[Intro: Snoop Dogg]
[Hook: Snoop Dogg]
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
Lick on these nuts and suck the dick
Gets the fuck out after you're done
And I hops in my ride to make a quick run
[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
I used to know a bitch named Eric Wright
We used to roll around and fuck the hoes at night
Tighter than a motherfucka with the gangsta beats
And we was balling on the motherfucking Compton streets
Peep, the shit got deep and it was on
Number 1 song after number 1 song
Long as my motherfucking pockets was fat
I didn't give a fuck where the bitch was at
But she was hanging with a white bitch doing the shit she do
Sucking on his dick just to get a buck or 2
And the few ends she got didn't mean nothing
Now she's suing cause the shit she be doing ain't shit
Bitch can't hang with the streets, she found herself short
So now she's taking me to court
It's real conversation for your ass
So recognize, and pass to Daz
[Verse 2: Dat Nigga Daz]
Now as I'm rolling with my nigga Dre and Eastwood
Fucking hoes, clocking dough - up to no good
We flip-flop and serve hoes like flapjacks
(Snoop: But we don't love them hoes) Bitch, and it's like that
This is what you look for in a ho who got cash flow
You run up in them hoes and grab the cash
And get your dash on
While you're chilling with your homies and shit
And how my niggas kick the anthem like this
(Snoop: Beyach!)
[Hook: Snoop Dogg]
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
Lick on these nuts and suck the dick
Gets the fuck out after you're done
And I hops in my ride to make a quick run
[Verse 3: Kurupt]
To the store, to get me a 4-0
Snoop Doggy-Dogg paged, that must mean more hoes
So I head down the street to Long Beach
Just so I could meet a freak
To lick me from my head to my feet
And I'm here, now I'm ready to be done up
Nothing but homies around, so I puts my gun up
Bitches on my nuts like clothes
But I'm from Tha Pound and "we don't love them hoes"
How could you trust a ho? (Snoop: Why?)
Cause a ho's a trick
We don't love them tricks (Snoop: Why?)
Cause a trick's a bitch
And my dick's constantly in her mouth
And turning them trick-ass hoes the fuck out now
[Verse 4: Snoop Dogg]
I once had a bitch named Mandy May
Used to be all in them guts like every day
The pussy was the bomb, had a nigga on sprung
I was in love like a motherfucka, licking the pearl tongue
The homies used to tell me that she wasn't no good
But I'm the maniac in black, Mr. Snoop Eastwood
So I figure niggas wouldn't trip with mine
Guess what? Got gaffled by one-time
I'm back to the motherfucking county jail
6 months on my chest, now it's time to bail
I gets released on a hot sunny day
My nigga D.O.C. and my homie Dr. Dre
Scooped in a coupe, "Snoop we got news
Your girl was tricking while you was draped in your county blues"
I ain't been out a second
And already gotta do some motherfucking chin-checkin'
Move up the block as we groove down the block
See my girl's house, "Dre, pass the Glock"
Kick in the do', I look on the flo'
It's my little cousin Daz and he's fucking my ho, yo
(Bitches ain't shit)
I un-cock my shit...I'm heart-broke but I'm still loc'ed
Man, fuck a bitch!
[Hook: Snoop Dogg]
Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks
Lick on these nuts and suck the dick
Gets the fuck out after you're done
And I hops in my ride to make a quick run
[Verse 5: Jewell]
I don't give a fuck about a bitch
But I and her know that they can't fade this
Cause I'm doin my own thing down with the swang
I'm hanging with Death Row like it ain't no thang
I say you know you can't deal, cause I'm a bitch that's real
Motherfuckers need to step back, hell yeah they need to chill
Because I don't give a fuck, and I don't give a fuck
And I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck
And now I gotta do some shit that's clean
But when I'm on a dick, hell yeah, I get real mean, hah
Like a washing machine I can wash the clothes
All the hoes knows that I'm on the flo', ho
But they can't hang with my type on swang
I ain't trying to say I suck every ding-a-lang
But just the juicy ones with the tip of the tongue
And then they're sprung, and with the nuts hung
[Outro: Snoop Dogg]
Just where you think you'd find some meme-rap misogyny, you find Dre complaining about being left for a white man (Jerry Heller), Snoop narrating a forlorn tale of betrayal, and then (female rapper) Jewell deconstructing the phrase "on my nuts"! One of the greatest Gangsta Rap songs of all time.

At first curvaceous Calamity is too darned busy fighting Indians and cracking a bullwhip to pay mind to such girlie what-alls as dresses and perfume. And Wild Bill is too danged busy wooing a dainty chanteuse (Allyn McLerie) to give a hoot about a hot-headed tomboy. But things change in a rootin tootin big way when each becomes loves target.

A native of Alsace, Gabriel Kreuther was born in a region whose history has produced one of the most sophisticated cuisines in France. Raised on his family's farm in Niederschaeffolsheim, a small village north of Strasbourg, Gabriel was surrounded by fresh local produce and seasonal game. As a young child, he so impressed his mother with his varied questions about the family's daily meals that she took it upon herself to teach him everything she knew about cooking.
During school vacations, Gabriel often visited his uncle who owned a bustling hotel and restaurant in the nearby mountains. At barely 12 years old, Gabriel helped out everywhere; it wasn't long before he found the kitchen. He later attended culinary school at École Hôtelière in Strasbourg from 1984-1987.
Gabriel's auspicious beginnings paid off in 1987, when he won the prestigious "Concours National du Meilleur Apprenti Cuisinier de France – Fernand Point," a highly competitive national contest which determines the "Best Kitchen Apprentice in France" from among 170 nominees. As part of his award, Gabriel was given a gastronomical tour of North Africa.
Bitten by the travel bug while still in school, Gabriel embarked upon a work-exchange program in Washington, D.C. as the chef de partie at Le Caprice, where he remained for 18 months. He returned to France in 1990 to fulfill his commitment to the armed services. A year later he accepted a position in Germany as sous chef for renowned Chef Franz Keller. He returned to France a year later and worked as chef de partie at the Michelin one-star restaurant Le Fer Rouge in Colmar. Gabriel then spent three and a half years as executive sous chef at Switzerland's L'Ermitage de Bernard Ravet, a Michelin two-star restaurant. It was here that Gabriel developed a mastery of artisanal French cooking, using native herbs, plants and other ingredients organically grown on the premises to bring out the inherent flavors of a dish.
Intrigued by what he was hearing about the New York restaurant scene, Gabriel arrived in New York in July 1997. For several months he worked as a sous chef at La Caravelle. In the fall of 1997, Gabriel moved to Restaurant Jean-Georges where he held the position of Chef de Cuisine from November 1997 through his appointment as Executive Chef at Atelier in The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park in January 2002.
During Gabriel's tenure as chef de cuisine, Restaurant Jean-Georges maintained its four-star status conferred by The New York Times. The restaurant also received Exxon-Mobil's Five-Star Award.
At Atelier, Gabriel received accolades from every major New York area food critic and publication. Gabriel was named one of Food & Wine Magazine's prestigious "America's Best New Chefs" in 2003. Under Gabriel's leadership, Atelier was nominated for "Best New Restaurant" in 2003 by the James Beard Foundation, received a three-star rating from The New York Times in August 2003, and also received The American Academy of Hospitality Sciences' coveted "Five Star Diamond" award.
Now at The Modern, Gabriel continues to garner critical acclaim and generate accolades for the restaurant. During its first year, The Modern was named "Best New Restaurant" by Esquire Magazine, received one Michelin star, was named a Top Rated Newcomer 2005 by Zagat Survey, and was awarded "Best New Restaurant" by Time Out New York. The Modern holds Three Stars from The New York Times, and won the 2006 James Beard Foundation Awards for both "Best New Restaurant" and "Outstanding Restaurant Design." Having been nominated in 2006, 2007, and 2008, Gabriel himself won the James Beard Foundation Award for "Best Chef: New York City" in 2009.

Welcome to Laguna Creek Orthodontics, a respected provider in your orthodontic care community. Conveniently located in Elk Grove, California, our practice's top priority is to provide you the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment. We serve the communities of Elk Grove, Laguna Creek, Franklin, Galt, Lodi, Meadowview, and Sacramento.
Dr. Mark Douglas, Dr. Jamson Wu and their staff use the latest technological advances in the industry, along with the latest in computer technology, to ensure that you receive the most effective care. They understand how important a straight, beautiful smile is, which is why they offer the following state-of-the-art materials and revolutionary procedures:
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.
Invisalign® is a teeth-straightening system that uses clear, plastic aligners that are virtually invisible. No one will notice you are straightening your teeth unless you tell them!
Self-ligating braces offer several benefits for patients. They use a self-ligation technique using lighter wires and lower friction brackets to move teeth, while resulting in faster treatment times due to its slide mechanism, strong, mechanical base bonding and solid walls structured to control tooth movement with speed and efficiency. In addition to greater comfort, self-ligating braces make it easier to maintain good hygiene because they are easier to keep clean. This contributes to greater health, happiness and physical attractiveness for the duration of patient treatment.
To treat abnormalities of the facial bones, which cause pain and difficulty eating, speaking and sleeping, we sometimes recommend orthognathic surgery, also known as corrective jaw surgery.
We recognize that every patient has different needs, and we pride ourselves in the courteous service we deliver to patients of all ages – whether they're an adult, adolescent or child.
At Laguna Creek Orthodontics, we're making smiles brighter, one smile at a time!

Los Shucos Latin Hot Dogs: Fab street eats in the Mission
Updated 9:32 am, Thursday, May 8, 2014
Some of the best hot dogs in the city are coming out of the tiny kitchen at Los Shucos.
But these aren't standard ballpark franks; these are Guatemalan street hot dogs, served on soft, freshly baked bread, topped with fresh ingredients and, in most cases, slathered with copious amounts of creamy avocado.
Diners line up at the counter and choose from seven options. One of the most popular choices is El De La Foto ("the one in the picture"; $7.95). It's the size of a typical Mission burrito, and consists of a thick, bacon-wrapped beef frank topped with fresh salsa, squashed avocado, mayo and repollo (cabbage), all atop that aforementioned bread - which, by the way, is worth a visit on its own. Baked daily at a neighboring bakery, it gets a quick toast on the grill to maintain its integrity throughout the entire delightfully messy frankfurter-eating process.
The namesake El Shuco Original ($5.95) gives you the option of a beef frank or a not-so-spicy Spanish-style chorizo. The chorizo comes sliced and piled high in the bun, which is also stuffed with avocado, mayo, mustard and cabbage. Make sure you get napkins. Or a bib.

That said, Los Shucos is no grimy hole-in-the-wall. It's bright, clean and thoughtfully decorated, with a handful of seats. Owner Sofia Keck has even added something not usually seen on the streets of Guatemala: a veggie dog option.

Photographer's Note
This area has a temporary stream that use to have some water during few days in the year, these dunes closed the way transforming the area in a temporary swamp, the water goes to the subterranean areas and the trees can get some water during the rest of the year. This area is named Deadvlei, it was an area where the stream was closed by the dunes and the water no more arrived there, killing those trees. The place is a masterpiece of nature.
Esta região tem uma torrente temporária que flui apenas durante uns poucos dias no ano, criando um pântano temporário bloqueado pelas dunas. As águas descem para o subsolo e alimentam as árvores durante meses. Esta região que vocês estão vendo na foto ficou isolada da torrente e as árvores morreram. Este lugar, Deadvlei, é uma obra prima da natureza.

After much research and debate I decided to purchase the wave radio with bluetooth adapter. I do agree with other reviewers that the product is overpriced for an outdated clock radio. However the sound is incredible and the operation is simple and flawless. I'm no audiophile and the base is little strong but the sound is rich and clear and fills the whole room nicely. Bose has has done a good job refining this product over the years and the results are very nice.

About Me Practical, Technically Challenged
I leave my radio on in my bedroom all day so I can hear it any time I am in that part of the house. When my VERY OLD but much loved clock radio died recently I had a very tough time finding a replacement. After a few failed attempts to order what I thought would be an acceptable clock radio I bit the bullet to spring for one I have always wanted but felt was too much of a luxury. The dealer had a great price, no shipping and no tax, so I ordered it. It arrived the day it was promised, and I have nothing but praise for the radio and the dealer. I could not be more pleased.
Great sound, easy to use
By SoCal remodeler
from Long Beach
Bought one of these 10 years ago, used it on work sites and its still going strong. This newest version is pretty similar, so hope to get long life from it as well. They are pricey units, but are comparable to a Dr Dre beats or a Sonos unit price wise. Bluetooth adapter links your computer music library, but seems odd the adapter is just not built in to the unit at this price point. ABT was great, no sales tax!

I have to admit that I did pass on Netossa due to loose joints, skimpy accessories/higher prices, and black stains, but my small overall MOTUC collection now has She-Ra, Swiftwind, Frosta, and Catra. I never even knew about these characters existing and would have never bought them before I started collecting. Now Madame Razz, Castaspella, Glimmer, Kowl, and Loo-Kee are on the top of my most wanted list of upcoming MOTUC. :shgrin:

The Ottawa Hills School District has revised the policy on head lice in accordance with changes from the Centers for Disease Control, superintendent Kevin Miller said.
He assured residents, "We don't have trouble with head lice here. It's almost a moot point."
Lice are spread by person-to-person contact; diagnosis is made by "finding a live nymph or adult louse on the scalp or hair of a person," according to the CDC.
Mr. Miller said the district's policy change reflects the CDC wording.

Cheryl Cole left devastated again
Cheryl has reportedly told her ex-hubby to delete her number and leave her alone following the reports of her flint with Virgin Atlantic crew member named Kerry Meades. "Once again Ashley appears to have outdone himself. Just as Cheryl"s getting back on track and working really hard on her music he does this. She is humiliated. Ashley had organised a family-gathering, a barbecue, for when he got back from pre-season training in the Far East. This has now been scrapped," Sunday Mirror quoted a source close to the singer as saying.
"Cheryl told him on the phone yesterday that clearly Ashley isn"t yet ready to be a committed family man. At one point they had a blazing row and Cheryl basically said she was through with him and told Ashley to delete her number and leave her alone. Cheryl is determined to keep her head down now and focus on work. What will be with Ashley will be. But it can wait." The source added: "Although, in his defence, they weren"t officially back together when he had this fling so, technically they were free agents then," added the source.
However, Cheryl is said to be fuming with anger, as Ashley bedded Kerry after he made move to win her back.. He has been sleeping with the air hostess since 2004 and just 11 days before Cheryl's birthday party. Adding more salt to the wounds, Kerry said that Ashley won't change his ways.
"He betrayed us both. It"s obvious the lingerie was for Cheryl"s birthday. He obviously wanted to hide it. She should tread-carefully. The whole time I was with him he acted like a single man. I don"t think Ashley has any idea how to be faithful to a woman. I"m certain he will never change. I thought he was serious about me and I definitely have feelings for him. Now, I see he was getting back with Cheryl the whole time we were together. I feel sorry for Cheryl," said Kerry.

Inventory systems in adventure games have "gotten out of hand", industry keystone Ron Gilbert firmly asserts as he leans into the arm of a dark leather sofa in an underground cavern near Waterloo that's been decked out with fake camp fires and real fir trees. His face, though eerily lit by a builder's light, shows he's proud that his latest game The Cave is an adventure title with no inventory at all. As we chat, he also reveals that this decision was one of the things that worried him most. "I think we'd gotten to a place where people were spending huge amounts of time in their game, sifting through collected items to find, perhaps randomly, the right one before slotting it into place. That's not an adventure. I thought that getting rid of the inventory and making traversal fun would make for a great game and…, well, it's just one little step forward hopefully, in mind of how adventure games are made. I'm really pleased that it's turned out so well but I was worried. It sounds horrible, but I'm always surprised when people enjoy something I make, because at the back of my head I think 'This is just rubbish, this is horrible, nobody is going to like this, they're going to take away my game designer licence, I'm not going to be able to do this!'"
It's refreshing to see that Gilbert, despite having been responsible for several classic Lucas Arts titles like Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island and Deathspank, would sincerely display the humble worries more associated with first time developers when thinking about how their game will be received by the public. A self-proclaimed grumpy gamer, Gilbert has garnered many fans over the years thanks to his contribution to the unique humour, style and experience that defined what adventure gaming was back in the late 80s. Now he aims to re-examine the genre with an idea that he's been cultivating for over 25 years. "I'm very slow at making games!" Gilbert laughs. "It was never really fully formed and was about these three rip off Indiana Jones characters, this talking cave and they go into it. That was it. I'd drawn this big map – I love to draw big weird maps – and I thought about it for maybe 10 or 15 minutes, not a lot, every year. It was more of a Limbo style game with environmental puzzles and slowly it morphed into an adventure game. Then very recently I added the seven characters."Borrowing ideas from his earlier Maniac Mansion game, players select three different characters from a cast of seven with each character able to carry only one item at a time as they bounce, scuttle, fly, march and traverse deeper into the winding, puzzle filled cave. "My favourite character is the Knight, I just like him. I like the puzzles in the castle, the dragon and his animations. He's a knight and he always looks afraid; I kinda like that and it's kinda fun. If I was knight, I'd be totally afraid. I don't think being a knight was all sitting around a round table, drinking wine, there was this danger element." Our favourite character of course is the time traveller.
During a typical run through, there are sections of the cave suited to each respective hero – the Hillbilly searches for his true love at a carnival, the knight seeks a sword hidden in a castle. Each has a unique ability that helps them progress through The Cave's tunnels whilst at other times, all three chosen characters have to work together to complete the puzzles, though The Cave can only be fully explored with multiple play throughs. There's a very light platforming element to the game with the focus being on simply having fun running around rather than expertly timing jumps or levelling up a character to progress. That's not to say The Cave is dumbing down the experience as there's some darn tootin' thinking to be dun! Back with the Hillbilly at the carnival, we were stumped on a wheel of fortune style colour guessing game that was impossible to predict without the help of a fortune teller sat in a remote booth on the other side of the level. Using one character to find the teller's desired item and having another back at the wheel to stop it at the right time was part of a long chain of puzzles that happily linked together with humourous results. "Gamers today are very interested in that moment by moment gameplay." Gilbert observes. "What are you doing this second? What are you doing that second? Traditional point and click adventure games lack that moment by moment game play. It's a lot about thinking, meditating as you stared at the screen, which was very enjoyable in the day. If you're stuck with a puzzle, the thing you experience when you're playing The Cave is that you don't put the controller down, lean back on the couch and puzzle over the problem. What people do is they take the character and they just run the character around the level. Just that action of running and jumping distracts part of your brain and allows you to subconsciously work on the puzzles a little bit."
For the most part this works really well in the couple of sections we have played so far. It has the charm of a classic adventure game but feels up to date whilst all the tools you need to solve puzzles are within the intentionally confined area. "I really did want this to be just a classic adventure game. When I look at a game like Limbo, I think what a brilliant game, but it wasn't an adventure game. Those kind of environmental and physics puzzles were tonnes of fun to do, tonnes of fun to solve and I'm surprised that more people don't pick up the comparison. When we first announced the game with the trailer, it's true that everyone said 'Oh, it's a puzzle platformer.' I'm like 'No it's not a puzzle platformer, it's an adventure game!' As people have finally been able to play the game, it's really nice to hear people come back and say I totally understand now, it's an adventure game and that just makes me feel really good, because it kind of means that we've achieved our goal."Gilbert is not only attempting to redefine what an adventure game might be, but what a cave might be! Sheltered dwellings of stone for humans and animals for thousands of years, Gilbert's cave is more like falling down Alice's rabbit hole as you feed hungry dinosaurs and ride Ferris wheels underground. "I don't know what caves you visit, but mine have Ferris wheels and evil castles in them! I've always thought that adventure games work well in confined environments; Monkey Island for example. If I'm playing a game where I can fly from LA to NYC and I'm looking for a pencil and apparently the only pencil on the planet is in NYC, I think 'Why can't I just run to the stationary store and buy a pencil?' The Cave provides this nice constraint that doesn't break your suspension of disbelief; you buy the fact that we're constrained and that's why there's only one pencil in the world!"
Clearly one with a close affinity to confined spaces, we leave Mr Gilbert in the dark and damp bowels of London and head out in search of light fun.

AMC Considers Mob Series Based on 'Goodfellas'
Move over, Don Draper and Walter White – AMC's about to move some new bad guys onto the block in the form of a Goodfellas television series.
Deadline reports that the cable network – who's home to the wildly popular Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead – has expressed serious interest in crafting a weekly series built around Martin Scorsese's 1990 mob classic. The film, which was based on Mitch Pileggi's nonfiction book Wiseguy, followed the exploits of Lucchese crime family associate-turned-informant Henry Hill. Ray Liotta played Hill in the theatrical version, working alongside Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Pesci won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in the film.
Talks of converting the feature into a television series first popped up in 2010, but it now appears to be picking up steam as we move into the new year.
Pileggi and TV scribe Jorge Zamacona will handle the writing duties for the series. The duo will also executive produce, along with Irwin Winkler and his son David, for Warner Horizon Television – a subsidiary of Warner Bros., who produced the original film.
Things are still in the early stages of development, so it's too soon to even guess who might play what roles on the show when it eventually gets to the shooting phase. That being said, Goodfellas as a series would seem right at home on AMC – particularly since it could conceivably fill the void left after Breaking Bad wraps up after its fifth season.
Would you tune in for a Goodfellas series? Could it be AMC's answer to The Sopranos? And is there enough fresh material here to keep folks tuning in each week? Only time will tell.
Which one of these people is in the movie Assassin's Creed?

A hi-tech tennis coach at courtside
27 January 2014 Last updated at 07:11 GMT
Tennis equipment has come a long way since the days of the simple wooden racquet with catgut strings.
Metal and then carbon models appeared on the market, and now computer technology is being embedded in one of the newer tennis racquets on the market.
Packed with sensors detecting string vibration and movement, the device works with a smartphone (over Bluetooth) or plugs into a computer (via USB).
But this tech revolution has also led the International Tennis Federation to change its rulebook, and to introduce a programme to approve the new equipment for use in its tournaments.
The BBC has been behind the scenes at tennis laboratories to see what is involved. LJ Rich reports.

"Based on the mandate given by the people to the state, and in preservation of the country's higher interest, the cabinet has delegated the interior ministry to proceed with all legal measures to confront acts of terrorism and road-blocking," said interim information minister Dorreya Sharaf El-Din in a cabinet statement Wednesday evening.
"The cabinet has reviewed the country's security situation and has concluded that the dangerous situation in Rabaa and Nahda Squares, including the terrorist acts and road-blocking that has occurred, is no longer acceptable as it constitutes a threat to the country's national security," El-Din added.
Egypt's interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim announced on 27 July that the police and the army were working in coordination to discuss a suitable day for dispersing the two pro-Morsi sit-ins, which hold tens of thousands of protesters.
Ibrahim's statement came following mass demonstrations in Cairo and other cities responding to army chief Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's call for Egyptians to take to the street on 26 July and give the army a "popular mandate to confront terrorism and violence." The Egyptian presidency later accused Morsi supporters of orchestrating organised attacks against the opposing protesters.
In the hours following Friday's protests, police clashed with Morsi supporters near the Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square sit-in, where at least 80 protesters were killed.
Supporters of the elected Morsi – deposed by El-Sisi on 3 July following nationwide protests – continue to press for his reinstatement through demonstrations that have often turned into violent clashes with police forces and unknown assailants.
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, has rejected political negotiations, insisting that 3 July was a coup d'état and that Morsi must be reinstated before any dialogue takes place.

After enjoying the year's second biggest opening, Sajid Khan's mad-cap comedy venture has gone past the coveted Rs 100 crore mark in less than 20 days
Critics hated it and those with taste for meaningful cinema abhorred it. But if we go by the numbers then Sajid Khan's star- studded comedy flick, Housefull 2 has turned out to be a success, monetarily speaking!
Sajid Nadiadwala's production had opened to an unprecedented Rs 42 crore in its first weekend itself. And now the film has gone on to cross the much-coveted 100 crore mark and has become the second biggest film of 2012 after Agneepath.
When the biggest filmmakers with their ambitious venture are uncertain of releasing their film in the season that is ruled by IPL matches, Sajid Khan dared to release Housefull 2. And the gamble clearly paid off. The film did not face any competition at the box office as no other big film released alongside this movie. Housefull 2 got a remarkably fabulous response and one of the biggest openings in Delhi, UP and North Punjab.

WQXR's Met Opera Preview: The Enchanted Island
Tuesday, December 06, 2011
On New Year's Eve, the Metropolitan Opera will host the World Premier of The Enchanted Island, a Baroque pastiche that brings together the music of Handel, Vivaldi and Rameau, among others, with the characters and setting from two Shakespearean plays.
At 7:30 pm on Wednesday, Dec. 7, WQXR will host an Enchanted Island preview event in the Greene Space to explore what's behind the new production and feature some of its performers. The evening, which will be broadcast as a live video webcast, will include arias and duets by countertenor David Daniels, sopranos Danielle de Niese, Layla Claire and Lisette Oropesa, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong and bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni, as well as conversations with creator Jeremy Sams, conductor William Christie and the director-designer team of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch. WQXR's Midge Woolsey hosts.
A pastiche means an artistic collection or mélange and in The Enchanted Island, Sams, who wrote the new libretto, places the four lovers from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream on Prospero's island from The Tempest. It's all set to the music of Baroque composers including Handel, Leclair, Vivaldi and Rameau.

@ Siran Grigorian: the aria is "Ch'io parta?" from Partenope (Haendel), sung by David Daniels.
I actually have a question. With so many Baroque composers in the mix of "the Enchanted
Island", who is the composer of the exquisite Forgiveness Aria" in the opera, and who is
singing it?
Many thanks for response.
Siran Grigorian
Though Handel is my favorite composer, I do find his operas tedious at times and wish he had arrived at this oratorio style earlier in life.
If I remember correctly, there was a Victorian work given in a "monster performance" composed of bits and pieces of Handel with a new libretto that is now long forgotten. The question arises whether this sort of thing is the best artistic form. Suppose someone wrote an opera about a diva who proceeds to sing all the well known arias in the course of the performance. Would this be a work of merit?
Frankly, I wish some composer would be brave enough to write in an authentic neo-Baroque style. I never understood why we must always be limited by present day trends and not be able to look back.

YPSILANTI, Mich. — For Eastern Michigan University football coach Ron English, the 52-6 defeat against Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee last Saturday night just means another trip to the drawing board and find the solution to his problem.
His defense still makes too many mistakes ; the missed assignments, the amount of missed tackles and the sure call of untimely penalties still keeps English's head moving back and forth in disbelief and now you can almost see the tears forming out of frustration.
English is a proud man and he is a good man, he arrived at Eastern Michigan University back on Dec. 22, 2008 from the University of Louisville, he came back home to an area he knew a great deal of success, he came to the Eagles as a coach who knows how to coach defenses.
"When we began the search for a new head football coach at Eastern Michigan University we wanted someone that we felt could take our program in a new direction," Eastern Michigan University Director of Athletics Dr. Derrick Gragg said after hiring his football coach. "After going through an exhaustive search process we selected Ron English to lead our football program.
"He has proven himself as a tremendous defensive coordinator," Gragg said. "Over a long career and we feel that he is prepared to take over our football team."
The record is 0-18, but almost every week English provides a slim chance of hope that the streak will come to a merciful end with a victory, English said at one time this team does not need any more moral victories. He is referring to the inspired play of the Eagles at the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University games.
The Eagles did show some pride and they did play hard in stadiums that hold over 100,000 people but the coaches, the school and the fans that pour there heart and soul into this program just like English, are ready for a victory.
The Eagle road show continues this week with a trip to the cornfields of Muncie, Indiana and the home of Mid-American Conference West Division foe Ball State University.
The Cardinals are coming into Saturday's game after a lackluster performance last Saturday afternoon against Western Michigan University, dropping a 45-16 decision to the Broncos and as Ball State University football coach Stan Parrish described as an ugly game for the Cardinals.
"That was not our team out there today," Parrish said after the game. "Give Western Michigan all the credit but we certainly help their cause."
Ball State committed four turnovers against the Broncos of the Cardinals first five possessions, the turnovers created a 28-0 deep hole that the Cardinals could not pull themselves out.
Cardinal starting quarterback Keith Wenning was directed to the bench by Parrish in the second half after going one of eight and throwing two interceptions and unable to recover a bad snap that hit him in the ankle while he was in a shotgun formation during the first half.
If Eastern Michigan University offense can play with an inspiration that they showed at Ohio State University and at times against Vanderbilt University and then get some combination of scores it just might be enough to get into the minds of the Ball State University players.
The Eagle defense needs to create a couple of turnovers and give the offense a short field to work with or another offensive chance to score some points it just might be enough to send the Ball State players into their locker room shaking their heads in disbelief.
For that to happen the Eagles defense will have to play their best game of the season, they will have to do all the little things that English and his defensive coordinator Phil Snow have been teaching.
The defense linemen will have to be in their gaps, they are going to have step up and not be afraid to hit somebody and make a tackle. The defenses backfield is going to make sure and understand the assignments and look for the chance to make an interception instead of gambling and losing and watching a big play develop behind them.
The linebackers will have be able to contain the Cardinals tailback MiQuale Lewis who ran for 64 yards against the Broncos and pass Ball State legend Bernie Parmalee in the Ball State record book as the second leading rusher in Cardinal history.
The defensive line must find away to get into the backfield and disrupt the offensive flow and get into the face of the freshman quarterback Wenning if that happen maybe the defense can also get into the head Wenning too but Snow will have to get some kind of blitz package together to put pressure on the Cardinal quarterback.
The key to that style of defensive play will have to be playing with emotion but playing with discipline, play like as a defender who knows the rules of the game.
No defensive penalties, make the tackle clean and legal, make the pass break up with out interference and sack the quarterback without the roughing the passer call. The defense needs to put the offense and the rest of the team in a place were winning in Muncie, Indiana is a reality and not just another dream that fades away into the cornfield.
The offense for the Eagles will be going up against highly emotional Cardinal defense they want prove that they are a strong squad and the loss to the Broncos was out of character.
Sophomore middle linebacker for the Cardinals Travis Freeman provides the anchor and the leadership for the Cardinal defense, he made 14 tackles against the Broncos.
"We have to be consistent," Freeman said after the game against Western Michigan University. "Consistency is the name of the game in college football. Consistency is a must in this league."
The Eagle offense will need to take control of the game early and take advantage of any mistake the Cardinals give them, the idea is to put pressure on the young Cardinals with their own threat of getting a big play from either the running game or from the passing game, it is chance to get inside the Cardinals' head and a chance to get them to doubt themselves.
English and the rest of the athletic department say that they are building for the future and he wants to change the atmosphere of losing the shrouds this program, the only way for the gloom of disappear to be lifted would be a miracle from the farmland that surrounds Muncie, Indiana and Ball State University.

Blogger Contributor Hair DIY
Ivory Purple
Orchid Ranunculus
'Tis the season for dressing up for those holiday parties! However, when it comes time to tackle my hair, I tend to be rather boring. You can usually find me rocking it down and straight, but not this year. I've been inspired to liven my locks with this DIY lush floral hair comb. And if you're in the mood to do the same, I've broken down the process just for you (it's easy, I swear!)
A hair comb
Floral tape
Flowers and greenery of your liking
Cut the stems of the flowers so they are no longer than the comb, they can be shorter.
Wrap the heartier blooms with floral tape to keep the moisture in the stems.
Start wiring the stems to the comb. I do this one or two stems at a time. Simply place the flower at the top of the comb and wrap the wire around the stem and through the spokes of the comb. Wrap tight enough to secure the stem, but not too tight that you break it.
Continue wiring flowers and greenery to the comb by layering and strategically placing them to cover any exposed wire.
(Optional) If the wire that is exposed on the side that goes into your hair bothers you, you can glue ribbon over the wire to cover it.
Once you think you have enough blooms and a design that you love, you're done! Place it in your gorgeous hair and you're ready to enjoy the night.

There are many zealous scrapbookers who are on the look out to make their scrapbooks more interesting and attractive. Vellum, a delicate paper is efficient in doing that. Using it a number of times gives impressive results. Since, it is less porous and more transparent there are certain techniques and ideas involved in using this paper. Vellum is quite popular among scrapbook makers especially because of it's remarkable results. It can be repeated without making the look of your work boring. The best part being that it can be altered depending upon your wishes and desires.
Attaching vellum to the scrapbook might be a problem for many scrappers. You cannot attach vellum wet adhesive because it will curl. Special adhesive which are made specially for using vellum should be used, as they do not show up. Attach vellum with brads and eyelets, so the adhesive will not shown and it gives the embellishment a little more depth and texture.Vellum can also be colored by special scrapbook pens. Turn it over and draw on the back for a muted effect.The marker lines merge perfectly to give that smooth look.It can be used for quoting letters and creating outlined shapes. you can even use a pen which is specifically made for scrapbook decorations to fill in the letters and shapes.
Vellum can be torn easily. You can tear even very narrow edges from a piece of vellum. This will give it a whole new texture which will look great on scrapbooking layouts. While working with vellum one should be careful to not to tear their own quotations. Vellum also holds ink really well. You can ink the edges of cut or torn vellum to give it some dimension and definition to the edges. This works very well when you have to put the vellum on a lighter piece of patterned paper. It helps the vellum pop off of the page. You can put vellum on your tags. This is an easy way to prepare tags. Ink, ribbon, brads, buttons, or anything else can be used in your scrapbooking stash to further decorate the tags.
Yes, but sometimes you find the perfect quote for a particular layout but the shape or size of the vellum piece just doesn't fit, so use scissors to cut the quote line by line or even by the word to place on the exact location of your layout. You can even make a border around two edges of a scrapbook layout or you can use even a small sheet of vellum with a quote for a large title. The edges can be torn to make it appear good.At the end, you'll surely get to know that vellum is a great way to accent any scrapbook page you are working on. Vellum is really fragile and hence has to be used carefully. Some extra time might be taken in doing this, but the outcome can be quite good.

Dale Pelton, 70, said he is convinced that a bobcat he used to see several times a week on his land was taken by a trap.
âShe was a fairly friendly cat,â Pelton said, adding that he hasnât seen the animal since mid-December.
Pelton owns vacation rentals on the park boundary. One afternoon, while he was showing new guests to their lodgings, âshe was just sauntering around the pool like she owned it. Most bobcats wouldnâtâ do that.
âWhen that cat was taken off this land, it was like I lost my soul, like my land had lost its soul.â
Pelton and other bobcat defenders say they are concerned that a jump in pelt prices â" from about $80 in 2010 to current prices of $400 or more â" will encourage more trapping in the area. Figures from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife show the number of bobcats harvested in California went from 623 during the 2009-2010 season to 1,499 for the 2011-2012 season, a 140 percent increase. The figures are based on reports from licensed trappers and pelt dealers.
Trapping advocates say few of the bobcats taken from the Mojave Desert are captured near Joshua Tree, primarily because of the large numbers of homes and plentiful private land in the area. The trap OâKey found on his property reportedly belonged to a Marine, who lives in Yucca Valley and is based at Twentynine Palms. The Marine, who could not be reached for comment, was quoted as saying he was unaware his trap was on private land.
Trapper Mercer Lawing, who is based in the Barstow area and maintains the bobcat trapping site cagingbobcats.com, said in an email that he knows of almost no one who traps near Joshua Tree.
âThe bobcats from (San Bernardino) County come from the East Mojave and surrounding public lands,â Lawing wrote. He called the pending legislation, AB 1213, âan ill-conceived and sloppy bill.â
Kevin Brennan is a biologist with Fish and Wildlife. He said the most popular place for trappers is the Mojave National Preserve.
Outside of tourism, Brennan said, âhunting is the No. 1 use on the Mojave preserve.â
As far as the Joshua Tree traps, he said, âIâm sure it was just one or two guys.â
Brennan said thereâs little danger of the population dwindling. In past decades, the number of bobcats taken by hunters and trappers topped 20,000 in a year.
Brennan says bobcats commonly are the subject of calls fish and wildlife officials receive regarding wild animals encroaching on populated areas.

text: First clips from Stephenie Meyer's movie The Host kind of feel like an alien TwilightMeredith Woerner3/14/13 1:40pmFiled to: hostmoviesStephenie MeyeraliensbooksAndrew Niccol471EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Maybe we're biased because we know Stephenie Meyer wrote the novel source material, but dang it if these new Host clips don't have a Twilight twang to them. Advertisement All the notes are there: a slightly sepia world, completely nonthreatening violence, and a crap load of teen love and introspection. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing — we liked the book, and besides, Saorise Ronan is always captivating. Here's hoping this Meyer movie can bring a bit more depth to the tween romance. Or at the very best, not punish everyone for having sex. Here's the next clip, set before the main character Melanie Stryder is taken over by her alien host. Update, here's another!

Made by Mullingar Pewter, this beautifully detailed Claddagh door knocker is imported directly from Ireland. The clasped hands symbolize friendship, the heart - love, and the crown - loyalty. Sure to be a traffic-stopper at your doorstep!
Just over 8" in height, and almost 4" wide. Bolt hole centers are 4 3/4" apart. Comes with mounting hardware (2 x 2 3/4" bolts with end-nuts).
Mullingar Pewter revived the ancient craft of pewter making in Ireland. Each piece is still made the traditional way by Irish men and women, trained in the old casting methods, meticulous assembly, and hand finishing.
