Written and Directed by Max Landis
Starring Luke Bracey, Dustin Milligan, Emily Meade,
Alia Shawkat, Haley Joel Osment, Geena Davis, Scott Bakula
You know how in Lethal Weapon when Danny Glover's Murtaugh says "I'm too old for this shit" and you laugh because you're young and you have no idea what he's talking about (How can anyone be too old for stuff?)?
Well Max Landis' (screenwriter of Chronicle, Victor Frankenstein and American Ultra) directorial debut, Me Him Her makes you feel like Murtaugh, if you aren't a Millennial, you're too old for this, well, not shit, but something just as annoying, and, to be honest, it's disappointing to realize that.
Me Him Her's premise seems like it would be an interesting one: TV star Brenden (Luke Bracey) is ready to admit that he's gay but wants his best friend Cory (Dustin Milligan) to come out to LA to be his emotional support when he tells his parents (Geena Davis and Scott Bakula).
The "Her" in the story is lesbian Gabbi (Emily Meade) who has just suffered a brutal break-up with her girlfriend and drunkenly hooks up with Cory at a gay bar and now has to deal with the fact that she kind of likes him.
All of this "Coming Out/Coming to realize" really does have the potential to provide a deeply moving and darkly funny story, unfortunately in this case it gets lost in a sea of thrown-together 90s pop culture references and manic humor that seems better suited to a YouTube video and not a 98 minute film.
While there are a few funny bits in the film (Haley Joel Osment playing himself – as Brenden's co-star in the TV show Hard Justice – is great), the film itself feels like a blob of insider friend jokes mixed together with a dash of Red Bull and thrown against a wall to see what happens. It might work for a particular niche audience, but for most people, their inner Murtaugh wins out in the end.
What's unfortunate is that Max Landis is a talented writer and knows how to create a good story. He's even adept at comedy, most notably his short, The Death and Return of Superman, which is amazingly good, but Me Him Her is not a good representation of what Landis is capable of and that is sincerely discouraging to any fan of his.
Hopefully for Landis, his next attempt will be less chaotic and more in line with the level of skill seen in his previous screenplays and shorts.
That'll make Murtaugh will be happy.

Bi-Se-Te mineralization from Úhorná (Spišsko Gemerské Rudohorie Mts., Słovakia): A preliminary report
An unusual association of Se minerals was studied. Se enters into the structures of sulphosalts - into bournonite, jamesonite and tintinaite at concentrations up to 0.10, 0.38 and 1.11 apfu, respectively. However, Se and Te, together with Bi, also form discrete minerals such as tetradymite, laitakarite, ikunolite and hedleyite. Members of the laitakarite-ikunolite solid solution display a wide range of anion substitution from the nearly Se-free (0.10 apfu) end member to the S-poor (0.42 apfu) end member. Their contents of Te are low. Accompanying tetrahedrite does not contain Se or Te.
Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Nižná Boca Sb-Au Hydrothermal Ore Deposit (Western Carpathians, Slovakia)
Samples from hydrothermal Sb-Au mineralization in the area SE of Nižná Boca village in the N&iAzke Tatry Mountains were investigated using a variety of geochemical and mineralogical methods. Ore minerals typically occur in N-S striking quartz-carbonate veins hosted by an I-type biotite granodiorite to tonalite of Variscan Age (the Ďumbier Type). Paragenetic associations in the deposit are comparable to other mineralizations of the same type in the Ďumbierske Nízke Tatry Mountains. A quartz-arsenopyrite, pyrite stage of mineralization is the oldest with a calculated temperature of formation of about 445°C. It is followed by a quartz-carbonate-stibnite, zinkenite stage and, in turn, a quartz-carbonate-sphalerite-galena, boulangerite-gold stage. The gold typically contains between 9-18 wt.% Ag regardless of mineral association. No evidence for further generations of gold was found although it is possible that some gold was remobilized from the structure of the auriferous arsenopyrite. The Au and Ag content of the bulk ore ranges from 0.53 g.t-1 to 20.2 g.t-1 and from 0.9 g.t-1 to 31.2 g.t-1, respectively. A tetrahedrite-chalcopyrite stage is followed by a barite-hematite stage - the youngest assemblage in the deposit. Fluid inclusions from the first mineralization stage are usually less than 3 μm in size and contain less than 3.6 wt.% CO2; salinity, density and homogenization temperature range from 2.7-16.3 wt.% NaCl(eq), 0.85-1.03 g.cm-1 and 128-280°C, respectively.
A Note on the Chemical Composition of Nuffieldite Solid-Solution From Sulphide Mineralizations in the Western Carpathians, Slovakia
The chemistry of the rare sulphosalt nuffieldite from three localities in Slovakia is examined. Nuffieldite is a part of a complex association of Bi sulphosalts accompanying tetrahedrite mineralization in some sulphide deposits in the Western Carpathians. Cu + Pb = (Bi, Sb) + vac. substitution in nuffieldite and the general formula Cu1+xPb2Bi2(PbxSbyBi1-x-y)S7 where 0 < x < 0.34; and 0.32 < y < 0.45 are confirmed. Decreasing Sb content with increasing copper content indicates a predominant substitution of Bi by Sb in nuffieldite.
New mineralogical and mineral-chemical data from the Stan Terg deposit, Kosovo, revealed the presence of abundant Bi-sulphotellurides associated with Bi- and Sb-sulphosalts and galena in pyrite–pyrrhotite-rich skarn-free ore bodies (ores without skarn minerals). The Bi-bearing association comprises Bi-sulphotellurides (joséite-A, joséite-B, unnamed phase A with a chemical formula close to (Bi,Pb)2(TeS)2, unnamed phase B with a chemical composition close to (Bi,Pb)2.5Te1.5S1.5), ikunolite, cosalite, Sb-lillianite, members of the kobellite series and Bi-jamesonite. Compositional trends of the Bi-sulphotellurides suggest lattice-scale incorporation of Bi–(Pb)-rich module and/or admixture with submicroscopic PbS layers in modulated structures, or complicated Bi–Te substitution. Cosalite is characterized by high Sb (max. 3.94 apfu), and low Cu and Ag (up to 0.72 apfu of Cu+Ag). Jamesonite from this mineralization has elevated Bi content, from 0.85 to 2.30 apfu. The negligible content of Au and Ag in the Bi-sulphotellurides, the low content of Ag in Bi-sulphosalts, together with the lack of Au–Ag bearing phases in the mineralization, indicate either ore deposition from fluid(s) depleted in precious metals, or physico-chemical conditions of ore formation preventing Au and Ag precipitation at the deposit site. The temperature of initial mineralization may have exceeded 400 °C as suggested by the lamellar exsolution textures observed in lillianite, which indicate breakdown textures from decomposition of high-temperature initial crystals. Non-stoichiometric phases among the Bi-sulphosalts and sulphotellurides studied at Stan Terg reflect modulated growth processes in a metasomatic environment.

The Tennessee Parental Information and Resource Center
(TPIRC) managed by the Tennessee Voices for Children has been
funded by the United States Department of Education for a
five-year cycle, 2006-2011. The current funding cycle ends on
September 30, 2011. A sixth year of funding was proposed by the
United States Department of Education for the PIRCs; however,
recently all 62 PIRCs nationwide, including the United States
territories, were notified that this additional sixth year of
funding will not be available. This will be a great loss
to Tennessee and we will miss not having the level of support
that the TPIRC provided in our state.
Notification Requirements
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA),
reauthorized as No Child Left Behind, requires districts and
schools to notify the parents and parent organizations of the
existence and purpose of the PIRCs [Section
1118(g)]. Since the ESEA has not yet been
reauthorized, Local Educational Agencies (LEAs)/districts and
schools are still required to implement all sections, including the
notification regarding the PIRCs. Be sure to include a
statement and inform parents at parent meetings that the TPIRC
funding ends September 30, 2011.
''(g) Parental Information and Resource
Centers.--In States where parental information and resource centers
have been established pursuant to section 401 of the Goals 2000:
Educate America Act of 1994 (to provide training, information, and
support to parents and individuals who work with parents), local
educational agencies and schools receiving assistance under this
part shall assist parents and parent organizations by informing
such parents and organizations of the existence and purpose of such
centers, providing such parents and organizations with a
description of the services and programs provided by such centers,
advising parents on how to use such centers, and helping parents to
contact such centers.
INFORMATION: Overview
The Parental Information and Resource Center (PIRC) program is a
discretionary grant program funded by the US Department of
Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement. In 2006
PIRCs were awarded to serve statewide needs. PIRCs now provide both
regional and statewide services and disseminate information to
parents on a statewide basis.
Parent Information and Resource Centers (PIRCs) help implement
successful and effective parental involvement policies, programs,
and activities that lead to improvements in student academic
achievement and that strengthen partnerships among parents,
teachers, principals, administrators, and other school personnel in
meeting the education needs of children.
Sec. 5563 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)
requires the recipients of PIRC grants to: serve both rural and
urban areas; use at least half their funds to serve areas with high
concentrations of low-income children; and use at least 30 percent
of the funds they receive for early childhood parent program.
The Rhea County School District is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience and in compliance with Section 508 guidelines. If you have accessibility concerns or any issues viewing our content, please call 423-775-7812.

Divorce often conjures up images of nasty court battles and high-stress, high-conflict situations. However, the good news is that not all divorces have to be this way. There are ways to proceed through a divorce in a respectful and dignified manner, which can help reduce the overall conflict and emotional stress for everyone involved.
Learn three ways about how to proceed through your divorce in a way that minimizes conflict and maximizes the chance that both spouses will emerge from the process with respect and dignity.
1. Hire a certified mediator
Certified mediators help families work through a divorce in a collaborative way. Certified mediators in Fort Myers are specifically trained in problem-solving methods that can help divorcing couples find common ground and come to shared decisions that are in the best interest of both spouses and their entire family, especially if there are children. A mediator will work with clients in a negotiation process that takes their specific needs and wishes into account to develop an agreement that is suitable and satisfactory to both spouses.
2. Make protecting children a priority
Unfortunately, children are sometimes used like "pawns" in the divorce, as if it were a game where one spouse must ultimately win and the other must lose. This approach is inherently harmful to children, who are already facing a traumatic time in the separation of their parents. Through making children a priority and working actively to ensure their best interests, both spouses can focus on the matters pertaining to their divorce rather than using their children as tools for gaining power over each other.
3. Try to avoid blame
Spouses often blame each other in divorce, but couples who can find ways to avoid blaming are able to have more respectful divorces. If a couple can find ways to try to understand what led to the divorce without immediately seeking to blame each other, it can help pave the way for collaborative decision making.

When it comes to getting the most power out of your bench press shoulder positioning can be the difference between breaking a max record or tearing your shoulders to pieces.
One of the most common mistakes beginners make when bench pressing is they bench across their shoulders instead of across the chest which is the muscle you are trying to focus on when benching. This simple mistake can lead to years of damage being done to the shoulders and unknown amounts of gains being left behind due to lack of chest engagement when performing the movement.
This form mistake is also the biggest reason why people justify doing "half-reps" or stopping at 90 degrees. They say going all the way down is bad for your shoulders, and I agree with them 100%! But I agree with them only because their form is wrong to begin with.
At least once a week I show someone this technique and all of a sudden I am their new best friend. Shoulder pain is gone, they can finally "feel" their chest being engaged throughout the movement and they instantly see that once perfected they will be able to substantially increase their overall strength.
Barbell Bench Press
To perform the "Bench Slide" on the barbell bench press you need to first get into your barbell bench press starting stance. Plant your feet on the ground, open up your hips, squeeze your glutes, arch your back, and place your hands on the barbell. Once in place, without moving your feet, swing forward while keeping your hands on the barbell so that you increase the arch of your back and "slide-down" the bench. Once you have slid down about one foot, retract and drive your shoulders into the bench as you slide up toward the barbell and stop once your body is returned to your bench press starting stance. At this point you should feel like your shoulders are retracted back as much as they can and you are now ready to perform the movement with your maximum power and zero should pain!
Dumbbell Bench Press
To perform the "Bench Slide" on the dumbbell bench press you need to grab your dumbbells and sit on the bench with the dumbbells in your hands resting on your quads close to your knees. Once in place, retract your shoulders "back & down". It is very important you focus on bringing them "down" because if you only retract your shoulders "back", this could still lead to you benching too high and cause shoulder pain or an injury. Next, with your arms straight, roll back and kick the dumbbells up with your knees by pushing off your toes. This will allow you to maintain your retracted shoulders as you roll back and get into your bench press stance to being the movement with your maximum power and zero shoulder pain!

I've always wondered about this. First, it looks like a really painful set-up. Second, it looks like you'd be forcing half reps because the point where the bar would touch would be higher than normal. It also looks like an accident waiting to happen (no offense) like seeing someone bench pressing with their feet up in the air. I'm probably just not understanding this. I always put the bar on my xiphoid process anyway (guess there is an advantage to having one that projects).
Well, this is the proper way to bench so that you avoid putting pressure on your shoulders. Takes a strong core to arch like that, have you tried it with light weight?

|Trimming this evening - yardwork in the late afternoon - my Zen time
Today was one of those rare treats....perfect weather. The rains fell just about all day yesterday. This after a long, hot dry spell. After yesterday's rain, everything seemed to "pop" up. The greens were greener, the colors were brighter. Yes, the plants love a big drink of water from the heavens. I can water them with my water pail but nothing sets newly transplanted plants in the ground that a good soaking from JC.
So what is going on in my world? Well, I had to work today. Normally I work two nights a week, 3 pm to 11 pm. Yesterday one of my full-time co-workers called and asked if I could take her 7 am to 3 pm shift today. I consented. Working day shift is totally different that the night shift. For one thing I open the hotel, set out the breakfast, collect the newspapers, and put my hospitality personality on full display for the manager and owner of the hotel, who are in during the day. Yes folks, working the day shift is totally different and I am exhausted.
|The lobby at the Inn in the early morning daylight - a rare sight for me
Why am I exhausted? Mostly because of my continuing radiation treatment (seed implants). I've been following discussions on the medical website Inspire.com which is a group discussion of folks like me who are dealing with cancer and other medical issues. I've been involved the past two weeks with a couple of discussion groups of other men like me who underwent the brachytherapy surgery. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm not the only one having these after effects. The bad news is that I am having these after effects which could continue as long as 18 months or as long as the seeds are radioactive. What are the after effects? You know but if I have to remind you, bowel movement, urination, fatigue, burning sensations, all the "fun" stuff. Oh well, I guess it's better than the alternative.
Today after work I asked Bill if he wanted to go with me to the Rehoboth Diner. Since I didn't have lunch (very difficult to eat lunch at work so I skip it) I was hungry and thought a good, greasy Eggplant Parm would hit the spot. He acquiesced (Bill hates to go to restaurants) and we had a 4 o'clock dinner. I'm still digesting it at this hour of 8:04 pm. Be careful what you wish for.
|The eggplant, fries and roll were good. The cup of pea soup awful. Bill's milkshake good but expensive $4.50. We won't be getting that again. We'll get a half gallon of ice cream and make our own milk shake (or two, or three, or four)
I'm not watching much TV these days. I used to watch MSNBC but since the Repugs are on a "It's worse that Watergate" witch hunt and the news media are all getting hard ons eager to oblige, I have no interest in following that phony drama. I'm more interested in following the real drama of our local Republican politicians who got elected to office with the promise to "stop the gay agenda" and all five of them voted against the Marriage Equality act in spite of the fact that their county (Sussex) has the fourth large gay couple population in the United States. Yessiree folks, we have some work to do right here in
See here for today's column by Dan Flood recent our recent local election for state senator and state representative where both gay candidates lost to the straight "family values" candidates. Those darn gay candidates, they should leave there gay agendas at home.


text: I am a type A personality who likes to be on the go, try new activities, and meet new people. I am a marathon runner and vegetarian, so quite health-conscious. I love to help other people and to promote learning and education. I'm also a passionate lover and seek the same.

My Experience:
With this curriculum the Bible is the textbook which gave me an opportunity to study the Bible together with my 6 year old daughter. Since I had the opportunity of doing this with her, I'm able to help her understand the principles so she may apply them in every area of her life. Just a few weeks ago, my daughter learned about Creation , The Flood, and The Tower of Babel. Since these were some topics she had already learned, I decided to go over Lecture 3 Creation-Flood just to make sure she had understood the stories. In this lecture, Bill Burtness explains Genesis. He mentions how all government has been given to God. When we sing or say God is Lord we are talking about government. Bill Burtness also explains the story of Adam and Eve. When the serpent manipulated and lied to Eve to cleverly get her to eat from the Tree of Wisdom. In this lecture, the vendor asked his students to look at a diagram, however, I was unable to see it because I was listening to the audio. In this lecture Bill Burtness also explains the story of Cain and Abel and how jealousy turned to murder. All these stories accorded before the Flood when the type of government was "anarchy and vengeance." After the Flood, "authority was given to man for a specific purpose; to protect the sanctity of human life made in the image of God." Once I finished listening to the lecture, I explained the lesson to my daughter and had her complete some of the suggested note book activities.The activities had grade levels printed on them so it was easy for me to look at the grade and see if the activity was appropriate for my 6 year old. The suggested activities were a bit hard to decipher what was written on them. The hand writing was not clear and some of the activities did not state what the child had to do to complete them. One of the activities reviewed was the verse Genesis 3:11. In this verse God approached Adam and Eve and asked them if they had eaten from the Tree of Wisdom. On the top of the page was the question " Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat?" written on it. On the left side of the paper, there was a "happy face" and the word "right" written beneath it. On the right side of the paper there was a "sad face" and the word "wrong" under it. Written on the bottom of the page was the verse "Choose for yourself this day whom you will serve.. Joshua 24:15." I'm not exactly sure how she was to complete the assignment so I had her write two behaviors which God would approve of above the "happy face." Above the "sad face" I asked her to write two behaviors that God would find to be inappropriate. When I continued to look at the suggested note book activities, I came across an activity suggested for a 4th grader but I decided we could complete it together. The activity was called 'Creation Command" and the student was suppose to write three statements. Each statement was an example of a traffic light. For the green light, the student would write something that God would want her to do. For the yellow, the statement written had to do with a situation that might become inappropriate and therefore not right in the sight of God. The last statement dealt with the red light. The student would write something pertaining to a situation that would break one of God's commands. This is my assumption of the activity. The last activity my daughter completed for Lecture 3 was one teaching her about God's love. Printed on the sheet of paper were two arks. One of the arks had Noah's name written on the top of it and a rainbow drawn in the center of the ark. On the right side of the paper was the word "Me" written on the top of the ark and a cross drawn in the middle of the ark. I was unsure of what my daughter was suppose to do to complete the assignment so I asked her to color both of the arks. I also explained to her how God placed the rainbow in the sky (hence the rainbow draw in the middle of one of the arks) to remind us of His promise to Noah. I also explained the other picture by reminding her of His promise to us. That our sins are forgiven for those that except Him as our Lord and Savior (the cross drawn in the center of the other ark). Another lecture I decided to listen to was Lecture 8 Key Individuals Joseph. In this Training Audio Seminar Mr. Bill talks about Joseph and his experiences with his brothers and later in Egypt.While listening to the audio, a female individual asked a question and unfortunately, I could not understand what she had asked. There was some background noise and the question was not repeated by the speaker. I did enjoy listening to scripture being quoted especially verse Jeremiah 29:11. This is one of my favorite quotes. It says "For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." I love this verse. After I listened to the Training Audio Seminar, I viewed the suggested notebook ideas but unfortunately I did not see any activities for her grade level pertaining to Joseph. All of the stories are retold via the Training Audio Seminar so if someone did not have a bible available, the adult could still understand the lesson and teach the child. Time lines and maps are recommended but the lessons could be taught without them.
My Overall Thoughts:
The lectures were a bit long and with two kids running around it was a bit difficult to listen to all at once. I would recommend the curriculum but not for young children. Even though my daughter really enjoyed revisiting the story of Creation, The Flood, The Tower of Babel, and Joseph, it was time consuming for me to listen to the lectures and then present the information to her. I found it helpful to browse the website judahbible. Even though I would have to come up with my own explanation on how to complete the activities, I still found ideas that I may use for her Bible notebook. The Scope and Sequence section was also informative. This gave me an overview of the summary of the Bible Keys my daughter would be studying with this curriculum. The web site also had a power point presentation in which the vendor talked about the Three Philosophies of Government. The first one was "Individual is Sovereign" in which there's no government. It's basically an anarchy. The next one was "God is Sovereign." In this philosophy there's liberty with the law and an internal government. And the last one was "State is Sovereign." In this type of government there's tyranny and an external government. Additionally, while listening to the lectures, diagrams were being referred to, however, I was unable to see them. The curriculum is complete for its purpose. I emailed the vendor and less then 24 hours later, he responded to my email. I appreciated his quick response to my question. Final note, " When we refuse to govern ourselves then authority over our lives is shifted upward. In order to keep freedom, we must govern ourselves."

We understand the need to have a perfect home: a living room that immediately makes guests feel welcome, a kitchen that enhances people's culinary senses, and a yard that makes people want to spend more time outdoors.
However, all interior-design tips and tricks aside, how do you know what your perfect garden is supposed to look like? If you feel like you've hit a brick wall, how about relying on your astrology sign to help you come up with the perfect yard and garden?
Although some people don't tend to put a lot of stock into what their star signs say about themselves, nobody can deny that it does tend to make for some pretty interesting reading.
So, if that's the route you choose to take, scroll down to see what fresh touches await your garden…
Born under the sign of The Ram, your typical Aries has a real enthusiasm for life, which is characterised by their desire to create new and wonderful spaces.
So, let's go with a cheerful and colourful design for the Aries' garden by planting big bold flowers in an Italian Renaissance-style yard.
The word 'spontaneous' does not exist in a Taurus' vocabulary, for they always weigh all their options before committing to something – and this includes their gardens.
So, we pick out a green space consisting of indigenous flowerbeds that radiate tranquillity. And let's go with feminine hues for those roses to create a sense of calming harmony.
Born under the sign of The Twins? Then you must be very communicative and choose close friends rather quickly due to your socialising nature.
In addition to flowers, the average Gemini will also value a trendy design in their garden, for they want their outdoor spaces to be special to their friends and families. Thus, go with colourful contrasts and a beautiful terrace/relaxation spot.
Cancers tend to be very calm and understanding, as well as quite compassionate. The more sensitive types like to withdraw from the world every now and again, just like a crab retreating into its space.
The average Cancer will prefer white roses, jasmine and other plants that radiate romance and serenity, and will also carefully pick out the right soil for the right plants.
The Lion is considered to rule the jungle, which means your average Leo loves being the centre of attention – and what could garner more praise than a perfectly manicured garden?
The right plants for a Leo's garden include brightly coloured flowers and plants, like yellow lilies or sunflowers. Just be sure to include a cosy spot or two for the friends and family who will be praising you!
Seeing as people born under the sign of The Virgin tend to be excellently organised and hardworking, it's no surprise that their gardens reflect these traits down to the last detail.
Thus, expect a very impressive design with meticulous detail that can see wild flowers and classic roses mixed perfectly together. But also know that those garden paths and stepping stones will be laid out 100% accurately.
Libras are quite romantic and refined, which means they shine not only in their day-to-day lives, but also in their interior styles. As they place great importance on order and balance, it can take some time for them to develop the perfect home garden.
The average Libra's garden will be intimate as well as practical, include comfortable seating for both formal and romantic occasions, and boast flowers in many colours.
As passionate people, Scorpios are very proud of their possessions, which means they place a lot of importance on their spaces, including gardens – so, no surprise then that they can go to great lengths to protect those gardens and yards from prying neighbour eyes.
Don't be surprised to discover a lot of plants with thorns in their gardens, as well as privacy/security walls. And oh yes, Scorpios are also fond of themes, which can translate very well into their garden designs.
Being the adventurous, free-spirited thinkers that they are, Sagittarii are constantly busy with exciting things. Thus, if you see one digging around in the dirt, you can be sure the end result will be pretty amazing.
For The Archer's garden, we recommend tulips and hydrangeas – varieties that are best suited for these imaginative souls.
And you can be sure that their gardens will be presented quite appropriately whenever you stumble into one of them.
Ambitious and determined—these are the key characteristics of a Capricorn. They tend to be a quiet bunch that need appropriate time opening up to new people or unfamiliar environments.
When it comes to their gardens, the best choices are mysterious flowers such as violets, orchids and tiger lilies. And be sure to expect a garden path or two with some decorative stones – a very typical sign of a Capricorn's design.
No prizes for guessing that The Water Bearer will include water in his/her garden. Seeing as the Aquarius is always well informed on the latest news and styles, you can be sure that their gardens will be a few trends ahead.
Thus, go with a pond, some water lilies, and perhaps even a conservatory or garden bench where they can socialise with friends.
Pisces is another star sign that loves to dream. Being empathetic, they can become your best friend, lover and confidant quite quickly.
However, they tend to live in their own fantasy worlds away from the harshness of reality. So, to style up their imaginary spaces, we recommend tulips and white lilies that provide a magical ambience.
And don't be surprised to notice a whimsical touch or two in their gardens, like fairy sculptures.
So, what about inside your house? Let's see The perfect bedroom design according to your star sign.

Vintage yet Fresh. Style yet Wild Style. Beanie Seigel yet Basquait. He's "on the line between graffiti and calligraphy." 'He' being Johnny Voltik. And Johnny Voltik is NICE.
Weilding a mic and a guitar[1], Connecticut-born, Brooklyn resident Johnny Voltik meshes minimalist, snare-heavy, boom-bap production with trippy, pyschedelic strings over a soulful soundscape. Think Are You Experienced meets Criminal Minded - popular sounding without sounding Pop. Laced with head-nod enducing beats and infectious melodies, his latest mixtape, Missile Factory Mixtape Vol. 2, is diverse, untiring, and unapologetic. Sure, homie gets his croon on here and there, but don't be mistaken - Johnny Voltik is an Emcee. And watch out when he busts...its like gettin' hit by a bus.
"I be rockin' without a care. / Black bourgeoisie? / Geez. / I'm like laisse faire. / Heads get mad like 'why's he here?' / Approaching you like your dad like 'why were you there?' / Smack you up like your mom like 'whats wrong with your hair?' / [Now you're] Cryin' to your grandmom like 'its not fair!" - "Zombie"
But the quality of Voltik's live show is what separates him from the lames. Rockin' with his four-piece band, The Blackbirds, Johnny Vo commands a bum-rushing set loaded with energy, crowd participatation and lyrical dexterity. Its attention-snatching. Eye-clutching. Its as if he understands what it means to be an MC[2]. But don't just take our word for it. Judge for yourself.
Catch Johnny Voltik & The Blackbirds on Sunday, January 11th @ The Annex on Lower East Side...
...or hit him on his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/alphalove.
"You ain't know about it. / Now you know about it..." - "The Illustrious"
"The Illustrious"
[1] Thankfully, Johnny Vo stays away from the Rock-Rap-Trap. Sure, sometimes it comes out legit (The Roots, Kid Rock). But most times its straight toilet paper - covered in shit (Limp Bizkit, Everlast).
[2] I had a pretty dope interview with Johnny Vo following last month's Missile Factory Mixtape Release showcase, but iPod#3 finally crashed taking the entire session with it. Its like they build these things to last a maximum 0f 2years. Once again, Chris Rock is correct - the moneys' on the comeback. No worries Quotable Nation...The Company Man will do his best to re-up on Tuesday following his next show. Bet.
Carry on...

Ian McKellen, A Wrinkle in Time, Disability Champion Andrew Miller, Aida Muluneh
Sir Ian McKellen looks back at his acting life in anticipation of a film out later this year, McKellen: Playing the Part. Madeleine L'Engle's classic children's book A Wrinkle in Time has been made into a film starring Oprah Winfrey. The book itself was written in 1962 after being turned down by no less than 26 publishers. Professor Diane Roberts and Dr Vic James discuss the way in which the book reflects preoccupations in the author's own life, why it became one of America's most banned books and how its enduring appeal has resulted in numerous adaptations from film to tv, opera and graphic novel. Disability Champion for the Arts and Culture Sector is a brand new role created by the UK government. We speak to the newly appointed Andrew Miller who'll hold the post for a year. What change is he hoping to effect in terms of training, employment and access in the arts? Challenging the perceptions of her country using photography, world renowned artist Aida Muluneh gives an insight into the current arts scene in Ethiopia.

Deleted scenes from Bakshi film uncovered
Over 35 years since it was released, new images and videos from Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings film have been released by his son Eddie.
The 1978 adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's best-selling novel has always proved controversial but the blend of rotoscoped live-action with cel animation meant that it was a rather unique production in the film industry. It is certainly the case that many Tolkien fans had – and still have – strong views about the production quality, the faithfulness of the adaptation and the music.
However, Bakshi followers and Tolkien fans will be keen to take a look at the deleted scenes which have been released on Ralph Bakshi's Facebook page.
About the Author: Shaun Gunner
Shaun is the Chair of The Tolkien Society. Elected in 2013, Shaun regularly speaks about adaptations of Tolkien's works whilst passionately believing the Society needs to reach out to new audiences. In his spare time can be found in the cinema, playing video games and Lego, or on Twitter.

Egypt won the mixed relay title on the final day of the Modern Pentathlon World Championships in Budapest.
The pairing of Salma Abdelmaksoud and Eslam Hamad claimed gold with a points haul of 1,463 at Kincsem Park in the Hungarian capital.
They started the day with victory in the fencing before placing ninth in swimming and third in the riding.
In the laser-run finale, they placed 16th to win the overall title by nine points.
Men's world champion Valentin Belaud had to settle for mixed relay silver alongside Elodie Clouvel.
The French produced the most consistent results across the day but ultimately fell short.
Did you catch the Mixed UIPM Laser Run World Championships today in Budapest!? If you missed it, check out the highlights! 💪👊 #WorldChampionships #LaserRun pic.twitter.com/bCIez2hH1c— UIPM - World Pentathlon (@WorldPentathlon) September 8, 2019
The French duo opened with seventh place in the fencing and followed up with sixth in swimming.
A fifth place in riding kept them in the medal hunt and they secured silver by coming second in the laser-run to amass 1,454 points.
The bronze medal went to Belarusian pair Anastasiya Prokopenko and Ilya Palazkov on 1,448 points.
The duo came fourth in fencing and 12th in the swim before a disappointing 15th place in riding saw them slip down the rankings.
A stellar effort saw Prokopenko and Palazkov win the laser-run and overhaul German pair Annika Schleu and Fabian Liebig for bronze.
The Germans finished on 1,441 points in fourth.

It shows you what gets you injured.
Hey, I'm injured. Let's look at the trends and see what there is to find.
Backtrack! It's August 2007. I'm training like never before, in the best shape of my life. BAM! I put my foot in a pothole and have to take several days off. I probably needed the rest anyways with how I'd been training. Next week, I'm feeling good. Really good. I go out in full force and do the week I was planning before I hurt my ankle. As a result, my hip gets injured.
Okay, back to the present. A few weeks ago I was, once again, training like crazy. Swimming, biking, running like never before. Then my body says "hey! quit it! *cough* *sneeze* *phlegm*" I take a few days off. Next week, I'm feeling good. Really good. I go out in full force and do the week I was planning before I
See a trend?
Bottom line is this: I need to be careful when coming off a break, even a short one. Going at it with too much gusto can sideline me quicker than anything.
Also, I need to be extremely careful coming off this particular injury. This time, it isn't just about fun and fitness. This time, people are counting on me.

Creating 'The Portrait of a Lady'
A specter haunted Henry James: it was the specter of George Eliot. He visited her first in 1869, when he was twenty-six, and wrote to his father:
I was immensely impressed, interested and pleased. To begin with, she is magnificently ugly—deliciously hideous…. Now in this vast ugliness resides a most powerful beauty which, in a few minutes, steals forth and charms the mind, so that you end up as I ended, in falling in love with her. Yes behold me literally in love with this great horse-faced blue-stocking.
Three years later, when Middlemarch appeared, James wrote from Rome to his friend Grace Norton:
A marvellous mind throbs in every page of Middlemarch. It raises the standard of what is to be expected of women—(by your leave!) We know all about the female heart; but apparently there is a female brain, too…. To produce some little exemplary works of art is my narrow and lowly dream. They are to have less "brain" than Middlemarch; but (I boldly proclaim it) they are to have more form.
James reviewed many of George Eliot's books at length, using a most serious tone, beginning with Felix Holt in 1866, continuing with The Spanish Gypsy in 1868. In March 1873 his review of Middlemarch began: "Middlemarch is at once one of the strongest and one of the weakest of English novels," reflecting the view of his brother William, who had written to him a month earlier: "What a blasted artistic failure Middlemarch is but what a well of wisdom." Henry James's review includes the sentence: "It is not compact, doubtless; but when was a panorama compact?" And it is clear from his own subsequent prefaces to his books and from his letters that he did not wish to follow George Eliot in writing "a panorama," but that he did wish to follow her example in attempting to enter into the spirit of a single character, "to render the expression of a soul," as he says of Eliot's Dorothea Brooke. "We believe in her," he wrote, "as in a woman we might providentially meet some fine day…. By what unerring mechanism this effect is produced—whether by fine strokes or broad ones, by description or narration, we can hardly say; it is certainly the great achievement of the book."
As the 1870s went on, then, James began to imagine a creation of his own, a woman whom he might render in full, but in a novel which would be formally more pure than anything George Eliot was capable of, a novel which would blend architectural perfection with unerring characterization. In 1878, he published Daisy Miller, a tale of a spirited young American woman in Italy who was punished for breaking the rules, and also a tale called "An International Episode" in which another spirited young American woman was, to the surprise of her English friends, not in search of a rich husband, or any husband at all; she sought something more interesting from life…

A Saudi-led coalition airstrike hit a police building in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killing at least 26 people and injuring nearly 15, reports The Associated Press (AP), citing security officials loyal to Iran-allied Shiite rebels known as Houthis.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports, "Two police sources said the number of deaths in the strike against the police building has risen to 25, most of whom were policemen. They could not provide a breakdown of the number of policemen and civilians killed. More than 30 were wounded, the sources said."
The security officials cited by AP said an estimated 30 more people are believed to still be trapped under the rubble of the devastated building in central Sanaa.
"Security forces swiftly sealed off the area as earth-moving equipment arrived to help with the search for bodies and survivors under the debris," reports AP. "The officials initially announced that 20 people were killed, but later said that six bodies were unearthed from under the debris."
"Police vehicles parked in the facility's courtyard were destroyed and nearby homes suffered some damage, they said, adding that "the dead and wounded were policemen and Houthi rebels."
Saudi-led coalition airstrikes have been targeting the Houthis rebels and their allies, forces loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, since March 2015. The Houthis and their allies, who took over parts of Yemen, including Sanaa, have also been fighting armed units linked to the internationally recognized Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, who was forced into exile last year.
"The Targeted building was partially used as a gathering point for security forces and on occasion used by the Houthis as an assembly point for forces headed to deployment elsewhere in Yemen," notes AP.
"The airstrike happened shortly before midnight on Sunday, according to the officials, who had no further details," it adds. "Reporters were barred from approaching the facility, they said, speaking Monday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media."
The Saudi-led coalition backs the government of President Hadi.
"Meanwhile, the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), a Nairobi-based humanitarian news agency, has announced the death of one of its contributors in Yemen," notes AP. "In a statement, it said 35-year-old Almigdad Mohammed Ali Mojalli was killed Sunday just outside Sanaa in an 'apparent' airstrike."
"Mojalli also contributed from Yemen to Western media outlets, including Voice of America and Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, said the statement," it adds. "The fighting in Yemen has, since last March, killed more than 5,800 people."
Citing eyewitnesses and medics, Reuters reports that, on Sunday, six people were killed and several other wounded when a suicide bomber detonated outside the home of the director of security for the port city of Aden, the temporary seat of Yemen's internationally recognized government.
"Later on Monday, gunmen on a motorcycle shot dead a judge as he was leaving his home in Aden, witnesses and a local security official said," it adds.
President Hadi's loyalist "seek to wrest Sanaa from the Houthis with support from a Saudi-led coalition," notes Reuters.

I recently went for a radical change in my look. For those of you who have been following me on Instagram would know that I decided to chop my hair somewhere in mid- December 2014. Would this be the end of my fashion blogging career? Was this a fashion suicide? I have had medium to long hair for about a decade now. And while I loved the long hair look, it was also high maintenance. So I decided to risk it all and chop the long tresses off. My biggest inspiration to doing this was the Indian actress Sonakshi Sinha. I think the decision to cut her hair was really bold – especially considering that she is part of the Indian Film Industry that expects its leading ladies to have long hair. Not many a times do we see a bollywood movie where the leading lady sports a bob or a pixie. Sonakshi Sinha's bob in real life came as a breath of fresh air. And then the pixie that Anushka Sharma sported for the movie PK, got me thinking that it was time to cut mine too.
Now one of the major misconception about short hair is that a girl with short hair looks like a tomboy. It isn't the cliched ladylike attribute. So I decided to break that myth and do this post – sporting my new hairstyle with a midi skirt and a white shirt. I had initially decided to do my first post with the short hair in a pair of denims and shirt but then I need to break the "girls should have long hair" myth.
White Shirt – M&S
Skirt and Shoes – Koovs
The White Shirt Project: For this White Shirt Project look, I paired my recently bought white shirt with my midi skirt and high heels. This is your perfect day and work wear look. Carry a bright coloured clutch or wear some colourful accessories to add colour to this outfit.
So tell me:
- What do you think about the new haircut?
- What do you think about the 4th look in the White Shirt Project?
Wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Following the record-setting success of The Avengers, Chris Hemsworth is back to work as the mighty God of Thunder in Thor: The Dark World.
The production shot what looks like a major battle scene for the film in England on Tuesday. Thor was joined by his seksi pal Sif, played byJaimie Alexander, who not only kicks a lot of ass, but has a knack for creating portals between dimensions…
Maybe…to this world without lights we're hearing so much about???
We'll definitely find out what happens when Marvel's future blockbuster hits theaters on November 8, 2013, but we'll probably have a pretty good idea of what will happen before that too.

17th National Congress of the Spanish Society of Neuroscience (SENC)
Auditorio de la Diputación de Alicante (ADDA) *Alicante, SPAIN Visit the Venue to read more
Dear colleagues and friends,
From the SENC Board of Directors, it is a pleasure to announce the celebration of the next SENC congress in Alicante on 27-30 September 2017. It is the ideal moment to meet the neuroscientific community of Spain and internationally, and share and discuss Our results and experiences. The SENC congress shows the potential of Spanish Neuroscience, which is currently very high. In the last 15 years the Spanish Neuroscience has made a spectacular change in scientific quality and this is demonstrated by the presentations and communications of the last congresses of the SENC.
The international visibility is important and from SENC the participation of researchers from other countries is strengthened. The Spanish Neuroscience already has a scientific maturity that has developed in the last years with new incorporations of young investigators, which has given us a prestige and international competitiveness. I believe that we currently have a generation of well-trained researchers, and for SENC, the participation of these young researchers in the congress is very important. The congress of the SENC addresses all areas of Neuroscience from molecular aspects to behavior, through cell biology, physiology, computation, neuroimaging, etc.
In September 2017, Alicante will be the center of Spanish Neuroscience and an excellent opportunity to show the neuroscientific potential in Spain with a strong visibility and international projection. From the Board of Directors we want to encourage you to participate in the preparation of the congress. We hope to receive your proposals in the call that will open to present symposia. The Board of Directors is at your disposal for any comments or suggestions.
Jordi Alberch
President of SENC

A Perfect World
|New Worlds to Conquer??
Imagine that now, in 2017 CE, we are living in a world where space travel to other galaxies is common. New worlds inhabited by many kinds of life forms, including humanoids, are being found every year. New technologies are being invented every month. People can be transported from one place to another in ten seconds. You get the idea.
Because it is embedded in their genetic code, the human beings who live on Earth are eager to explore, take over and rule any habitable planet whose indigenous population is capable of being overrun. To this end, the United States and its allies, financed by a couple of global corporate conglomerates, have built and manned a large fleet of intergalactic space ships.
The Intergalactic Ship Empire has landed on a populated planet whose inhabitants call it Kikass, from an ancient word meaning "Dirt." It is an Earth-like planet with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, an unspoiled place of great natural beauty, loaded with natural resources that the people of Earth can really use right now. The people of Kikass are peaceful by nature, but they are known to become ferocious fighters when they have something to fight about, such as being invaded by aliens from Outer Space who are after their planet.
The Captain of The Empire's name is Shirley Custer. (His mother was a Shirley MacLaine fan who wanted a girl.) Captain Custer has kidnapped the President of the largest country on Kikass. Her name means "The Wise One," so the officers and crew call her "President Wise." President Wise is a slim, elegant, middle-aged Kikassian with turquoise skin, cat-like ears and white hair. Her people think she's ugly, but they vote for her, anyway.
The Captain attempted to interrogate President Wise, but she wasn't stupid and wouldn't talk. When the Captain blustered that he was going to set her whole planet on fire if she didn't answer him, she smiled and said softly, "You're probably going to do that anyway, you butt-faced fucker." The Universal Translator was set to gloss over obscenities, so the Captain missed the butt-faced fucker part, which would have upset him and everyone in his church back home.
It was now 2:00 Eastern Standard Time on Earth, and the Captain had an appointment for a videoconference with U.S. President No. 45, who was waiting in the Oval Office with a few hand-picked toadies, including Mike Pence, Jeff Sessions, Rick Perry and a middle-aged pole dancer named Busty Chanel, who was picked off the street after being seen worshipping a photograph of the President.
The connection went live right at the point where Captain Custer threatened President Wise and she responded with the butt-faced fucker remark. Busty Chanel gave a loud whoop, startling everyone else in the room.
"Sorry," said Busty. "I've been studying Kikassian and I can read lips. Ooh, what she called him!"
Because she was middle-aged and looked it, the men in the room found Busty uninteresting, so they ignored her.
Captain Custer turned his face to the video screen and beamed a huge smile.
"Greetings, Mr. President," he said. "I cannot tell you what a pleasure and honor it is to be speaking with you today. I have traveled to many worlds, and have yet to meet a leader like you."
"Hello, Captain Shirley," said No. 45.
"Uh, Custer. My name is Custer, Mr. President. Captain Custer. I'm Captain of The Intergalactic Ship Empire."
"Okay. So what do you want?"
"Well, uh … you called this conference, Mr. President. I want whatever you want."
Mike Pence leans over and whispers something in No. 45's ear.
"Is that what this is about?" asked No. 45.
"Yes," said Mike Pence. "We sent an intergalactic spaceship to Planet Kikass last month. They are supposed to bring useless stuff to trade to the inhabitants, frighten them, overpower them. You know. The usual."
"Did we get anything out of that?"
"That's what the Captain will tell us, Mr. President," said Mike Pence. His face was covered with the biggest fake smile he could muster. He was kissing some industrial-sized ass.
"So Captain Whatever-Your-Name-Is, what have you been doing the last four weeks?" asked No. 45.
"Mr. President, the operation has been a huge success. We landed on Kikass a month ago. We tried to gain their confidence by trading the stuff we brought, but the natives just laughed at us. Apparently, nobody wants gold-tone chains, Earth rocks and canned air in exchange for land. They offered to pay us the equivalent of $2 for the whole lot. We tried frightening them with loud noises and displays of fire power, but they have a well-equipped army, navy and air force here, as well as a space program as advanced as ours. I was almost convinced that we had invaded the wrong planet, but then we lucked out. We managed to kidnap President Wise here. She's the President of the largest, most powerful country on the planet. I think we have a good bargaining chip here now. Her people love her. If we say we'll kill her or something, they'll give us anything."
"Are you saying we can't just go in and bomb the place to smithereens and take it over?" No. 45 was shouting now. "How am I supposed to make America great again if we can't even take over one planet way out there in space somewhere?"
There was an audible murmur in the conference room, topped by Mike Pence saying, "That is absolutely right, Mr. President."
"This man is a god," piped up Busty, "Just like the Roman emperors in old times."
Jeff Sessions was about to shout "Hail, Trump," but he was stopped short by President Wise, who finally spoke up.
"Okay, you bunch of idiots," she said as she stood up and faced the video screen. "Listen to me, and listen well! You can kill me and it won't make a difference. My Vice President is well informed and very capable of taking over my office, and he will. We have a Parliament that works together, and they will be happy to mobilize all our forces to drive you out of here, which should take us about 20 minutes, because our army, navy, air force and space program people all work together and we're better than you are. Nobody will want you to take over our planet because life is good here. There haven't been any wars in 200 years, unless you count a few stupid invasions like yours. We kicked them all out fast, by the way. Our economy is in great shape. We have very little crime, and almost no violent crime. Our jails became so empty that we closed them all and put all our criminals on house arrest. So why would we let you come in here? The answer is, WE WON'T. You'll be very sorry if you try. Now, if you want to send tourists here, that's different. That you can do, if they all behave themselves while they're here, spend their money, then go back home. If you still want to invade us, be warned. We're ready for you."
President Wise sat down again. There was silence in the conference room on the other end.
"Whose idiot idea was it to invade that place?" shouted No. 45.
Nobody answered. The other men looked at No. 45 warily under bowed heads.
"We were all misinformed, Mr. President," said Rick Perry. "Nobody gave us the right data about Kikass. So when you told us to invade it, we thought it was a good idea at the time."
"Well, get us out of there!" shouted No. 45. He turned to Rick Perry and said, "You are trying to say it was my idea? You're fired!"
No. 45 stomped out of the conference room.

You can now walk into some hawker centres and whip out your phone, instead of your wallet, to pay for your $3.50 bowl of ban mian.
This payment mode is also convenient for hawkers such as Mr Ho Chun Meng, 45, the stall-owner of Hui Wei Ban Mian at the Toa Payoh West Market and Food Centre.
He is one of 200 adapters of a Quick Response (QR) code function being introduced to hawker and food centres by DBS to encourage more cashless payments here.
The function helps overcome challenges with time and hygiene that Mr Ho faces alone on the job. Even at busy times, he still has to count out change and wash his hands whenever he handles money.
"It's not just the time taken. It's also really unhygienic. It's very inconvenient to handle money, then handle food again. We need to keep washing our hands," he said.
About two weeks ago, the hawker was approached by an ambassador from DBS who helped him install the new QR-code payment function at his stall.
Customers can scan the code using their DBS PayLah! app. They then type in the amount owed and send the money to Mr Ho, after which he will receive a payment notification. Since he started using the function, up to 20 customers have paid with phones.
"If you know how to use it, it's really fast," he said. A transaction can be almost instantaneous.
A report last year by consulting firm KPMG Advisory, commissioned by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, showed that around 60 per cent of consumer payments in Singapore are done in cash and, at places such as hawker centres and wet markets, the figure rises to about 90 per cent.
DBS has also launched a new Smart Nation Ambassador Program (Snap) to recruit up to 1,000 ambassadors to encourage small, cash-based merchants to adopt DBS PayLah! QR codes as a payment method. Snap ambassadors go out to small neighbourhood shops, hawker centres and wet markets islandwide to introduce the new function to business owners who might not realise the benefits of adopting a cashless system.
So far, the ambassadors have recruited about 200 stalls.
Mr Anton Tan, 46, the owner of Uggli Muffins, which is in the same food centre, located at Block 127, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, said it would be only a matter of time before cashless payments become the norm.
"We need to adopt a cashless system sooner or later because that's the future," he said.
He set up his QR-code payment function yesterday, and he is positive it will help him save time.
"It's very difficult to look for change sometimes. Many coins look the same," he said.
The bank launched the programme yesterday at a three-day DBS PayLah! X *Scape Palooza event at *Scape Playspace, which features 100 youth vendors, all of whom can accept payment through the QR-code payment function.

I've been mixing and matching Noritake's dinnerware for years - my first collaboration with them dates back to my Upper East Side days (#memories) - but my adoration of their new collection is so complete that I wanted to showcase this one solo. It's just so simple and sculptural and fresh-feeling - and I'm obsessed with the fact that all the pieces are modular, with each plate being matched in size to serve as a lid for one of the bowls (coooool).
The best thing about the ColorTex dinnerware, though, is how versatile it is: You can dress it up, dress it down, and make it feel seasonally appropriate whether it's snowing or sunny. What I decided to do here: Create a simple beach-inspired tablescape using whatever beachy bits and bobs I had laying around - some driftwood, shells, and little vintage candleholders that I use as miniature vases - and layer the dishes in whatever ways made sense for each person sitting at the table.
