Some people seriously need to stop sipping on hatred.
Jenny J.J.I. | That Lives in Carolinas | 05/24/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The story might be predictable...but the stomping is amazing. The big standout in the film is of course Columbus Short as a lead actor. Though he has many dancing and television credits on his resume, this film marks his first turn in a lead film role--and it is the perfect opportunity. Short is an above-average talent who possesses the kind of charm and screen presence that could make him a leading man for his generation. He plays the part of D.J., a teen-age dancer who battles competitively in Los Angeles until tragedy strikes. Eventually, he is sent by his mother to live in Atlanta with his uncle and aunt, who have helped him enroll in the historically Black Truth University. While D.J. takes classes and works at Truth, he is drawn to the culture of stepping at Black fraternities. He soon finds a way to mesh his talents with his new environment, while also pursuing a new love interest, April (Meagan Goode). Against the odds, D.J.--young, talented and arrogant-- is drawn into the competition of his life.
After watching this you will come to fine out that some musicians such as Ne-Yo and Chris Brown can be actors too. They both provided some comical relief and some pretty good acting I thought that "Stomp the Yard" was a good movie. Very entertaining, and the dancing was remarkable, but it had a deep inner message to go with it... for young and old alike! There is so much talent in our young African Americans but at times directed in the wrong direction. What was also likable and quite inspiring, is a scene in which the main character visits an honorary hall, filled with various pictures of national African-American figures affiliated with many well-known fraternities. Some of the people shown? Esther Rolle, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, and Martin Luther King, to name a few. This scene really gave me a sense of pride when I saw it, and a respect for the leaders of the past.
Though the electric dance routines give this movie its vibrant energy. It may not be representative of what happens on Black campuses or inside Black fraternities but it offers nuance about the campus stepping culture--new school versus old school, traditional versus styles influenced by hip hop and break dancing. I appreciate "Stomp the Yard" for trying to show a well-known culture in a respected community, but it might not go as deep as you might expect it to be other than that it's a good movie.
Dance 5, Story 3
Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 05/20/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"STOMP THE YARD comes as a pleasant surprise to those of us who have yet to be introduced to 'stepping' - a sport/dance form that is not break dancing, not hip-hop, not modern dance, not clogging, not ballet, but instead is an exhilarating display of rhythm, physical dexterity, and creative choreography that makes this little film well worth watching.
The story is minimal and hackneyed and serves basically as an outline for the dance performances. DJ (the enormously talented dancer/actor Columbus Short) is sent from Los Angeles to Atlanta's Truth University after his conviction for street brawling, a fight in which his brother (Chris Brown) was killed. Once on campus DJ is works for his uncle as a gardener and is soon courted for his step dance skills by two rival fraternities. One fraternity gains DJ's attention and he pledges. Of course there is the requisite love conflict (the beautiful Meagan Good as April), who just happens to be the girlfriend of the rival fraternity step leader (Darrin Henson), and the usual undercurrent of familial dichotomies between DJ's humble background and April's influential father bring the tension to the front: the result is DJ's triumphant performance in the annual stepping competition between the two fraternities. The ending is predictable but sensitive and with a message.
The real star of the film is the magnificently choreographed and executed dancing, performed by the actual cast members. Director Sylvain White and his choreographers center their attention on the big sequences and the result is very fine entertainment. In addition to the gifted Columbus Short and Darrin Henson the cast includes such fine actor/dancers as Brian J. White, Ne-Yo, Laz Alonzo, Oliver Ryan Best, Richmond Duain Martyn, Justin Hires, and many others. It is difficult to resist the excitement of the commitment of this fine cast to the introduction of step dancing to the public at large. So much talent! Grady Harp, May 07"
This Movie Reminds Me Of Something
Keith A. Jones | Philadelphia PA | 05/21/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It's a terrible experience when someone close to you passes and it's even rougher when it's your baby brother. After dancing in a battle and winning a hat full of money Dj "Columbus Short", his brother "Chris Brown" and his team beat the wrong team this time. While walking home in a dark alley the other team jumped them to get their money back but bad turns to worst and DJ's brother is shot and killed. DJ is sent to live with his Uncle and aunt in Atlanta and is expected to go to college. When he arrives on campus he sees some things he's never seen before like fraternities and stepping and it's all downhill from there. During this film DJ learns things that boys need to learn to become men especially love and even gets to do what he loves most while he's there. He ends up becoming a major key to one frat in dieing need of something fresh.
The first time I saw the preview for "Stomp the Yard" I automatically thought, "Wow, the stepping version of Drumline" but at the same time I felt it would be pretty good. Though this movie does resemble Drumline the story differs a bit. The first being "Darrin Henson" (Soul Food the series) who is a good actor but a dancer and choreographer first and I would say a better choreographer than actor since he probably makes more money off of it. Of course the others being "Chris Brown" and "Columbus Short", most of the cast are dancers acting unlike "Drumline" where Nick Cannon was an actor who had to learn how to play the drums. Even the two frats remind you of "Drumline" one frat has an old school style and hasn't won in 7 years and the other has a grimey aggressive new shchool that never loses.
Darrin played his character well and though Chris Brown wasn't in there that long he did ok but Columbus Short danced better than he acted and it took a little from the movie. He didn't show the same feeling and emotion in his acting as he did in his dancing. You can see this in the film when he loosens up when he dances and then starts to get really tight when he goes back to acting. There was only one big problem I had with "Stomp the Yard", the first being how the story is told. In the middle of the movie when DJ is pledging to get into a fraternity his pledging is basically skipped and he's in.
The stepping and overall choreography is amazing and gets better towards the end of the film. The acting was cool as well as the story but still the dancing outshines them. The history told in this movie makes me proud and gives the movie that extra something. It would've been really cool though if they shined a little more light on where stepping came from and why it's so important in black colleges today. Overall this is a very good movie that was made very well but I have to say that I think women will enjoy this more than guys, when you see it you'll know what I mean."
It's urban entertainment
D. Anderson | Dallas, TX | 08/18/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you don't like urban movies,urban hip hop slang or hip hop dancing then don't watch or try to rate this movie because you won't understand the essence of it. This movie is for the true hip hopper's and urban movie fans who like sick(hip hop slang for incredible)dance moves. No this movie isn't golden globes or oscar material nor do I think it was meant to be. It's shear entertainment with talented actors and gifted dancers. There is no way you can watch this movie and not see the skill it takes to pull off some of these dance moves. My only regret is that the director makes the mistake of not showing the dance moves in real time. If he had shown the moves the way they really went down it would shut some of these haters up. These dancers worked too hard to have there talent be minimized by some none dancin' haters. The movie could have come off real corny but these actors have such skill that there acting made the movie worthwhile. Great job on the casting!"

I have made a bit more progress with the video based epileptic seizure detector.
Someone on the OpenCV Google Plus page suggested that I look at the Lucas-Kanade feature tracking algorithm, rather than trying to analyse all of the pixels at once like I was doing.
This looks quite promising. First you have to decide which features in the image to use – corners are good for tracking. OpenCV has a neat cv.GoodFeaturesToTrack function which makes suggestions – you give it a couple of parameters, including a 'quality' parameter to help it choose. This gives a list of (x,y) coordinates of the good features to track. Note that this means 'good' mathematically, not necessarily the limbs of the test subject….
Once you have some features to track, OpenCV again provides a cv.CalcOpticalFlowPyrLK, where you give it the list of features, the previous image and a new image, and it calculates the locations of the features in the new image.
I have then gone into the fourier analysis that I have been trying for the other types of seizure detection. This time I calculate the speed of each feature over a couple of seconds, and record this as a time series, then calculate the fourier transform to give the frequency spectrum of the motion. If there is oscillation above a threshold amplitude in a given frequency band for a specified time we raise an alarm as a possible seizure.
The code is functioning, but is a fair way off being operational yet. The code for this is in my OpenSeizureDetector github repository (https://github.com/jones139/OpenSeizureDetector).
The current issues are:
- I really want to track motion of limbs, but there is no guarantee that cv.GoodFeaturesToTrack will detect these as good features – I can make this more likely by attaching reflective tape, which glows under IR illumination from the night vision camera…if I can persuade Benjamin to wear it.
- There is something wrong with the frequency calculation still – I can understand a factor of two, but it seems a bit more than that.
- If the motion is too quick, it looses the point, so I have to set it to re-initialise using GoodFeaturesToTrack periodically.
- An Example of it working with my daughter doing Benjamin-like behaviour is shown below. Red circles are drawn around points if a possible seizure is detected.
- This does not look too good – lots of points detected, and even the reflective strips on the wrists and ankles get lost. It seems to work better in darkness though, where I get something like the second video, where there are only a few points, and most of those are on my high-vis reflective strips.
- It does give some nice debugging graphs of the speed measurements and the frequency spectra though.

Proudly Irish American, New York City Council speaker, Christine Quinn has been named as one of the grand marshals of the Brooklyn West Indian Day Parade.
Speaking to WCBS 880's Rich Lamb she explained that she will be marshall "along with two other significant individuals. One of them is Harry Belafonte. So, I'm very excited about it."
"It's always a fun day. It's always a great parade, but it feels like a huge honor.
"But it's really an honor for the whole Council because I think it speaks to the work the Council has done to try to support the Caribbean-American community, the West Indian Community, and the work we've done in Brooklyn and that's something I'm very proud of.
"So, I'm very grateful."
Sadly for years Christine Quinn has demonstrated her contempt for the discrimination of the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, in New York, who do not allow the gay community to be represented in their celebrations.
Quinn, who married her long term partner, Kim Catullo, earlier this year instead opts to march in the Queen's St Patrick's Day Parade instead. She even marched in the Dublin parade in 2007.
The Brooklyn West Indian Day Parade is known for its lively atmosphere complete with floats and dancers. The parade takes place on 1st September.

ATEME enables open source implementation supporting HEVC
ATEME has announced its open source implementation of a software media player supporting High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is now available.
The implementation will allow service providers and broadcasters to accelerate their experimentation with the new HEVC Codec standard in the field.
GPAC is an open source media player that can be used to play back live or file-based audio and video content. It also enables encapsulation and transmission content for streaming. Those functionalities are now extended to files or streams encoded with HEVC, the latest video compression format standardized by ITU as H.265.
GPAC has been validated with a 1080p HD content delivery chain.
Work is now ongoing to extend the use cases to UltraHD.

The films, synchronized with sound recording, were traced and measured for 10 normal hearing and 4 hearing-impaired women with deviant resonance. Vocal tract conformations and dimensions were defined by measures of the lips, tongue, mandible, velum, hyoid bone, epiglottis, and laryngeal sinus. Means, standard deviations, and analyses of variance were applied to facilitate descriptions and comparisons between the groups.The hearing-impaired speakers had near normal lip openings for/i/and/u/but more open positions for//. The tongue tended to retract for the front vowel and front for the back vowel/u/. For high vowels, most of the hearing-impaired speakers had an elevated hyoid, an unusually large vertical dimension between hyoid and laryngeal sinus, and a retracted tongue root, which was associated with a marked retraction or deflection of the epiglottis toward the pharyngeal wall.The cine analysis of the normal hearing speakers showed rather well defined and consistent shifts in tongue position for the front vowels produced in the sentence context. The hearing-impaired speakers with deviant resonance showed greater variation among speakers in tongue body position and a significant retrusion of the dorsum of the tongue at a site significantly lower than observed in hearing speakers. The consistent tongue root retraction during static as well as dynamic speech production is interpreted as support for Boone's hypothesized cause of pharyngeal resonance in speech of the hearing impaired.

The Manchester United winger saw first-hand how dangerous the Italians can be when they dumped his team out in the semi-finals.
"This final is a hard one to call because I can see Liverpool being hard to beat," Giggs told the Daily Star Sunday. "Milan still can´t believe they lost that final (two years ago in Istanbul) on penalties after being three up at half-time. But they are a team determined to make up for what happened and that will make them tough to beat, too."

Review for Elephant Sanctuary, Hohenwald, TN, USA
Since Carol Buckley was ousted in an ugly coup, the Sanctuary has tenuously maintained a facade of its old self but, in reality, it has been eviscerated. It's run by a board that knows and cares about money, not elephants. There is no one -- no one -- on staff with anything remotely approaching Carol's knowledge of, experience with and deep affinity for elephants.
As to Marcella Smith's comments about Carol: A few years ago Marcella wanted to build a house on property she bought bordering the Sanctuary. To enter her property from the front to build the house would have required her to build a bridge across a stream, which she could not afford. Instead, Marcella wanted construction crews to be able to drive THROUGH part of the Sanctuary habitat to reach her property. Carol refused, given the disruption it would have caused to the elephants and their daily lives. Ms. Smith is obviously still angry.
There are many people who idolized Carol Buckley but, since the coup, have demonized her. Their comments should be taken with a large grain of salt. And those who hold to their belief that nothing has changed at the Sanctuary show their lack of knowledge of the therapeutic process Carol developed there.
I would advise potential donors to stay away from the Sanctuary until Carol Buckley returns.

L'Anomie! Le Cynicisme!
In the wee dawn hours of the morning the Editorial Staff sprang from betwixt the marital sheets to the detestable chirping of the alarum on her bedside table. The assemblage of the spousal sandwich complete, we grabbed a cup of liquid courage and shuffled sleepily down the hall to see what horrors awaited us in the daily fishwrap.
Imagine our shock when, expecting grim remonstrances from the intrepid souls who risk life and limb to remind us America is sadly bereft of the comforting approval of such moral avatars as France, Germany, and Syria or clear-eyed assessments of our steady decline into levels of economic misery not seen since the 1920's, instead we suddenly spied something strange, something utterly alien upon the digital pages before our astonished eyeballs... Something... dare we say it?
Unprecedented. A ray of hope! How the helk did that get there?
Popular culture would have us believe that anyone under 30 is a cynical brat or a self-absorbed sluggard, intent on hedonistic impulses alone.
But that's a myth, at least according to J. Walter Thompson, the nation's largest advertising agency.
Thompson has plumbed the consciousness of the so-called "millennials" — those between 21 and 29 — to reveal a generation brimming with adultlike respect for American institutions, family values and work ethics, despite a few quirks.
Among the findings: 94 percent said they respect monogamy and parenthood, while 84 percent revere marriage. Eighty-eight percent respect the U.S. Constitution, 84 percent respect the military and more than three-fourths believed in the proverbial "American dream." Fewer than one in four, however, said they have any admiration for Hollywood.
"We were completely surprised. There has been a faulty portrayal of millennials by the media — television, films, news, blogs, everything. These people are not the self-entitled, coddled slackers they're made out to be. Misnomers and myths about them are all over the place," said Ann Mack, who directed the survey and is the official "director of trend-spotting" at the agency.
"Their opinions of monogamy and marriage are products of the era they grew up in, a reaction against a reality-TV world or their unstable childhoods. They are more traditional in their views because they want something better for their own families," Ms. Mack said.
The research revealed few millennials are "boomerang kids" who sponge off parents after leaving college.
"Just 15 percent lived with their parents, 25 percent lived with their spouse and child(ren), 19 percent with a partner, 18 percent with their spouse, 15 percent alone and 8 percent with a roommate," the study said.
The group is not sitting home watching soap operas, either. The survey found that more than three-quarters were employed full time, with an additional 19 percent employed part time. Two-thirds agreed that a "formal appearance" at work is important, with an equal number agreeing that employees owe their company loyalty.
The Editorial Staff is so confused. Is the world going to hell in a handbasket, or not?
Is the so-called "American Dream" as hard to find as coherence in a Paul Krugman column? Or is it still within reach (as our children seem to think)? Why, oh why are they not properly dejected and dispirited? DON'T THEY READ THE NEW YORK TIMES?
Clearly, our education system has failed them.
If only someone - perhaps a real, bona fide war hero - could lead us out of these murky waters, lend some moral clarity to the debate on values in this country.

The study parallels my experience. This age group is tired of the whining adults who epitomize the 60's generation of tune in, turn on, and drop out.
They are a pleasure to be around and have intelligent conversation with.
There is hope!

It actually started with the GenX and GenY groups. Most of them are far more conservative than your average boomer. They despise hippies and the narcissistic "me" generation.
They correctly saw the societal and familial damage caused by their self-absorbed, spoiled elders. Children who grew up dealing with rampant divorce, absentee parents who were busy "doing their own thang", drug abuse, and role models like Bill Clinton. What happens to children who are raised by nothing but overgrown children? Somebody ultimately has to be the responsible one, and too often these were the children who had to grow up too fast. Do you think such a generation has any tolerance or inclination to follow the immaturity of their elders? They despise them instead for their weakness and selfishness.
This line of thought was brought home to me yesterday when I had to do some shopping at the mall. I saw a gaggle of women in their late 50's trying to look like 20-year olds going to a nightclub, and dressed very inappropriately for their ages. I was disgusted by their manner and dress. These women were stuck at a high-school level of maturity, despite their physical age.
My disgust changed to laughter when I saw a group of young teeny-bopper girls, with equal looks of disgust on their faces, yell at the older ones to "grow up". I nearly lost it at the shocked look on the older women's faces.
Boomers love to praise themselves for being the "deepest", most thoughtful, and altruistic generation ever to exist. The generations that follow dismiss them, and their destructive views, as narcissistic self-absorption. They will have to rebuild the society, families, and morality once the spoiled brats are done having their neverending house party.

I've spent the last month sharing with our local PTAs a new presentation that I've named, "The New Reality of College Admissions."
As attendees enter the room, I feel the tension rise. It's obvious they feel overwhelmed and anxious about navigating the path to college admissions with their teen.
I walk to the podium, pick up the microphone, smile at the audience and encourage everyone to take a deep breath. We inhale and exhale together as laughter embraces the room.

- Shot blocks; they get weirdly firm like when you're a kid and you tried eating something that looked and felt like candy but was actually plastic.
- Protein bar; when cold, the original power bars were notorious for teeth pulling awfulness but even today's fancy soy protein treats pose as great a risk to your pearly whites as the adz on your ice tool.
- Muffin leftover from breakfast; it seems really confused by what is happening and as a result, it loses interest in being delicious.
- Beer; you put that sixer in the car so you'd have some victory juice when you're done. You haul out of the woods, open the trunk and...there's frozen beer, shards of glass and unhinged disappointment all over your "dry" clothes and street shoes. Fail on so many levels.
- Bananas; George Bluth Sr. tells us that there's a lot of money in frozen banana stands but have you ever actually seen a frozen banana? The peel turns a very unappetizing shade of brown and the consistency is all wrong. Unless you're blending it for a smoothie or daquiri, "tropical" fruits should be kept in their natural habitats.

So I try the last configuration that worked... does the same thing. Then I try safe mode... does the same thing again (only no XP loading screen in safe mode). Then i try to load from my other install of XP (it's a very clean install that I use for audio recording)... it stalls indefinitely at a black screen after the loading screen and Windows still never starts up. (The second install of XP is on a partition of the same drive as the first.)
So... where do I go from here? I can't even get XP to load up, so... I don't have any idea how to go about fixing this.
Any suggestions?

Charlene Klyne will bear the physical scars of the deadly mass shooting in La Loche for the rest of her life.
Klyne was one of seven people injured Jan. 22 when a shooter entered the high school in the northern Sask. community, located about a six-hour drive north of Saskatoon.
A boy, 17 years old at the time, is accused of fatally shooting two brothers at a home before heading to the school and opening fire, killing two teachers.
Klyne, a former supply and probationary teacher, spoke out publically Wednesday for the first since the tragedy. She said surviving victims simply aren't getting enough help.
"We need assistance. We need not to have to beg," she said.
Klyne can't see out of her left eye and can only make out shadows with her right.
"Everything is black and white," she said. "I have not seen my family for many days, many months."
When Klyne's injuries caused her to lose a tooth, doctors pulled the root out and found pellets in her jaw.
"I have pellets along my face, in my arms, in my chest in numerous spots. I have pellets in the lining of my heart that they won't remove," she said.
"They said it's more dangerous to remove them."
In the months following the shooting, Klyne said victims continue to suffer not just physically, but mentally and financially.
The former teacher covers her own costs for living in Saskatoon while receiving treatment. It's a move Klyne said she never would've made otherwise.
"It's just not a place we planned on living, but now—because of medical reasons—we're here," she said, calling out the government, the Northern Lights School Division and compensation groups to step up.
Right now, Klyne takes home $360 every two weeks from the Workers Compensation Board.
"Which I understand is based on what I made, but I have no future income. It's not like I can go back to work tomorrow," she said.
Buckley Belanger, the deputy leader of the Sask. NDP, said since the deadly shooting was an unprecedented tragedy in the province, more resources should have been devoted to victims.
"Why isn't there a concentration of supports and continual focus on the families that are going through this?" he said.
"Now more than ever we need to have empathy and support mechanisms in place for them."
'We want to reach out'
On Wednesday, 650 CKOM spoke to Don Morgan, the minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board in Saskatchewan, regarding Klyne.
Morgan said the province employed one person designated as a "single point of contact" in the community to address resources.
"The people who are in the community, we were able to get them the supports that they needed," he said.
"Unfortunately this individual was not in La Loche. We did not know about her, so we want to reach out and try to help her."
The minister said he now understands Klyne has been in Saskatoon for treatment, but said he had not been contacted by her previously regarding the situation.
"What we will do is reach out and ask WCB to look at the file."
Additionally, Morgan said he would look at getting someone from either the ministry of education or health to meet with Klyne to discuss the supports needed.
"We did a lot of things for the people of La Loche and we don't want to have somebody fall off because they didn't happen to be in La Loche after the incident."

I agree, 4 days is nothing....
I admit, I did lose a lot. But meh... I can rebuild.
All I can say is under the circumstances eOs succeeded in saving as much as he could. If not, the rollback would have been 2 months (I think).
@imtheman - just chalk it up to a loss and rebuild.

When there are teeth whitening home remedies treatments no need to spend another day suffering from the harmful effects of chemicals. In this article we will talk about teeth whitening reviews, and learn to choose a quality product to give a smile, celebrity style, and make it happen in a hurry. Reviews of teeth whitening - What should I look for? Look for reviews of products that look real! Many of the blogs "review" that have emerged in the last year or so have been scrutinized by the Federal Government incredibly.
They often tell a story "about an average Joe or Jane the character, which is simply a made up person, and have no experience with the product they are" reviewing ". You want real comments? Read review sites for real! Look for honest evaluations of the bleaching process and find answers to the following questions:
Who is it that makes the product?
Is it approved by the ADA?
Does the company offer a warranty or any guarantuee?
Wich of the available teeth whitening home remedies are suitable for me?
In our opinion, the best products are gel and tray-based bleaching systems or if you don't believe in that you should take up teeth whitening home remedies treatment. They have a super long history of safety, are exactly the same processes used in its local office and can give you white teeth dramatically, often in a matter of quick moments. Are there any disadvantages in the gel and tray-based whitening products? Yes, for a small percentage of people, temporary tooth sensitivity can be a problem. Essentially, this means that after using the gel, you may feel a bit more sensitive to the super-hot or cold drinks for a day or two, and although not painful. Yes that can be annoying. That vanishes of course, and to mention it only occurs in a small percentage of people, but if you're one of those can be a drawback.
You do not have much confidence in your smile and could not express it in words to the people. If you are sick and tired of teeth turning yellow, you have come to the right place. Since first impressions are important, you should not lose your chance to get a new job or a nice date. By taking the necessary steps to teeth whitening home remedies and avoid light, you can change the way people look at you. Professional teeth whitening gel is one of the most popular item on the counter. Thousands of people are using this type of whitening kits which is a true professional result at a much lower cost. No longer is the time when celebrities can only get bright white teeth at the expense of breaking the bank. Easy to use and convenience are the advantages of these gels to whiten teeth and feathers. Simply apply the solution on your teeth and you can get results in just 15 minutes. The disadvantage is you have to keep using them and there are many scams on the internet talking about them.
Another way to whiten teeth is effective but very cheap is hydrogen peroxide. You can easily get the peroxide solution 3% in local pharmacies or drugstores which is the best teeth whitening home remedies among all the one known. The procedure is quite simple, just brush your teeth with hydrogen peroxide using regular toothbrush. Although a concentration of 3% hydrogen peroxide does not really affect the teeth so much and take at least two weeks to see results. Moreover, any solution that is more than 3% is considered dangerous for children or even adults.
The teeth whitening home remedies treatment faster than you can possibly get, of course, in the dentist clinic. There they usually use the technique of white light that can produce results very quickly. However, do not bother trying to go for this option because the cost would be about $ 200 to $ 2000 depends on where you go. You also have to return for regular contact and maintenance. So what is the best choice you can choose that can make a difference in your smile, but not in the pockets? I would go with the first option on the teeth whitening home remedies treatment that is more affordable and effective. For a 30-day supply, the price is usually around $ 40 to $ 60 depending on brands and qualities of chemicals you buy.
You know that one of your greatest assets is your smile. Your smile can get you your dream job or make someone fall for you. One smile is all you need to stand out from the crowd. To improve your smile, your teeth you want to be perfectly white. You cannot take the thought of the smile and teeth showing yellow to the person you like or your potential employer, it's only going to be disgusted astonished. The yellowing of teeth cannot be avoided, because with age, the enamel loses its natural white colour. The food you eat is also a reason for his yellow teeth. Fruits like raspberries and blueberries, coffee, soft drinks and cause a lot more teeth bleaching. Even cigarette blackened gums and cause teeth to be bleached white. Super White Teeth is a revolutionary product from a reputable company. This is one of the teeth whitening home remedies that can be used to retrieve the dazzling white teeth that were in the past.
Ten minutes on your twenty-four hours is all it takes to get good results from the best teeth whitening system. The product comes with a teeth whitening gel and tray to work to get rid of stubborn stains that have accumulated in the past. With these teeth whitening home remedies treatment, which will see visible results in its first use? The whitening system works by reducing the enamel surface, once applied to the teeth. Teeth that are stained light only require two sessions of ten minutes to be pearly white again, while the heavily tinted require only seven days. In just seven days, you will have to earn that smile with teeth whitening home remedies.

So we're building a house (see below pictures). With that said, we moved to another state my sophomore year of college started and wow it feels good to write again. I've also moved into my first ever apartment, which I got to decorate much to my excitement with tons of cute stuff, and lots of candles. There's been a lot of changes and for the most part, I won't lie and say it's been easy. I know I'm a college student and I don't even really go "home" often anymore, but I still feel like my parents are where home is. Except that home is a bunch of wood that kinda resembles a sort of house.
|Just starting!
|More progress!
My biggest help in dealing with changes is to lean on those around me. While moving has been difficult to say the least (plus you can never find anything anywhere), I've been able to feed on the excitement of everyone else has to see the finished product and become excited myself. And yes, I do miss parts about our old house but not all of it is gone. The neighbors I used to call family are coming up for thanksgiving, and the friends I hold so dearly text me everyday. So I lean on them, and it helps.
Changes sometimes suck, but they also are a part of life. You just have to make the best of it.
Except going from sunny Florida to the freezing cold midwest. I'm so done with that change and I want to go back.

Super Not So Super by Caleb Paullus is a photo collection of recognizable superheroes doing mundane, everyday tasks that take the glamor out of super powers. "A Look Into The Super Ordinary Lives of Superheroes" includes pictures of Batman paying bills, Wonder Woman doing the dishes, Super Girl cooking, The Flash discovering the downside of being super fast (in the sack), and Catwoman rolling a joint and playing with a ball of yarn.
Similar to the Fallen Princesses photoshoot (see related articles below), Caleb Paullus' Super Not So Super images tear apart fantasy by hurtling them into real-life modern day scenarios. Perhaps people gravitate toward this type of artwork because it lets them find comfort in knowing that no one is a superhero and no one really leads a fairytale life.

The analysts forecast global SOFC market to grow at a CAGR of 9.78% during the period 2016-2020.
An SOFC is a fuel cell that produces electricity through an electrochemical process. SOFCs offer low emissions, long-term stability, high efficiency, and fuel flexibility. The excellent fuel flexibility of the devices permit the use of safe, cheap, and readily available fuels such as hydrocarbons, natural gas, hydrogen, methanol, and syngas.

Golmaal Returns movie review
Golmaal was released in 2006 which was an excellent comedy by Rohit Shetty. This inspired Rohit Shetty and the producers to bring a sequel to that movie in Golmaal Returns. But bringing a sequel has always resulted in comparisions to the original movie Golmaal. Golmaal Returns fails to match the expectations of the original Golmaal.
The biggest negative of Golmaal Returns is the insane script which is filled up with zero-brain and bizzare mindless comedy. Gopal (Ajay Devgan) is married to Ekta (Kareena Kapoor) who keeps suspecting her husband inspired by the K-serials. Gopal is stuck on a yacht with sister Esha (Amrita Arora), brother-in-law Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor) after he saves an attractive girl Meera (Celina Jaitley) from some goons. Both of them spend the night in the yacht and when he returns home the next day Ekta feels there is something fishy going on. Then the storyline goes ahead pathetically as the audience gets irritated with the mindless comedy.
The best positive of the movie is Tusshar Kapoor who has again acted brilliantly with great comic timing in this movie too. The movie has got some jokes and gags but fails as compared to the original Golmaal. The screenplay is pathetic and the script of Golmaal Returns is the biggest golmaal. This movie is only watchable on the big screen if you are a fan of mindless comedy and surely not more than a one time watch.
I would give it a rating of 2.5/5
Fashion movie review
Fashion has been directed by Madhur Bhandarkar who is known for his realistic movies like Page 3, Chandni Bar and Corporate. Madhur Bhandarkar made the movie Fashion to expose the dark side of the fashion industry too. The movie went through a lot of controversies and the movie even received an "A" rating from the censor board. It was expected that the film would touch the sex, sleaze, drugs, compromise and all other negative aspects of the fashion industry. Many people in the fashion industry also felt that this pessimistic view of the industry might give a wrong impression to the masses about the industry.
But Madhur Bhandarkar has again showed brilliance in directing realistic cinema with absolute flawlessness. The story is about Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) who wants to become a supermodel and she walks the ramp for various designers and makes it to the top in the fashion industry. But she has to pay the price soon and her decline from the position starts very soon. She also meets a lot of people during this period especially Shonali Gujral (Kangana Ranaut) and Janet (Mugdha Godse). But she does is not ready to give up so easily. The storytelling, screenplay and cinematography are excellent in the movie. There is skin show in the movie to some extent but the script demads it and it is not unnecessary glamour and skin show as used by Bollywood filmmakers. There are some great situations in the movie like Shonali's wardrobe malfunction and Janet marrying a famous gay designer (Samir Soni) even after knowing about the situation.
All the actresses in the movie have done absolute justice to their roles. Mugdha Godse is natural although she is a newcomer while Kangana Ranaut has performed brilliantly and might be in nominations for supporting actress award next year. But Priyanka Chopra stole the show with a career best performance. She is excellent throughout the movie more towards the second hour. She is not only gorgeous but has acted exceptionally well in the movie. The best scene according to me is the one when she falls in her own eyes and breaks down infront of the mirror.
This movie is excellent and Madhur Bhandarkar has again proved that he can touch the masses with realistic cinema.
I would give this movie a rating of 4/5.
Hello Movie Review
Hello was released on October 10 and is based on the famous book One Night at the Call Center by Chetan Bhagat. The promotional videos of the movie mainly showed Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. But to everyone's disappointment, both Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are only in special appearances in the movie. The story is of six call center executives – Shyam/Agent Sam (Sharman Joshi), Varun/Vroom (Sohail Khan), Radhika (Amrita Arora), Eesha (Eesha Koppikar), Priyanka (Gul Panag) and Military Uncle/VP Chauhan (Sharat Saxena) who have been in the same call center for six years. Their boss Mr Bakshi (Dalip Tahil) is hated by all of them. The story revolves around their personal lives and struggles for most of the movie and it is only towards the end that they receive a call from God. The story is a bit messed up and the screenplay is very weak.
The actors and actresses in the movie have done a decent job though Sharman Joshi has done considerably better than the rest. The book is good for reading but the adaptation of Chetan's Bhagat's book by Atul Agnihotri is average.
I would give this movie a rating of 2.5/5.
Drona Movie Review
Drona is a big budget movie with a big starcast and claimed to be the second bollywood movie after Krrish based on the idea of a superhero. However, it is far behind Krrish in every field and lacks proper direction and script.
The screenplay of the movie is pathetic and the story is very weak. It looks more of a fantasy film than a superhero film. The opening of the movie reminds of cindrella as Aditya (Abhishek Bachan) is humilated in a foster family. In some other part of the world, Riz Raizada (Kay Kay Menon) is an evil magician who wants to get the precious secret – the amrit and become the most powerful person. Then Sonia (Priyanka Chopra) enters into Aditya's life making him realize his supernatural powers. She also tells him about his descendents and his mother Queen Jayati Devi (Jaya Bachan). Then a love affair between Aditya and Sonia also takes place. The movie does not have a good plot and there is little scope for the the director Goldie Behl or any of the actors to give a good boost to the movie.
The movie fails to appeal and I would give it a rating of 2/5

Delta Goodrem looks to Cate Blanchett for fashion inspiration.
The 'Lost Without You' hitmaker has admitted she turns to the 46-year-old actress when she needs some help with pulling an outfit together as she loves the way the blonde beauty styles her looks.
She explained: "My absolute fashion icon is Cate Blanchett. I love how she always does something different on the red carpet and mixes it up. You never know what to expect with her, but she always pulls it off. I love that so much."
However, when she's not getting dolled up for a red carpet or event bash, Delta, 31, prefers the more laid-back look.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Australia, she said: "I'm a total bohemian at heart. My go-to look is probably a simple white tee, black jeans, a good leather jacket and sneakers. I like to keep my style natural but always have a hippy edge - whether that's in the jewellery or my hair. It's important to me to make a look my own. It took a long time to know what suits me and my body shape. But I think the biggest lesson I've learned is that as long as you own who you are and are comfortable in that moment when you wore a certain outfit, which is really hard to do, then that's the most important thing."

After our article on modern gaming a while ago, we decided to dive futher into gaming. That's why I met up with one of my friends, and asked him if he could loan me the best game he had for his XBox 360. Maybe I should have been a bit more specific, I thought, because when he came over, before I knew it, he shoved a Japanese RPG in my console. This would be my first foray into the strange, magical, and disturbed world of the Japanese RPG. Read on for a review of Lost Odyssey.

We hereby promise to put the words "Game Review" or somesuch into the title of any game review on this site so the on-topic police can avoid reading them.
Yes, that's exactly why I didn't use the tagging system, but just put "Game Review" in the title. I don't believe tags make it to the RSS feed.
"On-topic police". Now that's a keeper.

I have a story to share with you... just after I was diagnosed (two years) and of course thinking about MS all the time I woke up one morning and at the second I opened my eyes there was a flash of bright light (in the middle of winter). Through my mind went just one thought...no, not the eyes too! So I lay there thinking fora second and then thunder...I just laughed at myself so much. We rarely have thunderstorms here during winter and because of me thinking only about ms that was the first thing that popped to my mind...well not everything is about me I guess
The second thing happened yesterday, I had a friend over and we were just chatting and I told her that I'm kinda cold and shivery and that I am a bit worried...so she says, well yeah it is kinda cold in here or at least colder than you used to have...and then I realized that we have a cold spell and I forgot to turn the heating up.

Then she suddenly began shooting, killing several Germans., In the confusion that followed, most of the company was able to escape while Ecaterina and several other soldiers were captured..."

If you're just joining in my 2015 Disney Marathon Weekend series… check out my other posts on our arrival in Disney, and my 5K, 10K, half and full marathon experiences.
The day after the marathon, I was still hurting, but I definitely felt much better than the previous day. With 12+ hours of sleep under our belts, we got up and had a nice leisurely breakfast. It was nice out- not too cool, not too warm, and a little sunny. I had a few things I wanted to do on this Monday, but I wasn't in any hurry. I really couldn't be anyways.. as I was still walking pretty slow due to my knee.
The first thing we did was wander around our resort. There are lots of cool sculptures around and we wanted to get pictures with some.
After we were finished our shenanagans, we headed out to Animal Kingdom. I was able to get fast passes for the Safari ride and "Its Tough To be a Bug."
We had to wait a little while for our turn to ride the safari, so we wandered around a gift shop a while.
Finally it was time to get on the Safari. Always a good time.
After the safari, we had some time to kill before seeing the bugs, so we popped over to Rafiki's Planet Watch.
When we got over there, we saw that Chip and Dale were out with a very short line. I got in line, but they left for a break when I was the second person in line. We wandered in to the main building and saw that Rafiki was coming out.. since there were only 3 people there, I got in line and got to meet Rafiki! He was very excited about my Dopey medal, clapped and gave me a big hug!
We headed back and made it to see "It's Tough to Be a Bug" We really didn't need our fast passes, but they're cool to have anyways. When we got out of the show, it had started to drizzle a bit. I decided to buy a poncho in the event that it started raining harder. I really didn't need to see anything else in Animal Kingdom, so we got on a bus and headed over to Downtown Disney.
The ONE thing I wanted after the marathon, was Ghirardelli ice cream. It is the best treat at Disney World ever! I had wanted to get one at the cool down party on Sunday evening, but I ended up passing out dead asleep, and even if I hadn't I don't think I could have walked fer enough to get there. So, my plan was to get one for "lunch" and then spend the evening over at Hollywood Studios, the one park we hadn't been to yet.
We made it to Downtown Disney fine and found it wasn't too crowded in the shop. There was barely any tables open though, but magically I spotted some people leaving and I scooped one up. It had started to rain pretty good while we were in there, and not a lot of people could sit out on the terrace.. so we were pretty lucky as more people were ducking into the shop to escape the rain.
We sat a while and ate our ice cream. Mike was a little worried about the rain, but I still wanted to go to the other park. I figured we could wait out the majority of the rain and then head over. We finished our ice creams and decided to move to make room for other customers looking for a seat. We walked outside as the rain picked up again. We found a seat close to the building under the terrace and put our feet up to avoid the flood. Then the skies OPENED.
We sat there for more than an hour watching the driving rain, and wathing people rushing to shelter. I didn't mind waiting and it was kind of relaxing to watch the rain. It had cooled off a lot, but I was comfortable in my sweatshirt and poncho. At one point it had let up a lot, so we decided to make our break for it (mind you, I still couldn't go very fast due to my knee.) The wind had picked up pretty good, and it was a cold rain. By the time we got on a bus, we were both soaked (and I was shivering!) My knee had been aching.. not enough to deter me from wandering around slowly, but I just couldn't picture myself walking all the way back to our room to change, then all the way back to the buses to go to the park. I conceded defeat and decided just to go back and stay in for the evening.
We took our time and packed up for our departure the next day. I felt bad that we should have spent more time at the parks (tickets are expensive!) but you just can't battle the weather.
The next morning we had a fantastic breakfast then caught the Magical Express back to the airport. Always sad to go home, but I was ready to get life back to normal. Since I didn't get a chance to take a picture at a park with all my medals, we took some pictures in front of the Disney store in the Airport.
And thus ends my 2015 Disney Marathon Weekend saga. If you stuck with me through the whole thing.. thanks for reading! I hope my experiences gave good insight to the runDisney races and helped paint the picture of what it's like to run at the "Happiest Place on Earth!" Will I do the Dopey again.. NOPE- one and done. It's just too expensive and too hard on my body physically. Will I do the Goofy Challenge.. I can't say never, but it's not on my radar anytime soon. Will I ever run another runDisney race.. I hope so! In my eyes, they still are the best races I've ever run. I hope to be able to experience other race weekends like Princess or the Wine and Dine Half Marathon. But for now, I'm taking a runDisney break. The takeaway- yes, it's expensive. Yes, the challenges are strenuous both mentally and physically. But never put limits on yourself, whether it's a 5K or an ultra marathon.. if you want it, take it! As Walt Disney once said….

Hey all,
I'm an industrial designer thats been in fashion industry for 5 years now and I'm looking to move on into other fields and opportunities like consumer electronics, furniture, home goods, healthcare, etc. Preferably in NYC but if I find something that really catches my eye, I'm willing to relocate!
I've been having a hard time searching for jobs, maybe its just a dry season or year right now but I've been using coroflot, linkedin, glassdoor, and idsa.org to look for job opportunities. And I'm wondering if there are any other places I can look to apply.
I was also told that I should look into recruiters but I don't even know where to start doing that. I submitted my application to Yehideology but thats really all I know of in terms of finding recruiters.
So any pointers that you all may have would be helpful. Thanks all!

From: Der Ba'alba
Now: Al-Tabqa, Syria
I'm from Der Ba'alba in Homs. The Syrian army stormed our district with tanks and soldiers, raiding houses looking for men. They were killing everything in their way. I and my family, which is made up of 12 people, had to flee our district to escape the killing, along with many other families in our district.
We went to the al-Sahel district and stayed for a week. It is east of Homs but the army came to that district too, and fighting broke out between the soldiers and the rebels. We were stuck between them and the children were so frightened. We moved to another district called Jibab Hamad and we faced the same story. We decided to flee to a liberated area where the Syrian army can't come and turn our life into a hell.
We decided to head to Tabqa, which has been entirely liberated by the Free Syrian Army. We could not move to the city by ourselves, but only with the help of the FSA. We were about 20 families. The FSA provided us with big buses and took us through routes where there were no checkpoints. We were worried the Syrian army might find us and arrest us.
We also were careful to avoid Alawite villages that support the regime as they all work as security men or shabiha. We could not get anything from our house in Homs, which has now been confiscated by the Syrian army.
When we got to Tabqa, the FSA secured a house for our family. We do not have any money to rent one. We also receive food supplies weekly and monthly from the FSA as well as from the Red Crescent. All the schools are closed in the city and our children are at home. I used to work as a car repairer in Homs and get something like 500 Syrian pounds per day but I've been jobless for few months because of our travelling from one place to another.
The only job I could find in Tabqa was joining the FSA, and I did. Now, I get $400 a month to help my family. My father died a long time ago and I'm the only one earning a living in the family.
I hope Der Ba'alba in Homs will be liberated soon and we can go back to our house. The situation here is peaceful but life is very difficult and you need lots of money to survive.
As told to Mona Mahmood
