ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court Registrar Office has rejected the application filed by Dr Arsalan Iftikhar to register an FIR against real estate tycoon Malik Riaz, Geo News reported.
The court office noted that the case is being heard in the court, so the application be placed before it.
Arsalan had asked the court to direct police authorities to register an FIR against Malik Riaz for running a campaign against him in the media.
PPI adds: Iftikhar, in his plea, stated that Riaz had claimed during a talk-show on a private TV channel that he has pictures of Iftikhar's family, which was a very serious matter and should be thoroughly investigated.
He requested the court to bar him (Riaz) from posting the so-called material or evidence on social media websites including Twitter, pleading that the material should be presented before the court as the matter was sub-judice.
He asked the court to direct the police authorities to register an FIR against Malik Riaz for running a campaign against him in the media.
The petition stated that Malik Riaz had in the past shunned from fulfilling his legal responsibilities and also alleged that he has violated the law by not appearing in the court despite being summoned.
The petition moreover said that if Riaz had any evidence against Arsalan, then that evidence should be submitted, otherwise action should be taken and offices of Bahria Town should be sealed.
Arsalan moreover requested that he had been provided security as he was no longer living at his family residence.

Patch Roundup: Stolen MacBook Helps Police Catch Thief, Nursing-Home Beating Death Investigated
Also this week: one source calls a fatal train/car crash in La Grange a suicide, an update on a Naperville stabbing case and Western Springs grapples with a preservation issue.
When 14-year-old Kelli O'Laughlin was murdered in October of last year, one of the ways police found her alleged killer was by tracing his and her cell phones. For the second time in six months, Hinsdale police used a similar tactic this week to find a ripped-off Apple product—a $4,500 MacBook Pro—and arrest the accused thief. It's a feel-good story of a criminal outsmarted by the very item he stole!
To the east, in Oak Park, police continue the investigation into an incident in which an 80-year-old nursing-home patient was apparently beaten to death in a fight with a fellow patient; out west in Naperville, the justice process continues for the man accused of murdering elementary-school teacher Shaun Wild.
Here's our most important stories of the week:
Hinsdale/Clarendon Hills—Hinsdale Police Use Apple's Locating Service to Make Felony Burglary Arrest—It was the second time in the last six months that officers used Apple's built-in locating service to find stolen electronics and the suspects who allegedly took them.
Oak Park/River Forest—UPDATE: Death Investigation Continues at Nursing Home—As police in Oak Park continue their investigation into the beating death of an 80-year-old patient at Oak Park Health Care, state health officials have some questions of their own.
La Grange/La Grange Park—Cook County Medical Examiner Rules Train Death a Suicide in La Grange—La Grange police say they are still investigating the death of a Chicago woman whose vehicle was struck by a Metra train in La Grange on Feb. 10.
Lisle—Judge Delays Bond Decision for Man Charged in Naperville Bar Stabbing—Daniel J. Olaska will appear before the court again March 2 after defense attorneys were given time to process additional video and photo evidence they received this week. Olaska is currently being held on $3 million bond.
Western Springs—Residents, Board Spar on Openlands Timber Trails Proposal—Local advocates of the Western Springs open-space concept were told that little action can be taken at the time; anti-fluoridation campaigners met with slightly more success.
Batavia—Batavia Apartment Fire Sends Woman to Hospital—A 62-year-old tenant was trapped at one point in a unit early Thursday morning. Here's what happened.
Wheaton—Former Wheaton Man Sentenced to 35 Years For Producing, Transporting Child Porn—David Vernon Tank, 49, was sentenced Wednesday to 35 years in federal prison for producing and transporting child pornography, the FBI announced.
Glen Ellyn—Love Compels Glen Ellyn Resident to Reopen Her Mother's Lingerie Boutique—As loved ones rush to buy flowers, sweets and lingerie for Valentine's Day, Glen Ellyn Patch looks at how a niche shop got its start--and survives.
Elmhurst—Illinois School Districts Soon Could Face 'Catastrophic' Financial Burden—Rumblings in Springfield have District 205 officials "very concerned." Top lawmakers are floating the idea of shifting the burden of funding teacher pensions from the state to the local districts.
Burr Ridge—Burr Ridge Trustees Oppose Extending Contract with Designer—Burr Ridge officials opposed extending a contract worth up to $9,100 with Josephine Goetz, of Interior Environments, Inc., who has overseen the renovation plans.
Geneva—Election 2012: Lauzen Makes Red-Light Cameras an Issue in Kane County Primary—Republican candidate for Kane County Board chairman, state Sen. Chris Lauzen, staged a press conference Thursday at a red-light-camera intersection in Geneva, where his March 20 primary opponent, Kevin Burns, is mayor.
St. Charles—Downtown Restaurant Closes Due to Reconstruction at Nearby Szechwan Building—Rx Cafe in St. Charles shut down Feb. 1 because of complications from the construction.

Believe In Futures
1 ReviewsWhat do you do when food is your worst enemy? (Frerard. One shot. Written for a contest)
I fucked up, I fucked up bad. I didn't mean to do it, nor did I want to. I lost control, I failed once again. I swore to myself I wouldn't let the enemy win again, but it did. I was a failure, a fuck up, I could never get anything right. I thought this was the only thing I could control, but I guess not. This wasn't fair, I should be able to handle this the exact way I want to.
I shake my head I sit here shifting in my seat while Mr. Morris, my History teacher goes on about the bullshit involving the Civil War. I could care less about anything else right now, I can only concentrate on my mistake. I need to remove it before it goes too deep down, I need to do it before it's too late.
My hands began to turn into fists as I impatiently wait for the clock's hand to wind faster until the bell would ring. Then, I could run out of here and to my haven, where I could do my job without anybody bothering me.
100. 200. 300. 400. 500. 600. I was pushing it. I only allowed myself so many calories in a day, so why did I have to go and fuck it up? I exhale deeply and feel tears burning my eyes as I desperately attempt to come up with an excuse for Mr. Morris to let me use the restroom. He wouldn't let me go anymore because I always went during his class for most of the semester. I couldn't help it though, couldn't he understand it was just something I had to do? I had to defeat my biggest enemy or else it would destroy me.
I feel guilt and failure take me over as I recall this morning where I had gotten up to get ready for school. When I had got dressed and fixed my hair, I went downstairs to retrieve my usual glass of water when my mom stopped me. She told me I was looking too thin. I scoffed myself and couldn't help but wonder if she was losing her eyesight. Couldn't she see I was a fat ass? I was ugly and disgusting, I don't know how she saw me as too thin. I could never be so lucky.
Then she hurt me. She hurt me by opening the stove and pulling out the tray of banana nut muffins. The aroma I used to adore once upon a time now made my nostrils flare in disgust. She set them on the table and grabbed a knife before cutting one out, barely letting it cool before she handed it to me on a napkin and made me eat it. I didn't want to. Oh god, I didn't want to eat it. It was the most horrid thing she had ever done to me, making me…eat.
My throat starts to form a lump as I can't take the guilt anymore. I need to get rid of it, I just have to. I raise my hand to grab the attention of Mr. Morris as he looks at me haughtily.
"Yes, Frank." he sighs.
"Mr. Morris, can I please use the rest room, I don't feel so good."
"Mr. Iero, I thought we talked about this, I won't allow you to keep-"
"Mr. Morris please!" I shout unintentionally, silencing the class and causing all of my peers' eyes to stare right at me. I ignore and look at Mr. Morris pleadingly before he sighs once more.
"Fine go, but hurry back and I mean it Frank." he replies as I sigh in relief before grabbing my black backpack and hauling ass to the boys' bathroom. I check the stalls to ensure no one else is present that could possibly interrupt my daily ritual. When the coast is clear, I turn my body to the mirror. I automatically frown in disgust as my reflection stares back at me.
I feel as though my body is nothing but fat. No matter what I do, no matter how much I cut back on food, it doesn't make a damn difference. My body will not become what I need to be…it'll never be…perfect. The bags under my eyes don't do mean a thing.
I run into the closest stall, and shut it before swinging my backpack off my shoulders and onto the dirty ground as I unzip the front pocket and search for my trusty friend. I smile as I feel it's sleek surface and grasp it in my hand. I lean my head over the toilet and insert the toothbrush into my mouth, forcing it past my tonsils and attempting to hit my gag reflexes. After a few tries, I start to feel something, a moment of happiness overtakes me as I realize soon my problem will disappear. I continue to jam the toothbrush into my throat. The next movement causes the contents to finally rise up my mouth and escape into the toilet. I force myself to vomit up that damn muffin until I'm sure it's not in my body anymore. It can't stop it, it's a must to not let those damn calories allow itself to harm my body. That's what the enemy is trying to do, hurt me, and I won't let it.
I force myself to continue to vomit until I taste metallic and realize droplets of blood are now dissolving into the toilet with the rest of the muffin's contents. Even then, I don't feel satisfied. As I try to go another round, I had no time to react to the footsteps bursting into the bathroom and opening the door to my stall.
"FRANK!" Gerard screams as I lift my tear filled eyes to him in pure horror shock as he studies my fragile form and casts his eyes down to the bloody toothbrush in my hand. I can't speak. My throat feels to raw to even try to come up with an explanation.
"Frank, what are you doing to yourself?" Gerard whispered as he kneeled down to me and I could see his eyes had begun to become cloudy.
"Gee." I barely whisper as I feel even more tears start to build up in my green eyes. I have no excuse. I had been caught. There was no way I could get myself out of this. I failed once again.
"I knew it." Gerard whispered to me before shaking his head sadly. "I thought it was in my head, but now I know it's true. I had my suspicions when you slept over last time, I just didn't think…oh god, why Frank? Why would you do this to yourself?" he whimpered as I suddenly felt awful. Because it seemed like my reasons before were no longer good enough to justify. I could not explain to my best friend that I truly hated what I saw in the mirror.
"Because…" I whispered before looking at him as my voice trembled in slight pain. "Because I hate myself." I whispered as I watched his face grow cold before he began to cry.
"Why Frankie?" he whispered back and I knew that he was just as destroyed as I was when he called me by my nickname…he only called me Frankie when he was disappointed in me. "Frank, why would you hate yourself…you're perfect."
"No I'm not!" I yelled at him furiously. "I'm ugly Gerard! I'm fat and I'm ugly, everybody thinks so!" I shouted, only irritating my voice more while my stomach began to churn. I heard the whispers, I heard the rumors, I even heard the insults hurled straight to my face. Nobody liked my body, nor did they like my height. I was horrid.
"It's in your head Frank. Nobody thinks you're ugly or fat, for fuck's sake Frank even looking at you now, I can see your bones." he sighed as he touched my fat arm gingerly.
"Frank, you have to stop this, you have to get help. You can't keep doing this, you'll…" he stopped mid sentence before his voice cracked. "You'll kill yourself." he finished with more tears falling down his pale white cheeks. "And I can't let that happen, I can't lose my best friend." he added as I could only look down ashamed, ashamed I had hurt my best friend so deeply.
"I-I'm sorry." my voice whispered. I couldn't figure out what else to say.
"Frankie, promise. Promise me you're going to get help before it's too late. Promise me." Gerard urgently asked me as I lifted my eyes to his hazel eyes and stared at them for a moment, lost in the depths of his orbs and how glossy they looked. I didn't know if I could do that, I didn't know if I could fully get myself to stop this…desire for control.
"I don't know-"
"Promise me Frankie! Goddamn it, I'll make sure you stop this. I'm not losing you, do you understand me? I'm not." he lamented before suddenly he cupped my cheek. "Please Frankie." he whispered completely broken, and I closed my eyes in guiltily, knowing I was the reason why. I had no choice but to look back at my best friend.
"I promise."
"And that's what made me stop." I spoke softly as Dr. Ross looked at me thoughtfully before she crossed her legs.
"I see. Now Frank, could I just ask…do you think you had this disorder, because you felt it was the only thing you could control?"
"Well yeah, I mean…I was going through a lot at home that I didn't realize at the time. My mom seemed so happy, but she was really destroyed inside because of my father. School wasn't much better when I was being bullied. I guess I just felt I could control what I ate and how much. I had the power to change myself if I really tried." I explained as she nodded and scribbled down a few notes.
"And how have you felt lately Frank?" Dr. Ross inquired curiously while I shrugged.
"I feel great." I answered.
"That's good Frank. The baby, it's doing well I assume?"
"Of course." I smiled proudly as she smiled before the timer on the clock buzzed as she sighed before she turned her caramel colored eyes at me.
"Well I think we're out of time. But Frank, thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I can just imagine how hard it must've been. But please know that I think you are inspiration for recovering like you did. Do you ever still have tendencies about food?"
"No, not really. At first I did…but Gerard…he helped me."
"Gerard means a lot to you doesn't he?"
"Oh." I sighed shaking my head. "He's my world." I finished as she grinned.
"Thank you again Frank, you're free to go. I should have your story reviewed over the weekend, I'm sure it'll help change other victims' lives." she replied as I smiled.
"Thanks to you Dr. Ross, I'm happy to have helped."
"I'll see you later Frank, have a great day."
"You too." I gave a wave before walking out of the cream colored room and down the contrasting hallway. I had come to known the clinic like the back of my hand. I waved to the receptionist before opening the door to the waiting room where I spotted Gerard reading his issue of Kerrang! He picked up on the way to my appointment.
"Hey sugar." he smiled at me when he realized I had come out. He closed his magazine before standing up to greet me.
"Hey." I replied as he planted a kiss on my lips.
"How did it go?" he questioned curiously as I shrugged.
"It went great." I answered honestly, and if I was even more honest, it felt great to feel that way.
"I'm glad sugar, let's go home?"
"Yes please." I sighed as he laughed before taking my hand in his and the both of us happily made our way back to our home. I guess owed Gerard a lot. Ever since that day, he was there for my recovery, even when I was sure there would be no hope to fix me. The long visits with my therapists, the even longer nights I spent crying until I fell asleep was absolute torture. Being consumed by a monster inside me destroyed me, at least that was until Gerard saved me. I never realized how much he truly cared for me. It made me feel like shit when I realized how much I hurt more in the process. But miraculously, after all the trouble I caused, Gerard was still by my side. Because of my best friend, I had gained a new take on life, and for the first time in my life…I felt fully alive. He made me smile and love my life, and thanks to him I now believed in futures.
I sighed as I entered the comfort of my own home and it didn't take long before I kicked off my shoes and sat my ass down on our couch. Gerard looked on in amusement as I scowled at him.
"It's not funny, my feet are swollen." I scolded him while he giggled and came over to me.
"How is junior anyways?" he asked grabbing my stomach rubbing my 8 month old bump.
"He's great." I couldn't help but smile as he kissed it.
"Are you hungry?" he asked me softly as a small spread across my face.
"I'm starving."
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile
And love life
Fully alive
And she knows
How to believe
In futures.

BMW Performance Edition Package
Add an extra dose of power to your BMW.
If you're thinking of buying a 2011 BMW 335i Sedan or 335i xDrive Sedan, there's one option you should not pass up – the recently announced BMW Performance Edition, which adds 20 more horsepower to your vehicle. It's a stunning performance value.
BMW has announced the new package option to help make the Ultimate Driving Machine a little more "ultimate." The BMW 335i and 335i xDrive models already offer knockout performance from their TwinPower Turbo Technology inline-six-cylinder engines. With 300 hp and 300 lb/ft of torque from 1,500 to 5,000 rpm, a 335i can accelerate from zero-to-60 mph in just 5.4 seconds (manual transmission). The Performance Edition boosts hp to 320 and torque to between 317 and 332 lb/ft, depending on transmission choice. It cuts 0.2 seconds from the zero-to-60 mph time, and the additional power and torque make the car feel even more responsive in every day driving.
Passing power is up as well with a 335i Performance Edition, accelerating 0.5 seconds quicker from 50 to 75 mph. BMW enthusiasts will quickly notice that the 320-hp rating of the BMW Performance Edition matches the output of the 335is, which is not available in a sedan version. So now, you can have 335is performance in the 335i sedan.
The Performance Edition also adds black kidney grilles for a sporty appearance, and a Performance Edition badge conveys the car's newly gained power boost.
If you already have a BMW 135i or 335i, a retrofit version of the package will be announced shortly. While doing that, why not also take a look at the available BMW Performance Exhaust and Aero Kit components, carbon fiber mirror caps and rear deck spoiler? It's an opportunity to add a sportier edge and personal touch to your BMW.
For your newly purchased car, the $550 package price can be added into the financing. The Performance Edition upgrade on a newly purchased vehicle is of course covered by the BMW four-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
The BMW Performance Edition contains the all-new "Power Kit". BMW Power Kits are the only form of engine "Tuning Kits" approved and covered under the BMW of North America limited warranty. Power Kits are designed and tested by BMW engineers to provide the highest power increase without sacrificing reliability.
This special offer is valid for a limited time through the end of October 2011 on newly purchased vehicles.

Pandora now available for Windows Phone 8 with free, ad-free listening through 2013
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Microsoft, Music
As we reported months ago, Pandora has finally come to Windows Phone 8. Even better, Windows Phone 8 users get free ad-free listening for the rest of the year, a feature that typically costs $3.99 per month, or $36 per year, known as Pandora One. A few weeks back, Pandora also announced a monthly 40-hour listening cap for free users, so this makes Pandora on Windows Phone 8 the best bang for your buck--provided you want to use a Windows Phone. One other cool feature is that Pandora integrates in with the Windows Phone Kid's Corner feature. When in Kid's Corner, Pandora doesn't show or play any explicit content. You can download it now.

Bing: We will be this sort of thread that runs through almost everything Microsoft is doing
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Microsoft, Video Games
The future of search, according to Microsoft, is outside of the white search bar. "Now the way for human beings to express their interest or needs goes way beyond a browser search typing in keywords," said Microsoft's Bing chief, Qi Lu. "You can use voice to have a conversation, you can use gestures to express yourself."
Moving forward, Bing will fit into all of Microsoft's products, providing information access from physical objects to expand the context of its search.
"The battle between us and Google is going to be over who can build understanding more quickly to serve people in a much more anticipatory way," says Microsoft's Adam Sohn. "Google's going to understand every entity on the planet, we're gonna understand every entity on the planet, but the question will be what do you do with that information?"

Will the next Xbox require game installs, killing used games for good?
The big rumor on the street about the next Xbox is that Microsoft will block used games from working with the console. Reports from sources have hit various news outlets saying that the new Xbox, which should launch later this year, will require mandatory game installs to the hard drive of the console, and will require an activation code in order to get them to play. Once the code is used, that game is activated for that console specifically (or, maybe, that specific Gamertag,) and won't work on other consoles, effectively killing the used game market.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet, Microsoft, Software
If you're a Windows 7 user, you'll be glad to hear that Internet Explorer 10 is now available for you.

Well, according to Microsoft, Windows 7 users can expect much-improved JavaScript performance, integrated spell-check with auto-correct, more stability, and better battery life on laptops and notebooks. Go ahead and give it a download.

More Microsoft Surface Pro 128 GB units in stores this Saturday
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Microsoft, PC / Laptop
Those hoping to score a 128 GB Microsoft Surface Pro have been frustrated by lack of supply, but that should be changing this Saturday. While Microsoft has been tight-lipped regarding Surface Pro 128 GB stock since launch, the company has promised that more of the tablets will be available in stores on Saturday. This includes Microsoft stores and Best Buy, with Staples being questionable--so if you want one, we recommend going with one of the first two.
Many would-be Surface Pro purchasers were disheartened to find stock so limited upon launch, since Microsoft didn't allow for pre-orders of the devices, leading many to believe that there would be plenty for everyone, which was far from reality. You can also try your luck at grabbing a Surface Pro from the Microsoft online store.

Why did Nokia review its own Lumia 620 on its own site?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
Can someone explain to me why Nokia is now reviewing its own Windows Phone smartphones on its own corporate blog? This just screams conflict of interest. In fact, it doesn't appear that the reviewer had anything bad to say about the Nokia Lumia 620 - but hey, it matched the green jumper he happened to be wearing that day, so, that's something…right?
The company just changed the headline, removing the word "review" and replacing it with "hands-on" while adding this note to the post:
This article was first headlined as a 'review', obviously, it's more of a hands-on account of Adam's experiences and the headline has been changed to reflect that.
They don't seem to realize that, whether you call it a hands-on or a review, it is 100% biased. Seriously, the "reviewer" found nothing wrong and nothing about the device that could be improved. Horrible.

Microsoft Surface Pro drops February 9 for $899
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop
Microsoft has finally announced a launch date for its Surface Pro tablet: you'll be able to pick one up on February 9th. Yes, the device missed the promised January release timeframe, but we're talking 9 days here. That date, by the way, only pertains to the US and Canada, with international markets to follow in "the coming weeks and months" according to the company.
Surface Pro will be the first Microsoft tablet to run the full version of Windows 8, as opposed to the stripped down Windows RT. This means that you'll be able to install and run regular desktop applications on the tablet. It's a half pound heavier than Surface with Windows RT, but also brings a 1080p display and digitizer pen support. Oh, and a much higher price tag. Surface Pro will start at $899 for the 64GB model, and $999 for the 128GB version.
Be sure to check out our Surface RT review, Surface Touch Cover review, and Surface Type Cover review!

Cheap solar power could be harder to come by, depending on what happens at the High Court today. The government says it is cutting subsidies for people who install solar panels, but environmentalists and solar power firms have launched a legal challenge. Emma Simpson report:-
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16281370
The government just announced it is reducing the current Feed In Tariff from 43.3p to 21p, starting December 2011
Order TODAY to still get the 43p Tariff for the next 25 years. Stroud & Moore are able to fit units throughout November, for you to still qualify for the current rate.

Hello Makeup Bag, we need to talk. Rumor has it you are are holding on to a few things that are making me look, well, older!
Many amazing things come with age: intelligence, security, comfort, etc., and with that delight comes gravity, graying and an occasional feeling of being less gorgeous than before. Brave the battle with a little tweaking of everyday things, like your makeup.
In the article "16 Ways to Look Younger With Makeup" (Allure, April 2012), Danielle Pergament amusingly writes that "turning back the clock can be as simple as opening your makeup bag." With her insight and some product suggestions, here is a little sarimotley digest version on how to look more youthful:
- Moisturize. Forget this step and you're doomed with dullness. Keep skin smooth and supple and the rest is easy. (Great for daily moisture replenishment and filled with antioxidants, do-over daily moisture creme with co-Q10).
- Creative concealing. Correcting facial imperfections with a light-diffusing and hydrating concealer is key. Think of adding brightness to camouflage by reflecting light away as opposed to adding layers to hide behind. Try Illusionist from Vapour Organic Beauty.
- Warm it up. Adding a touch of bronzer to warm the skin and give a healthy, youthful glow can take years off a tired face. Just go with a more day at the spa look vs. back from the beach (Vapour's Solar Bronzer in Simmer is the perfect shade for most skin tones).
- Powder is passe. The days of being powder perfect are in the past. If you must, use a translucent, light-diffusing powder like the Mineral Mix Secret Set powder from Senna Cosmetics (available at sarimotley studio). Or when it's just a touch up, try Tatcha's Japanese Blotting Papers made from Abaca leaf.
- Get cheeky. Creamy, dewy textures are perfect for dry mature skin, especially when they are packed with nourishing organic ingredients that leave your face feeling cared for. Use your cheekbones as a guide for placing blush for just the right flush. (Aura Multi-Use Blush from Vapour).
- Just browsing. Go a little lighter with your brow color (unless you are blonde, then just a shade darker) using softer strokes to fill in sparse areas. Find your brow solutions at sarimotley studio.
- Batter up. If you are not already doing so, start using your eyelash curler. Lashes become less full, and giving them a little bump up helps open the eyes and brighten your look. (Tarte's Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler is awesome.)
- Prime time. Smooth on a little shadow primer to even lid tone and soften fine lines. This will help eye shadow keep its true color and stay put longer. Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer from Senna is an anti-ageing powerhouse with ingredients like hibiscus to help firm and smooth.
- Beware black. Dark brown liner is the new black. It's less intense, but still defines the eyes. Keep the line super-close to the lashes and maybe fore go the liner on lower lashes for a softer look. (Superwear Gel Liner in dark sienna available at sarimotley studio).
- Let in a little light. A soft shimmer, not glitter, on the inner corners of the eyes will wake up your makeup. Also, jut a touch above cheekbones and on the brow bone will add nice dimension. (Trick Stick from Vapour, available as sarimotley studio.)
- Lips of luxury. Boost natural lip tone with universally flattering shades like berries, mauves and just bitten reds. Vapour's Siren Lipsticks are the go-to for finding your perfect shade. Colors that are more sheer allow natural lip tone to peek through, making the hue you choose your very own.
For more information on how to makeup a younger looking you, schedule a visit to sarimotley studio.

Residence Periods + Online Structure
No matter where you live, you can complete your University of Tennessee Aerospace & Defense MBA in just one year, with as little time as possible away from family and work. Your class time is divided into five intense, highly focused residence periods and 20 online distance-learning sessions.
Residence Periods
Five times during the year, you'll come to the University of Tennessee campus to focus exclusively on your A&D MBA studies.
During these High Compression Learning
residence periods, you'll take classes, meet with faculty advisors and
leadership development
coaches, and work on project teams with your peers. You'll also dive into your
Organizational Action Project (OAP)
, meeting delivery milestones throughout the year.
Immediately following each residence period, you'll complete a business process demonstration—a graded assignment based on concepts you just learned that's usually applied to your sponsoring organization. Potential topics:
financial analysis
customer value analysis
assessment of supplier and customer conditions within your organization
exploration of international business possibilities during the global business seminar
process analysis
evaluation of an organization's capacity for change
Plus, as a capstone-type project that allows you to put your freshly acquired knowledge into practice, we end the year with a three-day marketplace simulation. In this corporate wargame, you and your teammates will create and run your own company, competing with other teams from your class to see who survives in the marketplace.
Online Structure
When you're not in residence, you'll be participating in online distance-learning sessions held on Thursday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. Class time is dynamic and interactive, just as it would be in person, and gives you the chance to connect with your classmates between residence periods. You'll be learning each week about the most pressing issues in aerospace and defense from faculty and noted guest speakers.

Red Sea wrote:elias wrote:Red Sea wrote:Elias you can not have your cake and eat it too. If the shelter Eritrea is giving to your people (opposition group) is not good enough for you all and you all are resorted to accuse us of their coward attitudes and in actions, then I suggest you relocate them to Somalia. After all, in Somalia is where your enemy is at as we speak.
Being a guest and demanding to sleep in the master bed room, while asking your host sleeps on the floor does not sound a sign of appreciation.
It is simple. If they do not like the way they are treated and cared inside Eritrea, there is always tigray (their domain) if Somalia iis too far for them or they are scared to face the woyane where it is at.
Red Sea, I hope that all Eritreans are NOT arrogant fools like you. Asking to free our comrades is not the same as asking to "sleep in the master bed room." What an idiot!
I didn't beg to go to Eritrea. I was invited after Isaias Afwerki said publicly that "Ethiopia's unity is not a threat to Eritrea," and that he wants to provide shelter for Ethiopians who are fighting against the Woyanne ethnic apartheid junta. After the president's promise, I didn't anticipate that a mid-level Eritrean officer by the name of Fitsum Yisehak can throw in jail Ethiopian opposition leaders without any explanation. Cooperation between the GoE and Ethiopian opposition groups is highly beneficial to both sides, and I hope that there are enough farsighted leaders in the GoE to realize that and remove obstacles to cooperation.
Elias I did not bring the topic of your visit to Eritrea or who invited whom and the demanding to sleep in the master bed room was not directed towards you.
But again, yes your oposition groups are having shelter in Eritrea and that does not mean we the Eritrean people or our government got to baby sit them, or take their interests over our nation's interests.
For one you sound like you got some kind of personal issue going on with Fitsum. And if it is deemed that Fitsum (an Eritrean colonel) found out there is an intention to hurt Eritrea, not only by one of your opposition memebers (a foreigner) but even by an Eritrean for that matter have all the right to put them in jail or shoot them in the spot, and not Fitsum or Isayas has the obligation to tell the world why they did it. We are in a war footing and we are always guarding ourselves.
And as the co-operation you mentioned:
We are not asking your opposition members to fight our fights if we have a fight to conduct to. Your opposition groups are there for their benefit not Eritrea's benefit and thus, they should conduct them selves towards why they are being sheltered in Eritrea and quit medelling or telling us, if we have to have a good relationship after the downfall of woyane, we have to do this and that on their behalf.
Elias sorry to break the news, but yes majority of the Eritreans are like me, cautious but not arrogants or fools like you put it. And I refuse to call you an idiot, an arrogant and a fool for I know that you are not like majority of the scum bags of the memebers of your forum.
What kind of co-operation are you expecting from the GoE and your opposition groups? Take them to Addis using Eritreans buses and tanks like we did to the TPLF? Well, we will do that when they prove to them selves that they are worthy.
We gave them the horses and we provided them with the fields and it is upto them to gallop on it now.
If one or two bad apples are amongst them in our eyes, then you need to elect others to replace them and move on for we are not going to geoperdize our selves or interests for your comrades sake.
Rome was not built in one day as Eritrea was not freed in one day, and certainly it won't be because of one or two of your opposition members got arrested or got shot that woyane will not be ousted in one day.
Yes again I will say, "one can not have his cake and eat it too".
Red sea focking bekit shabia...you can run your mouth behind screen...the blood of these patriotic Ethiopians is in your hand. You are insider. You want to defend that ignorant tirb tigrea shabia named fitsum. Sooner or later him and you will face justice..[deleted].

Blue Man Group has been shocking its audiences for years with live performances at theaters in New York, Boston, Chicago and Las Vegas. The act began touring in concert arenas during the summer of 2002 at the Area 2 Festival with Moby, David Bowie, Busta Rhymes and world-renowned DJs. This past summer, Blue Man Group embarked on a summer tour and filmed two sold-out shows on Aug. 12 and 13 at the NextStage Amphitheatre in Grand Prairie, Texas.
The national tour promoted "The Complex" album and an audience demand allowed for the Blue Man Group's first-ever concert DVD to be released Nov. 25, presenting highlights from the Grand Prairie shows and other features.
The central theme of "The Complex Rock Tour Live" DVD is a "blue" print of Blue Man Group's rock concert utopia. In the Blue Man world, the band's complex is a geometric and logical plan for bringing people together through music, using visuals of two-dimensional stick figures, unconventional uses of sounds and instruments and surprises that are completely unpredictable.
In addition to footage from the live concerts, the DVD includes music videos for "Sing Along" featuring Dave Matthews, "The Current" featuring Gavin Rossdale and "Exhibit 13," which serves as a chilling tribute to the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
The "Sing Along" video is visually clever, with morphing stick figures and exploding orange paint, but although the overall package of the music and images is appealing, the vocals seem repetitive and annoying. Including Gavin Rossdale in "The Current" video is interesting, and it adds a harder rock sound for Blue Man, cutting between one set of a futuristic technology office and a warehouse loft with piping, wiring and flashy lighting.
The DVD layout has a very clean look, similar to that of the iMac. The table of contents is a webbing of features that, when selected, changes the perspective of the "blue print" cityscape and enter a different window, door or sewer-opening depending on the selection.
As far as content, the live performance will keep viewers glued to the screen with a sensational collaboration of vibrant images and unusual sounds. In addition to special guest vocalists Venus Hum (on the energetic Donna Summer cover "I Feel Love") and Tracy Bonham, the show is comical, dramatic and highly interactive with audience members. Numerous cuts to audience reactions prove that this show is like none other.
Perhaps new viewers and fans without expectations make this art form a treasure of the Blue Man Group; it is the live entertainment experience of the MTV generation. With the success of theater and arena shows as well as two studio recordings prior to the DVD, Blue Man Group will open a show in Berlin in May 2004.

What to Expect on a Work Party
On a trail work party, you will work with crew leaders who are first aid and CPR certified and well trained to ensure a fun, safe work environment for the duration of the day.
Q. How old do I have to be to volunteer on a trail work party?
A. Youth ages 10 and up are encouraged to participate. If you are under 14 then you must have a parent accompany you on the work party. For children under 10, parents should call the office at (206) 625-1367 for further information. All youth under 18 must have a Parental Consent Form signed by parent or guardian.
Q. How much experience do I need
A. None. We work hard to teach our youth volunteers the joy of trail maintenance. We hope by investing our time in teaching you trail maintenance you'll come back and join us again. Our trail maintenance principles are as simple as 1-2-3: Be safe. Have fun. Get some work done.
Q. How many community service hours can I earn for volunteering?
A. WTA offers volunteers the chance to earn up to 8 community service hours for one day of volunteering.
Q. Do you still work in bad weather?
A. Yes - Rain or Shine! Unless you are notified otherwise, our crew leaders will be waiting for you at the trail head. If the bad weather continues throughout the day we may go home early.
Q. May I leave early? Arrive late?
A. Sorry, please come to a work party only if you can commit to a full day of volunteering (8:30am-3:30pm). If you can't spend the day with us, then please sign up for another work party.
Q. What is the latest date that I can sign up for a work party?
A. 48 hours. You may have noticed that each work party is automatically removed from the schedule 48 hours before the work party is scheduled to begin. This formula ensures that our crew leaders will have adequate time to pick up tools, purchase pop & cookies, and assess the work site based on the number of sign-ups at that time. If you would like to sign up for a trail work party at the last minute (or the day before), please call the office at (206) 625-1367 and we will determine if we can add another person to that particular work party.
Q. Can I bring my pets?
A. Sorry, please do not bring any pets. We have found that pets can be a significant distraction and in some rare cases a safety hazard.
Q. Can I bring a big group?
A. Yes. But if your group is larger than six people, please contact us to make special arrangements. Call the WTA office at (206) 625-1367 or email us at email@example.com.
Q. Should I bring my own tools?
A. No. WTA provides all the tools you need. The only tools of your own that you might consider bringing would be hand clippers or small folding saws. Please do NOT bring your own axes, machetes, etc. Our safety lecture includes a comprehensive discussion of the safe usage of each tool. We can not permit anyone to bring and use a tool not covered in our safety lecture.
Q. What else do I get for volunteering other than community service hours?
A. When you join a WTA work party that is on Forest Service land (indicated in the schedule under the column titled "Free Pass"), the Forest Service recognizes your efforts by giving you a free one-day recreation pass. A WTA crew leader will give you this pass at the beginning of the work party. When you collect two of these passes, you can mail them in to the WTA office and we will mail you an Annual Northwest Forest Pass. Please send your two green day passes and a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Washington Trails Association, 705 Second Ave, Suite 300, Seattle WA 98104 (206) 625-1367.
Q. How much experience do I need to sign up for a Youth Volunteer Vacation trip this summer?
A. WTA encourages youth to attend at least one day trail work party before signing up for a week-long Frontcountry Volunteer Vacation. However, if you would like to participate in an Advanced Backcountry Youth Volunteer Vacations you must have attended a Frontcountry Volunteer Vacation or have previous trail maintenance and camping experience. For more information on our Youth Volunteer Vacations program, click here.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) -- A six-person jury has ruled the shooting death of a man during a break-in at a Walla Walla store as a justifiable homicide by the store owner.
The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin reports that the jury ruled 4-2 Friday in favor of John Saul, owner of the New York Store Western Outfitters.
Saul sleeps in his store at night, and reportedly shot Cesar H. Chavira May 4 after the man broke into his store and stole belts and belt buckles.
Saul told investigators that Chavira had threatened him and he defended himself. Jurors heard testimony that Chavira had been shot in the back while in the middle of the street.
The jury's decision is not binding. The decision on whether to file charges rests with the Walla Walla County prosecutor.

Yeah that title does sound strange yet it is accurate. Ice Cream Sandwich is the name of Android's new operating system making its way to phones and tablets sometime this November. It promises to improve on an already great OS. Here are five of my favorite new features in Ice Cream Sandwich.
1. Android Beam: Like the iOS Bump It app, Beam will allow you to share apps, directions, videos, and more by tapping two Android 4.0 phones together. It's really as simple as that.
2. Data Management: On the surface this doesn't sound too exciting yet it could save you some money (to buy more apps) each month. The management system lets you set up alerts for when you're about to pass certain data levels and caps to avert those pesky monthly overage-fees. More useful than it sounded, right?
3. New Camera Functions: I have felt for a while now that phones will eventually replace the pocket camera. Face it, why carry two devices when one would be sufficient? Android 4.0 adds high-speed shooting to the mix and a photo editor with a number of cool features all its own. Shoot, edit, upload, all from a single device.
4. Screenshots: Taking a screenshot on an Android phone without having to get another app? What a novel idea! Ice Cream Sandwich lets you do this in a rather simple way. Hold down the power and the volume-down simultaneously and 'POOF' instant screenshot for later reference. We can all breathe a sigh of relief!
5. Contacts and Social Networking: Android 4.0 now displays your contacts as cards that are created from your social networking contacts. Cards can be added and updated manually if necessary and each card updates as your contacts change their social networking information.
Five really cool new features coming to you soon wrapped in an Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

In a 30 second hearing, senior Scottish judges ruled that decisions made by Scotland's temporary sheriffs for the past 22 years were not invalid. The court pledged to provide reasons for its decision later.It was claimed in the case that the use of temporary sheriffs contravened the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1971, which allows for the use of temporaries only in times of emergency.The temporary sheriffs have now been made redundant following an appeal court ruling that they contravene the European Convention on Human Rights, introduced in Scotland in May.

This week's topic is jewelery. Not my usually forte. But the new bezels and matching dies designed by Susan Lenart Kazmer for Spellbinders, do make it easy. I knew I wanted to create a pendant for Rebecca. We went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a few charms and went to work.
Spellbinders™ Paper Arts Supplies:
We started by picking paper we wanted to use as the back drop for the dragon and would look good in the MB1-006 Shields One Bezel. The second largest MD1-006 Shields One die was adhered with re-positionable adhesive over Basic Grey Serenade paper.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to create with your dies today! Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and smiles
I am so excited to share with all of you another feature that we have added to the Spellbinders website! It's called, "On the Road", which is our newest blog! It's for all the designers and me, to create a virtual post card that we can share with all of you, while we are traveling to the different events that we are attending.
How much fun is this going to be? It is designed so that you will feel like you are right there with all of us, as we continue not only exploring beyond in our crafting, but also exploring the world that carries our products!

Following one of the suggested starter activities, ask the students if they were doing science. How is what they did similar to what scientists do? Encourage a brief discussion. This can be followed by a direct introduction to the Science Flowchart. A suggested format is detailed in Introducing the Understanding Science Flowchart to middle school students, in which students compare their activities with the work of scientist, Walter Alvarez. They are introduced to the Science Flowchart and are provided the opportunity to trace Alvarez's scientific journey and then their own pathways.

AM I ADDICTED?? (A Test)
As a "Certified Addictions Life Coach" I have several tests available to me to help you answer the question. What I think is unimportant; all that matters is the conclusions you draw.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, I am quoting material from Jan Edward Williams which I completely support. While Jan specifically mentions alcohol, by and large that word is interchangeable with any addiction (drugs, gambling, sex, eating, and many more). Keep this in mind as you read through this material and answer questions honestly. Only you will know the results!
First of all, I commend you for making the decision to address your alcohol problem. By acknowledging that your drinking is causing you problems, you have broken through a lot of the denial that prevents people from getting help. Let me just define alcoholism for you. Many alcoholics do not drink every day and are not physically dependent on alcohol (will have cravings and withdrawal when they stop). It is sometimes not as important how often (frequency) a person drinks, as what happens when the person drinks. Not drinking for a month or longer, while commendable, merely means that you are not physically dependent on alcohol. Physical dependence is not required for a definition of alcoholism. A pattern of loss of control, blackouts, behaviour against values, and self-destructive behaviours, plus a high tolerance, strongly suggests that you may be one of those people who, though a periodic drinker and not physically dependent, may have to conclude that she is an alcoholic and that drinking is not a viable option. I do not have enough information (do you have a family history of alcohol problems?) to say that you cannot learn to moderate your drinking, but urge you to get a complete evaluation from an addictions professional, rather than look to find a program to moderate your drinking. There is a program for persons WHO ARE NOT ALCOHOLIC to help them moderate their drinking, but I hesitate giving you this information because from what you have said you may already be in the alcoholic category, as offensive as that idea may be. Good luck to you. . A common misconception is that in order for a person to have a problem with AOD, he or she must use every day, and must physically crave the substance. Often problem users drink or use other drugs only two-to-three times per week. The best question is not "Do I have to drink?", or, "Can I stop using marijuana during the week?", but, "Is my substance use causing me problems in important areas of my life?"
Here are some more danger signs.
Here are some specific Questions which explore how AOD use can harm an individual in significant life areas:
A "Yes" to any of these questions is cause for concern and indicates the person may be developing a harmful relationship with alcohol or other drugs.
Please feel free to contact me through this site, phone email or Skype for a no cost, no risk discussion.

JC you are just amazing - and I don't just mean the photography stuff, but you picked up competitive skating again! Congratulations and my hat off to you:-)
Sorry, that was meant to be CJ, NOT JC. My brain is fried from the 100 degrees we have here in Phoenix today:-)
Just so you know, I changed to my street name on the new forum. I'm still C.J. to
Thought ya'll might be interested in seeing one of my "genuine, honest-ta-gawd, real (fake) Tintypes"
Cool. Plus, ya gotta love folks who are always prepared to shoot somehing.
I've read a lot of posts on this site about tintypes, pseudo-tintypes, etc. Rockland emulsion, using Dektol to develop tintype, and all kinds of guesses on the process. Rockland is in no shape or form even close to tintypes. Dektol use would kinda blow the heck out of doing period photography, and probably would not be archivally safe on a tintype. Tintypes are wet-collodion process; collodion is poured, plate is dipped in silver nitrate, developed in iron sulfate, fixed in cyanide, hypo, or thiocyanate; finally varnished with lavender varnish (I don't think Rockland says anything about varnish). I think more trouble is being put into making a fake "tins" than doing it period correct. There are many wet platers around doing it. I would post a tintype, but I cannot figure out how.

Ty - if you use the "Post Reply" button (not the "Quick Reply" window, scroll down a ways from the message window. You'll see a "Manage Attachments" button, one of the options for which is to upload an image - either from an already online source or from your PC.
I am convinced that there is nothing that CJ can't accomplish. Got any interest in world peace?
Bringing this thread up to date:
Has ANYONE been successful using the Rockaloid emulsion IN A CAMERA to make tintypes/ambrotypes?
Robert, the concensus is that Rockland changed something along the way. I got good results way back in '94, but an attempt 2-3 years ago was a total waste of time. They used to supply a bag of unidentified powder for users to add to Dektol to make the "tintype developer", I think they supply a liquid dev now that probably has shelf-life issues?
