The Benefits of Hair Transplant
The biggest benefit to having Hair Transplant is the aesthetic change. You get a good head of hair that you can style the way you want. Most men and women want to have a fuller, thicker head of hair.
But, the benefits of Hair Transplant do not stop there. Having a good head of hair can build self-esteem, ease insecurities, and increase a person's willingness to participate in more social activities.
Many men and women who suffer hair loss become self-conscious and may feel they are less attractive. According to a recent consumer survey, more than 75% of those asked admitted that men sporting a full head of hair were sexier. Most people believe that hair loss would affect their social life or career. Two-thirds of people responding to a survey said that they would be concerned if they were dating and were experiencing hair loss. Three-quarters said that they would be concerned if they were just starting their career and were experiencing hair loss.
At Mirage Healthcare, our focus is on tailoring our medical retreat packages to the specific needs of our clients. We pride ourselves on ensuring a rewarding outcome through a unique service model: providing high-quality, affordable medical services abroad coupled with a world-class escape thereafter.

Shiny Eyed Babies

Bent Knee's website
A History of Rock Music

Boston's quintet Bent Knee constructed
Shiny Eyed Babies
(2014) around a simple strategy: let vocalist Courtney Swain make sense of her cohorts' chaotic instrumental jamming (violinist Chris Baum, guitarist Ben Levin, bassist Jessica Kion and drummer Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth). The result is a protracted oxymoron, as the vocalist needs to continuously change singing style, or to blatantly ignore the instrumental background. Their technique of estrangement begins by crafting an introduction which is a harmless slightly-bluesy piano ballad
Shiny Eyed Babies
before forcing the vocalist to morph into a hoarse pub witch in
Way Too Long
. That segues into the melismatic soul cry
, steadily climbing towards an anthemic refrain despite an atonal violin. Progression is also the essence of
In God We Trust
from its ethereal beginning to its bolero-like crescendo via theatrical recitation. A gentle folk elegy,
I'm Still Here
, soars in King Crimson-ian majesty. The viceversa is not always as successful:
Dead Horse
, that mimics the emphatic aria of a Broadway musical, fades away in a rather uneventful manner. On the other hand, the suspenseful melodrama
Battle Creek
boasts one of the most vehement arrangements decaying into an ending that is pure gospel-ian pathos with minimal instrumentation. By the same token,
transforms its hysterical verve into a subdued piano finale via industrial metronomy. The piano lullaby
, inspired by classical lieder, opens another front. In fact at that very intersection between folk-rock and neoclassical lied
reaches the album's peak of psychological power. The last two songs (two of the longest) are mixed blessings.
Being Human
is a Freudian trip up and down the scales of neurosis and euphoria, and the best thing about the exhausting lyrical ballad
is the way it implodes. Not everything works but certainly every second of this music is a challenge to preconceived ideas of what a song should be like. Many other instruments surface here and there: viola, berimbau, trumpet, flute, cello, trombone and saxophone. And, still, nothing could be further from accuracy than calling this "chamber rock". This is raw, bold, emotional rock music.

A group of eminent health academics has rejected Prime Minister Tony Abbott's assertion that it's too risky to put boots on the ground in west Africa to help battle the Ebola epidemic.
More than 30 of the nation's leading health professors have drafted a letter to the prime minister, to be delivered this week, calling for the government to deploy military aid and logistical support to the Ebola-ravaged region.
Mr Abbott insists he will not be sending any troops or logistical support to help combat the virus that has so far killed more than 4000 people in five west African countries since January.
The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the US has warned that a worst-case scenario could see cases explode to 1.4 million worldwide by January.
"We aren't going to send Australian doctors and nurses into harms way without being absolutely confident that all of the risks are being properly managed and at the moment we cannot be confident that is the case," Mr Abbott said on Sunday.
But the chief of the Public Health Association, Michael Moore, says Australia does have the ability to put boots on the ground, and also to arrange evacuations if necessary.
The health academic and former ACT health minister has called for the government to deploy Australian Medical Assistance Teams (AUSMAT), as it did last year in response to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
"This is the appropriate response," he said.
"We're not beyond being able to organise with the United Kingdom, the United States, Norway, France, other countries that have evacuation systems in place, to be able to work with them to deal with this sort of situation."
Australia has so far contributed $18 million in financial assistance, while other countries such as the US, UK, China and even Cuba have given money but also deployed personnel.
"They need more health personnel but they also need effectively facilities, and Australia's AUSMAT team has the ability to do this," Mr Moore said.
The ramping up in pressure on the government to do more comes after the president of Sierra Leone made a personal and desperate plea to Mr Abbott for Australia to scale up its response to the crisis.
In a letter sent to Mr Abbott last month, President Ernest Bai Koroma says his country is counting on Australia and specifically requests military aid, warning Sierra Leone is losing the battle against Ebola.
The prime minister's office has refused to confirm whether Mr Abbott has responded to the letter.

Texas 'affluenza' teen to have first hearing in adult court
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
FORT WORTH, Texas – A Texas teenager who used an "affluenza" defense following a deadly drunken-driving wreck will appear in adult court facing the prospect of more jail time.
Ethan Couch is due Wednesday before a Fort Worth judge who could order more jail time as part of the conditions of his adult probation.
Couch, who turned 19 on Monday, was given 10 years of probation for a June 2013 wreck that killed four people and left two severely injured. The sentence outraged victims' families and prosecutors.
Couch and his mother, Tonya, fled to Mexico in December after a video surfaced online appearing to show Couch at a party where alcohol was being served. Drinking alcohol would be a violation of his probation.
He's been in custody in Texas since January.

While the Kapitolyo and Ortigas districts in Pasig are popular food havens, seldom would we dare go there because of the notoriously heavy traffic in the area. However, when we were looking for a lunch venue away from Makati, we were drawn to Seven Corners Restaurant in Crowne Plaza thanks to a promo with Citibank and the positive reviews about the place. It was Saturday but traffic was thankfully bearable.
We arrived just in time for our reservation. Seven Corners Restaurant leaves a good impression because of its spacious and bright interiors, as well as comfortable seats. The tables are adequately spaced to provide a little privacy for the different groups of diners.
The buffet spread, meanwhile, is just enough to keep guests satisfied. Selections are not too many to the point that it becomes too overwhelming.
One may begin with appetizers from the cold section — a plate of salad, perhaps, cold mussels or smoked salmon. There is also a Japanese section for slivers of fresh salmon and tuna and Sashimi, as well as rolls of Maki.
After appetizers, we requested for grilled shrimps, mussels, crabs and salmon. These were cooked with butter which rendered a rich, almost sweet flavor to the meat of the seafood.
A meal at Seven Corners wouldn't be complete without a visit to the carvery. On display was a huge log of beef that is ready for the grill. I requested for a serving which I asked to be cooked medium well. One may choose from Herbed Sea Salt, Mint Jelly, Rosemary & Garlic, Dijon Mustard and Horseradish. I went for the Dijon Mustard and added a siding of tasty potatoes and broccoli. The meat was very tender, juicy and flavorful. The steak itself was enough reason to give this restaurant five stars.
We also helped ourselves on the crispy and wicked lechon belly and various selections of sausages. Rice and pasta are also available for those who want a heavy meal.
Dessert came next after our feast. Present at the dessert station were the usual panna cotta, carrot cake and other familiar pastries. We were already full so we settled fresh fruits and ice cream.
All in all, it was an enjoyable meal at Seven Corners Restaurant. Service was fast and efficient. Price was also good, thanks mainly to the promo with Citibank credit cards. Definitely seven stars for Seven Corners!

Vietnam News, 29 May 2015. Last Thursday, Toward Transparency hosted a seminar in HCMC titled, "Why are transparent companies more successful?" The seminar, which was cohosted by AusCham, will be repeated in Hanoi on Tuesday 2 June, 2015 (click here for details).
Vietnam News has published an article on the HCMC seminar titled, Transparency begets success: experts.
An edited extract of the original article appears below.
HCM CITY (VNS) — Transparency is an important element in improving the productivity of a business and gaining the trust and loyalty of stakeholders, a forum heard in HCM City yesterday.
Transparency referred to carrying out activities in an open manner and without secretiveness so that people could trust that they are fair and honest, said Pham Anh Duong, business integrity manager at Towards Transparency, a global civil society organisation working to stop corruption, said.
A recent study by the Government Inspectorate and the World Bank had found that transparent companies developed faster and more sustainably than non-transparent ones, he said.
"Another survey done by our organisation found that 60 per cent of people are willing to pay higher prices to buy products from transparent companies."
With deeper international integration, besides complying with Vietnamese legal regulations, local companies must also prove that they had a strong transparent system and integrity to take part in the supply chain of multinational companies, he said…
Nguyen Quang Vinh, director general of the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI)'s Office for Sustainable Business Development, said the VCCI was assigned to co-ordinate with relevant agencies to carry out Project 12, an action plan for speeding up an initiative to usher in integrity in business..

BA says it will cut back on hiring due to air duty rise
British Airways has said it will take on fewer people next year as a result of the government's planned 8% rise in Air Passenger Duty (APD).
BA said next April's tax rise meant it would hire about 400 people, not 800.
Willie Walsh, boss of BA parent company International Airlines Group (IAG), said the harm to the economy exceeded the revenue that would be raised.
A Treasury spokesman said the aviation sector had to "play its part" in restoring the public finances.
Next year's tax rise comes after the government froze the level of APD in 2011.
BA said it had planned to take on 800 staff in 2012, but this would now be cut in half, and that the airline would also review plans to bring in an extra Boeing 747.
"I believe that this tax is actually doing more harm than good, I believe the impact on the economy is significantly greater than the tax revenue the chancellor is looking at," said IAG chief executive Willie Walsh.
"And that's why we've called for an independent review of APD to fully assess what the negative impact on the economy is."
Many airlines say APD should be scrapped, arguing that a rise will damage chances of an economic recovery.
'Sham' consultation
The prime minister's official spokesman said the government was "clearly disappointed" by the British Airways announcement on jobs.
However, the PM's spokesman said the government raised £2.5bn through APD which was important to dealing with its financial deficit.
A Treasury spokesman said: "The government has been consistent that the aviation sector must play its part in reducing the deficit and restoring the public finances," said
"It is worth noting that unlike other European countries, the UK does not levy VAT on domestic flights and aviation fuel is not taxed. The aviation industry will also benefit from the cut in corporation tax."
The APD changes next year will also see it extended to private business jets for the first time.
The amount of APD that passengers have to pay depends upon whether their flight is short or long-haul, with business and first-class travellers having to pay more than those with an economy ticket.
Under the new rates economy-class passengers flying no further than 2,000 miles will see their APD rise from £12 to £13 per passenger.
Longer flights up to 4,000 miles will see an increase from £60 to £65, flights between 4,000 and 6,000 miles will rise from £75 to £81 and the tax on economy flights above 6,000 miles - such as trips to Australia - will rise from £85 to £92.
At the start of November APD was reduced for direct long-haul flights from Northern Ireland, in response to competition from services in the Irish Republic, which has an Air Travel Tax of just three euros to any destination.
The tax sparked a moment of unity between rival airlines last month.
Bosses of Easyjet, Ryanair, Virgin Atlantic and IAG signed a joint letter criticising the increase.
The letter called the government's consultation on APD "a sham and a waste of taxpayers' money".

It's no surprise that South Bend residents generally like the Dowagiac-based Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indian tribe's plan to build a village near South Bend -- but aren't wild about the possibility of a casino.
It's opposition the tribe heard in New Buffalo when it sited its Four Winds Casino there in 2007. Six years later, some members of that community still aren't happy about it.
The ojections there are the same ones being raised now in South Bend: gambling is an immoral enterprise and encourages crime.
None of us can dispute another's conscience on gambling. Still, what the Pokagons propose is a legal enterprise that many people find acceptable entertainment.
Traffic accidents and crime reportedly have increased in New Buffalo since Four Winds' opening increased the average daily number of visitors to the community by 4,000. National studies on the issue are mixed. Some have found property crimes, in particular, did go up after the opening of a casino; others, that the added jobs had a positive effect, bringing crime down.
In addition to jobs, the Pokagons' casinos have generated funds for local governments and nonprofits.
New Buffalo's Four Winds now employs nearly 2,500 workers and brings in nearly $1 million in revenue a day.
Last summer's round of allocations from the Pokagon Fund established by the tribe's compact with the state of Michigan for Four Winds amounted to $289,000, with grants going to New Buffalo Township and the Village of Michiana for parks and recreation, a self-confidence camp for young women in Harbor Country, youth football and an area chamber music festival, among other things. In all, the fund has awarded more than $13 million since 2007.
On Oct. 2, the Pokagons presented the band's first annual distribution of revenue sharing money, of more than $1 million, from the its new satellite casino in Hartford.
Some 600 of the band's members live in the South Bend area and do not want to relocate from Indiana. South Bend and St. Joseph County officials ought to welcome the Pokagons back to ancestral lands here to develop homes, health facilities and a school.
And because a casino will pay for this, as well as provide jobs and government revenue, it should be welcome too.

So, Bukit Senyum must be a good choice to spend your day off.
Barelang Bridge
Batam is really popular for its Barelang Bridge. It is one of the icons of Batam island. If you can see Monas in Jakarta, then Batam has Barelang Bridge. Balerang Bridge itself is taken from an abbreviation of several places Batam, Rempang, and Galang. It is also popular with Habibie Bridge because it was designed by Habibie. It connects to some island around the Batam Island to make industrial activities run well.
Melur Beach
After visiting the Barelang Bridge, then you can continue to visit Melur Beach. This beach is really nice to visit with an extraordinary view. Besides, there are so many visitors who visit this beach. Most of the visitors are the local people. You can do some activities at this beach just like what you commonly do at another beach.

Pan Orient Confirms Bo Rang 'A' and 'B' Discoveries in Thailand
Pan Orient has confirmed the testing of oil at commercial rates from two separate new field discoveries, the Bo Rang "A" and Bo Rang "B" fields at 686 bopd plus 3.29 MMscfg/d and 36 bopd respectively.
Bo Rang "A" Field -- BR-1RDST1 Exploration well (60% WI and operator)
The Bo Rang "A" field discovery well, BR-1RDST1 was drilled to a measured depth of 1,137 meters encountering the inferred gas oil contact within the target volcanic reservoir at a depth of 663 meters true vertical depth ("TVD") and drilling to a final depth of 676 meters TVD along a 336 meter horizontal section. Approximately 3,113 barrels of drilling fluid were lost to the formation while drilling the horizontal section, inferring excellent permeability.
The well is currently producing on a 90 day production test allowance at a stabilised, restricted free flow rate of 686 bopd of 27-28 API gravity oil plus 3.29 MMscfg/d and a decreasing water cut of approximately 3.8%, composed primarily of drilling fluids.
BR-1RDST1 was the first horizontal well drilled into the Bo Rang reservoir and confirms the successful application of this and other techniques that were utilised during the drilling of this well.
Bo Rang "B" Field -- BR-2ST1 Exploration well (60% WI and operator)
The Bo Rang "B" field discovery well BR-2ST1 was originally drilled to test the main lower volcanic reservoir at a depth of approximately 665 meters TVD which had flowed oil at rates up to approximately 1,348 bopd in the adjacent BR-2 wellbore (prior to having abandoned the well due to mechanical problems), but tight at the BR-2ST1 well location. Subsequently, the lower tight volcanic zone was isolated and a shallow volcanic approximately 20 meters thick at a depth of 474 meters TVD was perforated.
The well is currently on beam pump at a stabilised rate of approximately 35 bopd of 22-23 API gravity oil and a water cut of 0.86%. This result is remarkable given: a) the lack of drilling fluid losses observed during drilling (low permeability), 2) the zone was a cased hole completion which experience has shown generally flows at much lower rates (formation damage) than the typical open hole completions used on the majority of wells, and 3) the BR-2 well penetrated the shallow volcanic zone at the extreme northern edge of where this zone is interpreted on 3D seismic to be present (drainage boundaries). The current plan is to drill this same productive interval horizontally and complete it open hole as detailed above for the successful BR-1RDST1 well.
The Bo Rang and L44-W region of Concession L44 has been somewhat challenging to date with both technical and operational issues encountered. The results presented here indicate that Pan Orient has managed to adapt our drilling program to these complex reservoirs and has outlined a potentially very substantial resource at Bo Rang "A" and Bo Rang "B" in addition to that at L44-W earlier this year. There remain three well cellars at the Bo Rang drill pad and four at the L44-V drill pad (one well currently drilling, one awaiting testing) that will allow an additional seven wells to be drilled into the Bo Rang "A" and "B" pools prior to year end at which time approval for a new Production License ("PL") is anticipated over the Bo Rang and L44-W oil discoveries. This is in addition to another two to three wells at L44-W, one of which is currently drilling and two awaiting testing (simultaneous drilling and testing is not possible at L44-W due to physical constraints at the well site). Environmental impact assessments will be submitted to the Government of Thailand on September 25, 2009 for nineteen surface pad locations from which multiple wells will be drilled from each over the L44-W (in both the L44 and L33 concessions), Bo Rang "A", Bo Rang "B" and NSE-F1 discoveries in early 2009. A third party NI51-101 compliant contingent and prospective resource assessment is currently being conducted by an independent third party in support of the PL application to the Government of Thailand. The final results of this resource estimate are anticipated within the next 3 to 5 days and will be announced upon receipt. It is expected that the majority of the contingent resources estimated in this third party report will be classified as reserves upon the granting of a production license by the Government of Thailand, expected at or prior to year end 2009.
In addition to the program outlined above, plans are to drill two prospects within the 100% owned and operated Concession L53 and one well at the high impact Si Thep deep prospect in Concession L44 (60% owned and operated) by year end 2009.

In the old days, if you were convicted of a crime one of the possible punishments was essentially public humiliation. You wore your crime literally in public, locked away in a wooden crossbar with your transgressions on display. People threw rotten eggs and produce at you. This was the law.
Modernly if you live in British Columbia (for instance) the stocks still exist, only without wood or iron bars or any physical structure. If you want to know someone's transgressions (at least their provincial ones) all you need to do is look them up in Court Services Online.
St Helena goes one step further. As a part of the public service function they serve, the newspapers publish details of every criminal offence that happens on the island. If you get into an argument with a police officer, if you're arrested for assault, if you shoplift a chocolate bar you will literally see your name in print (p22) in the next run of the newspaper along with a description of what happened. People even go so far as to post editorial responses to the incidents to refute or argue with the crimes they're accused of, or to try to salvage their name or reputation on the island.
Besmirch your good name and absolutely everyone will know about it. I was curious about what is culturally distinct about the island... the lack of secrets stood out almost immediately as one of the most profound differences, with far-reaching implications.
There is definitely more to learn about this place.

City planners have created an image of downtown Kalispell as a destination rather than something to "pass through" in a 61-page document that gives a glimpse of what the city's heart could look like by 2035.
The plan includes ideas like reducing downtown streets, enlarging sidewalks and bringing some more life to the city — from updating liquor laws to reinvesting in decor.
"This really isn't our plan," said Planning and Building Director Tom Jentz. "We've captured the sentiment of the downtown and are carrying that forward."
For two years, city planners sought advice of residents and businesses to create what they call Kalispell's Downtown Plan. In that time, they interviewed more than 100 people within the downtown boundary to see what should be done for its future and what might be standing in its way.
"Without a visionary plan set in place, complacency tends to take over and identity can be lost," the document states. "Having a plan in place puts the Downtown in control of its future."
In the document, city planners wrote that Kalispell's downtown acts as "a pass-through at near highway speeds." The plan seeks to restore Kalispell to its roots as a place where people want to spend time.
Jentz said the Planning Board is due to hold a public hearing on the vision during its Aug. 8 meeting. After that, the city council will hold a public hearing as a step in deciding whether the revitalization draft will become a blueprint.
ON THE third page of the document is an image of the downtown in 1940s. The sidewalks are packed with shoppers and most parking spaces are filled with cars as some people chat in the street. Signs like "W.G. Woodward Co." are seen as far as the photo captures.
"The purpose of mainstreet needs to be restored," the document states.
As part of that plan, the document states that Main Street needs to go on a "road diet" and return to three lanes as it was in the 1940's. The draft includes one traffic lane in each direction and a center lane for turning.
The draft also widens sidewalks by 6 feet, for a total width of 16 feet. Wider sidewalks create opportunities for outdoor eating areas, shop displays, landscaping, benches and bike racks.
The plan states current state liquor laws are limiting restaurant and entertainment activity in downtown Kalispell. According to the document, the city needs to look into new state laws that allow an increase in restaurant-directed liquor licenses, so downtown can "foster an entertainment culture."
Other plans include developing a landscaped median on Main Street from 8th and 6th street, possibly creating a performing arts center as well as a parking structure.
Hans Axelsen, shop manager at Wheaton's Cycle, said in recent years, he's watched downtown Kalispell start to refill with unique shops visitors hope to see in a historic city.
He listed arrivals like Kalispell Brewing Co., The Toggery, Sweet Peaks Ice Cream and Blue Samurai Sushi Bar and Grill.
"That's a pretty hip block all of a sudden, that's where the flavor of downtown will be," he said.
Axelsen said as someone who has lived and worked in Kalispell for 12 years, it's a change he's been waiting for and believed could happen. But he said there's still more to be done, as he listed unused lots and a lack of space for pedestrians and bikers around the city's core.
"Plans like this could really change the face of downtown in an exciting way," Axelsen said.
THE DOWNTOWN Plan is just the latest effort coming to a head for Kalispell.
The draft follows the city's recent completion of the U.S. 93 Bypass Route, which was first envisioned in 1991 as an effort to reduce truck traffic and excess through traffic along the Main Street. Montana Department of Transportation projections show that by 2035, the bypass could carry 18,000 to 20,000 vehicles a day, relieving congestion on Main Street.
Just last week, city officials announced they had completed the last requirement needed to receive a $10 million federal grant toward construction of a rail park. The project is part of an effort to remove the railroad tracks from Kalispell's downtown, reconnect disjointed streets and build a pathway system linking pedestrians to shops and parks.
Jentz said looking toward revitalizing downtown was a promise city staffers made to residents as they continued to improve Kalispell.

Cayenne eventually has her baby. It's a horrifying ordeal, though not as horrible as it once was according to ancient, forbidden texts she's uncovered in her travels. At one point, cake didn't trigger an age-up, the dead left the bodies behind, and poverty was everywhere.
The world they live in is so manufactured and perfect. Luis insists there is something fake and sinister behind the perfection... but Cayenne cannot help feeling like she'd rather be normal, and enjoy it, instead of be cursed with this burden of ensuring it is one day torn down.
That's the goal, after all... make sure the cycle doesn't start again. But what is their world, without its lies? What happens when everyone is released from the curse?
As she settles the infant girl into Lucida's old crib, she feels a crack in her resolve to find her big sister. Cayenne misses Parsley, but she and Luis still don't know how to find her. It doesn't seem fair to drag this child onto the uncertain road ahead.
Cayenne begins to sob as she recalls her own childhood, filled with all the luxuries a film star's daughter could expect. The baby's father features prominently in those memories; Chervil was always there for her, until he wasn't.
He doesn't even know about the child.
Luis tries to comfort his sister.
She straightens up and stares at him, but does not seem to see him. She lived through the loss of her parents, her home, most of her siblings, and her boyfriend... she watched her twin suffer as his psychic abilities turned their world upside down and inside out... yet now she is more sad than she has ever been. She cannot hold the feelings of hopelessness at bay anymore. "I don't know if I can do this, Loki."
There's a saying: names have power. Her brother frowns at the sound of his real name, the one their well-intentioned but silly film star father gave him. She understands why he feels negative about being named after a mythological Norse trickster involved with the end times.
"She's going to be okay," he promises.
He is genuinely pleased to meet his niece. "Hello, Ceth."
"Seth is a boy's name," Cayenne protests meekly.
"No, it starts with a C, like your name." Luis is emphatic about this point. "I like it. I like the letters."
Ceth's father also had a C-name. Cayenne tries not to tear up all over again. She hadn't given much thought to naming their child. "Okay," she sighs. "Ceth it is, then."
"Ceth is what it has always been," he corrects.
Lucida is unaware of Ceth's distant blood relation to her. The protective instinct she feels towards this helpless, noisy fleshball has come from accepting Cayenne and Luis as part of her pack regardless of their origins.
"It took her seriously forever to have this baby," Lucida remarks. "What gives, Dad?"
"Cayenne's healing abilities must have been interfering with the whole... process," Reggie theorizes.
A new baby in the nursery means Lucida finally gets to move out of it and into her own bedroom. Hopefully she'll take that creepy-ass owl painting she likes so much with her.
Izalee is stumped on how to contribute to society. When she goes to the local farmer's market to sell her surplus tomatoes, however, she realizes there is something she's been overlooking.
She registers at city hall as a self-employed agriculturalist.
These aquatic creatures are alive, yet Mech is not. He ponders his existence as he cares for them.
In total, there are six seahorses in the tank. They're shy.
Lucida and Benino's second date is at Danza, same as the first.
The feel of the second date is much different from the first, however, since Danza has attracted a crowd tonight.
Taking advantage of the classy music, Ben tries to teach Lucida to waltz. This is far more high-brow than she is used to, but she goes along with it, flattered that someone of such prissy standards even wants to give her the time of day.
And hey look, Venessa is here.
Venessa's attempts to woo Fred Taylor here go completely ignored.
Even creepier, Fred is the newlywed husband of one of the Giordano clan (namely, her cousin Maria's daughter Emily). For shame, Venessa.
After leaving Reggie, Venessa was in a relationship with the far younger Gilberto GilsCarbo, but now that Gilberto has spawned children with Ambra Ferrari, Venessa has stepped out of the way.
WTF is happening at this bar?!
Alright, that's a little better I guess.
Lucida could do a lot worse than Benino Rossi for a first boyfriend, she decides, so she asks him to go steady before some other girl inevitably can.
Benino responds positively.
Lucida shows her happiness with action.
She must be like ten times stronger than him. Luckily Ben thinks this is hot.
Poor Fred is very popular tonight. Maybe he should not have left his new wife at home with the baby. She could have helped him fend off this cougar pack.
The teens round out their night with a couple of glasses of Starry Seas.
Lucida gets... slightly buzzed?
She saunters over to Marta and orders shrimp cocktails....
...only to quickly realize it was a bad idea.
Ewwwww. They don't even have deep fried breading around them.
How can Benino eat this???
They go upstairs for a while to chill. Lucida has never played pool before, but wants to try a trick shot she saw on TV once. It involves a gnome.
"Gnomes are jerks, you know," she says.
After then it's time to go home, because curfew.
Ben makes it home on time, but Lucida does not. Her father threatens to turn her into a toad if she breaks curfew again.
"Yeah right, Dad. You can't turn people into toads."
Etc.: Reggie rolled a wish to turn someone into a toad. So.

Lately I've gotten heavy into the political talk and not so much on comics talk, so today let me try to balance the scales a bit.
Marvel's Fear Itself storyline.
Fear Itself was one of the better blockbuster storylines that Marvel has done in recent years. Ever since the dreadful Civil War, I tend to be leery of Marvel's blockbusters, but this one helped redeem their cred a bit. If they keep this up, then they could get back into my good graces. :-) I pretty much ignored the tie-ins, as I usually do with the tie-ins to the blockbuster storylines of both of the big comics companies, because tie-ins to me are what 3D is to the movie industry: A pretty and unnecessary accessory.
However, I did read Fear Itself: Home Front, because I was curious to see how they would play out the whole story of Speedball and his return to the city that was the scene of his fall from grace a few years back. This was nicely done and the responses from the different characters – especially from the woman who lost a child from the tragedy that triggered the Civil War storyline in the first place. Without giving away much of what happens in the story, let's just say that her response to his assistance redeemed him a bit in her eyes, but she still can't forget that she lost a son because of him. "Forgive, but not forget", in other words; which is completely logical. Kudos to Marvel for this one.
DC Comics 52 "reboot"
I'm still reserving judgment on this. While there is a kind of novelty to rebooting familiar characters, I'm still not sold on what they've done so far. My thinking is "why fix what's not broken?", especially in rebooting the whole line of comics, instead of testing it out as an "alternate universe". I guess what's tainting my thinking is their recent Brightest Day series – one so bad and convoluted that I stopped buying them, representing the first time I've ever stopped reading a limited series before it was done. Those who know my love for comics know that this is a rather shocking development on my part! My fear is that they are taking what they did with BD and expanding it to the whole DC franchise. I hope I'm wrong about it, but if the whole of DC gets infected with this BD virus, then I might have to stop reading DC altogether – which would be an even greater shocking development. Let's hope that it doesn't come to that!
War of the Independents limited series
I really wanted to love War of the Independents, since it's a collection of characters not with the "Big Two", but what should be its strength is actually its weakness. There's just too many characters to keep up with! Plus, having superhero characters together with cartoony characters like Gumby just doesn't make sense. Granted, it's a comic book and pretty much anything goes – "suspend your disbelief" and all that - but the overabundance of characters means that too many characters are trying to get your attention, so it ends up that none of them do.
Also, the different styles of art virtually with every page can sometimes get jarring, and it's really a distraction from the story flow. Anytime you have to remove yourself from a story to notice something like that is not good. I do appreciate the effort and I am totally down with the idea and concept – I just think it needs to be worked a little differently.
You all know that I am nothing if not opinionated, so here's my take on what they might try another time: Same idea, same concept, but try to create stories of characters that are similar; for example, pair Gumby with Usagi Yojimbo, Bone, Cerberus, Milk, Cheese, and the other cartoony looking characters. Have one of the artists used to drawing in this cartoony style to do the artwork.
Then another story can be done in an oddball style using Too Much Coffee Man, Zippy the Pinhead, The Flaming Carrot, and perhaps Megaton Man, The Tick, and The Maxx; again by an artist used to drawing in that style.
Yet other stories could be built around the superheroes who have certain common themes, like the ghost/zombie/otherwise undead, or those built around a patriotic theme, or perhaps an all-girl story. Tying them all together can be an overall theme, perhaps all of them saving the universe in their own, special way.
Anyway, by using this pairing up method of the similar style characters, it gives each of them more of a chance to show what it is about each of them that appealed to their fans, and in the process, perhaps they can attract new fans. With a little organization, this can really work, and pulled off in the way that I think it can be done, it could do well enough to make the big guy comic companies at least take momentary notice. With that, you guys would have your own little Occupy moment in the comics world, and that would be an Occupy movement that I could totally support. :-)

|Archangel Gabriel in St. Pancras, London
It somehow makes everything appear shiny and new - and very peaceful.
Snow always reminds me of Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel's aura color is white and his special area is purity, clarity and harmony. I often use Snow Quartz (a milky white variety of quartz) or white pearls to connect with Archangel Gabriel.
Although Archangel Raphael is the angel who I have the strongest bond with and who appears most prominently in my life (to the extent that my younger son chose Raphael as his middle name when I was pregnant with him) at night, in my dream life, I always go to Gabriel's retreat in the etheric above Mount Shasta in California to be taught there.
In my book "The Tao of Mermaids" I also talk about how much I love pearls, and how both me and my younger son (who was born at home in water) connect strongly to the water element (which Gabriel oversees).

Members of St. Mark's Episcopal Church plan to walk in silence to church on Palm Sunday to celebrate Christ's walk and entrance into Jerusalem. The congregation plans to begin its walk at the Food Lion parking Lot on Sharpsburg Pike.
The walk begins at 9:30 a.m. Sunday with a short prayer, and the group will walk approximately one mile to the church on Lappans Road. The walk will take approximately 55 minutes and will be concluded at the steps of St. Mark's. Parish Hall.
The following guidelines are provided:
- Prepare your body prior to the walk with food and liquids sufficient to sustain you for a one-hour walk.
- Wear comfortable layered clothes, a hat and walking shoes appropriate for the weather conditions. The group should arrive by 10:30 a.m. All walkers are welcome to attend any church service in their walking clothes on Palm Sunday. If the weather conditions are extreme, call Dave Wills at 301-213-1406 to see if the walk is canceled.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan
The Blue City
This was a highly anticipated destination for me. A long, long time ago, in my suburban, Midwestern, teenage angst, amidst my endless internet searches for all the far away places I would go one day (and boobs), I came across the work of a photographer named Steve McCurry. He had taken the most amazing photographs of places I had never even heard of, one of them being a city that was painted entirely blue, in some far off land. I was enthralled as I clicked through the pictures of children running down the distinct, baby blue alleyways. I don't remember ever bothering to see exactly where the photos had been taken, as the practicalities of actually getting to places like this had no application for the younger me, who was trapped. The older me however, made a point to dig these photos back up, and figure out how to get himself there.
The name of the blue city is Jodhpur. Jodhpur is the "2nd city" of the West-Indian province of Rajasthan. Rajasthan, the largest province in all of India, is mostly arid and dry, similar to the climate of Southern California. By the time it reaches the Pakistani border, it has become a full-blown desert. The topography of the region isn't much to look at, but the culture is intriguing and vibrant. Brightly colored turbans and epic-ly curled mustaches are fashion fixtures on every man walking through the streets. Women have bright eyes, veiled by vibrant silky cloth. People really don't get much more photogenic.
So let's disembark from my Rajasthani fantasies and get into the reality of it all.
When I got off my train in Jodhpur it was very late at night. As I walked out of the train station, a man was pestering me to take his tuk-tuk. After a month in India, I make a point of never doing business with the first guy that runs up to me. These guys are always scammers who wait around at train stations for tourists. I tried to talk to other tuk-tuk drivers but they all offered me prices that were even higher. I was suspicious that they were colluding to force me to take the original man's tuk-tuk. The jury is still out on this conspiracy theory, but with no other options I had to go with the first guy. He charged me 200 INR (3.03 USD) for a ride that should have cost 70 (1.06 USD). Jodhpur was off to a rough start.
Now, I don't mind paying a high price, as long as it is the correct price. Tuk-tuk drivers tried to pull this sort of thing on me quite a few other times in Jodhpur, but I never allowed myself to be a victim of it again. Ever. This was officially my last straw of India. I was so sick and tired of being ripped off. On the outskirts of a city like Jodhpur, it's a long walk to get anywhere, so tuk-tuk drivers will speak to you as if you have no choice but to do business with one of them. Well there's an alternative: walk! There will undoubtedly be another tuk-tuk that passes you within 2 minutes, but if there isn't, don't worry—Rajasthan is one of the safest provinces in India. It's a good place to walk.
Hostel Review: Zostel
Price: 300 INR (4.63 USD) per night
I stayed at a hostel called Zostel. There are a chain of Zostels in different Indian cities, so I thought it was a safe bet that it would be good. In this neck of the woods, institutions are usually more reliable than sole proprietorships. As it turned out, I was correct. The hostel itself was great, but there was one problem: the location. The fact that it was on "Airport Road" should have been a dead giveaway. It was a 70 INR (1.06 USD) tuk-tuk ride into the actual city, but usually it would take me snarling at a few drivers before they gave me the "Indian price" which is code for the "non-rip-off price". I was really starting to get mean with some of these drivers.
If I could go back and do it again though... I'd probably be meaner.
Guesthouse Review: Keser Heritage Guesthouse
Price: 492 INR (5.60 USD) per night
I would eventually come back through Jodhpur on my way to Mumbai. The 2nd time around, I took the recommendation of a friend and stayed at Keser Heritage Guesthouse. It was in the very heart of Jodhpur, with a great view of the fort, but that was the only perk. The wifi didn't work, and the rooms were hot and stuffy like coffins. The staff was pretty helpful and friendly though, which I appreciated. As I was checking out one of the workers was showing me out and said "Cholo Pakistan!"
"... sorry, what?" I responded, tired.
He told me it means 'Let's go to Pakistan!' It was a joke he liked to make. Saying that you are going to Pakistan is even more ridiculous in India than it is in America. I lol'd.
Jodhpur Itinerary
I was feeling a little bit disenchanted with Jodhpur already, but I still had 2 main objectives for my time there.
1. The Blue City
2. The Fortress
I made multiple rounds of both of them, so for organizational purposes, let's begin with the fortress.
Mehrangarh Fortress
It's foundations were laid in 1459 on the orders of Jodhpur's founder, Rao Jodha. Standing 410 feet (125 meters) above the rest of Jodhpur, Mehrangarh is one of the biggest fortresses in all of India. That's about as much of the history as I feel is interesting, so let's get back to the present.
I didn't actually get to go into the fortress until the 2nd time I visited. The first time I visited, after my long tuk-tuk ride over, and my long hike up to the gates, they turned me away. It turned out that I had neglected to buy a ticket at the bottom of the hill before making the climb. When I arrived at the top it was 4:57pm. They stopped selling tickets at 5:00pm so, alas, I was out of time. The guard was kind of a dick about it too. I was not happy. Here are some shots from the ride up to the fortress:
The 2nd time I visited I came early in the day. The ticket to get in cost 400 INR (6.05 USD). There was an audio tour available if I paid extra and surrendered my passport to them as collateral for the headset. Seeing this fortress had already been expensive enough without all that though, and couldn't be bothered to give them my passport, so I declined the audio tour. Here's a few pictures from around the fortress, outside of the actual museum:
The fortress, though impressive to look at from down below in the city, was less impressive to actually explore. This is mostly due to the fact that almost everywhere that I wanted to go inside the fortress was blocked off. It also didn't help that the guards who patrolled the fortress were all on a huge power trip. The exhibits in the museum were interesting though… I guess. Most of them were artifacts related to Indian fashion and extravagance from hundreds of years ago – lifestyles of the rich and famous. There was a collection of litters (that is the word for thrones that were carried on the shoulders of servants) and an outrageous assortment of turbans worn by the passengers of these litters.
I wasn't feeling overly enriched by this small collection of artifacts, so I decided to do some off-roading. I found a few cool little ponds and temples, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of this fortress, but the best part of Jodhpur was hiding in plain sight a few hundred meters below.
The Blue City
This is what I had really come to see. But before I get into the actual pictures of it, let me address the elephant in the room. WHY is this city painted blue? Good question. The short answer is that we're not exactly sure. It could be any (or all) of the following reasons:
- Rajasthan is really hot, and blue paint helps to maintain a cooler temperature inside the houses.
- The chemicals in the blue paint they used to paint the city deters bugs, like mosquitoes and termites.
- Blue is the color of the Brahmins, which is India's priestly caste. Historically, many (if not all) of these houses belonged to them.
In my initial walks through the city, I was crestfallen to discover that not ALL of the city is blue. A lot of Jodhpur looks pretty standard. Here's a few shots of the not blue city.
I was feeling pretty disappointed. But then, after I was turned away from Mehrangarh Fortress, (the 1st time) I did some sneaking. Sunset was already in progress, and I knew that there were no shortage of beautiful views to be had from this behemoth of a fortress, so I was looking for a stoop with a view. I talked my way past a guard and snuck through an elevated dirt lot that was within the castle walls. A couple utility vehicles were the only inhabitants of this lot.
Once I reached the other side of this lot I crawled down, through the thorny bramble, to a small pond. It was hidden away on the side of the fortress. Off in the distance I could hear the thumping base of Hindi dance music whafting up over the city. Eventually I found my way up to a ledge with a nice view of Jodhpur, and that was when I saw it. The blue city is real. Wherever I had been earlier in the day, I had been lost.
I sat on that ledge until nightfall, watching the West Indian sun slide down over the horizon. The hue of blue buildings changed as they went from daylight, to twilight, to streetlights. It was seriously beautiful. Maybe Jodhpur wasn't so bad.
I went down into the city that night via the fortress's back door. That's when I really discovered the blue city. It's kind of tucked away. I didn't see any other travelers wandering around, so I wondered how many people actually ended up venturing over this far. Jodhpur is pretty big. It would be easy to never come here. It was a beautiful walk, even in the dark, but I knew that I had to come back to see it in the light of day.
I went to the same point, and did roughly the same walk the next day. Here's some pictures from that walk:
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the people were to me. It took me about 2 minutes to get scammed when I first arrived in Jodhpur, and that had colored my expectations about its inhabitants. Here though, tucked away in the shade of Mehrangarh Fortress, far from the main "touristy areas", I experienced a great deal of kindness. They acted as if they hadn't seen many travelers before, curiously ogling me. Sometimes I would catch beautiful glimpses into these people's homes, and I would try to take a picture through a window or gate. More often than not, the residents of said home would catch me in the act (maybe I wasn't being as sneaky as I thought) and invite me in for a more thorough photo shoot. One group of men even shared their meal with me, which was profoundly kind. I was very aware that I didn't deserve this type of hospitality. I was a sweaty, smelly, hairy traveler. To my credit though, I did have a mustache at the time. Perhaps that was what won over their trust.
Like many other places in India, the most common request I received was to take pictures of people. I have quite a lot of portraits from Jodhpur. Sometimes the people in the pictures, despite having just asked me to take them, didn't actually want to see them. Other times they rushed to my side to see their photo shoot play out on the screen of my camera. "Do not delete!" one man said to me, giving me the thumbs up very seriously.
My favorite portrait of all of them however, was this one. THIS is a mustache, folks. Rajasthan does it right!
From Jodhpur, I hadn't yet made up my mind as to what exactly I would do next. It was a last-minute, game-time decision, and I decided to head farther west to a city called Jaisalmer. This is actually just about the farthest west you can go in India before you run into Pakistan. It is the last desert outpost of India. Beyond that is nothing but desert before the border. It was going to be a 6 hour train ride from Jodhpur.
Next stop: Jaisalmer, and the Thar Desert

(out from deep-cover lurking...) I saw this article several days ago in the San Francisco Chronicle. I think this just another step in revealing alien technology to the human race. And it also explains the aliens' need for boron, that substance so plentiful in southeastern California. Only three ounces a day will produce 50 megawatts continously.... that is probably why the alien's impact on our supply has not even been noticed. And since the Office of Naval Research (reported to be the PRIMARY agency involved with Area 51 now) is involved, it must be true! They will ACT like they're testing some new device so that they can do a full-scale roll out of this 'breakthrough' technology in about 3-8 years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 21, 1997 Physicists Announce Creation of Low-Cost Fusion Reactor Energy alternative to fossil fuels Charles Petit, Chronicle Science Writer Physicists in California and Florida say they have designed a compact, boron-fueled fusion reactor that would make low-cost electricity with no radiation hazards and may be much easier to build than the monster machines now favored by major federal programs. If it, or other new ideas for fusion reactors, do work, they would have immense impact on the world's economy, and on worries over greenhouse warming of the climate from the burning of fossil fuels. Units of the new design would be small enough to be built anywhere. A drawing of a proposed prototype shows a machine about four times the size of a city bus. It would generate 50 megawatts of power -- enough for a town of about 50,000 people.

Foreclosure rates are tumbling nationwide, but one mortgage tycoon might have missed the memo. Bill Erbey foreclosed on more than 1,000 homes last quarter through Altisource Residential.
The number sets a new record, according to the New York Post. Erbey is also the chairman of mortgage servicer Ocwen Financial. Ocwen, in turn, is one of Altisource's biggest clients, which means that Erbey stands to win big from the foreclosures of the 1,022 properties, industry experts told the newspaper.
This summer, New York State Department of Financial Services chairman Benjamin Lawsky opened an investigation into Ocwen's relationship with Altisource to determine whether it was enriching itself at the expense of homeowners. [NYP] — Claire Moses

Hurrah. Was very excited when she made the nominees list and now she has gone and won it, 10 years after winning it the first time!
G'wan Peej!
Good that she actually made it to the bash this time as well. The last time she was watching the Pentagon burning from her hotel window in Washington. No, really!
I remember when I was first listening to the record over and over when it was released in February of this year and soon after, the earthquake and Tsunami happened in Japan killing thousands of people. One of the most hard-hitting songs on it, All And Everyone (below), chimed with the horrific images we were seeing in the news. It seemed to soundtrack the horror which I think is why it still conjures such powerful and heart-breaking images in my mind. It's truly brilliant and you can check it out below.
Anyway, 'nuff of the deepness! Good on Anna Calvi, Ghostpoet, Metronomy and all the rest of the nominees. It'll only do good things for their careers I'm sure.
As we predicted right on Amazing Breakfast now I'm going to go and be smug (and regretful at the same time that I didn't put money on it) until I see her at Bestival.

Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
Strana 1 od 1 • Delite •
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
- Kod:
Marine Corps Sergeant John M. Stryker is a tough guy with an even
tougher job--turn a platoon of raw recruits into a combat-ready
fighting machine. He pushes them mentally and physically to their
limits--with discipline, hard work, and sometimes with his fists--and
they hate him for it, especially Pfc. Conway (John Agar), the son of
Stryker's former CO. Soon Stryker's lessons and their courage are put
to the test in a costly skimish, but the worst is yet to come in one of
World War II's fiercest battles, the taking of Iwo Jima. Actual combat
footage and the famous flag-raising scene on Mt. Suribachi highlight
this gripping human drama of heroism and conquest.
Marine sergeant John Stryker seems a martinet and a bully as he trains
young Marines for combat in the Pacific war. In the end, as survival in
the bloody battle of Iwo Jima depends on the lessons Stryker has
drilled into them, his troops discover why he was so hard on them.
Written by Jim Beaver {firstname.lastname@example.com}
After his wife takes their son and leaves him, Sgt. John Stryker is an
embittered man who takes his misery out on the men under his command.
They're a bunch of green recruits who have a hard time dealing with
Stryker's tough drills and thicker skin. Even his old friends start to
wonder if he's gone from being the epitome of the tough Marine drill
instructor to a man over the edge. Written by Alfred Jingle
In a role that defined John Wayne in the American mythos, the Duke
plays Sgt. John Stryker, a tough-as-nails Marine charged with turning
recruits into fighting men during World War II. Both Stryker's troops
and his peers question his harsh methods, but the resolute Sarg turns a
deaf ear. Director Allan Dwan's Academy Award-nominated war drama is
punctuated with real combat footage, and the flag-raising scene on
Mount Suribachi hypnotizes.
When you watch a movie like "Saving Private Ryan" or "Full Metal
Jacket", those movies owe their existance because of this movie. But
even more than that, this film defined John Wayne to the world more
than any western or war movie did before. A very important film to
watch if you love film history, and it's even better because 55 years
in the future, it's still entertaining and doesn't feel very dated.
This is partly do to the fact that they used real war footage for some
of the battle scenes mixed in with shots of the actors running across
the beach.
How well does this portray the way the Armed Forces sees itself? To my
knowledge, the Marine Corps still shows this film to ALL recruits in
boot camp. This movie is hard to the core and good for the Corps. After
watching this movie, you'd follow your sergeant to the Gates of Hell,
too. Boo-ya!
