Goldendoodles are consistently among the most popular breeds in the United States! Only about two decades old, this breed is a mix of two other top breeds - the Golden Retriever and the Poodle - and comes in many different colors and sizes. Goldendoodles have the intelligence of a Poodle and the loveable, playful personality of a Golden Retriever. They are sometimes considered hypoallergenic because they often don't shed much (or at all), but because they are a mix of two breeds, their coats can vary greatly. Goldendoodles are very trainable, and make wonderful, devoted family pets. Read More

After I already purchased my amazing puppy from puppyspot, I did some more research (I should have done the research beforehand) and saw some not so great reviews about puppyspot. I also saw some negative articles from many years ago about puppy spot. However I also saw some amazing reviews about puppy spot. Well, I had a great experience. I purchased my mini golden doodle when he was 2 weeks old, and I had 6 weeks of waiting until I got to pick him up. Everything about the experience was very pleasant, including when I drove to Ohio to pick up my beautiful pup from the awesome breeder. Everything was amazing and I am beyond in love with my puppy Nico. The only reason I give this a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because I wish I was sent pictures more regularly during the 6 weeks while I was waiting for him! I wish I got updated pictures and videos every week but I only got pictures/videos 3 times over the 6 weeks. I also wish I had more access to talk to the breeder on a more regular basis. Other than that, everything about my experience was amazing and I thank puppyspot for connecting me to my incredible little guy.

We decided to get our first pup during this quarantine. We wanted him to come soon enough so we could enjoy him during the summer/school vacation. We checked around in our state (MA) there was no way we'd find a male, medium size Goldendoodle. So we came across PuppySpot and saw the perfect pup, Remington. The price was a little higher but we were willing to do so, because it would meet our requirements. From the start till the end, everyone in the PuppySpot team was very responsive and kept us informed in our puppy's growth. He came home, healthy, crate trained and absolutely loving! I absolutely recommend PuppySpot, there is not one day ever since his arrival that I regret getting him. Thanks PuppySpot for bringing my girls dream come true!

From start to finish we had a wonderful experience. Our puppy helpers were there whenever I had a question.

Effects of Elevation by Revolution Void
Album Description
File under: Electronic Breakbeat Jazz
From the All About Jazz review:
electronic breaks with jazz improvisation, Effects of Elevation is a
unique example of the interesection where modern jazz and modern
electronic music meet.
The release features guest musician Matthew Garrison on bass. Matt is known for his work with Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and others. Additionally, track 3 features vocal samples by Ill-esha, known for her work as both a DJ and vocalist.
All About Jazz writeup describes the remix, as well.
Citizen Prime's remix combines a house groove with piano and bass solos on top. The airtight 4-to-the-floor rhythm propels the song as it progresses through solos, breakdowns and builds.
The Sevenless remix incorporates IDM, glitch and industrial genres, while retaining a distinctive sound. The remix begins slowly, eventually building into epic proportions with a guitar-laden breakbeat chorus.
EP info:
Track 1 written and produced by Jonah Dempcy.
Track 2 written and produced by Scott Baggett.
Track 3 written and produced by Nicolas Manel.
Vocal sample on track 3 by Ill-esha.
Cover art and design by Yuriko Miyamoto.

Children of Ilúvatar
The Children of Ilúvatar also Híni Ilúvataro or Eruhíni[1][2] are the two races of Elves and Men. Their existence, along with the Universe in which they were to live, was conceived in the Music of the Ainur, but the Ainur had no part in their making. Ilúvatar alone brought them into being, and they had fëar (spirits) of the same type as the Ainur, though far less powerful.
Unlike the Ainur, however, the Children were intended to exist as a union of flesh and spirit; their bodies, or hröar, are as integral to their being as their fëar. As such, they are also called Incarnates.
While their status as embodied souls created by Ilùvatar makes them extraordinarily alike, each Kindred of the Children was also bestowed with different gifts from their maker. The Elves received great beauty, near immortality, skill with arts and crafts, and keen memories. Men, on the other hand, were given freedom to act outside the boundaries set by the Music of the Ainur, eventual supremacy over Middle-earth, and mortality.
Elves were the first of the Children of Ilúvatar to appear in Middle-earth; Men were not to follow until the rising of the Sun and the beginning of the First Age, many thousands of years later.
Both Kindreds awoke in the far east of Middle-earth: the Elves at Cuiviénen and Men in Hildórien.
The Dwarves, while also incarnates, are not typically called Children of Ilúvatar, for though they were given sapience and independent being by Eru, they were in fact created by Aulë. When Eru gave blessing to Aulë's work, he distinguished the Dwarves from Elves and Men by calling them "the children of my adoption" while referring to Elves and Men as "the children of my choice."
[edit] Parallels between Men and Elves
The history of Men and their races throughout the Ages, bore some similarities to that of the Elves, especially during the First Age.
Both Elves and Men originated somewhere in the East (Cuiviénen and Hildórien) and then both marched for the West (Eldar and Edain) leaving some of them behind (Avari and Men of Darkness).
They were divided mainly into three groups (Vanyar/Noldor/Teleri and House of Beor/House of Hador/House of Haleth) when they reached Beleriand.
Eventually some of them (Calaquendi and Númenóreans) passed the Great Sea and reached a western place (Valinor and Númenor). They advanced and prospered near the Light of Valinor while their kin were left behind in Middle-earth.
There, some were corrupted by the Enemy which caused a Fall (Noldolante and Atalante). A part of them returned to Middle-earth and founded realms (Exile of the Noldor and Realms in Exile) becoming Kings among their "lesser" kin.
[edit] Etymology
Eruhíni (sing. Eruhin) is the Quenya term. It contains the name Eru, the One (a name for Ilúvatar) and hín, 'child'.[3]

Eric has a post about The mad anti-feminist stance of the male atheist fringe. Guess what: he doesn't find the stance entirely impressive.
I have been following — at a distance — the dispiriting farrago of abuse and obscenity aimed at feminist atheists and their supporters. All the completely contemptuous remarks and stultifyingly offensive use of scatological and twatological language to try to get women freethinkers and sceptics to shut the fuck up. It's simply bizarre, and, from what I can tell, quickly becoming an obsession of a small marginal group of rather crude examples of the genus Homo who seem to think they have a right to use whatever insulting language they choose.
And not just a legal right, but a moral right, a political right, a social right. They seem to think they have every possible kind of right, and indeed duty.
Why do people think, just because you can throw insults at people from a distance, that it is an appropriate thing to do? And why do people think that addressing their often obscene remarks both at women freethinkers and at the men who support them is something that is within the pale of any movement, let alone one that is intended to shine the light of reason onto the human scene?
I don't know. I used to wonder, but I got tired of the futility, so I stopped.
One thing that does concern me about all this is that Michael Shermer seems to have lost the plot. He said something stupid. Ophelia Benson called him on it. But instead of simply saying, "Sorry," and left it at that, he just had to go into a long rigmarole – he couldn't help it, I guess — a male tic, apparently – that has a tendency to defend what he said, suggest that it was simply said as a matter of routine, because that's the way it was when, and then pillory Ophelia for calling him on it in the first place. It makes no sense to me.
It does to me. He's vain, for one thing, and a shallow thinker, for another. That's all really. His vanity was outraged because I, some upstart, dared to criticize something he said, and he didn't see my point because he didn't bother to try. Put the two together and you get the mess he made.
Let's get this quite straight, shall we? Women play as important a role in the freethought movement as men.
Damn right.

Fascinating new details are emerging on how the Prince Harry naked pics ended up being taken in the first place.
TMZ, which originally acquired the saucy snaps, says today in a blog entry that, "Harry's people dropped the ball."
The post goes on: "When the girls entered the room, we're told the ladies were NOT asked to surrender their phones ... an epic failure considering Harry's well-documented wild side. As the party fired up, several girls began to snap pics on their cell-phones ... and one of Harry's minders lackadaisically told the women, "Awww, come on .. no photos."
TMZ sources said Harry's minders were 'asleep at the wheel, enjoying the party more than protecting the Prince from himself...After more boozing, the clothes came off ... and more photos were taken, in plain view of the handlers, yet Harry's people did nothing.'TMZ spoke with several people in the Las Vegas VIP scene who tell us they see situations like this every day and it could have been easily contained, but as one source put it, "Harry's team acted like a bunch of amateurs.

Yes, he and I went to Catholic school together, K through 12 as they say now. I didn't see him again until I moved back to Jersey decades later and someone talked me into going to a HS reunion.
I do delete him from time to time when his lying gets too out of hand (if I deleted him every time he lied it would be pretty much every comment).
I leave his comments on a lot because he's such a perfect representation of the way the right's dittoheads parrot their masters. And because that represents more than just the Faux News syndrome, he also could be a stand in for Scalia and Alito, two immigrant culture boys who went through Catholic grammar and high schools (usually all boys for the latter as ours was) and were taught by the priests how to thwart reason and logic in order to defend the church's various illogical and unreasonable (as well as shifting [and "sifting" as I originally typed]) positions. It's emblematic of the larger problem as I see it.

FYI: deleting the troll the last few comments just to give us all a rest for a while from the selective "fact" choosing and lying labels ("socialist" Obama etc.). Bad enough we have to put up with it all over the media, where they choose to perpetuate rightwing lies and distortions in the name of "neutrality" (in the case of the major networks) and "balance" (in the case of no-such-thing Faux News et. al.) and allow corporate and individual billionaire money to hide behind phony front group names and propagate even more lies.

If Jim and O'Reilly and Beck and Rush and Rove and numberless others really knew what socialism is, they would know that Obama is N O T a socialist. He is a most conventional American politician, a pragmatist, and very much a centrist, though maybe just the slightest bit left-leaning (progressive).If we on the left actually expected more of him, well that was our mistake.
Mr. Obama was not my first choice for the nomination by the Democratic Party in 2008, but given the reluctance of the Democratic Party and most of the electorate to support anyone any further to the left than Obama, we might have ended up with McCain in the White House, and that would have meant more of Bushevism at its worst.

Here is a definition of socialism.

The government did not "take over" the auto industry any more than it did the medical system of the country. And "Obamacare" is another misnomer: the government does not run American medicine. What the so-called health care reform bill did was to require that everyone have/get health insurance. And from whom do we buy insurance? Not from the government. From insurance companies, of course. No socialism there, Jim.

An awesome day…
Another Dodger win and on My Town Taiwan Night, both Hong-Chih Kuo and Fu Te Ni both got in the game. The section on the reserved level was going bonkers.
John Ely was dealing again, even with a rough first inning he kept his composure and lasted six innings.
We'll try to keep it going tomorrow…hope you'll make it out for the series finale.
35 Comments
Nice game by Ely….please keep him Joe.
I just read on the Home Page that DeWitt may be sent down when Furcal comes back….because Green would have to clear waivers…..I don't care, GREEN doesn't belong, DEWITT does.
Pretty sure the Dodgers could withstand the crushing loss of Nick Green should he be sent down and be claimed on waivers. But what kind of a message would it send DeWitt, who in my opinion has had a great season so far, both offensively and defensively? Joe, put your blankie down, take your thumb out of your mouth, have a good scream–and have the courage to choose a kid over a warm, fuzzy PVL.
Great win tonight Dodgers!!!! I wasn't home to see it, but from what I read, very pleased indeed!!! ………..and you know these wins are so much nicer when you know the gnats have already lost. Maybe the Mariners can pull out this win against the Padres so we can be in first all by our lonesome………………then it can officially be ice cream time!!!
BTW – Don't do anything foolish by sending DeWitt down. He has done all that has been asked of him and more and has earned the right to stay. Very well put Kahli!!!
Josh – Any updates on our MVP, Mr. Ethier? I realize the Dodgers are doing great without him, but the Ethieraholics are becoming restless not seeing him in right field.
Nevermind Josh – I got my answer in the article about Furcal/DeWitt and Green. Andre is ahead of schedule! Great news!!!
I think trublu mean to say Torre keep him in the starting rotation lol. Oh geez just dropped Ortiz and I think he can clear waiver do we really need Green when we have Denker back in our organization?
Hey Nelly I don't know if you seen my other answer but it was King Felix back in 2008 victim of Wright error that extended the inning.
He hit that off of a former CY Johan Santana to.
lol how do we know is not Ned who choose these guy? Anyone who played as much as Dewitt I doubt Joe is the one to say anything about this person when it's Ned.
Shad ~ if you read the item on the home page, it sounds like Joe to me. I think it sucks!
Good morning ITD!
Well said Kahli!
I am doing a Torre today, playing my scrubs in my baseball fantasy team but I am winning 10-0 this week. Got a win with Ely! Someone dropped Edwin Encarnacion and I picked him up May 18th, since then he has hit 5 homeruns for me! I just got lucky!
Go Dodgers! I am taking my little broom that I took to Petco Park today!
OMG! I am so sad. I just heard Jose Lima passed away of a heart attack. He was just at the game on Friday I believe.
Rest in peace Jose Lima! We Dodger fans will never forgive you.
Hello All…That's so sad about Lima….Wow 37 yrs old….RIP….He was really good with the Dodgers
Really sorry to hear about Jose passing away. He was still such a young man. My prayers go out to his family & friends.
I got his autograph a couple of times and had the pleasure of just chatting with him a couple of times and he was always one of the nicest ballplayers I ever encountered. From my experiances we've lost a really great person.
Sigh dang why Jose Lima? Rip Jose Lima
I bet he could still outpitch Haeger and both Ortiz.
Wow check out this picture yahoo has of him.
Happy 37th Bday Ortiz but can we please drop him.
The "Jose Lima Game" in the 2004 NLDS is probably the greatest Dodgers game I've ever attended. Anybody who was there that day felt Chavez Ravine rock like it rarely has from the opening pitch pretty much all game long. After the game both my brother (leekfink) and I were interviewed for the late news. When my wife saw my interview, she felt much the same way that Drew Barrymore felt when she saw Jimmy Fallon interviewed at Red Sox spring training in "Fever Pitch".
Thanks for the memories, Jose. I would say RIP, but it doesn't seem quite right for Jose Lima. Instead I'll wish Jose continued enthusiasm in the afterlife.
Boy, how did the Rox get so lucky to be able to play the Royals? They are winning 10-4 in the 6th.
My prayers go out to the family of Jose Lima.
Sad to hear about Lima. What a fun guy.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing, Bear!
Just by the way Joe operates, I'll bet he sends DeWitt and Paul down. I'd love for him to prove me wrong.
lol let's be honest no team would probably picked up Anderson and DFA should've be an option released him is prefect.
I wonder why Torre doesn't used Weaver for 2 innings and do we really need to used Belisario? Belisario has pitch in 3 games the prior 4 LA games.
Because, JOE IS AN IDIOT!!!!
Go figure that would hurt big time.
Relisario VS. LEFT: .313 / .825 VS. RIGHT: .156 / .447 HOME: .095 / .335 AWAY: .296 / .774
That's a rare hit off of a right hand batter.
Just because we have an offday doesn't mean crap.
Gosh damn it. You could've had used Monsterious for that innings. Belisario just can't go 2 innings and Sherrill need to be on the phatom DL.
The worst thing Belisario ERA going to go up again and the good thing to Sherrill is that his ERA going to come down lol.
What do you think about the Dodgers pursuing Roy Oswalt? I think this could make us a legit contender to actually win a world series. We have great offense, especially once ethier gets back and we have been suprised by Ely, Kuroda, and Billingsley in the ways they have performed. If we aquired Oswalt, would't we dominate with two aces (O and Kershaw)? What are your thoughts?

Gajillion-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps stopped by Baltimore Ravens practice on Monday to motivate the players as the regular season nears.
"'Go get 'em!' that was basically his message," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He just talked about the last four years and what it takes to persevere like that, and he said, 'Go get 'em.' .. He had a great message for us, and we appreciate that."
Phelps retired from swimming competition after breaking the all-time Olympic medal record in London. He's 27, is 6-foot-4 and has the reach of a 6-foot-8 man, and is known for his speed. Perhaps this "visit" was just a ruse to start working Phelps out at wide receiver?

Burlington fire out except for few hot spots
300 employees out of work
A fire at a family-owned food processing plant in Burlington raised eight alarms and brought firefighters from two states to fight the blaze.
The fire started about 6:05 p.m. Wednesday at Echo Lake Foods on Honey Lake Road north of the downtown area.
Burlington Mayor Robert Miller said Thursday afternoon that the fire was out except for a few hot spots.
Miller said the fire began in a production area of the plant. City fire crews discovered a significant fire and immediately called for mutual aid.
He also said the plant has been expanded a few times, leading to a "honeycomb" of additions that presents a challenge to firefighters.
"It's been a terrible fire to get at because of where the fire started at," Miller said. "70,000 square feet and it has been added on to over the years, so it is a honeycomb so to speak."
Miller said concerns over leaking ammonia and liquid oxygen tanks were a particular concern for crews, but Miller said all employees were able to evacuate the plant without injury.
News Chopper 12's Matt Salemme said Wednesday that the plume of smoke reached high into the sky and flames were leaping high into the air in the first few hours of the fire. Salemme said the flames were located at the center of the factory complex.
Returning to the scene in News Chopper 12 Thursday morning, Salemme said the visible fire had diminished and the winds were a bit lighter, but crews were still battling the fire at that time.
Burlington Mayor Robert Miller told WISN 12 News that about 50 people in the area -- 10 homes and one apartment building -- were evacuated as a precaution because of the chemicals in the plant and the heavy smoke, but no further evacuations were expected.
The American Red Cross said they assisted 19 people with housing overnight.
Firefighters from 88 different departments have responded to the scene, and the Racine County HazMat unit is on scene monitoring air quality.
Miller said at a 5 a.m. news briefing that no employees or firefighters have been injured in the fire.
WISN 12 News reporter Christina Palladino talked to people who were wearing masks Wednesday night because smoke and fumes had filled the air.
A few people have walked into Aurora Memorial Hospital of Burlington with smoke inhalation, a hospital spokesman said.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, Miller said.
Echo Lake Foods makes egg products and breakfast foods and is the third-biggest employer in Burlington with more than 300 employees. Miller said the fire will certainly have an impact on the city of just over 10,000.
"It will have an impact. I can't say at this time how much of an impact," he said. "It's 300 people without jobs, 300 less people spending money. We are working with the employer and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to help get this plant back online."
The mayor said about two million gallons of city water were used to fight the fire, along with at least a half million more gallons from Echo Lake.
The investigation is now beginning. City officials said there is no damage estimate yet. The state Fire Marshal's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will assist in the investigation.
Miller thanked local people and restaurants for providing food to the firefighters.

The No. 15/14 Penn State Lady Lions (11-4, 2-1 Big Ten) tied the school record with 14 blocks on the day, but it was not enough as the Lions dropped an 84-74 decision to No. 20/21 Purdue (11-4, 1-2). The loss was also Penn State's first to a Big Ten team at home since Jan. 7, 2012 (Michigan State).
Maggie Lucas (Narberth, Pa.) scored her 17 points thanks in part to two treys. The senior guard added seven rebounds, an assist and a steal to complete her afternoon. Fellow senior Dara Taylor (Wilmington, Del.) totaled 13 points and led the squad with six assists, while Ariel Edwards (Elmont, N.Y.) tallied 12 points to go along with six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal.
Senior Talia East (Philadelphia, Pa.) turned in one of the most impressive stat lines of the game for Penn State, totaling 10 rebounds, nine points and a career-high seven blocks. The seven rejections tie her career high set against South Carolina during sophomore season and are just one shy of tying the Lady Lion record for blocks in a game.
The Lady Lions came out of the gate fired up for their first Big Ten home game of the season, scoring the first seven points of the contest. Taylor scored Penn State's first five points, knocking down a midrange baseline jumper and a shot from beyond the arc to open up the scoring. East capped the great start with a layup just two and a half minutes into the game.
After the opening Lady Lion flurry, Purdue battled back into the game and grabbed its first lead of the game with 10:18 left in the first off a layup from Whitney Bays to put the Boilermakers up 19-18, outscoring Penn State 19-11 in the stretch. Lucas scored seven of the team's 11 points for Penn State with a four-point play followed by another trey on back-to-back possessions.
The two sides traded buckets for the next six minutes of play, with each team scoring 17 points apiece, moving the score to 36-35 with just over four minutes left in the first frame. The Lady Lions' bench provided much of the offensive production over the stretch, as the trio of Candice Agee (Victorville, Calif.), Kaliyah Mitchell (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and Alex Harris (Lorain, Ohio) combined to score 13 of the team's 17 points. Purdue took over in the final four minutes of the half, outscoring Penn State 10-2 in the run to take a 46-37 lead into the halftime break.
The Boilermakers began the second half just as they had finished the first, growing their lead to as many as 15 points at 60-45 with less than 13 minutes to play. The Lions showed its resiliency by battling back and trimming the visitor's lead down to just six points over the next four minutes of action by reeling off 15 of the 21 points scored in the spurt to bring the score to 66-60. East powered the surge, scoring seven points off of three layups and a free throw.
Purdue's Liza Clemons hit a jumper to temporarily slow the Lady Lions' charge and increase its lead back to eight. After the Boilermaker bucket Penn State made another run, scoring the next six points from a Taylor jumper and four free throws to make it a one possession game at 68-66 at the seven-minute mark.
Despite the rally, Purdue managed to weather the Penn State comeback, scoring six unanswered points to push its lead back to eight at 74-66 with 3:42 remaining. The Boilermakers managed to keep the Lady Lions at bay for the remainder of the game and came away with a win by a final of 84-74.
GAME NOTES: Dara Taylor reached her 400-point mark for her Penn State career with 13 points ... Penn State tied the school record with 14 team blocks today, tying the mark set against Boston University (1/22/82) and Delaware (2/15/80) ... Talia East tied her career high with seven blocked shots, equaling the mark set at South Carolina (11/23/11) ... The seven blocks are the third-highest single-game total in school history, which has occurred 10 times ... With her 80 career blocked shots, she passed Tyra Grant (75; 2007-10) for 14th place on Penn State's career rejections list ... the 14th highest Lady Lion in career blocks ... With six field goals made, Maggie Lucas passes Tyra Grant (685; 2007-10) for eighth on the Lady Lion career field goals made chart with 688 ... The loss to Purdue marks the first Big Ten home loss for the Lions since Jan. 7, 2012 against Michigan State, a string of 14 games ... Purdue now leads the series 27-17.

This Forum has been archivedVisit the new Forums
| Forums: Index → Narutopedia Announcements
Narutopedia Discussion → Image Warning
I've setup three new templates and now with the new greeting system I think it would be a good idea to make use of them. The three templates are ImageWarn, {{subst:ImageRevert}}, and {{subst:ImageDelete}}, the latter of course doesn't have much use for anyone besides wiki sysops.
These are warning templates.
The first one warns a user that an image they uploaded has been tagged for deletion (Using templates like {{No license}}, {{No rationale}}, {{Leafninja image}}, {{Poor quality}}, and {{Poor filename}}). It can be used simply by throwing ImageWarn onto the bottom of the user's talkpage. I recommend that any user tagging new images with tags for missing info also throw one of these on the user's talkpage for at least one of the image. This might make more users' realize they should be tagging their image and are just causing more work for other editors.
The second one tells a user that the image they overwrote was reverted. This should be placed on the user's talkpage when they overwrite an image with a new one. It tells them about the image policy and notes both that we don't permit overwriting images, and what to do instead. It can be used simply by throwing {{subst:ImageRevert|<ImageName.ext>}} onto the end of the user's talkpage.
And the final one will probably only have use the three sysops. It notifies the user that their image was deleted and points them to the policy page. This one should be used when we delete images right away for the various policy pieces that provoke immediate deletion (spam, fancruft, .gif extensions, etc...).
The section headers are included inside the templates so you just have to hit edit, and subst them into the bottom of the page with the image name, the template will handle the rest.
I hope this might improve the current situation with the piles of deletion tagged images. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 19, 2009 @ 17:34 (UTC)
- Hmm, Seems like an excellent idea, okay, so, when will this be posted? -- Rasengan888 (talk)(Narutopedia Editor) 18:34, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Already is. The templates are up, and their already being used to annoy anyone who doesn't follow the image policy when they upload ^_^ heh.
- Extra note. Don't sign the warnings. Signatures are integrated into the templates and it has a {{-}} at the end to avoid images going over other headers. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Mar 19, 2009 @ 19:42 (UTC)
I think that is a great idea, though, how about if the users keep on perusing or keep on uploading images that is already tagged for deletion? Tsujiraoro07
- I normally give them a personal warning as I used to when I saw users who uploaded a half dozen troublesome images at a time, and if they continue to persist despite warnings, block. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Apr 6, 2009 @ 06:16 (UTC)
Now I am illuminated.... what a great idea!! Tsujiraoro07

Travelling all over the world nourishes me with discoveries. Diversity is the richness that comes from such wanderings. And yet, in certain ways, the places where people live their lives all seem to follow the same rhythm. No matter the geographic location, no matter the culture, there are always meeting points where the barriers of solitude are broken down. Places for rambling, for celebrating or for dreaming, like guiding beacons drawing us to their light. Sparkling and seductive, the neon lights call out in every language to join the life of the community, to share. Their glow brightens the darkest corners and beautifies the eyes with a tangy multicoloured brilliance.
Nicholas Degennes
It mutes the volumes and makes the materials come alive. Like veins of light, pulsing with a unifying electrified energy that sweeps away all inertia, the neon colours resonate and amplify each other, stirring up a rebellious atmosphere in a world that knows no inhibition. Bridging the gap between day and night, neon is the vital force of summer 2011. A season that's a call to enjoyment, to enjoy greater freedom. And we dare to answer that call, fearing no other consequence than a moment of happiness… to be shared.
Happy new Acid Summer!
This newcomer joins the Interdit family, which already includes Rouge Interdit, Rouge Interdit Shine and Gloss Interdit. A colourful, sparkling transparency in a balm with multiple beneficial properties: Immediately upon application, moi s tur i s ing and replumping properties through microspheres of hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally present in the skin). Taking action instantly, they slip into the fine lines on the lips and, like tiny sponges, fill up with water from the skin's surface, trapping it and swelling to smooth the lips.
Over the longer term, revitalising and smoothing properties through the action of a botanical extract that stimulates cellular renewal in the epidermis to help prevent the accumulation of dead cells. Hydration is boosted by camelina oil, an ingredient found in all products of the Interdit line, to give the lips a final touch of comfort. For the first time, the clear formula that allows the pigments to shine through is wax-free. Its non-sticky texture offers an all-new sensation on the lips: the feel of a balm with a delicate scent of lychee.
Of the 13 different shades* of the Gelee d'Interdit line, three vivid, tangy colours were chosen by Nicolas Degennes to echo the concept of ACID SUMMER. The vibrant, feminine fuchsia of Explosive Raspberry; the magnetic, voluptuous violet of Electric Purple; and tart, luminous Neon Orange.
It's a veritable revolution in material — or more precisely in non-material. It's life in suspension in an ethereal fluid. Three different kinds of microbeads trapped in a gel texture with a high water content. Brown and light yellow microbeads containing pigments and illuminating pearlescent particles. Dark yellow microbeads saturated with vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. Diluted by the gel, the microbeads are instantly diffused on the skin by the fingertips, for a transparency of material and a genuine sensation of freshness. The result is an instant healthy glow, buildable depending on the desired result.
LE PRISMISSIME YEUX (Limited Edition)
Turquoise Blues, Anise Green, Golden Yellow, Coral Orange, Mauvish Pink, Frappe Coffee, Sparkling White
With its orange colour, the unique packaging highlights the acidic character of an eccentric, varying intensity palette. Like a mirror ball for the third millennium, its textures, matte or glittery, enliven the eyes with a hypnotic "electrical field". Offering interplays of layers or contrasts, it lends itself to all desires and flights of fancy. Like the reflections of a neon tube, the palette of Le Prismissime Yeux comprises shades that look sharp and vibrant in the case, but produce a softened result on the skin. Spherical polymers and micronised pigments make the colour easy to smooth onto the eyelids, while three esters with emollient properties ensure long hold.
ACID BLUE PHENOMEN'EYES WATERPROOF (Limited Edition)
ACID ORANGE VERNIS PLEASE! (Limited Edition)
Apparently some of the items from the Givenchy Acid Summer Collection For 2011 have arrived in Singapore but I have no further details when this collection will launch.
[UPDATED 23 June 2011: Givenchy Acid Summer Collection is available at BHG Bugis]
See anything you can't live without?

Volunteer Promotes Health and Safety in Ghanaian Schools
Back in February this year UK staff members Harry Kent and Andrew Fryer attended the British Safety Council health and safety course in London. On the day they met with Madeleine Wright who was due to jet off to Ghana on a Care placement with Projects Abroad at the end of the month.
Madeleine was impressed with what the course had to offer and was motivated to use what she had learned on her Care project out in Ghana.
Following a recent visit to Ghana by International Development Officer, Andrew Fryer we have an update on Madeleine's progress.
Madeleine has been working at Voice Preparatory school and care home in Koforidua in the Eastern Region of Ghana. During a meeting with Andrew she explained what she has been up to.
"Implementing the health and safety course has been very successful at the school I'm currently at. The headmistress is very positive about it - there was a gap in the timetable so it was added as a lesson which has meant I've been able to do something different each week. She also wants the children to have a big parade around the estate where the school is to promote health and safety! The kids really love it as well because it's something different for them than their usual lessons."
On the course we learned about safety at work and how we could educate children around the world on health and safety issues affecting them. The idea was to provide educational materials and interactive workshops that would make learning about health and safety issues both fun and informative. Madeleine tells us how she has been doing this.
"I designed a workbook for the lessons, and different posters for them to write on and color in and we put them up on the walls and they really love them! We did a hazard spotting exercise around the school as well which they were pretty excited about! The children have designed fire safety posters, drawn hazards, made rules to help keep each other safe. I managed to teach a Healthy Living module in their science lessons as well which I have been able to link with health and safety"
Projects Abroad have linked up with the British Safety Council who are offering free health and safety courses to volunteers traveling to the developing world. This is a great opportunity to improve your knowledge of health and safety, as well as the chance to follow in Madeleine's footsteps by teaching the course overseas.

Setting up multiwfn
Download the precompiled Multiwfn binaries here: https://multiwfn.codeplex.com/
Extract the binary and the copy the directory to .e.g /opt
$ ls /opt/Multiwfn_3.3.9_bin_Linux/ examples Multiwfn settings.ini
Edit your ~/.bashrc and add:
export KMP_STACKSIZE=64000000 export Multiwfnpath=/opt/Multiwfn_3.3.9_bin_Linux
When I hit 0 to visualize something, the plot screen is empty. Check/uncheck a box in the window and the plot will show.
Generating wfx files in gaussian:
If you've already run a job that has generated a .chk file, then run a simple quick job like this:
%nprocshared=2 %mem=500Mb %chk=test.chk #P chkbasis geom=allcheck guess=(check,only) output=wfx pop=(none) test.wfx
To analyse the .wfx file using multiwfn, look at the examples in the manual: https://www.codeplex.com/Download?ProjectName=multiwfn&DownloadId=1607667
The strength of multiwfn is that it can do a LOT. That's also its weakness, in the sense that the menu options are a bit overwhelming. Following the examples in the manual is probably mandatory.

October 22, 2015 - STAMFORD, Conn. and LUCCA, Italy
Global Appliance Manufacturer Teka Group Unifies Finance and Operational Performance
CFO Johan van der Werf details Teka's Performance Management program in Tagetik's upcoming Progressive CFO webinar
Tagetik, a visionary leader in global performance management software solutions, will host the webinar, "The Challenge of Unifying Financial and Operational Performance," the fifth presentation in Tagetik's popular Progressive CFO monthly series on Thursday, October 29 at 9.00 am EDT / 2.00 pm CET. Teo Griffioen, director of KPMG and member of KPMG's Global Center of Excellence for Enterprise Performance Management, will interview Teka CFO Johan van der Werf on the company's initiative to improve and consolidate financial processes and implement performance management processes throughout the global enterprise.
During the 30-minute, complimentary presentation, van der Werf and Griffioen will discuss the business challenges underlying the Teka Performance Management program, the steps taken over three years to introduce and implement changes, how the new processes have added value at the business unit and corporate levels, and the role of the CFO throughout the transformation.
"In 2014, we started the Teka Performance Management Project, with the objective of bringing greater insight and transparency to decisions related to the company's direction and to monitor the progress of the newly implemented strategy at the Teka Group. In centralizing the company's finance function, we also wanted to bring greater speed and accuracy to reporting and a single source of truth. We also needed to create, implement and effectively manage KPIs at all levels of the organization," said van der Werf. "I look forward to sharing details of our journey and how technology has helped us achieve our objectives."

Falchuk is one of the creators of Glee; he is best known for his work on the television shows Nip/Tuck and Glee.
Personal Life
Falchuk grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, where he attended Beaver Country Day School. He has a sister named Aimee,[1] and a brother named Evan.[2] Falchuk was married to producer Suzanne Bukinik and they have two children together.[3]
Falchuk was reportedly (as of August 2014) in a relationship with Glee's recurring guest star Gwyneth Paltrow[4]; it was confirmed when the couple announced their engagement on January 8, 2018.[5] The couple married in September 2018.[6]
In high school, he tried to stand out from his classmates by wearing a tie to school each day and declaring himself a Republican. He said, "I was always trying to look smart because I didn't feel smart"; he actually suffered from undiagnosed dyslexia. In high school, he played baseball, basketball and lacrosse. He later attended the American Film Institute. He also graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1993.
As Nip/Tuck neared its sixth and final season, Falchuk and Ryan Murphy began to look for their next project and decided to focus on a lighter subject. They teamed up with Ian Brennan, who had written a screenplay about high school show choirs, to pitch a one-hour comedy about a glee club to the network, FOX. Their pitch was successful and turned into the television show Glee, which premiered in 2009.

For those of you who do not know Malus Darkblade, I will tell you that he is a Dark Elf Noble of evil renown in the Warhammer Fantasy world. Malus was possessed by a Daemon called Tz'arkan. His quest to rid himself of this Daemon is legendary. At one point he succeeded although it cost him his own soul. It took many years after that to track down the Daemon again and win his soul back, only to have Tz'arkan imprisoned inside him again.
When leading his armies to war, Malus rides his famous Cold One steed called Spite and wields the fearsome Warpsword of Khaine. He is a very dark character; he can summon Tz'arkan and allow him to control his own actions to become more powerful. This is great risk though, as while possessed by Tz'arkan he can attack his own troops as well as enemies.
The darkness of Malus inspired me in one of my darkest times to paint in cold and deadly colours, reflecting my mood at that moment. I want to thank all of my friends for their support, specially Elias Alonso (Morsi) for all his help and for collaborating on this figure.
I hope you like it, and as always, comments are very welcome!

Watch Alan King Start His Set at Chosen Few Picnic 2013
Alan is one of Chicago's original house music DJs and one of the early members of the legendary DJ crew "The Chosen Few." Alan's profound influence on the house music landscape has been felt for more than 30 years, and he has been cited as a major influence by countless DJs and producers including Frankie Knuckles, Steve "Silk" Hurley and Chip E. In a 2007 interview discussing his move from New York back to Chicago, Grammy Award winning DJ and producer Frankie Knuckles observed: "One of the best things about returning to Chicago is catching up with some of the home-grown talent. I like to hear the spin that some of them put on house music - that's what sparks me. The brilliant Andre Hatchett is the perfect example. He is one of two guys in Chicago who have the biggest impact on me. The other is Alan King. They are the truest to the house music form, yet there is soul, personality and individuality in what they're doing. They're the real thing."
In the late '70s and early '80s, the Chosen Few DJs (then consisting of Wayne Williams, Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, Alan King and Andre Hatchett) were among the Chicago DJs primarily responsible for spreading the soulful brand of dance music that came to be known as "House Music" at legendary Chicago night spots, including First Impressions, Sauer's, the Playground, and the Loft, a club of historic importance in the birth and development of House Music. Still together more than 30 years later and with the addition of their newest members, legendary DJ and producer Terry Hunter and Chicago house music icon Mike Dunn, the Chicago DJs bring you the annual Chosen Few Old School Reunion Picnic every July in Chicago, one of the largest house music festival events in the world.
Alan regularly plays to rave reviews at clubs and events throughout Chicago and nationally, including Bang Sundays at The Shrine in Chicago, New York's Sullivan Room and the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Alan recently wrapped up a three-year monthly residency at Lounge 52 in Chicago, and his wildly popular Podcasts routinely top the rankings of house music podcasts on Podomatic.com.
In 2012, Alan was commissioned by L.A.'s Hidden Beach Records to create a promotional "Mixtape" and write the liner notes for a new release, "CRATES: Remix Fundamentals Volume I," a collection of dance remixes of songs by Grammy Award winner Jill Scott. In 2013, Alan again authored liner notes for Terry Hunter's mix compilation, Bang, on BBE Records. Alan has also been featured in numerous articles and films about house music, including Chip's E's acclaimed documentary "The Unusual Suspects: Once Upon a Time in House Music." Alan and the rest of the Chosen Few DJs were featured in the June 2012 issue of Ebony magazine and were recently recognized at a celebration honoring the 100 Most Influential DJs in Chicago House Music History. In July 2012, Alan was profiled in Crain's Chicago Business for his "double life" as a law firm partner and groundbreaking DJ.

Why Choose Beach Weddings and Receptions in Zihuatanejo, MexicoJune 9th, 2011
Mexico beach weddings are one of the top choices for destination weddings in the tropics. Destination weddings, which allow you and your guests to take in the local sights and sounds for your big day, are a hot trend in the marriage market right now. Part honeymoon and part traditional ceremony, these types of weddings are a great way to unite family and friends in a location you might not otherwise get to enjoy together.
Whether you've always dreamed of getting married against a beachfront sunset, or if you have dreams of your own private Mexico vacation villa as a honeymoon destination, a wedding in the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa region is an event you and your guests will never forget. Here are just a few of the benefits to a destination wedding in an area like ours:
Get the Complete Package: These days, planning a wedding can take up to a year of your time, including consultations, shopping, cake tastings, and all the stress that comes with organizing an event with hundreds of guests. A Mexico beach wedding is designed to do the exact opposite—with everything from catering and spa services right here, all you have to do is show up and spend your time relaxing on the beach. Let us take care of the rest.
Keep Things Select: When you plan a tropical destination wedding, your guest list becomes a whole lot easier to make. Almost everyone understands that a wedding ceremony like this is meant to be small and private, usually held just for a handful of close friends and family members. Having a ceremony here means you can avoid all the complications of extended relatives and plus one invitations.
Save Money: It might seem counter-intuitive, but hosting your nuptials in this part of Mexico can actually save you money on the wedding plans. In addition to a smaller guest list, you'll find that accommodations (even for large parties) are relatively low-cost. And because you can find a site like ours, where the small town setting and beachfront community provide low-key entertainment every day of the week, additional expenses can be kept to a minimum. In most cases, family and friends expect to cover their own airfare, as well, which can help keep your wedding budget in check.
A Mexico Honeymoon Villa Awaits: Of course, one of the best reasons to have a wedding in this region is that you are already in place for the honeymoon of your dreams. From high-end shopping and spa services in Ixtapa to a quiet beach setting right here in Troncones, you've already set the scene for a honeymoon as full of adventure or solitude as you want. You can even plan on staying a few days (or weeks) after your family has departed for some much-needed alone time.
Mexico Beach Weddings the Casa de la Sirena Way
Casa de la Sirena is the perfect place to have your Mexico beach wedding. Because we can accommodate parties of up to 75 (and as few as just you and your spouse-to-be), you can customize a wedding package as unique as you are.
For a destination wedding in one of the best locations in the world, look no further than the Troncones and Zihuatanejo region. We have the beauty, the amenities, and the ambiance…all you need to bring is the bride!

When FC Dallas took the long trip to Vancouver on August 15, they sat 10 points behind LA and 11 points behind the Whitecaps in the race for the final playoffs in the Western Conference.
Fast forward a month, and what looked like an insurmountable deficit has thinned to the smallest of margins. After beating Vancouver 1-0 on Julian de Guzman's 96th-minute winner on Saturday night, FCD are now just a single point behind the Whitecaps for the final spot.
"In preseason, we talked about getting into the playoffs and giving ourselves a chance to win a championship, that's what it's about," forward Scott Sealy said after the match. "This is definitely a step in the right direction, a team that's ahead of us by four points, being able to cut it down to one point and hopefully riding that momentum until the end of the season."
Indeed, FC Dallas' playoff hopes were 30 seconds from being all but extinguished. With Vancouver having five games remaining to Dallas' four, anything but a win for FCD would have had the Frisco club beginning to set their sights on 2013. That only seemed to add to the drama of de Guzman's late equalizer.
"It's huge for the team to get those three points in that way to bring us closer to the playoff race," defender Matt Hedges told reporters after the win. "I think we finally are getting the bounces go our way and it's a good time for that to happen here at the end."
Further adding to the drama was the multitude of missed chances by both sides throughout the evening. For FC Dallas, a 1st half penalty kick miss by David Ferreira, coupled with a late goal by Blas Pérez called back for offside had Schellas Hyndman & Co. wondering if this night would be a microcosm of their season.
"To still be in the position with four games left to challenge for the playoffs is something that we're still pretty proud of and pretty excited about," goalkeeper Kevin Hartman said. "We've overcome a lot of difficulties including tonight. We missed a PK, and scored a goal that was pulled back so it was really, really difficult. But at the end of the day we got the result we deserved."
The fact remains Vancouver are still in the driver's seat with four straight home games upcoming. All Dallas can hope for now is a further slide from the Canadians — who have lost five in a row — and continued good form on their own part. FC Dallas have the next matchday off, not returning to action until September 29 at San Jose. It won't be an easy match against the current Supporters' Shield leaders.
But after clawing their way back from an 11 point deficit in just over a month, they will have everything to play for. And by then they'll know just what kind of impact Saturday's win over Vancouver had, as the Whitecaps will make up that game in hand next weekend.
"As an entire team, moments like this when it starts to wind down in the hunt for the playoffs can be a big difference maker and a turning point," de Guzman said on Saturday night. "I think this could be a big turning point for us. And for Vancouver. And this is what we wanted."
