In my black and white world, you are either born with a creative gene or a practical gene – never both. Since my Excel-loving self was obviously born with the latter, I often feel inadequate when it comes to situations that require creativity. And decorating? It's at the very top of that list.
As much as I try to deny it, I have a bad habit of allowing myself to be swayed by others' opinions. You don't think my Z Gallerie artwork is unique enough? Okay, I'll take it down. You don't think dark brown is a good color for the den? Okay I'll go with a beige. You don't think my over-priced rug was worth it? Hmm? Really?
But then last week I realized that it's dumb to worry if people think my red throw pillow clashes with my blue one. And if I want a turquoise chair then I should buy a turquoise chair – even if it might not be what a decorator would choose.
This week I'm taking a big step: I'm going to purchase a 6′ X 9′ rug for my living room despite everyone telling me I should get an 8′ X 10.' Why? Well because at I'm 35-years-old and I should be able to pick a rug without needing another person's stamp of approval.
Right? Tell me I'm right.

Totally, trust your own judgement. Just relax, and ask yourself "what do I like, what do I want to see every day and surround myself with?"
*kisses* HH
p.s. i love that doll
September 13, 2011 2:08 am
Whatever you think, you are right! I go by my own logic and gut feeling! Oh that chair and that doll! C.U.T.E.
September 13, 2011 2:57 am
You are 120% correct! Go out there and get your rug girl!! 🙂
September 13, 2011 4:18 am
You should totally do what you want. I think? Right? That is what everyone else said, right?
I am just starting to do "what I want" in the past 18 months and I am 38. It is harder than you would think.
Buy the rug!!!!
September 13, 2011 5:36 am
Love the doll :)) x
September 13, 2011 6:00 am
That chair is beautiful and from the sounds of your deco selects they are quite lovely. Just go with your gut, decorating is about the self.
September 13, 2011 6:22 am
It's your house & it's your money, then it's your rule. Can we please have a peek at the rug once you get it? Yes I'm nosy 🙂
Your new turquoise chair is just fabulous!! I can't have any bright colors in my house (except the walls) as I have 2 boys!
September 13, 2011 6:28 am
I love the chair and it is your house so convention be damned, get the size rug you want. Following that inner voice about what you like is what gives a house it's personality.
September 13, 2011 6:37 am
For some reason, I imagine your choices being great no matter what others say. I think you should do whatever is right for you and makes you happy. Life is way to short to care about what everyone else thinks and wants for you – you do you!
September 13, 2011 6:37 am
Ooooh, I LOVE that turquoise chair!!!
September 13, 2011 7:17 am
Go for it. Just keep the receipt. lol And that chair is fantastic. Love the color and print!
September 13, 2011 7:17 am
I was definitely born with the practical gene too. The pictures on my walls aren't even level. 🙂
But, I do agree that you can buy whatever rug or chair you want. That's the joy of being a grown up.
September 13, 2011 8:30 am
Of course you are right. Style is all about PERSONAL taste…as in what YOU like, not others. Maya's doll rocks, by the way. Worth every cent.
September 13, 2011 9:06 am
I love the chair! And I think you should get what you want when it comes to a rug. You are the Queen and you are in charge!
September 13, 2011 9:37 am
LOVE LOVE LOVE the chair! If this is any indication, you have great design style.
September 13, 2011 12:40 pm
Love the chair. Lately, I've been loving turquoise. I seem to be drawn to turquoise paired with a warm dark-ish red or orange. Two opposites that compliment each other. I'm not a creative type either, but, I find that I try to remember what I'm drawn to and go from there. Opposites seem to make a good team, apparently.
September 13, 2011 12:52 pm
The doll isn't my thing, but LOVE the chair! I think of myself as a creative person, but am awful in interior decorating. I get there eventually, but it takes me years to even get a vision, let alone execute said vision. Congrats on a decision!
September 13, 2011 12:57 pm
Obviously you are right. And spot on the turquoise chair. Love it. Not so much on the cost of Maya's doll, but I am minding my own business 😉
September 13, 2011 1:19 pm
You are righ!! And no way that skinny doll should cost as much as that chair! I am lagging in the creativity dept too. I just don't have that "eye" and now that I have a house I really wish I did. I watch HGTV all the time hoping to get better!!
September 13, 2011 1:52 pm
Go for it with the rug!
You love excel? You should come guest teach my computer classes 😛 I have to teach my students to use the program and I must've used it all of 2 times in my life.
September 13, 2011 3:13 pm
I totally feel like i always want everyone to "love" what I get, even if I don't love it. The truth is, the pieces I take a risk on and only buy for myself are the ones people end up loving the most in the end. I say go for the rug you like, and if anyones looking for their business, Ain't none of it over here! 🙂
September 13, 2011 5:38 pm
When I decorate I never have a big picture in mind. I just place things here and there that I love and it all seems to work together. I love that chair. I think the personality of the home truly jumps out only when it is filled with true flair.
Erika permalinkSeptember 13, 2011 7:11 pm
Love that chair, really cute doll.
September 13, 2011 8:46 pm
Do your own thing! It is your space…so I say go with whatever size rug suits you best! Plus, I happen to think you are quite creative. You couldn't write so well if you weren't! Have a good week, love!
September 14, 2011 6:55 am
The other beautiful thing about buying a rug – if you decide that YOU don't like it, then YOU can get a bigger rug. Or a smaller one.
In the meantime, enjoy the chair AND the rug. Roll around on it!
September 14, 2011 8:14 am
You are so right.
I LOVE that chair.
September 14, 2011 9:37 am
You are right!
And Maya's doll looks great in your new chair. I hope she shares it with you 🙂
Leslie permalinkSeptember 14, 2011 5:54 pm
I'm awful. I keep typing a sexual innuendo joke, then erasing it. I give up…
If you a 6×9, then you should 6×9. I'm confident its the most popular one.
September 14, 2011 6:26 pm
Yes! You buy that 6×9 rug proudly and show it off to all your 9×10 loving friends. You'll be a trend setter!
September 14, 2011 6:28 pm
Well you had me at that blue chair. I think you should be able to buy a rug even if it's smaller than it's supposed to be. Who the hell makes these rules anyway??? I'm not creative when it comes to aesthetics. I always copy magazines and shows.
September 14, 2011 8:53 pm
It's your own living room so it's your own decision what kind of rug you want 😀 Sometimes I do get influenced by other's opinions as well but I'm slowly learning to use my own judgement 😉
September 15, 2011 8:06 am
I'm so offended. Maybe it's because I'm a whore for chocolate brown but what says "den" more than dark brown? Nothing is more den-esque. All these "rules" people have houses that look like each other. Where's the fun in that?
September 16, 2011 3:04 am
I just want you to know that my mom is here and we read back posts of yours together because I knew she would love your sense of humor. And she does.
Now on to that rug. I think you should get the 8×10 of course!
No, just kidding. I don't trust my own style either. I wanted to get one oriental rug and my husband wanted to get the one with the carrots. Actually, not carrots but cypress trees. He was right. I have no sense of style.
But I did decide to paint the kitchen pink all by myself and it looks great.
September 16, 2011 9:42 am
i would love to tell this to so many people!
when are you going to have a baby?
you should make your eat in kitchen a living room!
September 18, 2011 11:47 am
You're so right.
My main issue with decorating is I don't feel I have a personal style. I honestly wish I had money for a decorator and I would just get veto power and that would be that…period. It's my dream. I have the same issue with my wardrobe.

Hassan Whiteside had a meeting with Miami Heat president Pat Riely a couple of weeks ago, but the 27-year old center stated that joining the free agency is not about loyalty check as rumors are swirling that he is not keen in re-signing with the Heat and is looking for the "best situation" for himself.
Whiteside is an unrestricted free agent, who would be finishing his two-year contract with the Heat worth $1.75 million. Now that he is a free agent, he could start listening to offers from other teams, and the Heat have no choice but to lose him in free agency if he signs an offer sheet with a rival team.
ALSO READ: NBA Rumors: Can Pat Riley bring Kevin Durant to Miami Heat?
ESPN's Michael Wallace reports that Whiteside is not counting the Heat out of contention with his free agency decision come July 1. He stated that he is "open" as of the moment to listen to what teams have to offer him if he would move this summer.
Pending free agent Hassan Whiteside explains what factors will go into his big decision,… https://t.co/st7mTcTgH5 pic.twitter.com/cGPR4vc9DB
— Michael Wallace (@MyMikeCheck) June 26, 2016
"I really don't think it's about loyalty — I think it's just about [finding] the best situation for myself," Whiteside said Sunday. "I didn't say (Miami) wasn't the best situation, but we're going to see what happens. It's not like I'm really counting the Heat out or counting on another team. It's just open."
Hassan Whiteside: "I really don't think it's about loyalty. It's about the best situation for myself." https://t.co/kKRhEDI4cy
— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) June 26, 2016
With his statement, teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Golden State Warriors have been given hope that they could lay down their offer and possibly sign Whiteside to their respective rosters for next season. Whiteside added that he is hoping to be able to make the right decision come July 1 and considers other factors aside from the money offer.
"It's a toss-up; it's a lot of things that come into it," sWhiteside, who could command a starting salary of as much as $22 million next season after he earned $990,000 this past season, said.
"It's not one specific thing. It's like having a wife. You can't say one specific thing you like about her. You have to like her as a whole. I have to choose it all together, so all of the dots have to connect."
Whiteside is savoring how teams are after him, since "I was calling those teams."
— Ethan J. Skolnick (@EthanJSkolnick) June 26, 2016
ALSO READ: NBA Rumors: Hassan Whiteside, Mike Conley to sign with Dallas Mavericks in free agency?
Riley has stressed that re-signing Whiteside is a "priority" as they are still assessing if Chris Bosh would be able to return to active duty for next season. Adding to their financial woes is that the Heat has roughly $42 million to spend this free agency season wherein they have to accommodate Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng as well.
In his tenure with the Heat, Whiteside averages 14.2 points with 11.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game. Riley and the Heat are hoping that Whiteside would consider their offer and would return to their fold. That is, if other suitors, like the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, can't convince Whiteside to move to their teams this summer.

Recently, the Henan Provincial Leading and Characteristic Disciplines Construction Project Implementation Plan has been published by the Education Department and Finance Department of Henan Province with the release of the list of Leading and Characteristic Disciplines in the first phase. We have nine disciplines in this project, including two medical disciplines: Clinical Medicine First-level Discipline as Leading Discipline Class A and Tumor Prevention and Treatment as Characteristic Discipline Class A. According to the Henan Provincial Leading and Characteristic Discipline Construction Project Implementation Plan, the Finance Department of Henan Province will invest 3.1 billion (CNY) in two stages to underpin the construction of these Leading and Characteristic Disciplines to make them world-leading disciplines and national Characteristic Disciplines. In the period of 'the Thirteenth Five-year plan', our university will attach the greatest importance to the construction of our Leading and Characteristic Disciplines to establish national Leading Disciplines and Characteristic Disciplines of provincial and university level. In order to promote the implementation, supervision and appraisal of this project, all concerned parties are required to further clarify the direction of development, to recruit Distinguished Professors, set up research team and establish research institutes. Additionally, goals and tasks should be identified to be demand-oriented, focus-ensured, overseen from the top-down with proper budget allocation. Our university will coordinate all concerned departments and schools, plan the projects as a whole and integrate all funding and resources to construct and manage these Leading and Characteristic Disciplines to best advantage for both the Province and our Nation.

How can I create a Pipes project?
Our Pipes product is unlike our extractor and crawler. Pipes can control extractors and crawlers, and can retrieve external information from APIs and databases. Pipes do not extract information from Web sites as the crawler and extractor do. Rather, Pipes combine crawlers, extractors, APIs, and data sets to create a single workflow for data extraction and processing.
To create a Pipes project:
- Navigate to the Projects page.
- Click the New Robot button.
- Choose the Pipes option.
- Enter a name for the project.
- Click the Create New Robot button.
The Pipes editor opens to display a grid upon which nodes will be laid out with connectors between. The relationships between nodes represent the Pipes workflow.
Clicking on a node opens the node menu at the top of the page. Multiple nodes may be selected by Shift-clicking or by dragging a box to surround the nodes.
Clicking the Connect button will connect all selected nodes with the same name and type.
To add a node:
- Drag a node option from the Add Node menu on the right side of the screen.
- Enter a name for the node and configure any other options as appropriate.
There are many node types available to provide a comprehensive array of data processing possibilities. Here is a list of nodes under the dexi.io category, just to give you a taste of the possibilities you're about to discover with Pipes.
- Execute robot: Starts a crawler or extractor. A worker is required for Pipes, plus one worker for each robot executed from Pipes.
- Data type: A custom data type created by the account.
- For each row in data set: Iterates over each row in an existing data set.
- Save row to data set: Saves input to a data set at the node's output.
- Dictionary lookup: Uses a key to reference an existing dictionary for a value.

This took longer than I thought, but that was because I didn't realize how little quality content some of the pages had, nor did I realize that none of the individual waterfall pages in Iceland had maps!
Well after this round of auditing and making drastic improvements to each page, I'm proud to say that the Iceland pages are now in a shape that I'm pretty happy with (consistent with overhauled regions done already). That is, all pages now have maps, more up-to-date content (with better directions and more information), more photos, new videos, and dedicated commenting for each waterfall.
Next up in the overhaul will probably be either Africa, South Pacific, and/or the Caribbean.
After that, there will only be Latin America and Asia to do.

Glaucoma in Pets
Glaucoma is characterised by increased intraocular pressure in the eye, resulting in sight loss and pain. It is not only happening in old animals; young animals might be affected too! The balance between the production and drainage of the vitreous (The vitreous body is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball of humans and other vertebrates) is disturbed. There is too much liquid in the first eye chamber, causing an increased intraocular pressure. The regular eye pressure should be between 15 and 22 mm Hg. As a result of the high intraocular pressure, the nerve of the eye will get damaged. The increased pressure will also reduce the blood flow in the retina (at the back of the eye, crucial for eyesight), which may result in retina detachment. The nerve damage and retinal detachment will lead to sight loss and sometimes even blindness. In acute cases, the retinal detachment and sight loss can happen within 48 hours.
Clinically signs are traditionally divided in acute and chronic; in reality, most cases of acute glaucoma are superimposed on chronic glaucoma rather than occurring as singular events. Normally it has a gradual progress.
Classification of Glaucoma
– Primary Glaucoma; It is a hereditary disease. The following breeds are predisposed: American Cocker Spaniel, Basset Hound, Chow Chow, Labrador Retriever, Shar-Pei. Primary glaucomas also occur in cats, but rarely. DNA tests for dogs are available.
– Secondary Glaucoma; If another disease in the eye causes glaucoma. The reason can be a cataract, an infection in the eye or neoplasm (cancer). In cats, the most common cause of glaucoma is an inflammation in the eye or tumor.
Diagnose and treatment
Diagnostic procedures are critical to managing the glaucomas and include tonometry, ophthalmoscopy, and gonioscopy (done by an ophthalmologist with a special lens). In the daily practice, tonometers are used to estimate the intraocular pressure, which is reasonable consistent in most species. Ophthalmoscopy permits detection of damage to the eye. Gonioscopy is done by an ophthalmologist with a special lens and helps for the classification of glaucomas (primary or secondary) and determines the most appropriate medical and surgical treatment.
Most dogs with early onset or moderate chronic glaucoma will not visit the clinic as the signs are subtle: sluggish to slightly dilated pupils and the start of enlargement of the eye (buphthalmia). To detect glaucoma in its early phase, tonometry can be routinely performed on high-risk breeds of dogs as part of the annual check-up. Signs of glaucoma include dilation of the pupil, thickening of the small blood vessels of the eye globe, cloudiness of the eye (corneal oedema). Pain is manifested by behavioural changes (lethargic, less active, grumpy) and occasional pain around the eye rather than increased tear production. Glaucoma is known to be a very painful condition.
Glaucoma can be treated medically or surgically depending on the classification of glaucoma. The goal is to preserve the vision and to minimalize the pain, as glaucoma is known to be very painful. Different medication is available, eye drops, ointments, tablets, etc. The medical treatment is focused on:
– Decreasing the production of the vitreous
– Improvement of the drainage of the fluids
– Prevention of a secondary bacterial infection (with antibiotics)
– Pain relief.
Lowering the eye pressure with medical treatment is successful in most of the cases although might be disappointing in the long term and surgical treatment might be the only option left in that case. The prognosis of glaucoma is guarded. End-stage glaucoma with enlargement of the eye and blindness quite often results in enucleation (removal of the eye).

Cordovan leather comes from the shells (backside) of the horse. It has always been in short supply as a raw material and generally takes approximately six months to prepare. Add to this the fact that one horse can only provide enough leather for one pair of shoes and we begin to see how the higher cost is justified.
While these are all interesting tidbits of information, what you probably want to know is what qualities of this material should I be aware of before I spend all that money? Well, here are a few points that should be considered if you are thinking about a pair.
- Shell cordovan is denser, with tighter pores that other leather. This makes it better at repelling water.
- Cordovan is know for its longevity. It is said that a pair of cordovan shoes will 'outlive' the owner.
- Cordovan heats up more that other leathers. So probably not as comfortable for warmer temperatures (and warmer climates in general).
- Cordovan does not develop those fine crease lines like other leathers.
- Cordovan does not require much work to develop its characteristic shine which will only improve with time.
- Black cordovan shoes do not show off the nuances of the leather as well as the brown shades. (for example Alden's Cigar and Ravello).
- Wax paste is recommended over regular polish for cordovan shoes.
- The colour associated with the name cordovan is a rich shade of burgundy .
While the number of producers of shell cordovan can be counted on one hand, perhaps the best know is Chicago-based Horween who happens to be the tannery that produces the lion's share of this rare material (and has also done it for over 100 years).

I have been in love with dyeing fabrics for as long as I can remember. My first was very rustic and really cool. It was with Girl Scouts at one of our local campsites, we built a fire and tied up our tee shirts and dyed in a good old Rit hot water bath method. I don't have a crystal clear memory of that day but the outdoors and fire stuck with me.
Maybe that's one of the reasons I love having my indigo vat under the tree in my back yard. I don't know if it's an ideal location for everyone, but it keeps me from staining the patio floor or garage which makes for a happy family. Nostalgia and practicality aside this is one of my favorite creative endeavors.
It's like magic and chemistry at my fingertips – @Laurendurrdesig
I purchased all my supplies I from Dharma Trading Co. online. I had been lurking at the indigo options for some time and after a failed attempt at getting the powdered plant I kept for hair dying I felt it was time to go to the professionals. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nITmAdST42c]
They have a few options but I went with the pre-reduced crystals and followed their recipe on the website. I was ready to dye in about 30 minutes! I had a 5 gal paint bucket and a dollar store drip bucket ready to go, but I had to wait on my fabrics to be washed and ready.
There are other recipes of indigo vats but they all contain:
A Reducing Agent
A Base
I haven't tried the fermentation method found here at Aurora Silks and here a complete list of types, recipes and techniques from the botanist and dye chemist Michel Garcia with Maiwa Handprints Ltd. a very useful reference.
When the dye vat looks dark blue like that it needs to be reduced with a little thiourea dioxide this can take a few minutes out of your dye time but not days like the fermentation vats. I keep a quart mason jar to mix the thiourea dioxide with hot water before adding to the vat. Using the pre reduced indigo made the first foray into indigo dying go quickly and smoothly. I was able to dye vintage linen handkerchiefs, swatches of linen, silk scarves and a pair of shorts before needing to reduce the vat and wait.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YftNw_m_g5c]
My process went as follows:
- Scour your fabric: you can hot water wash your fabric with a free and clear detergent or boil it on the stove with a detergent like the blue Dawn.
- Tie, wrap, fold and bind the fabric as you like (I used marbles, rubber bands, wood shapes and cloths pins to create white areas).
- Wet out (soak the fabric in water) and gently wring out excess.
- Remove the indigo flower with a small bowl (it could cause unwanted spotting) and set aside.
- Gently add your fibers/fabrics (no splashing, dropping or swishing all these things could add air/oxygen and we don't want that) you can weight down your items or gently massage them under the surface for 1-2minutes.
- Gently remove your items, you can lightly squeeze out the excess dye near the surface or wring out into a drip bucket that you pour back into your vat.
- Let the item oxidize for 20-30 minutes, keep it bound if you plan for a darker color.
- For darker blues repeat steps 5 thru 7 till the item is two to three times darker than what you would like your finished project to look.
- Once your color is where you like unwrap your items and rinse in water
- I have practiced two methods at this point with little difference:
- Heat set in the cloths dryer or with iron
- Wash with free and clear (or Synthrapol) cloths detergent and dry according to fiber needs.
I have really enjoyed using the pre reduced indigo but want to try a fermentation vat in the future. I hope you find as much join in turning things blue as I have!

Chatting Up Poetry
Sound Installation
The Attnang-Puchheim Railway Station became a stage through interventions in the central PA system. Those waiting became the audience for scripted declarations of love. The content of the announcements is based on SMS messages as exchanged by young lovers. Chatting up via SMS simply shifts to other media: verbal instead of written, loudspeakers instead of mobile phone. The public can listen to rituals of everyday romance.

If you have done like me and got the cheapest laptop available because all you do with it is surfing and programming, this hack is for you.
Like expected when buying a cheap laptop, parts of it are not as good quality as higher end models. For instance, the touchpad on my Toshiba actually gives me sore fingertips after a couple of hours of use. So I started looking for a wireless USB mouse, and I soon realized how much I was missing built-in bluetooth capability on my laptop so I wouldn't have to use one of my two USB ports and have to carry around the USB dongle. So here comes the trick.
Please note that most computers are different from each other and this post is only meant as a guide for those trying to do a similar hack on their laptop.
First, order the parts you need. I went on goodluckbuy.com (because they're cheap and shipping is free) and bought the absolute cheapest USB hub and mini bluetooth dongle for the total of $6. The idea is to take them apart so they take up as small space as possible, then solder them to one of my two USB connectors pins. You need to separate the dongle from the USB connector with a hub or else the USB port on your laptop is not available to other devices! I also bought the cheapest bluetooth mouse so I could start testing, then maybe later upgrade if I was not satisfied with its performance. Remember to test all devices before taking them apart! Please read through the whole guide before you start modifying your own laptop.
Here is the delivery, and some pictures from taking them apart.
The USB hub with its casing taken off.
The casing only came easily off on one side of the bluetooth dongle, so I clipped the plastic edges with a small wire cutter.
Now it's time to solder the wires from the hub onto the bluetooth dongle which metal casing has to be opened with some small side cutter plier or similar.
Use a multimeter beforehand to identify which wire color goes where if uncertain. Look at a USB connector from the top, it is
Red – +5v
Black – Ground
The USB hub has 4 of each colored wires on the device side. Pick any red and black, and then a green and a white that must be a pair right next to each other, starting with white from the bottom. Apply solder to both the tabs at the dongle and at the stripped wire ends on the hub before soldering, it will make the job much easier as the thin wires are very fragile.
Verify that your setup is still working.
Now disassemble your laptop by removing all screws on the underside, carefully sorting the different lengths and types as seen on the picture. Mine were marked on the laptop casing next to each screw, so that made the job much easier. Be sure to remove the battery, there are most probably some screws hidden under it just like under the lid for the RAM and hard drive. Keep the battery removed until you re-assemble the laptop!
Turn the laptop right side up and lift the screen cover all the way back. Gently pry open the casing starting in one corner. If you haven't had any experience with this before, or loves your computers aestethics, consider buying a special prying tool specifically for this purpose to not leave marks on the edges. Identify one USB connector and its 4 pins.
Apply solder to all 4 pins. Now cut the male USB connector on the laptop side of the hub and slide back the black rubber insulation as earlier, leaving as much wire length as possible so it's easier to position your setup inside the laptop afterwards. Apply solder to the wire ends, then solder them in the right order directly to the pins on the USB connector in the laptop like shown. Use electrical tape around both the dongle and the hub to be sure not to short circuit anything when installing the device and closing the laptop case. Also use electrical tape to insulate exposed wires on the laptop printed circuit board.
Position your device carefully somewhere with enough space under the cover of your laptop, and reverse the deconstruction part. You're done!
When firing up your laptop again, you should see something similar to these devices in Windows device manager
After pairing your laptop with the bluetooth mouse.

Heists launched on March 10th, 2015 on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4. Heists is also expected to be available day one of the PC release on April 14th, 2015.
Heists will bring a brand new 4-player cooperative gameplay experience to GTA Online, giving players the chance to team up to pull off a string of intense, multi-part raids and robberies across Los Santos and Blaine County. Over the next couple weeks, we will have more information about the launch of Heists and about other new features that will be released with it.
On December 16, 2014, Rockstar released a teaser trailer depicting many aspects of the long-promised GTA Online Heists. The same day, in an interview with IGN, Rockstar's Imran Sawrar revealed a number of details about the new class of upcoming mission.
GTA Online Heists will launch with five multiplayer Heists, each of these will include tangential missions which must be simultaneously or subsequently accomplished by cooperating crew members. All Heists will require teamwork, and some will allow players to split up into smaller groups and then join back together to accomplish certain larger tasks.
Early preview material depicts Heists sections related to a prison break, fighters scrambling an aircraft carrier, a yacht pursued by jetskis and an assault helicopter, parachuting attackers, and other epic scenes.
Players interact with characters from GTA 5 Story Missions during Online Heists, including Lester.
Heist planning requires a high end apartment Property in GTA Online, as well as a leader who serves as organizer and a team of crooks to serve different mission roles. The planner risks some cash to front the initial expenses for the mission, but also earns the biggest payout on successful completion.
The five GTA 5 single-player Heists are The Jewel Store Job, The Merryweather Heist, The Paleto Score, The Bureau Raid and The Big Score.
Single player Heists are planned by Lester, with the player character making the important choices about Mission approach and Crew composition.
Heists are also promised for GTA Online, set release date is March 10, 2015. Online Heists are expected to allow Crews or groups of only friends to coordinate together and fulfill the multiple stages of a Heist through cooperation and coordination. Rockstar has confirmed that Heists will allow players to work together to accomplish the goals and will include in-game planning boards similar in style to those created by Lester in GTA 5.

Kangana Ranaut just can't steal herself away from courting controversies. After hitting headlines for her spat with Hrithik Roshan, she is now in the news for her differences with Karan Johar. Her episode on Koffee With Karan was explosive, to say the least. She didn't hold herself back while making those statements because that's what she felt. She didn't have to please anyone there. Karan too took all the firing with grace because he is the host of the show. We knew pretty well after watching it, that the Queen actress will never be invited on the show again. But these statements of the actress have turned into a feud after Karan called Kangana out for playing the woman and victim card. The actress spoke to Mumbai Mirror at length talking about the filmmaker's remark. We tried to read between the lines of what she said in this interview and this is what we figured out:
"I can't speak for Karan Johar's understanding of nepotism. If he thinks that it is restricted to nephews, daughters and cousins, I have nothing to say. But, to say that he chose not to give me work is to mock an artist. As importantly, his memory appears to be poor because we worked together in a movie (Ungli), which was produced by him. And quickly realised our sensibilities did not match."
Kangana is clear why she doesn't want to work with him. Karan might have had the power to reject her earlier, but now she chooses not to work with him. But then, if it's that clear, why cry about nepotism? The fact that the director had considered her for a film, proves that despite having reservations against her, Karan did cast her. It's not a favour but the acceptance that she deserved the role in Ungli.
"I'm also at a loss to understand how he gave me a platform by inviting me to be on his show. (Johar had said that he gave Ranaut a platform to "give it off to Karan".) I've been on several platforms before with several global icons. To say he helped me voice my opinions is to discredit me as an artist and a public personality. And, I think, it should be added here that I was invited to be a part of the show in its fifth season. (Johar's talk show made its debut in 2004). His team requested my team for months for my dates."
Kangana has totally nailed it here. Koffee With Karan is a show where the actors come as guests and say things they wouldn't otherwise at times. But then Ranveer Singh and Karan himself have said not to take it seriously. So our point is Karan, if your show is that frivolous, what good a platform is it for her to voice her opinions? Second, Kangana has always been brazen with her statements. She wasn't talking about the industry for the first time.
"But what is pertinent here is: why is Karan Johar trying to shame a woman for being a woman? What is this about the 'woman card' and the 'victim card'? This kind of talk is demeaning to all women, particularly the vulnerable because they are the ones who really need to use them. The 'woman card' might not help you become a Wimbledon champ, or win you Olympic medals, or bag National awards. It might not even land you a job, but it can get a pregnant woman who feels her water is about to break a 'ladies' seat on a crowded bus. It can be used as a cry for help when you sense a threat. The same goes for the 'victim card', which women like my sister, Rangoli, who is a victim of an acid attack, can use while fighting for justice in court."
Yes, what is this woman's card? A valid point that Kangana has picked up. She even gave examples about how such a thing doesn't exist and if it does, we should seriously start feeling sorry for being a woman. In so many words, she explained to Karan how there is nothing like a woman's card which can help females earn medals. One has to earn those! Her explanation about victim card proves women don't choose to be victims… her sister definitely didn't want to attacked by acid. Also, Kangana hasn't played the victim card we feel, she just narrated what she went through during her struggling days. She had even lauded Aditya Chopra for acknowledging her talent after dismissing her initially. That's called narrating a story, not playing the victim card.
"I use every card possible. At the workplace, it's the badass card to fight cutthroat competition. With my family and loved ones, it's the love card. When fighting the world, it's the dignity card, and for a seat on a bus, it's the woman card. What is important to understand is that we are not fighting people, we are fighting a mentality. I am not fighting Karan Johar, I am fighting male chauvinism."
This is why we love Kangana. She isn't a victim at all but truly a warrior. Karan accused her of playing the victim card way too much and so she decided to tell him, where all she is using what kind of cards. Definitely Saucy and Sassy!
"Now that Karan is the father of a little daughter (Johar became a single parent of twins, who were born through surrogacy last month), he should provide her with all these cards — the 'woman card' and the 'victim card', as also the 'self-made-independent-woman card', and the 'badass card' that I flashed on his show. We will use whatever we need to ensure no one rocks our boat."
Ouch! That will sting and sting badly. We won't be surprised if Karan hits back at her for dragging his kids into it. But then can you rubbish what Kangana said here? After all, the director now has a daughter who might need that 'Woman' card too. Touche!
"I'm also a little surprised at the "graciousness," he says he displayed in choosing to not edit my bits on the show. While I'd have blacklisted the channel if something like that had happened, let's also remember that a channel wants TRPs, and he is just a paid host."
Although we agree it was really gallant of Karan Johar to keep all those portions of her dissing him on the show intact, we have to side with Kangana on this. After all, it's a show which runs on TRPs. But the actress does agree, had she been in Karan's shoes, she would have barred the channel. Karan, however, didn't, which means he is a sport.
"Also, the Indian film industry is not a small studio given to Karan by his father when he was in his early 20s. That is just a small molecule. The industry belongs to every Indian and is highly recommended for outsiders like me whose parents were too poor to give me a formal training. I learnt on the job and got paid for it, using the money to educate myself in New York. He is nobody to tell me to leave it. I'm definitely not going anywhere, Mr Johar."
Kangana is a self-made woman. She is at a commanding position now based on sheer talent and by working with directors like Aanand L Rai who spotted the talent in her. No wonder she doesn't feel threatened by Karan's 'Leave Bollywood' comment. But Karan is also the reason Dharma Productions has become so huge. In fact, today it has earned the distinction of dolling out more hits in a year by being an intelligent studio which knows where to invest what kind of money. That the filmmaker built on his own… So while we totally agree with Kangana making it on her own, Karan too made Dharma a formidable force in the industry. You can't take that away from him, Kangana!

'Bachelor: After The Final Rose': Whitney Bischoff Wows In Silver Mini
Talk about a breathtaking dress! Whitney changed in her gowns for quite the mini dress on 'The Bachelor' after show, 'After The Final Rose' — and we totally were obsessed with how amazing it looked on her.
Warning: spoilers ahead! We can tell you two things about The Bachelor: After the Final Rose! Both finalists Becca Tilley and Whitney Bischoff both looked absolutely gorgeous, and both rocked mini dresses! While Becca donned a fuchsia lace dress, Whitney went with silver and gold sparkles in Endless Rose!
Whitney Bischoff's 'Bachelor: After The Final Rose' Dress
When Whitney came out to reunite with her new fiancé, she ran into his arms — but not before we got a look at that super sexy dress! It was long sleeved but super shirt and a perfect amount of glitter and lace.
Let me first rewind a little bit! On the season finale of The Bachelor, both women looked absolutely stunning when heading to the final rose ceremony. However, while they both wore gowns — Becca in a long-sleeved red velvet gown, and Whitney in a long-sleeved off the shoulder black gown — they traded them in for long-sleeved short dresses.
Whitney So In Love
We have to say, Whitney's was the perfect for the winner! Her body looked absolutely incredible in it. It definitely went good with that huge new ring on her finger too! Chris of course, got that from Neil Lane, and he may not have known 100 % until that moment that he wanted to pick Whitney, but she always did — she couldn't stop saying "I love you" during the finale.
But hey, they seemed happier than ever on After the Final Rose, so who could ask for anything else? Plus, they said they're already making love "as much as possible" and want to make babies! Well, maybe a wedding first? But we'll take both!
What did you think of her dress, HollywoodLifers?

I hope you're Prepared to live out another childhood fantasy, as ILMxLab, Lucasfilm's immersive-entertainment division, have revealed that their VR Star Wars experience is coming to Steam VR for free this Monday.
Although don't get too excited just yet, as little is known about Star Wars: Trials On Tatooine other than it's more of a little showcase/experiment – similar to Nvidia's Funhouse – rather than anything resembling a full game. Although given the $0 price tag and the words 'Star Wars' in the title, it could be 5 seconds long and you wouldn't find us complaining. Most importantly however what is known is that you will be able to use your Vive controller for it's destined purpose; being a lightsaber.
For those who can't be bothered to watch, the trailer shows the millennium falcon coming in to land in the desert, before coming under fire from enemy Tie Fighters and then stormtroopers. Luckily though R2D2 is on hand to provide the player with their trusty lightsaber, which is used to promptly deflect the unsurprisingly ineffective storm trooper blasts.
While Trials on Tatooine has been known about for some months, it was believed to be an underground project for something bigger down the line. Luckily for us all though ILMxLab have decided to release it to us mere mortals for free. The game will be available to play for HTC Vive users currently, but with the impending release of the Oculus Touch, it will most likely be playable for Oculus users as well, seeing as it is not pegged as any kind of exclusive.
If this isn't enough to satisfy your urge for VR Star Wars, then you'll also be excited to know that ILMxLab has also announced another VR experience centered around everyone's favourite youngling murdering psychopath, Darth Vader! It's awesome to see that VR is being used by huge filmmaking companies like Lucasfilm, as who knows where the future of movies lies with the use of VR. Very exciting times ahead indeed.

Visa Cancellation
Even though you may have been granted a visa overseas, the immigration officers at the UK airports have the authority to check and cancel your visa. They have the authority to cancel the visa if they are satisfied that the circumstances of your application has changed or your intention of entering UK is for some other purposes other than what was originally declared at the time of the application. In most cases the immigration officers can cancel your visa and deny entry to the UK at the port.
A visa cancellation can prejudice your future visa applications. If the Immigration Officers have refused your entry on the basis of deception or false declarations this can lead to an automatic ban of 10 years.
We are experts in dealing with these types of cases and in most cases we are able to achieve some sort of remedy for our clients. In airport detention cases your timing is important as the UK Border Agency officers will try to send you back in 24 hours or in the next available flight if they don't receive any intention to challenge the decisions. So if you have visa problems at the airports, act fast or you will be on your way back without setting your foot outside the UK airport.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss a legal matter we would be happy to arrange a call back when it is convenient for you. Please complete the form below and a member of our dedicated team will call you back.

In our previous play of the week we showed how effective our first cutter was in our "Chin" offensive set. This week we focus on what happens when the defense takes away our first cutter to the rim.
The next option in our offense is to look at the player using the step back screen. This action brings the offensive player back to the top of the key off of a screen after they fake a basket cut. When that offensive player catches the ball near the top of the key they have a few options. In this video we show Thea Lemberger passing hi-lo to the post, then penetrating for a floater, then hitting a 3pter. Thea does a great job of creating the catch, reading the defense, and finishing the play!

How can one know she has a loose vagina, or you are a guy want to know if your wife vagina has become loose over the years, Is not good you presume. Testing things out is best and this simple finger check or Kelgel ball test can do the magic and give you the exact state of your vaginal muscles.
You can determine vaginal looseness by doing the finger check or the kegel ball test. For the finger check test you need to slide your index finger into the vagina and see if you can feel it. Then two fingers (index and middle) to gauge tightness as compared to 1 finger. If you can slide in three fingers (middle, index and ring finger hold together) and can't feel much, than most probably the vagina is a bit loose.

Leber Ortho - Central

Leber Ortho - Rita Ranch

June 2
Sometimes we see a patient whose upper jaw, or arch, is more narrow than his lower one. This condition causes the upper molars and premolars to fit slightly inside the lower ones. Over time, the teeth can wear into an uncomfortable bite. You're probably wondering just how that can be corrected. Well let me tell you all about it.
When the upper arch is too narrow there is a way to widen it. We use an appliance called a rapid palatal expander, or RPE for short. Our skulls are made of all sorts of 'plates' that join together like a jigsaw puzzle. These joints are called sutures. When we are young, the sutures are held together with cartilage allowing them to expand as we grow. We have one of those sutures in the palate of our mouths. If you rub your tongue on the roof of your mouth you can feel the slight ridge of it. (Go on, you know you want to!)
When we need to help the upper arch to widen a bit quicker to keep up with the lower arch we use the RPE. This device is made up of two metal bands, which have been fitted to the upper molar teeth, and are attached to a screw. The appliance is glued to the teeth and the screw is turned about a quarter millimeter once or twice a day. This opening of the screw puts pressure on the suture to stretch the cartilage open. When the upper arch is expanded a little past the optimal bite relationship we hold everything steady for about six months to allow the cartilage to fill in. Our patients are a little surprised by the rather large gap they get between their front teeth. Fortunately, teeth like to touch each other so they drift back together a little which makes the gap far less noticeable.
Widening with a palatal expander has to be done while the cartilage is still soft and pliable. It works best on children aged five to fifteen. By around age sixteen the head is finishing its growth stage and the cartilage starts to harden into bone.
You may think this sounds pretty painful but it really isn't. Most of our patients tell us they feel a little pressure and tingling in their noses and cheeks for a few minutes after the screw has been turned. This happens mostly in the first week. Once the cartilage relaxes it opens more easily. We've found that turning the screw right after dinner works well. I, personally, like to add in a cold treat like ice cream or a popsicle for extra comfort.
Now, about turning that screw... who does that? The idea of coming into the office everyday probably isn't workable. The easiest solution is for us to show you how to do it yourself. We promise to walk you through the procedure until you're comfortable. Your first turn alone might be a little scary but you'll be a pro in no time!
June 2
The other day one of our parents asked me why we don't use headgear anymore. We got into a fun conversation about how many of our junior high school friends had metal sticking out of their mouths and straps wrapped around their necks. We call that 'The Dark Ages of Orthodontics.' Braces have come a long way since then and one of our favorite innovations is the Carriere Distalizer.
In the good old days, when a patient had a large overbite, the Orthodontist would prescribe a metal bow with an adjustable neck strap which the patient would wear to move his upper molars toward the back of his mouth. This contraption, although effective, was bulky and embarrassing to be seen in! Who wanted to go to a sleep over and take their head gear with them? Imagine having to wear it to school!
Fortunately for this young generation, a brilliant Orthodontist by the name of Luis Carriere developed a system using a small bar, bonded to the upper molar and canine and powered by elastic wear, to move those molars back. Voila! The external headgear has been replaced with an internal one!
We have had great success with this new method mainly due to patient compliance. It's so much easier to put an elastic band on than to strap yourself into an uncomfortable headgear. The best part of all is how quickly it works when the patient is really conscientious about elastic wear.
Headgear isn't totally obsolete just yet. We do have a type of headgear that we use for a less common problem. Some patients have an under bite, which is a condition where the lower jaw has grown faster than the upper one. This leaves the lower teeth on the outside of the upper teeth- not a good situation! When we need to treat this condition in a younger child, Dr Eric prescribes a headgear that fits the front of the face and uses elastic bands to bring the upper jaw forward. It's not fun to wear, but it sure does a good job correcting that type of bite.

In this blogpost I want to mention a more serious topic … I want to talk about a project, which is really important to me. It's called "donate a smile" by Wrigley's extra in cooperation with the SOS-Kinderdorf e.V.. The renowned photographer Peter Badge presents his touching pictures of smiling children in three exclusive exhibitions to support the project and furthermore there will be a limited calendar with the photos.
But I'm reaching out to all of you, because everyone of us can help to protect children's smile all around the world! Obviously a great smile also comes from healthy teeth. So Wrigley's extra started this project! As you probably know a sugar-free bubblegum can be a great option in case you don't have a toothbrush ready, but now you can not only do yourself a favor! Until the end of June, from every sold extra gum pack 1 cent will be donated to the nationwide facilities of the SOS-Kinderdorf e.V to provide dental care and hygiene. From the special packages, which will be available in the middle of May, Wrigley's will actually donate 10 cents, so watch out for these ones when you go grocery shopping. The overall goal is to gather at least 300.000 € with the project. So let's help to provide dental care for children all around the world!
