HTC has finally moved the needle forward with their plans for Ice Cream Sandwich updates to their phones, with the first wave starting to hit in March. HTC initially came out and said (like most manufacturers) that they were reviewing their line-up of devices and would make determinations of which handsets would be receiving Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Since this initial announcement there hasn't been much movement, until today. HTC officially announced the first wave of devices that would be receiving the update to ICS (along with updated Sense) and that they will be receiving the update in March!
The List:
- Rezound (Verizon)
- Vivid (AT&T)
- Amaze 4G (T-Mobile)
- EVO 3D (Sprint
- EVO Design 4G (Sprint)
- Incredible S
- Desire S
- Desire HD
As you can see there is a pretty good group of devices there, unfortunately it's not a lot of devices. HTC has been pushing out handsets at a very rapid rate (something they plan on correcting moving forward) so they can't focus on all their handsets and have them all updated at the same time. Unfortunately that means a lot of people who have HTC phones, like Verizons first 4G phone the Thunderbolt, aren't on the list for ICS updates. This doesn't mean that they won't be updated to ICS, it just means that in March you won't be receiving it and you'll h ave to wait for more information to come from HTC as to when you'll be updated (if you're going to be updated).
How do you feel about this? Do you think there should be more devices on this list? Do you think that you got ripped of?

Introduction: Crocheted Bag
Hi all ,
I'm NISHA . This is my first project in INSTRUCTABLES. I love making new & creative things . In this project i would like to show you an easy crochered bag . My daughter loved it . I'm a budding crocheter and I hope friends here in INSTRUCTABLES will encourage me to do more creative stuffs and post it . The following are the steps for crocheting .
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials Used:
saten yarn - 1 roll
Nylon yarn - 1 roll
Crochet neddel - 5.0mm
Crochet maker - 4
Magnetic lock set - 1
Pearl beads few
White glue or hot glue
First 3 inch = 1 DC
Slip strich - SS
Single crochet - SC
Double crochet - DC
Half double crochet - HDC
2 Double crocheton the same spot - increase
Chain - Ch
Step 2: The Base
The base needs to be firm and also handy to place and prek . So saten yarn is used
Start with a slip knot and chain 4
Do 11 DC on the 4th chain from the hook and SS on the top of Ch3.(12DC).
Ch 3 and do 1DC in same spot and do 2DC in each DC around and SS on top of CH3 (24DC)
Ch 3 and do (2 DC in the next Dc) increases .
Do 1 Dc in the next Dc and (2 Dc in the following Dc)
and repeat this till the end and SS on the top of chain3 (36DC)
CH3 and do 1 Dc in the next Dc and (2 Dc in the following Dc ) increases
Do 1DC each in the next 2 DC and (@Dc in the following ) 1DC. Repeat till end and SS top of chain 3 (48 DC)
Ch3 , do 1 DC in next 2 DC and 2 DC in the following 1DC.
Do 1 DC in the next 3 DC and 2 DC in the following 1DC repeat till end and SS on top (60DC).
The base is ready . To increase or decrease the base size depends on the size , length and purpose of the bag .
The base starts with Ch3 and ends to an increase always .
Step 3: The Body
It is the ornate part of the bag.
We are basically doing - cluster stitch - with 3 DC skipping one DC in between \.
so it goes like this.
Ch3, yarn over ,in the same spot go and bring 3 loops to make it 2 yarn over in the same spot bring 3 yarn over fully and secure with a 1 chain.
Skip 1DC and repeat the same , except this time yarn will get 4 loops in the end and secure it with chain stitch and repeat.
Change colors if you prefer.
Step 4: The Top
On the top of each cluster is secured with chain.
Starting with that point make 1 line of single crochet.
this is do define the shape of the bag.
else it would look like a cap.
Now add 2 or 3 lines of HDC.
Use markers to point the mid way between the center and lsft and center and right and mark on both sides seperatly.
Now start the next line with SC and at the marked point chain 12 or more count.
this serves a a handle and now repeat it with a SC at the second marker point.
The chain length determines the length of handle.
Repeat the same on the otherside.
You can leave at that or the handle with a layer inside the semicircle.
Step 5: Buttoning Up
At the center point insert the magnetic lock and secure in place.
Outside of the lock can be decorated with bead or Crocheted patterns of your choice.
Here the outside of the lock is coated with glue and pearl beeds are placed and completly dried and it looks in the above picture.
I hope you will like making this bag .

Racism, domination and revolution in Bolivia
By Adolfo Gilly
September 22, 2008 -- Mexico -- "The problem in Bolivia is that the country is undergoing a process of reforms, without abandoning the democratic framework, but both the opposition and the government act as if they were facing a revolution", stated Marco Aurelio García, a close international affairs advisor to [Brazil's president] Lula, according to an article by José Natanson in the newspaper Pagina 12.
myself to not take this declaration literally, but instead in an ironic
sense, Marco Aurelio García, an intelligent and well-informed man,
can't help but realise that if the two protagonists of the Bolivian
confrontation believe that they are dealing with a revolution, this
belief is the best confirmation that, in effect, it is. The vice-president of Bolivia, Álvaro García Linera, on the other hand, has said that what
is happening is "an increase in elites, an increase in rights, and a
redistribution of wealth. This, in
Walden Bello: A primer on the Wall Street meltdown
By Walden Bello, Focus on the Global South
[Read more on the capitalist economic crisis HERE.]
September 25, 2008 -- The Wall Street meltdown is not only due to greed and to the lack of government regulation of a hyperactive sector. It stems from the crisis of overproduction that has plagued global capitalism since the mid-seventies.
Many on Wall Street are still digesting the momentous events of the last ten days:

Human Rights Watch report on Venezuela: An echo of US propaganda
Statement by the Australia-Venezuela Solidarity Network
September 30, 2008 -- As a broad network of organisations and individuals that has closely studied the significant changes in Venezuelan society since 1998 – including organising eight study tours to Venezuela involving more than 150 Australians from diverse backgrounds -- we are obliged to respond to the biases, distortions and lies contained in the Human Rights Watch report A Decade Under Chavez: Political Intolerance and Lost Opportunities for Advancing Human Rights in Venezuela, released in September 2008.
The key theme of the report -- that "Ten years ago, Chavez promoted a new constitution that could have significantly improved human rights in Venezuela. But rather than advancing rights protections, his government has since moved in the opposite direction, sacrificing basic guarantees in pursuit of its own political agenda" -- bears no relation to the reality in Venezuela today.
India: What happens to a dream deferred? Does it explode?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Climate change -- the case for public ownership
Arising out of the UK Climate Camp in August 2008 there has developed an interesting debate between Ewa Jasiewicz, an activist in Britain, and well-known radical columnist George Monbiot about the role of so-called "state solutions" to climate change. Jasiewicz's article, published on the Guardian website[i] and entitled "Time for a Revolution", was an attack on Monbiot for a "controversial presentation [at climate camp] … in which he endorsed the use of the state as a partner in resolving the climate crisis". It was also prompted by a debate between Monbiot and former National Union of Mineworkers' leader and head of Britain's Socialist Labour Party Arthur Scargill about what is more polluting: nuclear or coal energy.
Jasiewicz stated:

Climate action now!
September 25, 2008 -- The Australian federal government's climate change adviser, Professor Ross Garnaut, has released his recommendations for medium-term cuts to Australian greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
He calls for reductions by 2020 of just 5% if there is no comprehensive international agreement on emissions reductions, or reductions of 10% if there is an agreement. At the Bali climate summit in December 2007 many developed countries expressed support for goals of 25-40% reductions.

Cuba: `A world without hunger is possible … A just world is possible'
By José Ramón Machado Ventura, vice-president of Cuba, speaking on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement, at the 63rd session of the United Nations General Assembly.
[To watch video of the speech, click here.]
September 24, 2008 -- We are living a decisive moment in the history of humankind. The threats looming over the world put the very existence of the human species at risk.
The promotion of peace, solidarity, social justice and sustainable development is the only WAY to ensure the future. The prevailing world order, unjust and unsustainable, must be replaced by a new system that is truly democratic and equitable, based on respect for international law and on the principles of solidarity and justice, putting an end to the inequalities and exclusion to which the great majorities of the population of our planet have been condemned.
Wall Street crisis: Poor to bail out the rich again
By Peter Boyle
September 26, 2008 -- "Rich people got it good in this country", said African-American comedian Wanda Sykes on the September 24 Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "We refuse to let them not be rich. Think about it. Broke people are about to bailout rich people. This is what is going on."
"And they want no oversight. $700 billion dollars and no oversight! No oversight? Why should we? I want receipts dammit! What do you mean no oversight? Because, oh, you're so good with the other money?"
"This is the biggest piece of garbage ever. You know what? It's welfare for the rich...

Zimbabwe: Elite deal does not resolve underlying crisis -- Aluta continua!
September 23, 2008 -- In our last update, in the July issue of Socialist Worker, we reaffirmed our long-held position of the likelihood" of an elite political settlement between the ruling party and opposition around a Western-supported full neoliberal economic program", given the domination of all the political parties by bourgeois elites who are fearful of political implosions from the collapsing economy and the rank opportunism of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leadership. The deal signed by the leaderships of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and the MDC in September substantially confirmed our fears. We look at the deal and what it means for working people.
Chronicle of an injustice: Summary of the case of the Cuban Five (+ video)
By Leonard Weinglass, attorney for the defence
September 23, 2008 -- After decades of enduring attacks within Cuba's own borders (acts of arson, sabotage, assassinations and the use of biological weapons) perpetrated by anti-Cuban terrorist groups based in southern Florida that enjoy the support and consent of the US government, and after the United States repeatedly refused to implement measures to prevent such attacks, a group of unarmed men travelled from Cuba to the United States to monitor the activities of mercenary groups responsible for those attacks and organisations that support them and to warn Cuba of their aggressive intentions.

Cuba: Climate change, disaster and collectivism
By Susana Hurlich
September 17, 2008 -- Havana -- The TV coverage here in Cuba on the impact of hurricanes Gustav and Ike is very instructive, not just in showing clearly the extent of damage, but in giving a sense of the feelings and spirit of the people through many, many different testimonies. I notice that in much of the reporting outside the country, there's not much commentary on this aspect, which is as important -- if not more so in the long run -- as the statistics on damage.

Colombia: Open letter by Liliana Obando/Carta publica de Liliana Obando
September 20, 2008 -- At the end of the background information below (and HERE) is a link to an open letter to the national and international community sent by imprisoned Colombian trade unionist and human rights campaigner Liliana Obando.
Colombian trade union and human rights activist Liliana Obando was arrested and detained in a maximum security prison on August 8 by the anti-terrorism unit of the Colombian National Police. She was charged with "rebellion" against the state, a catch-all charge that is regularly used to imprison those who speak out against the government of President Alvaro Uribe Velez, the largest recipient of US military aid in the region.
At the time of her arrest, Obando, the sole breadwinner in her family of two young sons and her mother, was carrying out a study on assassinations of Agricultural Workers Union Federation (Fensuagro) members by paramilitary death squads and government security forces.
Venezuela: Chavez's 26 decrees -- US, opposition lies debunked
September 23, 2008 -- Venezuelanalysis -- The following is a translation of a document produced by the Venezuela's Ministry for Communication and Information. It is a summary of the content of the 26 laws passed by the Venezuelan executive and also seeks to debunk some of the myths spread by the right-wing opposition. The actual laws are 30-60 pages each, so it is an accessible way to learn what they are. The Venezuelan government is distributing this summary across Venezuela.
South Africa: Dennis Brutus on Thabo Mbeki's fall and Jacob Zuma
From Democracy Now!
September 23, 2008 -- In South Africa, the deputy leader of the African National Congress has been chosen to serve as interim president following the resignation of South African President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki resigned on Sunday over allegations of interference in a corruption case against political rival and current ANC party president Jacob Zuma. We speak to South African poet and activist Dennis Brutus.

Target Pakistan: Washington's next war has already started
By Farooq Sulehria
September 17, 2008 -- Washington's next war is already on the go. It is as yet undeclared. However, it is not unapproved. ``Classified orders'', according to September 11 New York Times, were passed by President Bush last July. And surprise of surprises! The target is not ``axis of evil''-fame Iran. It is Washington's close ally in the ``war on terror'', Pakistan.
At the time of writing, news is pouring in from the Waziristan (tribal areas) region of Pakistan of yet another US attack that has left another five ``Taliban'' dead. Only a week ago, 20 ``Taliban'' were killed in another US attack. Between August 13 and September 12, at least 79 ``Taliban'' have been killed in nine US attacks on Pakistan's tribal areas. Since January 29 (the year's first attack claimed 12 lives), more than 150 people have been killed.
Financial crisis: working people will pay
September 20, 2008 -- "Will my superannuation [pension] fund be next?" "Are my savings safe?" As working people in the developed economies watch the assets of one financial institution after another vaporise into nothingness, tens of millions are asking these dreadful questions.
Yesterday's AAA assets are now junk and yesterday's "risk-free" investments are losing money. No-one, not even the world's central bankers, who are spending sleepless nights arranging rescue bailouts and emergency injections of trillions of dollars into a financial system frozen with fear and distrust, can answer them with 100% certainty.

Definitions for "Bidet"
A kind of bath tub for sitting baths; a sitz bath.
Bathroom fixture, similar in appearance to a toilet, which has water jets for cleaning the perineal area of the body.
French for pony, dates back to the 18th century. Today, the bidet is installed near the toilet, so you can be refreshed after using the toilet. Male or female, you straddle it, either facing the faucet handles or away from the wall. You can fill the bowl or wash in the spray. There's the traditional "rim-and-spray," w/ upward spurt in the middle. Or, the simpler "over-the-rim."

Annabelle Spranklen and husband Matthew Moore upon arrival
The thing about this place is that you think you know what's in store for you, you click endlessly through the website, read every TripAdvisor review ever written (and, by the way, they're all gushing) but then you arrive and it's hard not to be completely and utterly knocked off your socks. This is so much more than a honeymooner's desert island hideaway.
It's easy to see why Marlon fell in head-over-heels in love with it in the Sixties while filming Mutiny on the Bounty, describing it as "beautiful beyond my capacity to describe. It is really beyond the capacity of cinematography to translate. One could say that Tetiaroa is the tincture of the South Seas."
In 1966, he decided to snap it up, paying its former owners, the heirs of a Canadian dentist, $270,000 for the entire atoll and the 30km barrier reef around it. He built a few simple dwellings on the land that's now the resort, including a bar (we'll get on to that later), using this as his ultimate escape from the prying eyes of Hollywood, often staying for weeks at a time.

He was also the spotless Lamb. Not only did nothing escape His lips, but there was nothing in His heart but love for those who had sent Him to the Cross. There was no resentment towards them, no grudges, no bitterness.
Even as they were putting the nails through His hands, He was murmuring, "I forgive you," and He asked His Father to forgive them too. He was willing to suffer it in meekness for us.
But what resentment and bitterness have not we had in our hearts–toward this one and that one, and over so much less than what they did to Jesus. Each reaction left a stain on our hearts, and the Dove had to fly away because we were not willing to bear it and forgive it for Jesus' sake.

About Me
Ethereal melodies surrounded by ambient landscapes combine together creating a world of music, sentiment and emotion. Haunting vocals entwine powerfully with harmonies, strings, piano and orchestral drums, expressing the passion Imogen has for her songwriting and storytelling. Her music is enough to carve a niche in the current folk and pop landscapes.
Imogen's first single Heart released in 2014 was quickly selected as the theme music for the official Vidal Sassoon add in the US for 2014 and 2017, as well as featured on the Australia drama 'Winners and Losers', and 'The Wrong Girl.' Love Is Like A Match followed reaching the Top 100 on the iTunes pop charts, and was chosen as the feature music on the trailer for 'Dance Academy' in 2016. Having toured with Ireland's Brian Kennedy and worked alongside Australia's Damien Leith, her music career is inspiring and boundless. Channel 9's The Voice was a great outlet for Imogen in 2013, empowering her to be involved in the Australian music industry. The two-year in the making EP Into The Moonlight was a beautiful collection of songs and was released in November 2015.
Imogen is at home on stage, and has been playing shows all around Australia for over five years. Stunning weddings, through to major festivals such as Aireys Inlet Open Mic Festival, Anglesea, The National Celtic, Beechworth, Queenscliff, Port Fairy Folk Festival, and everything in-between. Imogen has supported the likes of Lisa Mitchell, Michael Paynter, Brian Kennedy (Ireland), Alfie Arcuri, and Daryl Braithwaite.
In 2017, Imogen completed her study at The University of Melbourne doing a Master of Music Performance Teaching, and ACU finishing a Master of Teaching (Secondary). Imogen's singing teaching provides students with the highest quality music and vocal education, aiming to increase students' ability to connect to music emotionally. Creativity is at the forefront of Imogen's teaching by seeking to produce enriched musical experiences through improvisation. Early 2018 saw Imogen writing new music and recording with producer and songwriting Xavier Dunn in Sydney. Her third single is due to be released in Spring this year.
Imogen is continuing improving all skills relating to her voice and passion for music.

text: Not sure if anyone else going to participate but I mentioned a 365 (movie a day) challenge I saw on Reddit and several members blanched at the commitment. But I thought I'd try a movie log thread. One post per member to be edited as you watch movies. Not a full review maybe one comment or a star rating to keep to one line per film. For mine, I'm going to keep a plus or minus vs. the 365 just for fun. Baywatch - Meh, funny, recycled plot. Sicario - Really good but disturbing. The Artist - Enjoyed immensely. The Post - Liked this one but it drug a bit, still worth a viewing for sure. The Imitation Game - Another that I'm only finally getting too. Really enjoyed it. The Giver - A rewatch. Older two kids wanted to see. Just OK. Imagine the book is better. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Rewatch for me but I'm going through the series with my 11 year old. A Hologram for the King - I liked this one. As I get older I think these "transition in life" stories appeal more to me. We Own the Night - Mafia drug ring cop drama set in the late 80s. Pretty dang good. Leap! - Bad... pretty good art design but the animation is sub-par, the story is kludgy, the dialog is terribly written. I feel like it had potential that was wasted. The Book Thief - Mixed feelings. Great performances and a heart-wrenching setting and plot but something felt off... trite. Just OK. Up in the Air - If you've ever wondered what your life would be like if you'd poured everything into professional success, watch this film. I really liked it. Transformers: The Last Knight - One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not even worth the SFX and boom sounds. Terrible. Atomic Blonde - I thought it was pretty good. The ending props up the rest of the movie. I'll say no more. Atonement - Another movie I bought after awards season and never got around to. As such, I had no idea what I was really getting into. Good film. Not one to rewatch, but good. Blade Runner: 2049 - Really good. Enjoyed the heck out of this one! The Apple Dumpling Gang - Rewatch. My parents were over to celebrate Dad's birthday and my mom has been wanting to watch this. A lesser Disney classic but a family favorite. Groundhog Day - One of the best movies ever. Surprisingly deep and I'm not being pretentious or hipster when I say that. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - Pretty good. I wanted to like this one more than I did. The story seemed OK but it felt miscast and the dialog was clunky and wasn't used well to move the story forward. I could see it growing on me though now that I know the story. Wonder - Rewatch with the family. Great heartwarming film. I really like this movie. Okja - Finally got around to watching this Netflix original by Bong Joon Ho. A bit interesting in plot and ending. Would be interested in discussing if anyone else has seen it. The Big Short - I had a pretty good understanding of what led up to the global financial crisis given my line of work. Regardless, this was a great movie and I feel like it would be a pretty accessible way for those who don't know what happened to learn. Hook - Rewatch. I'm always disappointed when I'm reminded how poorly this film did critically. It's not perfect but I think it is far better than the 29% RT score. Not surprisingly it scores a significantly better 76% audience rating. Grease - Rewatch obviously. Took the kids to one of the historic theaters that shows older movies. Kind of forgot it was PG-13 (not that that's an issue in our house) and I'm glad some of the content likely went over even my oldest's head. I didn't notice an obvious reaction when Rizzo asks "What do you think this is, a gang bang?" Hunger Games - Rewatch with my middle child. This movie reminds that the series started off pretty strong. Black Panther - Finally got around to seeing this while still in theaters. Really enjoyed it. Coco - What a wonderful movie. Loved the story and characters. The visuals and music are a great way to show off a well put together system. Not T-Rex demo - a different kind of showing off a good system. A Wrinkle in Time - I never read the book so I didn't have a huge nostalgic attachment to the story. I thought it was so-so. Really basic plot and seemed like the writers got lost long the way. Hunger Games Catching Fire - Continuing watching with my middle daughter. Not as good as the first film but still pretty solid. Hunger Games Mocking Jay Pt. 1 - More of the same. Ready Player One - I really love the book so it was going to be hard for the movie to live up to that. There was a time during production when this looked like a disaster but luckily it wasn't. A little too frenetic in places for me but I still really liked it. (added 3.31.18) The Dark Tower - Better than I expected given the negative reviews but still a bit lacking. Great PQ and sound effects. (added 4.4.18) The Hitman's Bodyguard - Great action comedy that hit the spot for me. Loads of chases and fight sequences. (added 4.4.18) The Space Between Us - This did not deserve the 16% Rotten Tomatoes score it got. It is pure manipulative cheese but I would put it on par with Everything, Everything and that got a 46%. So, not a great movie either way but I watched it with my wife and middle daughter and everyone enjoyed it. Tweens are probably the target market. My kid gave it 8/10. (added 4.15.18) A Quiet Place - Good, highly recommended. Perfect balance of tension and scary. See my comments in the threat for the film. (added 4.14.18) Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle - Really great action/adventure comedy. Highly recommended (added 4.21.18) Thor: Ragnarok - Another solid entry from Marvel but not top of the heap. Some good humor but sometimes a bit too much irreverence (don't try to be Deadpool) (added 4.21.18) Justice League - Good action and sound but a bit messy from a tonal perspective. More Gal Gadot is always good though. (added 4.21.18) Logan Lucky - I like a good heist movie and this is a good heist movie. Highly recommended. (added 4.21.18) Killer Joe - This film is disturbing but riveting. If summary I wrote on the forum doesn't turn you away, give it a shot. (added 4.29.18) Blockers - Meh. My wife and I both agreed on that. We did find ourselves laughing uncontrollably multiple times but it feels like a string of immature jokes rather than a movie with a plot. Not as good as its forefathers such as American Pie and the original Hangover movie. (added 4.29.18) The Lobster - I really enjoyed this one, apparently more than most but I thought it was brilliantly done. Avengers: Infinity War - Top 5 Marvel and I like these films. The Breakfast Club - Total Classic, re-watch with my middle daughter. Definitely pushing the boundaries with this one but she enjoyed it. (added 5.18.18) Colossal - Fantastic, highly recommended. Enemy - Weird. If you like weird, its good, but its weird. Sully - Waited too long to see this but it was still good. I remember hearing that they portrayed the NTSB a little too harshly and that the investigation was done by the book. There may have been initial questions about the actions taken but it was not as accusatory and protracted as the film dramatized it. Father of the Bride - This was one of my sister's favorite movies as a kid. I watched it with my daughters. They enjoyed it but it really didn't hold up for me. I don't love films where it seem like everyone is unnecessarily ganging up on one character. Its one of the reasons I don't like the Meet the Fockers films. Deadpool 2 - I really think this one is as good as the first. Really enjoyed it. Passengers - REALLY liked this film. Way more than the review consensus. Some people need to remove a stick from their ass and enjoy a film. Downsizing - This movie was a victim of public expectation. Everyone thought it was going to be a superficial comedy. It's not. Its much more of an examination of life's journey and life choices, like most Alexander Payne films. Now You See me 2 - OMG, I knew this was going to be bad but the original was kind of a guilty pleasure film for my wife and I. Pass on this. Truly stupid. You will be dumber for having seen it. All the Money in the World - This movie could have been titled "The Biggest Dick in the World, and Not the Way You Think". Not sure how true to life it is but we were googling certain things during the film and it seemed a lot of it was at least superficially correct e.g. the fact that he loaned the ransom money instead of giving it. WOW, what a dick. (added 6.4.18) Tomb Raider - Hard meh... just... meh. Training Day (rewatched) - This came up on a podcast recently and I had to rewatch it. It holds up really well! Darkest Hour - I watched this with my extended family as my parents and sister were over. We all really enjoyed it and I thought Oldman's performance was out of this world. Any Given Sunday - This was a rewatch but I haven't seen this movie since it originally released on DVD. On the one hand, many elements don't hold up well to time, on the other, some of the injury and especially concussion awareness talk of the movie is borderline progressive. Some odd, by typical Stone-esque editing in the movie probably age the worst. The Lost City of Z - This film reminds me of a 2-part A&E mini-series that was all the buzz back in the early forum days called Longitude. Longitude starred Jeremy Irons and was a tale of obsession and frustration at being somewhat intentionally foiled in your life's work that had you screaming your frustration at the screen. Lost City of Z felt like a slower (even though it was shorter) less well executed version of that story. Annihilation - I had mixed feelings about this film. This might be the dark, sci-fi thriller version of Avatar, where the visuals outpace the story. The story here is not as offensive as the "white savior" motif of Avatar but it didn't hold up for me. The world building and visuals however, were pretty stunning. Harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Multiple time rewatch for me. My youngest is now getting into HP. This might be the last one we watch for a while as I think they're getting too intense for her. The same happened with my middle child where we had to take a break and wait on the latter films. Ocean's Eleven (2001) - Probably third or fourth rewatch. This is another film that came up on The Rewatchables podcast that we thought our kids might be old enough to enjoy. Everyone liked it. Red Sparrow - I posted about this in the dedicated thread. Gratuitous nudity and ultra-violence and the plot was just OK. It wasn't a bad film, just OK. Kingsman: The Golden Circle - I like the Kingsman films. If you haven't seen them watch a trailer. If the fight scenes look fun, watch these films. If they look irritating and stupid, you'll hat them. I like them. Die Hard - Nth rewatch. Have been trying to squeeze this in at Christmas for the last 4-5 years but it never works out with all the kids around. One of my most rewatchable films. Mr. Nobody - This is a bit of bizarre sci-fi movie with shades of The Butterfly Effect. I won't spoil it but I suspect many here will never watch it and fewer would enjoy it. That said, if you like a bit of hard sci-fi and weirdness and can tolerate ambiguity throughout nearly an entire film with very little resolution and you just want to watch something that isn't mainstream Hollywood, I highly recommend this one. But it will be a challenge. The Foreigner - This is a great off-the-beaten path action film of the "Taken" ilk. I love Jackie Chan, even more so as he gets older. He is just great to watch in this otherwise unremarkable film. Solid B. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - This is a 70s TV short that I used to watch as a kid. It was fun and nostalgic rewatching it. It was universally panned by my children. John Wick - Another re-watch. I was just in the mood for a hard action film a couple weekends ago and this one did it. They don't make many action/fight choreography movies like these films. Keanu is one of a couple actors willing to put in the work to make a movie like this that involves actual physical choreography. Ready Player One - I mentioned in the main thread on this film, I enjoyed this much more on the rewatch than the original time seeing it in theaters. My expectations of what the characters would look like in-game were subverted and the book and all the plot points left out were too fresh in my mind. Knowing what it was on the rewatch made it much more enjoyable. Murder on the Orient Express - I wanted this to be better than it was. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't good. The visuals of the train and mountain pass were stunning and the all-star cast was fun but it just never got there :( Jack Reacher - Never Go back - Basic government coverup thriller. Just OK. Edge of Tomorrow - A rewatch, maybe the 3rd time. I really really like this film. Its like Groundhog Day meets Starship Troupers. Safety Not Guaranteed - I really enjoyed this quirky 2012 indie. This movie is really about people, and relationships, and the past... thinking about what might have been and lost chances. Its bittersweet and really well done on a shoestring budget. Southpaw - This was a fairly generic boxing film and the ending was one of the stupidest uses of boxing gotcha's ever implemented. Not only was the twist unoriginal but this was the worst execution of it I've ever seen. (added 8.13.18) - Nearly 20 movies added since 6.4.18 Avengers: Infinity War - Rewatch first time at home since seeing in theaters. I REALLY love this movie. So good. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - Basically the same comment as Avengers. Deadpool 2 - Basically the same comment. Love this film. Rampage - WAY WAY better than I expected. This film benefited from low expectations, a gregarious lead who I really like and would love to meet in person some day, and a large FX budget that was well used. Plot? We don't need no stinking plot. The Equalizer - This one slipped buy me originally. Its a really well done reluctant retired badass pulled back into a world he wanted to be done with. Denzel is great as always. Taken - Rewatch. Didn't hold up quite as well as I expected. Rounders - Rewatch. Still a fun movie but there are a number of elements of this film that don't age well. The writing of the girlfriend character is god awful. I also think as I've gotten older the character of Worm just doesn't work for me. I'd beat the shit out of that guy and dump him, long history or not. Bad Samaritan - This had low ratings but I was intrigued enough to watch it. It is really a shame because with changing like 5 things this movie could have been a unique, tight thriller but some plot elements were completely screwed up to the point of really almost ruining the movie. Assassin's Creed - Jesus Christ, why did I watch this? Well, I watched it because I like the games but god this is a turd. The plot has wild inconsistencies and there are ZERO logical motivations driving key events in the "story". I have no problem suspending disbelief around a core element of this film like inserting someone into their ancestor's memories but people still need to behave like people. So poorly written. The only redeeming quality of this film is the hysterical laugh you will get at the end when you realize they clearly thought there was going to be a sequel. (Added 75-83 on 9/14). Hancock - This was a rewatch for me. Not sure what triggered it. I may have heard it come up in a podcast or something. It was actually very rewatchable and I had forgotten some of the plot so it was kind of enjoyable to see it again. Oceans 8 - This was pretty good. Hard to make the 4th movie in a franchise but in this case I think the full reboot and female cast actually helped. I liked it as did my wife. Equals - I put up a separate thread of this with the trailer and my impressions. I get why this movie didn't do better but I really liked it. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - I want to say this was a big disappointment but I expected this to be bad. It was. The Iron Giant - Probably approaching the 10th rewatch of one of the best family films ever made. If you haven't seen this, you should. Book Club - I watched this one with my wife. I REALLY liked it. Great cast and a lot of fun. Solo - I had super low expectations after hearing that this movie was so bad that Disney had to reassess their entire release timeline of their Star Wars movie franchise, including indefinitely delaying the Kanobi movie. With that said, this movie wasn't THAT bad. The problem is it felt generic. It felt like they picked up a heist movie script and put Star Wars characters in it. I get why it bombed but its still OK. Upgrade - I mentioned this movie on the forum in a separate thread as well. I really liked this one a lot. Highly recommended. The Nightmare Before Christmas - Another classic rewatch movie. Is it a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? Yes. My middle and youngest especially like this one. Clue - This one is family cult classic. My parents had the VHS and we used to watch it as a family and now we watch it with my kids. I just love this movie. Young Frankenstein - I'd only ever seen this movie once and I bought it when Gene Wilder died which was in August 2016. I just got around to watching it. I have to say because I didn't rewatch this film over and over again as a kid it was almost like seeing it for the first time. Its a bit bizarre. A little slow and wildly inappropriate by today's standards. Adaptation - I'll add comments to the rest later. Won't You Be My Neighbor Ant Man and the Wasp Rocky Horror Picture Show A Ghost Story Hereditary Fantastic Beasts 2 Wreck it Ralph 2 The Holiday Sky Scraper Borg vs. McEnroe Network Bad Santa Home Alone I think we're Alone Now (added 11.29.18) Smallfoot Christopher Robin It's a Wonderful Life Venom Con Air Pitch Perfect Pitch Perfect 2 Pitch Perfect 3 Mary Poppins Returns Edward Scissorhands (added 1.4.19 to finish year)

Progress Check-in
I'm behind, hahaha!
I've overestimated my own energy supply as well as underestimated the time it would take to get the tasks done. I keep forgetting I'm no longer in my twenties (my motto then was: I'll sleep when I'm dead, now it's more of I'm dead-tired I want to sleep)!
Still, a lot gotten out of the way. The hardest was completing and submitting drawing drafts for a commission project. However it taught me a few things on how to do my commissions in the very near future (watch out for that page soon).
As of today I am behind on a couple of dayjob tasks. I had to put the post office errand on priority because there's an Etsy order in it. I'm also late with sending out Patreon rewards so I'll ride a few on the post office trip.
My to-do list for the remaining two weekdays are:
I have a small social event on Sunday which I'm looking forward to. Wondering if I should just ride all my other going-out errands on it (artshop and office supply, a few basic clothing and personal care necessities, a few groceries) or make a separate solo trip on Saturday. I also feel like maybe work in a cafe tomorrow after the post office errand. I could use the change in scenery and certainly more natural daylight! I recently received some coffee funds so maybe I will. ^_^

Howard Stover, Master Artist by KC Moore
[tweetmeme source="artbykcmoore" only_single=false]
Artist, teacher, juror, curator, gallery owner, mentor…Howard Stover has done it all!
I've known Howard for over 10 years now. We have shown art in many venues and I have audited some of his classes. For over 5 decades he has actively been involved in the visual arts as both teacher and artist. He estimates that he has produced over 5,000 pieces of original art.
He continues prolific and his award-winning work can be viewed at various galleries in Northern California. Having exhibited in numerous juried shows throughout the country, Stover has twelve one-man shows to his credit!
He works in almost every media including ceramics, multi-media, jewelry, oil, acrylics, watercolor, ink, collage, pastel, graphite, and assemblage.
With amazing versatility, native Californian Howard W. Stover renders a multitude of images ranging from landscapes and still life studies to figurative compositions and abstractions.
His work encapsulates emotion and then explodes it upon a canvas of life. He has a BA and Master degree in Art and has been an active participant in the regional art community for years.
The painting is acrylic, gauze and paper on 12 x 12 x 1 wrapped canvas.
His teaching includes elementary, high school and college levels. Due to his extensive teaching experience and artistic prominence, Stover was selected by the William James Foundation as an instructor for 'Art in Correction', a program which evaluates the artistic talent of the incarcerated. This program allows an avenue for their natural creativity often buried, to surface through Howard's sensitive insight and guidance.
His grandchildren have followed in his footsteps. Each of them have participated in the Annual Youth Invitational in Sacramento, one has even received a ribbon at the California State Fair.

If you ever observed the construction project of a tall building being erected in the heart of a city, you quickly realize that there are many people involved in the project. You might see a group of metal workers on the fourth floor welding foundational structures together. Maybe to the side you see a different group of people laying down stones to cover up the metal frame. A little ways away from the building you observe some people studying various blueprints to see where to go from here. You can also imagine the designers and engineers drawing those blueprints, figureing out how the building should look and what type of materials should be used to hold up the weight of the structure.
Numerous people, with varying abilities are involved in a building project. The bigger the building, the more people are involved. The church of Jesus Christ is the greatest spiritual building that has ever been built. Every true believer has been cleansed and redeemed with the blood of Christ, and has been empowered by the Holy Spirit for the work of ministry-their role in this building project.
The Foundation of the Church
For us to understand our place and significance in this building project, we need to first observe the very beginnings of the church. We need to realize that at one point the foundation was laid and we are all building on that foundation.
Jesus promised his disciples in John 16 that, after he ascends into heaven, he will send them a Helper, the Holy Spirit, who will teach them all things. At Pentecost (Acts 2) the Holy Spirit ascends on the disciples and remarkable things start to happen- there was a loud thundering noise, "and divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them". The people in Jerusalem (many of whom traveled from far countries) came to see what was happening and each of them heard the disciples speak their own language. They exclaimed "we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."
From that very moment the building project of the church began. The apostles were given a unique leadership and gifting in the early stages of church formation. We read that those who believed the message about Jesus, "devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers" (Acts 2:42).
The apostles, as well as the New Testament prophets, were essential in laying down the foundation of the church. Ephesians 2:20 tells us that the church is "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets". These two giftings were unique to the early church era. Because these people laid down the foundation through revelation, we now have the full and completed revelation- that is, the Bible.
The Building of the Church
So what happens after the foundation is laid? We read in Eph. 2:23: "in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit." From the apostles to the present age the church is continually being built up by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables each person in the body of Christ with unique spiritual gifts in order that each person may exercise their gifts to serve and edify the church of Christ.
There are four clear passages that provide us with a list of spiritual gifts: Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12:7-10, 1 Corinthians 12:28 and Ephesians 4:11. The list includes apostles, prophesy, teaching, exhorting, miracles, healing, service, leading and more. Although this is not an exhaustive list, (since each list slightly differs from the other) yet these provide us with a general idea about what these gifts look like in the church.
The gifts are bestowed on all true believers by the Holy Spirit at the time of conversion. We read in 1 Cor. 12:11, "all these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills". No one chooses their gift; the Spirit autonomously gifts each according to His will- "but as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose" (1 Cor. 12:18). Just think for a moment- the Holy Spirit, in his unlimited knowledge and wisdom chose to give you your gift. Thus, each member in the body of Christ is indispensable!
The purpose of these gifts is clearly stated in 1 Peter 4:10, "as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" (also see Eph. 4:12-16). The main purpose for spiritual gifting is to build up the body of Christ. These gifts are not given to us for personal spiritual enrichment, even though we do receive joy when we exercise them.
These gifts are other-centered; they are meant to bless others. In 1 Cor. 12, apostle Paul illustrates spiritual gifts as being various parts in a body. Each member is extremely important for the function of the whole body. An ear cannot serve itself- it is meant to serve the body. If it hears that danger is near, the ear is not to keep the information to itself, but is meant to transfer this information to warn the body, and ultimately save itself. Just imagine an eye that stops serving the body- it will ultimately hurt itself as well. Our gifts are not given to be kept for ourselves, but to exercise them in blessing and growing others up in Christ.
As yourself: Do I serve others with the gift that was given to me? Do I grow in my gifting so I can bless others more? If you have the gift of hospitality, do you seek ways to be more hospitable? Do you seek to open your door to all people? If you have the gift of service, do you seek for ways to serve? Do people sense that you are available for them? If you have the gift of mercy, do you look for ways you can pour out mercy upon people? If you have the gift of teaching, do you study diligently in order to be more equipped to teach well?
The Holy Spirit has gifted Christians in the beginning of the church with unique gifts for establishing its foundation. Now that the church has a firm foundation, the spiritual gifts are given to each person by the Sovereignty of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church of Christ. May we use our gifts accordingly.

What The #$@&%! Is St. Patrick's Day? Kids Vs. Adults
In the second installment of our web series What The #$@&%! Is… we asked kids and their parents all about St. Patrick's Day. What is it? What are leprechauns? How do we celebrate it? (Apparently you should be eating broccoli and drinking green beer!)
We've may not have uncovered the truth about leprechauns but we did learn how to put on a passable Irish accent.

As a Spinning fanatic, my cycling shoes make home in my gym bag. As an instructor, I also carry around notebooks, clipboards, attendance folder, and other items I may need for a class. Add in my running shoes, change of clothes, toiletries, ipod and phone. In short, my gym bag holds a lot of my vitals.
Last month, Apera sent me their Yoga Tote to try out. Since there was no purple, I naturally went with hot pink. There is also a cool pearl color, black and blue. I've been hauling this sweet bag around with me, and have received so many compliments on it. It is one sharp looking, snazzy gym bag.
What makes a gym bag great is the inside... and how simply an OCD gal like myself can stay organized. My favorite part of this Apera bag is the built-in shoe compartment, keeping my Spin shoes separate from all the other goods.
This bag has pockets everywhere. In fact, it may be the only fault of the bag... too many that I sometimes forget which pocket stuff is in. Both sides of the Yoga Tote feature large pockets big enough to slip an iPad. I'm always tossing my miscellaneous stuff in these outside pockets - extra headbands, lip gloss, pens, safety pins, ipod, gum, etc...
On the inside, there are three more zippered pockets, where I store spare CDs for class and extra clips for my Spin shoes.
It is vitally important to me that the inside of a gym bag NOT be black. The lighting is dim in the Spin room and a dark bag interior makes it difficult to find items. So I was also very pleased with the light gray color on the inside of my Yoga Tote.
Another key feature on any gym bag for me is a water bottle pocket on the outside. This is a must to not get my stuff wet from leakage or condensation. The other side unzipped the bag wide open so I could dig and easily find stuff.
Finally, the Yoga Tote is specially created to store and carry a yoga mat. The shoulder strap's unique design enables you to slip a rolled up mat in a secure handy spot. Bonus - My foam roller was also a perfect fit in this spot!
Apera bags are constructed with wipeable polyester on the inside, so you can clean it as often as needed with a soapy cloth. The material inside and out of every Apera bag is treated with antimicrobial protection that works continuously to prevent the growth of bacterial odors on the bag. The vented fabric across the top and sides (what looks like gray dots in the pictures) keeps your bag and items dry and odor-free. Also included with every Apera bag is a mini pouch - a water resistant zippered bag to keep your sweaty clothes separate from the others.
Official bag measurements: 21" width x 12.5" height x 7"depth
Retail Price: $119.00
All BLUE bags are currently on-sale for 40% off
Finally LOVIN' my gym bag!
Now it's your turn...
During the month of February, Apera is offering you the chance to WIN a Yoga Tote in the color of your choice. Full details HERE - just sign up for their e-mail updates and you're entered in the monthly prize drawing!! Good Luck!

The re-vamped (pun intended) Mother May I Sleep With Danger is premiering on Lifetime next month, and James Franco has turned the original storyline into a lesbian vampire love affair. The trailer was just released and it looks like it's going to be perfectly hoaky and gory like any good lesbian vampire Lifetime movie should. Considering Lifetime movies rarely have any lesbian content, this is pretty fantastic.
Mother May I Sleep With Danger? premieres Saturday, June 18 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime. Let's live tweet this one, shall we?

Ms. Whitley and Mr. Holmes, third grade teachers at Fairview, lead the school's Chess Club. Chess Club is open to boys and girls in grades 3 through 5. Ms. Whitley had never played chess before sponsoring the club. It was so much fun for the girls and boys to teach her to play. Now in her second year, she continues to allow the students to show her new techniques.
The game of chess helps boys and girls learn to concentrate, think logically, overcome obstacles, spot patterns and categorize information. It helps with the development of problem-solving skills, planning, patience, focus of thought and self-discipline.
Boys and girls in Chess Club will be experiencing a new challenge this February with the beginning of tournament play. Games last for fifteen minutes. When the clock reaches zero, players count the points they have earned by capturing their opponent's pieces. This makes chess a more quick and fast pace game, like March Madness.

It was 1991 and had just spent 6 years in the restoration business restoring the most beautiful classics in the Toronto area. I was driving along North Queen by the auto wreckers when I saw a white MGB parked against their fence. I stopped and checked it out. The first thing I noticed was how straight the panels were and no corrosion. I had a friend in the trade who did engine swaps for them. He arranged to borrow the car for a pre-purchase inspection
We discovered that mechanically it was in good shape, body wise it had had front nose damage that had been poorly repaired. The paint on the hood had a line in it where they had blown it in, they didn't even bother to paint the whole hood. The panels in front of the radiator were missing.
I arranged to buy the car for $3,500, the mechanic did about $500 of work and I drove it to New York City and back on vacation.
Just after I bought the car and I was driving it downtown Toronto, someone approached me on the street to ask me if I wanted to buy their recently wrecked car. I think I paid $500 for it and I placed it with my mechanic and we split the income from selling parts and he took the engine for a project he was working on. The car turned out to be very reliable.
It had one regular problem, every year when I took it out of storage, I would get it to the top of the driveway and it would quit, the fuel pump needed attention. I was told to use a hammer and hit the fuel pump a couple of times to wake it up, it always worked.
A remarkable aspect of the car was that it still had two six volt batteries, it had never been converted to one twelve volt unit. I think I had those batteries for most of the 15yrs I had the car. Eventually, reluctantly, I converted to a Honda Civic twelve volt which just fitted into the space of one six volt holder.
In the years I had the car I did three major updates. I was at an MG club meet when I had a chance to buy two used leather seat covers, which I did. I gave them to John Kokal, interior trim artist, to install, plus Wilton carpeting. Rebuilding the driver's seat was one of the best improvements I ever made along with changing the gear box to overdrive. A Stayfast convertible roof was next.
I drove it uneventfully for years. One thing I noticed was that on the highway, because it was white and relatively low, trucks tended to not see me in their right side mirrors. My son drove the car away when leaving his wedding. Towards the end of my period of owning it, I had a chance to have the body redone and the colour changed to BRG (British Racing Green) at the local body shop school. They did a great job and it transformed the car.
After the colour change many more people asked me about it than they had before. After 15yrs, I got bored. I even bought a license plate, 2B NOT2B, because I couldn't make up my mind about keeping the car. I sold it for good money to a nice home, I then bought a four seat convertible, a 328Ci BMW, my logic was this way I could get my two grandchildren in the back. If they have been in the car 12 times in twelve years, I'd be surprised.

Them Crooked Vultures tickets hard to get, reminiscent of Led Zeppelin reunion concert
Reminds me of the ticket fiasco to the 2007 Led Zeppelin reunion concert at the O2 arena in London: So many people logged on to get tickets that the system crashed. Click here to relive some memories.
And we're already seeing Them Crooked Vultures tickets on eBay and Craigslist. Reminds me of this.
Let the buyer beware: Don't forget, to get admission, the person whose credit card was used to purchase tickets must be present to receive the tickets upon entry to the venue. So don't buy a complete pair second-hand as the tickets will be unusable to you! You may buy a single ticket secondhand if you trust that the other person bought the pair himself or herself and will be attending with you. Only that buyer's identification will gain you entry!
One difference between the ticket sales method used by Them Crooked Vultures and that of the reunited Led Zeppelin in 2007 is the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert involved being notified by e-mail and given a unique passcode with which to purchase tickets. Click here to recall why that didn't work smoothly.
Update: Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times reports tickets sold out in three minutes! He quotes a spokesperson for the band as saying, "They're doing paperless [tickets], so no scalpers. Make sure your readers know not to get ripped off!" See above; that's my advice.

A three minute sell-out is not exactly the full story. A friend of a friend of mine stayed online after the website was crashing initially and then turning up messages of "no inventory available". He finally got tickets around 10:30 or so, and I know they didn't put up the SOLD
OUT indicator until almost 11am (onsale was 10am).
If the report would have said that the website was only able to
process ticket requests for a grand total of three minutes of that hour, then THAT would be believable, so perhaps that's what they meant...
- August 7, 2009 4:42 PM
From my experience the tickets were up from 10:00 to about 10:03 then the "no inventory currently available" screen popped up. I refreshed many, many times from then on out until ~11:00 and tickets were again available about 4 for times, roughly at 10:25, 10:30, 10:35 and 10:40. Each time for about 1 minute. After that it finally said, "Sold Out".
I never got passed the error screen that appeared after selecting 2 tickets and putting in the 6 character code. Although, strangely, the last two times the tickets were up (at 10:35 and 10:40) the 6 character code portion did not show up and the error screen on the next page was different.
So, my guesstimate would be that tickets sold out in about 7 minutes.

What typically happens is that a small percentage of buyers' credit
cards are overcharged, the transaction is rejected and, 15 or 20
minutes past the hour, those tix are re-released into the pool...
In similar situations it can be worth it to keep trying for a good
half-hour or 45 minutes after the onsale time.
Another tip: with Ticketba$tard and Live Nation onsales that use a
two-word captcha system, only the longer of the two words needs to be

If you like our Pug notebooks then you'll LOVE these zig zag pattern notepads, as the pattern used in our pug notepads is the same pattern used in these notepads, only we tweaked the designs ever so slightly and switched the colours up a bit to be more vibrant and bright. We think the 2 shades of green and peachy pink colours work really well together.
The notepads are A5 in size and each contains 64 unruled pages. Each one is printed in the same zigzag pattern but in different colour variations, all 3 are held together in a pretty belly band and packaged in a clear cello bag.

We have a surprise for all the wannabe "Ulzaangs". Ulzaangs are characterised by big deep eyes with long silky hair that reflect shine. Ulzaangs love to wear bangs, layers and side swept fringes. To get a complete Ulzaang look, wear I.Fairy Rose blue circle lenses along with black synthetic wig that is named as Kurotsuchi Nemo black wig.
Whilst I Fairy Rose blue circle lenses provide big dolly eye effect witht heir outstanding 16.2mm diameter; the black synthetic wig plays its role in giving you those sweet & innocent expressions Ulzaangs often wear. The wig is 80cm long so you will have to be very careful since it can get tangled easily. The best part of the wig is this that it is heat-resistant so you can style it as per your desire & fashion sense.
The balck wig is silky & straight; kind of glossy. The bangs are absolutely to fall in love with. Cut them as per your requirement and enjoy achieving a doll-like innocent face. At the same time, I.Fairy Rose blue circle lenses will pop your eyes out for an extra dose of beauty & legendry. They have a beautiful fully bloom rose petal pattern which seems to change its color from blue to royal blue in different lightening conditions.
Black wig and I.Fairy Rose blue circle lenses together provide a dramatic yet mesmerising looks which will make everybody to gaze at you.

| 8.7°C Dublin
WHEN the draw for the 2010/11 Heineken Cup pool stages was made, we knew there would be days like this. Nothing to do with the reflections of Van Morrison's 'aul wan, rather the recognition that a group containing no soft touches was going to come to a critical juncture for Munster, as they sought to maintain a 12-season quarter-final qualification record.
D-Day has come in round five, for, as returning totem Paul O'Connell pointed out to the squad this week, Toulon is everything. Yes, Munster could maintain their impressive Magners League form all the way to the title, while continuing the encouraging development of younger players, but, lose to Toulon at the Stade Felix Mayol tomorrow (3.0), and the heart is ripped out of their season.
All week, the comparisons have been drawn with last season's trip to the Stade Aime Giral to take on then French champions Perpignan. The same sense of trepidation and reserve among supporters and media, the same referee in England's Dave Pearson, a cash-heavy French side packed with internationals going into the game with bullish fervour and the same type of rabid home support at an intimidating venue.
On that occasion, Tony McGahan's side produced a performance that ranks No 1 on Munster's list of top pool-stage displays over the previous 15 years, outstripping even the 'Miracle Match' victory over Gloucester, which was achieved in the familiar environs of Thomond Park.
A Groundhog Day experience tomorrow is the optimum outcome for Munster and their fans, but a more worrying, and relevant example, is the semi-final defeat to Biarritz in San Sebastien. Pearson was on the whistle that day also and, like Biarritz, Toulon are a French side with a limited approach, but one with the power to make it count.
Imanol Harinordoquy was the inspirational figure that damp afternoon as Biarritz played meat-and-two-veg rugby that relied on a dominant scrum and the penalty kicking of Dimitri Yachvili, who kicked six of them in the French side's 18-7 victory.
For Yachvili, read Jonny Wilkinson, Toulon's points machine and the one selection that indicates how much Toulon mean business. It is easy to forget that Wilkinson was a devastatingly effective running out-half during his peak years between 2000 and 2003 but, having emerged from an injury marathon that would have ended the careers of less driven men, England's 2003 World Cup hero is the quintessential 'get the job done' man.
Toulon left him on the bench when they travelled to Thomond Park in October, when, if they were truly serious about a smash-and-grab Cup performance, they would have started Wilkinson ahead of Felipe Contepomi at 10.
His presence there tomorrow, with Contepomi in the centre, is a statement of intent and a warning to Munster to stay on the right side of Pearson.
Then there is Joe van Niekerk. As South African signings go, this guy is right up there. Ireland have had a mixed bag in this regard, the significant contributions of Shaun Payne and Trevor Halstead being weighed down by the relative disappointment of CJ van der Linde, Jean de Villiers and Ulster's Springbok contingent.
But Van Niekerk brings an Imanol-esque inspiration to the Toulon back-row which, with Juan-Fernandez Lobbe at blind-side and Wallaby legend George Smith at open-side looks an extremely well-balanced and formidable unit.
And so to the scrum. No Carl Hayman due to the foreign player restrictions, but still a unit to be feared, particularly in front of a home support that expects and demands dominance in this set-piece. It is a day for John Hayes to show why he has won more than 100 caps for his country and why the Ireland management have such faith in his durability.
Munster have identified the scrum as an area where they need to achieve parity at the very least and it has been a busy period for scrum coach Paul McCarthy -- if they buckle here tomorrow, they are banjaxed.
If Wilkinson's presence is a declaration by the home side then so too is O'Connell's for Munster. No matter how intense the match-simulation in training, it is does not equate with proper game-time and the second-row goes into this contest under-cooked.
On that basis, his selection is something of a gamble by McGahan, but an intelligent and calculated one. One feels sympathy for Mick O'Driscoll who has done everything, and more, that was asked of him this season, but starting O'Connell carries a psychological significance that could prove crucial in the face of Toulon's early onslaught.
It would be remarkable if O'Connell lasted the full 80 minutes and O'Driscoll will have a key role to play if things go according to plan and Munster need second-half consolidation. Tomas O'Leary will have a similar duty off the bench as Peter Stringer's assured form this season is rewarded with a starting place. His swift delivery is central to Munster's intention of getting past their recent history of slow starts and rattling Toulon early on.
In this regard, the bold selection would have been Johne Murphy in the centre next to Keith Earls, but there is merit to opting for the in-your-face directness of Sam Tuitupou at 12 also. The All Black is not renowned for his off-loading skills, although he does have that capacity, but if he can make the initial inroads to suck in Toulon defenders, Stringer's swift release can allow Murphy, Earls and Paul Warwick to exploit the subsequent gaps.
The key for Tuitupou and Lifeimi Mafi, when he is introduced off the bench, is not to allow their natural exuberance for contact get out of hand for, not only will Wilkinson ruthlessly punish any indiscretion, cards tend to be decisive in tense encounters such as this.
Finally, there is Ronan O'Gara. Over the course of 12 seasons of European achievement the simple truth is that when O'Gara is on song, Munster hit their notes also. The out-half is having an excellent season and facing off with his old adversary and Lions colleague Wilkinson (they first came up against each other in 2001) is the just the type of challenge to bring out the best in O'Gara.
He will be targeted by Toulon, but that has been the case for 10 years and David Wallace, ready to have a profound influence on proceedings, is on hand to help out.
The three scenarios one can foresee tomorrow are a thumping Perpignan-style victory as Munster intensity blows Toulon away; a Biarritz-style defeat as Toulon grind out a win based on scrum superiority and Wilkinson's kicking; or a narrow, away triumph founded on drive, desire and masterminded by O'Gara.
That is the way we see it panning out. Toulon are noveau riche, European novices, while Munster know exactly what is required and the exact consequences of defeat. That fear factor can be the difference and should be in this case because, for Munster, there is no day after tomorrow.
Verdict: Munster
TOULON -- R Wulf; P Sackey, G Lovobalavu, F Contepomi, C Loamanu; J Wilkinson, P Mignoni; L Emmanuelli, S Bruno, D Kubriashvili; C Samson, D Schofield; JF Lobbe, G Smith, J van Niekerk (capt). Reps: JC Orioli, S Taumoepeau, M Merabet, J El Abd, F Auelua, R Lamont, L Magnaval, K Chesney.

The former wife of Archbishop Duncan Williams has attributed all she is to the marriage of the founder and owner of the Christian Action Faith Ministries International.
In an interview with Joy News Rev Francisca Duncan-Williams said she went through a challenging time during the divorce process but believes it was for a purpose.
"Everybody goes through challenges in life. I always say that if there is no testing there is no reward. I would rather want people to see what God is doing in my life."
"I am who I am today because I was married to Archbishop Duncan Willams. I wasn't a preacher but this man put some fire in me. And today whoever I am by the grace of God there is no one person I can point but him to say that he helped me walk this road. I thank God for his life," she added.

She was optimistic that she has also impacted the man of God's life positively just as she acknowledges his contribution to her life.
"I believe that I have also been a blessing to him as much as he has also been a blessing to me."
The Archbishop and his first wife, 'Mama' Francisca, in 2007 divorced after marrying for 26 years. The Bishop said they divorced because of "irreconcilable differences."

In a letter read to the congregation in 2006, Bishop Duncan-William said "the challenges in my marriage are personal and shall remain private for the sake of our children and loved ones," noting however that "the decision on my part was not taken in a haste without years of prayer, best efforts and Christian counselling".
The Papa, as he is known to his over 20,000 congregants in April 2008, married Rosa Whitaker, the CEO and President of the Whitaker Group, a Washington, D.C.-based consultancy specializing in trade and investment in Africa.
