. Abrams are far enough along that it's safe to say he'll direct "Star Wars: Episode 7." And yes, we know. It was just in November that the director pretty much took himself out the game when asked if he was interested in taking on the job. "Look, 'Star Wars' is one of my favorite movies of all time," he said. "I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big 'Star Trek' fan growing up, so for me, working on 'Star Trek' didn't have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more than anyone to the next iterations of 'Star Wars,' but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer!"
But Abrams was pursued and wooed by Lucasfilm honcho Kathleen Kennedy and we suppose was made an offer he couldn't refuse. Of couse, Paramount might not be too happy if Abrams takes the gig since as he's the man behind their very successful reboot of "Star Trek." And should this be real we can't image the studio being thrilled that press rounds for "Star Trek Into Darkness" will essentially become non-stop questions about "Star Wars: Episode 7" unless that subject is strictly taken off the table (not that people still won't try anyway). Moreover, one wonders if we can ever live in a galaxy where nerds will be happy with the same director shepherding both "Star Wars" and "Star Trek."
Ben Affleck was also apparently in contention for the gig as well, but it seems Abrams beat him to the punch. How do you feel about Abrams and "Star Wars"? Weigh in below.

Welcome back!!
You can see Sparkfun's EL Sequencer doing PWM here:
You can't PWM EL directly, but you can use triacs to control EL.
Latex paint can be permeable to a lot of things, that's why you occasionally get moisture problems.
Perhaps the latex paint was permeable enough that it allowed both layers of conductive paint to come into contact?
I did! I love 80/20 and other extruded aluminum products! It's like industrial tinker toys!
No turboencabulator?
I think it was a Google talk where Nate said something along the lines of how Sparkfun is like Home Depot.
You don't really go to Home Depot to buy a bathroom, but they do have everything you need and the experts to help you if you want to make your own bathroom.
So I usually follow that up with something like you would go to Radio Shack to buy and iPod but you would go to Sparkfun to buy all of the parts to make your own and learn how it works in the process.

Spartan Future Looks Bright
Posted By David Lesmeister On Jan 10 2011 @ 2:59 pm In Michigan State | No Comments
The Michigan State football team ended their season on a sour note, losing to Alabama 49-7 in the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day. Despite this, it was a very successful season in which the Spartans accomplished things that have not been done in a very long time. MSU won eleven games for the first time in the program's history, as this was only the third time the Spartans have reached the double digit win plateau. Michigan State also won a share of the Big Ten Title for the first time since 1990, but was snubbed from a Rose Bowl berth based on their final standing in the BCS. MSU beat Penn State in Happy Valley for the first time since the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten in 1990. The last stat being the biggest of all, as now Michigan State has turned the corner and knows how to win big games. I almost forgot also that MSU beat Michigan for the third straight year, something that has not been done since 1966-1968. All of these feats should give Spartan fans everywhere hope for the future, as MSU was considered by many to be a year away from having this kind of season.
Michigan State will have some momentum going into next season, but now they will be the hunted, instead of the hunter. It will be another completely different role for these Spartans, as they are used to being the underdogs and not the favorites. The pressure will be much greater next season, in which expectations will be sky high considering what the Spartans bring back on both sides of the ball. Kirk Cousins, B.J. Cunningham, Keith Nichol, Keshawn Martin, Larry Capper, Edwin Baker and Le'Veon Bell will all be back for an offense that finished 6th in the Big Ten in total offense. They will have weapons at every position, creating mismatches all over the field that will drive defensive coordinators crazy next year. I did not even mention the starters coming back on the offensive line, but who needs to when you will have these kind of athletes giving opposing defenses fits on Saturdays this coming fall.
On defense, the defensive line should be the strength of a unit that also finished 6th in the Big Ten in total defense. Defensive tackle, Jerel Worthy should assert himself as one of the best in not only the Big Ten, but in all of college football next year. Also returning up front are defensive tackles Blake Treadwell, Kevin Pickelman and defensive ends Tyler Hoover, Denzel Drone and Johnathan Strayhorn. The linebackers will take a hit as they lose two players, Greg Jones and Eric Gordon, who were the heart and soul of this defense for the past three years. The good news, last year's 5 star recruit William Gholston will get more playing time and STAR linebacker Chris Norman is back after getting a year of starting experience under his belt. The secondary should be better next year, which is always a positive considering it is normally one of the weakest units on either side of the ball. Cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Mitchell White return, as well as safety Trenton Robinson.
It will be interesting to see what kind of recruiting class Coach Dantonio brings in this year, as he has become a very good recruiter in Michigan, claiming the number one player in the state for the last two years. MSU should be a favorite for the Big Ten Title next year, but it never hurts to keep bringing in athletes that can come in and compete right away.

Beware Today's Surge in The Egypt ETF
The Market Vectors Egypt ETF (NYSE: EGPT) is getting in on Wednesday's ebullience surrounding emerging markets funds as shares of the lone ETF exclusively devoted to the North African nation are higher by 4.2 percent on light volume.
On a pure performance basis, EGPT's 2012 gain of 32 percent looks good, but the ETF stumbled in the latter stages of the year as various domestic and regional issues finally began to catch up with the volatile fund.
Today's surge for EGPT comes with a cautionary tale of its own. The ETF, which allocates 42.5 percent of its weight to financial services stocks, is moving higher despite the fact that Egyptians are running out of their local currency – the pound – and desperately grabbing for U.S. dollars.
The greenback is up more than half a percent against the Egyptian pound today, extending a slide for the Egyptian currency that started in European trading this morning. With Egyptians clamoring for U.S. dollars, the central bank has moved to ration the availability of the U.S. currency, which has prompted elevated buying of euros.
Already home to dwindling foreign currency reserves, a plummeting pound has prompted a surge in credit default swaps used to insure Egyptian sovereign debt against default. Egypt's five-year credit default swaps now stand at around 5.25 percent, meaning it costs $525,000 to insure $10 million worth of Egyptian five-year sovereign debt, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Due to increased political tensions and the aforementioned dwindling currency reserves, which as the Journal notes only cover 90 days worth of exports, Standard & Poor's lowered Egypt's credit rating to B- last week. That is six levels below investment grade. That creates a potential double whammy for Egypt in the form of higher borrowing costs because of the lower credit rating at a time when its pound is losing value.
All this at a time when Egypt is facing slack economic growth and unemployment of around 12 percent. The latter issue could possibly spark more domestic protests because the rate of joblessness for Egypt's young people is more than double the national average.
Investors may have already been bracing for the worst, or at least another decline, with EGPT. The ETF had nearly $55 million in assets under management on September 11, 2012, the same day bloody protests broke out in Cairo. That number has been reduced to $36.3 million as of December 31.

Written by Gregg Brekke
As I boarded a plane today, I was confronted by what I call a first class attitude. A passenger had put his/her fairly large bag in the overhead bin where it did not fit. It was simply too long, and it was left sticking out beyond possibility of the bin closing.
I'm really not sure what he or she expected to happen. I can only assume that the passenger expected a flight attendant to make it fit; that the staff would fix it. Those of us who are privileged to travel by airplane have most likely had a similar experience.
Most airlines offer a first class experience. There is more space, customer service is ramped up, and they serve pretty good food. However, classism has a far broader reach than the airline industry alone. There are so many other places where first class behavior and first class attitudes seem to be the norm in our country where we claim to be a working class society.
The most recent one is the offensive on our working class neighbors who are employed in the public sector. I do not understand why those work for cities, counties, states, and school districts have become the target of our disdain. In states like Wisconsin and Ohio, our "public" officials have determined that unions and collective bargaining are the cause of the economic downturn so they must be done away with.
Have we forgotten that the economic crash was the result of corrupt business practices in the financial industry, not in the public service arena? Have we forgotten that in some states, the budget crisis is because they have continued to cut taxes thereby reducing revenues?
Unions are not perfect just as no other organization is perfect. However, unions are owned by their members; members who can exercise their voting rights to change what is not working. They were formed out of a need to improve working conditions.
We must not forget that most of us have benefitted by collective bargaining negotiations and now we benefit from the gifts of collective bargaining, such as paid vacations, sick leave, safety in the workplace, etc. It seems odd that our democratic system that treasures voting rights has somehow decided to negate the voting rights of people who have organized unions for a purpose.
We have watched the middle class disappear in nations throughout the world. But we have failed to acknowledge that our country is headed in the same direction. Data proves that the middle class is essential to any flourishing economic system. Public workers are at the core of a middle class society that cares for its working class.
Just yesterday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer published the results of a survey that indicates that 40 percent of those polled would be willing to have their taxes raised and only 20 percent advocate for public workers to lose their benefits.
Who are our elected officials listening to? I hope you will join me by voicing your support of the bargaining rights of teachers, garbage and highway workers, police and fire fighters, office workers in schools, city halls and state office buildings, and so on. Those who work in public sector jobs, members of working class America, deserve to be treated with first class respect.

A Disappointing Year With ObamaPosted on Nov 10, 2009
Who would have thought a year ago that most of the issues of conflict in America's foreign relations would be made worse during the first year following Barack Obama's election as U.S. president? Even those disputes or differences that were appeased or quiet a year ago are now worse. On Iraq, the new president has faithfully followed the policy of George W. Bush, and now Iraq threatens breakdown. Obama ran on a promise to fight the "right war" in Afghanistan. This policy rests upon the monumental assumption that victory can be found in a military campaign meant to alter the character of Central Asian political and religious society so as to remake it in the American image—what Condoleezza Rice defined a year ago as the Bush administration's policy, and what is now apparently the Obama policy. In the time-honored bureaucratic fashion, the president's military advisers have offered him three troop options—one impossibly high, one suicidally small, and one, the one they actually want, in between, and "just right."(In poker games, this is known as "forcing" the card onto the patsy.) The troops are already on the move. It will be some time before we see them again. Put aside, for a moment, the military disaster that is now in the course of manufacture in the "Af-Pak" theater of unwinnable wars. Look at the president's other policy problems. The Korean affair continues, as we have just seen. There are tensions foreseeable in his visit to a new Japanese government at the end of this week. The old security conventions and connivances of past Japanese Liberal Democrat governments will be questioned. Japan's new government's geopolitical view of East Asian security is not the passive and compliant one displayed for nearly 60 years by Liberal Democrat politicians who did as Washington suggested. In question today is the legal status under which 47,000 U.S. troops and a series of bases have quasi-permanently occupied the archipelago since 1945. Japanese naval forces were limited in number and mission, despite China's rising military power. China is developing a blue-water navy to support territorial claims in the region, while experiencing serious trade tensions with the U.S. On Nov. 5, the U.S. imposed 99 percent anti-dumping taxes on certain Chinese steel exports. Then there is the question of the American trade deficit with China, which suits the U.S. but not China, and the troublesome shadowing of the dollar by the Chinese renminbi. In Latin America, the Obama people have already made trouble, demanding and getting a sizable new air base agreement in Colombia, whose significance, as the U.S. Air Force itself says, will be strategic. (Presumably to counter the "menace" of Russian ships off Venezuela.) Washington's ambiguous conduct with respect to the Honduras military coup did not contribute to good pan-American relations. The president's winning personality, his appeals for mutual understanding and his promotion of negotiations over threats have all created good will for him and for the United States. But every active step he has taken on the large issues of the Middle East and Central Asia has angered, alienated or devastatingly disappointed those internationally and in the United States who expected the most from him. He began his term with a program for finding the long-sought Arab-Israeli solution. To disappointment-hardened observers of the 40-year (and continuing) shipwreck of Palestinian-Israeli relations, the Obama plan seemed to err on the side of optimism, but if seriously applied conceivably could work. The international auspices were favorable. So was the domestic American situation: The stranglehold on U.S. Jewish opinion held until now by the settler lobby and the Likud-dominated American Israel Public Affairs Committee seemed weakened. Liberal Jewish voters—the vast majority—were sympathetic to change; the liberal J Street lobby had been formed. The new president had a plan for mutual concessions: application of the long-promised ("roadmap") freeze on Israeli settlement construction on Palestine land, and a fresh Palestine start on security negotiations. The plan proved to be a bad joke. Israel defied Obama. The president, after preliminary talk more forceful than ever before heard, peremptorily capitulated, accepting Israeli terms. The president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, then announced he won't run for a second term in upcoming elections, the logical consequence of which is that the Palestinian people will be left a people under total military occupation, the Israel government responsible for their condition, their livelihoods, their well being, their fate. Some think this will inspire the Israeli people to invite the Palestinians to become voting citizens. Some think it could inspire Israel to annex all of Palestine and force all of its present Arab occupants out of Palestine, over the borders into Egypt or Jordan. There may be possibilities between these extremes. One hopes President Obama will think of something. Visit William Pfaff's Web site at www.williampfaff.com. © 2009 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

We're flat out getting through our own work and there's 2 of us. and you have so much more room to cover than we do. I've never seen a variegated canistropsis before. if you have plenty of them I'd love you to put my name on one. We'll get down to visit you soon. Johnny says he can't stay here when Max goes so we plan to jump in the motorhome and get away for a week or so. I think he is planning on Coffs as we really did love it down there. I'll keep in touch re that. Otherwise if Max hangs maybe Jen and I will do a crawl down that way before school goes back. Either way I think we'll be seeing each other soon .... January sometime. Nev I love your leudemanniana seedlings. the one I collected the seeds from is pretty much same colour as your seedlins (see pic 1). I am glad to hear they grow fast so I'll keep an eye on them and be ready to pot them up next year. I also put down some seed from ae triangularis (see pic 2) these are growing so fast already I also have 2 of those painted lady seedlings you sent me. they look very much like your pic 4 & 5. Pic 3 is the little hothouse I built for the triangularis seedlings. this is 3 weeks of growing to make these little plants so maybe they will grow as fast as Nev's leudemaniana seedlings. I just had to share a pic of the gift that Karen gave me. She turned up here with a laundry basket full of epiphyllum plants and cuttings and I've already had 3 new ones flowering but this week we had one of these stunnin pink ones open. Johnny loved it so much he hung it at the very end of a row so as you walked up you couldn't help but see it ahead. I think I'll have an early night tonight so I'm going to turn off now. Night all.

yes, Fix+ with rosewater and glycerin and also jojoba oil as nighttime moisturizer.
Yes, I love making scrubs and masks or just putting fresh fruit on my face hehe. I make a coffee-honey mask that doubles as a scrub with creamed honey and instant coffee crystals (grind them with a mortar and pestle first). I also make a mask using plain yoghurt and honey. I've always been fascinated by making me own beauty products.
I love making scrubs! Buying them is great too but sometimes I just want to know whats going into my products. Honey, green tea and sugar scrubs are great and make great cheap gifts. Asprin masks/scrub is great to help with my acne =) I want to branch onto other things, its really fun I think and totally worth it.
Yes'siree! I wish I knew more about making skin care products but I don't… And don't really want to take the time to learn. LOL! But I make my own lip plumpers – Made a BUNCH of them fof Christmas gifts this year – Some were tinted and some weren't.
I also made glitter sticks for the bf's nieces. They're into EVERYTHING "girly" so I did peach scented body lotion bars LOADED with glitter and shimmer! 🙂 It took days to get the peach smell out of my kitchen and I wanted to puke from it when I was done! Haha!
how do you make a plumper??? 🙂
Hey there! I JUST made a video on it and posted it on my YouTube channel! Woo hoo! 🙂 (Thanks for the idea BTW). I went it to a little too much detail, but the recipe is in there – Let me know if it helps!!!
Dusty: I just watched your video. You are totally awesome! I loved it, can't wait to make some plumpers. Thanks 🙂
thanks! 🙂
my stister makes few scubbers and clensers every now and then. I use a clenser made of pineapples, and I must say it is one of the best things I've put on my face.
That sounds delicious, lol 🙂 Can you share your recipe??
Oh yes!!! I love to do it! So I know whats really inside, noch chemicals and have much of fun! Especially I make hairshampoo for my friend (he's the owner of a hairdressers salon and his customers love it, when he use it because they smell and feel the different to "normal" products.
Yes- I use a sugar/honey face scrub once a week. It makes skin so smooth and glowy =) Try it- takes no time at all to make and results are really worth it!
Not anymore. I used to use this face mask that had tumeric, honey and salt in it. I stopped using it when I realised that it left my face a bit yellow!!
Nah, only a lip scrub, and that's only once in a while.
i used to diy my shampoo and conditioner. since i've discovered organic shampoo/conditioner, I no longer make my own. I also make my own body lotion and vitamin E night-time moisturizer. wake up with soft skin every morning. next i will try and tackle make-up. 🙂
what organic shampoo do you use?
Sort of, I have tried the asprin mask and I no longer use shampoo. I use once a week baking soda and the rest of the time I just use conditioner, it works (it is like the wen system but cheaper)!!!
Not yet, but I've been looking into blending my own pigments :).
I make face scrubs, lip exfoliants, etc… from time to time with natural ingredients like apricot oil and raw sugar.
I made a lip plumper once with clove oil and cinnamon oil- I had to stop using it after a while, because I made it too strong and it was irritating my lips. But it worked better that any lip plumper I've tried.
I use DIY hair products. I have thick, coarse, kinky hair and I LOVE thick moisturizers and conditioners. My fav DIY moisturizer is unrefined shea butter mixed with Vatika oil. My hair stays moisturized for DAYS
I use homemade brush cleanser! It gets the job done, but I gotta say, the store bought kind works a bit better
Honey! I leave it on my face for about 10-15 minutes,
makes my face soft and with time makes acne and scars
go away :D.
I do a sugar and orange oil mix for an exfoliator for my hands and feet.
I was having a hard time with my skin for a while, so I made a natural toner. I bought pure lavender and tea tree oil. I mixed both of them with water and used it for months 🙂
Yes, my mom makes me home made shampoo and I love it
I make all my skincare products – creams, lotions, cleansers, lip balms.
In fact, i couldn't put anything from a store on my skin now!

This made my heart beat again! :D What a wonderful news! :) Keep on going, and thank you! :D
I've tried it yesterday. Works great! :D Thank you for this awesome mod!
Hi. I was really hoping for an update for this. Does this fix certain game crashes?
I own most of the games already (exceptions are: Black Mesa, Killing floor 2, Space engineers), however i really feel grateful for all the modders doing great (art)works! I feel like I owe something to them, so let me contribute with at least a sharing as a thank you: Facebook.com
Please keep up practicing your hobby! :) Have a great day!
Amazing :D Dude you worked a lot on this, i give you all my respect! :)
sorry i forgot to log in, the above post belongs to me.
As for comparrison:
I'd like to collect the full golden saint armor set. Right now i still need the boots. :) So it is much more fun to go out for hunting! :)
Btw.. golden saint armor set. It's kind of a weird thing that some parts are and some parts aren't enchanted. I would made all of them enchanted or enchantable. But this is a very persoanl oppinion. :)
I said that it is WEAK like hound poo!!! I didnt said that isn't COOL!! Keep calm.
Just when i first saw a Beholder in morrowind, i almost **** in the place where i stood BECAUSE i was waiting that he kills me pretty fast. And i just suggested that it should be more powerful. Sorry for bad english.
The drop rate of the daedras is to high. When i go out for Grand soul gem filling/hunting i kill a lot of them. So right now i have daedric and ebony weapons as much as rubbish.
The Beholder is pretty weak. And i have problems collecting my trophy when i kill him. (Often falls into the wall.)
For the spells i would suggest using (D) - parantheses in place of D:
will this be included into the next release?
"* Guar farm - Everyone loves Guars right?
* Indoril Greaves - Cover your legs, scum."
These comments are great :D :D :D like them. Wish you good luck, and work to implement all these new things! They sound great.
Whoo :D what a nice job ^^ (I hope you added some kollops too - lol) :) Keep it up ^^
Thank you very much. And sorry again for bothering you that much. (BTW, music is really awesome!)
Hi again. Sorry for bothering you this much. Yesterday after several hours of tries I managed to resolve all. It works fine :) No errors.
Just a simple question: it is compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt too? :) Have a nice night!
Hi again! ^^
I made a backup of my save games, and reinstalled the whole game. (GOTY + MGSO 3.0 + MR 2.03 + *Animamundi mod).
I've tried to install all the mods together (first extracted the Data.exe of MGSO than overwrote with MR 2.03 and Animamundi and after this followed the install guide of MGSO). It works nice, however I'd like to mention some things (like constructive opinion):
1. Installing like above takes considerable less time.
2. The Distant Land generator gave and error: missing vurt_chokeweed.dss from textures (I'm happy cause one of your previous versions contains it).
3. If I set in MGSO options at the Trees - Ascadian Isles Vurt Bushy, it will have some visual conflicts in Balmora (trees growing through the walls). This is ok if I select Vurt LoreFriendly, so don't consider it a relevant problem. :)
* Bud! In Balmora is very difficult to find a free place for a new house :)) Animamundi is a house mod of mine (it doesn't change much in the landscape, but the interior cell is quite large - a biiig household for all kind of collectors. :) If interested in any way i may send it. :) Good night ;)
I've got an issue before. When the Dark BrotherHood attacked me and they used adamantium daggers, the daggers didn't have the meshes (appeared teal-white).
It's very tempting to start a new game, since you have fixed a lot of things, and included new things too. I only regret the time I invested in this :D But i hope that it will really worth it. ^^
Wow, thank you for the update!! ^^ I was just wondering, what happened to the Adamantium weapon mesh :P Btw, will this work with previous savegames (with MR 2.02)?
Yes ^^ This way Seyda Neen became a Real town ^^ (not like before - a some lost shacks on the shore). Nice work!
I love this image too! ^^ It gives a nice feeling to the menu ^^
Hii! ^^
I've just managed to try out Morrowind Rebirth.. I was frozen for an hour and just said wooow and wooow in every minute :D This is amazing ^^ Nice job, as expected ^^
I'd like to have a question. Now I've started a new game and did a progress (just reached Balmora, did 1-2 quest, nothing else to mention). To apply the 2.02 (having patched up to 2.01), should I reinstall something or i just replace the esp files and copy over patch content? Should i recompile distant lands with MGE XE?
Btw ^^ I wish yo a very Merry Christmas :)
Hi there!
For me everything works fine, until i reach the inventory panel... Whenever i am in info mode, and even if i click on info mode on the inventory screen, i can not see any information about items. The only thing, i can do, is equipping and removing items from the inventory.
Any ideas, how i could resolve this?
Hehe, i understand that you don't really have that much time. I'll try these modifications to do exactly as you said. Somehow this time is clearer than before. ^^
TYVM again!
This is the very best mod I've ever encountered! You've got a new admirer (im a programmer too lool) :D Thank you for your mod! By the way.. will the 2.0 release contain any fixes for using the this mod together with MGSO 3.0? ^^ (I'm a little bit confused on what exactly should i disable, enable to make them work together hehe - dummy of me) ^^
Wish you the best ^^

Shia LaBeouf plugged in his headphones and grabbed his favorite hat as he ventured out of his home in LA on Tuesday and Wednesday. His bandaged hand may still be in the final stages of the healing process, but he was still able to carry a bunch of stuff under his broken wing. While we'll have to wait until the Summer to get a peek at Shia's anticipated Transformers 2, next month we'll get a taste of his serious side as he breaks from the action movies in New York, I Love You.
Join The Conversation
Around The Web
he is hot!!!
he is hot!!!
He's sexy in those clothes. And to everything that Imabeliever said, that is why I love him.
he is such a cute guy but boy needs a stylist.
if you ever read an interview with him.. he is really humble.. claiming his success is based on 100% pure luck.. that there are a million actors more talented then he is. That he always keeps that in mind and does his best to try to learn and try harder and is never late to a call, never complains.. that he is just dumbstruck that he gets to work with theses actors, directors, producers... like living in a dream.
And Ford, Spielberg, Caruso, Pullman, John Hurt, Julie Christie.. all go out of their way to say what a pleasure he was to work with. How professional, humble, earnest, and ego free he is and what a pleasant surprise it is considering his age and peers.
And the kid made bank over the last two years.. yet still drives a modest car and lives in a modest two bedroom house in Glendale.
He is pretty normal joe for a millionaire.
there are so many other folks in New York, I Love You that i think that i'll be able to manage it. he's really not one of my favorite actors - i just think that he feels like he's more talented than he is, and i figure that maybe my perception will change in a couple years, but right now he's not doing it for me...
He's so damn hot
He's so damn hot
Im watching Transformers for the Autobots,Decepticans and the U.S. military as in biggest combined joint effort by the Marines,Navy,Army and Air Force in Hollywood production history.
i like the way he dresses...i think he looks fine. on another note...wow his hand is still broken thought it would have healed by now. n he always seems to be drinking those Arizona's. lol
he is such a cute guy but boy needs a stylist. i am gonna slealthly break into his house and burn those jeans, puke brown jacket and cap. granted i will leave brand new black jeans, black leather jackie and plain black cap. maybe a green tee to match his gorg eyes. sorry! ya know i love ya but.......oh and a new belt.

Q: My 8-year-old is tired all the time even though she gets 11 to 12 hours of sleep a night. Is this part of growing up, or should I address it with her pediatrician? I wondered if she might be anemic, but I have read this is rare in children.
A: It's not uncommon for children to feel tired occasionally. Many factors can lead to tiredness. A busy schedule, not getting enough sleep at night and even being hungry can all make a child tired. But if a child is consistently feeling tired, especially when he or she is getting enough sleep, it is a good idea to talk about it with a pediatrician. In some cases, tiredness may be a sign of an underlying problem.
Being tired at the end of the day is normal for most children, especially those who are active. Children also may feel tired when they get hungry between meals. In those cases, all it usually takes to relieve their tiredness is a healthy snack. For many kids, the best way to prevent daytime tiredness is a good night's sleep. Children generally need at least 10 hours of sleep a night to function best during the day.
Interestingly, school-age children don't usually complain of daytime tiredness or fatigue, even when they do feel a little tired. Instead, these concerns are more often noticed by a child's parents or caregivers. So when a child talks about being tired or shows obvious signs of fatigue, like lying down to rest in the middle of the day, for example, that should be taken seriously. It may point to an underlying medical condition that needs evaluation.
A variety of illnesses can cause a child to be tired. Most acute illnesses — for instance, upper respiratory infections like colds, or ear, throat or sinus infections — make children tired. But with these illnesses, the fatigue goes away when the infection clears.
More prolonged or significant tiredness could be a sign of allergies or asthma. Tiredness that lasts is the most common and prominent symptom of mononucleosis — often called "mono" — caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Fatigue that persists could also be related to poor sleep that results from a sleep disorder, such as obstructive sleep apnea.
Rarely, chronic fatigue may reflect a more serious underlying condition, such as tuberculosis, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, cancer or very poor nutrition. It also may indicate an emotional, educational or social problem.
As you mentioned, parents frequently bring up anemia as a possible cause of a child's tiredness. Anemia is a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the body's tissues. Tiredness can be a symptom of anemia. But unless it's quite severe, anemia is rarely the cause of persistent fatigue in children.
In your child's situation, I suggest first confirming that he or she is, indeed, getting at least 10 hours of restful sleep each night. Check to see if snoring, restlessness or other sleep disturbances may be interfering with healthy sleep. Make sure your child is eating a well-balanced diet with healthy snacks between meals.
Also, talk to your child about any difficulties he or she may be having at school or other social, emotional or learning problems that could be at play. Check for other symptoms of illness, allergies or asthma too.
If changing sleep habits and diet does not help, or if you suspect a sleep disorder or other medical problem could be to blame for the fatigue, talk to your child's pediatrician about your concerns and have the situation evaluated.

We never celebrated Halloween in Malaysia, Ellie from Almost Bourdain explains the reason very well in one of her posts. The colour black and decorations associated with death are considered very "suay" (bad luck) in Chinese culture (and a lot of other Asian cultures as well).
It's not a big celebration in Australia either, although trick-or-treating does happen in a few areas. Ghoulish decorations can be purchased easily from the shops and our local library puts on a spooky-themed event for the kids. Which is great because I love the idea of Halloween and all the goriness it
While Malaysians don't "do" Halloween, they certainly eat some scary looking stuff. Take these basil seeds for instance. Locally known as Biji Selasih, the seeds expand when soaked in water and end up looking (and feeling!) like frog-spawn. These are then added to red cordial/red syrup to make a refreshing drink.
There are versions of this Air Sirap Selasih (Air sirap=Syrup water) in other cultures as well – the Indian Falooda and the Thai Nam Manglak. I've never tasted either of those drinks but the flavourings sound similar.
In Malaysia, air sirap (syrup water/syrup drink), is the red cordial of choice for big kenduris (feast/celebration). I'm not sure how it was made originally, but most air syrup now just comes out of a bottle. The extremely sweet, red, rose-flavoured drink is a big hit with kids. Other versions of Air Sirap, include Air-Sirap Limau (Limau=Lime), and Air Bandung, a pink concoction involving rose syrup and condensed milk (even I draw the line at this one).
I didn't feel like buying a whole bottle of rose cordial so I made up a version using simple syrup and rosewater. To give the syrup its distinctive red hue, I was lucky enough to have some freshly delivered bottles of pomegranate juice to experiment with. The subtly tangy flavoured juice is not sweet, making it the perfect mixer to add colour to drinks.
(When Linsday of POM Wonderful emailed me about a month ago asking if I would like to try some pomegranate juice, I couldn't hit the reply button fast enough. Seriously – is there a different answer to the question "would you like some free stuff to consume?" The timing was near perfect too, the package arrived just before I attempted to make my drink. Thanks Lindsay!).
The resulting syrup tasted a bit more sophisticated than the Air-Sirap of my childhood, and the kids loved the frog-spawn. Mr. Kitchen Hand was suitably disgusted when I made him swallow a mouthful ☺. (He liked the flavour though, but the basil seed texture (a bit like bubble tea) freaked him out too much).
The red syrup made me think of another favourite Malaysian dessert – agar-agar. There must be hundreds of different agar-agar variations out there, but in it's simplest form, the agar-agar is flavoured with pandan, tinted red and cut into pretty little diamonds. At almost every birthday party, gathering or pot-luck, one can be sure to find a plate of these little gems.
Of course, I couldn't resist "Halloweenifying" the treat up to produce these "eyeballs" in Lychee and Pomegranate agar-agar. The kids were absolutely thrilled and broke out spontaneous zombie-walking demanding more eyeballs.
I did make a prettier version of the agar-agar decorated with lychee "flowers" too. As you can see, I still haven't got the hang of cutting it into diamonds yet. Ah well, at least it tasted good. I'm sending this agar-agar over to Mansi at Fun and food cafe for her Sweet Celebrations blog-event too.
Have a great rest of the week and I leave you with Mr. Kitchen Hand's reaction to the agar-agar and the recipes. See you soon.
Sorry for the ultra long post.
The MKH Scale-O-Meter
Appearance: 3 " Looks very cool with the lychee "flowers"
Taste: 3.5 "Refreshing lychee and unusual pomegranate taste"
Texture: 1 "Manages to be both rubbery and slippery"
(Agar - agar has a sort of crisp texture. Unlike jelly/jell-o, it doesn't dissolve in the mouth, it kind of disintegrates)
Air-Sirap Selasih (Rosewater Flavoured Syrup with Basil Seeds)
For syrup:
½ cup sugar
½ cup hot water
dash of rosewater
Dissolve sugar in the water, leave to cool. Stir in a dash of rosewater to flavour.
To serve
1 teaspoon basil seeds (available from Asian/Indian grocery stores) soaked in water until expanded – takes about 10 minutes. Rinse the expanded seeds in a sieve under running water.
Some pomegranate juice (if unavailable, substitute with cranberry juice or add food colouring instead)
Ice and water
Put some sugar syrup into a glass. Add enough pomegranate juice, water and ice to taste. Adjust the sweetness of the drink by varying the amount of sugar syrup. Add a spoonful of "frog-spawn" before serving. Store leftover "frog spawn" in the fridge.
Lychee and Pomegranate Agar-Agar.
1 can lychees in syrup
1 bottle (475ml) pomegranate juice. with some water added to make it up to 500ml (If you have access to fresh pomegranates, you could juice your own).
5-7g agar-agar powder (depending on the level of "setness" desired. read the instructions on your agar-agar as the amount required may differ).
1 tablespoon sugar (or more according to taste. Our agar agar tasted mildly sweet, with a lovely tang from the pomegranate juice. If you like your desserts very sweet, add more sugar)
Some blueberries to decorate
Shotglasses (you can use any moulds but the shotglasses are perfect for holding the eyeballs down).
Drain the lychees and reserve the syrup.
Pop a blueberry into the cavity of a lychee. Put this "eyeball" into the bottom of a shotglass and wedge it in a little – otherwise the eyeball will float but it doesn't matter, it will still look spooky. Make as many eyeballs as desired.
(Alternatively, cut the lychees into pretty flower shapes (see pic) and arrange on the bottom of a suitable mould.)
Measure the amount of lychee syrup collected and top it up with water until it gets to 500ml. Heat the syrup and sugar until just simmering, stir in the agar-agar powder and keep stirring until all the agar-agar has dissolved. (It's ok to boil agar-agar, it won't denature like gelatin).
Turn off the heat but leave the pan on the stove. Pour in the pomegranate juice, stir quickly and spoon into shotglasses or pour into moulds. Try not to boil the pomegranate juice because heating will affect the colour and make it more purple than red. (If the juice is too cold and agar-agar starts to set, just turn the heat back on low and sitr until the agar-agar dissolves)
Spoon the agar-agar into the shotglasses. Have a toothpick handy to manouver any eyeballs that move, or to shift the eyeballs slightly so that the agar-agar can get to the bottom of the glass.
Leave to set. The agar-agar will set at room temperature and takes no time at all to set in the fridge. Best served chilled.


text: In new Immortals footage, the gods are young, pissed off, and ultra-violentAlasdair Wilkins7/23/11 6:00pmFiled to: ImmortalsSdcc2011Comic-con 2011San diego comic-conComic-conTarsem SinghHenry CavillLuke EvansKellan lutzmickey rourkeJohn HurtFrieda PintoMoviesTop251EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Tarsem Singh's Immortals just screened a bunch of new footage, including an absolutely epic extended fight scene between gods and monsters. Disemboweling and decapitation have never looked so visually striking. Read on for our spoiler-y description of the footage! Advertisement The panel first showed a trailer for the movie, some of which we had seen before. In voiceover, John Hurt explains, "Long before man roamed these lands, there was a war in heaven. The victors declared themselves gods. The vanquished were renamed Titans, bound within prisons deep inside Mount Tartarus. King Hyperion and his legions seek to unleash the titans and wage war on our gods."We then see a massive thunderbolt hit the ground, out of which Henry Cavill's Theseus appears. Luke Evans's Zeus declares that if there is one man who could lead the armies in the war against Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), it could be Theseus. Theseus tells Frieda Pinto's Oracle that he isn't sure if he has faith, but that she can see the future. To which the Oracle replies that she can't change the future — but Theseus can. Advertisement The rest of the trailer features the heroes taking on all comers — including King Hyperion's entire legion — and brutal sword-fights with giant mythical creatures. We also see a figure — perhaps Kellan Lutz's Poseidon — plummet into the ocean, which appears to unleash gigantic tsunami waves on a huge walled city. Theseus declares that they should, "Fight for honor. Fight for your future."Later, the panel showed more footage, this time of a climactic fight scene. We find ourselves inside a mountain — I'd guess the Titans' prison of Mount Tartarus — in which there is a huge open-air chamber, encircled by huge interlocking statues. A masked figure shoots an arrow that unleashes a huge white orb, attracting the attention of blackened, inhuman creatures. Then fiery golden rays shine down on the mountain, heralding the appearance of Zeus and his warriors.Zeus tells the waiting monsters, "None of you will leave this place", and, with that, the fight begins. The fight is brutal and bloody, featuring decapitations, disembowelings, impalings, people (and monsters) being chopped in half and hurled into stone walls... basically, every insane thing that could happen in a fight does happen, and quite a few gods are seemingly killed. Sponsored Zeus then climbs onto a strange golden chamber, which may be the prison. He picks up two handles from the top of the chamber, and as he lifts the handles up wispy golden chains appear, linking the handles to the giant statues. With a mighty heave, Zeus pulls the statues down, making the entire mountain fall in on itself. As the surviving monsters rush towards him, Zeus, cradling one of the fallen goddesses, disappears in a blinding golden light.As you might be able to guess from those at least mildly insane descriptions, director Tarsem Singh's visual style is all over this film, just as it was in previous efforts like The Cell and The Fall. Tarsem explained how he melded practical effects with CGI and green screen for this movie in sequences like that big fight scene, which he said he shot three times over: once with just the live actors, once using CGI animation, and then finally as a combination of the two, which he said created a far more real look and feel for the film than if he had used purely CGI. Advertisement During the panel, Tarsem explained that he is primarily a visual storyteller - he comes up with compelling images and then sees what story could fall in around them. In this case, he explained that he wanted to explore just why the gods (or God) don't interfere in the lives of humans. He said free will is one obvious answer, but that there are other possibilities, and that's an idea he wanted to follow up in Immortals.The panel stressed that one of the biggest decisions they made in this film was to make the gods young and beautiful, a departure from most depictions that favor a more ancient appearance. Producer Gianni said these gods were "young and pissed." Tarsem argued that, if you go back to Renaissance depictions of the gods, they're surprisingly in keeping with what's in this movie - while the gods' faces are old, they are clearly placed on the bodies of young, fit men.As Tarsem explained, he decided to keep those bodies and replace the heads with those of young, handsome actors. Indeed, the entire film seems to feature about as much male beefcake as one could ever possibly hope for — Frieda Pinto said she loved the fact that this was the rare film where the women can remain largely covered up, but the men are all pretty much naked.

Confession time. I am obsessed with Georgia weddings. Obsessed with the gorgeous details, adorable duos and heartwarming moments that sort of just come with the territory… they are amazing. And this sweet day captured by Samantha Bohall Photography? It's all of the aforementioned set against a stunning farm backdrop with a laid-back meets elegant vibe that just screams rustic chic. See every gorgeous moment (and there are a lot of them) right here in the full gallery.
From the Bride… My husband and I have a playful and energetic relationship, and we wanted that to show in our wedding- from the venue to the flower choices, I wanted to be sure and create a fun, relaxing atmosphere where our families and friends could feel at home. My family is from Georgia and we have always loved going up to the the North GA mountains, so this venue felt like a natural choice. My mom and sisters helped make the decorations, and my dad handmade the chuppah we got married under out of old beams from my grandfather's house.
All of the special family touches added so much to the already unique venue. Kellum Valley Farm is in Cleveland, GA, and is one of the most picturesque and serene places I have ever been! We got married on a beautiful October day, and I couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out.

"I said to people [after having a certain number], 'I'm retired.' I got one to do the laundry, one the baking; they rotate their duties."
Mrs. Dippolito realized quickly that many members in the family does not mean simply more work to do, but more to do the work. It also means more to give love. As she explains, "When number nineteen came, the family gave him love. He got so much love from the family. If he was an only child, he would never have gotten so much love! The mother can only give so much love. When you have a large family, the children are getting all kinds of love from all their brothers and sisters. There's nothing more joyful than a baby."
It is not size in itself, of course, that brings virtue to a family. It's how the family members see their relationship with each other, and with their daily tasks. The Dippolito family knew the Christian value of work, and how work shapes the human person. Mrs. Dippolito told me, "Each child had a responsibility. We butchered our meat; we had a dairy cow. It was a mini-farm on ten acres. A priest friend used to ask us: 'Is there anything in this house that is not homemade?' [They made their own butter, and altar candles.] Some of the talents they have they learned from their grandparents. I sew, but now my kids make my clothes for me. I gave to them, but look what I got back!"
This attitude stands in sharp contrast to the "give your children all they want" mentality, for which Mrs. Dippolito has some strong words: "No. That's the worst thing that you could do! Just providing everything their heart desires that's absolutely wrong. They need to develop their talents. Doing is learning. They have to be doers. This was the law of the family: by doing they were learning. By working for something they respect it. The more you give, there's your happiness; that's what you have to teach your children."
Mrs. Dippolito speaks of the joy she has in her children: "Watching them grow, seeing the things that they give back. Seeing them become good citizens. My daughter is a nurse and has helped bring people back to life. Look at the great joys! You watch them take their first step, say their first word – these are things that money can't buy! The blessings far outweigh the hardships. The world dwells on the hardships. Everything has pain and joy with it. You have to take the bitter with the sweet. We aren't in heaven yet!"
The next time you hear someone say, "Two children are more than enough," pass along the story of Mrs. Dippolito.
