Moldova's Constitutional Court endorsed on October 31 a proposal made by a group of MPs to change the official language name to Romanian from Moldovan.
Romanian and Moldovan are essentially the same language though with some small regional variations. However, the naming of the language is a hot political topic in Moldova; calling the language "Romanian" is favoured by those who want closer relations or even unification with Romania, while pro-Russians such as President Igor Dodon want to keep the name "Moldovan".
On October 13, 34 MPs decided to send to the Constitutional Court a bill envisaging a change to article 13 of the constitution stipulating that the state's official language is Romanian rather than Moldovan. The move was initiated by the Moldovan Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM).
"Analysing the draft constitutional bill, the court noted that this is aimed at revising the Constitution by amending article 13, namely by replacing the text "Moldovan language, based on Latin script" with the text "Romanian language"," the court said.
Back in October 2013, the Constitutional Court ruled that Moldova's Declaration of Independence, in which the Romanian language is mentioned, prevails over the text of the Constitution.
"The court has noted that the initiative to amend article 13 of the Constitution does not represent an ordinary initiative to amend the Constitution, but a technical one which results from the obligation to enforce a Constitutional Court's ruling, namely the Decision no.36 from December 2013," the court said on October 31.
The amendment to the constitution is expected to be debated in parliament from April next year, according to Radio Free Europe.
The ruling goes against Dodon's recently efforts to strengthen relations with Russia. Shortly after taking office, he changed the name of the language on the presidency's website from Romanian to Moldovan, with users now being able to choose from Moldovan, Russian and English. In March, he said the study of the Russian language should be compulsory in Moldovan school.
On the other hand, there some Moldovan politicians are advocating for reunion with Romania. However, polls have shown that the percentage of the population wanting a reunion with Romania stands below 25%.
Dodon reacted to the court's decision saying that he considers "unacceptable and unlawful the attempts to legalise the Romanian language as Moldova's official language." Dodon wrote on Facebook that a referendum should be organised to ask citizens what name they prefer.
On the other hand, Dodon has recently extended an olive branch to Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, inviting him to visit Moldova, Dodon wrote on Facebook on October 30.
"I consider that there should be responsible and constructive dialogue between the presidents of Romania and Moldova," Dodon wrote. "I am sure that only through repeated discussions the difficulties which come up sometimes between states or institutions can be overcome," he added.

Most people are used to use different kinds of antibiotics and drugs, instead of turning to the natural side and try some natural remedies. Here we present an amazing remedies whose beneficial properties are due to its drug-ingredients, such as honey and turmeric. It's name is golden mixture, because it has golden color, and can be easily prepared with the following ingredients:
– 1 tablespoon of turmeric
– 100 grams of honey
– 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon of grated lemon peel
– a pinch of black pepper
First take a bowl and put the turmeric, the black pepper and the apple cider vinegar in it. Then mix well. Add the lemon peel and at the end, add the honey. Stir well until you get a homogeneous preparation. Transfer the mixture into a glass jar and place it in the fridge.
It is preferable in the first 2 days to eat 1 teaspoon every hour, especially if you have a cold or another infection in the body. While the third and fourth day you must eat 1 teaspoon every two hours. After the fourth day, eat half a teaspoon three times a day. Continue this treatment until you get rid of the symptoms.
If you want to improve your overall health and strengthen the immunity you should take one tablespoon every day. Consume this remedy in the morning because in this way you will fully benefit from its miraculous effects.
It is important to place the remedy in your mouth and wait until it completely melts. After swallowing, wait a few minutes before drinking any beverage. You can also spread the mixture on a piece of bread and you can eat it for breakfast, it is a delicious way of doing it. You can add it in tea, but make sure the tea isn't hot because the mixture will lose its properties, which without them will have no effect.

Something's Wrong
I stagger from the bed to the desk and let out a heavy sigh, pulling open the drawer and staring at the MRI scans for what must be the millionth time this week. I don't really know what they mean just by looking but the doctor explained it pretty thoroughly. No brain should look like that.
I flip through a few of the earlier scans. The first image of my brain was taken a few weeks after our honeymoon; when I had my first seizure, when we first realised that something was wrong.
It is striking how different the two scans are. My grandma's turning one hundred this week but she's still in better shape than me.
I shiver slightly and don't need to look down to know that my hand is trembling.
"Clara honey, are you ready?"
I start at Terry's voice, drop the scans back into the drawer and shut it quickly before resuming my usual glum stare into the distance. I reach for a pencil so I can at least pretend to look busy but my hand droops and drops to my side instead. I let out a soft groan; all I want to do is to go back to bed but that's not really an option.
I hear Terry's footsteps approach our bedroom and feel his arms around me in a matter of seconds, anchoring me to him. I close my eyes briefly, trying to preserve the moment in my damaged mind. I doubt I have many moments like this left.
"Is it bad?" he asks.
"It'll pass," I sigh.
"I'll take that as a yes."
I sway slightly, feel his grip tighten and know what he's going to say next.
"You know, we don't have to go if you -"
"Yes we do," I reply.
His arms loosen enough for me to gingerly turn and smile at him.
"How often does someone turn one hundred?" I remind.
Terry's eyes are sad but he chuckles nonetheless. We're going and there's no question about it. The woman practically raised me. She was the one that he had to win over when we began dating.
"Just promise me you'll say if you start feeling worse?"
"I promise," I answer, my eyes closing briefly as he presses his lips to mine.
"Do you want the chair?" he asks, pulling away with a frown.
"I don't need it yet," I reply as he takes my hand.
"We'll bring it just in case."
Terry's smiling as he gently draws me to him but he's looking at me in that worried, calculating fashion of his. He knows that I'm drawing strength from his bodyweight a little too heavily. I'm hurting more than I let on but he also knows not to state the obvious by this point. I force a smile through gritted teeth.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go."

Steamboat's Winter Carnival a huge success
Winter Sports Club sells 1,000 more buttons than last year
February 8, 2010
Steamboat Springs — Spectators lined Lincoln Avenue in downtown Steamboat Springs on Sunday morning for the street events during the 97th Winter Carnival.
The 83rd Diamond Hitch Parade, a tradition that began in 1927 with the Ladies Recreation Club, followed the morning's street events that included ring and spear, an obstacle course, street slalom, 25-yard dog dash, donkey jump and shovel race.
The Steamboat Springs High School Ski Band, followed closely by the Winter Carnival Royalty and Ambassadors, led the parade that featured more than 20 community groups pulled down Lincoln Avenue by horse, tractor, truck or in one case, a 1940s-era Sno-Cat.
"I just think it's one of the greatest events in America because it's homespun and lasted for 97 years without any outside influences," said resident Luther Brentson, who has attended every Winter Carnival since moving to Steamboat full time in 1996. "I think it's great. I can't wait for the 100th."
Seven members of the Daughenbaugh family were some of the many on hand for the parade, including Marsha and Doc Daughenbaugh's 4- and 6-year-old grandchildren, fifth-generation Routt County residents.

Marsha Daughenbaugh said the parade and Winter Carnival long have been a part of her family. She said in her 56 years living in the county, she's probably missed only two or three Winter Carnivals.
"We love coming down and being a part of it," she said. "It's too good to miss. … It's a tradition. It's a community thing people have the opportunity to do and enjoy."
But not all families in attendance Sunday were Winter Carnival veterans.
Ryan and Maura Martin, and their daughters, Honora, 2, and Clare Rose, 1, were visiting friends in Steamboat Springs this weekend from Broomfield and experiencing the Winter Carnival for the first time.
"It was great. It was fun," Ryan Martin said. "It's so cool that a ski town could bring people together for a good time."
Ryan Martin said Honora especially loved Saturday's Night Extravaganza at Howelsen Hill. He said she went crazy seeing the Lighted Man and the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club torch parade. But the evening fireworks display was a bit scary for Honora at times, Martin said.
Winter Sports Club Executive Director Rick DeVos said this year's Winter Carnival, a fundraiser to support the club's 1,100 athletes and 130 coaches, raised an estimated $30,000.
He said the Winter Sports Club sold about 8,000 buttons, up about 1,000 from last year. DeVos said the athletes' dues cover about 65 percent of the cost to operate the club, and fundraisers such as Winter Carnival help make up the difference.
Although the Winter Sports Club organizes many of the Winter Carnival festivities, it wouldn't be possible without the cooperation of the city of Steamboat Springs and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., DeVos said.
"It's just been one of the best ever," he said. "There's been a real excitement in town this week."
This year's Winter Carnival concluded with a parent-child downhill event at Howelsen. Parents and their children strapped on their skis to participate in the noncompetitive event.
Steamboat resident Brock Webster and his son, 5-year-old Olin, were taking part in the afternoon event for the first time.
"We've been coming to the Winter Carnival since he was born," Webster said.
"We just got him skiing."

Tamar Braxton Says New Album Reflects 'Inner Spirit' Following Much Brokenness (Video)
Singer and TV personality Tamar Braxton recently revealed that her much-anticipated album, Bluebird of Happiness, is about where she is now in her journey after much brokenness.
After two years, Braxton released her fifth and presumably last studio album on Sept. 29. The 11-track project was executive produced by the singer, her husband Vincent Herbert, and Rodney Jerkins.
The album comes after Braxton was fired by Telepictures/Warner Bros. in 2016 from her job as co-host of the popular daytime TV show, "The Real." According to Rap-Up, the work of music is a combination of her past works but the singer revealed more details this past week.
In a recent visit to "The Wendy Williams Show" last week, Braxton talked about her album journey and the reason Bluebird of Happiness will be her last album.
"I have to take a step back and figure out what is working and what is not working," she told Williams. "It was a lot of negative things that came out last year. I lost my job publicly. There was a lot of rumors floating around ... It was a lot of negative things. I just found myself on a quest for happiness."
She revealed that she got to a point in her life where she was so unhappy and could not recognize anything around her anymore.
"I'm not quitting music, I'm just not making another album," Braxton said.
Although a lot of drama and controversy followed her firing, the songstress said, "I have no issue with anyone other than the devil."
She went on to say that the album making process happened during her quest for joy.
"On my quest for happiness, I had to get in tune with my spirit," Braxton shared, noting that the album cover reflects her "inner spirit." "I felt so broken, so lost, and confused about everything. [I still feel that way] some days, but I'm a lot better than I was."
The 40-year-old also testified about the goodness of God after her mother recently had a heart attack and stroke.
"He's (God's) so good, she's home three days later," she said.
Braxton will be joining Xscape and Monica on "The Great Xscape Tour" this fall, and her album, Bluebird of Happiness, is now available.

Inspired by Jen's blog Research data - what does it *really* look like? about the profile of the research data at York and the responses it generated including that from the Bentley Historical Library, I decided to take a look at some of the born-digital archives we have at Hull. This data is not research data from academics, it is data that has been donated to or deposited with the Hull History Centre and it comes from a variety of different sources.
Whilst I had previously created a DROID report for each distinct accession I have never really looked into the detail, so for each accession I did the following;
- Run the DROID software and export the results into csv format with one row per file
- Open the file in MS Excel and copy the data to a second tab for the subsequent actions
- Sort the data by Type field into A-Z order and then delete all of the records relating to folders
- Sort the data on the PUID field into A-Z order
- For large datasets highlight the data and then select the subtotal tool and use it to count each time the PUID field changes and record the sub-total
- Once the subtotal tool has completed its calculations, select the entire dataset and select Hide Detail (adjacent to Subtotal in the Outline tools box) to leave you with just a row for each distinct PUID and the total count value
I then created a simple spreadsheet with a column for each distinct accession and added a row for each unique PUID, copying the MIME type, software and version details from the DROID report results. I also noted the number of files that were not identified. There may be quicker ways to get the same results and I would love to hear other suggestions or shortcuts.
After having completed this for 24 accessions - totalling 270,867 files, what have I discovered?
- An impressive 97.96% of files were identified by DROID (compared with only 37% in Jen's smaller sample of research data)
- So far 228 different PUIDs have been identified (compared with 34 formats in Jen's sample)
- The most common format is fmt/40 (MS Word 97-2003) with 120,595 files (44.5%). See the top ten identified formats in the table below...
File format (version)
Total No files
% of total identified files
Microsoft Word Document (97-2003)
Microsoft Word for Windows (2007 onwards)
Microsoft Excel 97 Workbook
Graphics Interchange Format
Acrobat PDF 1.4 - Portable Document Format
JPEG File Interchange Format (1.01)
Microsoft Word Document (6.0 / 95)
Acrobat PDF 1.3 - Portable Document Format
JPEG File Interchange Format (1.02)
Hypertext Markup Language (v4)
I can now quickly look-up whether an individual archive has a particular file type, and see how frequently it occurs. Once I have processed a few more accessions it may be possible to create a "profile" for an individual literary collection or a small business and use this to inform discussions with depositors. I can also start to look at the identified file formats and determine whether there is a strategy in place to migrate that format. Where this isn't the case, knowing the number and frequency of the format amongst the collections will allow me to prioritise my efforts. I will also look to aggregate the data – for example merging all of the different versions of Adobe Acrobat or MS Word.
I haven't forgotten the 5520 unidentified files. By noting the PRONOM signature file number used to profile each archive, it is easy to repeat the process with a later signature file. This could validate the previous results or enable previously unidentified files to be identified (particularly if I use the results of this exercise to feed information back to the PRONOM team). Knowing which accessions have the largest number of unidentified files will allow me to focus my effort as appropriate.
Whilst this has certainly been a useful exercise in its own right, it is also interesting to note the similarities between this the and the born-digital archives profile published by the Bentley Historical Library and the contrast with the research data profile Jen reported on.
The top ten identified formats from Hull and Bentley are quite similar. Both have a good success rate for identifying file formats with 90% identified at Bentley and 98% at Hull. Though the formats do not appear in the same order in the top ten, they do contain similar types of file (MS Word, PDF, JPEGs, GIFs and HTML).
In contrast, only 37% of files were identified in York's research data sample and the top ten file formats that were identified look very different. The only area of overlap being MS Excel files which appear high up in the York research dataset as well as being in the top ten for the Hull History Centre.
Research data is different.

US Vice President Joe Biden called Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych on Thursday to press for a peaceful end to its deadly crisis, as Washington issued a veiled threat of sanctions.
Before announcing the call, the White House had put the blame for the violence squarely on government forces in Kiev, but did welcome news of talks between opposition leaders and Yanukovych.
"The vice president urged President Yanukovych to take steps to end violence and to meaningfully address the legitimate concerns of peaceful protesters," the White House said in a statement.
"While emphasizing that violence by any side is not acceptable, the vice president underscored that only the government of Ukraine can ensure a peaceful end to the crisis and further bloodshed would have consequences for Ukraine's relationship with the United States."
Washington said it was considering whether to impose sanctions on the Ukrainian government over the violence, which it says is the result of a refusal to take the grievances of the protesters seriously.
"We are deeply concerned by the violence," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "We welcome the news that President Yanukovych is meeting directly with opposition leaders."
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf meanwhile delivered a veiled threat that Washington could resort to sanctions.
"We're looking at a a variety of policy options, including sanctions," she said.
"We're not eager to do so, but we need to calibrate our policy based on the situation on the ground, and we hope the government takes advantage of this opportunity."
Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that it was not yet appropriate to slap sanctions on the Kiev government, but also called Yanukovych to urge a return to order.
Activists say five protesters have died in clashes in recent days, marking a new peak in tensions after two months of protests over the government's failure to sign a deal for closer integration with the European Union.

Hey, guys, sometimes we're so obbessed with wonderfull technologies that this world ever had, that for sure we forget about the goods and bads it's bring to our generation today. Yep, within this fews year in the 21st century, we, human being began to feel the pinch, its only a pinch, that hurts a bits in our everday life because of the never ending crisis in our beloved earth. From the polution, energy crisis, indifferent politicals views, old foe of religion harted, the disapearing natural habitats, climatic change,and the newest tidbits for us todays is the foods and oil crisis.
Frightening isn't it, how about digital photography? Well, yo...this beautiful creation of ours also nowadays create nuisane to us too. Because of what? To me, the answer is money, greeds and worst of all, the enemies that exist inside the human body that to me the worst virus of all, jealousy and hatred. Why do I say so, as my opinion, we open our eyes and see that all the gadgets that we have luxury to own nowadays, where else during its starts to exist can only be avaible to a specific organisation or important individual only.
One simple example, the phone camera. Weewitt....careful guys, because its can create a non privacy to our life. What about bluetooth, yep....all the things that can damages our privacy in life can be transmited any where for people to judge, like it or not, well...what to do, it happen. Next days, big news in town, and sometimes its can create chaos in town, cities or even in a country. The end parts, who is benefiting from the agenda, and what did the person responsible get....yep..I guess everbody knows what they got.
I'm not anti to any technologies, because it really help us alot in our life. My opinion is, our moralities , especially to our young generation is deteriorating fast. Who's mistake? The answers to me is who create them...adam and eve.

In previous versions of IE, there has always been a way to access the recent pages you visited by using the back and forward buttons. By seeing a list of the pages, you could then select the specific one you wanted to go to instead of clicking through one page at a time until you finally reached your destination. I find this function extremely valuable and use it constantly.
I have not been able to find the same functionality in Windows Edge yet, and my search on the internet has not found any information about this issue. Is this function not possibly any longer? Has there been any discussion of Windows bringing it to Edge? If not, it is almost a deal breaker for me.
Thanks in advance.

It's not too late.
This is where "I feel lost!" turns from terrifying into an opportunity.
It's time. To no longer fear the change, the uncertainty, but to thrive because of it.
You don't have to know exactly what "Doing You" looks like, or have any clue whatsoever where to start.
You don't know where you'll end up tomorrow, but you want it to be even better than today.
It's about what you choose — now. Today. And then?
What you do about it.
To take the first step, pack your bag and buy a plane ticket. To buy the domain and start the side business. To say YES to real, shake-my-bones kinda love. To trust again and again and again. To say YES to…. doing this your way.
We'll do it together.
Because it can feel like a damn lonely road when you're not sure what's around the bend. When you don't know what others will think of these wild aspirations. When you're worried they'll call you irresponsible.
I'm here to help you find the breakthrough you've been waiting for.
(Just send me photos in a couple of years, ok?)
Click here to schedule an intro session with me to make sure we're a good fit. No sales pitches, no icky high pressure, let's just get to know each other.
You can do this, whatever this is. No more waiting. No more wondering. No more stuck. Let me help.

You need to identify what your app is really worth to somebody. If your app is specific enough and your audience care enough, it could be worth thousands of dollars.
How can I find out what my app is worth to someone?
Here's a tip: Think about the scenario in which a customer decided not to invest in your product. In this scenario, your customer ends up in a situation where they wish they'd invested in your app. How much would your customer be willing to pay to make the problem go away? To be able to go back in time and fix the problem?
Here's my own example:
My app Soundboard Studio is $29.99 investment. It's designed to use on live broadcasts, podcasts and stage productions for live sound playback. A customer would import their music, soundtracks, voiceovers and sound effects, to play out live during their show or performance. My unique selling point is the ability to play multiple tracks simultaneously (you can play some music at the same time as a voice track for example).
So what if Customer X decided not to invest in Soundboard Studio? He/she decided to go for a cheaper (still $14.99) track playback app.
Here's the nightmare scenario:
Customer X is part of a live theatre performance group and it's their opening night tonight. They've sold out of tickets for their show, it's going super well. Suddenly, the atmospheric background music cuts-out, everybody notices, the actors stumble. Suddenly the production seems much less professional.
If they'd invested in Soundboard Studio, that wouldn't have happened. All os a sudden $29.99 doesn't seem like a lot of money.
Customer X isn't necessarily going to lose any money directly because of that mistake, but I bet he/she would pay $29.99 to be able to go back in time and fix that problem.
Here's an email from a customer thanking me because my app is only $29.99.
I'm a live sound engineer and video editor and this app peaked my interest. I hate CDs and linear editors are deadly on live shows. I use hardware options but they are pricy. This will put units like "instant replay" out of business. A $25 app does what a $1800 unit does and does it better because I can control the quality of the recording used for playback. With this unit you have to record directly into the unit live. No loading from a PC. You must have spoken to some pro engineers because this app is like robbing a bank for me. Thanks for doing this.
This is an example of my perfect target customer. Here's why:
- He's a professional live sound engineer, that means he makes money and earns his living as a live sound engineer.
- He invests $1800+ on professional equipment.
- He's experienced and know what matters to his work.
Make your app a "no-brainer" solution
When you're a professional and you're already investing thousands of dollars in hardware, a $29.99 app is a no-brainer investment. Soundboard Studio is 98% cheaper than hardware offering the same features.
- Part 1: Start Getting Subscribers
- Part 2: Being Specific
- Part 3: Growing an Audience of The Right People
- Part 4: Connecting With Your Subscribers
- Part 5: Pricing Your App Above $9.99

Cloud Services
What is the Cloud? Is it secure, reliable and cost effective? What happens to my data in the Cloud? These questions and many others are important considerations when investigating Cloud service options.
At IQ Technology Solutions we view the Cloud as a natural evolution of IT service delivery and the optimization of computing resources. Our Cloud strategy is continually evolving as new services, pricing and options come online.

Some of the Cloud services that many of our small to mid-size business clients are deploying include the following:
- Hosted Microsoft Exchange email
- Backup and disaster recovery solutions
- Hosted Microsoft SharePoint

DAYTONA BEACH — There are two obvious takeaways from the Speedweeks smorgasbord at Daytona.
Cars are very loosey-goosey because of side-drafting dynamics.
Those Joe Gibbs Racing boys are pretty darn good.
Denny Hamlin won a wild Budweiser Duel at Daytona International Speedway Thursday night, not long after teammate Matt Kenseth won the first sprint race that sets the starting grid for the Daytona 500. Hamlin also won the Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night.

I have this problem with my computer. Whenever any sort of USB-device is plugged in, be it a mouse, keyboard or just the cable to my phone, my mic stops working. I have of course tried several different mics, as well as checking that the mics whem selves works. As long as there is no USB-device plugged in everything is working just fine. What happends is this; the computer boots up fine, and I can start skype/ventrilo as usual. But as soon as I try to speak into the mic the computer freezes. Or well, I can still move the mouse and so on, but I can neither open nor close any programs and so on. And again, if there is no USB-device plugged in it works fine.
I have downloaded the latest drivers for the USB ports, as well as for everything else basically. The soundcard is integrated on the motherboard btw.
My motherboard is, assuming I used ada 32 in the right way; 04/25/2007-NFORCE500-SLI-M2N-ESLI-00
Front Side Bus egenskaper
Busstyp AMD Hammer
Realtidsklocka 209 MHz
Effektiv klocka 209 MHz
This is really annoying as my sister just moved abroad to study and Skype/ventrilo is basically our best way to communicate.
Thanks in advance

Although no one has yet proved that the mercury in amalgam fillings is dangerously toxic to the human body, more and more dentists are offering an alternative to amalgam. Before the 19th century, if teeth were filled rather than simply extracted, the resultant hole was usually plugged with either molten gold or silver. The heat killed the nerve of the tooth, and thus the tooth died. However, in the 1820s, Auguste Taveau, of Paris, added mercury to silver-tin from Frenchcoins and thus amalgam, which is soft and malleable at room temperature, was perfected. Amalgam has many great qualities as a tooth filling material. It is tolerant of saliva...Read moreNo comments

'Blue' To Visit Family YMCA Thanks To Boston Scientific
The Owen County Family YMCA will play host to a special visitor this coming Friday, June 1, from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. thanks to a generous donation from the Boston Scientific Corporation in Spencer.
In August of 2011, Boston Scientific took part in an Indiana Blood Center competition, in cooperation with the Colts organization, called the "Colts Challenge." The competition involved Boston Scientific going head-to-head with other large employers. The winner was the site with the highest percentage of donors based on employee population.
"One of the things that we won was a visit from 'Blue' and some of the Colts' cheerleaders," explained BSC Blood Drive Coordinator Debi McLeod. "We had the option to donate that visit to an organization of our choice, and we thought that the Y would be a great place to donate to. We wanted to have a chance to share (the visit) with the community at large."

Mala Iqbal paints landscapes which I find to be pretty epic. They may not be everyone's taste, but I am feeling heavily inspired after discovering her work. Her use of colours and detailed interludes draw you into the work, and she uses paint in a uniquely admirable fashion.
While browsing her website, I found it interesting to observe the progression that is obvious from looking through the archives. Her style has developed from something that appears heavily influenced by graffiti and spray paint art to more organic looking landscape representations. The works included in the post are in reverse chronological order, the first image being one of most recent works from 2009, through to the last one which is from 2006.
Mala has both a BA in Visual Arts and English from Columbia University NYC and an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. She has been exhibiting regularly since 2001. Please visit her site here to see more of her amazing paintings.

To Hell In A Handbag ***
Assembly Rooms, (Venue 20)
Aug 16-21, 23-27, 12.25pm
Amid the hubbub of the Fringe, this is a gentle step back to a time when reputation was all important.
It takes two characters from Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance Of Being Earnest' and puts them centre stage to flesh out their own back stories, and their common ambition. Money.
It's a two-hander, starring Jonathon White and Helen Norton, the man of the cloth and the governess whose lives turn out to be far more intertwined, and clandestine, than would appear.
Set on a small stage which takes it firmly back to the days of Wilde, it's a play within his classic play, and a delight too.
Both characters are prim, middle aged and considered to be pillars of the community, but, that respectability is unpicked scene by scene, … thing most definitely ain't what they seem, but neither character is entirely up front about their own secrets or motivations.
It's a delightful period piece, perfectly played by the highly experienced duo who pack a huge amount into an hour.

They also have a 4S for $400, that I thought might be easier to pick up, since it doesn't have a nano sim, although Net 10 does sell them. Straight Talk requires you to get a cutter.

Furniture Buying Tips You Need To Know
You aren't the only person to need furniture. Everyone with a place to live has to furnish it. That is the reason you can find such a huge selection in the stores. You must ensure that the items blend with existing items and right for your budget. The following paragraphs have a number of ideas you can use.
If you're trying to buy furniture that's wooden, particularly antiques, don't just try to look at the surface on the outside. Check through the undersides and inside, underneath and the drawers. You can get the item is in by looking carefully at these areas rather than just the outer surfaces.
The end of summer is the best time to buy outdoor furniture. Many stores want to sell summer items to make space for winter items. This is when they slash prices cheaper so they're more affordable.
When purchasing furniture for your home office, try to find those with several uses. Armoires can hide your printer and files.
Always test out a recliner or rocker before you purchase it. It may be hard to replace pieces at some furniture stores.
When picking furniture for the living room go with colors that are neutral like tan, grey, or grey. When you choose a color that is neutral, it is a lot easier to change the look of a room by changing accessories or paint colors. This will let you make seasonal changes to your living areas by seasons for a low price.
Check the legs of the piece you are considering.The legs should be hefty and bolted into the frame. Wooden legs are the most durable, metal or plastic, metal and rubber legs also scratch flooring.
If you are purchasing a sofa with a pattern, make sure that it aligns well. Cheap sofas tend to have fabrics that are not aligned properly. If you're spending a lot of money, get a pattern with perfect alignment. Don't buy it if you find tailoring is poor.
Choose durable materials when you shop for furniture. You want to make sure you get the most out of your family for a long time. Furniture can be expensive so choose pieces that are made to last. Metal or hardwood will usually last for a long period of time so they are worthy of consideration.
Read the furniture's warranty prior to making any furniture purchase. You don't want to be stuck paying for expensive furniture repairs that are important to you are covered under warranty.
Test out any furniture you buy it. Be sure there it's sturdy and that you can't see.Flipping something over will also let you look for labels or manufacturer marks that help determine value.
These items can be very difficult to incorporate into your home at a later time.
Were you aware that some holidays are better furniture sales? Veterans Day and Presidents Day are some of great holidays for furniture deals. The best times for making furniture is around Christmas and Independence Day. Prices can even find good financing options.
If you want to make a green purchase in furniture, consider shopping for eco-friendly furniture. But be aware that there are scam artists out there who will mislead you into thinking you're getting something that is good for false claims when it comes to this area. You can always ask if its Oeko Tek certified or FSC certified. This is going to answer your concerns quickly decipher whether or not this purchase will help the green movement.
Don't buy pieces of furniture that doesn't fit what you need just because it's something that you're able to afford. This will allow you get exactly what you want while still being able to work it into your budget.
Try buying your furniture toward the latter days of the month. You will get some excellent deals this way.
You do not have to match the same style as your old or current furniture set. You can buy differnet style pieces of furniture for a fresher look to your home.
Consider your wallpaper pattern and wallpaper when purchasing furniture. Furniture that clashes with those finishes can destroy the decor. You may have to change your flooring or wall color if you are set on buying a new style. Make your new floors or wallpaper match your desired furniture type.
This will help protect your furniture protection against food spills and stains. These can easily be washed if they are soiled. It should not be hard to find a cover that matches your room.
Second hand furniture outlets might be the perfect solution for you if you are on a little better. A lot of stores will allow you to rent out furniture and they'll sell it after it is rented. Often these items were only used to stage a house to show it off when the house or apartment is on the market. This furniture could be in perfect condition because it just was on display for display.
Decide which style of furniture you want before you go shopping.There are various styles to choose from that include modern, including country, modern and traditional styles. Other styles include arts and craft, casual, and casual.
Now that these tips are something you've read over, you should be able to get yourself some great furniture. Simply apply the information you've learned, and you're sure to come out on top. After the decisions are made about the furniture in the home, you can begin working on the rest of the decor.

In this fascinating book, historian of science Edward Tenner takes a fine-toothed comb to several realms of technological intervention and discovers a resolute pattern of `revenge effects, paradoxical, ironic consequences of the steps we take supposedly to improve our lives.' Of particular interest are the number of cases where supposed improvements to the environment have been anything but - where the particular problem has been made manifoldly worse by scientific intervention.

A Briton has been charged with ordering the murder of his Norwegian mistress's baby daughter during a web chat .

The trial is due to start this winter.

After Diluvian
The Wilderness
The Wildernessis a massive jungle that divides the continent of Eun, separating the Glorium from its southern provinces. The Wilderness is known for its ancient forests, vicious fauna and subtle magic. It is rich with lumber, medicinal flora and other natural resources. Its land has historically been proven impossible to deforest, despite countless attempts to settle the Wilderness since the founding of the Glorium. It is larger than any single province or the Glorium on the Eun continent, stretching ten days ride across its longest part (though it would take much longer to actually navigate through its hidden trails).
The Wild Hunt
The absence of Glorium rule from the Wilderness makes it a haven for criminals. Bandits, smugglers and other undesirables make their homes in its forests to escape their crimes, free from the fear of Cavalier law. But lawless does not mean ungoverned.
The natives of the Wilderness (called Wildermyn) rule themselves through a group called the Wild Hunt. Thirty years ago, under its guiding hand many of the ancient monasteries called Sancts –originally dedicated to the Neolithic Gods, since devolved into feudalistic fiefdoms – became nerve centres of a widespread semi-anarchic affiliation called the Wild Hunt. Each Sacrosanct is a cartel of Wilder crime barons, now working together to command a monopoly over trade and travel in the Wilderness through fear, violence and extortion.
Sancts and Sacrosancts
The Wilderness adheres loosely to a class system based largely on the Wild Hunt. There are three higher Sacrosancts which are collections of powerful Sancts. Individual Sancts are ancient churches leftover from the Neolithic Era that have been co-opted by the Wilders and turned into anything ranging from gang headquarters, homes, village centres or even prisons. They are usually manned by Abbots, pastors and monks. Chaplains roam the Wilderness on Sacrosanct business whether it is robbing an uncooperative caravan or quelling any dissension against the Wild Hunt. Lower Sancts dedicated to lesser Gods are usually unambitious local goons.
The three Sacrosancts that are currently in control of much of the Wilderness are:#
- The Order of the Black River that commands the eastern region of the Wilderness called the Fountainhead
- The Hollow Houses that control the northern border the Wilderness shares with the Glorium
- The Third Hand which rules Five Finger Mountain, the choke point of the continent between the southern Wilderness and northern Ressex.
Social Status
In the Wilderness, the only way to move up in the world is to join a Sanct, a local gang that usually has ties to Wild Hunt. These Sancts used to be ancient monasteries and churches, each dedicated to one or more of the Neolithic Gods, ancient deities that are no longer worshipped widely.
Social status is measured by rank within the Wild Hunt, though ranks vary from region to region. From highest to lowest: The Abbots, Pastors, Chaplains, monks and serfs. Almost all adhere to a merit-based system, sometimes accented or replaced by heredity and seniority. Leaders of Sacrosancts or collections of Sancts are sometimes called Saints, but the word is not in common usage.
Abbots (or Abbesses) are the head of the Sanct body, and govern the operations of his Sanct. Abbots are usually the ones communicating with other Sancts, and are the ones that receive or give orders within a Sacrosanct.
In most Sancts, the strongest and most ruthless Wilder becomes Abbot, or alternatively the most cunning and sinister. Some Sancts will recognize good candidates and will either nominate or… persuade tha Wilder to take leadership. Others still elect from a pool of candidates.
Abbots have a history of abusing their power, or at the very least taking the lion's share of profits. This is seen as theirs by right of strength, although wiser Abbots make sure to keep their Chaplains and monks happy and well-paid.
If the Abbot decides the actions of the Sanct, the Pastor is the person that makes sure those actions are carried out, and decides how. Pastors are the right hand and left hand of the Abbot, working hard to make sure the Abbots orders are carried out to the benefit of the Sanct and not only the Abbot himself. Pastors also have the responsibility of dealing with the populace surrounding the Sanct, or the governing bodies thereof.
Pastors are ambitious, powerful in their own right. Oftentimes, it is the betrayal of a Pastor that leads to the downfall of an Abbot… with the former Pastor installed in his place.
Chaplains are the fighting force of the Sanct. They have been recognized for their ability and slowly are given more responsibility and jobs. Chaplains have an informal hierarchy among themselves, and measure each man's worth according to his reputation.
Chaplains are often agents of the Sanct sent out to perform jobs, whether it is delivering a package across borders or attacking a caravan, retrieving owed money or punishment for failure to return said money. Chaplains the sanctsters most often resented by the populace, for their violent and boisterous natures.
Wildermyn are highly loyal to their Sancts and regions, and generally wear clothes made from the natural flora of that area. The most common form of dress are leathers, easily accessible but uncomfortable in the hot tropical weather of the Wilderness. Abbots and Pastors can afford "pressed robes," wherein leaves or petals are waxed and sewn into a shirt. Pastors generally prefer a cloak or mantle of brightly coloured waxed leaves. Abbots often don a circlet of metal to show off their wealth. But even the wealthiest of Wilders wear practical clothing, usually dusty leathers with some floral decorations, sometimes copper or iron is incorporated in small amounts.
Metal and particularly steel are considered rare and precious. Wilders have been known to melt down copper and silver coins for their worth in metal ingots rather than as currency.
Wilder traditions vary from region to region, but almost all have a rite of passage for young women and men, one determined by the domains of the Neolithic God favored in that region. The most widely worshiped and invoked of the Neolithic Gods are:
- Rhadamanthys
- Hyacinth
- Talamur Spear-Maker
- Soraurya River Wind
- Nalini the Nighttime
- Penllyn-in-Bloom
- Levan-upon-the-Stag
- Kayden
- Kyler Shade-Son
The Neolithic Gods are most widely worshiped in the High Hale and Lower Hales of Five Finger Mountain, though more Wilders in general are believers than citizens of the Glorium or Ressex. The Gods were in the height of popularity and power during the reign of the Ressex Tyranny thousands of years ago, before the event known as Diluvian collapsed civilization.

Happy Hump Day!
The very reputable National Enquirer claims Ellen DeGeneres will detail her relationship with Anne Heche in her new book. I don't trust their "source," but I enjoyed laughing at the quotes they've included:
Then they give us this tidbit:
Something tells em Ellen isn't going to be including that in her book, but that's just me. This source probably has much better intel than I do.
Danielle Staub is keeping the lesbian rumor alive. The reality star talked with Access Hollywood about her relationship with Lori Michaels after their performance on Bravo Monday night. Will we see more of her sexuality on the The Real Housewives of New Jersey?:
I don't enjoy doubting someone's bisexuality so instead I will just say that Kim Zolciak played this card first. It didn't really get her anywhere.
Actress Tracy Wright has passed away from cancer, sadly. Canadians might remember her from the feminist sex film Bubbles Galore as porn star Bubbles Galore's jealous lesbian assistant Vivian Klitorsky. R.I.P. Tracy.
Navi Rawat has found a new role now that FlashForward has been canceled. Sadly, she won't be romancing Christine Woods, but she will be feeling the heat in Miami as a new character on Burn Notice. She'll be playing Kendra, who "seems like the girl next door, but I'm anything but." Fingers crossed that means lesbian.
The Sophie-Sian romance is playing out again on Coronation Street. Brooke Vincent and Sacha Parkinson were photographed filming some scenes in Manchester Park.
The leather jacket is a nice touch.
Las Aparicio stars Erendira Ibarra (Mariana) and Liz Gallardo (Julia) will be at the Mexico City Pride Parade this Saturday. If you happen upon them, let them know how much AfterEllen.com readers loves their show — especially their most recent love making scene.
On Lie to Me this week, Tores (Monica Raymund) mentioned she'd once slept with a woman but then followed it up with the comment that she had just been experimenting. This comes just a few weeks after Raymund told Latina magazine she's often mistaken for a lesbian. Weird. Is that supposed to put the rumors to rest? "Tried it, didn't like it."
The July issue of Cosmopolitan has a feature on women having feelings for other women. According to our readers PrettyBaby and Persephone, the article does a so-so job of discussing bisexuality. Says PrettyBaby:
See Cosmo? Gay girls read your magazine — no "man" discussion needed.
Lastly, Indrani, photographer and star of the new Bravo show Double Exposure, had some Tweetin' words with her rumored love interest Lindsay Lohan yesterday. Lindsay was not happy with the description of last night's Double Exposure episode, which insinuated she was close to losing a job.
Meanwhile, Indrani interviewed with Out magazine and answered questions about her sexuality and relationship with Lindsay.
She also Tweeted back to Lindsay's claims yesterday, claiming the cameras didn't lie, but she has since deleted her Tweet. Lindsay has had several other responses after watching the show last night.
It's OK Lindsay. I don't know anyone watching this show. Everybody's seen Mean Girls.
