December is upon us, and if there's one thing I think is crap, it's the Holiday Season(TM). And if there's another thing I think is crap, it's Batman and the Outsiders. So let's flip the bird to both by 1) examining the series' first Annual in excruciatingly critical detail, and 2) doing this special 4th of July story during the build-up to CHRISTMAS. By no means am I staging one of those attacks on Christmas we hear so much about on FOX News, but Conservatives may still find a lot to offend them in this Mike Barr story. Hey, it's right there on the cover. A burning U.S. flag. Mike Barr is a pinko hippie, clearly.
-The secret origin and meaning of Geo-Force's new, extra-garish costume!
-The introduction of America's last line of defense against liberal fascism: The Force of July! (They do 4th of July puns too)
-The Outsiders get owned and then prevail! (Yes, I realize this is the plot to every single Outsiders storyline to date)
-Conservative so evil, 1984's kids probably all asked their parents if they could get a membership in the Democratic Party for Christmas!
-95% less Batman! (Oh Lord.)
-Halo's dating woes! (Oh Looooorrrrrrrrdd.)
Set the wayback machine to 1984, I'm going to be unfairly critical, but I promise not to use any that Newspeak the kids like to use these days. It'll be doubleplusfun!

I beg to differ.
He's no H.G. Wells, but still a democratic socialist, which informed his non-fiction and fiction both.

text: In the Ten Commandments, and throughout the Bible, we are told that God is jealous. Exodus 34:14 even says that Jealous is His Name. What in the world does that mean? How can God be jealous? I thought that jealousy was a bad thing! How can it be okay for God and not for us? In this message, we look at why we should embrace and affirm the jealousy of God.

The news from CoreLogic that house prices fell 1.1% across the combined capital cities in May attracted considerable attention last week. What seems to have attracted less attention was the subsequent comment that "values have fallen during May in four of the past five years." The question then is whether the latest decline in house prices is the new trend following the recent tightening of lending criteria imposed on banks by the regulator or merely a "blip".
Geopolitical concerns remain high with another terrorist attack in London over the weekend. This may see some risk averse trading early this week which will see gold, bond yields and the US dollar rally at the expense of equity markets.

Consent for Treatment not Obtained
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) cited Brynn Marr Hospital for failing to inform patients of their rights. The facility failed to obtain signed consents for two patients who were involuntarily committed at the facility. In both cases, not only were the proper consent forms regarding their treatment and acknowledgment of patient rights unsigned, but the medical records also had no documentation showing any attempts were made by the facility to reach the patients' legal guardians for consent. As a result, the facility was required to submit a plan of correction to address its cited deficiencies and revise its policies and procedures.

Violet is wonderful!
The mere ambiguity in the secret it releases is indescribable. Violet teases my being in a very positive way that's why I like to have it close to me. It's at the same time distressing, unbridled, calm and dreamy.
Violet is the synonym of secret, magic, power and exaltation. And what's most important – violet is rebellious and independent!
However in Christian tradition this colour symbolizes penance.
In the history of humanity violet
has often been treated "interchangeably" with black as a colour of mourning. This phenomenon has been especially seen where black has been rejected due to its too negative connotations or as equivalent of extraordinary events ( for example veils of widows getting married again were violet, not black ).
Exceptional prestige among colours gained crimson – connection of red with violet.
Since antiquity crimson dye, made of little Mediterranean snail secretion has been highly esteemed. Kings and magnates wore crimson robes probably because the dye was extremely expensive and the colour could rarely be found in nature.
"To put on crimson" meant to become a king or a cardinal. For this reason until now this colour symbolizes authority, splendour, divinity. Combining crimson and gold we mean luxury, power and wealth. And adding violet to gold – victory, triumph and rising.
In a European painting the colour violet has been rarely used so its role was marginal. Such situation was probably caused by lack of access to dye of proper quality. The only one known since the Middle Ages, very short-lasting and natural violet dye, was folium, the juice from plants. However it did not have adequate distinctness. Violet in the past has been obtained mainly from mixture of cool red with blue. But "non-existence" of violet took place also in Sixth and XX th century when the era of chemically produced paints came which is quite an ordinary phenomenon.
From contemporary known artists only 2 great colourists often used violet as a colour which is beautiful, intensive and pure: Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse. And for this I hold them in high esteem.
Now this colour is much more appreciated and liberated, which pleases the eye and mind :)
Pierre Bonnard – The terrace at Vernonnet
Virtuosity of colours and sounds with addition of warm and cool violet.

After the long day's hustle, over a hundred individuals stopped over at the AAF gallery to attend the opening reception of Uche Uzorka's second solo exhibition, "Line.Sign.Symbol" on January 31st, 2013. Uche Uzorka who majored in painting and graduated from the University of Nsukka, Nigeria, produced a new series of works which suggest an exploration more akin to daydreaming, about the inner workings of his thought process rather than about a specific conceptual message that prescribes the overall thought towards art, but after deep thought and unprecedented fame he achieved over the years, he felt compelled to release this new series to the world in this exhibition "Line.Sign.Symbol"
Joseph Gergel, Curator at the African Artists' Foundation and Curator of the exhibition, opened the event by welcoming the guests and giving a warm speech about the man of the hour. Uche's speech moved it's audience as he revealed the concept behind his new series and his drive towards the completion of his works. He shared the joy he feels when he sees people staring with concentration at his works trying to understand how he thinks or just trying to make something out of his abstract works. Uche also addressed upcoming artists telling them to challenge themselves more and see beyond the horizon.
The outcome of the event was not anticipated. Uche's new works struck a chord with his fellow Nigerian artists who were present at the reception. With the motivation from successful art-lovers and publicists, a chance to interact with the art community, and light refreshments to keep the guests entertained, it was truly a day to remember.
Uche's works will be displayed at the AAF gallery from January 31st – February 23, 2013

I am having trouble creating an email campaign that outputs unique survey links. Basically, after I added the contacts by uploading a spreadsheet, I saw the "working" icon, and after that, nothing happened nothing was added.
Best answer
This usually points to some kind of an issue with the file that you are uploading.
For example, the file might be too large to be uploaded at once – If you have 20,000+ contacts, I would recommend splitting this into at least 2 files and uploading each file.
Additionally, you may need to review your column headers – do your column headers have special characters or HTML?
These are just a couple things to look into.

raywildaol.com======================================== Arnold
quickly showered and then opened the medicine cabinet in search of
some toiletry articles he might use. It was filled with new tubes
and boxes of everything. He was just wondering whether this was new
supplies, or there for a guest use, when he heard a quiet tap on
the door. "Who is it?" "Suzanne." He opened the door and she
quickly slipped in and shut it behind her after noticing he was
completely nude. "Go ahead and use anything in there. We keep it
stocked in case someone forgets something." Arnold grabbed a stick
of deodorant and a toothbrush and toothpaste which he began to use.
"Mom thinks you're very beautiful but a bit indiscreet." She
giggled. "I didn't know what else to say. I guess I was hoping she
wouldn't notice I didn't have my jockstrap on." "You've got to be
kidding. Not notice?" "Well. . ." "Don't worry. Remember my
brother. We had a parade of gorgeous bodies in all different states
of undress wander through our house back west. I had mentioned my
conversation with my friend last night to her. She knew about you,
too." "What do you mean?" "I mean, I had told her that I was going
to try and fuck you, so she should keep clear of the house for a
little while. I guess I lost track of the time. She said she had to
be home by four-thirty to get ready for a meeting tonight."
"Four-thirty?. I've got to get going. You'll take me to the train
station, won't you?" "Of course." "Let me just finish up here and
I'll be ready to go in about ten minutes." "Okay." Suzanne walked
over to him and wrapped her hand around the head of his thick,
dangling cock. She raised it up and bent over to place a long,
lingering kiss on the end of it. It stirred and began to fill
slightly with blood. He pushed her away and took the fat,
mushroom-shaped head from her hand, letting it drop where it swung
back and forth and finally came to rest between his two huge balls.
Suzanne lifted her gaze to his face. "You are beautiful." "You are
beautiful." He reached out and brushed an erect nipple through her
thin cotton shirt with his forefinger. "I'll see you downstairs in
a few minutes." She turned and left. He quickly finished and put on
his jock, shorts and shirt, which still smelled heavily of Suzanne,
and headed downstairs. Both Suzanne and her mother were in the
living room off to the right of the staircase. "I have to get some
clothes out of the car and there's a paper I need you to sign. I'll
be right back." He went out to the car and dug through his bag for
a clean pair of pants and shirt. He got the forms for the driveaway
company out of his knapsack and took them into the living room
where Mrs. Patterson was waiting. Both the women's gazes were
locked firmly on the distended front of his gym shorts as he walked
towards them. Handing the paperwork to Suzanne's mother, she raised
her eyes to his face. "My daughter tells me you're quite a talented
young man." "Your daughter is very open about her personal life."
"She's a grown woman, now. I hold no control over her behavior. I
guess she told you about my son." "Yes. I'm sorry to hear about his
accident." "He was a fool. I miss him, I love him, but he was doing
a very stupid thing and he paid for it with his life. It's quite
obvious you have a working knowledge of the equipment in our
basement." "It's a very nice collection of gear." He wanted to say
that it was a shame that it was going unused, but thought better of
it. "It's a shame it's just sitting down there, going to waste."
The look on her face told Lolita Fuck him she had anticipated his
thoughts. "I'm sure you could Lolita Fuck sell it or maybe donate
it to a youth club in the city. Or something." "Are you going to be
in the city very long?" "I haven't really firmed up my plans yet. I
want to see how it feels, being here. If I like it, I could be
around for a while." He wondered where this was leading. He
suspected it had something to do with the gear downstairs, but
couldn't see the connection. Suzanne got out of her chair and came
over to him. As she talked she ran her finger tips lightly,
electrically, over his arm and chest. His cock began to stir,
though he had been sure there was nothing left in that department.
"We were just wondering if you would be interested in putting all
the hardware to use. If you wanted to workout here. . ." Her eyes
locked with his and the fingernail of her right forefinger slowly
flicked the nipple of his right pec, causing it to grow firm and
hard until it ached. "In fact," Mrs. Patterson added, "you could
perhaps get the gear in good operating order and then help us find
a proper home for it." She paused for a second, contemplating a
point and then continued with some resolve. "I miss the sound of
the weights banging and the groans of determination. My son would
have his friends over and they would spend hours with the gear. The
noise filled the house, gave Lolita Fuck it a
life. There was so much energy. After the accident I told his
friends to feel free to come over and continue to use the
equipment, and they did for a while, but it wasn't the same. After
a couple of weeks they stopped coming. It got very lonely. I
couldn't bear to sell the stuff, but I didn't know what else to do
with it, either. That's why I brought it east with us." "I wish we
had known you before we moved," Suzanne said. The double meaning of
her remark did not escape any of them. "We could have left the
stuff with you." "You mind if I sit down?" "Please." Arnold sat on
the sofa across from Mrs. Patterson. Suzanne joined him and began
to move in close to him, but sensed something and held back. "I'm
flattered by your offer. I know your daughter would probably
appreciate my being around, as well. She would make an interesting
workout partner. I have a feeling I'd be taking an awfully long
time to get through my routine, though. I have to say that it's a
very attractive proposition." Mrs. Patterson smiled knowingly. "I
hear a 'but' approaching." "But. I came here to see the city. I
came here because of some friends of mine back home who have
friends here. Very good friends. I also came here because I had to
get away from my own home. I want to try to become my own person,
not a replacement son, which is what I think you're looking for. I
certainly wouldn't mind seeing you both again, and perhaps I can
come out and visit. But I need to try this city thing on my own. I
think you understand." Mrs. Patterson nodded her acceptance of his
position. She was impressed with how much the boy had perceived.
She also was sorry not to have the opportunity to see his
magnificent body around the house. She knew he was attracted to her
daughter, but the sight of that huge cock hanging out of his gym
shorts still burned bright in her thoughts. She certainly was not
too old to be able to appreciate the aesthetic as well as sexual
qualities of his physical appearance. "Thank you for your
sensitivity, Arnold. I'm impressed that you can see your way so
clearly and still understand the needs of others. How old are you?"
"Just turned eighteen." "I would have thought much older. But I
guess I knew that you had just graduated from high school. Do you
have any future plans for school?" "I have to catch a train into
the city. I'm not trying to see too much further than that. I spent
a long time being a non-person in my family. I have to learn who I
am and then I'll figure out where I'm going." With that he stood.
"Would you like to look the car over and sign the form? I need to
put these clothes on." "Arnold?" "Yes, Suzanne." "Do us a favor,
would you?" "What's that?" "I know this is going to sound strange,
but could you get changed here?" He looked to her mother to see her
reaction. Her face was unreadable. This surprised him as much as if
she had given her ready consent. "When my brother's friends would
come over they would do posing routines for us in the living room
after their workouts." "Are you married, Mrs. Patterson?"
"Divorced. Does it matter?" "I don't know. It seems like it
should." He thought for a moment. These were no longer a mother and
daughter, but two women who wanted to appreciate his body, who were
sexually attracted to him and were honest enough about it to be up
front with him. He pulled his shirt off, then slowly lowered his
arms, flexing the muscles of his arms and torso. Suzanne moved to
her mother and sat on the arm of her chair. Their eyes were riveted
on him and he could not tell which of the two were more interested.
He struck several different poses, displaying various sides of his
body to them. They would occasionally gasp or make quiet comments
to each other, as the sight of his well-built body recalled other
moments in their lives. After he finished with these poses, he
slipped his thumbs into the waistband of his shorts. One thumb went
under the band of his jock strap as well. He hesitated for a moment
and then adjusted Lolita Fuck the other thumb so
it did the same. He knew they had both been holding their breath to
see what his decision would be. The thought of these two women
enjoying his body on a purely physical, sexual level was extremely
appealing to him. This was, after all, what had originally
influenced his decision to begin building his body. A sudden memory
flashed in his mind. The man with the huge muscles (maybe they only
seemed that way at the time; Arnold suspected he was now
considerably more developed than him) at the side of the pool with
the two women hanging all over his body. Along with that memory
came the remembrance of his first ejaculation a short time before
in the shower room. The gym shorts and jock started their
excruciatingly slow journey to the floor. Suzanne's right hand
moved slowly towards her crotch and by the time Arnold's huge cock
was completely exposed she was making contact with her clitoris,
little flicking motions with her finger meant for only him to see.
The other woman sat dead still. She watched the boy's body from a
completely different perspective. She knew her daughter had just
made love to this magnificent specimen, had just been pummeled with
that stanchion of a cock. She tried to imagine her daughter's
fulfillment. But on top of that were the thoughts of her own son
who had participated in the living room posing sessions. Memories
of dark thoughts passed through her mind. Her son and his friends
in their gym shorts or tight fitting posing trunks. Their penises
prominently displayed. Each of the hormonally-overflowing youths
trying very hard to impress the young woman sitting next to her
now. She knew some of those events had culminated in sexual
activity. She even suspected that several of the boys had become
involved with each other. She had considered the physically and
emotionally charged nature of their activity and had written it all
off to a general need for physical release. But now, here was this
unusually beautiful, physically exciting, bright young man in her
new living room, stirring memories of the past but surpassing them
all. She knew her daughter was trying very hard not to let her see
her masturbation. She wished she were as bold. Deep needs and
desires flooded through her. She was fascinated by the huge cock
which hung heavily between the lad's thickly-muscled thighs. With
each movement it swung freely, widely, indicating its mass by its
momentum. She knew her son had been quite well Lolita
Fuck endowed, more so than many of his body building
friends. She had even caught glimpses of his member as he would
change into his posing trunks or bathing suit. Their household had
always been completely open, sexually. She, herself, had made it
known to several of his friends that she was available to help them
relieve their sexual tensions, should they so desire. Two of them
had regularly taken her up on it. They had also died in the crash.
Arnold knew what Suzanne was thinking, but he drew a blank when
trying to decipher her mother's thoughts. She seemed so lost in
them. Or was she just fixated on his cock. Without knowing why, he
moved closer to the two women and positioned himself within
touching distance of Mrs. Patterson. Her hand slowly reached out
and wrapped around the base of his cock. It didn't feel sexual,
exactly. More clinical. Like a doctor's exam. She lifted it, tested
its weight, ran her hand down its length to the huge head and then
allowed it to slip from her grasp. She then reached out and touched
his left thigh. He flexed the muscles there and she pressed her
fingers into the mass, experiencing the feel of the taut, rock-hard
sinews. Suzanne's reaction was slightly amusing. She didn't seem to
believe her mother would actually be interested in touching
Arnold's cock. When her mother was finished with it, Suzanne
reached her hand out to caress the thick tube of flesh but Arnold
had turned away from her to flex his back and ass muscles. Had he
done that on purpose or had he just not seen her approaching hand?
His gluts contracted and his sexy, tight ass was displayed proudly
for them. He did several other back poses, each one taking him
further away from them as he crossed back to the sofa where his
clothing lay. When he reached the other side of the room he
extracted his jock strap from the gym shorts and slipped his feet
through the elastic loops. He pulled the strap up until his cock
and balls were hanging over the top of the waist band and then
carefully picked up his genitals and placed them in the
precariously small cup with an expertise that spoke of years of
dealing with this problem. He pulled on the clean shirt, but left
it unbuttoned, the inside curves of his two pectorals meeting each
other in the gap in the fabric. Next he pulled on the pants, tucked
in the shirt tails, fastened the waist snap and then pulled up the
zipper over the huge bulge of his cock. Even covered with his
pants, his massive member, outlined beneath the fabric, was an
impressive sight. He stood before them Lolita Fuck for a
moment and enjoyed the lingering scent of sexual energy permeating
the air of the room. Mrs. Patterson spoke to Lolita Fuck her
daughter as if he wasn't in the room. He felt as if he were
eavesdropping on a private conversation. "He must be very good."
"He made me cum three or four times. I forget which." "How does it
feel?" "Total fulfillment. He licked me." Mrs. Patterson's eyebrows
shot up in question. "You've never had anyone do that to you
before?" "Nope. I thought only women did that to men." "Men should
always do that to women." "I know that now. He was very good at
it." Arnold interrupted. "Why do I feel like I've already caught
the train into town?" The two women laughed. Mrs. Patterson
replied, "This is how we always talk about our sex lives. We just
thought you'd like to hear it first hand." "I think this is one of

Maybe it's better that way. Can you check the car now?" "Sure." The
two women got up and took the forms out to the driveway where they
made a thorough inspection of the vehicle's body. They followed the
items on the inspection report and checked the brake and
headlights, damage to body panels and the general cleanliness of
the car. Arnold realized his litter bag was still in the front seat
and tried to grab it before they found it. Suzanne got to it first
and gave him a look of mock-exasperation. He responded with a look
of 'please don't beat me' to which she responded with a look in
return of 'in your dreams'. Mrs. Patterson was quite satisfied with
the condition of the car and thanked Arnold for having filled the
tank and run it through the car wash. She offered to reimburse him
for the gas but Arnold, remembering that he had not even paid for
it, declined. "I do believe I promised to make restitution for your
assistance in unloading the car. I can assume, by the shape your

Newark, N.J. — NJ Transit is poised to reduce locomotive idling, a source of perennial complaint about noise and air pollution, at its rail yards as of Jan. 1.
Newark, N.J. — NJ Transit is poised to reduce locomotive idling, a source of perennial complaint about noise and air pollution, at its rail yards as of Jan. 1.
The green initiative will include Metro-North Railroad's diesel equipment and yards in Port Jervis, N.Y., and Spring Valley, N.Y., as well as NJ Transit's in Suffern, N.Y., Raritan, Port Morris and Bay Head. NJ Transit operates Metro-North's trains in the New York counties of Orange and Rockland.
"Noise hasn't been much of an issue for us since they expanded the yard several years ago and moved the staging area for trains away from residences," Port Jervis Mayor Gary Lopriore said. "But I welcome the new policy regardless. Emissions and their impact on air quality are always a concern here, since we sit in a valley."
NJ Transit stopped idling diesel locomotives at temperatures above 40 degrees earlier this year and now is expanding the policy to include temperatures down to zero degrees.
During the past six months, the agency has upgraded engines and rail yards to allow for locomotive shutdowns when they are inactive for an extended period of time, particularly overnight.
More than 100 diesel engines have been retrofitted with new starters, block heaters and batteries. At the same time, new external, or wayside, power stations have been installed in rail yards to enable maintenance work to continue, even with engines turned off. Similar technology is being used at truck stops along major highways.
Richard Sarles, NJ Transit's executive director, said the green initiative not only addresses community concerns about noise but also the state's commitment to reduce fuel consumption and improve air quality.
"Our new policy will mean an improved quality of life for the communities we serve," Sarles said.

Shankill Graveyard is one of the oldest cemeteries in Belfast.
It has been used for burials for more than 1,000 years and, although they no longer take place in the graveyard, it remains an important historical site. One of the oldest legible stones belongs to George McAuley who died in 1685.
A memorial stone book is located in a special landscaped portion of the cemetery, which includes an area of grass where cremated remains can be scattered.
The site's gates and railings are listed due to their historical significance.
Another feature is the sculpture of Queen Victoria by artist John Cassidy, which you can see from the main entrance. The statue was originally located at in Durham Street, before being moved to the cemetery in 2003. It was carved from Portland stone in 1897 to celebrate the queen's diamond jubilee and shows her wearing a dress of Nottingham lace.
The earliest church on this site, dating back to around 1306, is believed to have been the White Church of the Chapels of the Ford.
Although the name 'Shankill' means 'old church' (from the Irish 'séan chill'), the name did not come into common use until the 17th century.
During the 18th century, most burials were of local people but, during the 19th century, residents from the nearby linen settlements of Glenalina, Ligoniel, Oldpark and Springfield were also buried in the cemetery. During this time, the site changed from a rural community graveyard to a town cemetery.
Many paupers and victims of the plague and other diseases are also buried in Shankill Graveyard, in unmarked graves. In fact, the Black Death sparked such fear, the ground surrounding the victims' graves was ordered to be closed over and never reopened, in case the disease was 'released'.
In 1834, a watchtower was built by William Sayers and Israel Milliken so families could guard new graves for a small fee. The idea was to prevent bodysnatchers from stealing 'fresh' remains for use in medical research.
Shankill Graveyard was handed over to the public in 1958, after it had fallen into disrepair following the decision to no longer accept new burials. Belfast Corporation (now the council) cleared and renovated the site, turning it into a 'rest garden' for local residents to enjoy.

Amongst those buried in the cemetery is William S Baird JP (1824-1886), founder of the Belfast Evening Telegraph (now the Belfast Telegraph). Reverend Isaac Nelson (died 1885), an Irish patriot, nationalist MP and former minister of Donegall Street Presbyterian Church, is also buried in Shankill Graveyard.

Backpacks and binders. Crayons, folders, notebooks and more!
- Written by Woodinville Weekly Staff
School districts all over Western Washington are publishing their back-to-school supply lists. Yet for families that are struggling, the cost of school supplies can be a financial burden.
That's why Harborstone Credit Union, with locations in Thurston, Pierce and King counties, is partnering with its members and local school districts on a back-to-school supply drive.
It's easy, and anyone can participate. Just stop by your local Harborstone branch and drop off your donation of new school supplies, including:
• Crayons, markers, No. 2 pencils, and erasers
• Spiral notebooks and lined notebook paper
• Glue sticks and scissors (Fiskars preferred)
• Backpacks
• Thumb drives (that's right; middle and high school students use them to store class assignments and work!)
"There's a tremendous need for support in our local communities, and I'm proud of our employees for adopting local schools and districts, making donations, and also encouraging our members to donate," explained Phil Jones, CEO of Harborstone."
Some of the schools that will benefit from the school-supply drive include:
• Carter Lake Elementary and Park Lodge Elementary (Clover Park School District)
• Giaudrone Middle School (Tacoma Public Schools)
• Northshore School District (all schools in need)
• Peninsula School District (all schools in need)
• Tukwila Elementary School (Tukwila School District)
The back-to-school supply drive is already underway and will wrap up Friday, Aug. 19. This will allow Harborstone employees to deliver supplies to their local schools before the first day of class, which is Aug. 30 for many districts.

No matter which end of the restaurant experience you're on, be it as a customer or a restaurateur, starting a meal with the order slip and ending it with the check is essential. Guest check holders and trays keep those little slips of paper where they need to be, while giving you a subtle way to present the bill to a customer or deliver an order to the kitchen. When you're on the back line, keeping orders organized is important, and when you're in the dining room, knowing how to discretely show customers the final bill, is equally important. Always have convenient guest check holders and trays on hand to help keep your establishment in working order.

Hello Ladies,
As promised, here is a quick comparison of gold to green duochrome polishes that I have in my stash. Pics first and talk later! All swatches are 3 coats of each polish without top coat.
Formula: They all have great formulas, but I find that Hits Trendy is thicker to apply. Ozotic 507 has the best formula (kind of sheerish compared to the others but I still love it)
Application: They all applied fine and were opaque in two coats, except Ozotic 507 which needed 3 coats because the base is sheer. I don't have any brushstrokes complaint. OPI Just Spotted The Lizard has the most brushstrokes but it is manageable so it is not bothering.
Finish: Hits Trendy has the most shiny finish and OPI Just Spotted The Lizard has the less shiny one. I was kind of disappointed in JSTL because of that but there is nothing that my Seche vite cannot fix!
Dupes: Hits Trendy and Ozotic 507 are similar, so are Just Spotted The Lizard and Iridescent Eye. Genius In The Bottle has warmer tones. I don't think they are dupe of each other, they have similar color shifts but they are pretty unique by themselves.
Which one is your favorite? I love them all lol :)
Thank you for reading!

Baked Buffalo wings! How to make Buffalo wings marinated in a spicy sauce, broiled and served with a tangy delicious blue cheese sauce. These baked Buffalo wings are easy, with less mess and cleanup.
- 2 lbs chicken wings (about 12 wings)
- 3 Tbsp butter, melted
- 4 Tbsp bottled hot pepper sauce (like Crystal or Frank's Original)
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Celery sticks (optional)
Blue cheese dip
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
1 Prepare wings: Cut off wing tips (discard or reserve for other use such as making stock). Cut wings at the joint. Put chicken wing pieces in a large bowl. Set aside.
Food safety note: when cutting raw chicken it is best to use a cutting board reserved just for cutting raw chicken. Wash thoroughly when finished. Do not let raw chicken juices come in contact with other food.
2 Prepare marinade: Create a marinade by stirring together the melted butter, hot pepper sauce, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper in a large bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside (you will use to coat the wings after they come out of the oven.)
3 Marinate the wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat all of the wings with the marinade. Let the chicken wings marinate at room temperature for half an hour.
4 Broil the wings: Remove the wings from the marinade (discard the marinade) and place them on the rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for about 10 minutes on each side, until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
5 Prepare the blue cheese dip: While the wings are cooking, place the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, vinegar, and garlic in a blender and pulse until smooth. Cover and chill. (Dip will last up to a week.)
6 Baste the wings with reserved marinade: Remove the chicken wings from oven and baste with the 2 Tbsp of reserved marinade (not the marinade that was in contact with the raw chicken).
Serve with Blue Cheese Dip and celery sticks.

What Makes Landscaping a Rose Garden Special?
Also, it is very useful and beautiful inside and outside the house. It also gives out very nice to the nose scent. Boys can simply cut one from her mother's planter or garden, and he now has something to give her girlfriend for a present. And it grows almost anywhere with the right sunlight and water amounts.
Landscaping a rose garden is never a difficult task but you have to make sure that what you choose from a variety of choices to accentuate your home will be the right one to really compensate it. Among the very many varieties of roses to grow n your garden, lawn, planters, or back yard are as follows:
- Tea Rose. This type of flowering rose is characterized with long stems and grows really tall. It also nods when it starts to bloom. So if you have an archway or patio, it will be a great accessory to soften its edges and conceal the details of the bricks, stones, concrete, or wood used in the said structure. Not to forget of course the fresh sweet scent it brings.
- Climbing rose. This is the rose you want to have in your landscape if you want to conceal a wall or something that will look awkward in your yard. Grow it and never worry again with the brick or concrete walls or fence in your home.
- Floribunda rose. Large blooms of different splashes of colors are what make Floribunda roses a great choice in landscaping a rose garden. It can be grown in a lot of color varieties so you can surely find one to compensate your household theme.
- Rugosa rose. For hedging or ground cover purposes, the Rugosa rose is the right choice. This is also available n a variety of colors so you can use it to accentuate a plant or tree by placing it right in front of any of these greeneries.
The class of roses you grow will have impact in the overall appearance of your home. But mainly, it is the color that provides whatever goal you have in landscaping a rose garden into your backyard or lawn. Therefore, before you start growing a rose garden, make sure that you have already picture out how it will impact in the overall appearance of the house.

Linguistic blundersPosted on February 10, 2013
It was this afternoon, while placing an order at the panificio, that I discovered I had been mispronouncing the Italian word for "onion" for the past five months.
Cipolla. It's a simple enough word – short, no tricky "r" sounds to roll around on the tongue – but I had learned it wrong from day one, read it wrong straight out of the textbook and burned that incorrect pronunciation directly into my brain before putting it to almost daily use at markets all across the city. Five months' worth of onions. Five months' worth of awkward mispronunciation. Even now, as I type all this, I'm still saying it wrong inside my head. CI-polla? No, Ci-POL-la.
The correct pronunciation was revealed to me by a woman wearing gigantic, dark sunglasses. We were crowded up against the counter of Panificio Bonci and it was my turn to order; I had been eyeing a slab of pizza bianca topped with copious amounts of onion. The word had barely left my mouth before the lady in the sunglasses turned sharply towards me, and I could sense that behind those dark lenses, her eyes were narrowing.
"Ci-POL-la", she hissed, her lips twisting into an expression of distaste as though it physically pained her to hear me butchering her beautiful language.
"Ci-POL-la", I repeated dutifully, feeling disconcerted. How was it possible that nobody had corrected me before now? Not the guy at the farmer's market this morning, who had cheerfully dropped a handful of onions into my shopping bag, not the lady at the fruit and vegetable stand that I frequent at Mercato Trionfale… no one. Were it not for the lady in the sunglasses, I would have continued my mispronunciation, driving the wrong sounds deeper and deeper into my brain every time an onion popped up on my grocery list.
And this, of course, begs the question: How many more Italian words am I habitually butchering, all the while blissfully unaware of the way I'm mangling the Italian language?

I was exactly the same with Fra-GOL-a instead of FRA-gol-a. My main issues are with double consonants and accents though – I just can't differentiate. Sarita

A new study to assess the effects of FDA regulations and guidance that sought to encourage greater inclusion of women and minorities in clinical drug trials found appropriate levels of female participation based on the estimated sex ratio of people affected by a particular disease. In contrast, some racial minorities, especially African-Americans, remain underrepresented in most drug development programs, according to the study published in the Journal of Women's Health.
Emmanuel Fadiran, PhD, and colleagues from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Office of Women's Health in the Office of the Commissioner of the FDA examined the demographic make-up of clinical trial participants and whether efficacy and safety data were obtained for both men and women for new drugs approved between 2013 and 2015 by CDER. To assess sex-based representation in drug efficacy and safety testing, the researchers determined the ratio of the proportion of women in clinical trials for a particular disease population relative to the estimated proportion of women in the disease population (PPR) for a new drug indication.
The authors reported that sex-based analyses for both efficacy and safety were conducted for the majority of new drug applications during the study period. Furthermore, representation of women in clinical trials was appropriate for more new drugs when the PPR was considered.
"The results presented by Fadiran et al. help to reassure us that women are being included at an appropriate level in all phases of clinical drug studies," said Susan G. Kornstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Women's Health, Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women's Health in Richmond, Virginia, and President of the Academy of Women's Health. "However, it will be important going forward to remain vigilant to the potential for sex-based disparities in new drug development, and to address the ongoing underrepresentation of some racial minorities, especially when they may have a relatively high prevalence for a particular drug indication."

text: About Matheus Lumber It's remarkable for any company in the lumber industry to run a profitable business for the past 80+ years, but Matheus Lumber continues to expand by relying on the basic principles of providing great customer services and competitive prices. It began in 1932 when William (Bill) Matheus founded the company in Seattle, WA. In 1942, Matheus Lumber furnished the bulk of the lumber for the Bailey Bridge Program which played a big part in hastening the end of WWII. In the early 1960's, Matheus Lumber supplied materials to seven of the main structures at the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle. The second generation of the Matheus family took the reins and incorporated Matheus Lumber Company in 1964. Matheus Lumber was a key participant in the construction of the Alaska Pipeline project, including providing materials for the toll road to Prudhoe Bay in 1970. Our history and continued dedication to providing the right materials at the right time, has made us Washington's number one supplier of forest products since 1932. From residential homes, roads, bridges, commercial buildings, multifamily, schools, marinas, or any other project, you can rely on Matheus Lumber to provide high quality construction materials to meet your goals. In 1986 the company established its first large distribution yard in Tacoma, WA, then consolidated all its operations to Woodinville, WA in 1993. National Expansion In 2002 Matheus Lumber opened two new branch offices: an Ellensburg, WA distribution facility and a regional office in Vancouver, WA. The Ellensburg branch expanded Matheus' presence in central and eastern Washington. Among its many clients are builders constructing custom homes in the Suncadia project in Cle Elum, WA. The Vancouver, WA office supports clients in the Portland, OR market as well as into Northern California. In the last ten years Matheus Lumber has added offices in Post Falls, ID; San Marcos, TX; Portland, OR; Phoenix, AZ and Mobile, AL. Each of these facilities are staffed by experienced professionals who have earned the loyalty of hundreds of customers building multi-family apartments, senior-living facilities, commercial projects, and single-family homes. Noteworthy Projects Matheus Lumber has played an important role in many large infrastructure projects throughout the country. In Seattle, Matheus Lumber provided the form board, timbers, lagging, and lumber for the Kingdome, and its replacement Quest Field, as well as Safeco Field. Recently, Matheus Lumber is supplying products to the Seattle Tunnel Partners, the consortium of companies boring the new traffic tunnel under Seattle. The company is also supplying crane mats, timber, and form board for the new 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington. Matheus is also supplying lumber, timbers, and form board to all five of the big Joint-ventures building the $57 Billion Light Rail project in Puget Sound. An Exciting Future Over the 80 years we have been a family owned and operated company, Matheus Lumber has proven that we are the "go to" provider of forest products in Washington State. Our track record and experience in the supply and distribution of forest products is unmatched. No matter the project, Matheus Lumber has always provided excellent service, excellent products, and kept up with the necessary time frames to ensure every contractor has the materials they need when they need them. As we expand into other states we bring our experience and track record with us, providing unparalleled service and supply to Idaho, Texas, Arizona, and the rest of the United States. As a major provider of lumber for residential, commercial, and concrete contractors, Matheus Lumber is looking forward to the next 80 years!

Pursuing my hobby of watching old movies, last night I watched The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, starring Gregory Peck. Vintage ~ 1956 and based on a book by Sloane Wilson. It was one of those Darryl Zanuck productions from the vintage years of Hollywood. It was well written, clearly spoken and with high production values in Technicolor.
Above all it was about integrity. An ordinary office worker in a safe job earning $7000 a year (those were the days) is persuaded by his financial circumstances to go for a riskier job making $10,000. He constantly has to face challenges to his integrity. By being honest he benefits even when the easy way would be to obfuscate and 'game' the situation. In this he is supported and even cajoled into honesty by his wife played by Jennifer Jones. (Minor parts are played by Fredric March, Lee J Cobb and Keenan Wynne). Then he is confronted by the fact that he has a son in Italy - the product of an illicit affair during the war. Now, there is a test for his integrity. Should he tell his wife? And if he does, how would she, who was so keen on honesty, react?
They don't make films like that any more.

Where Mad Men came from
Posted by Terry Hamblin at 12:22 pm
Labels: films
2 comments:
I've not seen the movie. But it's interesting that my mom knew Jennifer Jones slightly. She said she was a bright, funny and (obviously) a beautiful woman.
I do really like 'Mad Men', and I've certainly heard about the film. I should make a point of watching it.
People these days don't have as much integrity, IMO.

StratITsphere, a technology services company based in the Houston area, invested $15 million to renovate a warehouse in Katy into a new company headquarters and state-of-the-art data center. And that's just the first phase of the project the company unveiled today.
"Texas, especially in the Houston area, has a robust economy and a great environment for business,†said Stephen Webster, president and CEO of StratITsphere. "This is the right time and the right place to invest in the future.â€
The company will move from its offices in Humble to the 94,000-square-foot facility at 1510 Primewest Parkway in January. StratITsphere plans to invest additional millions to build out the facility over the next five years.
The first phase of development will create 10 jobs in 2011 with an annual payroll of $1 million, Webster said. The employee base will grow to 35 during the next five years.
The building represents the highest quality of data center that can be built. A data center provides a secure off-site location for companies to store their most important computer equipment and data, Webster said.
The site offers 24-hour manned security and advanced physical safeguards like video surveillance equipment and biometric locks to keep equipment and data secure, he said. In the event of an emergency, the site has generators, showers, kitchens and other amenities that allow it to operate independently from the outside world for up to six days. It also has multiple internet connections to guarantee clients can access their systems and data and keep their businesses open.
"If you have to evacuate for a hurricane and your systems are in our facility, you can run your business by pulling into a Starbucks and opening up your laptop,†Webster explained. Clients also can set up shop or camp out in data center if their respective offices are unusable.
Most companies can't afford or justify the expense to build and maintain such facilities on their own, so there is great demand to rent space from firms like StratITsphere, Webster said. Nationally, demand for such services is outpacing available supply by a 3-1 ratio.
Along with the data center, StratITsphere offers IT infrastructure and security consulting to Fortune 500 companies, including many energy companies based in Houston.
"Most companies don't get the full benefit from the millions of dollars they spend on computers and technology because they don't know exactly what they should buy, or they don't know how to use all the capabilities they've purchased,†Webster said. "We help them on both counts, and help them secure their systems so a low-level employee can't post company secrets on WikiLeaks.â€

Just for Kicks
Film: Kick
Cast: Salman Khan,Jacqueline Fernandes,Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Directed by: Sajid Nadiadwala
Duration: 2 hrs 26 mins
Rating: * *
The similarity between Salman Khan's film and a children's animation film is that, irrespective of the content, the target audience is generally happy with whatever is thrown at them. In fact, a six or eight year old might have an alternative opinion about an animation film but rarely will you get to hear a varying opinion from bhai's fans.
And it is not very difficult to see why. The man has a larger-than-life persona on and off the screen and some directors know better than others how to exploit it. From that point of view, producer turned director Sajid Nadiadwala is in full throttle in his debut venture Kick.Salman's fans will surely be delighted. As the actor says, "Main dil mein aata hoon samaj mein nahin" – whatever that is supposed to mean.
For the rest, it is all about looking at your watch and counting the minutes.
You don't expect a Kurosawa or Bergman-like experience in a Salman Khan enterprise. If you come out with your marbles intact, it calls for a celebration.
Apart from Salman Khan playing Salman Khan, he also plays a badass named Devi Lal who likes to beat up eve-teasers – the audience has seen that drill several times before but yet they lap it up. And if you thought the grand entry of the hero was done away with in the 80s, then think again. You see him making an entry in super slow motion as his face appears on the screen. Trends in film making don't apply to bhai - he is a trend unto himself.
In Kick, he is not exactly gainfully employed; his full time job appears to be pursuing his love interest Shaina (Jacqueline Fernandes) who is a psychiatrist and appears to be more exasperated than her patients.
Devi also has another avatar: he transforms into Devil, a Robin Hood character who also has full backing from his dad (Mithun Chakraborty). Randeep Hooda plays a cop in hot pursuit of Devil who is targeting the evil guy (Nawazuddin Siddique). It helps to have a villain who can hold your interest and who, at times, with his evil laugh and quirkiness, is more enthralling than the hero.
When it doesn't take itself seriously, the film is watchable but the moment it switches to serious mode, as it does every now and then, you want to hit the fast forward button. A car chase on the streets of Warsaw shows the Rohit Shetty has serious competition when it comes to blowing up cars.
And just for the record, I haven't seen a movie where the title is mentioned so many times in the film. As a part of the dialogue, if someone were to ask, "What did you have for lunch today?" am pretty sure the answer would have been "Kick".
The film is well shot by Ayananka Bose and it is obvious that big bucks have been spent in making it. Even though I am far from being a Salman Khan fan, I can see why he has such a fan following – he aims to please and does it well. Now, only if someone could cobble together a sensible story for him rather than just rehash South Indian films. At times, Nawazuddin Siddique is one up on Salman; in some of the scenes he is deliciously evil.
But all in all, this is just another Kick in the wall.

The AdvanTages of Modern Technology
Back then, we didn't have all of the wonderful advantages of modern technology. For instance, if we wanted to make copies of documents, we simply inserted more sheets of carbon in the typewriter.
Our telephones were the good old-fashioned black variety provided free of charge by Ma Bell. Our offices were in the local bank building. I think the phones were installed when the building was built around the turn of the century, and hadn't required service since. There was no such thing as a car phone.
Our dictating machines resembled Thomas Edison's original recording device. Dictation was recorded by a needle on a round plastic cylinder.
Summers and winters could be uncomfortable. When it got hot, we loosened our ties and sometimes removed our suit coats. We tried putting a fan in the window once but it blew all the papers off the desks.
In the winter, if we got cold, we had an old crescent wrench that we banged on the radiators. Someone down in the bowels of the building would then send up a blast of steam in the pipes. The office would then get too hot and we would have to open the windows to cool off.
Typewriters were operated manually and had no "memory".
To mail letters, we had a large roll of stamps. All you had to do was tear one off and lick it.
Today, we have all of the advantages of modern technology.
If we want to make copies of documents, we don't even use carbon paper; we have a wonderful photostat machine that even enlarges or reduces the size of copies at the push of a button.
Of course, the machine has a mind of its own. The manufacturer (which advertises that it makes nothing but photostat machines) has a large staff of service people, one of whom makes his home at our office. When something goes wrong, his explanation is that it's not the machine—we just use it too much.
When we moved into our new office building in 1980, we couldn't get the old black phones supplied by Ma Bell. We had to purchase...

Tiempo Climate Cyberlibrary
Climate Change and Pastoralism
About the Cyberlibrary
The Tiempo Climate Cyberlibrary was developed by Mick Kelly and Sarah Granich on behalf of the Stockholm Environment Institute and the International Institute for Environment and Development, with sponsorship from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
While every effort is made to ensure that information on this site, and on other sites that are referenced here, is accurate, no liability for loss or damage resulting from use of this information can be accepted.
Climatic fluctuations are a defining characteristic of dryland areas in Africa. Pastoralism is a livelihood system that enables dryland people to cope with these fluctuations. But pastoral systems depend on maintaining a delicate balance between pastures, livestock and people. Central to this is livestock mobility - moving herds to areas with better grazing conditions, particularly in dry periods.
Most climate change models predict rising temperatures and decreasing rainfalls in many African dryland areas. Rainfall will be increasingly erratic and more extreme weather conditions, such as droughts, are expected. This could undermine the delicate balance on which pastoral systems depend.
Decreases in pasture quality and quantity, due to low rainfall, mean pastoralists could lose their livestock and face destitution. Livestock are also more than economic assets - they are cultural and spiritual assets and define social identity. Scarcer resources and demographic growth are likely to increase competition for natural resources - possibly resulting in conflict and loss of livestock and livelihoods.
In northwest Kenya, several years of low rainfall have recently resulted in the death of many livestock, and in a major food crisis among the Turkana pastoralists.
Negative perceptions of pastoral systems have resulted in unfavourable policies in the past, particularly policies constraining herd mobility, damaging common property regimes under which many pastoralist systems operate and supporting agricultural encroachment. Pastoralists have, therefore, become more 'sedentary'. But in a changing environment, herd mobility will become even more important.
Experience shows that where pastoralists cannot move to refuge areas in times of crisis, the little available pasture and water attracts more livestock and people. This exacerbates environmental degradation around water points and leads to declining livestock health and productivity.
Tackling these issues requires action at local, national and international levels. Long-standing negative perceptions of pastoralism must be replaced by recognition of the rationale of such systems in dryland areas.
Key areas of policy intervention include:

The information on this page is relevant to earlier versions of Photoshop.
Get real-time previews of your Photoshop designs on multiple iOS devices with the new Device Preview feature in Photoshop and the Adobe Preview CC mobile app. Changes you make in Photoshop are displayed in Preview CC in real time. You can reliably connect multiple iOS devices to Photoshop using USB or over Wi-Fi.
If you have a document with artboards, Device Preview attempts to show you the correct artboard by matching the size and position of the artboard with the size of the connected device. You can also use the navigation bar to preview a specific artboard on the device or swipe through artboards that have matching widths.
Connect multiple iOS devices to Photoshop via USB or over WiFi. Creative Cloud seamlessly pairs your devices with Photoshop.
Ensure the following before connecting Preview CC to Photoshop over Wi-Fi:
• You are signed in to Creative Cloud in both Photoshop and Preview CC.
•The computer running Photoshop and the device running Preview CC are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Once the connection has been successfully established, the Device Preview panel in Photoshop displays the name of the connected device. Any changes you now make to the design in Photoshop are reflected in the preview on the device. When you rotate your device, the content being previewed is rotated automatically.
While connecting to Photoshop for the first time, Preview CC requires that the Device Preview panel in Photoshop is open. Any subsequent connections don't require this panel to be open.
If you're unable to see a device listed in the Device Preview dialog while connecting it, click Check For Devices.
You can swipe to navigate between different artboards and preview them on actual devices. For example, you can preview an iPhone artboard on an iPhone while simultaneously previewing a larger version of that artboard on an iPad, reducing the time required to test designs on multiple screens.
Preview CC automatically selects and displays the appropriate artboard based on the device screen size.
Preview CC works with Photoshop CC 2015, which is available as a free update for Creative Cloud members. You can download Photoshop CC 2015 as an update via the Creative Cloud desktop app. See this Help article to learn how to install or upgrade to Photoshop CC 2015.

Our Beliefs
"As a church, we exist to exalt God, to evangelize the lost, to educate and equip Christians in an atmosphere of love and encouragement." Which means we desire to build a close-knit family that will support one another as we serve and worship the One who created us.
The mission of the Church of the Nazarene is to make Christ-like disciples in the nations.
Agreed Statement of Belief
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true:
We believe in one God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
We believe that man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
We believe that the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
We believe that the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
We believe that believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
We believe that our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.

Anyway, for those wondering how I got sick. I spent my Labor Day weekend in Canada, but somehow the sudden drop in temperature when we reached Niagara Falls didn't agree with me. I came home sick as a dog and currently nursing a sinus infection. In my bedroom, I have a pile of nasty tissues on the floor, antibiotics and decongestants on my bed. I haven't had a decent sleep for the passed two nights because I'm coughing and feel so congested, but I'm hoping my new prescription today will help.
Please look forward to my upcoming posts about Ontario, Canada, but for now, I badly need a nap. I hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend.
