"We need to describe what chastity is and what it isn't. It's not just a negative, it's not just saying 'no' to sex before marriage. It's a positive, saying 'yes' to your intrinsic value as a human being apart from your willingness to have sex, and saying 'yes' to the intrinsic value of another by not using them in away that violates their dignity."
— Me, quoted in the latest Our Sunday Visitor: "Rotten fruit of sexual revolution's tree focus of new mainstream books"

DragonFly 1.8.0 has been released. The biggest kernel change in this release is the addition of virtual kernel support and a virtual kernel build target. The biggest user-visible changes include updates to third party applications included in the base system, a major rewrite of NULLFS which removes all directory recursion restrictions from mount_null and removes nearly all the kernel resource overhead when using such mounts, and a multi-ip feature for jails.

When you are ready to order your main course, he brings out a silver tray holding the evening's available meats and fishes, and informs you of the methods of preparation available. Then, he discusses a long list of (à la carte) side dishes from which to choose. Dessert choices are described later.

Store your replica watches within the right way,
8 '13 Subject: Store your replica watche, Viewed by: 9306rolex watches
Several people realize that obtaining single watch for all occasions is like wearing the same suit at the office, special occasions and holiday trips. So, the personal collections of replica watches appear. However as it proves to be, few watch collection's owners know that automatic watches should be kept inside a very special way. The top way will be to preserve replica watches in special cases with the mechanisms that mimic the motion of a human hand.
When you own several watches, you either have to wind them constantly or let them become slow or even stop. And whenever their turn to become put on comes, you must correct the hands and indices. It's easy for those who have the common three-handed model, but when you own a special sport model of replica watches, you will have to unscrew and screw up the crown. But most of all the problems practical experience owners of sophisticated watches, such that have pointers to the day of the week and full date, moon phase, time, second time zone, perpetual calendar and others.
Whenever the complex watches stops, then you have to adjust the display of numerous hands and indicators. And often you'll be able to not do it by yourself. Mechanisms of some models are so complex and delicate, that manufacturers categorically prohibit from self-adjusting pointers.
Also replica watches' mechanisms - as any other - require constant lubrication to prolong their life-time. Otherwise it directly affects the accuracy with the shown time and the proper work of mechanisms. That is why even the most prestigious watch brands, just after a long display within the store without a permanent care are no longer able to correspond the documented characteristics.
Replica watches are something great that you should not miss out out of your wardrobe. On-line buying for replica designer watches is perfect way to get them when you don't want any hectic conditions of going outside and finding them. Here you may get wide variety to choose from and you could compare them according to the rates and designs that suit you well.
The enjoy the success and pleasure of wearing your replica watches, the care and proper storing should be nevertheless applied to them.

Snowstorms Mean Shoveling: Tips for SAFE Shoveling
Shoveling snow can provide good exercise when done correctly but can prove harmful if people try to take on more than they can handle or use faulty techniques.
Here are some tips from physicians at Mayo Clinic Health System for injury-free snow shoveling:
• If you're inactive and have a history of heart trouble, talk to your doctor ... stop if you feel tightness in your chest. Heart attacks increase significantly in the winter months, particularly while people are shoveling snow.
• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is just as possible when you exert yourself in cold winter months as it is in the summer.
• Dress warmly. Dress in several layers so you can remove a layer as needed.
• Do not shovel while eating or smoking. Avoid caffeine or nicotine before you begin shoveling. This may place extra stress on the heart.
• Warm up your muscles in your arms and legs. Walk for a few minutes and stretch your arms and legs before shoveling. Warm muscles are less likely to be injured and work more efficiently.
• Take it slow! Pace yourself and take breaks. Keep a cell phone handy in case of emergency.
• Don't pick up too much snow at once. Use a small shovel, or fill it only one-fourth to one-half if you use a large shovel. If necessary, just push the snow as you shovel. It is easier on your back. Keep the load of snow as close to you as possible.
• Protect your back. Bend from the knees, not your back. Lift with your legs bent, stand with your feet about hip width for balance and keep the shovel close to your body. Try not to twist. If you move the snow to one side move your feet to face the direction the snow will be going.
• Clear snow as soon as it stops falling. Freshly fallen snow is lighter.
• Most importantly – listen to your body! Stop if you feel tired.

Thanks for stopping by OAGJ. I actually didn't plan to by the complete outfit at the Goodwill it kind of was just luck:) I have wanted a plaid shirt all winter but I couldn't find a plaid I actually liked and didn't make me look like a lumber jack. I LOVE your plaid shirt. I wanted one that looked more like that but couldn't find one. As far as jeans go, I only own one pair and they aren't boyfriend jeans. I need a couple more pairs of jeans but don't like slouchy style so the $4 I paid was perfect. The shoes were a bonus:)
Anyway, so glad I found your blog and excellent work on recreating Gwen's outfit:)
Sincerely and with thanks,

It's nice to meet other mummies who takes the effort to dress up instead of getting stuck in PJs all day long. Can't wait to see your beautiful pool. And your daughter looks so cute!

Short Answer: we do.
Long Answer: I work at an established Military College. By established I mean 1876. Futhermore, this Military College has been empowered to confer university degrees since 1959. So these two facts together will lend most observers to believe that teaching and learning has been going on here for many years.
So why isn't there a Teaching and Learning Centre here? Hmm. I don't really know. The question was raised again in my mind when I read the excellent report by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario entitled Teaching and Learning Centres: Their Evolving Role Within Ontario Colleges and Universities.
Have a read of this paper. After reading it I have a question for you. Can you think of any good reasons for denying instructors and students access to a Teaching and Learning Centre? If not, why aren't they found at all post-secondary institutions? Please leave your answers in a comment below.

Color Show
Nail Polish
Twilight Rays
Maybelline Color Show Twilight Rays Nail Polish
December 04, 2012
This is the Maybelline New York Color Show Nail Lacquer in Twilight Rays.
This is a black polish with gold micro glitter.
Blurry pictures show the glitter best. :)
Anyway, onto the review!
This polish is very thin, and not really pigmented.
It takes 3 coats to be 100% opaque. If you only put on two coats, it will still be streaky and uneven.
Since it's thin, you would think that it would dry really quickly, but unfortunately, that is not the case.
Now, you've put in the effort of 3 coats and a top coat, and waiting for it to dry, and you think "I shouldn't have to paint my nails for a few days at least."
Mine chipped the first night.
The polish has already worn off of the ends, which you can see in the first picture at the top.
I love this polish color. The formula isn't the best. The brush is pretty long and thin, which I don't like. It isn't very long wearing, and it will stain your nails.
That being said, this polish retails for $3-$5, depending on where you purchase it.
Is $3 worth it? Sure. Sinful Colors is only $2, but I haven't been able to find a dupe for it from SC.
But, I wouldn't pay $5 for it, it's definitely not worth that much. You can find better alternatives for around the same price.
Where I live you can purchase China Glaze for around $4-$5, and I'm sure CG has a similar polish.
Am I telling you to absolutely not buy this polish because it's terrible? Of course not!
It's not terrible. I've had worse polish. Honestly, I have worse Essie polishes, and they're much more expensive. It's definitely not the worst polish I've used, just not the best.
It's a pretty polish, and if you don't have one like it, sure, go pick it up and try it!
Hope you liked this post!
Have you tried this polish? If so, let me know what you think about it!

Such a shame about the formula. I hate nail polishes that apply streaky and STILL take forever to dry. Ridiculous.
Gorgeous colour though! I love the gold glitter. Thanks for sharing x
peachycurves.blogspot.co.uk :) :) :)I hate waiting for nail polish to dry and then to have to put more layers on. That sucks. It turned out very pretty though.

I can't help but to want to give this shave cream some points for good intentions. A pheromone infused, rash-free, unscented shave cream that can even be used on the most sensitive areas (see the phrase "balls n all") really does sound like an intriguing product. It just doesn't really exist here.Published:

Known as the "city of roses" for the annual rose festival and general profusion of these flowers in the city, Bloemfontein has a wealth of natural attractions. They include Kings Park, with its rose gardens, and the verdant Free State National Botanic Garden. The nature reserve Naval Hill offers soaring views over the city and also has an Orchid House. Meanwhile, the historic city centre is lined with elegant buildings and museums to check out include the National Museum, Anglo Boer War Museum and Oliewenhuis Art Gallery. For leisure and refreshment, Loch Logan Waterfront is the place to be.
Bloemfontein overview
When to fly to Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein has very hot summers and January tends to be the hottest month. Summer temperatures are usually in the 30s from December through to February and it tends to be the most popular and busiest time to visit. Winters here are between June and August and tend to be cool and dry with occasional frost.
Getting around Bloemfontein
Getting around Bloemfontein, as in most South African cities, is easiest with a car. Cars can be rented from various companies at the airport, including Avis and Hertz. Public transport options are limited, but there are public buses and taxis can be hired.
Compared to other South African cities, Bloemfontein has a reputation for being safe. Most visitors have no problems walking around the centre in the day, though it can be quiet in the evening. The shopping malls are patrolled 24 hours and 2nd Street is generally safe and busy at night. Potential areas to avoid include the train station and townships east of the railway lines.

Today's Fresh Sheet – new and recent releases – includes wines from Gorman Winery, Dumas Station, Pacific Rim, Columbia Crest, Woodinville Wine Cellars, College Cellars, Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard & Winery, Tildio Winery, Pamplin Family Winery, Col Solare, Robert Ramsay Cellars, and NXNW Winery.
Domaine Ste. Michelle has long dominated the sparkling wine market in Washington since the winery's founding in 1978. Recently, the winery relaunched itself as simply 'Michelle'.
A quick look at the new design and packaging makes the intent clear: it's aimed directly at women in general and more specifically at Millennial women – those aged 21 to 34. Why all the fuss about women? The press release on the relaunching contained the following telling quote:
"With the majority of our sales being made by women, we enhanced shelf appeal with feminine flair," said Brenda Castañeda, Marketing Manager. "The new packaging features an elegant bottle shape and an attractive white label accented with soft blue (Brut, Extra Dry) and blush (Brut Rosé) hues. The wine meets the demand from women seeking a chic and stylish sparkling wine."
Well everyone, another Thanksgiving is almost here. As I've written before, I suggest not getting too stressed out about pairing wines with Thanksgiving dishes. The variety of dishes that are being served and the assortment of guests mean that one size won't fit all. The best approach is therefore to have a wide variety of wines at the table.
The November Virtual Tasting is tonight! The wine is the 2012 Charles Smith Wines Boom Boom! Syrah. This wine retails for $15 and is widely available. The tasting will take place tonight, Tuesday November 26th, from 7-8pm Pacific.
What you need to do to participate is:
1. Buy this month's wine from a local retailer or from the winery.
2. Tweet your comments about the wine on Twitter between 7 and 8pm Pacific using the hashtag #charlessmith. For those on Twitter, follow me @wawinereport.

Most every wine lover can name an epiphany bottle or two – a wine that changed the way that they thought about wine or thought about a region. One of those wines for me is the 2003 Saviah Cellars Une Vallée Red Wine. It was then and remains now one of my all time favorite Washington wines, one that completely captivated me on the Walla Walla Valley and Washington wine scene. It might not have been on that particular day that I decided to start writing about Washington wine. But if not, it was certainly shortly thereafter. The wine was positively inspiring.
The Californians are coming! The Californians are coming! Part II - What Duckhorn's arrival means for Washington wine
The California incursion into the Washington wine industry continues with the announcement last week that Napa Valley's Duckhorn Vineyards will be producing a Red Mountain designated Cabernet Sauvignon, a little kept secret over the past year.
This is only the latest example of the California influx into Washington, as earlier this year Napa Valley's Cakebread Cellars announced a new Walla Walla Valley-based brand and wine giant Trinchero Family Estates teamed up with Charles & Charles. Last year saw the purchase by E. & J. Gallo of Columbia Winery and Covey Run. With all of this money coming north, what does it mean for the Washington wine industry?
A round-up of stories on Washington wine from November 8th to November 14th. Read previous round-ups here.
From around the country...
Aspen Times Weekly writes about Col Solare, Force Majure, and Long Shadows.
The Indianapolis Star recommends Red Diamond.
The Sun Sentinel (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) reports writes about what to drink with roast quail.
Tim Nodland of Spokane's Nodland Cellars always knew what he wanted to be when he grew up but it wasn't a winemaker. "I decided I was going to be a lawyer in the fourth grade," Nodland says matter-of-factly. While Nodland is indeed now a practicing attorney, his journey to winemaking lawyer might never have happened if it weren't for Kurt Cobain and company.
Nodland's detour from a law career began when he was a teenager. "When I was seventeen I saw this Fender Telecaster hanging in the window at a shop in Spokane," Nodland recalled. "My life changed at that moment."
While some growers and winemakers in Washington finished up harvest as much as a month ago, others are still going.
This picture comes from Precept Wine's Canyon Vineyard Ranch in the Yakima Valley, where Sémillon was picked on Monday. This was the winery's last pick of the harvest season.

When I sampled the inaugural releases from Lauren Ashton Cellars last year (notes here), I was considerably impressed. The new wines from the winery however, are a revelation – as impressive an across the board lineup as I've tasted from any winery this year along with some of the best wines I have tasted in 2013 period.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution writes about a weekend in Walla Walla.
Washington's growing season and harvest in 2013 was a two part story.
As I have written before, 2013 was a warm year – the second warmest on record behind 2003 in terms of Growing Degree Days. However, as the chart below from Washington State University shows, the season actually ran ahead of 2003 throughout the growing season and into the beginning of harvest before things took a sudden turn.
Below is a summary of posts for October 2013.

4.11 / 5.00 5,857 ViewsThe Elephant also known as master of disguise in the world of the animals is hiding from you. Can you spot the whereabouts of this cunning beast?
Here is what Channel 4's E4 games said about it:
A philospohical investigation into the bleakness of absurdity
Never before has a game tried to journey so deeply into our own human consciousness. Where's The Elephant seeks to tease out something tangible from the miasma of ethereal non-specifics that make up our daily existences, be they real or surreal.
You either hate it or love it. I personally enjoy things like this so 5 stars for you my good sir. I find it funny and that's mostly because i found this on the front page of the game section and it's just... so.... bad. I find that ironic and I got a good laugh out of this. So yeah maybe it's not the best game out there at the moment but this also isn't the worst. Also the soundtrack is amazing.
I'm not sure if this is a really poor game, of if I just got trolled.
OK. I PLAY PROBABLY 20-25 dumb games in a year. so basically i have a short list of stupid games. well, i have placed this on the first place in stupid games in my whole life.
1. obviously he wants spam or something cuz he gave a spot for people to spam him
2. i might die of an extreme headache if the soundtrack was any louder than 0 decibels
3. no challenge and no fun

Obama should treat Snowden the same way he treated Bush's torturers and Wall Street banksters
Obama claimed he could not prosecute them because their crimes were committed in the past.
Snowden's crime was committed in the past, so Obama should just leave him and all whistle blowers alone.

5. I think he meant "should not" as spoken by Rahm Emanuel:
Aide: Obama Won't Prosecute Bush Officials
~Snip~ Asked Sunday on ABC's "This Week" about the fate of those officials, Emanuel said the president believes they "should not be prosecuted either and that's not the place that we go." Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the idea of "criminalizing legal advice after one administration is out of the office is a very bad precedent. ... I think it would be disaster to go back and try to prosecute a lawyer for giving legal advice that you disagreed with to a former president." Full article: http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-250_162-4955428.html And Lindsey Graham chipped in his support of this view so it's a "bipartisan" consensus as well.... |

6. I'd agree with that but Obama changed precedent
Obama basically said it was OK for the Powerful (Bush torturers and Wall Street banksters) to commit crimes with impunity, but should a grunt in our behemoth national security apparatus spill the beans to the American People on how the Powerful (national security agencies + corporations) are invading our privacy, then he should be treated and prosecuted like a criminal and traitor.
Obama should be forced to eat his "Looking Forward, Not Backward" words. That was a stupid think for a lawyer to say and as President he is encouraging law breaking by the Powerful. |

Driving is a lot like sex: it's more fun when it's wet & slippery and Bon Jovi is involved. Sub out JBJ for another famous Italian, and you've got the annual Lamborghini Winter Academy, an exotically ballsy, three-to-four-day performance course held on a specially made ice track near Cortina in the Italian Alps
You'll stay at the Cristallo Palace Hotel & Spa, which proudly boasts a mountainous golf course, a Finnish sauna, something called a thermarium, and...winter polo. It's like regular polo, except it's on a frozen lake, so your Nachos get cold quickly
Your Lambo training happens at the Auronzo Ice Track (think Mario Kart ice track, sans shells), where you'll warm up in a Gallardo LP 550-2 and discuss theory, focusing on The Theory of "Hey, you don't have as much grip as you normally do and you're in a Lamborghini, so be careful". Then you'll hop into an Aventador and forget everything you learned because it's all just so awesome
For more experienced drivers, their avanzato program includes over-/understeering with a Gallardo LP 560-4, Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, and Aventador LP 700-4. Then you'll learn how to drift, and hit a gymkhana course -- if you don't know what that is but you find yourself on it anyway, you'll definitely be living on a prayer.

Hi my name is Veronica and decided to start a blog so that I could share my projects and hopefully inspire some of you guys. I love to craft with paper. I usually use my cricut and cuttle bug but I love to use anything to create. I hope you enjoy my blog. Have a fantastic day!

SCAL2 & CCR Who Knew?
When I downloaded SCAL a few years ago, I was so happy with
it. I used it more than I used my carts. I loved the idea of creating my own designs. When I updated to SCAL2, I was even happier.
It was much better than SCAL1. Then I heard about the Provo craft lawsuit… YIKES! Drama in the Crafting
world was unexpected. So, fearing losing
SCAL2 I never updated my Cricut Expression.
When I heard about Cricut Craft Room, I searched and
searched for information regarding using SCAL2 & CCR. I was afraid that I was going to lose SCAL if
I downloaded CCR so I never did it. When
I got my Imagine for Christmas I did not really enjoy it. I felt limited. My husband even asked my why I did not use
it. I realized that it was because I was too used to creating on my computer.
On Super Bowl weekend, I told my husband that I was going to
craft and I will only leave my craft room when I needed a refill on wings and
pizza. This is when I downloaded CCR and
updated my Imagine. All went well with
the updates and downloads. So, I played
with CCR and really fell in love with it.
Today… I plugged in my E and guess what? I cut with SCAL2!
In conclusion, I have both CCR and SCAL2 on my PC and I can
use both of them, however, SCAL2 will only cut with the E and CCR will only cut
with Imagine. That is exactly how I
wanted it!
Sorry for the long post, I just hope this helps someone!
Have a great day Crafty Crafters J

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, subsequently the Weston State Hospital, was a Kirkbride[3] psychiatric hospital that operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of the U.S. state of West Virginia, in the city of Weston.
Built by architect Richard Andrews, it was constructed from 1858-1881. Originally designed to hold 250 people, it became overcrowded in the 1950s with 2,400 patients. It was forcibly closed in 1994 due to changes in treatments of patients. The hospital was bought by Joe Jordan in 2007, and is opened for tours and other money raising events for its restoration.[4] The hospital's main building is claimed to be one of the largest hand-cut stone masonry buildings in the United States, and the second largest hand-cut sandstone building in the World, with the only bigger one being in the Moscow Kremlin. As Weston Hospital Main Building, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990.[2][5]
The hospital was authorized by the Virginia General Assembly in the early 1850s as the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.[6] Following consultations with Thomas Story Kirkbride, then-superintendent of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, a building in the Kirkbride Plan[7] was designed in the Gothic Revival and Tudor Revival styles by Richard Snowden Andrews (1830–1903),[1][6] an architect from Baltimore whose other commissions included the Maryland Governor's residence in Annapolis and the south wing of the U.S. Treasury building in Washington.[8] Construction on the site, along the West Fork River opposite downtown Weston, began in late 1858. Work was initially conducted by prison laborers; a local newspaper in November of that year noted "seven convict negroes" as the first arrivals for work on the project. Skilled stonemasons were later brought in from Germany and Ireland.[7]
Construction was interrupted by the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. Following its secession from the United States, the government of Virginia demanded the return of the hospital's unused construction funds for its defense. Before this could occur, the 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry seized the money from a local bank, delivering it to Wheeling. It was put toward the establishment of the Reorganized Government of Virginia, which sided with the northern states during the war. The Reorganized Government appropriated money to resume construction in 1862. Following the admission of West Virginia as a U.S. state in 1863, the hospital was renamed the West Virginia Hospital for the Insane. The first patients were admitted in October 1864, but construction continued into 1881. The 200-foot (61 m)[9] central clock tower was completed in 1871, and separate rooms for black people were completed in 1873.[6][7][8] The hospital was intended to be self-sufficient,[8] and a farm, dairy, waterworks, and cemetery were located on its grounds,[6] which ultimately reached 666 acres (270 ha) in area. A gas well was drilled on the grounds in 1902.[7] Its name was again changed to Weston State Hospital in 1913.[6]
Originally designed to house 250 patients in solitude, the hospital held 717 patients by 1880; 1,661 in 1938; over 1,800 in 1949; and, at its peak, 2,600 in the 1950s in overcrowded conditions. A 1938 report by a survey committee organized by a group of North American medical organizations found that the hospital housed "epileptics, alcoholics, drug addicts and non-educable mental defectives" among its population. A series of reports by The Charleston Gazette in 1949 found poor sanitation and insufficient furniture, lighting, and heating in much of the complex, while one wing, which had been rebuilt using Works Progress Administration funds following a 1935 fire started by a patient, was comparatively luxurious.[7]
By the 1980s, the hospital had a reduced population due to changes in the treatment of mental illness. Those patients who could not be controlled were often locked in cages. In 1986, then-Governor Arch Moore announced plans to build a new psychiatric facility elsewhere in the state and convert the Weston hospital to a prison.[7] Ultimately the new facility, the William R. Sharpe Jr. Hospital, was built in Weston and the old Weston State Hospital was simply closed in May 1994.[6] The building and its grounds have since been mostly vacant, aside from local events such as fairs, church revivals, and tours.[7] In 1999, all four floors of the interior of the building were damaged by several city and county police officers playing paintball,[10] three of whom were dismissed over the incident.
Efforts towards adaptive reuse of the building have included proposals to convert the building into a Civil War Museum[6] and a hotel and golf course complex.[9] A non-profit 501(c)3 organization, the Weston Hospital Revitalization Committee, was formed in 2000 for the purpose of aiding the preservation of the building and finding appropriate tenants.[11] Three small museums devoted to military history, toys, and mental health were opened on the first floor of the building in 2004, but were soon forced to close due to fire code violations.[9]
The hospital was auctioned by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources on August 29, 2007. Joe Jordan, an asbestos demolition contractor from Morgantown, was the high bidder and paid $1.5 million for the 242,000-square-foot (22,500 m2) building. Bidding started at $500,000.[12] Joe Jordan has also begun maintenance projects on the former hospital grounds. In October 2007, a Fall Fest was held at the Weston State Hospital. Guided historic and paranormal daytime tours were offered as well as evening ghost hunts and paranormal tours.[citation needed]
On television[edit]
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was featured as a haunted location on several paranormal television shows, including; Ghost Stories, Syfy's Ghost Hunters, Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, and Paranormal Lockdown on Destination America/TLC.

This is a renewal application for a successful training program offering 2-3 year fellowships that prepare post- doctoral scientists for careers in interdisciplinary obesity research. Early career investigators enroll in a formal program tailored to individual interests aimed to promote development of independent research careers. Trainees are incorporated into the investigative programs of UAB's Nutrition Obesity Research Center, with one or more faculty members serving as mentors. The faculty's diverse disciplinary backgrounds (physicians, psychologists, statisticians, economists, physiologists, geneticists, epidemiologists, nutritionists, etc.) foster a team science approach;and strong collaborative ties among the faculty further facilitate this multidisciplinarity. Trainees have available techniques i cell culture, animal models, statistical methodology, molecular genetics, body composition, calorimetry, metabolic balance, nutritional assessment, stable isotope methodology, hormone and metabolite assays, hormone receptor biochemistry, and more. Trainees will be recent doctoral degree recipients in disciplines including (but not limited to) medicine, genetics, biochemistry, nutrition, psychology, physiology, statistics, epidemiology, or neuroscience. Individuals are selected based on demonstrated competence in graduate school, recommendations of their previous faculty, and the degree to which their interests fit with our Center's research programs. All trainees must have as a future plan an investigative career in obesity-related research. Each cooperating laboratory is well-equipped and funded to support trainees'research and scholarly development. Via a coordinated training program of research, interactive workshops, didactic seminars, and personal mentoring, we promote independent investigative skills and a rigorous scientific approach to research. Funds are provided to trainees to support travel for continuing education and consultation from experts on grant writing as part of their training. Regular reviews of individual trainees are completed by the training program directors to ensure adequate progress toward the development of an independent research career. Funding is requested for six post-doctoral trainee slots.
Obesity, a problem of enormous public health relevance, afflicts millions of American adults and children, decreases quality of life, impairs health, and shortens lifespan. Its causes remain incompletely understood and available treatment and prevention approaches leave much room for improvement. These facts underscore the importance of training new scholars and scientists to address this challenging problem.

Do You Include These Relationship Builders In Your Content?
You Must Include These Relationship Builders In Your Content
No relationship, no market, right?
We need to have some kind of connection with folks before they'll pull out their wallets.
Do you agree?
Here are five strategic ways you can think about building the kinds of relationships that lead to sales, as well as to retweets, recommendations, and referrals for the great stuff you sell.
1. Generosity
- We human beings are rather simple at heart.
- If you do nice things for us, we tend to like you more.
- If your reader can put your advice into practice and get a great result, you've given her a delicious "free sample."
- It greatly increases the chances that she's going to want more, now that she's experienced for herself how good it is.
- The millionaire's secret
2. Relatability
- One of the most powerful marketing messages you can send is "I'm a lot like you."
- The more you can get your reader to relate to you, to feel like he's basically like you, the better chance you have of communicating, "Hey, if it worked for me, it will totally work for you."
3. Liking
- There are two primary ways to get attention.
- You can do tons of great stuff for people, make yourself useful, be incredibly nice and friendly, and maybe crack a joke from time to time.
- You can make a belligerent, loud, annoying pain in the ass of yourself.
- They both work — if your goal is to get attention.
- Some people have a gift for drawing attention to themselves by being spectacular jackasses.
- It tends not to work too well (commercially, anyway) if you're just an ass.
4. Frequency
- If you're building relationships by providing valuable content, the best way to do it is to keep it slow and steady.
- Create a steady, predictable rhythm with your content, whether it's your blog, your email newsletter, your podcast, whatever.
- Keep giving that high-quality free content, delivering those results in advance, and letting everyone know you're a good egg.
- A nice, predictable frequency also demonstrates that you're reliable.
5. Authority
- Bloggers are often excellent at letting their audiences know they care, that they're good people, that they share the same problems as their readers.
- Sometimes they're not so good at actually demonstrating that they know what they're talking about.
- I hope it goes without saying that bashing other bloggers for the sake of getting attention is a "success limiting maneuver."
- Constructive, legitimate criticism is fine.
- But being a professional hater is just lame.
- It can work (a little) in the short-term, because negativity attracts attention.
- But bashing someone just to have someone to bash turns you into a jerk and a whiner.
- Anyway, there are too many nasty people on the web — it doesn't actually make you stand out.
Try this:
Take a look at the content you're producing (email, blog, twitter, Facebook, special report, whatever) and see how many of these relationship builders you can include.
Which of these do you think you're strongest at?
Do more of it — build on that strength.

Political signs are still not allowed to be placed in median strips that are on Wilmington city-maintained streets. However, under Senate Bill 315 (enacted by the N.C. General Assembly in August 2011), political signs may now be placed in the median strips on state maintained roads only, which are most of the well-traveled, more visible roads within Wilmington city limits.
In addition, this new law overrides any city sign ordinances that would prohibit or limit placement of political signs on state maintained roads says Malissa Talbert, communications manager of the City of Wilmington.
Click here to to view a map showing which roads are state roads and which are city maintained.
Senate Bill 315 (click here to read the bill) was designed specifically for political campaign signs and does not include commercial signs. It states that political signs may be placed in the right-of-ways on state roads with some restrictions. For example, political signs cannot be placed on highways such as Interstate 40, be closer than 3 feet from the edge of the road or obscure motorist visibility at intersections. The bill also restricts the size of the political signs. They cannot be more than 3.5 feet higher than the edge of the road, or be larger than 864 square inches (generally about 29" by 29" or 24" by 36"), and they cannot obscure or replace another sign.
The state Department of Transportation can remove any political signs not adhering to the rules. And, as always, permission must be obtained from a property owner before a political sign can be placed in front of a residence or business.
Is there any way to stop the harassing political phone calls?

While on NVidia, well no help, means you can reverse what ever you want when ever you want. That said nothing forbid people in the community to reverse engineer what fglrx do for power management like for HDMI. It's just that part of the people that used to do reverse engineer on AMD can't anymore.

Ichiz Sushi
301 Main St. Huntington, NY 631-470-0210
Critic rating:
$$ (Moderate)
Description:Notable for many by its trendy, upscale décor, this narrow Japanese restaurant serves a variety of small plated-dishes (such as orange-glazed ribs, filet mignon sliders, fried calamari), aside from the sushi mentioned in its name.
Hours:Sun, Tues-Thurs: 5 p.m.-11 p.m., Fri-Sat: from 5 p.m.-1 a.m. Mon: Closed
Ambience:Very Good
Service:Very Good
Credit cards:Accepted
Ichiz slips in like that elusive summer breeze: cool, refreshing, unexpected.
This sleek sake bar and lounge fits neatly into downtown Huntington, where no imbiber is ever frustrated searching for a place to drink. Ichiz has a very precise niche for that, fueled by 22 sakes, the vinous rice brews; five shochu, a potent distilled beverage akin to vodka and as distinctive as Scotch; nine beers, and a solo plum wine.
Before you join in with a rousing "Kanpai!," there are other reasons to visit, too.
The sharp-looking newcomer also should attract you for its short list of Japanese and New American dishes. The series of small plates goes from elevated bar chow to sushi rolls to more refined riffs. Have a meal of shared snacks and appetizers. Ichiro Yamagishi knows the way. He's the former chef-owner at Sushi Ichi in East Setauket.
Ichiz definitely has the lounge look in the front, with tables for two and a little sitting area. The area is clad mostly in black and white, with textured tilework and of-the-moment design. Even the tricolor wood floor gets your attention.
If you're more than a duet and not interested in the couch, you'll have to dine in the back room, which can accommodate a few foursomes. That space transcends the idea of privacy. It's almost as if you're in another restaurant.
Sip a cold sake, maybe the dry, light Jumai Dai-Ginjyo Kitaya Kansansui or the richer Tokubetsu Junmai Akita Homare, each a mouthful.
And order the silky, thinly sliced, steamed sea bass with ginger, soy and pesto. Or the velvety, three-tier tuna tower with spicy fish, avocado and asparagus.
Ichiz prepares a satisfying, playful bruschetta made with fresh tuna, avocado and tomato. Fried calamari takes an Asian turn with sweet chili sauce and crushed peanuts. Oysters veer west, sauteed in garlic and butter.
Oysters on the half shell are briny and sweet. Filet-mignon sliders make a curious appearance in the Ichiz repertoire, but they're tasty, ready for a slick of wasabi mayo.
Less successful: dull baby shrimp-and-avocado salad in a creamy mayonnaise, the overorchestrated, deep-fried "Godzilla" roll with wasabi sauce, and jalapeño poppers with spicy tuna, a bar snack manqué.
Grilled yellowtail collar, sent out with a snappy ponzu sauce, improves things. Likewise, the herb-marinated salmon with "Champagne flavored cream cheese." That enriched, side-show schmear doesn't get in the way. The napa cabbage salad with daikon, edamame, and shrimp in a miso vinaigrette also works.
A professional crème brûlée and a modest chocolate mousse shouldn't dissuade you from visiting Ben & Jerry's, directly across, on the south side of Main Street. Cool, too.

New Report Details U.N. Fall from Grace
Contact: Ryan Balis
(202) 507-6398 or [email protected]
For Release: August 7, 2006
Washington, D.C. - A new study released by The National Center for Public Policy Research details an embarrassing and alarming number of serious controversies involving the United Nations and argues for meaningful reform.According to Ryan Balis, policy analyst at the National Center and author of the study, this report helps explain historically low U.N. approval rates and why many Americans have lost confidence in the U.N. and its ability to advance international justice and peace.
The study, titled "Support for United Nations Justifiably Weakened by Financial, Sex and Human Rights Scandals," examines some recent low points at the U.N.:
* 221 investigations of sexual improprieties, including cases of pedophilia, prostitution and rape, by U.N. civilian and military peacekeepers from February 2003 to October 2005
* The disgraced Iraqi Oil-for-Food program that failed to prevent $1.8 billion in illicit kickbacks from 66 U.N. member states; illicit surcharges by 40 U.N. member states; illegal oil surcharges paid to 139 companies; and 'humanitarian kickbacks' involving 2,253 companies worldwide
* The placement of perennial human rights abusers such as Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on its premier human rights bodies
* The breathtaking inability of U.N. peacekeeping missions to prevent gruesome human rights violations, including 7,000 Bosnian Muslims murdered in the 1993 Balkans conflict and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which saw 800,000 Rwandans slaughteredThe U.N. was set up after World War II as a debate society designed to prevent future wars and atrocities. According to Balis, "There can be no excuse for the failure of the U.N. as an institution to itself emulate the values of its own Charter."
"The U.N. of today is not your father's U.N. It is a deeply flawed organization in desperate need of serious reform," argues Balis. "Correcting the underlying culture of abuse will be necessary if the U.N. is to become a more accountable and effective organization for advancing American interests."
Some ideas Balis cites for meaningful reform include establishing an independent oversight body outside the U.N. bureaucracy, removing diplomatic immunity for U.N. staff accused of criminal conduct and tying U.N.-assessed funds to performance.
U.N. reforms thus far have not done much to fix the problem. For instance, the recently established Human Rights Council, which replaced the notorious Commission on Human Rights, does not exclude countries with deplorable human rights records.
"When it comes to protecting human rights, the U.N. apparently considers the fox a good guard for the hen house," says Balis.

A Tale of Two Digits
Okay, no more job talk today! :P I actually had a big day in that I hit what I consider to be one of my biggest fitness goals.
I kinda-sorta slept in today and tried to make a fancy feast of french toast. However, I made the rookie mistake of over-soaking the bread in egg whites.
Still delicious, they were just super egg-y and fell apart on me. Had an orange dipped in almond butter on the side.
And don't worry – I'm still eating lots of apple treats!
These apple oatmeal muffins have taken up the space in my freezer that's usually dedicated to vitamuffins. Slathered in PB. Of course.
I couldn't wait for lunch today so I could make a pita with my leftover roast chicken.
Do I even have to say this was good? :P Who needs deli meat?
I used a new-to-me hummus on the pita as well.
I'm told this is the closest thing to Sabra hummus that you can find in the Maritimes. It's pretty darn good! I liked the garlic in the centre. Besides the presentation, it wasn't anything to run home about though. President's Choice Organics hummus, in my opinion, is just as good.
Theeeen, I waited 2.5 hours, mustered up all my courage, and hit the trails for 10 miles. That's right my friends! Double digits!!!
This is a huge running accomplishment for me. I have no idea why, but I've always put double-digit runs on a sort of "pedestal." I always thought they were so hardcore, and I've never considered myself hardcore at, anything!
I tricked myself into thinking that I was just going on a very long jog. No stress. It was a nice and sunny day out, 6 C (43 F) so not too cold. Not a lick of wind either, the river looked like glass.
My first 5 miles were easy, other than the fact that I was having tummy troubles. For the record, garlicky hummus and dark chicken meat do not make the best pre-run meal :P My stomach doesn't digest high fat foods well, and I was very crampy/burpy for the first half. But, since this was such a long friggin' run, it did eventually pass.
I did my usual 9 minutes running, 1 minute walking intervals. I went at what felt almost like a "jogging" pace for me. I figured, if I was going to run a whole 10 miles, they didn't need to be high intensity!
After 70 minutes, I dug into my cran-razz Clif Shot Bloks. I had three left, so I popped one every 10 minutes (during my last three walking breaks). This was my second experience with these and I loved them! I was scared they would bring my stomach cramps back, but spacing them out made them easier to digest. They were easy to chew and swallow, and didn't leave a gross sugary taste in my mouth like some sport gummies or gels do. They provided me with the perfect amount of energy to get back home :)
I was actually feeling good enough at the end that I skipped my last walking break, and even sprinted towards the end! Total stats:
Time: 1:44:17
Distance: 10 miles
Avg Pace: 10:25
I'm thrilled with that. I was secretly hoping to get it done in under 1:45:00. Now I just don't know where to go from here When I started focusing on running after my triathlon this summer, it was my goal to get up to the double digits before it started snowing. Now that I've done that, should I just keep going? Should I lay off? Maybe I just won't set any more running goals and do whatever the hell I want :P
Walking down the stairs to my apartment after was so hard. My legs were really sore to begin with today from all the exercise classes I've been doing. I was literally hobbling around. I immediately took a couple ibuprofen then foam rolled and stretched for about 20 minutes. Then I took turns icing my hips, knees and ankles while drinking a delicious smoothie.
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 scoop peach-mango protein powder
- 2 big scoops plain yogurt
- handful each of frozen papaya chunks, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries and frozen raspberries (remember not that long ago when these were super cheap fresh? Boo.)
Here's my "holy crap I just ran 10 miles" face.
Ha, I look a little tired. Rightfully so!!!
Dinner was another tofu quesadilla because the first one was so good.
- 1/4 block crumbled tofu
- red pepper
- red onion
- chili powder, paprika, cajun seasoning
- EXTRA cheddar cheese (10 miles deserves extra cheese, dontcha think?)
I had leftover potatoes and carrots from yesterday's feast. Re-roasted and much better the next day. The chicken grease made them crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside.
I always put the salsa on top of my quesadillas as not to make anything soggy. Plus it's more fun that way.
Yumm, perfect recovery food!
Thankfully, I've regained mobility in my legs. My upper body was surprisingly stiff too, either from tensing up or my camelbak. But that's back to normal as well. Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day. Then maybe some light activity on Saturday to get my muscles moving and blood flowing again. Praying I don't wake up with a Charley Horse tonight!
Question of the day: What's your biggest fitness achievement so far? I talked about this on Brie's blog before. But being able to run 20 minutes straight was a huge one for me. Others include swimming my first kilometre, squatting an olympic bar for the first time, and of course, the triathlon! And now running 10 miles!! :D
Come on in!!
Welcome to my new humble abode!! Let's start at the "top" shall we? First, we must come down these stairs.
These stairs may be a nuisance to some, but I predict they will provide some great workouts come blizzard season ;)
First thing we are greeted with is my beloved Scottie.
This is his temporary resting place. I'm hoping my beloved boyfriend will help me hang Scottie on the wall ;)
At the bottom of the stairs, we catch our first glimpse of the bachelor apartment.
Shout out to my sister Sara who bought me that beautiful microwave stand!
To our immediate right is my verrrrry compact kitchen.
Being in such a small space is why it's imperative I learn to keep it clean! I also spy a lovely card someone sent me ;)
Now we turn back and continue into the main living space…
I also spy a Renoir and a Van Gogh!
I am very proud of my living room set, it cost me $50 :)
If we continue turning to our right, we see my foam rolling space and my boudoir.
As they say on Cribs, "this is where the magic happens."
Sorry guys, I make my bed for no one. Please don't be offended.
This is why I scheduled closet cleaning time every week…
It's directly next to my bed, and I have a feeling it will get messy pretty quickly.
Now, if you'll just turn right with me from the foot of my bed, we'll enter my hallway.
Hi!! There are two doors in that hallway. One is the closet. We will not be going in there. We'll be travelling to the back where the bathroom is.
What? You don't strike a pose in the mirror? :P Oh right, the bathroom. We'll have to get in the bathtub for a full shot, it's a tight squeeze!
Now, we'll go back down the hall and face my living room from the foot of my bed.
My river view window! And a TV that's on a commercial break from Oprah. Please don't make fun of me for tearing up at some of Oprah's best moments today…
Finally, we end our tour with the area you're invited to the most. My dinner table!
Hope you enjoyed the tour!! It's by no means a big palace, but it's all mine and I love it to bits :)
Now, with that, let's get to Waffle Wednesday, shall we? I decided to combine two great breakfasts, and add a little french toast to the mix.
French toast waffles! Two maple cinnamon waffles in two egg whites, one whole egg, almond milk and cinnamon. I dipped it in a peanut butter-fake syrup mix. YUM.
Today was long run day, but I decided to relax for the morning and run once it warmed up a little. I snacked on a chocolate brownie Clif bar.
At first, I wasn't really digging this flavour. So I threw it in the microwave for 22 seconds. Oh. My. Gawd. A mediocre bar was immediately transformed into a decadent dessert. You have to try a warmed up Clif bar stat!!!
I had 75 minutes planned for my run today, and decided it was time for a little mid-run fuel. On my last 70 minute run, I felt my energy wane after the 50-minute mark. So I thought it would help me pull through those last couple miles.
I contemplated coconut water, dates, but decided on packaged fuel for simplicity's sake. What I really wanted was a gu, but this was all I could find without going out of my way yesterday.
Sharkies in watermelon flavour.
The package came with 15 small jujubes, so just under 10 calories a piece.
Tastewise, they were very yummy. Sweet like candy, and I liked the watermelon flavour.
As for fuel during running, I did not like it. At 50 minutes, I tried to eat half the package during my 1 minute walking break. It took me 30 seconds just to chew on one! So I shoved five in my mouth to get an instant energy hit and had the hardest time getting it down. They got stuck in my teeth, it screwed up my breathing, it sat funny in my tummy, and left a gross sugary taste in my mouth. With all that said it did give me energy. But the process of getting that energy was just not enjoyable!
The run stats:
Duration: 1:15:03
Distance: 7.92 miles
Avg Pace: 9:27 min/mi
Besides the sharkie business, this run was absolute perfection! I did my magic ratio: 9 minutes running, 1 minute walking. I had good tunes, great weather and entertained myself with a lot of thinking. I never thought I would get to this point running. Now if only I could make my maintenance three milers as enjoyable :P
I almost feel like a real runner now. Check out that sweaty runner scowl.
One of my wandering thoughts during the run was about this lecture I attended by journalist/author Roy MacGregor. Canadians may know him as the guy who writes the Page 2 column in the Globe and Mail (one of our national newspapers). Seriously successful guy, and an expert in his craft. During the lecture, he told us that even now, he feels like he's still "pretending" to be a journalist. Even someone so talented and accomplished can still feel like they don't really "belong."
I think it's very much the same with runners. Whether they pound out 2 miles or 22 miles a week, many people still don't feel like a "runner." We're all just sort of kids pretending to be grown-ups, you know?
After all that strenuous contemplating, I needed to plop down on the couch and wrap my ankles in ice.
Amazing the difference a little ice can make!!
I re-fuelled with some real food. A tuna-hummus-lentil and bulgur salad mash up on some pita bread.
Perfection! :)
That'll wrap it up for today. I've got an early press conference in the a.m. then Chris and I are heading to a Panago Pizza that just opened for supper. I'm excited! They've got some good healthy-ish pizza options.
'Till next time!

Sure it's Bastille Day. I tip my big straw hat to the French Marigolds in the garden for thriving where nematodes lurk. Viva la marigolds! I wouldn't mind experiencing a French celebration once.
Though I didn't celebrate today by eating cake, I did enjoy a French Basque lunch down at the Wool Growers. Later this evening, while listening to the Buckaroos play down at the Crystal Palace, I twisted my sombrero around to give a nod to my neighbors to the south. Mexico has a pretty great celebration (Cinco de Mayo) here in the USA to commemorate when they beat up the French.
The old radio/boombox cranked out Buddy Allen Owens singing while I collected all the fresh produce to make salsa. He gave a Hee Haw Yee Haw out to visitors in the audience. England was the farthest location and 90 was the biggest birthday. (The gentleman was there celebrating with his girlfriend!)
It's simply a UN experience in the garden.

The French are known for their unfathomable statements, as football fans will remember from Eric Cantona's musings about seagulls and trawlers. But we Anglo-Saxons had always assumed that the problem was one of cultural translation. We didn't know what they were going on about, but we assumed that they did. Well now we know otherwise. The incomprehension is more than mutual; it exists between compatriots too. How else can we explain the chasm of understanding between Gérard Depardieu and Juliette Binoche? Last month the actor lashed out in an interview saying the actress was a performer who "has nothing, absolutely nothing". Now Mme Binoche, usually known for her sweetness on and off screen, has suggested M. Depardieu might be suffering from psychological problems.
Maybe it's because she has won the Oscar which he has always been denied. Or perhaps there is a clue in the film which she is in Britain to promote. Certified Copy is about the communication between a man and a woman in which, Mme Binoche has said, "we are constantly stepping around each other in this ornate ritualised way. It's like a dance, isn't it?" M. Depardieu would doubtless disagree. But then he is probably supposed to. Love-hate relationships are like that.

Foodies Unite
Trip Start
Feb 27, 2007
Trip End
Jun 01, 2007
Since arriving here, I have made it a point to eat like a filipino at every meal. I have been drowned in soy sauce and calamansi juice, stuffed with bagoong rice and dried fished, and I've washed it all down with the freshest fruit and buko juices I can get my hands on.
Easily, the most readily available food item aside from rice is fresh fish. You can get it pretty much anywhere, and it never disappoints. However, one rarely orders fish by itself. Usually, the fish dishes I've had were served at the same time as at least two other kinds of meats (most often pork and chicken). looking at such a feast spread before me is one of the best things I've experienced here. For example, this pic shows a lunch I had at a restaurant by Lake Sebu, close to where I'm staying. The main dish is Tilapia, caught fresh from the lake and grilled. Also in the photo is a cauldron of Sinigang, a soup flavored with tamarind and ginger, and full of chunks of chicken and vegetables. At the top left is a plate of kinilaw, a dish made of raw tilapa, also caught fresh that day, and mixed with onions, coconut milk, and cucumbers. Finally, you can see two staples of my diet, which apply to 80% or more of my meals here - steamed rice and San Miguel beer. The second pic is from the same meal, but it also shows both the presentation, which I liked, and an appetizer-like dish called chicharron - it is like pork rinds only worlds better.
This next picture is of my friend, John - the husband of Nanette, with whom I am staying. He teaches nursing at the nursing school, and is an all-around good guy. Here, he is cooking up a massive pile of Bihon, a dish of vermicelli, sliced carrot, onion, and lettuce, and chicken. As he is cooking this dish for a rural purok, we had no access to a kitchen and had to cook the bihon over a ghetto chinese-made camping stove. Nothing like the flavor of kerosene to spice up a meal. Seriously, this stuff was good.
And of course I could not forget this dish. This pic is the stuff of dreams. Jews beware, this is how the Philippines rolls - Lechon, or slow-roasted pig. The skin is crispy and salty, and covers a layer of creamy pork fat. Under that you will find some of the softest meat you've ever tried. This stuff gives me the feeling like I believe in magic again - it's that good.
Lechon comes in many variations, but once it is served, it is usually gone just like *snap* that. It is even common to take all the unfinished meat after the meal, deep-fry it, and then continue eating on into the night. Most of the time it is reserved for special occasions, but I think I've had at least four since I arrived. Really, pork just might be one of the things filipinos do best, and I've gotta say it has gone straight to my heart, figuratively and literally.
Finally, it would be terrible of me to not present some balance to my description of food here. Filipino food does have its negatives, and one of the biggest ones if the extreme amount of bones in every dish. No matter what you try here, you will eventually end up with something like a rock crunching in what you are eating. Personally, I am ok with bones only when they are found in steaks or ribs. But here, people seem to not have caught the de-boning wave. Chickens are chopped up, bones and all. and thrown into the pot. Fish are rarely filetted, and you sometimes end up pulling more bones out of your mouth than it's worth.
Another problem - well, not really problem, but simply strange - is that there seems to be no concept of fresh orange juice here. This stuff is orange drink (I got this one from a McDonalds), and it is everywhere. It consists of 3 ingredients - sugar, water, and orange no.5 (thank you to Dave Chapelle for the product research). I guess this deficiency balances out the other amazing fresh fruit juices you can get here.
Although there is much more I could go into on the subject of food, I really need to get out of this internet cafe. I will try and add more in later entries, but until then, be well...

The Sookie Stackhouse depicter changes her hair color from blonde to purple and blue to fulfill her 'teen dream of being a mermaid.'
Anna Paquin is no longer blonde, now that her TV show "True Blood" has wrapped up. The actress known for her role as a telepathic barmaid on the HBO vampire series dyed her honey-colored hair purple and blue. She proudly showed off her new tresses on Twitter.
"@Auracolorist just fulfilled my teen dream of being a mermaid. @_smoyer whatcha think?" she tweeted, asking for Stephen Moyer's opinion. Her husband quickly replied, "Wow wife... You look amazing. #sookie is no more :( Long live Mrs Emery...!"
Paquin plays Sookie Stackhouse on the show which is entering its final season, while her husband plays one of her suitors, Bill Compton. In real life, the married couple welcomed their fraternal twin children together, a son and a daughter, in 2012.

Release Date: 2005 | Tracklist
Ryan Flatley EMERITUS (4)...Lambda (5)Post-hardcore's Pinkerton...Sam Feldman's Rating (4)Instead of another drone in the genre, Finch's 2nd full-length, Say Hello To Sunshine, is ...niccos16 (3.5)Unique in a pretty good way...
Blake Reno (4)Taking a darker tone than What It Is To Burn, Finch improves in nearly every way....Tinman (3.5)...+TheCrowing+ (2.5)...
Oh noes, he gave this and The Illusion of Safety the same score. Oh and in case you hadn't guessed, I don't particularly approve of What It is To Burn compared to this.
Album Rating: 4.5Great album, doesn't get enough play time from me anymore though. I can see the comparisons to Glassjaw but it doesn't stand out to me that much. Highly doubt band will release something better than this. WIITB was terrible though.
Digging: Michael Giacchino - Medal of Honor: Frontline
Really? Daryl gave Nate vocal lessons. Maybe I'm focusing too much on their similarities as vocalists. I really just referenced Worsip and Tribute at the end because it's one of the renowned greats of post-hardcore.
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah i understood that, i just never really compared them vocally until other people started mentioning it. Either way his vocals improved so much after WIITB. It's a pity the songs on the EP were really weak.
Yeah, there's a marked improvement. There's a marked improvement in everything frankly.
end of insomniatic meat blows my fucking mind
This review IS THE WORST THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE.
Album Rating: 4.5whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Insomniatic meat lyric, not random emotional outburst.
Album Rating: 4.5i am aware of finch's lyrics thankyou it was actually a comment on the album
Spretty good.
this album is rubbish!!!111
Nope, just very underrated.
Album Rating: 3.0I dug the first one so much that when I got this, I was totally turned off. However, that was quite a while ago and I feel I've become alot more musically open minded so probably need to go back and give this another listen.
Do it, it´s just...better. In pretty much every way.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffYeah this album completely blows away WIITB. This is one of my personal favorite post-hardcore records easily
