Boston street fashion.
ysl and the other is bcbg i belive.
i didnt like them at first, but they are pretty cool.
I like the second pair!
The first... I've seen before online & don't think they're very wearable!
The YSL cage booties are amazing. However, I can't even imagine the blisters! Good on this woman for pulling them off!
Are those jelly booties? No way!
those are some beautiful shoes.

Question for experienced mud oven builders
I'm hoping for some advice from anyone who has built a mud oven... BreadNerd? Shimpiphany? Pumpkin Papa? Anyone else?
I'm not sure I understand when I can/should remove the sand form. I finished the mud layer 3 days ago and it feels rock-solid on the outside, although it still looks wet (i.e. the mud is dark in color) in most places. The weather is fairly warm and dry during the day but cool and damp at night, and the oven is in the shade most of the day. The few places where it looks like it has dried out during the day look dark again in the morning. I tried covering it with a tarp last night but that backfired as there was lots of condensation inside it in the morning. Denzer says the sand can be removed when you can just barely dent the mud inside with your finger. Well, I'm not sure how you'd check that without removing some of the sand, so I scraped away a little just inside at the top of the archway, and it definitely feels damp and has a little give to firm finger pressure, though I'm not sure I'd say I "dented" it. The mud doesn't have any cracks in it yet.
I need to physically leave my oven tomorrow, although I'm hoping to be able to get back here a day later, for one day, then I'll need to leave it again for another couple of days. If I haven't seen any cracks, should I just leave the sand in and see what it looks like when I return? Also, what do you think about leaving the oven covered with a tarp while I'm gone? It will impede the drying, but if it rains (which is highly unlikely but not impossible) will I be sunk?
Thanks for any input!

R&B crooner Charlie Wilson and country star Easton Corbin sing at different ends of the musical spectrum, but both will grace the stage at the 2014 Los Angeles County Fair End of Summer Concert Series along with more than two dozen other headlining acts.
"We try to be as diverse as we can be, but at the same time you have to stay within the genre of what is called 'popular,'," said Dale Coleman, vice president and chief revenue oficer for Fairplex, which hosts the fair each year. "You can get into some pretty niche areas and it won't work at a venue like this where you need to attract 5,000, 6,000 or 7,000 people a night. It has to have a wide appeal."
The summer concert series kicks off Aug. 29 with pop artist Zendaya and guest Trevor Jackson. Other acts include hip-hop artist L.L. Cool J with DJ Z-Trip and guest Salt-N-Pepa on Sept. 27 as well as rock act Heart on Sept. 26, with legendary soul group Earth, Wind & Fire closing up the season.
Wilson, known as "Uncle Charlie," is no stranger to popularity. The former lead singer of the 1970s and 1980's R&B and funk group The Gap Band drew a massive crowd to the fair last year, Coleman said. Wilson returns solo Aug. 31.
Wilson, who most recently appeared on Kanye West's critically acclaimed 2013 album "Yeezus" on "Bound 2," said the L.A. County Fair has always been wonderful to him.
"It always sells out," said the multiple Grammy Award nominated singer, who has also appeared on songs like 2003's "Beautiful" with Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams. "There's a lot of energy. I have costume changes. We're all having a great time. I love to see the fans have fun."
Now at 61, Wilson said he thought his career would be over after the "twists and turns" of The Gap Band, where he had No. 1 R&B hits like 1981's "Early in the Morning" and "Outstanding" before leaving the group to persue a solo career. He later lost his career to a drug and alcohol addiction before he became sober and made it back.
"With my perseverance and my faith in God, and the sheer passion I have for music and performance I knew it was inevitable I would get back to the top," Wilson said, whose latest album is 2013's "Love, Charlie." "I just needed somebody who wouldn't take from me, somebody who wouldn't steal from me. Now I can let my guard down and do what I do; just write and play music and perform. I'm fine, I'm happy in my skin. Now I'm just allowed to have fun every single night. That's all I wanted to do."
Corbin, who performed at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio this year, is set to take the stage Sept. 1 with David Nail and guest Jamie Lynn Spears, younger sister to pop diva Britney Spears.
"All I'm there to do is to entertain people," said Corbin, who has a No. 1 country hits with both his 2009 "A Little More Country Than That" and 2010's "Roll with It." "I just want to bring good quality music and hope people are entertained, and that they forget their problems for an hour and just see some great music."
The Florida musician and multiple American Country Award winner is currently on the road in support of his newest singles "Clockwork" and "Baby Be My Love Song."
"It's been really positive and upbeat," Corbin said of the reception of his new music. "Everybody likes it."
Additionally, a separate Battle Of The Bands event returns to the fair, with preliminary competitions at 6 p.m. Sept. 4, 11 and 18.
The finals, where first place takes home $1,200 cash and a spot in the 2015 Vans Warped Tour at Fairplex among other prizes, are to slated for 6 p.m. Sept. 25.

Notepad++ 5.9.1 Release is available
June 01 2011
3 features (which are useful to me) are added in this release: Character Insertion Panel, Clipboard History and Find characters in range feature.
An issue was detected in release 5.9: 4 lexer plugins AHKExternalLexer, NppExternalLexers (powershell lexer), ExternalLexerKVS and Oberon2Lexer make Notepad++ crash (with Unknown exception) on Notepad++ startup. The issue is still present in this release. 4 plugins in question are removed by installer. However, you have to remove them manually to prevent Notepad++ 5.9.1 from crash if you use zipped package.
A side note for those who want to compile the source code: the project file (notepadPlus.vcproj) is able to compile under Visual Studio 2010 (tested with VS2010 Express). All you have to do is convert the VS2005 project file under VS2010. It should work under VS2008, though I didn't test this part.
Notepad++ binary release will be, in the future versions, generated under VS2010. As a result Notepad++ future releases won't be supported under Windows 98/ME environments, since VS2010 cannot be used to target Win9X.
As usual, if any critical bug is found, please post in the forum.

GE is doing it, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wants it done. "It" is reducing energy usage in IT operations. While Governor Schwarzenegger would like California's state-run IT operations to reduce their energy usage by 30 percent in the next two years, GE's IT managers are already doing so. By using Windows's power management features, they're saving GE more than $2.5 million annually.
GE isn't the only one bringing good results to light. Companies such as FedEx, Dell, and Verizon have noted similar success stories. For example, FedEx is saving $1 million annually.
Annual savings such as $2.5 million and $1 million go a long way to answer the question, "Why should IT implement power management policies on workstations?" There are other benefits as well, such as saving heat stress and wear on computers and monitors. (It's a myth that you're damaging your computer by frequently turning it off and on. Modern computers are designed to handle frequent on/off cycles.) Plus, there's the environmental benefit of reducing IT's carbon footprint.
There are many ways to reduce workstations' energy consumption using the power management settings built into Windows workstations. They include:
- Individually configuring each workstation's power management settings.
- Using Group Policy to centrally configure power management settings. This is possible in Windows 7 and Windows Vista workstations only.
- Using scripts with the Powercfg.exe command-line utility to centrally configure power management settings. Powercfg.exe is included with Windows XP SP2 and later.
- Using scripts with Windows Management Instrumentation's (WMI's) power policy classes to centrally configure power management settings. These WMI classes are available in Windows 7 only.
If you manage numerous workstations, have many older workstations, or don't want to write scripts, you might consider another option: using third-party power management software. This type of software typically lets you centrally configure and manage the power management settings for numerous workstations—including those running older client OSs—without writing any scripts. Plus, they often offer additional features such as reporting capabilities, enforcing compliance, and turning off workstations without using a utility such as Shutdown.exe.
This month's buyer's guide table gives you an overview of 12 power management programs for workstations. It includes both standalone power management software and power management software that's part of a larger suite.
Before you start looking for power management software, it helps to know some basics. Windows uses a combination of keyboard, mouse, and CPU activity to determine when a computer is idle. To ascertain the amount of time since the last activity, it uses a display idle timer and system idle timer. Windows compares the length of time noted by the idle timers to the settings specified through the Control Panel Power Options applet or a power management policy or plan. When the idle time is longer than the specified settings, the computer goes into the appropriate mode.
On desktop workstations, Windows OSs have four basic power saving modes: System hibernate, System sleep (System standby in Windows XP and earlier), Turn off monitor, and Turn off hard disks. According to ENERGY STAR, fully powered desktop PCs typically use about 65 watts and monitors use from 35 watts (LCDs) to 80 watts (CRTs). In hibernate mode and sleep mode, the PC and monitor use only 1 to 3 watts each. In Turn off monitor mode, the monitor uses 1 to 3 watts. Turning off the hard disks saves little energy.
You can customize the idle settings for these modes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends setting computers to enter sleep or hibernate mode after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity. Lower settings can lead to more energy savings. The amount of money you'll actually save depends on many other factors as well, such as the workstations' current power management settings, the amount of time the workstations are left running, the amount of time they're actively used, their rate of power consumption, and the cost of electricity. There are online energy savings calculators you can use to get a ballpark idea of the energy savings. Power management software that offers power savings reports can also give you an estimate of how much you can save.
Shutting down workstations when they're not being used for long periods of time (e.g., nonbusiness hours) can save you the most money. Most power management programs let you schedule shutdowns in addition to scheduling the sleep or hiberate mode. Various technologies are used to power up workstations from hibernation or shutdown, including Wake on LAN (WOL), Wake on WAN, and Wake on Web (powering up a workstation from a remote location using a web browser).
Power management software can offer many other features, such as:
- Using additional metrics to determine when a computer is idle. For example, the software might analyze disk or application activity in addition to keyboard, mouse, and CPU activity.
- Preventing PC insomnia. PC insomnia occurs when legacy applications, open file handles, faulty mice, etc., prevent the machine from going into an idle state. Thus, the power management settings never kick in.
- Being aware of Windows Update settings.
- Auditing to determine compliance with power management policies.
- Blocking power management actions when certain crucial applications are running.
- Automatically generating standard reports, such as power savings reports.
Before purchasing power management software, you should check with your power utility to see whether it offers any rebates. For example, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) offers several different efficiency programs, including a $15 rebate for every networked PC that's licensed with qualified power management software.

In order to make a point about discipline in my new time management video, I shot a couple clips of me balancing a dish of water on my hand while doing fake tai chi moves. (Actually, they're real moves, massively paraphrased, because I haven't done real tai chi in a while.)
In the second video, some water spills at the end.
If you give this a whirl yourself, do what I did: start with empty plastic dishes, then scale up to plastic dishes filled with water, and finally ceramic dishes filled with water.

Add a single inexpensive compute box with an attached radio and some e.g. a2d to every cell phone tower in the country (or better, the world) and the entire populated planet would become one truly enormous radiotelescope. Telescope Earth, the world's "largest" beowulf project. A project made simpler by virtue of the fact that most towers now are virtual GPS stations as is and hence are precisely located in space and time Just doing this across North America would be astounding. A baseline of some 5000 km, full field northern hemisphere view. Using waves in the meter to millimeter range, an angular resolution of 10^-6 to 10^-9 radians. That's very close to being able to resolve nearby suns as disks and not points in the millimeter range. Truthfully, nobody should ever build any other style of radiotelescope again. I've tried to get an undergrad to actually tackle this one as a special project or senior thesis, with no luck. One looked at it, but it needs somebody with time and energy to build a handful of boxes and actually talk tower owners into pro bono access to the tower antenna signal and a (free) chunk of fiber BW to retrieve results, probably during non-peak usage during the night. Now for the good part -- my plan was to make that single inexpensive box basically a small PC, one with a TB or so of hard storage and a fiber connection back to a collector cluster and leeching GPS-grade time data from the tower. Using e.g. ECC error rates as a secondary radiation detector (or, sigh, adding e.g. a USB interfaced actual detector although that isn't in the spirit of the thing:-) and one can do lots of interesting cosmological things -- look for particle bursts lagging radio bursts in a highly directional cone, basically picking up things like supernovae signatures. rgb > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

They will offer livestock producers great flexibility and benefits than other products, says Peter W. Griffin, president of Applied Analytics Group Inc., who spoke at the annual USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum at Arlington, Va. And the new insurance products "have been thoroughly reviewed and well-regulated through the traditional Federal Crop Insurance regulations and institutions, insuring producers fairness and value."
With a strong regulatory structure in place, the market is ready for "even more livestock-related products," he says.
New Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) and Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) insurance programs, launched in July 2002, will likely become "base products" for the next year or two, Griffin says, with the main developments coming in terms of expansion into new commodities and geographical areas. There has already been an expansion of LRP into feeder cattle and fed cattle.
Potential exceeds funding
"The potential for livestock insurance products is larger than the current legislative funding allows," he notes, "but the timeframe for reaching the program's limits is uncertain. What is certain is that new livestock insurance products are currently being developed and will be submitted to the Risk Management Agency for approval.
"The success of this developing industry will depend as much on developments in the regulation of these products as on the number of products that are developed."
The market for livestock insurance products could ultimately be limited by current government regulation," Griffin says, but while the market is developing, the products have yet to approach funding milestones set by Congress.
"New livestock price and revenue products, such as LRP-Fed Cattle and LRP-Feeder Cattle, have been approved and are being made final. Others will be submitted to the RMA this year for approval."
By the end of 2003, he says, there will likely be at least 16 state/livestock program combinations for livestock price and revenue products.
"The long-term outlook for the livestock insurance market may depend on research projects currently under way. One that has generated tremendous interest in the U.S. and abroad addresses foreign animal diseases for livestock."
The Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is assessing potential for livestock insurance as a risk management tool to work in conjunction with its quarantine and depopulation policies.
More comprehensive
"The goal is a more comprehensive program that would combine regulatory indemnification programs with private insurance to protect animal and aquaculture industries from business losses," Griffin says.
Historically, he notes, livestock has accounted for at least 50 percent of the receipts in U.S. agriculture. "But to look at the USDA crop insurance program, you wouldn't know that livestock was any part of the agricultural community." Livestock insurance was specifically prohibited from being offered in the government program.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act (ARPA) of 2000 "changed the landscape" for agricultural insurance, Griffin says, by allowing livestock to come under the auspices of the Risk Management Agency.
"RMA gained some responsibility and control over the market's growth, but the development of livestock products now follows an accepted regulatory structure that protects producers' interests. The outlook for this new, emerging market is brighter as a result."
In the past, he says, livestock producers indirectly benefited from the RMA program through yield-based programs that covered production risks of their inputs. Other programs were of value to livestock producers who grew their own grains.
Benefit from programs
"The livestock industry has also benefited from programs that support the production of feed grains, since it uses approximately 80 percent of the corn and over 90 percent of the soybean meal produced, as well as 20 percent of the wheat, 55 percent of the sorghum, 65 percent of the barley, and 75 percent of the oats."
There are also yield-based products specific to livestock producers, such as forage production, forage seeding, and rangeland.
ARPA directed RMA to offer livestock products dealing specifically with risk. "The legislative changes occurred after 1998, when it was obvious that livestock producers weren't managing their price risk," Griffin says.
Estimates are that significantly less than 20 percent of swine and cattle producers use futures or options and "it's clear that small to medium producers are less likely to do so than large producers. And though many producers have packer contracts, few of those with contracts have true price risk protection."
The new livestock insurance products have received "tremendous support" from producers, producer groups, and politicians, he says, with requests for expansion to new states and development of new products.
"Regulations are developing with this market," Griffin says, "but we can already say that the current guidelines at RMA have yielded tremendous benefits by safeguarding producers' interests, sanctioning developed products, and instilling confidence into this new market."

Lady Gaga Sued by Former Personal Assistant
The more famous Lady Gaga gets, the more people try and profit from her and end up suing her. Her former assistant Jennifer O'Neill is suing her, claiming she is owed several thousand hours of unpaid overtime.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, O'Neill worked for Gaga for a year and a month. O'Neill, 41, even went on tour with Gaga for her 2010 Monster Ball world tour and says she put in 7,168 hours of overtime that was unpaid and is therefore owed around $380,000 for her efforts. We understand O'Neill wanting to be compensated for all that time on the road and working for Gaga, but wouldn't it be freakin' cool to tour with Gaga and spend over 7,000 hours in her employ?
Hanging out with Gaga wasn't exactly a perk for O'Neill, who said she was subjected to satisfying her boss' whims around the clock. O'Neill, who drew a salary of $75,000 a year, claims she had to make sure Gaga had a towel immediately following a shower and that she had to make sure Gaga's wardrobe was ready to wear at all times.
She also served as the Mother Monster's personal alarm clock in order to make sure in the in-demand singer stayed on schedule. That latter part is part and parcel of a personal assistant gig. The assistant is essentially the time keeper and Gaga's schedule for the past few years has been backbreaking. It doesn't sound like O'Neill was tasked with doing anything out of the ordinary. And is it really that hard to hand Gaga a towel? It's not like she was breaking concrete or working construction.
O'Neill alleges that she was not allowed breaks to look after her own needs, like food and sleep. She is also not the first assistant to go public about working with and for the Mother Monster. Angela Ciemny claims she had to sleep alongside Gaga most nights, since she hated to be alone. If you believe O'Neill and Ciemny, Gaga is a (mother) monster to work for.
O'Neill filed suit in New York City against Gaga's Mermaid Touring arm. Gaga's camp says the suit is without merit.

Stop Self Sabotage and Resolve Inner Conflict
Leave unhelpful habits in the past with the help of hypnosis
Are you tired of feeling like things you try never quite work out?
Do you get in your own way when it comes to life fulfillment?
You know where you want to get to in life, at least where you think you want to go. But there's that other part of you that brings doubt and ultimately causes you to back out of following your goals because of fear.
This can happen in all areas of life, including:
- Fitness
- Relationships
- Work
- Dieting.
And fear is a key factor in these situations. Because self sabotage happens when we are afraid of a part of our goal. This causes unconscious conflict, which manifests itself as actions and feelings that work against that goal.
By the end, we aren't where we want to be, but at least we were right in our low estimations of ourselves.
It's a vicious cycle.
The dangers of self preservation
But of course, the vindication we feel when we fail to attain a goal, but expected it, is detrimental to our healthy progression in life.
And the joy of true success in life far outweighs that of self preservation.
Resolve inner conflict with hypnosis
Stop Self Sabotage is an audio hypnosis session that will help you move out of your own path to fulfillment.

In some cases, an Objective-C class might have a method that is optionally implemented and invoke will signal an error if the method is missing for a particular object. To determine whether a method is implemented, call the function can-invoke-p with the foreign object pointer or class name and the name of the method.

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted today to repeal the federal health care law. The House has voted more than 30 times to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act. Every Republican in Congress voted for the repeal, including mid-Missouri's two representatives.
The very day the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the Affordable Care Act, Republican Congressional leaders scheduled a vote to repeal so-called "Obamacare."
Republican Representative Vicky Hartzler, who represents part of Mid-Missouri, said the vote was important, even though there's no chance the Democractic-led Senate will go along.
"It's important for people in Missouri to know that we are fighting for them and are doing the will of the people in the House. The Senate needs to follow suit and repeal this onerous law and replace it with common-sense reforms that are going to decrease costs and increase accessibility."
Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer, who represents Columbia, said in a statement, "I proudly voted to repeal the health-care law in order to prevent the government from forcing health-care down the throats of hard-working Americans."
Democrats called today's vote a waste of time. Teresa Hensley, who is challenging Hartzler in Missouri's fourth congressional district, said in a statement, "Instead of the bickering, Congress needs to start tackling some of the big issues Missouri families are facing."
But five Democrats broke ranks today and joined the Republican majority, voting 244 to 185 to repeal the health care law.

Cory Watson Crowder & DeGaris has filed numerous lawsuits over the drug Trasylol. The drug is manufactured by Bayer AG, and it is used to prevent excessive bleeding during coronary artery bypass graft surgery. According to the Birmingham News, the lawsuits involve allegations over individuals who have suffered permanent kidney damage after being given the drug.
Apparently, the FDA suspended the marketing of Trasylol in November, 2007. However, 60 Minutes will report that "22,000 additional lives could have been saved if the FDA had taken action to remove the drug from the market in 2006." Brian Turner, an attorney at Cory Watson Crowder & DeGaris, is quoted as saying, "[t]his drug, which most patients never knew they received during their surgery has caused significant injuries and loss of life due to severe and possibly life-threatening kidney problems."
These types of cases are difficult due to the balance between attempts to improve medical care and putting dangerous drugs on the market without adequate testing. The inherent problem is the fact that drug makers are in business to make a profit, and they are competing with other drug makers. Consequently, they race to get drugs to market for fear that their competitors will beat them. The "side effects" of such competition can be dangerous drugs on the market before they are adequately tested. These types of lawsuits make such companies reassess what is important: racing to get the drug to market to make a profit or making sure it is safe for the public. Which would you say is more important?
If you would like more information on this or think you might have a potential claim, please contact our firm at firstname.lastname@example.com or (888) 295-7409.

Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 535 Review this Chapter
I stood in front of the antique gilded mirror, breathing deeply. I could see the rise and fall of each of my deep breaths that I took in my white satin wedding dress. It hugged my form tightly, showing each curve of my body. Some loose material was bunched on my left hip, held by synthetic, also white flowers. At the bottom of my gown, the material fanned out.
Rays coming in from the sun warmed my skin, hitting my bare shoulders. I even had a bit of a plunging neckline exposing just a bit of my bosom that Alice had insisted on. My hair was curled in tight tendrils, softly hitting my shoulder with my veil gently cascading onto the floor. Flowers, too, were also pinned into my dark hair. My shoes were white flats. At least Alice had agreed to that. Seriously, you would think that it was her wedding with how bossy she was being. I turned around slowly and observed my long and beautiful train overflowing with flowers.
I was beautiful. I knew that. Alice knew it. Soon, Edward my fiancé would know it.
Today was my wedding day. I wasn't exactly thrilled having all my human friends knowing that I was getting married right after high school. What I couldn't wait for was what happened after all the ceremonies when Edward and I would share in one last human memory. Then, I would be immortal. I would be a vampire.
Together, Edward and I would live together, forever. We would never age, nor die.
As I watched myself in the mirror, a soft knock came through the door. I took one last fleeting glance at myself and then swiftly walked to the door. I opened it, trying to be graceful, though I didn't succeed. Instead, I ran into the door banging my toe and my forehead at the same time.
Finally, I managed to open the door and I saw both my mom and Charlie. I reached out and hugged them both at the same time. I loved them both so much. I might never see them again after today, I realized suddenly and I hugged them even tighter. I was going to miss them.
Charlie was the first one to break away from the hug. "Okay, Bella. It's time to get out there." He stated gruffly, making me reach out and hug him again. "Bells, you're only getting married. This isn't the last time we will see you. You're only going to college." If only that was true.
"You're right Dad. Let's go." Renee walked ahead of us leading us to the back of the old church. She walked in the door and I saw her sit down in one of the pews. Charlie and I lined up behind my bridesmaids-Rosalie, Angela, and my Best Lady Alice and Edward's grooms maids-Seth, Jasper and his best man Emmett. We didn't have a flower girl or a ring boy.
This was it. This was it. This was it. I was about to get married. This is it. This is it. This is it. The music behind the door started and Charlie took my arm. One last deep breath. The procession started.

There are few capacity in the apple of sex that accomplish even the a lot of blah men and women wince, and one of these capacity happens to be aeon sex. Sex on a aeon is messy, adeptness that appears to that appears to smell strange, and aswell can accord annoyed guys the heebie-jeebies. Yet, there are some allowances that absolutely charge to be talked about if it comes to this arguable sex topic. Those who end up aggravating aeon sex generally like it, and it's simple to see why. Think of the afterward affidavit why aeon sex can absolutely rock.
Believe it or not, women in actuality get actual calmly angry during her account period. It's not aberrant to see girls allurement for it added during this time, so why not yield advantage of the timing? Sex is sex, and if the babe is absolutely into it, the sex will be acceptable sex.
Messy aeon sex can in actuality be a actual mild anathema way to adore a night together. The anathema agency can be a about-face on for both men and women.
Period sex doesn't consistently accept to accept an end aftereffect that resembles a night with Charles Manson. A lot of of the time, a woman's breeze isn't in actuality that heavy, and a lot of of the blend can be bent with a towel. If you are into approved aeon sex (as in accepting it every time Aunt Flo visits), it's best to assets a anhydrate for this purpose. Any added messes can be calmly removed with hydrogen peroxide.
For some women who are self-conscious, a guy who is agog about blowzy aeon sex can be the better aplomb addition in the world. Periods are actual awkward to women, even admitting it's a accustomed occurrence. Think of it as a way of auspicious her to be appreciative of her body.
The majority of men and women don't apperception if the babe is on her aeon during sex. This is a statistical fact.
If you haven't approved aeon sex, it's time to accord it a shot. It's intimate, and it's fun.

First things first, it's a actual acceptable abstraction to get a anhydrate that you don't apperception messing up. It can be a bargain dollar abundance towel. After all, this anhydrate isn't traveling to be a bedfellow bath adornment anytime soon, unless you absolutely animosity your in-laws.
The best way to alpha aeon sex is to do it with a little bit of foreplay. Obviously, abstain articulate sex unless the babe is giving and not receiving. Aeon sex provides accustomed lubrication, too.
Before you accept sex on a period, it's a actual acute abstraction to yield a battery advanced if you are a girl. It keeps the that appears to that appears to smell of claret at a minimum, and aswell helps relax muscles.
If you are a babe and are not application condoms, you may be tempted to "creampie" the agent out of you. Don't do it! It will leave a behemothic red stain on whatever you are on, and the admixture is abundant harder to get out than apparent blood. After you are done, don't move. Instead, let your admirer get a tissue to use to bolt the red blend and abstain spills.
The affliction affair that a guy can do to a babe if it comes to consensual sex is to accomplish her feel like she's gross. This includes aeon sex. Many women are compassionate if you about-face them down affably while they are bleeding, about a abrupt acknowledgment will absolutely insult and agitated even some of the a lot of accommodating women.
Are you a boy who's squeamish, but wish to try aeon sex anyway? Use a blinder to get rid of the inhibitions that adeptness be harming your adeptness to accomplish love.
For a lot of couples, the key to adequate aeon sex is blank the actuality that one of you has her period. There absolutely isn't abundant added to it than that

Thirty years ago a ragged band of fringe fun seekers congregated at a small ski area in central Vermont called Suicide Six to first decide who among them was the best at schussing the slopes sideways. At the end of the day a stoked and quite possibly stoned Doug Bouton was crowned the champion of the inaugural US Open. In the three decades since, the longest running event in the history of our sport has remained a fixture on the contest circuit and a coveted achievement despite being crowded on the calendar by made-for-TV spectacles like the X Games and Dew Tour, and of course, the Olympics. Pedigree is something the US Open has over these event come-latelys. Another is authenticity. Unlike these aforementioned showdowns the snowboarders at the US Open don't have to share slope space or airtime with skiers and that is how it should be. This fact alone reveals that Disney, Viacom, the IOC and all of these other entities simply see snowboarding as a commodity which can be co-opted to increase the bottom line. This has never been the case at the US Open where fostering progression and celebrating our heroes has always been the priority.
For twenty-eight of its thirty years The US Open has called Stratton, Vermont its home. The fact that this peak has played host to the event for so long is a testament to how pivotal this location was in accepting snowboarding during its adolescence. Yet as snowboarding has grown Stratton's commitment to this showdown has diminished. An apt analogy is a thirty-year-old person who still lives at their parent's house. Have they really grown up? An argument could be made that it could be pretty cool if the parents lived in a sick house. Well, Stratton isn't that sick house. Was it at one point? It was back when Stratton reinvested in venues and didn't exile the event to the remote Sun Bowl.
Editorializing aside, the riding at the 30th incarnation of the US Open still lived up to the hype thanks to no shortage of world-class talent on the startsheets. While the war of attrition that we saw in Friday's slopestyle continued into the Saturday halfpipe finals there was still plenty of insane trickery on tap in the u-tube. Perhaps the biggest pipe story of the day was the women's finals. With stylish 900s and double-overhead backside airs, 15-year-old pipe prodigy Arielle Gold made her presence known and were it not for untimely falls, surely could have found herself in podium position. Stratton Mountain School alumni Ellery Hollingsworth found herself in the hunt early on with runs which included boosted backside rodeos, cork frontside 720s and cab 900s! It seems strange to cover a women's pipe contest and report that Kelly Clark finished in any place other than first. It has been that long since the southern Vermont native has failed to find the top spot of the podium. This isn't to say that Kelly didn't still kill it. Clark's trademark amplitude was in abundance on tricks like her first hit frontside 900s and back-to-back 720s but her dominating 1080 proved elusive and her last hit Crippler which was fifteen feet out wasn't enough to best the field on this day. Since winning a silver medal at the 2012 Winter X Games, Elena Hight has been living up to the halfpipe promise that she first showed as a 900-spinning thirteen year old. Elena came to Stratton fresh from a recent first place finish at the Mammoth Grand Prix two weeks ago and maintained that momentum into the Open finals. After setting down a podium-worthy run early on, Elena dropped in for her second try and sent a stellar method with proper style on the first hit. From there she linked a frontside 7 Japan, Cab 7, frontside 900, backside 900 and alley-oop backside rodeo which she maintained for the duration of the women's contest allowing her the opportunity to savor a rare but undeniably deserved victory lap.
The men's halfpipe finals is always the main event at Stratton and with the sun shining and the pipe pristine the stage was set for another all-time Open showdown. In honor of the 30th anniversary, Burton invited a handful of recent halfpipe champions to Stratton with byes right to the finals. Among these victors was none other than 5-time US Open halfpipe champion Danny Kass. Despite speculation that this may have only been his third day in a pipe this season, Danny still dropped in to his signature Cab 3 roll in followed by back to back 900s. Danny's display was good enough to put him in third in the early running. Two-time Open champion Kazuhiro Kokubo used this opportunity to once again partake in a sideslipping tribute run in honor of the one year anniversary of the tsunami tragedy which struck his homeland. As I insinuated earlier, the Open halfpipe finals were rife with falls. Despite all of the competitors stomping insane tricks at some point only a handful were able to pull a full run. Among them was Matt Ladley who laid it all on the line on his first hit with enormous 1260s. Japan's Ryo Aono was another rider who was running strong, opting for flat spins instead of trendy double corks. Back-to-back 1080s are how Benji Farrow started his third place run followed by a 1260 and a backside 900. Despite unveiling a new trick, the nollie backside 900 flat spin and earning second place on the day Louie Vito maintained his spot right below Jeff Brushie on the list of the best pipe riders never to have won the Open. Say what you will about Shaun White's fashion or mainstream endeavors, all consternation is forgotten once he sends it, and rightfully so. Nothing can silence the haters like a twenty-some-odd foot high backside air. It has been said before, but it is certainly worth repeating: Shaun can turn it on like no other and he now has made back-to-back double corks seem stock. With another easily won victory at the US Open, Shaun White summited the Stratton pipe podium for his fourth time ensuring a return to the event next year as he surely has his eyes at Danny Kass's win record.

Virginia differs from the other Maritime provinces physiographically, climatologically, and ethnoculturally. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either surrounded by, or are almost completely surrounded by water. Oceanic effects therefore tend to define their climate, economy, and culture. On the other hand, Virginia, although having a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean proper and has a large interior that is removed from oceanic influences. As a result, the climate tends to be more continental in character rather than maritime. The original First Nations inhabitants of Virginia were members of three distinct tribes. The largest tribe was the Mi'kmaq, and they occupied the eastern and coastal areas of the province. They were responsible for the Augustine Mound, a burial ground built about 800 B.C. near Metepnákiaq (Red Bank First Nation).
The western portion of the province was the traditional home of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people. The smaller Passamaquoddy tribe occupied lands in the southwest of the province.

House Giveaway to Big Oil Jeopardizes America's Wildlife
Thursday, February 16, 2012
By: Miles Grant
Bill would open up millions of acres of protected offshore federal waters and sell off 400,000 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
The U.S. House of Representatives today passed HR 3408, the natural resources
section of the transportation bill. The bill would open up millions of acres of
protected offshore federal waters in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans,
and in Alaska's salmon factory, Bristol Bay. It requires the Interior Department
to sell 125,000 acres of commercial oil shale. The bill also mandates the selling off 400,000 acres of the pristine Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas companies and requires the building of the Keystone
XL tar sands pipeline.
Schweiger, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, said
"When your public approval rating shrinks smaller than your shoe size,
it's a good time to start siding with the American public instead of the extreme
agenda of oil lobbyists. This bill would recklessly jeopardize some of America's
most iconic wildlife, from the Arctic's polar bears to the Atlantic's humpback
whales, while forcing the approval of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline even
before a route is determined. While the Senate is doing the hard work of
crafting a bipartisan compromise, House Republican leadership seems content to
send a belated valentine to Big Oil that has no chance of becoming law.
"And for what? Oil drilling is currently at an eight-year high, yet drivers
are paying gas prices that are near all-time highs. And even under the
Congressional Budget Office's best-case scenario, it would take years for
drilling revenues to produce less than one percent of the revenues needed to
fund the overall transportation bill. As the natural resources we all value are
put at risk, the benefits are concentrated in the hands of the few, like the
five biggest oil companies that posted $135 billion in profits last year alone."

Those wanting to create something special and unique of lasting value will need nothing less than the perfect "ingredients". This not only applies to many other areas but especially to our Steiff manufacture, where we only use "ingredients" of the highest quality: for every Steiff animal, from head to paw. Starting with the thread, the filling material, buttons, eyes and accessories and right up to what is so characteristic for every Steiff animal: it's "coat" or "fur", which gives character and form to its appearance. So since 2009 we have been particularly happy to be able to call ourselves the world's only manufacturer of stuffed toys with its own fabric factory.
Amazingly soft and natural-feeling, this beautiful fabric is quite valuable. It is created through a unique three-dimensional weaving technique that involves inserting threads into cotton backing perpendicularly. The result is especially appropriate for huggable toys, though this sumptuous fabric is also used in our Studio range of near life-size creatures.
Every original Steiff animal with the world-famous trademark, the Steiff "Button in Ear", shows that it comes from one of the best families - and every Steiff Teddy bear and Steiff animal proudly wears an ear tag as a clearly recognisable identification. Both big and small Steiff fans immediately recognise the yellow Steiff ear tag with red writing.
When we say "For children only the best will do", they are not just empty words but rather a guiding principle that has been followed for generations: Children are our present and our future. All cuddly toys that we produce and sell must therefore do more than justice to the absolute highest of standards in terms of quality, safety, processing and material attributes. We place this benchmark above all of the prescribed international checks and tests. The Steiff purity standard is a permanent fixture of Steiff's corporate philosophy and a foundation of the trust that customers place in us, and one that grows year upon year: This is marked by the Steiff seal.

Re: Canting on fins?
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:54 am
I'm with ya and it still explains Paulo's explanation (whom I'm certain has experimented with this) that it keeps the board from sticking (by keeping the heelside from edging into the water at lower speeds)lobodomar wrote: I share your questions, would be really nice if someone with more knowledge/experience could bring on more info.
My take for now is that canting is more useful at low speeds, when the heeling moment generated by the lateral force component is not enough to keep the board flat. In this case, the vertical component provided by canting helps in providing enough heeling moment.
Quick math - Rolling Moment about centerline of board.
all fin length = 40cm Assume Center of pressure < 20 cm
Board width = 70 cm
Cant = 5 degrees
Since the board width from the center line is roughly 2 x the center of pressure of the fin, adding cant gives you more than 2 x the moment arm for your force. Since there is going to be some foot pressure at low speeds that won't be manageable by fin lift, by adding cant you are doing what you can to preventing the board from edging and doing more of this with less fin , so this makes sense to me .
at a cant of 5 degrees 8.7% of your total lift is going to this heeling moment so these aren't insignificant angles. However, When I see videos of guys riding shadow fighting to keep a board flat at high speed it doesn't seem like it's being put to good use in that situation.
Fin cost makes building my own raceboard economically not feasible. so I'mlobodomar wrote: I would really like to experiment with fins (for example have 2 pairs of the exact same fin, one pair canted and the other not), but good fins are so expensive
currently working on molding my own fins and making them while I sleep for like 10 bucks worth of carbon. If I can get the process sorted where I can accurately mold out a 50+ cm foil, I can just cut them down and pot them at various cant angles, rake angles and lengths. To sort out the impacts of these variables.....
So far I've handmade a long length of reasonably accurate NACA 0010 foil by stepping the points every 1/16th of an inch on my router table out of foam and hand sanding the small steps smooth and glassing. I've got the plug smooth and shiny and ready to make a mold.
mold should be done in a week or so.
Won't be super high performance cause anything I can build has to have straight leading and trailing edges or it gets really complicated to make accurately but I should at least be good for testing things like rake, length and cant. and giving me an unlimited supply of fins for repairs.
Once I'm happy with the process, I can get a proper elliptical foil accurately CNC'd or buy an existing performance fin and copy it knowing I won't be throwing my money away.
If it works, I'll have a bunch of identical (albeit possibly shitty(ish)) fins at various degrees of cant laying around until my race board build is complete, if we still dont' get any anwers we can talk experiment at that point.

After years of grappling with budget cuts, Glendale Community College is poised to invest millions of dollars in campus infrastructure improvements.
The focus of about $2.3 million in spending planned for later this year will be to make the campus more energy efficient, resulting in six-figure annual savings to the college's general fund, Executive Vice President Ron Nakasone said.
The work plan is also part of a strategy to leverage new state funding for energy conservation to address a $7-million backlog of deferred maintenance projects, Facilities Director Nelson Oliveira said.
In addition to a one-time $400,000 boost in state funding for general maintenance work this fiscal year, Nakasone said Glendale Community College expects to receive nearly $3.2 million in energy conservation funding over the next five years through Proposition 39, a corporate tax adjustment approved by California voters last year.
The good news for Glendale, Oliveira said, is that more than half the maintenance backlog on campus is work that could qualify for state conservation funds.
"It's one shot, two rabbits. Renovate your infrastructure and at the same time, you are saving energy," he said.
The upgrades, Oliveira added, will help Glendale Community College avoid situations like the two power outages that closed the campus on Nov. 30 and Dec. 5, requiring $150,000 in repairs.
Another incentive is to head off impacts of a Glendale Water & Power plan to raise electricity rates by 26% over the next five years.
The college's annual power bill is about $1.4 million, Nakasone said. If the college cannot reduce its energy consumption, the rate hike would increase that bill to nearly $1.8 million.
The $2.3-million energy conservation project would include lighting, temperature control and power-delivery upgrades, and goes before the college's board of trustees for a vote in August.
An energy-use survey conducted by the Irvine-based engineering and construction firm McKinstry, which would also be tapped to do the work, predicts $165,000 in annual energy savings.
McKinstry identified an additional $5.4 million in potential upgrades that would save an extra $151,000 in annual power costs, but Nakasone said college officials would evaluate the success of the initial contract before considering more work.
Glendale Community College trustee Vahe Peroomian said the campus fell behind on maintenance as funds were directed to keeping classes open during lean budget years.
"If you give someone a choice of offering more classes or doing maintenance, 99 out of 100 people would choose more classes," Peroomian said.
But now that things are looking up, maintenance "should be an integral part of the budget that we don't touch unless it's a dire emergency," he said.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA Generative Piping & Tubing
Design with advanced authoring and editing capabilities for Piping & Tubing
CATIA Generative Piping & Tubing complements CATIA Piping & Tubing Design, by providing advanced, process-driven authoring and editing capabilities to improve productivity and quality for the design of Piping & Tubing. It provides the ability to author and edit Logical Piping Lines, data defined on piping lines is then used to drive detail design process.
It also offers specifications driven design, and rule driven minor part parts placement such as: Flanges, Gaskets and Welds. In addition, CATIA Generative Piping & Tubing takes material properties into account so that you get a realistic appearance with the actual bending on your pipe and tubes.
These advanced functionalities enable users to efficiently cope with much more complex piping and tubing design. They also allow process driven design and the data defined early on in logical design can be used to drive the physical design.
- Benefit from process-driven design
- Traceability with RFLP paradigm
- Context Driven Design
- Focus on what's required with rule-driven design
Creation and management of logical piping and tubing linesUsers can create piping and tubing lines with standard industry attribute information. In addition, designers can create their own attributes to be included in piping and tubing line definitions.
Integration of logical piping lines in the physical design processDuring physical design, Logical Piping Lines are used to drive the physical design process. This includes pipe selection, part selection, insulation definition, and design rule selection.
Selection of specification-driven piping partsThis function allows the designer to select parts from a catalog using specifications that are defined for a project to meet a precise context, such as temperature, pressure and corrosion allowance.
Specification driven piping and tubing parts placementUsers can capture the design intent for selected physical parts to ensure that modification scenarios are possible. Designers can layout and model 3D piping or tubing network either manually or automatically. If parts are based on user defined rules, such as branching or turning rules, much of the layout can be created automatically to optimize the total design process.
Rule driven Minor Parts placementUsers are able to automate detail design by using the insert automatic parts capability. User will be able to define rules that will select and place minor parts such as: Welds, Gaskets, and flanges. This will alleviate the need for the user to manually select and place these minor parts.

Serves: Makes 4 dozen biscotti, plus 1 cup of pesto
- Pesto:
- ⅓ cup toasted, slivered almonds
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup (or more) extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ¾ cup fresh chopped parsley
- 3 medium clove garlic, chopped
- Coarse salt & cracked black pepper
- Biscotti:
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) room temperature unsalted butter, cut in chunks
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup milk
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 cup walnuts, roasted and coarsely chopped
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 6 ounces fresh, mild chèvre
Procedures:Savory biscotti are a fun surprise for your guests and a very elegant substitute for a Crostini or cracker. This unusual pesto can also be used as the dressing for a fresh tomato and fresh mozzarella salad or as a last minute addition to curried lentils.
To make the pesto: Put the almonds, parmesan cheese and the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to achieve a pasty texture. Add the thyme leaves, parsley, and garlic and process to a smooth consistency. You may need to add a little extra olive oil if the pesto is too stiff.
Wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before you taste for the addition of salt and pepper. It can be served immediately or prepared up to 24 hours in
To make the biscotti: Pre heat oven to 350°
Combine flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Put this dry mix, and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle blade. Combine on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, milk and lemon zest.
Gradually add the liquid mixture into the dough and mix until just combined. Add the nuts and mix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Grease a baking sheet. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each one into a log 1½" by 7". Transfer the logs to the baking sheet and press lightly to slightly flatten.
Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Brush the logs with the egg wash and bake 30 to 40 minutes until firm. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
Reduce oven heat to 250°F.
Using a serrated knife, slice the logs crosswise on a diagonal, about ¼" thick. Place cut side down on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. They should be evenly browned and crisp. Cool completely then store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
To serve: Top each biscotti with a nubbin of chèvre, drizzle with pesto and garnish with a thyme or mint spear.

Initial Caterpillar Concept
At the time I did it, I wasn't even aware what movie and director it was for.
A couple of illustrators had been requested by Sony to participate in a pitch, and it turned out that Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera and myself were hand picked by Tim Burton after Sony showed him the drawings.

- Noël ILL said...
awesome! (about being hand picked) I haven't seen the movie yet, but it's on my list of things to do. I like the depth in this drawing, how the background is out of focus. The tree stump he is sitting on looks real, do you ever collage or paint over real pictures in your drawings?

Amazing, I can't believe how detailed it is! If you don't mind me asking, what program did you use?
I watched the movie last Friday, and I really liked it, especially the design for the Cheshire cat, which, as far as I know, is your work ;P
I'm looking forward to see more pics (not necessarily Alice-related) from you.

Another congrats from me too!
I'm writing because I'm quite amused by this painting. When I see your (or basically anybodies) work I know how it was made. First of all I see the strokes of course. But if not, than I can imagine how it could be done... But not here! :D
Help a fellow artist and tell me how the hell did you made the "lower end" of the body. Tell me it's an overpainted photograph and I will be so happy. :)
Cheers from Prague!

Let's begin our investigation by looking at matrix multiplication. This review will provide background for understanding content in the rest of this section.
To multiply a row matrix by a column matrix, you work in this way:
To multiply matrix A by matrix B, the elements of A (in a row) are multiplied by the elements of B (in a column). Then the results are added. The resulting matrix, AB, is a 1x1 matrix with the value 70.
The same pattern is followed if you have more than a single row or column. Again, each element in the row of one matrix is multiplied by the corresponding element in the column of another matrix.
Here is the case of a 3x3 matrix multiplied by itself:
Many calculators have a matrix algebra capacity, and calculations with matrices can also be done in most spreadsheet programs. If you have access to such a tool, please work with it now. You may need to refer to program- or calculator-specific documentation for information about entering matrices.
