Spring is here, and I couldn't be more excited. With the weather turning warmer, it is time to start thinking light dresses mixed with fun accessories. This season, there are so many great bags and cool jewelry pieces that will not break your bank. Even this fun dress from Nordstrom is only $69.00.
I am still loving choker necklaces, especially ones that tie or are a bolero style. When it comes to shoes, it is time to break out the sandals and the lighter color sneakers. One big trend is the lace-up sandal, like I am wearing, so make sure to snag a pair. Also, simple slip on tennis shoes are easy especially when you are running around. Some of my shoe picks are below.
I am a sucker for a handbag. I recently came across Sole Society, and their shoes and bags are on trend and all budget friendly. My favorite for spring is a cross body bag, like this one above that you can also wear on your shoulder. The little bit of hardwear and fringe makes it just perfectly trendy. I also will be picking up the ones below, as I always am in the need for a new travel tote.
When it comes to jewelry, I tend to keep it pretty minimal, but my favorite thing to do is stack a bunch of rings on one hand. The above mixed metal pieces are all from Topshop and there is no rule, just mix and match them for a bit of fun. Another great idea, is taking a choker, like this one from Chan Luu, and wrapping it around your wrist for something different. That makes this simple piece even more of a steal!

by thatrogersguy
The title of this post is a variation on WWJWD? That acronym, standing for 'What would Joss Whedon do?', is a pretty well established thing online, it's in the Urban Dictionary after all. I'm a big Whedon fan myself and both Firefly and Dollhouse are two of my favourite shows and I'm more than a little obsessed with Dr Horrible's sing along blog too. With all three of those relatively short running shows I ended up actually missing the characters once the series ended. (I've recently started watching Buffy on Netflix, about a gazillion years after the rest of the world). I also really like Whedon's comic work and hold his Astonishing X-Men run in high regard, along with his Serenity books and his work on Runaways.
As much as I love Whedon's work, his contribution to comics has largely been based on existing characters, either those he established expertly on television first, or in the case of his Marvel projects, ones that had already lived a life in the hands of another writer or writers. So when I want to look at a writer's work for inspiration, because my writing is mainly creator owned comics, I don't think of Whedon first. I think of the person who he followed on Runaways, another of my favourite writers, a certain Brian K Vaughan – (WWBKVD?). You see, unlike my exposure to Whedon's TV and film work, I've only ever experienced Vaughan's writing in the pages of a comic. I've never watched Lost (apart from the first episode) and I've only seen about five minutes of Under the Dome.
I haven't actually been reading Vaughan's work for all that long. Aside from one random issue of Swamp Thing and his entry in Writers on Comic Scriptwriting Vol.2, the first thing I read written by him was the excellent graphic novel Pride of Baghdad.
Pride of Baghdad is a graphic novel written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Niko Henrichon released by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint on September 13, 2006.[1] The story is a fictionalized account of the true story of four African lions that escaped from the Baghdad Zoo after an American bombing in 2003. The book won the IGN award for best original graphic novel in 2006.[2]
It was last year that I started to read more of his output, devouring the first seven Runaways trades, along with all of Y the Last Man. This post was mainly prompted by his latest Image Comics series, as last week I re-read the first Saga trade, closely followed by the second one, which had me desperate to read more of the series. (I'm well aware that I need to get reading the likes of The Private Eye and Ex Machina as soon as I can too). All three of the books I've mentioned, Runaways, Y the Last Man and Saga have had the same impact on me as a reader and in turn a writer. Each one made me question my ability, wondering if I'm wasting my time trying to get more comic work published when this level of work, work that's right in my wheelhouse, is already out there. Once that feeling lifted they had the opposite effect, reminding me what I love about writing and for this medium in particular. One of the things I love about Vaughan is that his work is emotional, without ever feeling overplayed, twee or sentimental. His characters, no matter how elaborate or unconventional the premise or setting, are very real and completely three-dimensional. Much like those Whedon creates, you want to spend more time with them and actively pine for them when they aren't around. I still miss Yorick, Agent 355 and Dr.Allison Mann. He also has immaculate taste in collaborators, working with artists who are master storytellers and whose character designs and world building matches his vision. He's the kind of writer I'd aspire to be like, even if he is actually younger, and far more talented, than I am. There are other writers whose work I enjoy just as much, for different reasons, but at this moment in time his work is resonating with me the most. His work inspires me to be a better writer.
I'm working hard on six different comic book titles at the moment, in a variety of genres, some with a co-writer, some with artists attached, others in their absolute infancy. When I go to write any of them now, I'll be keeping this in mind. What would Brian K Vaughan do? What should I be doing more of, to have this kind of impact on my own readership?
1) Establish your characters and their motivations as quickly as possible so that you make the reader care within the first few pages.
2) Make every single character count, no matter how small.
3) Give each scene an emotional punch, even if it's just a small one. Make them leave the page feeling something – empathy, revulsion, shock, compassion.
4) Don't show off in your dialogue. Your characters and plot are more important than trying to look clever. Choose the words that suit the character and scene, not your ego.
I might have to get these four points printed out and put on the wall of my writing room to help keep me on track, and as I dive into more of BKVD's work, I'm sure I'll come up with some more pointers too.

Who would have thought that something bizarre would happen when Al Franken ran for public office?
In a press conference just now, former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) has conceded defeat to the Democratic comedian Franken in the 2008 Senate race — nearly eight months after Election Day, and six months after the seat went vacant when Coleman's single term had expired. Coleman said that further litigation would damage the state, and congratulated Sen.-elect Franken on his victory. He said his future plans in politics "are a subject for another day."
Coleman also said he would no longer contest the much-litigated matter of which previously-rejected absentee ballots should and should not be let into the count, for which both campaigns had picked out lists to argue over. "I'm not questioning what's counted and what's not counted. The Supreme Court has decided," he said. "We are a nation of laws and not men and women. Now that the court has spoken, it's time to move on and not look back."
Coleman said his phone call with Franken was civil. "It couldn't have been any closer and he understands, what his family has gone through, and what me and my family have gone through," said Coleman. "It was a very personal discussion. I congratulated him and wished him the best, and he responded in kind."
It's been a long and strange journey from there to here. Coleman had initially been ahead of the long-time Democratic activist and dirty comedian right after the election, seemingly winning by around 700 votes the day after the election. But then the state went through the standard process of having the counties all proofread their spreadsheets — and it turned out he only led by 215.
Then the recount commenced, with ballots from malfunctioning machines or with markings that were too light to be scanned cutting into the lead. Then after the State Canvassing Board adjudicated the ballots that had been challenged by the campaigns for voter intent or illegal voter signatures (and most of these challenges from both sides were completely frivolous, designed to manipulate the totals), it was now Franken who was ahead by 49 votes. Then after extensive litigation on absentee ballot envelopes that had been rejected due to clerical errors by local officials, Franken was then up by 225 votes.
Then Coleman filed a lawsuit to contest the results, contending that a) ballots were let in for Franken that shouldn't have been, b) ballots for Coleman that should have been allowed were not, and c) damaged absentee ballots that had been duplicated ended up being counted twice, favoring Franken. After months and months of litigation, the three-member trial court rejected all of these claims — and some more previously-rejected ballots that were put in only expanded Franken's victory to 312 votes.And keep in mind that Coleman's Senate term expired in early January. This seat has been vacant for six months, due to two things. First, a quirk of Minnesota law prevents the certification of a winner in a contested race until the state litigation is over. Second, Senate Republicans declared that they would block any attempts to seat Franken without the full documentation — indeed, they leveraged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) attempts to block Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) from being seated, due to having a certificate of appointment that wasn't fully signed.
The national Republican Party pumped a lot of money into support Norm's fight, with a lot of people starting to suspect that this was motivated at least in part by delaying the Democrats from getting a seat. For example, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has said it could take "years" to resolve this.
But now it's over. Really and truly over. Sen.-Elect Franken is expected to be sworn in early next week, taking the seat once held by the late Sen. Paul Wellstone — a staunch progressive and close personal friend of Al's, whose death in 2002 plane crash clearly had a profound effect on the comedian, and spurred him to get seriously involved in politics, and to travel down the road that led us here.

It's Block Block Blockography, it's a freeware font (not for commercial use, you know.) Created in 2011 by Måns Grebäck – a great typeface designer and logo artist (from Sweden?) – Blockography is a nice, fun, sketchy bit of fontery with slabby fun block serifs.

Skyhook Mono
Skyhook Mono Regular is a friendly truetype monospace face from David Waschbüsch at FontomType in Hesse, Germany. if you like the regular weight there are more available for purchase online. A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch or Non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. This contrasts to more common variable-width fonts, where the letters differ in size to one another.

Copse, from London, England based designer and typographer Dan Rhatigan (also known as Sparky) is a family designed for the wonderful resource known as the Google Font Directory. Dan says "Copse is a low contrast slab serif that is a little soft around the edges, but with a clear and sturdy posture." and I couldn't agree more. Copse is a hybrid of a text face and a typewriter face, meant to hold up well if used at small sizes online, but produce a soft but clear effect at larger sizes. It has low contrast and soft edges, with some kicky ball terminals to provide a splash of color. Download Copse Regular TTF.

Citizen Kern
CITIZEN KERN from Melbourne, Australia based Sentinel Type, designed by James Arboghast is a 21st century interpretation of Georg Trumps City typeface – adding a nice modern feel and perhaps adding a bit of Emigre influence. Highly useable as a text or display face, supplied in regular and oblique with full upper and lower case, numerals, punctuation and more! Download Citizen Kern TTF.
"The slab serif, or egyptienne type style, was introduced around 1815 by Vincent Figgins; at the time it was considered the most brilliant typographic invention of the 19th century, and the style quickly established itself as a favourite for headline and poster work. By the time the Stemple foundry introduced Memphis in 1930, very little had changed, except the progression to monoline stroke. The only place left to go after that was squared letter forms (City) – or was there one last trick left to perform? I could always try the semi-serif treatment, I thought, and that's what you're getting — a semi-serif squared monoline egyptienne!"

'Up All Night' Is ALREADY One Of My Favorite Shows Of The Season! Did You Watch The Premiere Last Night?
With stars like Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph, how could you go wrong? This show will literally make you pee your pants — so get out those extra diapers!
I'm not ashamed to admit that I have been anticipating the premiere of Up All Night all summer long. And after watching the first episode last night, I know why! New mom Christina Applegate was as hilarious as ever and with Will Arnett as her daddy sidekick, this show is sure to the season's best new sitcom! What did you think about the premiere?
Last night, we met TV producer, Reagan (Applegate), who after having a baby, heads back to work for an egotistical talk show host Ava (Maya Rudolph) and leaves her husband Chris (Will Arnett) at home and in charge of baby duty!
The pilot focused on Reagan's return to work as producer of an Oprah-esque show and former attorney Chris' new job as a stay-at-home dad. The couple is adjusting to ditching martinis and late nights out for bottles and dirty diapers all while celebrating their wedding anniversary.
With hilarious one-liners and perfect improv, Up All Night is ridiculous, but in the best way possible. I can't wait to make it my new Wednesday night ritual. (After I DVR Survivor of course.)
Up All Night airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC. Will you stay tuned? Watch highlights from last night's episode!

Minutes of 2003-003-27 1. Confirm scribe. Mario is scribe. 2. Approve last week's minutes: Approved with the change requested by Paul Cotton. 3. Action Item Hugo: It is not clear what the relationship isbetween WS-Policy activity and the Features and Properties work that is happening in the PNF task force. Action Item: Summary WS-Policy spec to the list (pending) Doug: Attended OASIS's WS-Reliability TC meeting. Those attending there seemed not interested in attending our group. 4. Definition of "synchronous" and "asynchronous" No consensus right now on the definitions discusses up to now. Chris: Anne's version is to vague. In Chris' proposal there seems to be a conflation of architecture and implementation. Discussion: Does "synchronous" imply a direct connection between sender and receiver? Roger: Use of synchronous-asynchronous in the current documents is consistent with request-response. Hugo: Web Services are more than just RPC alike request-responses ... Arkin: request-response is synchronous, due to the chronological coupling. : RPC is not identical to request-response. Decision: Chris and Jeff are collaborating to draft a formulation. Prasad: Message correlation should also be taken in account. Currently, also a precise definition of MEP is missing. 5. WSA Document status and publication Eric: XMLification the current documents finished. But not converted to XML-Spec format. Ownership of different parts should be split in order to enable parallel work. qDocuments aren't checked into CVS, yet. Mike: Doc should be published asap. David: Spec generation from XML-Spec format is working. Will check in the documents. 6. Allocating our individual and collective effort to pushing the WSA document forward. Eric's proposal seems to be some kind of document-centric, w.t.t. to the approach of describing the "big picture" as an architecture of documents. Geoff: Hard to describe semantics without reference to the execution model. Daniel: It's merely a description of how XML is used in contrast of a document centric approach. Mike: How do we break up the document itself? David: Will take responsibility for the introductory overview first part of the document. Frank: Will own concepts and relationships. Daniel: Will volunteers to work on MEPs and reliability. Heather: will continue to own the management stuff. Abbie: Will own security stuff. Mark and Eric: Will work on Description and Choreography Mike M.: Will work on security use cases on privacy 7. Process improvement suggestions Roger: Suggesting a closure mechanism. Possibility to use unanimous votes. David: Pull the discussion offline to improve our efficiency. Pull things offline into a task force or sth. like that if they are in danger of becoming a permathread. Mike: More use of IRC. Some people have problems accessing IRC. Even keeping the travel situation in mind the WG decided to get more and more people to IRC. 8. Status of WS / Semantic IG? Interest in discussing the intersection of WS and SW technology areas. Hugo: Has action to help to organize communication. IG will be created in the very near future.

June 8, 2009
A new report offers some clues about a disturbing trend in the county – the rising number of people who die accidentally after using oxycodone, a painkiller found in various medications such as OxyContin.
The County of San Diego Medical Examiner's office recently released its 2008 statistics, outlining the causes of death among the cases that it sees.
About 22,000 people die in the county every year, and about half of those deaths are investigated by the Medical Examiner's office. Approximately 3,000 of those cases are brought in for further examination, and those are the cases covered in the report.
Drug and medication related accidents are among the top causes of death.
Deputy Medical Examiner, Jonathan Lucas, MD, has focused on these cases over the years to get more detail and has found that accidental deaths involving oxycodone are on the rise.
"We saw a sharp increase in oxycodone-related accidental deaths in 2007 and 2008, with 51 cases in the past year. That's three times what it was from 2004 to 2006," said Lucas.
"Oxycodone-related deaths surpassed cocaine-related deaths for the first time this year, and only alcohol, methamphetamine and heroin-related deaths were more common."
The findings provide valuable insight to local law enforcement, such as the Sheriff's Department and District Attorney, and are also shared with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and Department of Justice to help officials target the problem.
County Medical Examiner's Top Five Causes of Death
1. Cardiovascular

"But, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad why can't we go to one more row of houses?" Ah, the plea for more candy from the young ones. Taking two hours of primping to make sure the Power Rangers outfit is just like the TV show or the Cinderella costume is complete with faux glass slippers, kids are not willing to go out for just a few rounds of knocking on neighborhood doors for candy, they want a good return on their invested time getting the costume perfect. Tonight we had 3,267 players who may or may not have been sitting behind their laptops dressed as Frankenstein, but they all wanted as much candy from the $653,400.00 prize pool as possible as the Sunday Warm-up was set to drop bite-sized to king-sized morsels into the pillow cases of 495 players.
Perhaps the field was too scary for Team PokerStars to bear this evening as only one Team Pro would weave through over 80 percent of the field to collect his Hershey Kiss-sized cash. Belgium's Matthias de Meulder would outlast his fellow Team Pro brother Christophe and enough dressed up ghouls to claim $313.63 in 432nd place.
Much further up the pay scale a familiar name was attempting to reach the final table of this tournament once again. Vingtcent, who took third place for $67K just two weeks ago in this tournament was aligned for another final table tonight. With the blinds at 20K/40K ante 4K and down to a shade under 400K in chips, Vingtcent would shove UTG finding a caller in Xplogo. A couple of hearts 6♥K♥ for Vingtcent needing three more on the board against Xplogo's big slick K♣A♣. Vingtcent would get two, but not three hearts 4♠ 8♣ A♥ T♥ Q♣ ending the night in 33rd place ($1,470.15).
Down to the final table bubble VIP Supernova tvasmif and Solomolo sitting on their shortstacks looking for a double up as the blinds moved up to 65K/130K ante 13K. Pimola was involved with three different preflop all-ins, losing twice, winning once to remain in. A tough bubble to burst as our final ten would play through the entire level as the blinds moved up to 80K/160K ante 16K to put even more pressure on the short stacks. Solomolo felt that candy sack of chips getting lighter and lighter from the Skittles going into the blinds and antes and with 683,028 chips in the small blind tried to open shove hoping to snag that free money. Pokerfred99's pocket eights 8♦8♣ had other ideas and made the call racing against Solomolo's 9♦A♠. After the 7♦ J♥ T♣ flop Solomolo did not want to pair that nine. But, the board did not hear those pleas and placed the 9♣ on the turn giving Pokerfred99 a straight and Solomolo's night in tenth place starting up the final table below:
Seat 1: stormi22 (5441223 in chips)
Seat 2: tvasimf (763222 in chips)
Seat 3: BrightStripe (6306797 in chips)
Seat 4: MikeCzechl (4780876 in chips)
Seat 5: totaloser (3341176 in chips)
Seat 6: Pokerfred99 (4487896 in chips)
Seat 7: Pimola (1924930 in chips)
Seat 8: akb1 (3143346 in chips)
Seat 9: freshleo111 (2480534 in chips)
Shining even brighter
tvasimf was not able to take a stack with under five BBs to start the final table and roll it up into something worth six figures in real cash. With the blinds still at 80K/160K ante 16K and down to just 379,222 chips the short stack would find his shove called by stormi22 and BrightStripe. After a 5♥ K♣ T♥ flop BrightStripe led out for 364,645 as stormi22 replied with a "pfffffffffff" while folding. BrightStripe's set of fives 5♦5♠ had the hand almost locked over tvasimf's A♥6♦. No heart on the 9♦ turn and tvasimf was off to collect $5,227.20 in ninth place.
The ladies are not sleeping
The ladies are not sleeping
Sometimes it's better to just let the big blind take a walk...
The open small blind shove carries a lot more weight when the stakes are this high and the blinds are reaching levels that make pushing preflop necessary. Pimola would put 2.7 million the middle with a small ace 3♥A♦ just needing to quietly walk away with the dead money in the middle. But, akb1's lovely pair of ladies Q♦Q♠ had no intention of resting on Halloween eve and danced their way to 5.6 million chip pot after avoiding an ace on the K♥ 4♣ K♦ K♠ 9♥ board to send Pimola home with $8,167.50 in eighth place. Chalk up another big final table for the German, as Pimola was also seen at the first Sunday Million final table this year finishing 7th for $37K.
Permanent break
Just before the player were about to restock their snack pile on the tenth hour break, the freshleo111 tried to Pokerfred99 away from his min raise while in the big blind. Holding a modest A♠8♦ Pokerfred99 and plenty of chips to cover, he made the call and was a slight favorite over the J♦K♠ of freshleo111. No aces, no faces on the 9♠ 2♣ 9♥ 3♦ 2♥ board and freshelo111's roar was silenced in seventh place.
During a following the break our remaining six would make several attempts to stop the clock for chop discussion but with one or two players looking to take home the entire $102,584.70 first place prize there would be no stoppage.
Not winner but not a complete loser either
Our final six would play on for nearly a whole level without an elimination. But, as the 125K/250K ante 25K blinds were just about to go up MikeCzechl decided to break the raise it and take it norm. Another small blind open shove by MikeCzechl covering the big blind, but totaloser was feeling lucky with 3.7 million chips and an ace A♠6♥ making the call. MikeCzechl was not playing the bully this time turning up big slick A♦K♥. King on the flop K♣ 5♣ T♣ and since totaloser was club-less the 5♥ turn would shutout the Finn as totaloser was a winner today earning $21,235.50 in sixth place.
Hitting a set on the flop usually gives a player the reason for a fist pump. However BrightStripe is not likely to be throwing a party for the set of tens shown below:
Pocket tens T♠T♦ for BrightStripe looked great on the 9♣ K♠ T♥ flop. But akb1's A♥J♦ looked better with the Q♥ turned straight. Non-pairing 3♣ river and BrightStripe would not go wire to wire finishing in fifth place ($27,769.50). No stranger to big final tables BrightStripe had one final table at the 2011 WCOOP and nearly another during Event #23's 4-max event.
Speaking of 4-max... the remaining four players tried to hash out a deal but akb1 did not like the cut for the shortest stack (who still had over 20BBs with blinds at 150K/300K ante 30K) and play pushed foward.
Post-flop winner
Pokerfred99 would leap into the chiplead right before the 11th hour break with a shove over a bet by MikeCzech post-flop and 9.5 million chips give Pokerfred99 a 12 million chip stack to lead into the 200K/400K ante 40K blind level.
Clear skies
Pokerfred99's stack would grow rapidly after the break going from seven million and then with the blinds still at 200K/400K ante 40K to nearly twenty million after taking down stormi22. Pokerfred99 would lead out for 884,000 preflop as stormi22 three-bet to 2.2 million. Back to Pokerfred99 with pocket queens Q♥Q♠ no decision was needed and shoved enough to put stormi22 all-in. stormi22 still had around four million behind and decided to go with pocket jacks J♠J♣. Pokerfred99 could not find a jack on the 2♣ 9♠ K♠ 7♦ K♥ board for the two-outer and the final table cleared with sunshine as stormi22 was swept away in fourth place ($37,570.50).
Another try at a deal was quickly killed with the sizable chip leader. As Pokerfred99 wanted more money than the proposed chop and neither akb1 and MikeCzechl would open their wallets as play moved to the 250K/500K ante 50K blind level.
Flipped out
Wow, nearly two blind levels later our third place finisher would be named. With the blinds at 300K/600K ante 60K and a new blind level just two minutes away, MikeCzechl would make a stand with T♣A♣ by shoving for 5.2 million from the small blind. Holding pocket sixes and a 19 million chip stack Pokerfred99 made the call 6♠6♣. A potential $50K flip for the difference between third and first as the chip leader's sixes held on the all-low 8♦ 2♠ 5♦ 7♠ 8♣ board to send MikeCzechl off with $53,905.50 in third place
Pokerfred99 takes the Sunday Warm-Up title
Heads-up play was not slated to last long with the high blinds and Pokerfred99 sitting on a huge 24.6 million to 7.9 million chip lead. But, akb1 picked good spots to make it last until the blind moved up to 400K/800K ante 80K. Only four minutes longer but akb1 did not give in willingly as he shoved from the button for 7.2 million chip on the final hand. Holding an ace A♠3♦ was plenty for Pokerfred99 to make the call as both players would pair the flop A♣ 4♠ 6♣. But akb1 could not improve his 6♥Q♠ any further as the 4♦ and river 5♠ would end akb1's night as the runner-up ($76,447.80). The lone player with chips, Pokerfred99 said no to all chop offers and finished six-figures richer as a result taking down $102,584.70 as this week's Sunday Warm-Up champion!

After days of internet speculation - some of it courtesy of your increasingly depraved Heresiarch - the News of the World provided further details of the hardcore lesbian spanking video staring Andrew Sach's granddaughter. The Screws is, of course, sister paper to the Sun to which Georgina Baillie a.k.a. Voluptua gave an interview (for a reputed £40,000, which is what Ross, before his suspension, would have called two and half days work).
According to the write-up, which was accompanied by stills of much higher quality than have previously been available (via Popbitch originally), Miss Baillie "can also be seen romping on a hardcore website called Clothed Female, Nude Male." They also offer footage of her appearance in a cable "reality TV" show entitled Slut House.
Special Detention, I have discovered, was made by California Star productions, an adult video company specialising in fetish, spanking, bondage - and also tickling, which sounds altogether nicer. They are responsible for a long-running and apparently successful series entitled English Punishment, of which this film would appear to be a variation. According to the News of the World, Georgie's "bare bottom is whipped by a raunchy history teacher before she has sex with the blonde and another "schoolgirl"". A description I have found on a pay-per-view porn site is somewhat more explicit:
James and Gray, two of the naughtiest young women in St.Lukes have once again found themselves in detention hall. This time however the teacher in charge Mrs.Ravenscroft, a strict disciplinarian who is quick to use the cane despite it's recent ban by the courts. Rumors are that she uses a strap - on dildo, and if the women agree to be humiliated, she will lessen the degree of caning administered.
She readily spanks and canes the two leaving welts in their pretty bare bottoms .The girls are also made to spank each other before being bent over the desk for a lesson with the strap-on .This however turns the girls on after pleasing themselves they soon enjoy making love to one another on the conservatory floor.
No performers are credited by name, but the blonde Mrs Ravenscroft is portrayed in the film (I am fairly certain) by Jadie Reece, who is very well known in the world of spanking videos and parties. A former glamour model, she has been involved in the scene for several years and is extremely well-regarded (indeed, beloved) by corporal punishment enthusiasts and by her co-stars. As "Jadie", she appears in several further CalStar videos available on the same site. In most of her roles, as in life, Jadie takes the submissive part. To see Baillie turn up on the same set as the renowned JR was actually rather surprising: the CP scene, I had learned earlier this year, was a close-knit world at some remove from the rest of the porn industry. And Georgina Baillie is not a regular member of that scene.
With her (some might say reckless) desire to profit from her notoriety she certainly - as I noted the other day - stands in marked contrast to the discretion shown by the women in the Max Mosley case. Perhaps her association with the spanking scene was too casual or short-lived for her to internalise the code of Omerta under which it operates. There's no doubt that her actions have alienated some who might otherwise have been sympathetic to her. Mistress Switch, for example - a model of elegant discretion in such matters - was tonight heard to opine that Voluptua had "now completely lost my sympathy for playing the poor victim whilst milking it to the maximum and enjoying the publicity." Indeed, La Switch added,
I don't believe if you get the dirt slung at you, you should then sling it right back and make a tidy profit and raise your own profile. Dashing to Max Clifford and making out you're whiter than white? She's no victim. One could almost say this has been manufactured. Naive maybe but if she'd had said nothing, maybe this story wouldn't have been blown out of all proportions and other people wouldn't have been dragged into the story.
True bdsmers enjoy playing in peace and quiet without the attention of the press under any circumstances.
That's telling her.
The back cover for Special Detention lists the date of production as Feb 27th 2008, which along with other evidence suggests that Georgina's move into the porn business is relatively recent. Although it might also be seen as the culmination of a period lasting at least five years, during which she has been a fetish model, a burlesque dancer, a bit-part actress, a presenter for Redemption TV (a cable channel associated with the Satanic Sluts) and, earlier this year, a dominatrix. Images from the CFNM site, and accompanying descriptions, reveal that her performance in two films stopped just short of penetrative sex with a male performer. In one, entitled Jason Davidson,
Georgina Baillie and a female board of directors evaluate a new rugby player by stripping him down and getting nasty with him. The granddaughter of Andrew Sachs helps examine the naked man's c*** and a**.
Then sex-crazed Georgina excitedly delivers a firm paddling to his bare ass while straddling him. She hungrily milks his cock while he's naked on all fours on the table.
Hogarth would have had great fun, I suspect, with the tale of this young lady, granddaughter of a well-loved and respected comic actor, advancing deeper and deeper into the sex industry. Whether it represents the triumph of feminism and sexual liberation or moral disintegration is unclear; but if I were Andrew Sachs I would find these revelations far more distressing than the news that she had spent a couple of nights with a talented if dissipated comedian.

Nice work. Unfortunately the prices they are asking for the DVD are ridiculous, as are the video on demand prices which have DRM enabled. No doubt it shall turn up on the torrent sites shortly however...

OLPC pilot in Israel – We Need the Community November 30, 2008Posted by GuySoft in Crictor, Hamakor, ITU, open source.
Tags: Bedouin, Hebrew language, Israel, ITU, olpc, One Laptop per Child
Hey all,
I am happy to tell that in the last few days there were talks between OLPC and the "Ilan Ramon Youth Physics Center" with a goal to start an OLPC pilot in Israel.
The plan
The Ilan Ramon Center already has an ongoing project for mathematical thinking and programing in the Be'er Sheva area (aka the Negev desert), where they mostly help poor families, and also Bedouin. This is a perfect place to help with OLPCs (some Bedouin even live in tents!). There is a lot to do to help. This past week I had to help the people in the Center get a C and Java IDE to work on the green laptop.
At the moment we need to adapt the laptops to suit the needs of the Ilan Ramon Center project. This means translating Sugar to Hebrew, here we really could use help from the community. We also need to make the preparations so the laptops won't get stuck at customs. Also we need to prepare a software image to load in to the laptops once they get here.
Also (sadly) we wont be able to print Hebrew keyboards (OLPC works by the ten of thousands, ' too much). So we would have to figure out a way with stickers, and design a layout for the small keyboard.
We Need Translators!
At the moment we have about 3000 strings to translate for the graphical interface. I'll be glad to recruit any volunteer that can translate and help our Israeli OLPC project, and OLPC as a whole.
Also, I'd like to get anyone that wants to help in the loop and update you about what's going on, whether it's code, or anything else you might want to do.
There were a few people before that contributed code from Israel, but i am not sure who they were (who on earth translated scracth?!).
(You can contact me at guysoft _at_ gmail.com)
I hope to update whenever I can, the university takes up all my time now.

We were lucky enough to have our dream family holiday to Florida in March 2014. It really was a once in a lifetime trip and visiting the Theme Parks in Orlando was top of the wish list. I used the Attraction Tickets Direct service to buy our tickets in advance and I have to say it was excellent.
Planning Ahead Was Worth It
Choosing which parks are best for you can be a daunting decision. Orlando is home to over 15 theme parks and water parks including Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, WetnWild and LEGOLAND. From meeting Mickey Mouse and experiencing the world of Harry Potter to swimming with dolphins and seeing cities made of LEGO, the choice of activities is endless.
We had 10 days in Orlando with our 2 children and naturally wanted to pack in as many parks as possible. I spent hours online trying to decide which tickets to buy and which theme parks and water parks to visit. Then a friend recommended contacting Attraction Tickets Direct. She had used them 3 years previously for her Florida holiday and found them helpful and good value.
I found their website and sent an email outlining the details of our trip, including what parks we wanted to visit. Margaret emailed back with prices of combination tickets that would offer the best value. I was still unsure so decided to give Margaret a call. She was amazing and instead of trying to sell me tickets we would have struggled to use, advised me to be realistic about how many parks we could visit in the time we had.
My children love Harry Potter so a trip to Universal was a must. In the end I booked an Orlando Flex ticket that was valid for multiple entry to 5 parks. We got the actual tickets in the post a few days later which saved us time on arrival at each park we visited.
I would urge anyone traveling to Orlando to visit the website or call the Attraction Tickets Direct team, they are online 7 days a week.
What Other Parents Say
"We traveled to Orlando last year with our 2 daughters. A friend recommended Attraction Tickets Direct and I am so glad they did as I was overwhelmed with the service and advice offered. "
Eddie D
"Excellent so easy to deal with no hassle and stress free. tickets we got were perfect for us. Will definitely be recommending to friends."
Gemma C
"This is the second time I've used this site and it's extremely reliable, tickets are even cheaper than at the gate . Best thing was no queuing!"
Judith T
"The assistance I received when I rang to buy my tickets was excellent. The girl was very helpful and gave me great advise on which tickets would be the best value for me. I would highly recommend Attraction Tickets for their help and value for money."

Until then, how about some pictures of our travel trail mix???
A few days before vacation, we were at Walmart picking out some travel food.
I had a bag of the new M&M Trail Mix in my cart,
when I had a lightening bolt of inspiration.
Why not just buy all the ingredients and make a giant batch of the goodness?
Sure I was spending a little bit more that way,
but I had a much bigger bowl of goodness for the long drive in our van.
This is the perfect snack mix too
because you can totally customize it with whatever you have in your cupboards
or with whatever you are craving at the moment.
Feel free to substitute something different to make it your own:-)
Sweet and salty snacks combined to create one delicious trail mix.
- 2 cups pretzels
- 1 1/4 cups salted peanuts
- 2 cups mini Chips Ahoy Cookies (8 oz. bag)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup plain M&M's
- 1 cup mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 cup mini Oreos (bite sized)
- 2 cups Reese's Puffs cereal
- Combine everything in a bowl and toss gently until all combined. Store in an air tight container.
Feel free to substitute with whatever you have in your cupboards.

In Which I Manage Not to Vent About the Synod
5 comments:
I could be wrong about this, but back when I audited the course on sacraments, we were taught that the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which was celebrated publicly with public penance preceding the actual reconciliation (on Holy Saturday IIRC), was only employed in cases of big public sins. To me this means that for private sins, there was no sacramental absolution. The sinner had to reconcile with God on his own and judge for himself whether he could receive Communion.ReplyDelete
Actually, I don't believe there was the elaborately developed theology of sin either. We never hear St. Paul say, "Those who do such things must go to Confession," yet I very much doubt that one who fell into sin occasionally would have been excluded from the Table of the Lord for life. I think repentance must have been a private matter, between the sinner and God — a matter of conscience — except for the really big sins which called for public penance.Replies
What I have read indicates the following:Delete
1. The sacrament of Penance was not widely practiced in the primitive Church. Certainly it existed (the controversies over the exact extent of the Church's authority to forgive show that), but, since Baptism was seen as practically a promise to stop sinning, it was frequently postponed, sometimes until a person was in extremis, as in the Emperor Constantine's case. There was, correspondingly, less opportunity for Confession to be practiced, and people who persistently sinned after being baptized (I gather) were apt to apostatize.
2. The distinction between mortal and venial sins did exist (or, as St John put it, between sins that do and do not lead to death), but its application to Confession I'm not sure of.
3. Some sins were widely thought to exceed the Church's power of the keys: specifically, murder, adultery, and apostasy. One can imagine how much more drastically sin in general was viewed in an age that could countenance an outer limit of forgiveness.
4. Until the advent of private Confession, an innovation of the Irish Church in the fifth century (introduced to the Continent later still), all Confession and penance were public affairs. Confession was made to the bishop, but before the congregation, and penance included or could include being barred from the liturgy of the sacrament and asking the prayers of communicants.
There may easily be details about which I'm wrong, and obviously this isn't totally inconsistent with what you've said. But that is the outline of what I understand from my readings in church history.
This is a good post and thank you for posting the link to the Queer Calling open letter to Cardinal Burke. I had an argument with a FB friend the other day about this issue and he's very rigid in his view that gay couples, even if they are family members should be barred from family gatherings because of the "children". In fact, he told me that he does have a family member who is angry at the Church, rejects Church teaching, is gay, etc and is now ostracized from the family and my FB friend thinks it a good thing. I said that was not and that it should be fine to invite a gay person with their partner to a family gathering. No, its not condoning the behavior but I don't see a problem with condoning the relationship and I think it is a worse scandal to anyone, children included, to ostracize a family member because they are gay and want to take their partner to the family event. I seriously doubt they would be making out in front of everyone just as a straight couple wouldn't be either. I had to back away from the argument since he just reiterated what Cardinal Burke said. He's very closed minded. Sometimes I think that the "causing scandal" trope is used as a tyrannical weapon for some who want to police everyone else.ReplyDelete
I think in this instance, there definitely needs to be clarification from the Church. Charity begins at home and if that can't extend to our fellow gay family members then what kind of Christians are we?? Our nephew is bisexual and has/had (its complicated) a boyfriend. We've invited him to our home and in fact have gone out to dinner with him. I like my nephew's boyfriend. He's a nice and intelligent guy. He's welcome in our home anytime. Of course they aren't going to have sex in our home, etc. They know the boundaries and are fine with that. In fact, that is another problem I have with the Cardinal's objections and my FB friend's comments. They seem to have the impression that gay people can't control themselves or have no sense of propriety in public situations and I believe that view is nasty. It definitely doesn't show any respect for the person. Sometimes I wonder if many Christians don't want to actually show love to anyone who doesn't first think/act/talk/dress like them. I think charity is growing colder and colder and it will decrease more and more.
Some lament there is too much secularism/atheists and Christian persecution in western society. Honestly, I hate to say it, but in regards to Western Christianity, I think we've had it coming. We've had a LONG history of discrimination, hate, and nastiness toward people we don't like (blacks, native americans, etc). When we had a veneer Christian society, it was nasty and lacked so much in charity (granted there were definite exceptions but the general culture...UGH). So, yeah, we have it coming and with the continued lack of love, it will just get worse.

For me, the worry is not whether people will be scandalized by people in apparently irregular situations receiving communion. For one thing, I doubt most people in Catholic parishes know most other people (in American parishes anyway), let alone the status of their relationships. Rather, my concern is not to cause confusion among the faithful, resulting in their coming to believe that it's OK to receive communion when it's not.ReplyDelete
Because once you believe it's OK to receive communion in an irregular situation, it's natural to conclude that there's really nothing "irregular" about the situation in the first place. What then happens to the incentive for people to stick with their marriages for better and for worse, or to avoid sin even to the point of shedding blood (Heb. 12:4)?
For me, in times of great temptation, the threat of not being able to receive communion has been the strongest incentive for me to resist sin. It's hard enough to get through this life without losing faith or being stained by sin. Where will I be if I can't receive communion?
Whereas if communion is not to be withheld from those who violate the commandments, how many people will acquiesce in sin rather than struggling against it to the utmost?
It's not that this harms me, or harms Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. But it could very well harm individual souls as well as the Church Militant as a whole.

No written record exists about the early Buddhism in the Philippines. The recent archaeological discoveries and the few scant references in the other nations's historical records can tell, however, about the existence of Buddhism from the 9th century onward in the islands. These records mention the independent states that comprise the Philippines and which show that they were not united as one country in the early days.[1]
The Philippines's early states must have become the tributary states of the powerful Buddhist Srivijaya empire that controlled the trade and its sea routes from the 6th century to the 13th century in Southeast Asia.[2]-[3] The states's trade contacts with the empire long before or in the 9th century must have served as the conduit for introducing Vajrayana Buddhism to the islands.
Vajrayana Buddhism of Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires
Both Srivijaya empire in Sumatra and Majapahit empire in Java were unknown in history until 1918 when the Ecole Francaise d'Extreme Orient's George Coedes postulated their existence because they had been mentioned in the records of the Chinese Tang and Sung imperial dynasties.[4] Ji Ying, a Chinese monk and scholar, stayed in Sumatra from 687 to 689 on his way to India. He wrote on the Srivijaya's splendour, "Buddhism was flourishing throughout the islands of Southeast Asia. Many of the kings and the chieftains in the islands in the southern seas admire and believe in Buddhism, and their hearts are set on accumulating good action."[5]
The Srivijaya empire flourished as a Buddhist cultural centre over 600 years from 650 to 1377 in Palembang, Sumatra. Built as a mandala on a hill from 770 to 825 in central Java, the Borobodur stands today as the living testament of the Srivijaya empire's grandeur. Three generations of the Sailendra kings built the temple that displays a three-dimensional view of the Vajrayana Buddhist cosmology. Later on, the Javanese Majapahit empire took control over the Srivijaya and became the leading Buddhist cultural centre from 1292 to 1478 in Southeast Asia.
Both empires replaced their early Theravada Buddhist religion with Vajrayana Buddhism in the 7th century.[6]
Ritual practice rather than meditation makes Vajrayana Buddhism distinct from the other forms of Buddhism.[7] Vajrayana Buddhism was also known as Tantric Buddhism and Mantrayana, the esoteric teaching, which was conveyed only by a master to a disciple through initiation or empowerment. Vajrayana means Adamantine Vehicle or Diamond Vehicle that shows the way to awaken the Enlightenment.
Mantrayana comes from the word mantra, which means words (incantation, spell, oath) of special vibrations.[8] Mantrayana makes use of upaya or skillful means, such as the mantra and the mandala. They serve as aids to mind cultivation.
The Mantrayana practitioner visualizes the mind as a mandala that expresses the mind's innate nature as the ahistorical Buddha or Enlightenment, which means the Absolute in its emptiness and which has no beginning and no end.[9] The mind is its sacred dwelling place. The Mantrayana practitioner sees her/himself as divine because, according to the Mahayana Buddhist perspective, their mind has been endowed with the ahistorical Buddha or Enlightenment nature.[10] It is also known as the Dharma nature, the eternal law that governs the universe.[11]
Buddhist Artifacts
The Philippines's archaeological finds[12]-[13] include many Buddhist artifacts. They have been dated to belong to the 9th century.
The artifacts reflect the iconography of the Srivijaya empire's Vajrayana Buddhism and its influences on the Philippines's early states.[14] The artifacts's distinct features point to their production in the islands[15] and they hint at the artisans's or goldsmiths's knowledge of the Buddhist culture and the Buddhist literature because the artisans have made these unique works of Buddhist art. The artifacts imply also the presence of the Buddhist believers in the places where these artifacts turned up. These places extended from the Agusan-Surigao area in Mindanao island to Cebu, Palawan, and Luzon islands. Hence, Vajrayana Buddhism must have spread far and wide throughout the archipelago. And Vajrayana Buddhism must have become the religion of the majority of the inhabitants in the islands.
The gold statue of the deity Tara is the most significant Buddhist artifact. In the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, Tara symbolizes the Absolute in its emptiness as the wisdom heart's essence that finds its expression through love and through compassion. The Vajrayana tradition also tells about the outpouring of the human heart's compassion that manifests Tara and about the fascinating story of the Bodhisattva of Compassion shedding a tear out of pity for the suffering of all sentient beings when he hears their cries.[16] The tear created a lake where a lotus flower emerges. It bears Tara who relieves their sorrow and their pain.
The Golden Tara was discovered in 1918 in Esperanza, Agusan and it has been kept in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois since the 1920s. Henry Otley Beyer, the Philippines's pioneer anthropologist-archaeologist, and some experts have agreed on its identity and have dated it to belong within 900-950 CE, which covers the Sailendra period of the Srivijaya empire. They can not place, however, the Golden Tara's provenance because it has distinct features.[17]
The golden-vessel kinnari was found in 1981 in Surigao. In Buddhism, the kinnari, a half-human and half-bird creature, represents enlightened action. The Buddhist Lotus Sutra mentions the kinnari as the celestial musician in the Himavanata realm. The kinnari resembles the chimera or the harpy in the Greek mythology. The kinnari takes the form of a centaur, however, in India's epic poem, the Mahabharata, and in the Veda's Purana part.
The other finds are the garuda, the mythical bird that has been common to Buddhism and Hinduism, and several Padmapani images. Padmapani has been also known as Avalokitesvara, the enlightened being or Bodhisattva of Compassion.
The archaeological surveys did not yield any statue of the Hindu deities Shiva and Ganesha as well as phallic-like monuments representing Shiva.
First Record
The Laguna Copperplate Inscription[18] (LCI) is the most significant archaeological discovery in the Philippines because it serves as the first written record of the Philippines nation and also of Buddhism in the Philippines.
The LCI mentions a debt pardon for a person, Namwaran, and his descendants by the chieftain of Tundun (now Tondo, Manila) on the fourth day after Vaisakha, the holiest day for the Buddhists, in the Saka year 822, which has been estimated to correspond to 21 April 900 CE.
Vaisakha refers to the thrice-sacred full-moon day when the early Indic and Theravada Buddhists commemorate the birth, the great awakening and the death of the historical Buddha on the fifth month of the old Buddhist-Hindu lunar calendar.
The LCI implies a moral code, therefore a legal code, of the people. As a debt pardon document, the LCI expresses the Buddhist cardinal virtue of compassion.
The LCI identifies also the Buddhist enclaves around Manila Bay and the distant Dewata state in Agusan, and the LCI refers also to the kingdom of Medang in Java.
Antoon Postma, an anthropologist and an expert in ancient Javanese literature, has deciphered the LCI and he says it records a combination of old Kavi (an ancient Javanese language), old Tagalog (a Philippines dialect), and Sanskrit.[19]
The LCI's transliteration,
Swasti Shaka warsatita 822 Waisaka masa di(ng) Jyotisa. Caturthi Krisnapaksa somawara sana tatkala Dayang Angkatan lawan dengan nya sanak barngaran si Bukah anak da dang Hwan Namwaran dibari waradana wi shuddhapattra ulih sang pamegat senapati di Tundun barja(di) dang Hwan Nayaka tuhan Pailah Jayadewa. Di krama dang Hwan Namwa

25/10/15 Avintia Racing Moto GP - Grand Prix of Malaysia - career
After the joy of going direct to the Q2 with an excellent fifth time and classified tenth in the timed, this morning everything has complicated for Héctor Barberá. Because after an incident in the warm up with Pol Espargaró, which ended with both drivers on the ground, Barbera has been sanctioned with a point in the flesh, and the addition of the fourth, it has been relegated to the last position of the starting grid. Avintia Racing driver has not despaired, but after rethinking career positions to cross the finishing line in 13th position, add their seventh victory in the Open category has been going. A great way to close the sequencing of racing in Japan, Malaysia and Australia, where it has recovered the five points of disadvantage with Loris Baz, and has also added five more. In a couple of weeks in Valencia, the Open title will be decided.
Hector BARBERA #8 / 13 ° (Open P1) @HectorBarbera
I am very happy, we ended the tour by stepping on the playard in five of six times, and I think that we have generally done a good job. We are struggling to win the category Open of the MotoGP World Championship, and although it does not have the same impact, my opponents are on equal footing due to the electronics and many are champions of the world as Hayden, Elias, Di Meglio. I think the team has been 100%, today the race was very hard because of the heat, but mostly because this morning after an incident with Pol Espargaró sent me to the last position of the grill. When the latter have to pre-empt punishes him much tire and changes all the approach we had coming tenth. Why finish 10th third, after fifth in the free and tenth in the timed, I think that it is to be satisfied. And the last one at home where I will have the support of the fans to finish off this Championship.

The global hedge fund industry employs close to 400,000 people, an increase of about a third since 2010, according to new research by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) and data provider Preqin.
Globally, around 115,000 staff work at hedge fund management firms, and a further 275,000 at hedge fund service providers such as including lawyers, auditors, administrators and prime brokers, the companies said in a joint statement. The data excludes consultants for IT, public relations and marketing.
The global total represents an increase of 30% since the end of 2010, the last time that AIMA conducted a global employment survey. The growth rate is in line with a 32% increase in the number of hedge fund management firms worldwide, to around 5,500 during that period, Preqin noted.
The most hedge fund industry workers are in the U.S., at 253,000, followed by the UK (56,000), Hong Kong (9,000), Switzerland (8,000), Australia (7,000), Canada (6,000), Singapore (4,000), Brazil (4,000), France (4,000) and China (3,000).
According to Preqin, hedge fund management firms tend to be larger on average in the UK than elsewhere, the statement continued. The average staff count in the UK is 29, compared to 20 in the U.S. and around 15 in Canada, Australia, France and Brazil. The smallest firms by staff numbers are in Hong Kong and Singapore, where the average is around seven people.
"The industry continues on a strong long-term growth trajectory," said AIMA CEO Jack Inglis in the statement. "Back in December of 2010, the industry managed around $1.6 trillion in assets and employed about 300,000 people worldwide. Today, it manages around $3 trillion on behalf of more than 5,000 institutional investors and employs about 400,000 people."
"The market has diversified over recent years, and the hedge fund industry is an increasingly global one," added Preqin's Amy Bensted, head of hedge fund products for the company. "Although the U.S. remains the largest center for hedge fund employment, significant numbers of people now work in hedge fund firms or service providers in financial hubs across the globe."
AIMA is a global alternative investment industry association with 1,800+ corporate members in more than 50 countries. It is the co-founder of the well-known Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst designation, and its manager members collectively manage more than $1.8 trillion in assets worldwide.
Preqin, meanwhile, is a leading source of information for the alternative assets industry, providing data and analysis via online databases, publications and bespoke data requests. More than 47,000 professionals in 90 nations use the company's products.

Hey Loves!
With the undertaking of re-branding myself, I have updated my wardrobe by purchasing new and current items while getting rid of dated items. I also had to learn how to utilize the old items to keep them current-does that make sense?
Anywho, today, with the weather being really nice, I was inspired to wear some bright colors but I immediately went back to my teaching days and asked myself "am I gonna look like a two-year-old?" I mainly do one bright color or pastel with a solid base. For example, a white skirt and neon green blouse or blue checkered shorts and a white top.
Today, I wanted more so I selected a fuchsia button up blouse, bell-bottom denim jeans and a wedge sandal. I needed accessories so instead of basic silver I paired a lavender beaded necklace and matching earrings. Then, my hair decided not to cooperate (I am currently protective styling it with individual twist gathered in a high bun, with Marley hair added for fullness)-my edges were doing what they wanted. To tame them, I added a purple scarf with white polka dots and tied it as a headband. Boy, was I scared to go to the mirror. However, when I went I was very pleased. The cut of the blouse and jeans defined my slim waist and accentuated my curves in just the right manner. The wedges add height and thus gives a slimming and elongating effect to my legs. The denim jean, although solid, has a retro look adding another flare to my look. The necklace adds a subtle contrast to the brightness of my shirts and ties my headband to the outfit.
Here is similar version of my outfit. Let me know what you think!

3.8.3 (September 5 2012)¶
Bug Fixes¶
ENGINE-798 Fragment highlighter returns too much text when user-quoted phrases are used¶
When stopwords are close to the highlighted fragment and a user-quoted phrase is in play, the fragment highlighter would return very large fragments instead of respecting the configured fragment size.
ENGINE-799 Expensive text queries¶
Text queries with a lot of terms would take too long to execute. Smarter limits have been applied to prevent run-away queries.
Queries now only use at most 32 words. Sequence matching and did you mean suggestions are now limited to 10 words.
ENGINE-783 stripHtml option causing text query failures¶
The stripHtml option wasn't playing well with the tokenization logic, causing some obscure exceptions to be thrown for some edge cases.
Example exception that this fixes:
IllegalArgumentException: Bad basic track, start=2 end=4

This error is not unique to Jaap. But see GUI note later. I'm also running NT4.0 Sp 5, w/ Tidy from 4 Aug 2000. With the line drop-font-tags: yes in a configuration file, I get the exception error but only after the following warning appear on screen (the error file isn't created -so I ran the job a bunch of times and finally gleaned the error list since even Pause isn't effective): Unknown attribute "old" Unknown attribute "bookman" When I comment out the drop-font-tags: yes line in the configuration file (using //), the job finishes fine. This occurs with or without the Clean: yes option specified. The input file has the following line which is causing the error: <font face="How Hunting Regulations are Established
 I tried specifying the --drop-font-tags:yes on the command line with the -config option but still got the exception error. =================== I can run the file through the GUI version of Tidy (V1.1.4) using a configuration file built by that program and that contains the drop-font-tags: yes line. The job runs fine and shows the same two warning lines shown above followed by a few more with the next one being about a different input line and saying "warning: trimming empty " I am converting old files to CSS so really need this option (drop-font-tags). Since I am converting a complete site, I have many files and am wanting to use the wildcard feature of Tidy - which the GUI version doesn't support.
