United Nations, June 6 The newly appointed UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Stephen O'Brien, will be travelling to Iraq for three days starting Sunday, an official said.
"O'Brien will review progress with the humanitarian response and is expected to meet displaced families and senior Iraqi and Kurdish officials," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Friday.
"The humanitarian situation in Iraq is dire as we have been flagging here almost daily," Xinhua news agency reported citing Dujarric as saying.
According to the official UN data, nearly three million Iraqis have been displaced since January and over eight million people need assistance across the country.
Aid agencies urgently need access to vulnerable people in need, as well as funding for critical relief work.
"The visit will also focus on how the UN and humanitarian partners can best support the government of Iraq in providing assistance and protection for all the people in need," the spokesman added.

While scouring for some coverage of Thursday's federal court decision on the offshore drilling moratorium, I stumbled upon a fun little nugget at the bottom of an inverted pyramid.
A New York Times piece points to several ties between the oil industry and the court that decided, in a 2-1 vote, to uphold a lower court's decision blocking the Obama administration's moratorium on offshore drilling. The article cites a report from the liberal advocacy group the Alliance for Justice or AFJ.
The AFJ report shows that the two justices appointed by President Ronald Reagan, Jerry E. Smith and W. Eugene Davis, had represented the oil and gas industries in private practice. The report shows that Smith's clients included Exxon, Conoco and Sunoco. As for Davis, his clients were generally offshore drilling companies.
The judge siding with the Obama administration had even more direct ties to the offshore drilling industry. Appointed by President Bill Clinton, James L. Dennis was reported to have had investments in 18 different energy companies over the years. In 2006, Dennis sold his shares of Transocean. Yes, the same Transocean that was operating BP's well in the Gulf that has been gushing oil for 80-plus days now. Dennis sided with the Obama administration, but one has to wonder if he should have recused himself. In fact, there's probably a good case for all three judges to recuse themselves from this decision.
This makes the whole situation far too oily for my liking. For some reason, I have almost come to expect the oil industry to seep its influence through Congress. And, given how the judicial appointment system works, why should I be surprised that oily fingerprints would make their way to a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision?
In the end, Thursday's decision will either be appealed or made irrelevant by a side-deal between the Obama administration and the offshore drilling industry. So, the long-term legal impact of this court's decision is somewhat unclear. What seems to have become even murkier, other than the Gulf of Mexico, is the judicial system's objectivity.

First time, take your time. I laid out the pieces (labeled of course) left to right on my work bench.The hardest part is getting the stinkin' cover off the engine and out from under the frame, but it WILL come out. I think it was sort of "lift, move it to the rear an inch or so, rotate it to the left, stick out your tongue, wiggle it a little while rotating it a little more to the LEFT and suddenly like one of those "nail puzzles," and you're holding it free in your hands. Stop and think at that point because the exact opposite set of motions puts it back. Then join the chorus of "Why didn't they give me 1/4" more space to the frame?"This literally made me But it is a perfect description how it worked for me

Adecco Asian Windsurfing Tour, Presented by Fosters
The 10th Mana Mana Amslam, Presented by Neil Pryde
Date: 5 February 2004
Two races were run today to open the 10th Mana Mana Amslam, the fourth event
on the Adecco Asian Windsurfing Tour, presented by Foster's. Defending Champion
Robbie Radis from Australia took the first race but in the second he was beaten
by Korea's Yoon Sung Soo. At the end of the day Radis leads ahead of a consistent
Bo Ruamsap of Thailand with Yoon in third.
Every windsurfer knows the wind gods can be both fickle and cruel. For hours
today the fleet of international windsurfers sat on a beach, albeit a beautiful
one, and watched as the wind speed hovered just below an acceptable minimum.
Every now and then gusts would arrive and a murmur would travel around the beach.
But the murmurs would subside with the beach flags.
Finally in mid afternoon the teasing was over and the fleet was able to take
to the water. Wind speeds still hung at around 12 knots, a very gentle breeze,
but just enough to start this year's Mana Mana Amslam.
This is the 10th year of the event and it has grown in both size and reputation.
46 competitors from 10 countries are competing for the title champion – and
for the points they will receive towards the Adecco Asian Windsurfing Tour Title.
Going in to this event defending Adecco AWT Champion Robbie Radis from Australia
is looking strong ahead of Korea's Yoon Sung Soo and the UK's Paul Philips.
Other sailors to watch at this years Mana Mana Amslam will be Singaporean champion
Andrew Foo and Thailand's Bo Ruamsap (an Asian games Gold Medallist). In the
ladies division Singapore's Rachel Ng goes head to head again with Japan's Ayako
Windsurf racing is quite simple with the fleet of sailors crossing the start
line as a clock reaches "zero" and racers travelling around a series
of buoys or marks before crossing a finish line. The first across the line wins .
And the first race was a simple "Speed Dash" out to sea, around one
mark and back to the finish line near shore. Across the start line it was clear
that Radis, racing on his largest Neil Pryde RS4 race sail, had the board speed
to win. But both Ruamsap and Yoon maintained contact but they could not really
threaten a dominant Radis. A strong first race and perhaps a little daunting
for the rest of the fleet.
But the second race of the day was different. Yoon, who is also racing on the
new RS4 sails, was also powered up and this time rounded the first mark ahead
of both Ruamsap and Radis. The Australian was clearly not invincible and although
Radis recovered into second position the victory was Yoon's.
Said Yoon "I am very happy to beat Robbie in the race. That first race
showed that he has good speed and that he is in form. But I managed to beat
him to the first mark and that was the key. We have two more days of racing
and I'm still in third place behind both Robbie and Bo so I cannot get carried
Tonight the fleet travels north on Bintan to the Club Med resort for another
night of partying on the Adecco AWT and racing will continue tomorrow. Stronger
winds are forecast with those fickle wind gods saving the best until Saturday.
The Mana Mana Amslam is a prestigious event in it's own right and it fits into
the larger Adecco Asian Windsurfing Tour that groups together the premier windsurfing
events in the region.
1) The Penghu Pro-am, Penghu, Taiwan (November 2003)
2) The Boracay International Funboard Cup, Philippines (January 2004)
3) Monsoon Madness, Kuantan, Malaysia (January 2004)
4) The Mana Mana Amslam, Bintan, Indonesia (February 2004)
5) The Marianas Open, Saipan (February 2004)
Through the season competitors at each event earn points towards the overall
Adecco AWT Championship and at the end of the season in Saipan a new Asian Champion
is crowned.
The Mana Mana Amslam (and all the events on the Adecco AWT) is being filmed
for international television and in all, the event will reach an audience of
over 150 million households around the globe. The World will be watching as
the 10th Mana Mana Amslam sets sail.
The Adecco Asian Windsurfing Tour is sponsored by Adecco, Fosters, Lava Eyewear
and Action Asia Magazine.
Mana Mana Amlsam is sponsored by Mana Mana Beach Club and Neil Pryde.

The New Year is bringing new changes to the commercial real estate scene.
Cushman & Wakefield, the international brokerage firm, has named Mark Pateman to lead its Palm Beach County office.
Pateman, with the firm since 2006, has been a broker specializing in office leasing and investment sales.
His promotion to the newly-created position of Palm Beach County managing principal is part of a move by the company to decentralize leadership. Larry Ritchey, managing principal and Florida Market Leader, previously had run all counties.
But Pateman said this move will put the leadership �closer to the client.� Pateman will supervise about 25 brokers in the firm�s West Palm Beach and Boca Raton offices.
At Cushman, Pateman has worked on�deals involving West Palm Beach�s most prominent office buildings, including Phillips Point, Esperante and Flagler Center. He also was involved in transactions involving One Boca Place in Boca Raton and 3801 PGA Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens.

Pange Lingua: Music for Corpus Christi
The Clare College performance of Josquin's Missa Pange lingua which opens this recital has the kind of subtlety that can only be achieved by exceptionally responsive singers, immersed in the idiom of the music they are performing. The Kyrie sets the tone: phrases supply moulded for expressive purposes, vibrato occasionally lending an incipient sensuality, and small dynamic alterations sharpening attention to the text, particularly on the Kyrie's return.
Good things continue to happen in the Gloria. Extended passages of interleaving part-writing are delivered with expert breath control, and unstrained, precise tuning. In the antiphonal exchanges at 'Laudamus te', conductor Graham Ross, by deftly tweaking balances, conjures a happy carillon of warm-voiced harmonies.
Of the nine other works on this CD, Victoria's Lauda Sion salvatorem and La Rue's O salutaris hostia are particular highlights – the one an object lesson in how to fine-hone articulation without sounding mannered, the other a memorably tender interpretation. These pieces, like the Josquin Mass, were recorded in the beautiful acoustic of the Lady Chapel at Ely Cathedral. Finzi's Lo, the full, final Sacrifice, recorded at Norwich Cathedral, seems blowsier by comparison, though the performance is again stirringly committed. Overall this disc bears eloquent testimony to the high standards of singing in the Clare College choir.

Asked by Andrzej Zwawa, I am supporting without hesitation the application of Zielone Brygady Publishing House for a grant from the Canadian Embassy in Warsaw.
A few months ago, I was pleasantly surprised to discover this publisher on the Internet along with their bi-weekly in Polish, the quarterly Green Brigades, Biblioteka Zielone Brygady, and a multi-lingual publishing programme. My surprise was even greater on discovery that the agenda is expanding on a shoestring budget. Immediately I became one of numerous volunteer contributors to their publications. The programme is ambitious for an organization with little resources. I am impressed by the meritorial and linguistic profesionalism the publisher is maintaining. Alternative points of view are presented in debates of environmental, social and broad sustainability values and issues. The publications are open to the West and East, truly providing a most (bridge) for those seeking information and contacts between the different cultures in their particular areas of interest.
As a Polish Canadian and a professional engineer I consider Zielone Brygady to be an extremely useful tool for disseminating information--about Canadian technologies, conservation, sustainability programmes and lessons learned--to the Central and Eastern European community of green activists and decision makers. In my opinion the readers are the avangarde of the change which is vigorously taking place in Poland towards sustainable society and development. I have corresponded with some of those people via e-mail and find that most of them are unavailable at the moment, because they are running in the current elections to local government bodies. Because the Polish change is highly dynamic and driven by genuine desire to excell, I also believe that soon Canadians will be learning from that part of the world. I trust that the growth in Poland of Canadian technologies such as solar aquatic wastewater treatment will dwarf anything that happens in Canada on the subject in the same period.
The latent hunger for information and improvements to the material and social infrastructure is witnessed by the readiness of Zielone Brygady to publish articles popularizing and discussing,
- Canadian conservation efforts to preserve Pacific and Atlantic fish and wildlife,
- sustainable development education initiatives, such as EcoCafe in Vancouver BC,
- latest Canadian findings in global atmospheric change,
- the Ballard fuel cell, solar aquatic, open-pit mine wastes and rehabilitation, tidal and slow-revolution turbine, energy-efficient housing, and many other technologies either being developed or successfully applied in Canada,
- saving Canada's endangered spaces,
- sustainable forestry management, and
- sustainable transportation planning experience from major Canadian urban centres.
The first three topics and the solar aquatic technology have already been published on the pages of Zielone Brygady, or are in press.
I am setting off for a month of meetings and forums in Poland, which is greatly facilitated by the publications and the Internet network managed by Zielone Brygady. For scarcity of government support of some Canadian industry initiatives in that rapidly expanding region of Europe, local publishers offer the most cost-effective substitute.
The amount of grant sought is a token contribtion to the role the Publishing House intends to play on the Polish change scene. It is also symbolic compared to the benefits of furthering Canadian know-how and experience in environmentally-friendly technologies, nature conservation, sustainable development and positive social change.

Hello everyone!
This collection of models is all aquatic themed. There are minis, monsters, and scatter terrain. There are 12 models in the cores set, and 18 stretch goals planned. That is up to 30 models with a buy-all price of $6. Times are tough right now, so I wanted to make something affordable that is still just as awesome.
All models come with a no base, simple base, and decorative base option. A $10 pledge gets you all 3 versions in addition to the successfully tested resin pre-supported version.
Every $500 is a new mini, monster, or piece of scatter terrain. All mounts will have a saddle and no saddle version. More stretch goals will be added to match the funding level. So feel free to leave comments about what else you'd like to see!

OK, Heroes Super Chibi Villains is now live! You can head over to Kickstarter via this link to check it out.
This Kickstarter is very special to us. It's the first time we will be focusing on the evil side of the Super Chibi universe and it's the first time that 95% of the character was designed and drawn by Brian "Natakue" Saunders himself.
We are also doing something different this time around to test interest. We have included a digital pledge this time around for the .stl files of the minis. This is for those of you out there who want to print your own minis. We know 3d printing Is an ever-growing market and well, we want to see if Super Chibi can be one of the items people want to print on their personal printers. You can also print these files from any company or retailer who provides printings services. Just to name a few there is Impact Miniatures, Shapeways and much more. Right now this is a Kickstarter only deal but if there is interest we will look into making this a standard pledge in all the upcoming Kickstarters and possibility adding this option to our online store.
So with that said we want to say thank you for supporting us and we will see you at the end of the Kickstarter.

My congratulations to NBC Political Director and Meet The Press host Chuck Todd, for the following comments, made yesterday before President Obama spoke at the UN, about Mr. Obama\'s overall foreign policy record, and his performance, specifically, regarding Syria:
Well, it\'s, this hasbeen, if you look at his foreign policy report card — it\'s a tough report cardas it is — but nothing has been, i think, a bigger failure than his Syriapolicy. And they now acknowledge it. By the way, to promote part two of myinterview with Hillary Clinton, she acknowledges it. This has just not worked– figuring out, "Does Assad go, does he not go, can you defeat ISIS withAssad there or not?"
Like, that is thefundamental strategic question I think allies are having. Obviously now, it isamazing that Putin is essentially forcing the United States to potentially andPresident Obama to change his policy saying maybe Assad can stay.
Translation: Putin has – to quote myself from just yesterday – outfoxed, outclassed and outpoliticked Barack Obama eight ways from Sunday. He has again made Mr. Obama look exactly like the unqualified, incompetent, inept President he is. A president that capable, experienced, accomplished world leaders, and even terrorist clowns like the ones in Iran, can run rings around.
How I wish Mr. Todd were wrong. But he isn\'t. And we have over a year of this administration left to bungle things and damage our world standing even more.
Lucky us.

Justice Ted Matlow's 27-year judicial career lay in tatters yesterday after a Canadian Judicial Council panel concluded his "inexcusable" misconduct in connection with a Toronto neighbourhood crusade rendered him unfit for office.
The five-member panel said the "depth and breadth" of Matlow's activities in leading a citizens' battle against city hall fell well below the lowest acceptable standards for judges and involved a clear breach of ethical duties.
"Justice Matlow's conduct is so manifestly and totally contrary to the impartiality, integrity and independence of the judiciary that the confidence of individuals appearing before the judge, or of the public in its justice system, have been undermined," the panel said in a 65-page report.
The report now goes to the judicial council, which will decide whether to recommend to the federal justice minister that Matlow be dismissed.
The panel used words like "egregious" and "totally inappropriate" to describe Matlow's role in leading a community brigade, lobbying politicians and trying to stir up media coverage about his group's opposition to a proposed condominium and retail complex near his home on Thelma Ave. in Forest Hill.
At an inquiry earlier this year, Matlow said his motives were "pure."
After suggesting city officials had been devious, stupid and dishonest in connection with the condo project, Matlow made no effort to remove himself from other cases involving the city – including the high-profile case involving a St. Clair Ave. streetcar right-of-way, which triggered a complaint to the Judicial Council by a City of Toronto solicitor in 2005.
Led by Newfoundland Chief Justice Clyde Wells, the panel said in its report yesterday it had difficulty believing some of Matlow's testimony at the inquiry and took the extremely rare step of concluding there's justification for removing the 68-year-old Ontario Superior Court judge from office.
The next step is for the Canadian Judicial Council – chief justices and senior judges from across Canada, likely about 28 in total – to vote on that recommendation. That's only happened once in the council's 37-year history. A federally-appointed judge can only be removed by Parliament.
Yesterday's findings were a disastrous turn of events for a man who, said his son, has wanted to be a judge since age four. Matlow has 30 days to respond to the findings in writing and can ask to make submissions in person to the council.
Josh Matlow, a Toronto school trustee, said his father will continue to fight. "He knows he did nothing that would merit the (conclusion) today and his life and his good name have been injured."
"We're going to push ahead," added Paul Cavalluzzo, Matlow's lawyer, saying the case raises "very important issues" of judicial free speech and contending the panel took a "very antiquated, almost monastic view" of how judges should conduct themselves.
But two other legal experts disagree. The panel's report shows the council "is finally taking its regulatory role seriously and sending out a message that judicial independence does not mean that judges can do whatever they wish," said Allan Hutchinson, a professor at Osgoode Hall Law School.
The panel said yesterday that Matlow offered only limited expressions of regret under questioning by inquiry counsel Doug Hunt, as well as Cavalluzzo, indicating little or no prospect he will conduct himself differently in the future.
"He sort of doesn't get it, and that goes toward his qualifications for judicial office – I think that's just so unfortunate," said Peter Russell, a retired professor of political science at the University of Toronto.
Matlow's problems with the council began after he sat on a three-judge Divisional Court panel in October 2005 that ruled in favour of a "Save Our St. Clair" citizens' group opposed to the right-of-way.
The city later argued Matlow should have recused himself from the case because his involvement in "Friends of the Village," the group opposing the condo project, led to an appearance of bias. Matlow's fellow judges on the panel agreed.

Four days before the case was argued, Matlow sent an email to Globe and Mail municipal affairs columnist John Barber, trying to interest him in writing about the proposal. On Oct. 5, 2005, the day before the St. Clair case was heard, Matlow delivered documents on the project to the Globe's offices.
The panel was skeptical about Matlow's claim that he did not know, when he contacted Barber, that he would be hearing the St. Clair case and that he was inspired to "dash off" the email after reading Justice Denise Bellamy's report about the conduct of city officials in the computer leasing debacle.
There is "clear and cogent evidence" Matlow either knew he was or was likely to be hearing the St. Clair case or "knowingly failed" to avoid sitting on the case after contacting Barber, the panel said yesterday. "Whichever is the case, his actions ... constitute judicial misconduct of a very serious nature."
Also singled out by the panel was an email Matlow sent to then-Attorney General Michael Bryant in 2003, saying there was evidence city officials disregarded a Toronto council resolution on the Thelma project and seeking his help.
The panel also pointed to deprecating remarks about a city solicitor and "intemperate language" used by Matlow in a letter to the city's auditor general. In correspondence with Toronto councillors, he used plain paper with the words "Justice Ted Matlow" at the top.
When it came to hearing the St. Clair case, he had a duty to inform lawyers and his two fellow judges of the depth of his involvement in the Thelma affair, the panel said.
Matlow told the inquiry he regrets not having done so and regrets having taken the papers to the Globe.
The panel said that while each instance of Matlow's conduct may not warrant removal from office, "taken together there can be no doubt that such is the impact."
Norman Sabourin, a Judicial Council spokesperson, said the group will likely meet before November to consider this matter.

The 430th Session of the Maryland General Assembly begins on Wednesday and the Democratic leadership is collectively salivating at the prospect of increasing your taxes claiming they have no other choice.
A 64% increase in the gas tax is one of the frequently-mentioned proposals and illustrates how completely disconnected the Governor and Democratic leaders are from the people they were elected to serve. With, perhaps, the exception of Comptroller Franchot who has said the tax should not be increased, yet. The Democratic leadership will tell you that this gas tax increase is desperately needed to fund transportation projects, ignoring the fact that the State Highway Administration was recently found to have hidden millions of dollars from the Board of Public Works while asking for millions in additional funding. The Maryland Department of Transportation needs to get its fiscal house in order before asking for more of your hard-earned money.
Gas prices directly impact our day to day lives, even when we don't drive. Retailers and other businesses pay those higher gas prices and then pass those increased costs on to the consumer. Then we pay more for groceries, clothing, and other goods. People are already struggling to make ends meet, but for the Governor and the Democratic leadership the needs of Annapolis are more important. If that were not the case then why would they push for a 64% increase in the gas tax in a year that is forecast to be the worst with gas prices reaching over $4 and possibly $5 per gallon. Maryland's average gas prices already increased by more than 10 cents in the first week of 2012 and yet they continue to press their case!
But it is not just the gas tax that the Democrats want to increase. There is much, much more. Here are just a few of the tax increases recommended over the last few months:
• 300% increase in the Bay Restoration Fee
• 100% increase in Emission Inspection Fees
• 50% increase in Vehicle Registration Fees
• 8% increase in the Vehicle Titling Tax
Keep in mind these proposals are on top of the toll increases that went into effect in 2011 – a 60% increase at the Bay Bridge alone which jumps another 50% in July of 2013 for a total increase of 140% by the end of the Governor's term in office.
Not only that, but these proposals would also be stacked on top of the tax and fee increases passed during the 2011 Session; the doubling the Vehicle Titling Tax, the Vanity Plate Fee, Land Recording fees, Birth Certificate fees; the 38% increase in the Nursing Home Tax; the 50% sales tax increase on alcohol.
Every dollar that is paid in higher taxes, tolls, and fees is a dollar taken out of our economy – citizens have less money to spend and businesses have less money to hire. This seems to fly in the face of the Governor's plans for job creation.
Get ready Maryland. The Democrats are heading back to Annapolis and their eyes are on your wallet. Can you afford to pay more?

Good morning, and welcome to my blog, today I have four cards to share with you, I have enjoyed making these, and I have to say the last one is my favourite.
For the first card, I did the stamping at our annual Heartfelt Stampin' Event Here in Auckland last weekend, my favourite part was just sitting down at the tables and playing with the new Framelits. These create a quick and easy image with out all the fussy cutting. Sorry back to the card, I have used our new in-colours Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit. I have also Used the Shimmer Paint to give it some sparkle. As you can see I made my own flower for the top corner, for this I used the Summer Starfruit Satin Ribbon and threaded it through a brad till it looked like that. A nice quick way to create a decoration in the colours you need. The stamp set is called Snowflake Soiree.
For my second card I have Used the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder called Holiday Frame, and teamed it up with Scentsational Season, using their Framelits Die to cut out the tree, this is also edged with Dazzling Diamonds to give the sparkle of Christmas. I have sponged the back ground with Crumb Cake for a vintage look, this also brings out the design. I have finished it off with a simple bow from the Scallop Dots Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler. This was also very easy to go together once you have a design in mind. Colours used were Old Olive, Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.
For my third card I have Used the new Ornament Keepsakes along with their new Framelits to cut them out. I have embossed the image with Pewter Embossing Powder from the main Catty on page 159. I have folded them in half and glued three together to create a 3D image. For the main colour I have used Cherry Cobbler, this is my favourite Christmas colour and use it on almost every Christmas card I make. I have then placed a strip of DSP on the left hand side called Be of Good Cheer from the main Catty page 164, I have then cut out a rectangle of the silver Glimmer card and placed on top of that a piece of whisper white that has been embossed with the Stripes Embossing Folder on an angle. I have then cut out a triangle of another piece of DSP from the same pack and placed over the Whisper White. This has been finished with a paper chain and a little bow.
Now for my favourite card, I wanted to use the new Shaker Frames from the main catty page 177, but in a different way, so for this card I have stamped the image from Scentsational Season being the very cute gingerbread man in Raspberry Ripple. I have then embossed this in the clear Embossing Powder and cut them out using their matching Framelits. As you can see I have cut out a little heart in their tummies. I have then placed a piece of Acetate behind the image and used the shaker frames. For the decorations in the tummy I have punched out very little circles in the new Glimmer Paper in Champagne and then used the owl punch and glued two together, so that if they flipped over you always got colour and not the white backing on the card. (this did take a very long time but well worth it) If I have the Glass Stampin' Glitter in Champagne then I would have used that. I have also used the Striped Embossing folder on an angle for the background on this one. For this I have simply placed the card stock on an angle in the folder and run it through the big shot. For the patterned paper on the left I have used the stamp set called Snowflake Soiree again. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments in the main catty on page 133. and cut out using the punches Word Window and Modern Label.
I hope you have enjoyed my page and have had time to read it all, sorry it's so long but I didn't want to leave anything out.

Every hero of the world of cinema, carries a distinctly identifiable tag.It is language that confines them to a region.But some of them surpass the barriers of language too.Tamil cinema in particular has never been caught in the midst of language prejudices.When it comes to performance, it is the individual and his attitude and capacity for performance that matter.There are so many high profile talents in the field of cinema in general and Tamil Cinema in particular.
Many heroes have made an indelible mark here, by their looks and luminous layers of performance. But some have stuck to the soil, like every one's heart beat and pulse rate without which life is impossible.It is not a question of heroes doing more than one hundred films in their life time and staying stable.Many heroes like Gemini Ganesan,Muthuraman, Jai Shankar,Ravichandran, Sivakumar,Prabu, Karthik, Sathyaraj,Vijayakanth and Sarathkumar have all done this magic.But there is something more than this, that lifts the hero's career to the peak and keeps him there,meant for admiration and adoration.Very few heroes can adorn the temples of the medium of cinema and attain a kind of immortality.
Can any one contest the fact that in the midst of a galaxy of heroes, two illustrious men ruled Tamil Cinema from the Nineteen Fifties to late Nineteen Seventies,as invincible idols, during their lifetime and after?.Can any one among the Tamil audience of the last century, recall any name other than MGR, the three lettered mass model and Sivaji, the Six lettered film fiesta?Both these stalwarts, grew up to historic heights,from a very humble base.Both arduously moved inch by inch, from the streets to the big screen.It was a glorious growth from a Lilliput land to the Great Heavens,or a gorgeous journey from poverty to the fountain plaza.All this happened through the years, by their consolidating opportunities into achievements.But providence too served their interests, as a mascot on hand.It looked as though Sivaji Ganesan lived only to perform and MGR performed, only to move closer to the masses.
Both made history, Sivaji as the encyclopedic version of acting and MGR as the endearing image of the overall big screen.MGR and Sivaji were poles apart, in their understanding and assimilation of the fundamentals and yardsticks of cinema.Nor did they share screen space more than once in their entire career.For MGR, cinema was a medium to take him closer to the people, in the best order of things, that he preferred and popularized.When I say this, I do not mean to underrate his acting credentials. He had mastered the best formula of acting and his style of acting would ever be with in that MGR formula, with its rich aesthetic components, that necessitated a felicitous mood, for celebrating the process of watching cinema,with its significant entertainment ingredients.Whereas for Sivaji Ganesan,each film warranted a self declared period of conception, gestation and delivery.Yes. each of his film was born as a fresh beautiful baby, with its independent looks and character.
MGR's objective of screen performance was to establish and promote an ideal model of manhood through characters, that symbolized the overall virtues of a good human being.In this respect,he could be called a typecast hero.But he went on refining this typecast hero, film after film, so as to make the theaters become the homes of men and women, with their accepting and including him, as some one closer to their dreams and life realities.That is why years after his departure, even this day, his spirit rules the emotions of people, through his energizing, hope building,songs of eternal value.He was an astute analyzer of the pulse of the people,
Sivaji Ganesan was an ardent observer of the inner strings of humanity at large.In other words, if MGR was getting into the heart and soul of the masses, Sivaji Ganesan was digging out individuals from the masses, as characters that he portrayed.For MGR the hero was always someone specially good.But for Sivaji the hero was just a character, either good or bad.The immortality of these lifetime heroes is the result of the goodness in character that MGR stood for and the characters good and bad that speak of the performance- hungry hero called Sivaji Ganesan, who was more concerned about the veracity of the roles he played, than about himself and the audience.
People remember characters like Gunasekran,[Parasakthi],Parandhaaman,[Thirumbi Paar], Manohara,[Manohara],Raju[Paasamalar],Va Vu Chi.{Kappalottiya Thamizhan}Kattabomman,[Veerapaandiya Kattabomman] Karnan[film of the same title],Rengan,[Padikkaadha Medhai]Gopal [Pudhiya Paravai]Prestige Padmanaban [Vietnam Veedu],Saapaattu Raman,{Raman Ethanai Ramanadi}Barrister Rajinikanth [Gowravam], Chinnadorai{Vasantha Maaligai] Rengadhurai [Rajapart Rengadurai],Justice Gopinath[film of the same title] and many others, which form a tip of the iceberg of characters, that celebrate the grandeur and memory of the actor in Sivaji Ganesan. He did not hesitate to do three different characters in Dheiva Magan and nine variety of characters in Navarathiri each one providing a different depth and thrust in character delineation, Sivaji Ganesan was always far from projecting the image of a single hero, as MGR did.
Each film of Sivaji Ganesan seemed to have carved the body and spirit of the protagonist, with immense scope for emotional display and elegance in performance, purely with a view to fulfill the thespian urge in the hero.Every one would have thought that Tenali Raman, Ambikapathi, Kattabomman Va.Vu.Chi,and Maha Kavi Kalidas,would have looked and conducted themselves like him.Similarly all the mythological figures like Karnan,Lord Shiva,MahaVishnu and Naaradhar would have been visualized through the body language of this brilliant hero.The image of spiritual saints like Appar and Sundarar have been imprinted in the minds of the audience, through the looks and demeanor of Sivaji Ganesan. He could be shortly called the epitome of the cherished values of history,society and spiritualism.A Chevalier award is not the end of acknowledging his theatrical and cinematic grandeur.
Ultimatey what happened was, MGR the hero of the masses,became a political heart throb,on account of his time tested screen image of being a positively inspiring human being,with all right attributes meant for leadership.He could form a political outfit of his own and lead the state of Tamil Nadu as its chief minister from 1977 to 1987 with a brief break for a couple of years.Whereas Sivaji Ganesan, a born actor who also founded a political party, suffered a pathetic defeat at the hustings. This was because the people were prepared to recognize him only as a screen hero of immense value, who would be remembered as the rarest phenomenon in the sphere of cinema,a star in the firmament to be watched with awe, for its myriad colors, symbolic of the infinite variety of mankind.The posthumous reality of both these life time heroes is that,both have reached a state of eternal fame not to be washed away by the passage of time.They are more than heroes.They continue to outlive their times,one as a former dynamic chief minister and the other as the grand master of the Tamil big screen .
It was during the lifetime of these monumental heroes,a pair of the next generation stars began to glow and glitter with the brilliance of a similar stature.One of the two stars had already established himself as a child artist acting with MGR and Sivaji Ganesan in films like Aananda Jodhi and Paarthaal Pasi Theerum. The other star shot up to fame like a meteor to remain as the undisputed superstar of Tamil Cinema.Both these heroes remain in their own individual capacities, as proud treasures of the tinsel world,to retain their legacy longer,in the line of their predecessors.
Kamalahasan and Rajinikanth were the two heroes, who were groomed by the profound film making intricacies of a trendsetting and epoch making director, called K. Balachander.The acronym KB, was known to all Tamil film viewers as the pinnacle of film direction with his singular stamp of authority in film making.Soon the two heroes of KB, began to grow to newer heights, with their own inimitable quest for originality, dynamism and depth in acting.Unlike MGR and Sivaji Ganesan, who acted together in just one movie,Kamalahasan and Rajinikanth have acted in more than a dozen films, either as two heroes on the same screen or Kamal as hero and Rajini as villain, sharing equal screen space and importance in characterization .Later they parted ways to set up their own yardsticks and footprints in acting.
In Kamal,one can see a combination of Sivaji Ganesan and Gemini Ganesan, with regard to the extensive stimulus for climbing up the rungs of the acting ladder and the gusto for exhibiting infinite shades of romantic charm,respectively.But his inventive uniqueness, in making each of his films into an over all creative experience and his aesthetic breathing in and breathing out, the air of cinematic freshness, are his hard earned assets, never to be equated with the achievements of any other hero.He can mastermind the whole process of making a film with a total surrender of his body and mind, to that process.In this respect, his acting capital is an invaluable investment notwithstanding the consequences of risks involved in his filming ventures.He will go a long way into the interiors of world cinema, to stay there permanently, for case studies and their research implications, so as to become a point of reference for any meticulous actor in future.It is no wonder that such an incarnation of histrionics, has been honored to become the second Chevalier of Tamil Cinema.
The Superstar is made of sterner stuff.Unlike Kamal he was not a child artist but he came like a shadow in Aboorva Raagangal and then carved his image on the minds of the audience with a bang, in his next film Moonru Mudichu, reflecting an attitude of storming, through his rugged style and charm.The leonine wield of his acting, has not yet reached its full capacity.He is not only a tornado and a ferocious stream in Tamil Cinema but is also a ripple free river and a gentle breeze. He is both a flower and its thorn.That is why he can excel both as a hero and villain.From Moonru Mudichu to Kabali he has fallen repeatedly into the hands of both creative and commercial giants in film making and come out as the incarnation of excitement and exuberance, in celebrating the joy of a field experience.
In my longstanding assessment of the films of Rajinikanth,I would compare his mass appeal to that of MGR, without the latter's political agenda and his energetic role play, to the passionate histrionics of Sivaji Ganesan. The vibration in his voice,the radiation in his smile and the energy levels of his body language, take him closer to one and all.Not all heroes can become the superstar. If Rajini has moved that high in his career, it is all because of his being Rajini and it is the will of God that the star material in Rajini should glitter more than that of other heroes.Envy can not be an answer to anybody's position in their career.If MGR,Sivaji Ganesan,Kamal and Rajini are more than mere heroes, it is purely due to the fact, that they have traveled far ahead of others in showing the world what is special in them, as the iconic interpretation of the soul and spirit of being a hero and it is this distinct characteristic that has made them the super heroes of different times.

Kids in Motion is the talk of the town because we not only teach with passion, but ultimately we run programs that kids LOVE!
Teaching gymnastic-based skills to children requires a complex set of knowledge and breakdown drills. The safest and easiest way for a school to include these foundation movement patterns into their sports curriculum is to outsource it. Therefore, we have great pleasure in introducing our Schools Program to you.
Taking the same trainers and spirit of adventure that has made the Kids in Motion program such a success, we now transfer these qualities into an innovative, movement-based program on your very own door step.
KIDS IN MOTION is offering up our trainers to come to you OR for you to come to our new state of the art facility. Our cutting edge program can support and work with your school and physical education curriculum.
The advantages are:
1: We can have the kids up and moving without leaving the school grounds.
2: The school does not need to find more funds to invest in new equipment.
3: We can teach all the kids to have a love for sport which will carry over for the school in other ways.
Truth is…it will be the highlight of the kids week!
The alternative is that we can also run programs for bus loads of kids at our very own studio during regular school hours. If you haven't seen with your own eyes our KIDS IN MOTION facility by now, you must have heard great things about it! The studio has been designed to enhance a child's ability to problem solve through movement, and in turn, diversify their skills in preparation for any sporting endeavor. We use trampolines, jumping pits, rock climbing walls, swinging rings, padded floor work and climbing ropes as just some of the many experiences at KIDS IN MOTION.
We would be happy to showcase our facility with some of your students to see if KIDS IN MOTION and the Sports Embrace School Program can work in partnership with your school.
Call us today on 03 9681 9407 or contact us online.

Barry pulled out of his pocket a device and turned it on. It was a phone with a GPS installed and – after he tapped in a code – the phone opened up to three or four apps.
"What's that for?" Krampus asked.
"Well, we have to find Santa, I've been keeping tabs on all of them." He said.
"Gimme that!" the tall, dark demon reached out for it, but the elf pulled it out of his reach, "What's so special about you having this thing and not me?" Barry looked to the device, avoiding eye contact again, and Krampus grabbed him, shoving him against the nearby wall of the living room, where the Head Elf dropped the phone.
The lights came on in the dungeon and all five of them sat there looking at each other for a moment before they realised where they were.
"We're at Krampus' house?" Santa asked as he stood slowly and moved toward the door, "This can't be right."
The Blue Fairy looked outside where lights from the trees began to illuminate and shimmer, "My wish, it's happening."
Mother Nature joined her at the window, "You used the only thing you knew to get something happening; and who'd know that Disney thing would be true?"
"Well, I am the Blue Fairy; and I told him to include it in the movie." She smiled, "So many children began to believe in fairies after that."
Odin snorted, "So, that's why Norse mythology has gone out the window?"
Santa looked at himself, "But I'm still looking like Krampus."
Mrs. Claus looked around, "Something happened."
The young half-elf nodded, "Yes. The house shook, and where's Barry?"
Exchanging doubtful looks, the two moved to the door, opened it and walked out to the balustrade of the first floor to find Krampus had cornered Barry.
The Head Elf looked up at the two his arms flailing, "Mrs. Claus, please help!"
Walking down the stairs, she kept silent, as she rounded Krampus' large, dark form and picked up the phone off the floor, "What is this? You have a red and green one on you already. This one is blue."
"I... um... well..." he mumbled.
"Tell her about what you've been up to!" Krampus growled, his eyes burning red as he shoved him against the wall again.
"Krampus, let him go, let him explain without you tearing him apart." Mrs. Claus touched the dark creature's arm and he suddenly quietened, and stepped back but didn't let go of the elf's arm, "Okay."
"I organised to have Santa kidnapped – and his friends you'd normally turn to to find him." Barry said, "I did this because I'm always passed over by Santa for promotion; and I wanted to get him back."
The older woman frowned, "So you turned my husband into something he's not and made him vanish? Then, kidnapped his other friends as well?"
He nodded, "And that's not all."
Krampus raised a blackened eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Barry flinched just before he opened his mouth, "Your little helper there? I organised to have her moved here. She wasn't too Human, she was after my job, so I got rid of her."
Mrs. Claus took a step back as the shock of this news hit her, "You got rid of the only person in the North Pole who I saw as a daughter amongst that rabble all because she was better at a job than you were?"
He pouted, "I've been Head Elf for over three hundred years; and when a woman wants to take over the job from you – and you're a guy – you have to wonder where you've gone wrong!"
Krampus looked over at Mrs. Claus, "Well, you made a lot of wrong moves there boy... and I think I know how to fix it." He turned around to find the young Halfling standing next to him, "You really miss working at the North Pole, don't you?"
"More than anything!" she sighed, "And to find out how this all happened, well, I'd love to have his job."
The tall, dark demon smirked, "First thing's first: tell us where Santa and his group of buddies are and we'll let them dish out the punishment."

CareVue Cloud
Medsphere's CareVue Cloud option makes comprehensive EHR functionality available without the added burdens of on-premises deployment.
Via Medsphere's software-as-a-service (SaaS) strategy, the fully cloud-based version of CareVue gives customers greater accessibility and saves the expense of local servers and data centers.
CareVue and all support services run in secure and isolated Amazon Web Services' (AWS) virtual private clouds (VPCs). Each customer's private CareVue instance is replicated across two geographically separate AWS regions; CareVue resources and data are isolated from other customers and malicious intruders. CareVue applications run in the cloud and are delivered to local workstations via web browser with a small helper client.
Each client's data is separate and secure, meeting all HIPAA and HITECH requirements for security at rest and in transport. Medsphere's base Cloud offering can scale to meet the needs of any organization.
The Advantages of CareVue Cloud
- Lower Capital Costs: With CareVue Cloud, hospitals dispense with the need for onsite servers, hardware upgrades and specialized IT staff. Scaling up requires no additional capital investment.
- IT Support Savings: Adoption of CV Cloud means the hospital has no need to deploy desktop application suites or local data centers; maintenance of applications and servers is not required.
- Peace of Mind: Medsphere customers receive specialized and highly qualified support, standardized deployments, high availability, hourly backups and full disaster recovery systems/plans.
How CareVue Cloud Technology Works
- CareVue Cloud spans multiple Amazon regions in dedicated, HIPAA-compliant, isolated virtual private clouds (VPCs) (see diagram below).
- Medsphere leverages years of CareVue systems administration expertise to enable security features that surpass HIPAA requirements and design features that exceed typical on-premise installation performance.
- Each customer has a primary CareVue instance in one region and a secondary instance in a geographically distinct area, providing both high availability and disaster recovery (DR) features. This approach maximizes DR resilience during events like natural disasters that impact large geographical areas.
- Included in each customer instance:
- Complete CareVue environments
- IPSEC VPN tunnels for secure access and transport of printer, interface, and other data between CareVue Cloud and on-premises resources
- Load-balanced user access portal & application servers
- 24x7 support
- Built-in high availability & disaster recovery features
- Each customer's data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is isolated and encrypted separately from that of all other customers.

On Tuesday 7th March seven students attended the Tomorrows Engineers Robotics Competition using the Lego Mindstorm technology.
The group have been working hard over recent months to create a working robot that was programmed to complete a number of missions (such as launching a rocket!) which replicated missions which NASA hope to complete on Mars in the future.
They had to complete four tasks: a group work challenge building a Lego model bridge, deliver a presentation on potential life on other planets, complete a series of challenges with their robot and finally explain their robot design to a panel of judges.
The team received a prize for their robot design task but overall had completed all tasks with an incredible level of maturity and professionalism!
This competition will be running again next year, if you are interested please see Miss Turner for details of how to get involved.

I own a local call center and have a customer that is entering the standard code for forward her phone lines. It's not working. We assume it is *72. Is that the case all across the US with Cox or is is different is some places?
Tammy firstname.lastname@example.com 24x7doctorsansweringservice.com/
Yes, that should work. I wonder if her phone is already forwarded, it would give some kind of message or tone. Did the customer say how it didn't work? Can they forward to other numbers?

Why Use Artificial Wedding Flowers?
Artificial flower arrangements for weddings are an affordable alternative to fresh blooms and last longer too. Fresh flowers can often get damaged in transit as they are very fragile but the real looking artificial versions are more resilient and still look stunning alongside your wedding decor.
If you have an allergy to pollen or often get hay-fever then artificial flowers allow you to have the best of both worlds - enjoying the beauty of flowers at your wedding without the sniffles. This also goes for your guests too, as there are traditional bouquets for the bridesmaids to hold and buttonholes for the grooms men, along with all the table centrepieces and floral decorations around.
Another benefit of having artificial flower arrangements for weddings is that you can create a specific look without restriction from seasonality. For example if you wanted an exotic style flower arrangement or a particular flower that grows in spring, this can be created even if the flowers are out of season in the UK. Our team can make a uniform arrangement so each table, buttonhole or bouquet matches your style perfectly.
Weddings can be a magical time and the floral decorations you choose and how they are used in the decoration can make a real impact on the setting. Artificial flowers have stronger stems that can be tied to pillars, arches, chairs, pews and cars with ease to make your wedding vision into a reality.
How Does The Service Work?
If you would like to have your wedding flowers created by our specialist florists then please contact us on 0151 334 0818. We can have a chat about your wedding requirements and timelines and provide you with a quote.

I just love the set Inspired by Nature, just I have a creative block when it comes with creating with it, LoL, I feel like there can't be much variety as the images are of the size of a card front. So I tried to create a little different card with this set. The color combo I used is kiwi kiss, so saffron, and pumpkin pie. As well I used the color spritzer to spray the so saffron background. As well I used crystal effects to cover the black susan image (the color one).
So here is the outcome , scroll down for supplies.
stamp sets: Inspired by Nature
ink: kiwi kiss, so saffron, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip
paper: so saffron, pumpkin pie, very vanilla and kiwi kiss
other: crystal effects, peony dew drops, kiwi kiss stripped ribbon, nestabillities, paper piercing tool.

Hello everyone!
I absolutely adore festivities and holidays. I want to be in theme for every holiday ever. Sad is that Halloween isn't celebrated very much in Belgium. No one dresses up and the only thing you'll find here is some shops decorated in theme. For festivities there are some haunted hikes around town, but that's the only thing you'll find here. October 31th is a day just like the others.
I think it's a shame, because when I look at the US, I see all those fun activities and things to do around this fall time of the year. I really want to go apple picking, visit corn mazes and carve out pumpkins. And I didn't even mention dress up parties or trick or treat. We only get pumpkin soup or pumpkin spice latte. Yeah.
I still want to be in style for the time of the year, so I came up with a subtle Halloween look, wearable when you don't want to dress up or celebrate it. Well, that was one hell of an intro, but here we go!
The products
That was it for today everyone! I hope you like the look.
How do you celebrate Halloween?
See you next time!
Your Belgian blogger,
xoxo, Tessa

Bushwick is a long way from Manhattan. There's no East 4th Street Arts Block, there's not (yet) a Starbucks on every corner, and there's no fantasy of a a newer, more accessible subway line. The broken down L train couldn't even get me there this past Saturday, when I ventured out from the deep depths of South Brooklyn to see Eric Schmalenberger and Raging Squid Ink's presentation of Dead Dream Machine.
Brooklyn is a series of inaccessible neighborhoods, and the artists who've landed here, market rate rent refugees turned outer borough connoisseurs, make art where they live. New venues are springing up all over the place, theater makers are creating work they can walk to, and reflecting the ethos of their given hoods. I've seen intense yet sophisticated theater with clogs in Carroll Gardens, poetic theater for social change in Clinton Hill, in December I'll be staging philosophical plays for grown-up hipsters in Park Slope, and last Saturday I witnessed degenerate ballet at La Luz in Bushwick.
Dead Dream Machine, written by Jake Thomas, directed and choreographed by Rachel Klein, creates its own genre, let's call it Goth Sketch Comedy, and then nearly perfects it. Mad scientists whose tenure needs to be revoked, puppets who are people, death as a corruptible middle manager, high-schoolers with hard-ons for hanged men, and lascivious ballerinas, take us on a journey that is less about dreams than the horrible waking moments that feel like dreams. We find that what is most terrible is just how unquantifiable our own horribleness can be. The characters in these disconnected scenes are primarily cruel, heartless, and selfish. It's not surprising when they betray each other, or are so overcome by their own fear or shame that they abandon their friends to wretched fates.
I've been a dreamer of nightmares and recurring dreams for years, and I kept looking for that repeating dream, the one the dreamer cannot escape. While it was not there in words, it was there in Klein's delicate transitions between the dreams. At these moments, the dreamer appeared, an observer in her own consciousness, led by a steam-punk shaman, to watch a ballerina drift between innocence and degradation, never able firmly set foot firmly in either state of being. For my own taste, I would have preferred if the individual scenes had more connectivity, recurring characters, for example, but a narrative can only be imposed by the dreamer upon waking, and the dreamer in this piece stayed sleeping, her consciousness splayed open on the slab of the stage.
This is the first run of a new show La Luz, and the space is great. It was welcoming while still slightly off-putting, cheap drinks, vegan snacks, and a bunch of people who all honestly seem to dig each other. Let's see more at La Luz. They don't even need the L train, they have a fucking party bus.
If you go (you should go), you have four more nights to check it out:
Thursday 10/10 – Sunday 10/13 @ 8 pm, doors at 7:30 pm
135 Thames Street
(L to Morgan, or get on the party bus)
Bushwick, Brooklyn

Server Transfers, Active Nation Change and Society Name Change
KasparK (Helmsmen)
edited May 27 in Frequently Answered Questions
Server Transfers, Active Nation Change and
Society Name Change.
Server Transfers;
What is a Server Transfer and what does it do?
A server transfer is a token you can purchase with "10" Burning Sea Notes which result in 3000 Burning Sea Points. This unique item allows you to transfer over 1 character of your choosing. BUT for example, if the toon you want to transfer over is a "Pirate" and you want to go over to the "Spanish" this cannot be done. You will have to start a new character from scratch.
How long will this process take?
It could take up to 24 hours to get this transferred, but do not worry! All of your belongings on that toon such as Doubloons, Influence, Warehouse items and Ships (Deed form or in your dockyard). Basically everything you have on that toon gets transferred.
What do I have to do?
You do not need to do nothing. But from my experience I tend to email email@example.com so they know i'm waiting to be transferred and they can email you to log off the account so it can be transferred. (Check your emails) You MUST be offline for this process to take action.
What will happen to my society I created and what will happen to my friends list?
Unfortunately your society cannot get transferred and as soon as the process starts, your character will be kicked from the society as the process is being processed.
Your friends list will be wipe so any friends on your list will be removed (Same with the ignore list)
I believe this has covered most grounds of what this feature does and what is needed.
Active Nation Change:
What does this do and how does it work?
Active nation change allows you to change nation once you have purchased this token. You will need to go into your inventory and click on the "Special" tab. From there you will be able to consume it.
This token is also a 1 time consumable. Once you use it and you are certain you are ready to change nation you simply log out of the game and then log back in and BEFORE you choose you character you log in with you may choose the nation you desire to change to.
NOTE:Your characters cannot transfer nations. So if you are wondering if you can do this, You cannot. You will have to start from scratch as a level 1.
Society Name Change:
What does this do and how does it work?
To use this it will be in the "special tab" in your inventory. This will allow you to change you society name if desired. This is a 1 time consumable which can only be used once. To allow the full changes with the name change to work, you will need log out and back into the game.
Send server-name, the old name and the new name to:
Also the society members will get an email saying that the society leader has renamed the society and that if you do have any questions why the leader has changed name to contact them.

Concealable nose rings are one option for retaining a piercing without wearing noticeable jewelry. Concealing body piercings is a concern, especially in the workplace. There are some specific things you should consider before buying or wearing a concealable nose ring, such as whether or not it will sufficiently hide your piercing.
Concealable nose rings, also known as nose or nostril-piercing retainers, are available in a few different styles. There are clear and skin-colored retainers. Flesh tone retainers can be difficult to find, especially if you have very dark skin. Retainers can be screws--the type that twist into your piercing--or bones, the type that slide straight into your piercing. Most nostril retainers are made from lucite, acrylic or glass.
The most basic function of a concealable nose ring or piercing retainer is to replace a regular nose ring, nose bone or nose screw. Most people use concealable nose rings to keep their piercing from closing in circumstances in which they cannot wear regular body jewelry, such as work or a special occasion. Concealable nose rings can be worn for long periods, but if it is made from a flexible material, your piercing may shrink over time.
The average size for a nostril piercing is 18 gauge. Sometimes nostril piercings are 20 gauge, but they're harder to find jewelry for. Most body jewelry dealers sell concealable nose rings in 18 gauge only. There is more variety in the length of nose rings. Nose screws are typically between 6 and 8 mm in length. Nose bones range from 6 to 10 mm. The length is a matter of comfort more than anything else.
A concealable nose ring will allow you to keep your piercing without wearing obvious jewelry. It retains the gauge of your piercing so jewelry will fit when you put it back in. Concealable nose rings are inexpensive, so they can be replaced easily if lost. A concealable nose ring can look much more professional than just a small nose bone.
Concealable nose rings are noticeable, but usually only when someone is close to you. If you work in customer service, a concealable nose ring might not be enough to pass your dress code. Makeup may provide better coverage if you are being photographed or work closely with people. If your piercing is new, removing jewelry to put in a retainer can damage the piercing, cause shrinkage or even scar tissue. Do not assume that you can get pierced Friday and start wearing a retainer daily on Monday.
