Brown eyes will you wait for me to follow?
I'm used to letting everybody down
I've seen your face in our shadow
Does it look as pretty in the light
Oh, will you save me from myself?
Will I save you from the rest?
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too
Full moon is there wisdom in your tide play?
The cold is come and now the love throwing everybody off
Sleep just doesn't taste the same
I'll be waiting till we're side by side once again
Old love how I wish we were an old love
I've survived all this and more
Oh, you're turning everything to dust
And the wind is picking up
Oh, brown eyes
Save a little something for me too

Improved H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) Gas Analyzer Provides 1 ppbv Sensitivity
Jun 03, 2008, 01:00 ET from Picarro, Inc.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Picarro, Inc. has introduced a new and improved analyzer for monitoring trace levels of H2S (hydrogen sulfide) in ambient air, with a lower detection limit of 1 ppbv that is an order of magnitude lower than earlier models. Based on the company's WS-CRDS (Wavelength-Scanned Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy) technology, the new Picarro G1104 H2S analyzer provides a very large dynamic range (up to 300 ppmv), operates in real time (seconds), and has no requirement for frequent calibration. Unlike H2S sensors based on competitive techniques, the G1104 H2S analyzer does not suffer from cross-talk due to changes in other ambient gas components, including other trace sulfur compounds such as SO2 and COS, as well as variations in moisture and CO2 at atmospheric levels. WS-CRDS is an ultrasensitive technology that measures the optical decay time in a flow cell using an internal laser beam with an effective path length of many kilometers. This enables the concentration of a particular species to be measured with sensitivity and precision several orders of magnitude higher than by any other optical technique. This new H2S analyzer achieves its superior precision and accuracy because it incorporates improved temperature control of the internal optical components. States Picarro President and CEO Michael Woelk, "This improved H2S performance is testament to Picarro's commitment to continued engineering to make better products that meet the changing and more demanding regulatory requirements for ambient gas analysis." The new Picarro G1104 H2S analyzer is compact and rugged with no moving parts, making it ideal for use in a wide range of sensing applications, operating equally well as a remote unattended monitor or as a state-of-the-art laboratory instrument. Specific applications include petrochemical plant emissions, in stacks, flares and flues, as well as emissions from landfills, sewage treatment plants and wastewater facilities. Picarro, Inc. is a privately held company dedicated to developing instrumentation for the highest sensitivity, precision and accuracy measurements of specific molecules of interest in environmental analyses, process monitoring, and emissions control. The company is a leader in wavelength scanned cavity ring down spectroscopy (WS-CRDS) technology with eight exclusive licenses to Stanford University patents and nine of its own on WS-CRDS extensions.

Interesting point. If you're in one of the other states that also refused the REALID requirements and are traveling thru La., would they require a passport and do they make this known up front?
Explain yourself, Id love to hear this. Im talking safety, not convenience.
The idea is to keep Americans safe, a little inconvenient maybe but worth it

ID is NOT required

Looks like it's time for everyone to get a passport. It's really a good thing to have anyways.
Have you ever flown before?

Ex-US Sen. Brown launches NH PAC; future unclearAP , Associated Press
Oct. 29, 2013 10:48 AM ET
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Former Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has launched a political action committee in New Hampshire. Brown has been mentioned as a possible candidate here or in Massachusetts but hasn't said he'll run for office. After winning the Massachusetts Senate seat held by Edward M. Kennedy until his death, Brown lost in 2012 to Elizabeth Warren. "The Peoples Seat PAC" allows Brown to donate money to statewide candidates. Brown recently put his Massachusetts home on the market. He has a vacation home in Rye, N.H., and has visited the state often to raise money for Republicans. A call to the PAC was not immediately returned Tuesday. In a fundraising letter Tuesday, New Hampshire's Democratic U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said Brown had sent a signal that he's "ready to run" against her. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Obama Rescinds Bush 'Conscience' Rule
The Obama administration revoked most of a controversial federal regulation designed to protect health-care workers who choose not to provide care they find morally objectionable. The rule was put into effect during the final days of George W. Bush's presidency, and was criticized by women's health advocates and family planning proponents who said it made it more difficult to get birth control, emergency contraception, and abortions. In the new decision, the Health and Human Services Department called the rule "unclear and potentially overbroad in scope," and rescinded almost all of it, leaving in place only longstanding protections for workers who don't want to perform abortions or sterilizations.

Via the Telegraph: AdvertisementAdvertisement"It's going really well. She's so cool," Avatar star Rodriguez told The Mirror of the fledgling romance. "When we started hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together. She's hard though. You wouldn't want to mess with her in a fight."While Delevingne is keeping busy with London Fashion Week and her new line of Mulberry handbags/backpack, the two managed to attend a secret Prince show, which sounds both incredibly romantic and exactly like something a burgeoning celebrity couple would do.

From: Happy Food,
As we mentioned in Monday's blog on YorkTest, this week is Food Intolerance Week – and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than with a tasty recipe from our gluten free favourites, Genius (www.geniusglutenfree.com). Providing a wide range of breads, baked goods and frozen products, Genius is a dream come true for those who can't eat wheat – as Wahanda content writer and gluten free eater Angharad will happily attest.
If you thought that cutting gluten out meant a life spent eating food that resembled cardboard, think again. With great products such as those from Genius and delicious recipes like this one for bruschetta to try out, we see no reason why food intolerance should stop you having fun...
Roasted peppers, fennel & courgette bruschetta
When it comes to bruschetta, your imagination really is the limit. This tasty snack can be made with a wide variety of toppings, including grilled and fresh vegetables, cured meats, cheese and fruit. Serve with drinks as nutritious nibbles, as a starter or for a simple but delicious lunch.
1. Simply cut sliced Genius white bread diagonally across into large triangles or cut out large rounds from each slice with a pastry cutter. Toast or bake the prepared bread on a baking tray at 200'C/400'F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Grill 2 red peppers on all sides until the skin is blackened. Place in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to steam for 15 minutes.
3. Thinly slice a courgette and a fennel bulb lengthways. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake in an oven preheated to 200'C/Gas Mark 6 for 20 minutes or until turning golden brown around the edges.
4. Remove the cling film and peel off the skin using a small, sharp knife. Core and deseed the skinned peppers and thinly slice.
5. Place the pepper slices into a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, season with freshly ground black pepper, stir in a tablespoon of finely shredded basil and heap onto freshly grilled Genius bread, rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.
Think that recipe sounded...well, genius? Read more about the benefits of a gluten free diet, or browse the archives of our food blog for more of our favourite recipes from Genius Foods.

Ready to make a move? Fatheads are movable and reusable.
We mean LIFE-SIZE! These huge decals match the true size of any athlete or character.
Genuine images of your sports or entertainment favorites. Fatheads bring life to any room!
Thoughtfully crafted by skilled Fathead team members in Detroit, Michigan.
Team: Charlotte Hornets
Conference: Eastern Conference
Remarks: The Hornets were established as an expansion team in 1988. However the franchise relocated to New Orleans in 2003 and the city was without a basketball team until the Charlotte Bobcats were founded in 2004. Charlotte reclaimed the Hornets name in 2014, after New Orleans changed to the Pelicans, and became a continuation of the original franchise.
The Charlotte Hornets Logo Fathead Wall Decal: Are you having a hard time finding a Charlotte Hornets poster that is BIG enough? How about one that doesn't need tape, tacks or putty? Welcome to the Charlotte Hornets Logo Fathead wall decal. An officially licensed wall decal from Fathead is huge and it stays up on its own with a low-tac adhesive that won't damage your walls. You can also move it and reuse it.
In addition to the Hornets' primary logo, you get a bunch of additional wall decals that are licensed by the NBA. You can create a dream man cave or spread them throughout your home. There isn't a wrong way to show your Hornets fandom. So forget posters and wall stickers, and Go Big - REAL.BIG. with a Fathead wall graphic of the Charlotte Hornets logo.
A Great Gift For Charlotte Hornets Fans: If you're looking for the right Charlotte Hornets gift, Fathead has the perfect wall art present that is better than any old poster or sticker. Our Charlotte Hornets Logo Fathead wall decal is perfect for a birthday, graduation, holidays or just because. This gift is one that any Hornets fan will always remember.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

ATC-XP Belay/Rappel Device
Shopping Info
Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay/Rappel Device - The ATC-XP Belay/Rappel Device by Black Diamond is the perfect climbing companion whether you are on mountaineering routes or in snow and ice conditions. Now 30% lighter than the original thanks to updated construction and machined windows through the body, the ATC-XP is a durable, versatile belay device that features multiple friction modes to handle nearly any situation or rope diameter. Offering two use modes makes it doubly handy on the cliff, the high-friction mode offers 3 times greater hold and stopping power than regular-friction mode and the durable cable holds its shape and resists getting caught up between ropes. When you want great hold and stopping power while you are chasing your dreams, you want the Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay/Rappel Device.
Click here for: Instructions Black Diamond ATC-XP Belay/Rappel Device - Accepts ropes from 7.7 to 11mm 2.3 oz (64 grams) |
When I first got this ATC, I went straight to the high friction side figuring that it would keep me safer and prevent any slips while rappelling and belaying. The thought that those extra grippers were backing up my inexperienced hands was great. In reality, I could barely rappel with the extra friction and provided some pretty bumpy belays as I tried to feed rope over the bumps. Switching to the standard side fixed both of those problems and now I love using it. I think my troubles came more from inexperience than product design, and now that I am used to it, I am happy with my ATC.
Last time I bought an ATC, there was just the original. It served me very well for many years. After using the XP, I am certain it will do just as well. The material is slick and solid, managing rope effortlessly. Though I thought the negative space in the metal was a gimmick, it offers a noticeable difference in the weight. It's extremely light. Also, those colors are straight up sexy! Great buy.
Western North Carolina
Gives smooth payout of the rope when giving slack/lowering my partner. It also grips tight on the teeth side like you would expect. Haven't tried with 8.5mm ropes, but 10mm are fine. It's pretty cool being able to see the rope feed through the device.

So accurate it requires almost a year to complete, this is the officially licensed, roadworthy replica of the Batmobile featured in the iconic 1960s TV show. Built on a custom Lincoln chassis, this crime-fighting cruiser comes standard with a 430-horsepower, 383 Blueprint Crate engine and a Monster TH350 automatic transmission. Though equipped with neither atomic batteries for power nor turbines for speed, a rear-facing propane tank creates the same afterburner effect as the original. The vehicle's cockpit honors the gadgetry of the TV series with a blinking Batphone, switch-operated electric actuators that open the hood and trunk, and a rotating red beacon to alert citizens while in pursuit of fiendish criminals. Other intriguing, if less functional, accessories include a glowing detect-a-scope screen, a Batbeam ray that raises from a hood-mounted antenna, and empty rear parachute packs. The vehicle's exterior bears all the hallmarks of its namesake, from bubble-canopy windshields to chrome "rocket" tubes behind the rear windshield. Though the original Batmobile lacked rearview mirrors, this street-legal model comes with clamp-on side mirrors as well as a rear video camera. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply. Batman and all related characters, vehicles, props, symbols, and other Batman elements, are trademarks and copyrights of DC Comics.

Don Carter of Perrysburg, who saw the film with about 200 people at Perrysburg High School, said the film was well done and portrayed the blunders and miscues that often accompany war.
"It showed the greed and how people think of themselves and what they could get rather than what they could give for the effort," he said.
The movie showed some Federalists in the young country who quickly became frustrated with a few early setbacks and gathered in Connecticut to ponder a secession movement. It was troubling to view that, Mr. Carter said.
Some of the film footage was shot on the grounds of Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, but several people in the audience were disappointed there was no portrayal of the fort's role in the War of 1812.
Gary Foreman, who helped produce and direct the dramatization, said there wasn't time to include the skirmishes at Fort Meigs and the ship battles on Lake Erie during the war.
"It seems like there was a lot of footage that showed the area around Fort Meigs, but nothing significant about its part in the war," Bill Tailford, a Sylvania-area resident, said. "Once again, the big cities like Baltimore and New Orleans got the big stage."
In the film, the area around Fort Meigs was used to show troop movements during the British invasion of Washington. Mr. Foreman explained the site was a versatile location for several events he needed to illustrate in the film. He said he may make another film that will better tell the story of how the western Lake Erie area figured in the war.
In a question-and-answer session that followed, the filmmaker was gently chided for not going into some detail about the war's aftermath and the strain put on U.S. economy.
Bart Susor, a Toledo resident, said he enjoyed the film.
"It was interesting to see all the white hairs here," he said, referring to the mostly older audience that was in attendance. "There weren't any young people here, but it was a pretty good turnout."
Sandy Nuzum, a Bowling Green resident, called the film excellent and very well produced. It drove home to her how anti-war feelings often are part of the public debate during any military conflict.
"I didn't know there were anti-war protesters back then," she said. "This film put a lot of things in perspective. People haven't changed all that much."
The film will air on the History Channel at 9 p.m. Sept. 12.

Sports Club Stats calculates each team's odds of making the playoffs, how each upcoming game will impact those odds, and how well they have to finish out to have a shot. It knows the season schedule and scores for past games. Each time the league owner sends in new scores it simulates the rest of the season by randomly picking scores for each remaining game. The weighted method takes the opponents record and home field advantage into account when randomly picking scores, so the better team is more likely to win. The 50/50 method gives each opponent an equal chance of winning each game. Both methods let an appropriate percent of games end in a tie or go into overtime in leagues where that matters. When it's finished "playing" all the remaining games it applies the league's tie breaking rules to see where everyone finished. It repeats this random playing out of the season million of times (try it yourself), keeping track of how many "seasons" each team finishes where. Finally it updates this page with the new results for you to read with your morning coffee.
To help flush out each team's highest and lowest possible seeds, I force them to win or lose all their remaining games for a small percentage of the simulation runs. All the change columns are since the end of yesterday. The biggest movers up and down are in bold. The teams are ordered by their odds of making the playoffs (more interesting than their record.) Click on a team to see its big games and what if scenarios.P G W-D-L GD: Current points, games in hand (relative to the other teams listed), wins, draws, losses, and goals delta (goals we scored - goals scored against us). A team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.Chance will make playoffs: This is what we care about. Out of the millions of simulated seasons they made the playoffs this percentage of the time. Sums the odds for the 3 seeds left of the red "playoff cut" line.Chance will finish regular season at seed: The numbers are rounded percentages, so a 0 means a very small number that rounded to 0. You can hover your mouse above a number to see the "full" percentage. If there is a blank space for a position the team never finished there after any of the millions of simulated seasons, although it still might be mathematically possible.Avg: Average finishing position at the end of the season. It is the arithmetic mean, so if they come in 1st half the time and 5th the other half the average would be 3 (even though they never actually finish 3rd). The sign is flipped so negative is bad.RPI: Ratings Percentage Index rank among all team in the league. Listed here for kicks, it does not factor into the simulation. Hover over the rank to see the actual RPI value and how many spots the rank changed (with the sign flipped so negative is bad).Strength: Expected winning percentage the weighted method uses when simulating games. To calculate we start with (depending on the league) either the current winning percentage or a fancier formula based on goals delta . Then the percentage is regressed towards the mean, a fancy way of saying nudged back towards .500, a lot early in the season and less and less as the season progresses.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. There have been numerous suits and issues raised on the question of students' records and privacy in the past year, so I wanted to provide some guidelines.
As faculty, you have the educational right to view and access student information (academic history, grades, transfer records and advising notes). This access comes with responsibilities to protect those students' records and information.
Shippensburg University does not make directory information generally available to the public. Shippensburg University limits its release of directory information for official University purposes, e.g., (1) identifying athletic team members; (2) publishing names of scholarship recipients, graduation lists and Dean's Lists; (3) issuing academic awards; (4) verifying enrollment or degree status; and (5) providing such information to organizations that are officially affiliated with the University or with whom the University has a contractual relationship. See 34 C.F.R §99.37(d). The word "Confidential" appears on many screens within Banner and is used to identify students who have requested that their directory information is not to be released. Directory information includes name, home/local addresses and phone numbers, e-mail address, enrollment status, major, degree and honors. Any information other than directory information cannot be released to anyone.
As instructors, you have access to students' grades. Grades are private information and only the student is able to view this information. This includes parents and spouses. It is Shippensburg's policy that we do not discuss a student's record with anyone over the phone. If a parent wants information concerning a student, they must first prove they claimed the student on their income taxes and then the request must be in writing and your response should be in writing. The student must give written permission to allow you to share grades with anyone who is not part of the student's educational interest.
Social Security numbers are private information. You may not use this number or a portion of this number to post grades in public view. Graded papers should be given to students in class or left with staff to keep in the building office for pick up. Leaving papers outside your office for students to go through is not protecting our students' privacy.
As advisors, you have access to student's transcripts and transfer evaluations. These are to be kept private as well. Whether the files are in your administrative office or your own private office, please keep these files from view when you aren't working with the student.
If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar's Office for clarification.

Johnny is a fifteen year old soldier with a small commando unit, and together this team robs, pillages, and kills everyone and everything in their path.

TENCER: The Chase
by Dan Tencer / Edmonton OilersPhoto by Andy Devlin / Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club
In between the Vancouver and Los Angeles games, I went to the movies with some friends on Friday night. As the movie started, the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Red Wings were in OT playing a game with an impact on the playoff picture for the Oilers. I was the jerk in the theatre that couldn't keep his nose out of the phone until the game was over, because it was April 5th and the scoreboard mattered.
It was the first time in a great many seasons that the scoreboard mattered in April, and that's a big step for this team.
So, to heck with the math. I don't want to know how many games need to be won to get in or who the team is mostly likely to catch or what the odds are of this, that or the other. I just want to be able to look down at the standings and up at the game in front of me and know that it matters. And this year, in April, they matter.
Between March 10 and April 3, the Oilers put together an 8-2-2 run to get themselves back into contention and, for an evening, in a playoff spot. That run included an 0-2-1 section, for those of you getting jumpy about the last couple of games. They rolled into that 2nd-to-last game on the marathon road trip in Chicago and were smacked in the face with the reality that they had better start finding some results, or the scoreboard in April wouldn't matter.
They stepped up, and now it matters.
I'm not sure whether they'll make it or not, and I don't really care what the math has to say about it. If the method you use to predict the last 10 games was accurate in predicting that 8-2-2 run, then let me know and I'll pay attention. This team is right there in the standings and they have 7 of their 10 remaining games on home ice and go ahead and ask Columbus and Vancouver and Calgary about the last few games at Rexall Place.
The point is, after a run of 30-30-29 place finishes, this year is a step out of the basement and a new experience for this young team. A few guys, like Ladislav Smid and Sam Gagner, can remember games a few years back that had playoff implications this time of year, but I count 11 players on the roster right now that have zero experience playing meaningful NHL games late in a season. The team is getting a taste of the pressure, a taste of the elevated intensity, and, perhaps most importantly, a taste of what it's like to lose games that mattered.
I wouldn't underestimate the change in culture happening here. For 3 years, losing has been the routine. The "rebuild" was declared and we all know by now what direction you have to head to accomplish some of those things. Along with "rebuild" comes a likelihood that the games late in the season probably won't matter for a little while. As such, losing those games, when you're a mile from the playoffs, was something they were probably numb to.
None of them is numb to losing any of these games. What we've seen here is that losing during a "rebuild" has transitioned to losing during a "playoff race". I don't know about you, but I'm pretty convinced that the excitement of being in a playoff chase combined with the anguish following any losses incurred is an equation and experience that is going to fuel winning here. I've never been through it as an NHL player, but I've got a pretty long roster full of notable former players (it can start and end with: Gretzky, Wayne) that have emphasized that the experience in pressure situations is a necessary key to success and cannot be manufactured or done without. Pressure is a great reality in pro sports, one that has an immeasurable impact on a game. One that boosts "big game" teams and players to the next level and one that seems daunting and foreign to groups that haven't seen it before. The familiarity with pressure will help breed winning, no doubt.
So, to heck with the math. The games matter, and that's a big step. Will they take the next step this year, or will the next evolution have to wait for next year? I don't know. But I'm anxious to watch because, unlike the last 3 years, it's April and we don't know how this ends.
Dan Tencer is the host of 630 CHED's Inside Sports which can be heard weeknights from 6 to 9 pm.

Or at least, these specially designed translucent plastic boxes that look like takeout containers, but still let sunshine in. Advertisement Created by Italian designers Francesca Bonfrate and Alessandra Bove, the Serravaso planters are part of Bubble Design's Green Kit, which lets you garden with limited real estate. With the lid closed the containers trap heat and humidity creating the perfect greenhouse-like environment for seeds to mature into plants. And once your crop gets big enough, you can open the lid giving them more room to grow, or transfer them to a larger container. The smallest version of the kit, which includes three containers, is priced at just under $40. But if you've got the room, the largest $70 set might even put a few vegetables on your table eventually. [Daily Review Shop via Design Milk]

There Is A New Beyonce Meme. And It Is Everything.
It was an early Christmas for the Internet today, thanks to Beyonce. A candid shot (the kind B tried to ban at her live performances following the "unflattering" Super Bowl images earlier this year) taken at a recent show (probably L.A. on December 3) has given Photoshop queens on Reddit, Imgur and elsewhere all they need to create a viral Beyonce meme.
Any favorite pic?
Kevin Dobbins in Birmingham is this fellow:
He's also this:
He's clearly a racist by his own comment above and I'd think twice about supporting his business.
I am NOT this person that you attached this link with. You might find yourself in a bit of legal trouble by this slander of his business.
Have fun, make fun. Laugh, whatever. Yes, she looks a mess in this pic. HOWEVER, nearly every gay blog magazine's comment thread I read has some ridiculously bigoted, racist insulting language in it and for a group who cries so much about intolerance and discrimination you know I have to say if you think that way, then I hope somebody punches you dead in the face for being stupid. Yes you, "jungle bunny" commentator, no matter what color you are. Ass.
Are you LGBT? I don't know why you would assume that anonymous people posting on the internet are gay, regardless of what site it is. The comment section is always a bunch of horrible people, that's just the internet. Just sayin.
But seriously why are you reading the comment sections of gay magazines? Is this a thing?
She looks like an old, tired jungle bunny. Typical!
lighten up, people. Its just a Beyonce. Everybody takes bad pictures, the day when you think youre above being made fun of because of them is the day you should shoot yourself. Peopel need to get over their celebrity worship. You dont know these people...they are not your friends...quit acting like someone insulted your mom. Its all fair game. And its fucking funny....
sorry for the typos
People act like they never take ugly pictures. Im sure she looks better then most even on her worst angle. obviously its people that make nasty comments about pictures like this who have celebs not wanting to have pictures like these up... get your priorities straight.
She can sing, but like her husband...at one point they were true people. Now they are more worried about being put in good light than having unflattering images. Trashy-once needs to get over it. Plus the pictures are hilarious...
As much as I love Beyoncé and her amazing voice, the image of her and "horse face" Sarah Jessica Parker is hilarious!
That woman's voice is horrible. Glad there are people who can find humor in her antics.
Oh you poor jealous little thing. Go into the corner now and be quiet now.
I can understand someone saying "I'm just not a fan of Beyonce" but saying she has a horrible voice is just not true, it's not constructive, and just plain ol' hatin'.
It's a funny photo but hasn't been memed right until it's put next to Tina Turner doing Proud Mary.

Why new pope's elevation is a surprise
Pope Francis I, formerly Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, is the first South American to lead the Catholic Church. Catholics in the Vatican, Argentina and around the world celebrated his selection.

Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio's election as pope has broken Europe's centuries-old grip on the papacy, opening the doors on a new age of simplicity and humility for the Roman Catholic Church, mired in intrigue and scandal.
He is the first South American pontiff, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years and the first to take the name Pope Francis, in honour of St. Francis of Assisi, the 12th century saint who spurned wealth to pursue a life of poverty.
His elevation on the second day of a closed-door conclave of cardinals came as a surprise, with many Vatican watchers expecting a longer deliberation, and none predicting the conservative 76-year-old Bergoglio would get the nod.
He looked as startled as everyone, hesitating a moment on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica before stepping out to greet the huge crowds gathered in the square below to catch a glimpse of the new pontiff.
"I ask a favour of you ... pray for me," he urged the cheering crowds, telling them the 114 other cardinal-electors "went almost to the end of the world" to find a new leader.
He also offered a prayer to his predecessor, Pope Benedict, who resigned unexpectedly last month, after saying he was too frail to tackle the many problems assailing the world's largest organisation, which has an estimated 1.2 billion members.
"Good night and have a good rest," Bergoglio said before disappearing back into the opulent surroundings of the Vatican City - a far cry from his simple apartment in Buenos Aires.
Delighted priests, nuns and pilgrims danced around the obelisk in the middle of St. Peter's Square, chanting: "Long Live the Pope" and "Argentina, Argentina".
In his native Argentina, jubilant Catholics poured into their local churches to celebrate.
"I hope he changes all the luxury that exists in the Vatican, that he steers the Church in a more humble direction, something closer to the gospel," said Jorge Andres Lobato, a 73-year-old retired state prosecutor.
Change of direction
The 266th pontiff in the Church's 2,000-year history, Francis is taking the helm at a time of great crisis, with morale among the faithful hit by a widespread child sex abuse scandal and infighting in the Vatican bureaucracy.
His unexpected election answered some fundamental questions about the direction of the Church in the coming years.
After more than a millennium of European leadership, the cardinal-electors looked to Latin America, where 42 percent of the world's Catholics live. The continent is more focused on poverty and the rise of evangelical churches than questions of materialism and sexual abuse, which dominate in the West.
They also chose a man with long pastoral experience, rather than an academic and Vatican insider like Benedict.
"It seems that this pope will be more aware of what life is all about," Italian theologian Massimo Faggioli told Reuters.
Bergoglio was born into a family of seven, his father an Italian immigrant railway worker and his mother a housewife. He became a priest at 32, nearly a decade after losing a lung due to respiratory illness and quitting his chemistry studies.
Despite his late start, he was leading the local Jesuit community within four years. Bergoglio has a reputation as someone willing to challenge powerful interests and has had a sometimes difficult relationship with Argentine President Cristina Fernandez and her late husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner.
Displaying his conservative orthodoxy, he has spoken out strongly against gay marriage, denouncing it in 2010 as "an attempt to destroy God's plan," and is expected to pursue the uncompromising moral teachings of Benedict and John Paul II.
Not everyone liked the look of his profile.
"I think they missed an opportunity to renew themselves. They've picked another old guy," said Daniel Villalpando, a 32-year-old web designer in Mexico City. "Sure, he's a Latino, but they got the most European of the Latinos."
Bergoglio is the first Jesuit to become pope. The order was founded in the 16th century to serve the papacy and is best known for its work in education and for the intellectual prowess of its members.
"I did not expect to see him in white tonight. I think it was a surprise, but it shows the courage of the cardinals to decide to cross the ocean and therefore to broaden perspectives," said Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi.
The Vatican said his inaugural Mass would be held on Tuesday. U.S. President Barack Obama said the election of Francis "speaks to the strength and vitality of a region that is increasingly shaping our world."
Age concerns
In preparatory meetings before the conclave, the cardinals seemed divided between those who believed the new pontiff must be a strong manager to get the dysfunctional bureaucracy under control and others who were looking more for a proven pastoral figure to revitalise their faith across the globe.
Bergoglio was a rival candidate at the 2005 conclave to Benedict, but his name had not appeared on lists of possible contenders this time around, with many discounting him because of his age, thinking prelates wanted a younger leader.
The secret conclave began on Tuesday night with a first inconclusive ballot. Three more inconclusive ballots were held on Wednesday before Francis obtained the required two-thirds majority of 77 votes in the fifth and final vote.
Billowing white smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel and the bells of St. Peter's Basilica rang out to announce the news, drawing Romans and tourists to the Vatican.
"May God forgive you," Bergoglio said to the cardinals at a subsequent dinner, raising loud laughter, according to New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
He is due to make a private visit to a Rome basilica on Thursday and then meet Benedict, who is secluded in the papal summer residence outside Rome. Francis will celebrate a Mass with cardinals in the late afternoon.

I went to Critter And Guitari's ONOMONO Party at the Cristin Tierney Gallery in Chelsea (that's in Manhattan for those who don't know NYC) this weekend and I'm definitely feeling their Pocket Pianos right now, especially as a last minute holiday gift.. Basically, the Pocket Piano allows you to make sweet electonic music and can be hooked up to your computer or other musical equipment. It's a small device full of artistic tone and reverb power, and the performances at the ONOMONO Party, which all used the Pocket Piano, really impressed me… I do love some electronic music!
It was cool to see successful artists, like two members of Au Revoir Simone, perform with the Pocket Pianos, and the party was a collection of cool. There were also PPs on all the walls so the guests could mess around with them when performances weren't taking place. It was all very artsy and very well done. I had a blast and it was cool to see all of the other performances as well. This is why I love NYC!
If you're struggling to find that original gift right now, and you know someone who loves music, the Pocket Piano is a definite winner. Whether you go original, Green, or MIDI, you'll be happy. And the Kaleidoloop is also pretty awesome. It has a small microphone and will take sounds and distort them for looped playback. It's another super cool music device! If interested, you can find all these products in Critter and Guitari's Online Store.

The Central Business District (CBD) is a neighborhood of the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.
A subdistrict of the French Quarter/CBD area, its boundaries, as defined by the City Planning Commission, are Iberville, Decatur and Canal Streets to the north; the Mississippi River to the east; the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, Julia and Magazine Streets, and the Pontchartrain Expressway to the south; and South Claiborne Avenue, Cleveland Street, and South and North Derbigny Streets to the west. It is the equivalent of what many cities call their downtown, although in New Orleans "downtown" or "down town" was historically used to mean all portions of the city downriver from Canal Street (in the direction of flow of the Mississippi River). In recent decades, however, use of the catch-all "downtown" adjective to describe neighborhoods downriver from Canal Street has largely ceased, having been replaced in usage by individual neighborhood names (such as Bywater).[citation needed]
Originally developed as the largely-residential Faubourg Ste. Marie (English: St. Mary Suburb) in the late 18th century, the modern Central Business District is today a dynamic, mixed-use neighborhood, the home of professional offices in skyscrapers, specialty and neighborhood retail stores, numerous restaurants and clubs, and thousands of residents inhabiting restored, historic commercial and industrial buildings.
The Central Business District is located at 29°56′59″N 90°04′14″W / 29.94972°N 90.07056°W [1] and has an elevation of 3 feet (0.9 m).[2] As is true of most of metropolitan New Orleans, the parts of the district nearer the river are higher in elevation than areas further removed from it. According to the United States Census Bureau, the district has a total area of 1.18 square miles (3.1 km2). 1.06 square miles (2.7 km2) of which is land and 0.12 square miles (0.3 km2) (10.17%) of which is water.
Adjacent neighborhoods[edit]
- Iberville Development (north)
- French Quarter (north)
- Lower Garden District (south)
- Central City (south)
- Tulane/Gravier (west)
The City Planning Commission defines the boundaries of the Central Business District as these streets: Iberville Street, Decatur Street, Canal Street, the Mississippi River, the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, Julia Street, Magazine Street, the Pontchartrain Expressway, South Claiborne Avenue, Cleveland Avenue, South Derbigny Street and North Derbigny Street.[3]
As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 3,435 inhabitants of the census tracts best corresponding to the boundaries of the New Orleans Downtown Development District. The population density was 1,692 /mi² (664 /km²). Another 4,142 inhabitants of the adjacent French Quarter neighborhood were recorded in the 2000 Census. The CBD, its subdistricts (e.g., the Warehouse District), and the bordering neighborhoods of Tremé, the French Quarter, and the Lower Garden District possessed 21,630 residents, according to the 2000 Census.

Streets in the Central Business District (originally "Faubourg Ste. Marie") were initially platted in the late 18th century, representing the first expansion of New Orleans beyond its original French Quarter footprint. Significant investment began in earnest following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, as people from other parts of the United States flocked to the city. Consequently, the district began to be referred to as the American Sector.
While traditionally Canal Street was viewed as the dividing line between the French Quarter and the American Sector, legally both sides of Canal Street are today considered part of the Central Business District for zoning and regulatory purposes.
Through the 19th and into the 20th century, the Central Business District continued developing almost without pause. By the mid-20th century, most professional offices in the region were located downtown, the hub of a well-developed public transit system conveying tens of thousands of workers to and from the area daily. Canal Street had evolved into the primary retail destination for New Orleanians, as well as for residents of the surrounding region. Local department stores Maison Blanche, D.H. Holmes, Godchaux's, Gus Mayer, Labiche's, Kreeger's, and Krauss anchored numerous well-known specialty retailers, such as Rubenstein Bros., Adler's Jewelry, Koslow's, Rapp's, and Werlein's Music. National retailers, like Kress, Woolworth, and Walgreens were present alongside local drugstore K&B. Sears operated a large store one block off Canal, on Baronne Street. Bookstores, theaters, and movie palaces also abounded, with the neon marquees of the Saenger, Loews State, RKO Orpheum, Joy and Civic theaters nightly casting multi-colored lights onto surrounding sidewalks. In the 1950s, six-lane Loyola Avenue was constructed as an extension of Elk Place, cutting a swath through a low-income residential district and initially hosting the city's new civic center complex. The late-1960s widening of Poydras Street was undertaken to create another six-lane central area circulator for vehicular traffic, as well as to accommodate modern high-rise construction.
The portion of the CBD closer to the Mississippi River and upriver from Poydras Street is known as the Warehouse District, because it was heavily devoted to warehousing and manufacturing before shipping became containerized. The 1984 World's Fair drew attention to the then semi-derelict district, resulting in steady investment and redevelopment from the mid-1980s onward. Many of the old 19th-century warehouses have been converted into hotels, restaurants, condominiums, and art galleries.
Notable structures in the CBD include the Greek Revival Gallier Hall (the city's former city hall); the Mercedes-Benz Superdome; the New Orleans Arena; the city's present-day, International style city hall; and One Shell Square, the city's tallest building and headquarters for Royal Dutch Shell's Gulf of Mexico Exploration and Production. Other significant attractions include the postmodern Piazza d'Italia, Harrah's Casino, the World Trade Center New Orleans, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, St. Patrick's Church, the Hibernia Bank Building, and the former New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
The principal public park in the CBD is Lafayette Square, upon which face both Gallier Hall and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Other public spaces include Duncan Plaza, Elk Place, the Piazza d'Italia, Lee Circle, Mississippi River Heritage Park, Spanish Plaza, and the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza.
Museums include the National World War II Museum, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Louisiana Children's Museum, the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center and Confederate Memorial Hall.
New Orleans CBD was one of the few areas of New Orleans that escaped the catastrophic flooding of 2005's Hurricane Katrina.[citation needed]
Government and infrastructure[edit]
The New Orleans City Hall and surrounding structures, including the circa-1960, architecturally award-winning Main Branch of the New Orleans Public Library face Duncan Plaza, an exercise in 1950s-style urban renewal embodying then-mayor Chep Morrison's desire to create a modern civic center. The New Orleans Civic Center is today much diminished, with the Louisiana Supreme Court building having been torn down in the wake of the court's departure for the French Quarter, the Louisiana State office building having suffered the same fate, and Duncan Plaza itself having been fenced off.
The United States Postal Service operates the New Orleans Main Post Office at 701 Loyola Avenue in the CBD.[5]
The Union Passenger Terminal is the terminus for three of Amtrak's long-distance trains, the City of New Orleans, the Crescent and, since 2005, the Sunset Limited (with the elimination, due to Katrina damage, of the eastbound portion of the Sunset Limited route), and also offers inter-city bus service via Greyhound Lines.
Interstate Highway access is provided by I-10, via the Claiborne and Pontchartrain Expressways. When I-10 curves to the east by the Louisiana Superdome and becomes the Claiborne Expressway, elevated above N. Claiborne Avenue, the Pontchartrain Expressway continues as U.S. Route 90 Business and crosses the Mississippi River on the twin-bridge Crescent City Connection.
Significant thoroughfares in the CBD include St. Charles Avenue, Camp Street, Carondelet Street, Gravier Street, Poydras Street, Tchoupitoulas Street, Howard Avenue, and Canal Street. Prior to the 1980s, the intersection of Gravier and Carondelet streets was the de facto heart of the city's financial district. Though still a vibrant area, that part of the CBD witnessed the migration of much business slightly upriver to Poydras Street, as many modern high-rise office towers were constructed there in the 1970s and 1980s. The widening of Loyola Avenue, Poydras Street and O'Keefe Avenue aimed to simultaneously create an effective downtown circulator high capacity road network for automobile traffic and make room for large-scale redevelopment (e.g., Duncan Plaza, Superdome). However, many of the development sites created in the wake of these improvements were never built upon, leaving a noticeable and unfortunate quantity of surface parking lots along these widened streets.
Entergy, the region's sole Fortune 500 firm, maintains its headquarters in the CBD, as does Reily Foods Company, which markets Luzianne products and Standard Coffee.[6][7] Other local companies headquartered downtown include McMoRan Exploration, Pan American Life Insurance, Superior Energy Services, TurboSquid, iSeatz, Historic Restoration Inc. (HRI Properties), Whitney National Bank, Tidewater Marine, Energy Partners Ltd., Intermarine, IMTT, International Coffee Corp., and The Receivables Exchange.
The CBD also hosts the New Orleans I.P., an "Intellectual Property", home to numerous creative industries firms, and numerous bioscience companies are established at the New Orleans BioInnovation Center, located within BioDistrict New Orleans.
The regional economic alliance Greater New Orleans, Inc. (GNO Inc.), the New Orleans metropolitan area's lead economic development entity for the ten-parish New Orleans region, is also headquartered downtown, as is the New Orleans Business Alliance (NOLA BA), the public-private partnership agency leading economic development efforts for the city proper.
The World Trade Center of New Orleans (WTCNO) has been located in the CBD since its establishment in 1943. The WTCNO facilitates the addition of wealth and jobs in Louisiana through international trade, economic development, and allied activities by supporting a prosperous international business climate in Louisiana.
Diplomatic missions[edit]
The Consulate of Mexico in New Orleans is located in the CBD.[8] The consulate re-opened in that location in 2008 because of the dramatic increase in the local Mexican immigrant population, many of whom arrived in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to assist in the city's rebuilding.[9]
In addition to Mexico, France maintains a consulate in downtown New Orleans, a reflection of the long-standing ties between that nation and Louisiana, and of France's role as the founder of New Orleans in 1718.
At one time the Consulate-General of Japan in New Orleans was located in the Entergy Tower.[10] In 2006 Japan announced that it was moving the consulate to Nashville, Tennessee.[11] The Japanese Government relocated the mission to be close to industries and operations owned by Japanese companies.[12]
Honorary consuls for numerous other nations may also be found within the CBD.
