No, that customer isn't topless. Strange and humourous things can happen when saving images with a limited colour profile. I could "fix" it, but this is how the strip originally ran and it doesn't seem right (or necessary) to do so despite the odd comment I receive about it now and then.
Also, Han shot first.
Welcome to the second update of PS2: System of Shame Week! Oh, you probably didn't even know we were doing a theme week did you? That must have been the only piece of information Armaan left out of his Monday news post. At least he got to the important stuff, god knows we all care about his propensity for ordering cappuccinos. So anyway, this week we're devoting our strips to the most over-hyped game console in the history of gaming. No, I didn't say the PS2 sucks, stop putting words in my mouth will you? I do think it has a lot of growing to do before it meets its full potential though. This is the console people were paying one or two thousand dollars for on ebay before Christmas, and for what? To play the half dozen or so games that are actually worth playing? And that's half a dozen now, not then. SSX is great, but I wouldn't drop a grand just to play it.
Well, assuming I haven't alienated half of our readership by now, why not drop by the forums and let us know what you think of the PS2? Or of d+pad? Or of anything else, because if there's one thing the Internet's good for, it's letting the whole world know exactly what you think. (you thought I was going to say porn, didn't you?)
Catch you Friday,

U.N. Humanitarian Relief Official Calls For More Assistance To Prevent Child Malnutrition In Mali
"The top United Nations relief official said [.pdf] today that humanitarian efforts to alleviate the devastating food crisis affecting Mali have begun to yield results, but warned that much still remains to be done and the situation could worsen without continued donor support," the U.N. News Centre reports (8/30). Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos "on Thursday called for more resources in Mali to save children from severe malnutrition," Agence France-Presse reports. The widespread food crisis in the Sahel region is compounded in Mali by a militant insurgency in the north of the country, according to the news agency. "The food crisis, which follows a drought in 2011, has affected 4.6 million people in Mali alone," and "[a]lmost 150,000 children across Mali have been treated for acute malnutrition … this year," the news agency writes (8/30).

Understanding Guilt
The acceptance of guilt as part of being human is deeply embedded in many cultures. It is taught by many religions. The acceptance of guilt is taught in family after family from early childhood, so it is not surprising that guilt is experienced by all human beings.
Guilt is a position that the mind takes in order to gain acceptance from others...and with itself. It is a psychological trade-off that people use to pay off their wrong-doings whether they actually did them or not. Sometimes you didn't do them but people tell you that you did and you believe them. The projection of guilt from one who considers himself innocent onto another who he deems as guilty is a common tool the mind uses to experience itself as being right and entitled to judge whoever and whenever. Punishment becomes the way of the world. You do something wrong, you get punished. That's the way it is. Do the crime, you do the time. You should have thought about it before you did it. You get what you deserve. Revenge is sweet. I want justice. And on and on and on.
We heap condemnation upon those who hurt us but turn around and do the exact same thing to others....but we are justified and they are not. Can it be any clearer to you that guilt has not prevented one human being from repeating their behavior? Once a person feels guilty enough, they will do it again.
So, let's be clear what guilt is. Guilt is the conscious or unconscious willingness of an individual to accept the judgment of another as being unworthy of love and deserving punishment. Let's also be clear about the extent to which punishment is the proper response to one who has done wrong: it rules our world.
And it is time for all of us to change. Some simple awarenesses of the negative dynamics related to guilt can help us make progress:
If you see yourself as guilty, you cannot be yourself (not guilty). You must be what they believe you are...unworthy of love.
Accepting guilt from another is a clear indication that you do not know who you are.
Guilt is the number one mechanism by which you hold onto the past.
Projecting guilt onto another person is simply an attempt to conceal your own.
You are not bothered in the least by your own condemnation of other people, not realizing in condemning another, you condemn yourself.
The source of your need to attack others stems from your own guilt. If you did not feel guilty, you would not attack others.
You are not really afraid of being condemned by other people. What do you care! They're just as screwed up as you are! Who are they to judge?
In the dark recesses of your mind, you are aware that although you do everything you can to avoid seeing it, that you have condemned yourself, found yourself unworthy and undeserving of love, guilty as charged...sometimes not even understanding why you feel that way. It is the guilt in you that sees (projects) the guilt in another.
You are more afraid of love than you are guilt.
It is the way things are and it is the way life is.
The journey out of guilt is not a journey at all and no time is needed to correct it. It is simply an awakening that reveals the truth that love and guilt cannot fill the same space. It is the awareness that you cannot serve two masters. It is the awareness that accepting guilt as who you are denies the love that is your right. The deepest fear that resides behind guilt is the belief that not only are you not worthy, but that you do not choose it. You do not choose to be, to function, to love, to speak, to relate as one who is "acquitted / redeemed" because if you did, you would no longer be able to live the way you do! You would have to change. You would have to see the world differently. And if I can be even more challenging here, you would be aware that you would choose to love. Not only yourself. But them, too.
So, I want to tell you something that is true. In spite of the mistakes in your life, it is true. In spite of your past, it is true. I want to tell you something that is going to upset your mind because your mind will find it inconceivable that it is true. In fact, your mind will do everything it can to convince you that it is impossible and that I don't know what I'm talking about.
I am not going to tell what you are not. I'm going to tell you what you are. You are innocent. You are blameless. You did the best you could with what you knew and understood about yourself. You don't deserve love...you are love. Your greatest barrier and greatest power is seeing this and bringing your self-deception to an end. No individual, no amount of money, no promotion, no condition of grandiosity, no love from another can cause you to believe this...only you can give this gift to yourself. You do not need to forgive yourself because there is nothing to forgive. And if you don't understand that or believe that, then begin with forgiving yourself and get on with it.
Your greatest power is consciousness. Throughout the day, remind yourself of who you really are and courageously choose to act that way, in spite of the objections your mind produces. And then notice how you feel.
As with all things, it is a choice.

Best Dressed Since 1935
Our story dates back to 1935 when Girard's French Restaurant in San Francisco (located just above historic John's Grill) tossed up a French dressing recipe so delicious, patrons were begging to take whole bottles home.
As word spread about our dressings, appetites grew and GFF, Inc. was formed for those looking to buy in bulk. A division of HACO, a Swiss food manufacturer, we are a food service company dedicated to developing and distributing a variety of unique, high-quality salad dressings, sauces, mustards and mayonnaise spreads. All our recipes are carefully formulated with the same focus on flavor and freshness as our founders had in 1935.

About
 This repository contains a [/raw/Assembler.exe?name=4b29ec5cbe167e6c407a3f057c22def520b28a80|command-line assembler], and a [/raw/MegaProcessor.exe?name=9b00b05ef17eb9ce8a720a2e7a128d3bd40bcf5b|simulator] for [http://www.megaprocessor.com|James Newman's MegaProcessor].
Status
 Currently (2015) the state of the simulator and the assembler are very much first-cut (November 2014).
 Both are windows programs. The simulator is runnable under Linux (in [http://www.winehq.com|Wine])
 In the simulator, use "File::Load" to load an (intel-hex) image file. The "Assembler.exe" seems to miss a couple of dependency DLLs.
 This repository also contains a command-line assembler implemented in [www.lua.org|Lua],
 but as of Sept 2015, that is stil a work in progress.

How to get this software
 First, get a working binary of fossil, either by [https://www.fossil-scm.org/download.html|direct download], or by compiling it yourself.
 (Installing fossil is one simple step. Put the fossil executable somewhere in your PATH.) Then, create a directory to store the repository file, cd to this directory, and enter the following command...  [/help?cmd=clone|fossil clone] http://chiselapp.com/user/jfk/repository/MegaProcessor 'YourRepoName.fossil' This gets you your own copy of the repository. To access its contents, create a second directory in a location where you normally put the files that you work on,
 make that your current directory (cd) and enter the command...  [/help?cmd=open|fossil open] 'path/to/YourRepoName.fossil' This gets you a copy of the most recent files in your repository.
 You can work with these files, add changes and [/help?cmd=commit|commit] these back into your repository.
 From this point on, you can either continue development on your own, or push/synch the changes
 from your repository back into a centrally shared repository like the one on this site.

Wow, having visitors is so much work. Who's shoes to sniff first? Which shower to lick? Do I steal a hair elastic or hairspray bottle top? The decision making process is never-ending, and quite frankly, it's exahusting. The visitors are super fun though. One of them likes my blue toy. He seems to understand how utterly fantastic it is. I like him. Maybe I'll send him a blue toy for Christmas...

District Taco is heading to Riverdale Park Station as well.
The popular D.C. eatery is one of the other planned tenants for the new shopping center around the upcoming Whole Foods grocery store.
District Taco is not just another Mexican restaurant. After starting as a taco cart in Rosslyn in 2009, it's grown to a seven-restaurant chain. (The Washington Post named its healthy breakfast taco one of the 40 "most essential dishes" of 2015.)
This would be the first Maryland outpost for the restaurant chain, although its opening date is still to-be-announced.
A map from real estate brokerage firm H&R Retail also shows leases for Seattle-based fast-casual chain MOD Pizza, California chain Habit Burger, a Jersey Mike's sandwich shop, Burton's Grill and Bar, an Old Line Bank, a Bella Beach nail spa and a Gold's Gym, plus a number of spaces yet to be signed.
Whole Foods opens on April 12.

CLAUDIA WEST, Co-author, Planting in a Post-Wild World: Designing Plant Communities for Resilient Landscapes.
Planting in a Post-Wild World
We live in a global city and few wild places remain in today's world. Planting designers have the opportunity and responsibility to bring wildness and ecological value back into our landscape. This challenge requires a new form of planting design that works with natural principles and marries horticulture with ecology. Join us as we explore how native and ecological plants will fit into our future landscape and how plant community based design strategies can help you meet aesthetic and ecological goals during your next planting project.
Learning objective:
• Analyze differences between the way plants grow in the wild and the way they grow in designed landscapes.
• Examine strategies for creating aesthetic frames around mixed planting to make them attractive and appealing to the public.
Understand how to use site constraints as assets and minimize site preparation resources.

MIKE BALD, Owner and founder, "Got Weeds"?
Invasive Species? Weed Issues? Poor Soil? Rehabilitate your Land with Stewardship and Thoughtful Transition
Stewardship is the path; enjoy the journey. People have managed landscapes for thousands of years. Agriculture, and virtually any land management activity, is a dynamic undertaking. The land, the people who work it, the weather, the plants and their seeds, all are shifty and ever-changing. Throw climate change into that scenario to create quite the moving target for anyone pursuing management visions. So how do we keep our lands on a path toward improved health, resilience, and functionality? How do we give advantage native species while stemming the advance of opportunistic and unbound invasives? How do we fund the effort and build community? Presence. Simple, curious, humble, energetic, and persistent Presence builds deep connections. These connections are the roots of Stewardship; our Presence and our understanding of the dynamics at play on the land allow us to take a role and bring our influence to bear. Management practices and singular actions define our notion of Presence. Thus, an open, receptive mindset is crucial to informing and guiding our approaches.

Wild and Neat: Bridging the Gap between Great Garden Design and Ecology
Our planet is rapidly losing its foundation of life—the very plants that sustain us and most other creatures on earth. We know that planting more native plants in our gardens is an important part of the solution. However, many native plant gardens that focus on ecological benefits often suffer for aesthetic challenges and fail to inspire the public. Great planting design is an essential part of the solution. Join us as we dig deeper into inspiring design principles derived from wild plant communities that resonate deeply within us and trigger stunning emotional responses. We will analyze archetypal landscapes and translate their principles into smaller garden spaces to help you create the native plant oasis of your dreams that will blow you away with stunning beauty!
Learning objective:
• Understand the reasons for aesthetic and functional challenges surrounding native planting.
• Discover the principles behind inherently beautiful archetypal landscapes.
• Apply principles of stunning wild landscapes to smaller garden spaces and learn how to spark strong emotional responses.
Explore countless inspiring design solutions that bring nature back into our gardens.

JAMES TOPPIN and JANET TRAUB
Small World: Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts
Looking for adventure? You can start by exploring the bryophytes growing in your back yard! Mosses are small plants that are part of virtually every landscape, even in the heart of the city. Many are drought-tolerant. A few species are aquatic. Most mosses are perennial and thrive throughout the year. About 400 kinds are reported in Michigan. Most of the 160 species of liverworts in Michigan grow in moist habitats. Fossil liverworts represent the earliest known land plants, dating back over 450 million years. Three species of hornworts are known from Michigan, usually observed in late fall on bare soil in places such as old fields. We'll explore the diversity and interesting natural history of these lesser-known plants.
Concurrent Session #2 Big Ten C
DAVID SCHUEN, Michigan Department of Transportation
Conservation Planning for Rare Native Plants along I-75 in Monroe County
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has created a conservation plan guiding the reconstruction of I-75 as it passes just west of Lake Erie.

JULIE HURD, PhD. Retired from a university teaching career, Julie member of the Handweavers Guild of America and the Michigan League of Handweavers.
Nature's Palette: Native Plants as Textile Dyes
Prior to 1856, when the first synthetic dye was produced in a laboratory, all colors in clothing, household, and ceremonial textiles were derived from naturally occurring sources. Whether for the medieval tapestries of Europe, the glowing colors of ancient Scottish tartans, or the silken kimonos of Asia, skilled dyers practiced their craft and passed on their knowledge of dyeing fiber using materials found in nature. Plant sources were employed most often, but insects, other animal sources, and naturally occurring inorganic substances sometimes played a role in bringing color into human surroundings. Learn how color can be extracted from natural sources to create a predictable and lasting dye on fiber. It may look like magic, but is really chemistry, physics, botany, and more.
Concurrent Session #2 Big Ten C
PAUL GLAUM, Phd. Candidate University of Michigan, Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Parsing the Particulars of Pollinator Populations: Dynamics of Wild Insect Pollinator Communities in Natural and Human Altered Environments.
Wild insect pollinators play critical roles in supporting both agricultural output and general plant biodiversity. Unfortunately, numerous pollinating insect species are experiencing alarming declines. Protecting pollinators requires a better understanding of how their abundance and biodiversity is maintained in natural habitats as well as what might be expected when these natural habitats are altered due to human land use. In this talk I will explore both of these issues and detail some efforts which may offer support for these essential organisms

You all know how I am a fan of environmental friendly decisions and structures. Anything to preserve our environment works for me. I am not a beauty blogger but hey when I see my favorite things I would definitely talk about them. Besides who doesn't love a beauty product that would create as much impact on the environment as it would their skin? I think we all should tilt towards this direction, we should always check for products that are not harmful to our skin and the environment.
P.S. These are my lazy days, but I won't stay down for long…..
A Reblog Originally Posted by When Women Inspire
Now, Sophia Smith stops by to talk about the best eco-friendly beauty products. With a focus on eco-friendly beauty, this post is educational and can help each of us minimize our environmental footprint.
We all love using our favorite makeup and beauty products, and we know how heartbreaking it is when we find out that a company we've loved so much, and whose loyal customer we have been for years, reveals that it uses animal tested products or unsafe ingredients. And if you want to use natural, organic products, it can often mean that you are sacrificing efficiency. So, to help you out and make sure you don't get into a situation where you fall in love with a brand that isn't nearly as good for you or the environment as you think it is, here is a list of standup companies that give you great products you're happy with, all without sacrificing our health. Or the health of the planet. Check out these best eco-friendly beauty products.
Why is using natural products important?
Before we start listing off our top favorites, it's important to understand why we should be using natural products versus artificial ones. Firstly, we have to decide what it is we want for our skin. If we want long-term solutions for any skin problems, a healthy and youthful glow and an overall healthierfeeling, we have to understand that artificial ingredients can't work with our skin – they can only work against it. They might provide quick solutions, but in the long-term, it's only causing even more damage.
On the other hand, natural ingredients can work together with your skin and your body to help it heal and repair itself. Not to mention, if products are eco-friendly, it means not only they are made out of natural ingredients, but also that their production process isn't damaging the environment, nor is it torturing animals. Admittedly, natural products tend to be more expensive, but in the end, there is still a clear winner.
Organic antioxidants
Yes, oxygen helps us stay alive. But it actually isn't the best thing for us, which is why there is so much focus on substances that inhibit oxidation. Antioxidants can be incorporated into nearly every skincare product, the food we eat, and even hair growth products. Just like an apple browns due to oxidation when left outside, your skin ages. Using natural antioxidants, though, helps rejuvenate the skin, smooth it out, and prevent wrinkles and fine lines. It can even help reduce dark spots from sun damage.
Eco-Friendly Beauty Products: The Down to Earth Kit
You can't ask for much more than an all-in-one kit that is perfect for on-the-go makeup, all wrapped up into one pretty package. This four-piece kit comes from Tarte and it was made in collaboration with celebrity makeup artists and stylists. The kit comes with a butter lip tint, a mascara with great packaging, a classic liquid eyeliner, and a blush. They are all full-sized products and they come in a pretty little eco bag. But the best part? Twenty percent of the revenues will go to an organization which provides clean drinking water all over the world.
If you thought this list of the best eco-friendly beauty products wouldn't include Korres – you haven't been paying attention. They are one of the leading eco brands in the world, and a company everyone should look up to. They have a wide range of top quality products, and all of them in eco-friendly packaging. If you want to try one thing from their collection, let it be one of their life changing face masks. You will feel like you were in a five star spa, and the results are just incredible.
Burt's Bees
You might know them best for their lip balms, but Burt's Bees are so much more than just honey-smooth lips. They have the aim to become the greenest company in the world. And their goals are all noble, including fair trade, all-natural ingredients and, of course, bringing the bees back. If you've never tried their eco-friendly beauty products, definitely start with the balms, and it's very likely you will be coming back for more.
We live in a time when it's extremely important to take care of not just our bodies, but the entire planet. Now we need to be more aware than ever of what is going into our products. We can all do our part in maintaining our planet, and if we think globally and act locally, we can change the world – one lipstick at a time.

One of the myths about university faculty and administrator life is that summers are times of leisure.
The truth is that faculty are furiously working on their research and scholarship, either absorbing new information that pushes a research idea along, synthesizing information to build out their new products, or writing/producing the final scholarly products for dissemination to the larger world. Some of that work is off campus, in archives, research institutes, or laboratories away from DC. Administrators are planning new initiatives, working diligently on budget issues, and finalizing faculty recruiting. Mostly they're still on campus.
This summer, much of the Provost Office attention is on cross-school and cross-campus initiatives. For example, we are proud to be working on the university initiative on Racial Justice, launching faculty searches for four founding members of the Georgetown Institute for Racial Justice, who will be tenured members of an academic unit as well as research professors in the Institute. This involves searches on all three campuses, in coordination with a university-level committee.
For me this summer seems over already. With each passing day, I notice more people walking across campus. Some are part of early prep programs at the undergraduate or graduate levels. Some programs start their formal classes in early August.
Workers on the facilities crews are furiously completing renovations in dormitories, bringing in newly purchased furniture, and preparing for the new occupants. The volume of rain we have had over the past few weeks have kept them busy, just repairing and protecting the campus buildings.
More and more faculty are around making final preparations for their fall courses. They've changed the mix of time spent on their research and time spent on teaching-related activities.
We're preparing the programs for the new student convocations, both undergraduate and graduate. These involve large numbers of staff, all devoted to offering a sincere welcome to new members of our community. On the undergraduate side, dormitory move-in is only about two weeks away. This is a multi-day affair with a balloon-decorated campus, filled with upper-level students greeting the families of new students and helping them move their belongings into their new rooms. The level of energy is a stark contrast to the quieter days of the summer.
While I welcomed the quiet of a summer campus for a few weeks, it gets old pretty fast. The vibrancy of a university depends on the energy brought to it by the passion of faculty devoted to their field and the excitement of students in actively pursuing their formation as learners of new fields. This happens only when they're together.
Over the past few days, as the foot traffic on campus increases, you can almost feel the ever-growing energy that makes a university a special place. They'll all be back soon, and the magic will begin again.

In "The Trouble with Writing Endings," author, publishing analyst, and Book Riot contributor Kristen Twardowski wonders when it's best to stop telling a story.
The trouble with writing endings is that endings don't actually exist. Not really. Instead there simply comes a moment when we stop telling the story.
Knowing when to stop has always been hard for me. In my head, I can't help but carry the narrative on. What happens to the hero after she defeats the evil king? What happens after the protagonist gets married? What happens to the soldiers who were part of the losing army? What happens to the rest of the universe when the brightest star in a galaxy explodes?
There is always an after. And an after the after. And another after after that.
But the writer still has to stop telling the story at some point.
Read her post. When do you know it's time to end a story?

On the 9th July the Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated – a Full Moon.
On 23rd July the Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun – a New Moon - and will not be visible in the night sky. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
On 28th July a minor meteor shower, Alpha Capricornids, will peak, and these showers are known for their fireballs.
On 30th July a major (Class I) meteor shower Southern Delta Aquariids will peak. The crescent moon will set by midnight, leaving dark skies for what should be a good early morning show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight.

Finally back to normal… well… not quite but definitely I'm back to my Blog!
It has been an intense 2,3 months before Totoro Forest Project Auction back on 9/6. By far the biggest project I have run in my life. I'm sure all the TFP committee members feel the same too. Especially Yukino Pang who poured into this as much as I have onto this project. I killed myself over this one and I don't know if I can do this again anytime soon. 🙂
Of course, this incredible event couldn't have been done without so many people's generous help. Many people worked very hard to contribute to the successful fund raising of over $200,000.
This may be a small sum of money considering how expensive Tokyo area real estate is, and this maybe a small thing in relation to the environmental crisis challenge the world is facing Today. But I still felt this meant so much—-how so many many people around the world got united through one inspiration and this may be one of the key answers to the future of our existence.
Thank you so much for your tremendous support everyone!
Some of my friends who know me already suspect I'm doing something like this again soon. Stay tuned! 🙂
This is a small watercolor painting I did for John Lasseter to show our special appreciation for his support. As a memory of this event, John will frame this along with the paintings by other committee members, Enrico Casarosa and Ronnie Del Carmen. Darn… watercolor is really hard… not really my medium… but I want to practice more!

text: Staff Host Account / Thursday, February 7, 2019 / Categories: Islam Times-English Ill Palestinian prisoner dies because of 'deliberate medical negligence' in Israeli jail Fares Baroud, a resident of the al-Shati refugee camp in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, died on Wednesday evening, only hours after being suddenly transferred to intensive care from Ramon prison in the Israeli-occupied territories. The late 51-year-old was suffering from a number of health conditions, including a hernia and liver disease, and had repeatedly spoken about medical neglect and denial of necessary health treatment to Palestinian inmates. Baroud had earlier lost 80 percent of his eyesight due to a vision problem and Israeli prison officials had delayed the required treatment for four consecutive months. Israeli authorities had also denied him of family visits for 18 years. Baroud was arrested in 1991, and was supposed to be released in 2013 as part of negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and the Tel Aviv regime. Israeli officials, however, reneged on the agreement, refusing to release the final 30 prisoners, including him. Director of the Palestinian Prisoners Media Office, Nahed al-Fakhouri, described Baroud's death at the hands of Israeli officials as a "heinous crime," stating that it reflects the criminal policies pursued by the Israel Prison Service against Palestinian detainees. Moreover, Hamas resistance movement held the Israeli regime fully responsible for the death of the Palestinian prisoner. It argued that the deliberate medical neglect policy pursued by Israeli prison officials against Palestinian inmates amounts to a "crime against humanity," calling on international humanitarian and legal organizations to act urgently to save the lives of thousands of Palestinian prisoners. Hamas further stressed that Israel's heinous crimes will never break the Palestinian detainees' will. Some 7,000 Palestinians are currently behind bars in 17 Israeli prisons and detention centers, according to reports. More than 400 Palestinians are being held without trial under so-called administrative detention, which is a policy according to which Palestinian inmates are kept in Israeli detention facilities without trial or charge. Some Palestinian prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to 11 years. Furthermore, a total of 13 Palestinian lawmakers are currently held in Israeli detention facilities, nine of whom under administrative detention.Link to original article Previous Article Venezuela seizes large shipment of American weapons coming from Florida Next Article US blocks UN motion against Israel's expulsion of al-Khalil monitors Print 178 Rate this article: No rating Tags: Palestine Leave a comment Name: Please enter a name.

SMC's Latin Invasion Takes Over
The Latino Student Union (LSU) and Association of Latin American Students (ALAS) hosted an afternoon of lively Latin dances and delicious foods from various Latin countries on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the SMC clocktower. An audience began gathering around the clocktower a little after 11 a.m. as SMC students Rene Hernandez, Vivían Solis, Elena Nuñez, Justin Mendez, Carlos Castillo, and Esmeralda Sandoval danced Merengue and Reggaeton.
After dancing, Justin Mendez, a member of LSU commented with a smile that the event was "two groups coming together as one," referring to the different Latin student groups LSU and ALAS.
Different booths were set up around the clocktower for the different Latin countries being represented. All of the booths were sampling food and basic information on their country. Students were allowed to sample the food if they completed a small booklet about the different countries, including various questions about the countries such as the national bird.
El Salvador's booth was sampling rellenitos, or "plantains with beans inside," said Ana Vielman. They are surprisingly sweet, and don't have a strong taste of beans at all. They were also serving a punch from Nicaragua which Vielman described as, "natural juice with a lot of fruit inside."
At another booth, Mexico and North America were represented. Chicken tamales were being served with both green and red sauce. From Cuba, Erica Cortez explains the fried-ball looking treats at her table as, "potato balls filled with meat and veggies." The pastries being served at that booth looked like croissant's which she described as filled with fruit jelly.
While exploring the booths, Laura, LSU club coordinator, at the mic probed the audience for a response on what dance had just been performed. After commenting that everyone came for the food, she enthusiastically announced the dance, "The Chata!" All of the audience seemed engaged in watching the dancing couple swing each other around to such a passionate dance.
All throughout the event, LSU and ALAS members emphasize that you do not have to be Latin to partake in their clubs or events. Israel Torres, while sipping some of the juice from Nicaragua, said about the event, "I like it.
It's an eye-opening experience for those people who don't know about Hispanic culture." Standing by his side, Josephine Noh agreed. She said, "Not everyone is Mexican. This stops stereotypes."

"Fantastic Four" comics I read were the first issue by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and the reboot by Scott Lobdell (I think) and Jim Lee. But I knew enough of the team to appreciate the movie. I must admit, though, that when the cast was first announced, I was unsure if Jessica Alba was the right person to play Susan Storm, who is supposed to be about the same age as Reed Richards, i.e. early-thirties at the youngest. Maybe she's supposed to be a young genius in the movie. If she was, it was never shown.
I'd read review after bad review of the movie, so I didn't have any high expectations aside from seeing comic book pictures come to life with real life actors. Compared to other superhero movies, it paled beside "Spider-Man" but was better than "Hulk" and maybe on par with the first "X-Men" movie.
As expected, the interaction between Ben "The Thing" Grimm and Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm was the highlight of the movie. I laughed out loud with everyone in the hall when Johnny tricked Ben into slapping himself with a whipped cream-covered hand. Hahaha! But for every good part, there's a bad part, like when they fought after his daredevil stunt. That part seemed too forced, as if the writer just needed to make the team members start to come to blows with one another.
Another part that I didn't enjoy was the final fight between the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom. Why? Because it was too darn short! As soon as I had got into the heat of things, Mr Fantastic was instructing the team about what to do, and then it was over. After Doctor Doom had been supercooled, I half expected him to unfreeze a la T1000 in "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", but round two never materialised.
For that matter, Doctor Doom's character was never completely fleshed out. He was taking revenge on the team because he had lost everything? Sorry, I don't follow the logic. If this were the comics, he would've come up with a nefarious scheme that would cause the entire team to face a real ordeal, like preventing planet domination.
On the other hand, Julian McMahon plays a pretty good villain: smooth, cool, evil...
One other thing that bugged me: where did Reed Richards get the funds to build his cosmic storm replicator??? The banks had already given him his final notices, his friend Victor von Doom was not only bankrupt but becoming his enemy, he had not cashed in on the team's fame and fortune. That part just seemed too far-fetched.
Mmm, Jessica Alba in lingerie... every fanboy's dream... and actually, that whole sequence was quite silly and unneeded, if you really think about it. If Reed and Johnny could reach Ben so easily on the bridge, did Sue really need to turn invisible and push through the crowd?
And about that bridge scene: haven't the drivers learned how to use their brakes??? Especially the emergency crew??? Even Ben had to tell two (albeit old) lady drivers to step on their brakes. Well, duh!
So I would say that "Fantastic Four" is a good movie to just kick back and enjoy, but not something that you would keep as part of your DVD collection.
One thing I should thank my lucky stars: about half of the hall was occupied by preteen children, yet I hardly heard an unexpected squeak from any of them. They all knew when to be quiet and when to laugh out loud. Whew!
Next up: "Sin City". Just need to find the right alley to turn into...

My choice of object was a delicate and rather fragile painting, 'Love Dreaming by the Sea', Simeon Solomon, 1871, watercolour on paper. It is a bequest from the Nanteos collection, bequeathed by George Powell, who also commissioned the little painting.
Further information can be sought by following this link:
Many years have passed since I first encountered this painting as a print. Its impact was immediate. I was drawn to the warm, subtle hues, reminiscent of the William Morris inspired decor of my childhood. On a beach, an unclothed figure, relaxed and meditative looks out at, thinks about, well, about what? Possibly nothing, just being. How I yearned for such peace of mind.
When I finally beheld the original in its flat, broad gilded frame, I fell in love with the little painting again. The figure at its centre, delicate yet strong, ambiguous, knowing, self-assured, comfortable in its own skin, an angel.
As with most artworks, my response to the painting has morphed through several forms. I began by exploring colours, mixing and matching pigments and painting elements of the original. I drew, traced, dissected, repeated shapes, created patterns, devised a jointed figure and attempted a puppet to explore the pose.
Foremost during these explorations was what might be going on in the angel's head? The concept of a tranquil mind space led to a small scale mock-up, of a quiet space. This included a silhouette of the angel (which wold be on a human scale), with a seat behind it and a space where a person's head could rest. Having created a small card model, I went on to construct a full size fabric tented mock-up where an individual could sit, beside a silhouette of the angel and in solitude, pause and simply be. (The full size tented mock-up did not survive house reorganisation.)
Work developed, focussing upon the single silhouette. For weeks, a card version (approximately 60cm high), was moved around my work room, leant here, suspended there, held against a window with Aber in the background. It was forever on the edge of my vision.
Eventually the card shape deteriorated, a more rigid version was required.
Following several trials with stronger materials, I returned to familiar ground , working with wood and gesso. I required assistance to cut the ply-wood base. This was a good lesson. As capabilities change I need to learn to be able to ask for and accept assistance without reverting to personal frustration. Delegation and sharing and teamwork can support creativity.
Coats of gesso were carefully applied to the wood, then polished to a soft matte lustre. The resulting surface is rather fragile, similar to that of royal icing or a sucked mint. Whilst difficult to photograph, this added an interesting challenge. At this point the dreamer had begun to take on a persona of its own and became known as, Being.
Test pieces for Being, support each other.

A Troubled Young Life
Arifa is the 18-year old daughter of Amzad Hossain a labourer in Dorshona village, Rangpur. Her mother had died when she was young. When she was 13, her father married her off to Ripon Miah who demanded a dowry of 50,000Tk after the wedding had taken place. But Amzad could not afford this amount of money and Ripon and his family became angry. They began to beat Arifa, both physically and mentally, to force her to return to her father's house.But Amzad had recently married again and his new wife refused to have Arifa in the house. When Arifa became pregnant she thought things would improve but instead they worsened. Instead of being a good father and husband, Ripon refused to get proper treatment for his baby daughter when she was contracted typhoid. That was when Arifa's father reluctantly agreed she could return home, expecting Ripon to give him maintenance for Arifa. But Ripon's family refused to pay and, instead, they went to Amzad's house and abducted the baby. Desperate, Arifa went to Dorshona Federation for help but they failed in their attempts to retrieve her daughter. With help from RDRS, Arifa filed a case against her husband and with a court order was reunited with her baby. Because of poverty, things were still difficult at her father's house and her stepmother resented her. Eventually, Arifa went to live at the RDRS Rehabilitation Centre. There, she received counselling, legal advice, literacy and numeracy education and skills-training in tailoring and block-printing; she was also safe and happy for the first time in her young life. Now she is earning 100-150Tk per day and not dependent on anyone.

Difference Between Saeco Intelia vs Minuto: Which One Is Best To Buy?
We've already compared a few Saeco super-automatic espresso machines like the Pure vs. Minuto and the Intelia vs. Syntia. Today we'll be adding a third comparison that looks at the Intelia vs. Minuto.
Saeco Intelia vs. Minuto, What Is The Difference?
Image Title SAECO HD8753/87 Philips Intellia Cappuccino Fully Automatic Espresso Machine SAECO HD8775/48 Philips Minuto Focus Fully Automatic Espresso Machine Feature One touch cappuccino
Integrated automatic milk function with Easy Refill, milk carafe included
Adjustable coffee strength and temperature, Ceramic grinders for Aroma preserving
Automatic cleaning and de-scaling
Pre-brewing function for flavor enhancing
Saeco's new dual pressure lever makes both espresso and coffee
New patented automatic milk frother for one touch froth
No more burnt coffee thanks to our 100% ceramic grinders, Fully automatic rinsing and de-scaling
Memo function thanks to an intuitive display interface
Adjustable grinder to play with the coffee richness, One click removable brewing group
Reviews Read Reviews Read Reviews Link More Info More Info
- Both the Intelia and Minuto feature built in ceramic burr grinder that all Saeco machine use. They both also feature a bypass doser that allows you to use pre-ground coffee without using the grinder.
- You can adjust the grind settings as you like.
- You can control the coffee strength and re-program all settings using the LCD screen available on both machines.
- You can also save any special customizations to your drinks
Here's where you'll find the difference:
- The Minuto is a Dual pressure espresso machine which allows it to brew a long cup of coffee, too. For brewing espresso, it will use 15 bars of pressure, for coffee, it will only use 3 to 5 bars, which means you get a long cup of coffee with just a little bit of crema, very similar to a cup of drip coffee.
- Lever on the brewing head is used to choose between espresso or coffee brewing.
- Options on the Minuto include: Espresso, Medium coffee, large coffee. You can also use the milk frother for steam or hot water, which you can choose from a button.
- The brewing head on the Minuto is not adjustable in height, which might cause a bit of splashing when brewing into a short cup.
Click here to learn more about the Saeco Minuto, read the customer reviews and buy it.
See it in action:
As for the Saeco Intelia:
- It has an integrated milk frother that the Minuto lacks. You can create milk based drinks with a touch of a button.
- The milk tank is fully detachable so you can easily refill it and save any left over milk in the fridge.
- It has pre-programmed button for Cappuccino and another for 'Special' drinks, which means Lattes or Macchiatos, it will allow you to adjust the milk to espresso ratio.
- The Intelia does NOT make coffee like the Mintuo as it works with 15 bars of pressure only.
- The brewing head on the Intelia is adjustable in height.

See it in action:
Which One Should You Buy, The Saeco Intelia or Minuto?
The choice shouldn't very hard here:
- If you want both coffee and espresso – the Minuto is for you.
- However, if you drink more milk based espresso drinks, you'll love how easy and quick the Intelia is in preparing those. For coffee, you'll have to have a separate coffee maker or alternatively, you can make Americano (double espresso + water).
Saeco Intelia vs. Intuita, What Is The Difference?
The Saeco Intuita is great fully automatic espresso machine for a budget of under $1000. Many readers have asked about the difference between the Intuita and the Saeco Intelia, wondering if they could save on the price while getting the same quality. Here's our comparison of the two machines:

ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa arrived in Saudi Arabia Monday to help resolve diplomatic crisis in the Gulf. The prime minister was received by Salman Bin Abdul Aziz. Finance Minister
ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa arrived in Saudi Arabia Monday to help resolve diplomatic crisis in the Gulf.
The prime minister was received by Salman Bin Abdul Aziz.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Adivser to PM on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan's envoy to SA Khan Hasham and other officials have accompanied the premier during the visit. The premier will hold meetings with officials of the Kingdom on the ongoing crisis.
Before leaving, the PM chaired a envoy conference to discuss the GCC-Arab crisis. The ambassadors concerned including from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, Pakistan's Ambassador to UN Maleeha Lodhi and other officials attended the meeting
The purpose of the meeting was to develop a stance on the issue after discussing with envoys regarding the ongoing situation.
After the meeting, the prime minister said that Pakistan has deep and friendly relations with Saudi Arabia among all Gulf states, adding that Pakistan will make honest efforts to ease ongoing rift between Islamic countries.
PM's Offer
During his recent visit to Kazakhstan to attend SCO summit, the Prime Minister stated that Pakistan was ready to play the role of mediator to help end the diplomatic crisis in the Middle East.
Pakistan ready for mediation to resolve Middle East crisis: PM Nawaz
"Pakistan would try to solve the crisis diplomatically," said PM Nawaz adding that Pakistan valued its ties with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran.
Isolating Qatar
On June 5, five Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Yemen and Egypt, and other non-Arab countries cut all diplomatic relations with fellow Gulf Arab state, Qatar, for allegedly supporting terrorism and extremism.
Pakistan's Reaction
After the untoward decision by Muslim countries, international powers were wondering whether Pakistan would side with Saudi Arabia or take a different turn.
However, a Foreign Office statement confirmed that Pakistan had no immediate plan to severe ties with Qatar.
"Pakistan has no such plans," FO spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said in a statement.
"At the moment there is nothing on Qatar issue, (we) will issue a statement if some development takes place," Zakaria added.

January Favourites - Nail Polish
6 February 2013
Good Afternoon, Hope you're all having a nice day so far! I went up to the diy store this morning and ripped a bit of sample wallpaper off and it's perfect for a photo background! I love it, top tip! As we are now in February, it's acceptable to wear spring colours! These are my favourite spring nail polishes. I wish I had a nail wheel to show you how they come out. They are opaque in two coats which is fab, as there is nothing worse than doing four or five coats and waiting hours for it to dry (slight exaggeration). The Technic Nail polishes were from Body Care and were £1 each. I got loads for Christmas I just now need to grow my nails, which seems like an impossible plan, forever nail biting! :-( Or pop over to boots and grab a box of false nails, which seems like the more sensible option. The Vivo nail polishes can be found in Tesco for £1 each and the are really good for how inexpensive they are! I'm going to do my favourite polishes at the end of every month, if you enjoyed reading these let me know. If not I will not continue you do so. Hope you have a lovely day!

First it was Cam Newton with the sexist jab at female journalist Jourdan Rodrigue. Now, nbcsports.com reports that Philly sports radio host Mike Missanelli has been cut loose by Philadelphia's ABC affiliate for a sexist comment about Beth Mowins doing the play-by-play on Monday Night Football.
Here's what Missanelli said: "I don't know why the sporting world needs a female play-by-play person on an NFL game. And I know that sounds harsh, and I just want to know what is the reason for it," Missanelli said two days after Mowins called a Week One game. "It just to me sounds unnatural for her to be calling the NFL. Now, in college, it sounds sort of unnatural as well. But I can live with college. But this is prime time, Monday Night Football. I didn't catch a lot of the game. Was she good? If she did a good job, then I'm wrong."
With the NFL's popularity sinking, this was the last thing the sport needed. And it's not something we need in radio either.

I am completely astounded by the amount of support gained for a Brisbane couple whose advertisement for Rip&Roll condoms was pulled by Adshel. It was deemed to be promoting an risky and unhealthy type of sex, and apparently depicted "an act of foreplay".
The photo in fact does nothing of the sort; the two men are fully clothed and merely sharing a loving embrace, while many ads of near-naked women go unnoticed in this day and age.
The indignant couple created an event on facebook that was used to rally support against the homophobic move, and it currently has a whopping 59,767 attendees, and counting. In fact, in the time it has taken me to write this blog post, the number has increased by another 4000 people!
Facebook users that showed support for the reinstatement of the ad were called upon to complain to Adshel, in the form of phone calls, email, writing, or anyway they saw fit.
And success! The decision to pull the ads has been reversed due to the overwhelming amount of complaints and the revelation that the original complaint was in fact homophobic, and conducted in representation of the Australian Christian Lobby.
If this isn't proof of the fact that internet users can be mobilised to form a strong political community within hours, then I don't know what is. The democratic access to ideas that social networking mediums such as Facebook allow is something that I'm incredibly grateful for. It is so great that not only were we able to make an impact in the real world through collective cyberspace action, but the discussion and debate that this event has sparked is sensational. It has brought homophobia back on the table as a political issue, and adds fuel to the fight for gay marriage rights and equality. Go internets!

Got the blues?
Blue is a wonderful color to use in the home. Its calming effect makes it a great wall color for the bathroom and bedroom, but have you ever thought about using this hue in the kitchen? Read on and be inspired by these blue kitchen design ideas to use in your own home.
- For a modern look in a traditional kitchen, think about using a white or cream palette and adding a pop of color a la blue frameless cabinets. The custom blue paint color in this home looks fresh when paired with light cabinets, stainless steel appliances and rustic wood flooring.
- If blue cabinets are a little out of your comfort zone, consider using a blue tiled backsplash instead. These large-format blue mosaic tiles pair nicely with dark frameless cabinets and shelving. The white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and metal cabinet handles and drawer pulls add a touch of sophistication while a single white paneled cabinet adds an extra dose of funk to the design.
- If you decide to use a dark blue paint color on kitchen walls, keep the rest of the space bright with light wood, frameless cabinets and a light colored marble countertop and backsplash. White trim along the baseboard of the room, glass paneled cabinet drawers and minimal window coverings keep the space from feeling dreary.

Oh, would that I were a flock of blackbirds, the next iteration of the dinosaur wheeling in the sky in unknowable formation, instead of a pseudo-intellectual kid who has to decide in which city she wants to spend the next x number of years.
Oh, would that I were the cloud of steam rising from a power plant, lit from below and within by yellow mercury lights, instead of a sentient being that can't see itself from the outside.
Oh, would that I were the cancer and the cure, invisible and paradoxical, instead of just paradoxical and left here to try to resolve it all.

A possible case of the deadly Ebola virus has been identified at a hospital near Miami, NBC 6 reports.
Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention made the announcement on Monday.
Later on Monday, on a press call with reporters, the CDC clarified that the patient was "low-risk" and that state health authorities had already found a negative result for Ebola. A specimen from the patient was on the way to a CDC laboratory for confirmatory testing of that negative result.
The patient is being treated.
So while it's not clear whether this is a confirmed case of the virus that has killed thousands in West Africa, the CDC's update suggests that Ebola is highly unlikely. Many relatively common diseases have symptoms that look similar to those associated with Ebola.
In August, a widely publicized "possible" Ebola case in New York City was quickly forgotten after the patient in question tested negative.
The death toll for Ebola has passed 2,000.
West African countries are trying desperately to contain the disease, but it's still spreading. CDC officials have said the outbreak is "spiraling out of control."
Ebola begins with flu-like symptoms, but it then escalates into vomiting, diarrhea, and often bleeding.
This post was updated with new information from the CDC.

Rickard Family // Utah Lake
Alli and are are co-workers together and when I met her about a year ago, I thought she was just a really nice person. As a new employee, I was such a nub and didn't know ANYTHING! I was always asking her and another girl questions all the time. She would always response super nice and very helpful. She pretty much saved my job because of her willingness to help. Then when she went on maternity leave I realize AH one of my security blankets wont be there! That was a time where I really had to think more through things, but I knew that if I really did even have a question, she would answer it, even being on maternity leave. Guess what? I actually had to ask her a few questions. I was really glad to see her come back after her long maternity leave. She is just awesome and very beautiful!
Alli's husband, Shane is a WAY into video and photography, so I felt a little pressure taking their pictures knowing he would probably be more particular than others. He really enjoyed video and has a sweet camera to match with it!
Thank you Richard family for letting me taking your family pictures! It was just so beautiful on the lake, it totally looked like the ocean to me! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

A thesis project slated for completion in May that explores what it's like to be a member of Viking society in medieval Scandinavia.
Vikingr is a social game for iOS where players compete to accumulate wealth and renown by farming, trading, sailing, raiding, and politicking. Players form bonds with each other through marriage, trade, fostering children, and exchanging gifts, and such alliances represent important obligations. If another player harasses you or insults your clan, it's up to you and your social network to make things right—by law or by iron.

Menstrual pads changing a life? Really?
In Canada, menstrual protection is pretty easy.
When we run out, we just head over to our local Shopper's Drug Mart to pick up what we need. It is really that simple. (Don't you love that Shopper's is pretty much the same all over Canada?)
Unfortunately many girls and women around the world do not have access to this same protection... and the consequences are surprisingly serious. Many girls have no choice but to drop out of school because of their lack of personal hygiene resources, and therefore they miss out on receiving an education. This "small" problem can define these girls' lives.
Here are four key ways in which menstrual pads can change a life.
- Girls between the ages of 12-15 are free to go to school and receive an education. UN statistics show that with menstrual protection, attendance at school increases by 75%.
- Girls marry later and subsequently delay having children. Their children tend to be healthier.
- With an education, girls have more career options and they will make on average an income that is 25% higher.
- With sustainable work girls experience independence and healthier relationships.
Is this not crazy?
Thankfully, there are people around the world that have seen this problem and made it a personal passion. You will have to wait until next week's blog post (sorry...I think they call this a "teaser") but at ZOE Projects we want to help provide menstrual protection for girls and women in Africa.
Stay tuned...we will be announcing an initiative next week...it is going to be great!
