How does it work?

This will determine the shape, thickness and desired look that you want. At this stage i will also test colours on your skin to ensure the correct tone is used. During the treatment it is paramount to me that you are comfortable throughout, so numbing agents are used 15-30mins prior to the start of treatment.
Using the latest digital technology, i will trace over the pre drawn markings allowing the pigments to go into the desired area.
All appointments procedures will take 1-2 hrs & aftercare products are included in the prices.

The heartbroken sister of butchered heroin dealer Christopher Gaffney yesterday broke her silence about her murdered brother and begged for an end to gangland violence.
Grief-striken Rachel Gaffney spoke out to beg pals of her mutilated brother not to seek revenge for his killing.
Convicted criminal Gaffney, known as Gaffo, was found brutally murdered and chopped into pieces in a field in Clonee, Co Meath, on November 1.
Breaking her silence yesterday, heartbroken Rachel begged for an end to the gruesome gangland violence that has blighted our streets – and described her murdered brother as a gentle dad with a huge heart.
She told pals on Facebook: "Keep Chris's memory alive and help stop murder and bloodshed on our streets.
"Chris's heart was so big he even gave 2 those he didn't know, who's own so called family wouldn't help them and that's a fact. I saw it with my own eyes.
"You just know when a person hasn't a bad bone in their body, he was even kind 2 animals that's how you know.
"So I'm not listening 2 anyone. Stuff their presumptions. Love you CHRIS."
Rachel reported her brother missing six weeks ago when he disappeared without a trace from their native Blanchardstown in West Dublin.
But his mysterious disappearance came to a grisly end when a dog walker found a severed arm in a ditch at The Mayne in Clonee.
And the Gaffney family's worst nightmare came true when fingerprints taken from the limb confirmed it belonged to the 34-year-old heroin dealer.
Follow-up searches led to the gruesome discovery of a torso and other body parts as gardai launched a murder inquiry and revealed Gaffney had met a very violent death.
Detectives believe Gaffney was butchered by a Finglas thug over claims he helped dump the body of a murdered teen.
It isn't clear when exactly he vanished but it's understood his sister reported him missing on October 1.
Sources claimed the deterioration of the body parts suggests they were exposed for a number of weeks and detectives are working on the theory he was murdered as soon as he disappeared.
But so far no one has been arrested for the murder and chillingly Gaffney's head has still not been found.
The Manchester United fanatic – who had been described as one of Dublin's "main heroin suppliers" – had a string of convictions for selling the deadly drug, possession of ecstasy and burglary.
In 2001, he was jailed for five years after he was caught on a bike delivering heroin to dealers who worked for him on O'Connell Street.
Gaffney, who has a teenage daughter, was before the courts in 2011 charged with possession of a gun and ammunition.

The challenge was unenviable: to rebuild trust in Malaysia Airlines after a baffling aviation mystery involving the disappearance of one of its planes, and the downing of another over Ukraine.
The brand's reputation was severely dented in Australia and New Zealand given that both incidents had affected people from those countries. The aim was to regain people's trust, improve flagging bookings and position Malaysia as an appealing destination for travel.
The main target customers were affluent business travellers. The brand's advertising budget was modest, meaning the campaign had to work hard. The strategy was based on advocacy: the goal was to mobilise third-party support and encourage respected outlets to champion the brand. The first masterstroke was also the most difficult: securing Australia's favourite Malaysia-connected celebrities as airline partners—Masterchef runner-up and TV presenter Poh Ling Yeow, and rising tennis star Nick Kyrgios. Getting them involved was crucial for positive public perception. Poh presented a series of online travelogues under the banner 'My Malaysia, my airline', while the airline maximised its partnership with Kyrgios for customers with tennis clinics, meet and greets and hospitality at the Australian Tennis Open.
The agency also undertook benchmarking research on behalf of the airline to measure perception, addressed media desire for a story on rebuilding the brand, provided 24/7 issues management, undertook a sustained media and blogger campaign promoting new developments within the business, and leveraged the airline's sponsorship of shoe designer Jimmy Choo's trip to Perth to attend a fashion think-tank, underscoring a desire to build closer ties between both countries.
It's still early, but passenger numbers are now ahead of what they were prior to the disappearance of MH370. Australia and New Zealand are performing better for the airline than before the disasters, which is a remarkable outcome in two highly competitive markets.
In Singapore competition in the higher education sector is intense with six universities fighting for the top students.
However, research uncovered a low awareness of NTU's strengths, both among digitally connected prospective students and their parents, who favored mainstream media.
To change these perceptions NTU had to show it was a global university on the rise, with research breakthroughs, top-notch professors, successful graduates and world-class partners.
To do this the in-house team created a new integrated multi-media platform called HEY! focusing on punchy, human-interest articles across print, online and social media. These stories were also pitched to the mainstream media and online youth sites.
Students were heavily involved in written and digital production, resulting in a paradigm shift away from stories that NTU wanted to tell to ones the target audience was genuinely interested in.
Across the four communications pillars, the project surpassed the objective of having at least 70 percent positive perceptions of NTU.
Compared to 2010, earned media increased by 45 percent in 2014, 57 percent in 2013, 53 percent in 2012 and 24 percent in 2011.
For paid media, the number of people who viewed NTU positively after seeing admissions ads jumped from 71 percent to 87 percent, while 9 out of 10 people said they had a positive opinion after experiencing owned media.
More impressively, though, is the leap in the number of top A-Level students joining NTU, up 83 percent last year compared with 2011.
Many Australians hold several misconceptions about Singapore, believing it to be boring, a concrete jungle, lacking in culture and a destination just for business travelers.
From an earned and social media perspective, the idea of the "real Singapore" had not been introduced to give consumers a reason to rethink their views about the destination and consider visiting.
The broad target audience consisted of any Australian considering booking a trip during April 2014.
Agency consumer research identified that Australians like to explore a destination just like a local, getting off-the-beaten track to discover a city's culture, food scene, attractions, precincts and the great outdoors. This lead to the creation of the Singapore Celebrity Concierge – a first-of-its-kind VIP travel service, which invited Australians to have their Singapore holiday masterminded by some of Australia's most-loved personalities.
Australians were asked to sign up to the YourSingapore Facebook page to book a Skype call with an ambassador who acted as celebrity travel Agent or download an app that included the celebrity's interactive tips, so Aussies could build their own itinerary.
The campaign led to 335 pieces of earned media across a 6-week period with a total audience circulation of 54,604,683. Almost 10,000 new fans signed up to the YourSingapore Facebook page during the campaign and 3,548 consumers interacted with the app.
Facebook- related campaign posts over the six-week period received 1,015 shares, 1,289 comments and 11,292 post likes.

The 3 Categories of Water Damage
When you experience a water damage emergency in your home or property, it is important to know the category of the water. This will help you to understand which type of water is causing the damage and how unsafe it may be. There are three categories of water that predominantly refer to its source and the microbes and contaminants that the water may contain.
Knowing these categories and understanding the varying levels of damage and contamination that they cause is important in understanding the appropriate drying techniques to use as well as what items and materials can be repaired and what cannot. Here are some simple ways to figure out what type of flood damage you have on your property.
Category 1: Clean Water Damage
Clean water refers to any water that comes from a clean source in your home. This includes water supply lines. Damage can come from these supply lines breaking, from a sink or tub overflowing or a toilet tank that has broken. Clean water often comes from a source that is not harmful if humans or pets are exposed to it.
Category 2: Gray Water Damage
Gray water, on the other hand, is not necessarily safe to be exposed to. This category often has a considerable amount of physical, biological or chemical contaminants. Some sources of gray water include: water discharge from washing machines or dishwashers, toilets or sump pump failure.
Category 3: Black Water Damage
As you may assume by the name, black water is the most hazardous and contaminated of the three categories. Black water contains a higher level of physical, chemical or biological contaminants. This can include organic contaminants such as harmful bacteria, fungi and other microbes. In homes, the most common source of this can be sewage and standing/stagnant water. It can however come from seawater, overflow from rivers and streams as well as ground surface water.
At 3D Environmental, we strongly urge that any flood restoration be handled by a professional. if you find that you are dealing with flood or water damage from an unsafe source, do not hesitate to give us a call. We are certified in flood damage restoration and would love to help you get your home back in order.

Put your $$ where it's needed
Scribbled down on May 19th, 2009 by she
Posted in Flan-dom, Random Burbling, Reading Begets Enlightenment
Ok, so we all know I'm a big fan of Twitter and charity. I'm especially fond of charities that promote learning (#Tweetsgiving & #Tweetluck come to mind), reading (Kids Need to Read), and foodbanks. Charities that give people a hand up when needed hold a special place in my heart.
Recently I've been able to combine these two loves as the #yeg community has started responding to local needs.
First up was @SirThinks foodbank challenge. Many may not remember back in the day when a number of military members lined up at foodbanks because they couldn't afford to both house and feed their families. Former CDS Hillier refers to that period in the CF as the "days of darkness". I doubt many CF members who lived and worked through it would disagree. We were fortunate enough not to need the services of a foodbank at that time but there were days when we'd be sorely tempted. While we've donated over the years, when @SirThinks posted his 200 items for school lunch challenge on Twitter last week we couldn't resist picking up the guantlet.
That event got @SirThinks and I thinking about other ways to support local foodbanks in a more formal manner through Twitter. The near weekly #yegsafetymtgs (nobody works, nobody gets hurt) seemed like the perfect place to launch a collection for the local foodbank. All that remains is to iron out the details.
As I've babbled many times over the year(s), I'm a big fan of a charity co-founded by Edmonton's own Capt Tightpants, Nathan Fillion. Kids Need to Read purchases books for children's school libraries – often in the poorest districts – to foster learning, imagination, and a love of reading. The charity was co-founded with PJ Haarsma, an author of books for young adults. Tonight I was once again Tweeting about my wish to hold a fundraiser in the #yeg Twitter community for this organization and luckily for me, marketing and promotions chica extrordinaire @Out_Inc has taken up the guantlet. My continual whining has inspired her to consider promoting one charity event that the #yeg Twitter community can sponsor at a #yegsafetymtg each month.
The timing couldn't be better. The second part of #TwilightYEG, @ZoomJer's fundraiser for local womens shelters is taking place tomorrow night. The first half – collecting tips through charity bartending at LUX – raised just over $400 towards the $3000 goal. Hope we surpass it tomorrow evening.

Regular readers may recall that we recently won an auction to "name a crappy town where you're the hero". Many towns were available on a number of planets. Our town is on Persephone.
The auction concept was based on an episode of our favourite show and funds raised are going to support CSTS's Equality Now fundraiser.
We're still waiting to hear if our Crappy Town name for the upcoming QMx map of the 'verse is acceptable. Haven't really thought of a possible second choice so keep your fingers and toes crossed that option one makes it pastthe cutting room floor (and FOX lawyers).

It's getting harder for Nike to keep the worst-kept secret on the putting green these days, as its Nike Victory Red putter keeps showing up atop the leaderboard and, consequently, across your television.
Of course, the Nike Victory Red putter doesn't officially exist, despite the fact that Lucas Glover was using one yesterday during his near triumph at Quail Hollow. Lucas Glover's putter is the new Nike prototype with a distinctive red face groove pattern that is easily identified under the bright lights of Sunday tournament coverage.
If the putter looked familiar to you, it was because Paul Casey used the same prototype to win the Shell Houston Open four weeks ago. Trevor Immelman has been spotted using a mid-mallet version, too.
Officially, the putter is just a prototype without a name, and Nike remains tight-lipped regarding any details.
But as PutterZone.com observed recently, evidence is mounting that this new putter will fall under the banner of Victory Red, which is currently limited to Nike's new line of irons and putters.
With Nike apparently phasing out its high-end Unitized putter line, and with its new prototype scrorching the greens on the PGA Tour, don't be surprised if this new creation comes out of the "Oven" (the nickname for Nike's R&D facility) soon to a store near you.

A million Internet years ago, Jamie Keiles, an 18-year-old high school senior from Pennsylvania, decided to live her life according to Seventeen Magazine for an entire month. I thought the idea behind The Seventeen Magazine Project was fascinating, which is why six (!) years later I'm attempting my own mini version.
For some reason or another, I have a free subscription to Seventeen, and I'll idly flip through pages when I should really be doing something productive. But, then, I realized reading Seventeen could be counted as research if I blogged about it. I love it when laziness and productivity collide.
While issues of Seventeen frequently found a home in my room during high school and college, things get a bit awkward when I'm caught reading them now. I mean, I'm in my early 30's. I should only be reading O and Redbook.
But… teen magazines are still my guilty pleasure. While I may not know who all the cover stars are, I still enjoy the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle advice tucked away in the magazine's pages. I put three issues to the test, and here are the results…
Life According to Seventeen Magazine…
I didn't need Seventeen to tell me to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but I appreciated the confirmation that my reading selections are still on par with those of high school girls. I don't think this surprises anybody. My love for the Harry Potter series (and YA in general) is no secret. Go here to see what I thought about the new book.
Experiment: Success.
When I first started blogging, I was really into nail art. Then, adderall order online us life happened, and now, I'm happy when I can find the time to paint my nails at all. What I really like about this lapis nail art is how easy it is. It's practically fool proof. Layer and swirl is the name of the game, and the result is so pretty.
Experiment: Success.
While flares are slowly creeping back into everyone's closet, skinny jeans are still my go-to. The August issue of Seventeen is all about the denim – from skirts to jackets to jeans. Here's my take on How to Look Effortlessly Cool in Distressed Denim.
Experiment: Success.
The struggle is real when it comes to warm-weather beauty. Braids are recommended as an alternative to the basic ponytail, but I think I am officially too old for braids or at least too old for these double French braids. Give me a ponytail or a messy bun any day.
Experiment: Fail.
Since the lapis nail art was so successful, I had to try some back-to-school nail art. However, these Lisa Frank-esque nails were a lot of work, and my nails didn't look nearly as cool as the model's.
Experiment: Fail.
Taking a page from the September issue of Seventeen, I decided to turn my closet into cash. The magazine recommended Poshmark, and after getting my first sale, I'm very happy I followed their advice. Although, I'm still trying to decide which service I like the best: Poshmark, Tradesy, or ThredUp.
Experiment: Success.

Just as it is with most famous people, Stand-up comedian Basket Mouth complains that fame has stripped him of his privacy and peace of mind.
Well, fame comes with a price and most popular people have looked for a way to manage it. Following some robbers' intrude into the house of the comedian in Lagos, which left his family and friends quite devastated, Basket Mouth hinted that he is somewhat happy to be in a situation where he has been deemed fit to steal from.

Basketmouth says one of the disadvantages of being popular is being careful about everything and that has deprived him of a regular life.
In a publication by Punch Newspaper released on Saturday, September 24, 2016, Basket Mouth said fate brought him to where he is now and he is grateful to God for making him rich and famous.
"I have been robbed of my privacy and the freedom I had. The fact that I must be very careful with everything I say and do is a bit of a pressure. However, I wouldn't trade the journey for anything. I won't change a thing.
"I feel blessed because I know that the life we have can be taken for granted sometimes. I always thank God for every second, minute, hour, day, month and year I witness.
"Turning 38 is amazing and I pray that God will continue to bless me with more years in great health, happiness, favour and more. I thank God for everything especially when I look back to where I am coming from, it is really humbling where God has placed me and where he is taking me to. I am grateful for everything."

I've been talking to this guy for awhile now. A couple months. He's stopped talking to me before and he always comes back a few days to a week later saying he misses me. This time, he kept saying he has strong feelings for me and it scares him. But, yesterday, New Years day, he stopped speaking to me around 3 in the afternoon. And hasn't spoken a word to me sense. I don't want to jump to conclusions, and I never bother him at all when he does this. I've always learned not to chase them because it pushes them away and to let him come to me, he will when he's ready. I guess I'm. Just confused and concerned that I'm not the only one he says this to.
If he says he has strong feelings but randomly stops talking to me, what does that mean?

Is he just a friend or a guy you are dating? 😊00|00|0
He's a guy that I've been seeing. We aren't officially dating, but we've talked about it.
To be honest I was the same as the guy you're seeing. . I was seeing a guy but I kept pulling away because I liked him a hell of a lot more than I admitted to. I told him I had strong feelings for him, but I was actually falling for him. It scared me because I didn't want to get hurt.
I would distance myself thinking my strong feelings would fade. I thought if my feelings faded I wouldn't feel so scared, but the pain I went through due to missing him overpowered the fear of being with him
Maybe it's similar in his case. People usually pull away and act as though they are indecisive... not because they don't care , but they have a fear of getting hurt. If he's been hurtin the past he may be scared of ever going through that pain again, so remains guarded by distancing himself. Obviously he can't bare to be without you in his life because he keeps coming back.

Complicated story, but just looking for some female perspective. Hooking up (nothing heavy) at parties. Girl wants to go home with the guy but she was drunk and he said no. Guy ask girl when sober and she had felt rejected before and says no. Lot of tension and unsure of each other, but still hook up at parties. A lot of interest on her part still per others. The Second to last party Another hook up, but I later found out she just started seeing someone. The last party she was supposed to attend she did not.
This new relationship will not last, he was the guy she would go to for an explanation of me. At the last party we were both at he lived 3 blocks away, but she went home with a girlfriend 45 min away. If you were in a new relationship would you go home to him or a girlfriends. I have no intention to break them up, but how do I keep her interest while they are dating. Also, their dating is not public knowledge, I go it from another girlfriend of hers.
Most Helpful Girl
Don't count on them breaking up, honestly, especially if they were friends before. If you care that much, you need to tell her how you feel, whether she's in a relationship or not, and explain why you rejected her before. Otherwise she will be even more confused if you continue to show signs of liking her (which is inevitable, I think) when she already tried to go home with you. You guys need to sit down and figure out who's confused and why, and sort it out. If she's not confused at all, you need to trust that she is making an informed decision no matter if it burns out or continues and goes well. It's possible that she's attracted to you, but doesn't want to date you. But don't try to keep her interested, sit down and disclose everything (yes, feelings) and if she was at all interested to begin with, that should be enough to make her think or leave the guy. But don't tease her trying to keep her interested in you while with this other guy.00|00|0

Silver ratios, Cardano's formula, and visual model of the second atomic shell
International Journal of Development Research
Silver ratios, Cardano's formula, and visual model of the second atomic shell
This work is devoted to geometrical research of the ray trajectories system. We consider trajectories of electrons moving in the second shell of an atom. The proposed model of movement of electrons is based on the geometrical interpretation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle and the geometric interpretation of distribution of electrons in energy levels, shells, and subshells of atoms in Mendeleev's periodic table. It turned out that the second shell can be described by a cubic equation, Cardano's formula, and a new system of triangles as well. We present some new geometric ratios - silver ratios - between the elements of our model and the triangle system (the ratios between the sides, angles and areas of triangles). In the paper, we show that it is possible to describe atomic shells geometrically using complex numbers, and generalize our approach to geometric interpretation of the rest atomic shells. In the Appendix we apply the silver ratios to show the images of a silver parallelepiped and examples of silver houses and we compare our trajectories system with trajectories of car driving.

Coaches often tell teams to ''act like they've been there before'' after a big win.
That wasn't a line available to Mike Ediger on Friday night, though.
Ediger's Westminster Christian football team picked up the first win in school history, pounding fellow first-year program Mt. Pisgah 42-8 in Cobb County.
And while the Lions (1-5) still won't finish anywhere near .500, picking up a win was a welcome reward for a season of hard work and hard knocks.
more Lovie columns
''We definitely knew we could play with this team,'' Ediger said. ''I talked to several coaches who said, 'You guys can beat them.' ''
Westminster Christian led 21-0 after the first quarter, and Ediger was able to pull some of his starters late in the game - although several players on the 19-man roster had to stay out there.
That Mt. Pisgah is 0-8 and hasn't scored more than eight points in a game likely won't do much to dull the luster of the win. The Lions have struggled in blowouts, including a 73-12 loss to John Hancock Academy on Oct. 3.
But Ediger said the blowouts aren't as bad as they've looked, and the Lions' pass-happy offense is partially to ''blame.''
With Westminster Christian throwing the ball a lot, the clock stops often. That, in turn, has given opponents more opportunities to punch in more scores.
Ediger is building largely around a small core of freshmen like Brian Holloway, Gresham Cash, Robert Farnsworth and quarterback Gavin Chapman.
The team will play a GISA Class A region schedule next year, and perhaps more importantly for morale, will have five home games.
No one's here? Let's go eat
The Oconee County volleyball team finished Area 8-AAAAA play undefeated - but it took five more days than the Lady Warriors expected.
According to team representative Victoria Blanton, Oconee County traveled to Berkmar to play Berkmar and Shiloh last Thursday, only to discover an empty gym.
The match had to be rescheduled for Tuesday and Oconee County won both in three games.
All was not lost on Thursday though. Blanton said in an e-mail ''the Warriors headed home and stopped at Joe's Crab Shack for some food.''
Hopefully the crab legs were worth the trip.
All-city cross country teams announced
The 18th annual Athens all-city teams were named at the conclusion of Tuesday's city championship cross country meet at Southeast Clarke Park.
Boys team members were Daniel Elder of Clarke Central (16:51), Justin Smith of Athens Academy (17:14), Seth Deaton of Athens Academy (17:37), Lawrence Jones of Clarke Central (17:52), Kevin Bradley of Cedar Shoals (18:07), Shea McCutcheon of Clarke Central (18:18) and Thomas Johnson of Athens Academy (18:32).
Girls team members were Kate Wanner of Athens Academy (21:08), Dorothy Todd of Athens Academy (21:33), Cimber Cummings of Athens Christian (22:49), Elizabeth Simmons of Athens Academy (22:57), Leigh Nash of Athens Christian (23:08), Allison Duncan of Cedar Shoals (23:22) and Kelsey Allen of Athens Academy (23:35).
Area teams in state rankings
The Oconee County volleyball team moved two spots to eighth in this week's GeorgiaVolleyball.com all-classification poll.
In softball, Morgan County remained No. 1 in Class AA in the GaFastPitch.net poll, and Oglethorpe County remained No. 5. Jackson County moved to No. 7 in Class AAAA.
In cross country rankings posted on gatfxc.com, Athens Academy's boys are ranked second in Class A, leading a handful of area teams included in the rankings. Other teams ranked include three Class A girls teams, Athens Academy (third), Athens Christian (fourth) and Jefferson (fifth), the Stephens County boys (ninth in Class AAA) and the Clarke Central boys (ninth in Class AAAA).
In the individual rankings, Smith and Deaton are 2-3 in Class A boys, while teammate Thomas Johnson is sixth. Elder is fourth in Class AAAA, Stephens County's Kevin Haynes is fifth in Class AAA, and Oconee County's Andrew Grant is 10th in Class AAAAA.
Wanner (sixth) and Todd (ninth) are the only area girls in the top 10.

- Less Competition
I've seen crowds get really intense at some thrift stores. I'm talking shoving, pushing and people generally losing their minds at the thought of what they might find. Well, in general you don't have to deal with that intensity in sleepy towns. I remember the first time I checked out Udelco vintage warehouse in Hawthorne, New Jersey. It's a massive space of cheap vintage pieces and even on a Saturday afternoon, I was just one of five or six people there. When you're not dealing with pushing and shoving, you can take your time and really enjoy the shopping experience.
- Unique, Quirky Picks
Of course you never know what you'll find when you go thrifting. The inventory is constantly changing regardless of where you go. But I do think smaller towns tend to have more interesting, unique and even quirky clothes and accessories. And I don't mean "interesting" in a bad way, but clothes that have serious character and details and have been donated by women who had amazing wardrobes in the 60s, 70s, etc.
- Cheaper
Some thrift shops in major areas aren't exactly cheap. Remember my post on Have Thrift Stores Become Too Expensive? $20 for an average, non-designer secondhand dress is just ridiculous to me. But in smaller areas, the savings are endless. You can't beat tops for less than $1 and 2-for-1 sales. The dress above was a few dollars from a shop in Ohio.

Sadly, in our culture, the word "fence" has come to mean anything that limits one's personal freedom. But as we'll see today, being a Christian is not a life sentence of following restricting rules. Listen now and see how it's really freedom from the bondage of sin.

Running the Preakness at Pimlico is a major economic boost for the Park Heights community, the City of Baltimore, and the metropolitan area.
The Maryland Stadium Authority has commissioned a study to evaluate Pimlico's ability to serve as the permanent home of the Preakness Stakes. The Authority built Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium. Consequently, its work is highly regarded. If the report recommends that the Preakness remain at Pimlico, it would create the justification and the momentum to do so.
To get the Stadium Authority to undertake this project, I brought together representatives of the Maryland Jockey Club, the Racing Commission, the City of Baltimore, and the Stadium Authority. There hasn't been a World Series game in Baltimore since 1983, but the Preakness is run every year. With a favorable report this fall, that will be the case for decades to come.

I'll be your breath if you can be mine.
Awards: 81
Apr 5 2017, 02:25 AM LINK
Where are you from?: I'm from a small country called Belgium, the Flemish region to be exact!
How old are you?: Atm I'm 21, but I'll turn 22 this summer.
What do you occupy your time with during the day?: I'm mostly busy with university work, sadly. But in between crying about papers and essays, I love to talk to friends on skype too. Mostly everything that doesn't include going outside, basically.
What are three of your favorite things to do for fun?: My favourite activity is cosplay, even though that hobby mostly consists of tears as well. So making costumes, wearing them, and spending time with my friends at conventions is what I really enjoy doing on a regular basis. Idk if that counts as three things, but I'll add drawing and writing in the mix as well x3.
Favorite book?: Oh god that's a difficult one, especially because most books I've been reading lately are from a series. The first in the Gentleman Bastard series, the Lies of Locke Lamora is def up there amongst my favourites, but I also cannot not mention the Raven Cycle books either.
Favorite movie?: It's a very close tie between The Road to El Dorado and Inglourious Basterds. I like a lot of things with the word bastard in it apparently. It's obvious I don't like rooting for the purest good guys.
How long have you been on WR?: This Summer I can officially say it's been 6 years. Don't regret a single second of it!
What are some of your favorite things about WR?: The people, definitely! Like even when I'm not Wurring, I'm still talking to some of you guys every day. I made some lovely friends here, it's amazing. Also just….the characters? How other people's kids can bring out the best in mine, or the worst. How you just plot for hours to create beautiful storylines and get ideas you wouldn't get on your own. it's that group effort of writing something together and sharing inspiration, instead of you just doing it for/all by yourself.
Anything else you'd like us to know about you?: uhh...I can do the Vulcan salute with my right hand, but not my left, even though I am left handed?
Now, let's talk about your characters awhile:
How many characters do you have? I got nine, if you include Max as a character too c:
Do you want to have more? There are still two on my list of ones I really want. The future is a fickle thing, however, I might add a few more. Who knows. Although taking care of all the children is quite a task, so hopefully there won't be too many new additions to the family.
What are some cool threads they are currently involved into? Okay so, Jinx and I have been threading this since last summer so it isn't exactly new, but the chubs thread at Bora Bora,Do you remember summer? where they will have their first kiss is still my favourite thing ever. It isn't exactly cool, more the sticky sweet variety of teenage love. We both put a lot of love and effort into that thread, and after all this time it's still ongoing and my fav ok.
Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about them?: Tbh, I can talk about my kids and their planned arcs for aaaages.
Where did your inspiration for Maximilian come from? I like characters that are just a tad eccentric, and that's mostly something I also tend to associate with wandmakers. In my head it just sounds like a trade that needs someone who listens, and lets the wands talk while they put them all together. I just took that a step further and made a guy who thinks the wands talk to him. Oops.
What's your favourite part about wandmaking?
Do you already have a most memorable wand? Gretchen's is by far my favourite! It was a challenge to make something that consisted of cores that couldn't have been harvested illegally by the Nilssons, while also keeping it true to her character. It had to fit in all the right ways, and I'm so overjoyed Robin loves it to pieces!
Do you have a favourite wandcore or wood? I'm a nostalgic sucker when I say I love Hemlock the most when it comes to wood. I found Wurr through the wandguide when creating the perfect wand for my HP oc back then (Xavier, obviously) and hemlock just immediately fit. It was my first wandwood, and I adore how well it still matches even after all those years.
As far as cores go, Glumbumble honey is my unbeatable favourite. I haven't had the chance to use it yet, as it's so specific. I am just dying to create a wand that is the exact opposite of character, only to make it match perfectly with that one core. Just the idea of it reversing all attributes of the other core is very exciting for some reason?
Tell us a fun fact about Maximilian! He has a habit of naming things to give them a bit of personality. You know, like naming a car sort of, but with everyday objects from kitchen appliances to the orchids on his windowsill. His favourite wands have names too! It's why he is also interested in things that don't need names but have them anyway, like the Notre Dame church bells for example.

Mr. Saucy had a birthday recently. He's not much on going out to eat…somehow, I do believe that man has gotten spoiled; he just never gets a hankerin' for eatin' out food. So, I decided, "Saucy," I said, "You need to make that darlin' a pasta dish for his birthday dinner…he just loves pasta." And since stuffed shells is one of his very favorite things, that's just what I made.
But, considering it was his birthday, I figured I needed to make it a little more special than my normal stuffed shells…so I made homemade ricotta. Before you start handin' me some fancy award for meritorious wifely behavior, I have to say, homemade ricotta is the easiest thing to make. Ever. Just don't tell Mr. Saucy that…since I won some extra points for the effort!
You don't have to make homemade ricotta, but heck, why not look the hero? Here's how you do it:
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar (or lemon juice) (or ½ teaspoon of citric acid)
- 12 jumbo shells, cooked and drained.
- 2 cups of fresh (or store-bought) ricotta
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- ½ cup mozzarella, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chiffonade and diced
- ¼ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups of your favorite marinara sauce
- Set a large sieve over a deep bowl.
- Dampen 2 layers of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with the cheesecloth.
- Pour the milk and cream into a stainless-steel pot.
- Stir in the salt.
- Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar.
- Allow the mixture to stand for 1 minute until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
- Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes, occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl.
- The longer you let the mixture drain, the thicker the ricotta.
- Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining whey. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.*
- Cook the shells according to the package instructions.
- Drain in a colander.
- Set aside.
- Place the remaining ingredients into the bowl containing the ricotta.
- Stir until completely mixed.
- Stuff the cooked shells with the cheese and herb mixture and place into a greased casserole dish with the open side facing up.
- Pour 1 cups of the marinara around the shells (reserving the remaining 2 cups, hot in a sauce pan).
- Bake in a 350 degree oven until bubbly.
- Plate the shells and drizzle with the remaining marinara.
I prefer to use the citric acid because I think it works a bit better than vinegar or lemon juice. Be sure to note the different measurement if you're using citric acid.
I browned some pieces of sweet Italian Sausage because, well…it's really not a meal to Mr. Saucy if it doesn't have meat of some sort. I left it off my plate and so can you.
Check out the ricotta making photos below…you'll see how easy it is to do! I also included photos of the shell assembly.
Buon compleanno, Mr. Saucy!

Actor Josh Brolin has been involved in classic geek films since his first major role in The Goonies. Most actors are lucky and talented enough to get just one iconic movie on their resume. Brolin was nominated for an Oscar for No Country For Old Men and he just added [Guardians of the Galaxy](movie:424073), as his latest participation in iconic filmmaking. He is signed to a multiple picture deal with Marvel and all signs are pointing to an epic appearance in the third Avengers film. In a recent interview with IGN, Brolin explains that he has a tiny part of the master plan:
"I know what one appearance is going to be for sure. There's one or two that I don't know."
Brolin has secured the role of Thanos, the ultimate villain in the Marvel universe. While it may be years before we get to see what Thanos is truly capable of, it is exciting that an actor of Brolin's caliber is so invested in the material. Here he explains his growing enthusiasm:
"So I'm in the learning stages that is really exciting. When I first said yes, they sent me so much frickin' research. I was in the middle of doing Everest, and I was focusing more on Thanos than I was on Everest. But it's an exciting prospect, truly."
Brolin was asked if he was nervous about signing a multi-picture deal with Marvel. A big comittment considering that his character's main arc has yet to be actually scripted. This is what he had to say:
"Having done different series and all that, it's like doing the best series you could ever do," Brolin said when asked if he hesitated to sign on for multiple films. "You know you're taken care of, you know the manifestations are good, you these people are at the top of their game. I've been involved in series where I couldn't wait to play a character and watch the character go through this trajectory, and then you would say, 'Why would you do that?' Like, you're doing that based on a model of what you think people want. 'Oh, we need a love interest now. Oh, we need this.' This is already set up, and it's set up brilliantly. It's like, 'Okay, now how are you going to utilize it in a way that's within Avengers, within Guardians, within that?' I don't know if there's anybody better than them [Marvel Studios]. They understand it. They live it. I can tell you live it too, and it's that kind of a thing. It's like, I'm catching up to you guys, and I love the idea of catching up to somebody."
That is a different way of approaching it. He is thinking of this almost like a serialized television show. The analogy works. Certainly Bryan Cranston didn't know how everything would play out in Breaking Bad, but he had faith in creator Vince Gilligan's overall vision. In the Marvel universe, it's easier to have faith in future unscripted projects, because there is a track record of success and a clear blueprint to follow in the comics. All the elements to bring the character to life are already there, it's just a matter of how the studio is planning to plot it out, until the inevitable showdown.
According to Brolin's statements it can be assumed that the same motivation for Thanos' villainy will remain from the comics, in the eventual big screen adaptation.
"His relationship with Death, who is actually the woman, I love that," Brolin enthused. "You can take Sin City [in which Brolin plays a man obsessed with a dark-hearted woman] and pump it full of steroids, and then you have Thanos. I like that he's motivated by that -- not just motivated by destruction or death or this or that. He's motivated by a very identifiable, human trait."
Death is both the source of Thanos' inspiration and his greatest folly. In the Infinity Gauntlet story arc, Thanos can be seen to be as an almost sympathetic character. As he is willing and ultimately does, kill millions to appease the perceived wishes of the woman he loves. Meanwhile Death seems to not even know he exists. It truly is a tragedy for millions within the Marvel universe.
When this story is brought to the big-screen it should be fun to see how the director chooses to portray the character of Death. It could be a fun opportunity to play with perspective. To Thanos he is looking at a hooded Angelina Jolie for example, while to the world her true skeletal, Grim Reaper-like appearance would be apparent. Again, which would exemplify the tragic love story.
Brolin explains that he is still exploring the character, but he did have a breakthrough at San Diego Comic Con last month. While he only voiced the character in the recent blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy, it stands to reason that he will do motion capture work and get a chance to fully embody the villain. However last month he got the opportunity to briefly step into the shoes of Thanos in front of thousands of rabid fans. This is what Brolin said about his breakthrough:
"Do I see myself as this thing and could I do this thing?' Not that I'm ever 100-percent sure, but we had constructed this small thing, Kevin Feige and I and Robert, and going on-stage at Comic-Con. Then it became something else. Once I got on-stage, it sort of became its own improv. I knew at that point, because I saw the rivalry between Robert [Downey Jr.] and I, and I thought, 'I get this. I suddenly really get it.' So I feel like I'm more inside it than I was. It was more a display to me before that. It was more cosmetic. Now I think I'm starting to get who the guy is a little bit."
In the exchange, Robert Downey Jr. announced that Marvel has "Thanos." Brolin took to the stage and asked, "Where's my rose?" Which Downey promptly gave to him. Without missing a beat Brolin bit the rose and spit out the petals. In that very instant a cinematic rivalry of David and Goliath proportions may have been born. It is now up to Marvel's writers to figure out how to pair the very mortal Tony Stark against a space god like Thanos, so the two actors can share screen time.
It's extremely encouraging to see the level of zest Brolin is approaching the role with. It is an even better sign that he has only a fraction of enthusiasm as the brain-trust in Marvel Studios. A company so full of energized people is a great sign that the level of care and quality put into their films this far, will continue into the future.
Come on back for the latest Marvel news to come!

Those Eyes: Man With Highbeams Jumps On Cop Car Wearing Sombrero… And Boxing Glove
This guy and his high beams:
SACRAMENTO – Police say a California man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public after he jumped onto a Sacramento cop car wearing a sombrero and one boxing glove.
Police say an officer was seated in his squad car around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday when 55-year-old Jesse James Thomas approached on foot, CBS Sacramento reports. Police say Thomas jumped onto the hood of the car, yelled his own name and then ran off.
He was reportedly described wearing a dark puffy jacket, a sombrero and a boxing glove on his right hand.
Thomas was soon found nearby lying in the street and subsequently arrested for public intoxication, reports CBS Sacramento. He was booked into the Sacramento County Jail on $1,000 bail.
We can "see" he was on one!

- Antonio Esfandiari Wins WSOPE Event #2
Antonio Esfandiari Wins WSOPE Event #2Thursday, September 27th, 2012 by Ryan
The World Series of Poker Europe is in full affect currently, and we just wrapped up the second event of the tournament series, and it has officially been one heck of a World Series of Poker for Antonio Esfandiari. After Esfandiari entered into the $1 million buy-in event for The Big One for One Drop in Las Vegas over the summer, he walked away with an incredible $18 million first place prize. It didn't take long for his name to pop back up in the winners side of things again, as he bought into the €1,000 + €100 No Limit Hold'em Re-entry tournament, and walked away as the winner by beating out 625 players that featured two Day 1's. At the end of the event, Esfandiari walked away with $164,656.
Esfandiari has now won a total of three gold bracelets in his career, and his stretch began back in 2004 when he took down a $2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event that brought him in a pay day of $184,860. It took him quite a while to lock up his second gold bracelet though, which was this summer at the Big Drop, but it was one of the most talked about bracelets in all of poker history. Now he has a WSOPE gold bracelet as well, and he becomes the third player in history to bring him a WSOP bracelet and a WSOPE bracelet in the same year, with the two other players being Jesper Houggard and J.P. Kelly.
The win for Esfandiari not only brought him in a bit win, but it also boosted him up in the rankings for the World series of Poker Player of the Year as well, as he is currently sitting in first place for the rankings with 683.10 points. His closest competitor is currently Phil Ivey with 568.70 points, and then John Monnette with 541.25 points. There are still a few other players who have the chance to be able to catch up to Esfandiari though, so that'll definitely be a race that we should keep our eye on as well.
When we started up Day 3 of the action it was Esfandiari and 14 other players still in the action, and he held the chip lead. Esfandiari started off with 383,000 chips, while the closest player to him was Antonin Teisseire with 243,000 chips. Esfandiari went up and down with his stack a bit, but was never really at risk, and when all was said and done it was Esfandiari against Remi Bollengier going into the heads up match. The Magician held the chip lead at 1.075 million to 810,000, and the two went back and forth with some major moves before the two ended up with their stacks back at the starting points.
The final hand featured Esfandiari raising to 33k and Bollengier calling, and a flop came down with the Tc-8s-As, and Bollengier checked, which led to an Esfandiari bet. Bollengier then check-raised and Esfandiari called. The turn was a Qd which saw a bet from Esfandiari and a call from Bollengier. The same thing happened on the river with Esfandiari going all in when the 5d came on the river, and Esfandiari turned over Q-8 for two pair, which beat the Q-7 of Bollengier to give The Magician the bracelet.
