ROMA have entered the battle with Manchester United and Chelsea to sign Inter striker Mauro Icardi, according to reports.
Inter are desperate to keep Icardi, 23, and manager Roberto Mancini made him his club captain at the start of the season.
United are understood to be eyeing a deal for the Argentine, while Chelsea's interest stems from incoming manager Antonio Conte being a fan.
Icardi himself has admitted he could leave the San Siro this summer.
Roma would likely need to qualify for the Champions League to persuade Icardi to join them.
They currently sit third in Serie A, a comfortable seven points off fourth-place Inter.
Roma's sporting director Walter Sabatini - who Express Sport understand has been approached to join Chelsea with Conte this summer - is said to be plotting the transfer.
But the Blues themselves cannot offer Champions League football, with United therefore more likely to sign Icardi as they push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

On August 24, 2013, Angelo started life as a newborn found in a ditch with his brother and was taken to a rescue to be bottle fed by kind fosters. At first, they thought he was a little girl, so they named him Angelina but soon realized their mistake and changed his name to Angelo. His brother didn't make it, but Angelo survived and slowly grew stronger. He remained in foster care as the rescue considered him to be a special kitty.
Apparently, his male part is very small, and he would need to be on wet food only, to avoid any urinary issues. (That's why they thought he was a girl at first) They wanted to make sure anyone who adopted him would understand this. So he remained with a foster for the first six months of his life. That's when I saw him on Angel of Hope's website. He reminded me so much of my dear departed Merlin, that my heart just went out to him. I asked about him and they said I could come to a PetSmart adoption event and they would bring him there. At the time, I already had my little Ragdoll Nicolai who really needed a friend to play with as my senior kitty wasn't much interested in playing.
When I saw Angelo in person and held him, he just relaxed in my arms and seemed very calm and easy going. Just the right sort of personality that would fit into my home. I carried him around for quite a while but went home without him that day as I really wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing in bringing in another kitten. I didn't want to stress out my senior cat. She was my priority.
I kept looking at Angelo's picture every day after meeting with him and realized I couldn't stand it if someone else were to adopt him. I contacted the rescue and said I would take him. They brought him back to the PetSmart the following Saturday and I brought him home. I liked the name of Angelo that they had given him so ended up just keeping that name for him. Easiest cat I ever had to name.
Trying to do the right thing and slowly introduce him to my cats, I set Angelo up in the bathroom. After about an hour of listening to him cry in the bathroom, I couldn't stand it any longer and I let him out. After a few hisses all around, Angelo and Nicolai soon became friends. So much for trying to do the slow introductions but then kittens are so easy. My senior cat Minx just ignored him so that worked out fine there too. (She has since passed on in 2014).
Fast forward five years and Angelo and Nicolai are good friends and still love to tear through the house in high energy chases. They also get some supervised outside time. Nicolai must be on his harness or he will explore too far, but Angelo is more of a scardy cat so he sticks around pretty close so that makes it easier. Towards the end of Summer Angelo does get a little braver and that is when the harness goes on, but a good shake of the treat bag gets both running back inside whenever I need them to come in.
Even though Nicolai is the Ragdoll, Angelo is more of the "floppycat". He loves to be held and snuggle and he really does flop in my arms. My departed Merlin, also a tuxedo, was the same so Angelo, even though a very different personality, is still a lot like Merlin in other ways.
I kept my promise to feed Angelo wet food and they both get Fancy Feast canned food, along with some other grain free wet foods like Taste of the Wild for variety. I do give them just a handful of grain free dry food (PureVita, Acana, and/or Orijen) that they think is a treat more than food. I put some of the dry food in a treat ball and that helps keep the cats entertained while trying to get at it. And they love it when I scatter pieces of the dry food throughout the house for them to "hunt". The main food, though, is the wet food and I have noticed that there are no hairballs despite all the hair and the litter box is definitely easier to keep clean with less waste.
I love that every night my kitties come to sleep with me. Angelo finds his place pressed against my back and it is so comforting to feel him there. Nicolai chooses the foot of the bed but I love his greeting every morning with a gentle paw on my face. Such sweet kitties. They both bring smiles to my face every day. You can check out Nicolai's story in his own "Ragdoll of the Week".
Sounds like Angelo and Nicolai have The Best Life Ever with a very loving human companion who spoils them rotten! Wishing you all many more years of good health, love, happiness and purry adventures together!!!
You had me at "Angelo". What a doll face! So glad you rescued him and that he has a soul mate, Nicolai. They are both beauties. Enjoy your little fur babies and thanks so much for sharing your story and providing such cute photos.
Thank you for such kind words. They both bring me such joy every day.
thanks so much for your wonderful story and bless you for saving that precious soul! he is so beautiful, he looks so much like a cat that used to visit me where i lived before. he had a home but he was at my house all the time. i really miss him. cats bring us so much joy, i can't imagine life without them.
I do so love those tuxedoes so when Anglo showed up, how could I resist. He is such a little love. Cats do bring so much joy.

Home Editorial RSN Pick of the Day The Reason Why Obama Really Wants To Close Gitmo
The Reason Why Obama Really Wants To Close Gitmo
It Is Not Because He Wants To Make The Nation Safer
By Col. Tom Snodgrass (Ret.), Right Side News
Background History To The Democrat Party's Partisan Opposition To Gitmo Has Crippling National Security Implications
Democrat politicians' opposition to vigorously combating and shutting down Islamic jihadists actually preceded 9/11. Beginning in Korea, it can be traced to vapid Democrat national security concepts formulated during the Cold War. As the Cold War progressed, Democrats became increasingly ambivalent about pursuing a winning strategy in warfare.
Part of the Democrats' hesitancy to aggressively fight war was born of their fear of "provoking the enemy" and escalating the conflict to the point that existential war would become too politically risky. The political risk Democrats feared most was that energetic warfare would cause negative domestic public opinion and reaction. The crux of Democrat fear was that such domestic political discontent would eventually result in their electoral defeat.
The other part of the Democrat ambivalence to protect U.S. national interests through dynamic war strategy was born of liberalism's fundamental depreciation of American culture and the resulting belief that America's enemies have legitimate grievances that can and should be appeased, thus they believe in appeasement as a means of avoiding or shortening war. Consequently, Democrats, as a political party, historically have discounted or minimized foreign totalitarian threats, while sympathizing with foreign opposition to U.S. armed presence, interests, and influence abroad. "Blame America first" became the watchwords of the Democrat Party.
And as a result of Democrats' reticence in war, Lyndon Johnson's bloody fingerprints are all over the Vietnam Memorial Wall in the form of the 58,000+ names of U.S. servicemen who perished pursuing Johnson's foolish, craven Vietnam strategy that squandered their lives in his nonsensical "no-win" war plan. Next, Jimmy Carter's less bloody, but no less foolish and craven post-Vietnam strategy, which invited Iranian and Soviet aggression, is also resoundingly condemned by responsible, knowledgeable international observers and historians.
However, it was during the Bill Clinton presidency in the 1990's that the Democrat national security concept hit its nadir by taking on the despicable approach that shamefully continues under Barack Obama to this day.
This disgraceful Clinton-Obama approach is to pretend that Islamic jihad is not real, and furthermore the murderous Islamic attacks do not actually constitute war requiring a U.S. warfare footing and strategy, but instead the hostile attacks are gang-type criminal activities that can be fought piece-meal and the perpetrators should be prosecuted in the U.S. federal court system.
Clinton established the template that fighting Islamic jihad is a police problem rather than a war, so as not to alert citizens of the real danger of the Democrat dereliction of their national security responsibilities.
As a result of this Democrat "strategy of dereliction," Clinton purposely shut his eyes to Islamic terror attacks on the United States at home and abroad. Beginning one month after Clinton took office in February 1993, the al Qaeda organization struck the World Trade Center (WTC) for the first time with a truck bomb. The attack was masterminded by the Egyptian "Blind Sheik," Omar Abdel-Rahman, and was carried out by an Iraqi intelligence operative, Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, plus six Palestinian and Egyptian co-conspirators. The attack failed to bring down the WTC as intended, but instead the bomb created a crater six stories deep, killing six people, and injuring over a thousand. Furthermore, Clinton set the feckless tone of his presidency toward the Islamic jihad menace by never visiting the WTC bomb site or the wounded victims, while warning the U.S. public against "over-reaction" to Islamic jihad!
From that moral low point, Clinton's "willful blindness" only got worse. That same year in October 1993, eighteen U.S. servicemen on a humanitarian hunger-relief mission were killed fighting their way out of an ambush by a Somali Muslim warlord. Additionally, another 80 U.S. military members were wounded in this Somali action, but Clinton immediately withdrew the remaining U.S. soldiers with no military response or reprisal! After the WTC-bombing and the Somali "Blackhawk down" shameful refusals to face and respond to Muslim provocations, the Islamic jihadist attacks on Americans and American facilities during Clinton's administration became a litany of unanswered deadly aggressions: five Americans killed by a car bomb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, November 1995; nineteen U.S. Air Force airmen killed and more than 300 wounded by a truck bomb at Khobar Towers, Saudi Arabia, June 1996; twelve Americans and 213 Kenyans killed by truck bomb at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, August, 1998; twelve dead and 85 wounded Tanzanians at the U.S. Embassy, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, August 1998; and seventeen U.S. Navy sailors killed and 39 sailors wounded in a suicide small boat attack on the USS Cole in port at Aden, Yemen, October 2000. In retaliation for the Kenya and Tanzania embassy bombings Clinton launched two pitifully ineffective cruise missile strikes on deserted al Qaeda training camps in eastern Afghanistan and also on an aspirin factory in Sudan that had been incompetently misidentified as manufacturing chemical weapons.
As if Clinton's derelictions in responding to eight years' worth of Islamic jihadist provocations weren't enough self-inflicted disgrace, on three occasions Clinton refused offers from the Sudanese government to arrest and extradite Osama bin Laden to U.S. or allied custody in exchange for the lifting of terrorism sanctions against Sudan. What makes these refusals so egregious is that bin Laden had already been identified by U.S. Intelligence as "the greatest single financier of terrorist projects in the world" by 1996. On another occasion when U.S. Intelligence had positively identified bin Laden's location in rural Afghanistan and Navy Tomahawk missiles were in range and were on launch alert, Clinton dithered indecisively until the opportunity was lost.
The primary excuse offered for Clinton's ambivalent and ineffective efforts against Islamic jihad was that the jihadists were just misunderstood and misguided Muslims with legitimate grievances that could be appeased. It was also revealed in a bombshell Washington Times report in October 2015 that the Clinton's administration had collected enough intelligence and had actually accused Iran of being responsible for the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing in a secret diplomatic message. However, Clinton's administration had suppressed the incriminating information against Iran from the American people for fear the public would demand reprisal.
Bush Opened Gitmo And The Democrats Reacted By Putting Their Appeasement Ideology Over National Security
Nine months into the new George W. Bush administration, the 9/11 second al Qaeda attack on the WTC caught George W. Bush unprepared. While the years of planning and preparation for the four airplane attack had occurred during the Clinton administration, the Democrats were very soon blaming Bush to deflect responsibility. In truth, the eight years of Clinton's shirking national security responsibilities and suppressing the truth about the Islamic jihad being waged against the U.S. had created a complacent and lackadaisical attitude throughout much of the U.S. Government toward countering jihadist terrorism.
Given the scale and extent of damage of the 9/11 attack, Bush completely broke from the Clinton policy of half-hearted, piece-meal response and instead instituted what amounted to semi-wartime measures. The big change was that Bush struck back at al Qaeda in Afghanistan almost immediately in the month following the al Qaeda attack as well as opening the jihadist detention camp at the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo (Gitmo) Bay, Cuba as an internment facility in which to hold and interrogate jihadists taken off the battlefield. Gitmo enabled Bush to escalate from Clinton's tentative anti-crime-approach to a vigorous battlefield-warfare-approach in reacting to Islamic jihad. Plus, Gitmo served the dual purposes of providing a facility for captured enemy combatants and as a symbol of the new "real war" approach to fighting jihad.
It is this second symbolic "real war" function of Gitmo that irritates Obama and the Democrats the most because it contradicts the vapid Democrat national security concept that foreign totalitarian threats are to be minimized, sympathized with, and appeased. Almost immediately Gitmo, the USA Patriot Act, and creation of the Department of Homeland Security became the focus of Democrat Party political attacks as they fought against expanding U.S. capabilities to defend the nation against Islamic jihadists. Since the majority of American patriotic citizen voters understandably approved of these increased security measures, which ran directly counter to the Democrat criminal nonchalance toward foreign totalitarian threats to the republic, the Democrats accused the Republicans of exactly what the Democrats were in fact doing – "politicizing the war on terror." As examples of the political attacks to undermine Bush, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Bush an "incompetent leader" and Democrat Senator Dick Durbin described Gitmo as something "done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others."
Obama Campaigned on Closing Gitmo
Obama campaigned on closing Gitmo in order to return to the
Democrat Anti-Crime-Approach
A November 2008 Washington Post headline read: "Guantanamo Closure Called Obama Priority." Within a day of Obama's taking office, a January 2009 CNN headline read: "Obama signs order to close Guantanamo Bay facility." Obama's campaign to minimize the war has been constantly waged during his presidency, for example, on November 1, 2012 Obama said:
Thanks to sacrifice and service of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, al Qaeda has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead.
Also in 2012, Obama's regime manufactured out of whole cloth an unsupported draft National Intelligence Estimate that amazingly announced: "al Qaeda was no longer a direct threat to America!" Defense Intelligence Agency Director Gen. Michael Flynn fought hard against this Obama attempt to again mislead the American people. After his public opposition to Obama's attempt to impose an outright lie on the U.S. intelligence community, Gen. Flynn was forced to retire a year early.
In May 2013 Obama made a speech at the National Defense University in his continuing effort to deceive the public that a war footing was not necessary and that he Democrat anti-crime-approach was all that was required. To support his deception, Obama asserted a large number of the following revealing claims that demonstrate his unceasing attempt to mislead and diminish people's perception of the Islamic jihad threat:
We ended the war in Iraq, and brought nearly 150,000 troops home. . .. Fewer of our troops are in harm's way, and over the next 19 months they will continue to come home. Our alliances are strong, and so is our standing in the world. In sum, we are safer because of our efforts. . .. Today, the core of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan is on the path to defeat. . .. So that's the current threat — lethal yet less capable al Qaeda affiliates; threats to diplomatic facilities and businesses abroad; homegrown extremists. This is the future of terrorism.
I intend to engage Congress about the existing Authorization to Use Military Force, or AUMF, to determine how we can continue to fight terrorism without keeping America on a perpetual wartime footing. . .. The AUMF is now nearly 12 years old. The Afghan war is coming to an end. Core al Qaeda is a shell of its former self. Groups like AQAP must be dealt with, but in the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels themselves al Qaeda will pose a credible threat to the United States. . .. So I look forward to engaging Congress and the American people in efforts to refine, and ultimately repeal, the AUMF's mandate. And I will not sign laws designed to expand this mandate further. Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end. That's what history advises. That's what our democracy demands.
As President, I have tried to close GTMO. I transferred 67 detainees to other countries before Congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other countries or imprisoning them here in the United States. . . . These restrictions make no sense. . . . And given my administration's relentless pursuit of al Qaeda's leadership, there is no justification beyond politics for Congress to prevent us from closing a facility that should have never have been opened.
In a January 2014 interview with The New Yorker Obama was asked about the Islamic jihadist black flags flying over Fallujah, Iraq and other locations in Syria. The New Yorker questioned, given these jihadist gains, if Obama's 2012 reelection campaign assertion that al Qaeda had been "decimated" was wildly wrong? Obama responded by saying:
The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant. I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.
This New Yorker article characterized Obama's analogy as "uncharacteristically flip." And in keeping with Obama's baseless cavalier attitude, in September 2014 he made yet another claim that was to quickly proven as delusional:
This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.
Very shortly after Obama made his preposterous claim that his counter-jihad strategy was successful, this headline appeared four months later, "War on Terror in Yemen Collapses; Libya in Shambles"; and then this one appeared eight months after Obama made his baseless declaration of success, "Somalia in turmoil". Consequently, in view of Obama's deliberate and habitual understatement of the Islamic threat and deceitful and false proclamations of success, Obama has zero credibility when he speaks about the risks posed by Islamic jihad and his strategy to deal with it.
Considering False Arguments For Closing Gitmo
As is usual for Obama, he supports his policy on closing Gitmo with a lie. In his January 2016 State of the Union speech, Obama put forward this false logic as the primary reason for his closure:
"I will keep working to shut down the prison at Guantanamo. It's expensive, it's unnecessary and it only serves as a recruitment brochure for our enemies."
However, Obama is contradicted by empirical information about how Guantanamo is actually portrayed in jihadist propaganda.
Guantanamo has never played a big role in any terrorist group's propaganda compared to the issues that really animate those groups. So while it's easy to find examples of terrorist leaders mentioning and denouncing Guantanamo, these were never the major themes of jihadi propaganda but were, at most, supporting arguments.
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton summed up Obama's deceit succinctly:
"To say that [closing Guantanamo] is a security decision based on propaganda value that our enemies get from it is a pretext to justify a political decision."
Other Democrat objections to Gitmo are equally vapid. The function of Gitmo, incarcerating enemy combatants, will not change regardless if Gitmo remains open or not. The undeniable requirement for a prison facility to house and interrogate the illegal enemy combatants is indisputable. Consequently, regardless whether or not Gitmo is closed, the unsubstantiated and disingenuous complaints from the Islamic world will not cease.
Irrespective where facility is located it will remain an enemy propaganda target because we will still have to maintain custody of captured jihadists (at least hopefully under a new president). Obviously, releasing the detainees while they continue to make war against us is not a logical or prudent course of action. It makes no sense, as these captured jihadists are an acknowledged threat to the U.S., to turn these dangerous individuals over to other nations where we have totally relinquished our ability to control their renewed murderous jihadist activities against us! Obama's Gitmo prisoner release policy is particularly nonsensical, if not treasonous, when it is proven that more than a quarter of those jihadists already released have returned to the battlefield against us.
Many of the legal complications and the dishonest "moral" objections about holding illegal enemy combatants could be alleviated if congress were to declare a state of war is in existence. There is no question that under international law enemy combatants are held until the conflict is concluded.
Every time Obama lies to the American people in his vain attempts to spin away the clash of civilizations caused by Islamic jihad, the continuing jihadist aggression reveals that Obama is mendacious, or that he is buffoon who doesn't understand the international arena in the least, or that he is most probably both.
Given the Democrat Party's obsessional commitment to appeasement as the main pillar of their national security strategy and Obama's single-minded, dogmatic dedication to that Democrat appeasement, which avoids coping with international reality, it is impossible to conclude that Obama is anything other than a mendacious buffoon. When Obama is understood in his proper mendacious characterization, and his obsession with closing Gitmo is put in the Democrat ideological appeasement perspective, it all negates his unsubstantiated objections to Gitmo

Q: Increment history stops history search in Ruby 2.7.0 IRB If I have the following lines in my ~/.inputrc then I can no longer use the up and down arrows to navigate the history in IRB:
# Incremental searching with Up and Down. Type 'ssh <up>' to get the last 'ssh' command you used
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Is there anyway to get this working? This worked previously with Ruby 2.6.x so I presume it's something to do with the reline implementation in 2.7

A: I've found this workaround:
$if Ruby
$else
  "\e[A": history-search-backward
  "\e[B": history-search-forward
$endif

A: I fixed this based on the comment from @anothermh
Use single quotes instead of double quotes. So like this:
'\e[A': history-search-backward
'\e[B': history-search-forward

Asbestos may seem harmless, but for most people who are exposed, the effects don't come about until years after exposure. As a worker, your employer has an obligation to protect you from unreasonable hazards, and you have a responsibility to yourself and your family to take precautions.
Any building built before 1980 could have asbestos in the insulation, roof, walls, and insulation; buildings built after 1980 are usually safer, but they could still have asbestos in the roof or floors. If you don't know the details of construction of a building, you should assume that it does contain asbestos and take appropriate safety precautions. The owner of a building has a legal duty to make sure a building is safe for those who enter.
If you are working in an area that contains asbestos, your employer must pay for special training. The training will cover the dangers of asbestos and how to deal with it. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules dictate that a competent person must be present to answer worked questions about asbestos.
Workers who remove asbestos are supposed to use a respirator. The asbestos should also be kept wet to reduce the formation of dust. The work site should include a vacuum system to collect dust that might contain asbestos.
Be sure to protect your family members by not bringing your work clothing home. There have been cases where wives and children of construction workers got asbestos disease from fibers on the worker's clothes. Make sure your work clothes stay at work and are washed there, or disposed of as hazardous waste after use.
OSHA actually requires asbestos abatement workers to shower after work. And you should never eat, drink, or smoke in the asbestos work area. Wash your hands and face after working in the asbestos area.
One very simple and effective way to mitigate asbestos hazards at construction and other work sites is to keep it wet. Wet asbestos is much less likely to generate hazardous fibers. Both OSHA and the EPA require that asbestos be kept wet when major construction or deconstruction is going on in the building. Make sure your construction manager follows the rules for reducing asbestos exposure and issues respirators. Always use the respirator. It's a hassle, but it could save your life.

The Best Toronto Film Festival Movies to Look Forward To
Sam Fragoso
This year's festival was a standout, and proved there's plenty of quality heading to theaters later this year.
Screenwriter Alex Larsen accepts the Midnight Madness Grolsch People's Choice Award for 'Bodied' at the 2017 TIFF Awards Ceremony in Toronto, Canada on September 17, 2017.Brian de Rivera Simon/Getty Images
Sundance and Telluride may have the more marquee names, but the Toronto International Film Festival, perhaps more than any other in North America, has emerged as an embarrassment of cinematic riches. While a late-summer stupor sweeps multiplexes, TIFF plays host to all kinds of movies, from Oscar hopefuls to shoestring indies to foreign favorites and experimental genre fare. This year's fest was no different, and brought with it a ton of films sure to please crowds, whether they like lush fantasy (Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water) or midnight movie classics (James Franco's The Disaster Artist). Of all the TIFF films coming in 2017, these seven stood out most prominently; keep an eye out for when they make it to a screen near you.
Attuned to the world around him, Guillermo del Toro's latest project is set at the height of the Cold War, when fear outweighed trust. This is especially true for Elia (Sally Hawkins), an isolated government laboratory worker who makes an unexpected discovery during an experiment. Similar to Del Toro's previous films, The Shape of Water is an amalgamation of fantasy and drama. Beautiful and sensitive, it has a surreal quality that's easy to get lost in. In other words, it's everything Pacific Rim wasn't.
Martin McDonagh's third feature film is the type of knockout that takes days to recover from. Bolstered by an ensemble from heaven—Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, Frances McDormand—Three Billboards focuses on a mother whose pain has turned into anger. In an attempt to antagonize the local cops into action, Mildred Hayes (McDormand) purchases ad space on the outskirts of town; the accusatory billboards suggest a failing police department uninterested in serving justice. The movie, written by McDonagh, shares the signature wit and bite of his past work (In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths), but also features an emotional complexity in Mildred that McDormand brings out of the writing. Rarely can films bring you to tears because of both comedy and drama. McDonagh's does.
If the past few years has proven anything, it's that James Franco is a true raconteur. The degree of skill involved in each endeavor varies, but the actor-writer-director deserves some points for trying. It seems fitting that Franco's first true directorial success comes with The Disaster Artist, a sometimes earnest, sometimes satirical biopic of Tommy Wiseau and the making of his legendarily bad film The Room. Is this Franco's Ed Wood? Yes, completely, but it finds its strength in Franco's personification of the unhinged, uncommonly optimistic filmmaker.
Louis C.K. made I Love You, Daddy to set the internet aflame. And if that wasn't the intention, it will certainly be the result of C.K.'s black-and-white yarn about a seasoned showbiz director and his fresh-faced daughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) who entangle themselves with a (potentially) unseemly filmmaker (John Malkovich). The writing is on the wall here—and when the film hits theaters, expect endless essays to be published about how we grapple with art vs. artists, sexual assault, consent, and beyond. Whether you hate it or love it, C.K. is going out on a limb here. The risk is impressive.
C.K.'s new film could make an excellent double bill with this, Joseph Kahn's epic battle rap midnight movie. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like—produced by Eminem, and written by a longtime luminary of the battle circuit. Using a graduate student's thesis as a catalyst, Kahn is poking at the PC police of 2017. Like I Love You, Daddy, the video director's sophomore film revels in the controversial. It's a conversation piece about what we can and cannot say. It's upsetting and frustrating—which I think is kind of the point.
The Current War
Its play-on-words title aside, The Current War is an effective retelling of how the modern world transitioned into using electricity. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), it's the story of two dueling egos—Thomas Edison (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon)—racing to the finish line. The battle between Edison and Westinghouse is written with intensity by Michael Mitnick. Cumberbatch and Shannon, as per usual, breathe life into the dead. Even better, this time around they turn myths into men.
Norwegian talents Joachim Trier and Eskil Vogt turn their studied tenderness into something else in Thelma. A love story between two young women, a cautionary tale of abused power, a fantastical exploration into what a superhero movies could look like. The setup is simple: as a woman begins to fall in love, she finds herself being overrun with newfound powers. Otherworldly abilities that allow her to play with place and time. Trier and Vogt have a knack for humanizing by unearthing the idiosyncrasies of characters, and Thelma is no exception.

Is Change Always Worth It? Latin's New Gym Curriculum
Ethan Lee Co-Sports Editor Along with the importance of education, the Latin School of Chicago also strives to become a healthier community. As of this year, Ms. McCarthy, Head of Physical Education Department and the Sophomore Dean, believes that "PE has more electives and options. This year, students have more flexibility and choices instead of generic exercises." The objective is to have a gym class that meets daily, forcing students to participate in athletic activities on a regular basis. By changing the structure of PE, Ms. McCarthy, as well as other teachers and faculty, aim to increase the health and physical fitness of the Latin community as a whole. The change satisfies Ms. McCarthy's motive to improve the general health and fitness of the Latin School community. Despite good intentions, the new gym policy did not receive entirely positive feedback. Junior Dylan Levin believes that "this year's gym is not as challenging as last year's. Last year's gym required dedication, and it gave us a true workout." Gym has tried to become a class that is now available during the day to students with various skill assets. However, junior Shawn Farschi believes that "gym takes up too much time. I'd rather have a free period where I can get work done. I already do sports; why should I have to [do gym] during my offseason?" Sports and strenuous activities are not for everyone, but those who do it gain an advantage of experience and skill over those who do not. The universal saying, "Strong mind, strong body" has been scientifically proven that students tend to do better academically after participating in a sport. Therefore, by increasing the level of exercises, we can improve in athletics, academics and health. Junior Britt Henderson believes that "it is good that students are required to do gym. This way we become more fit and athletically capable as a community." The more exercises and physical workouts we have, the more beneficial it is for us. According to the Mayo Clinic Staff, physical activity can also help stimulate brain chemicals and can make you feel more relaxed and happier. Exercising can help mentally too. As of 2009, thirty-three states in the U.S had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 25% of its total population. In the same year, 11.9% of Illinois high school students were obese. Sophomore Jack Simborg, an advent believer in this year's gym, states: "This year's gym is a better system that last year's. There is more of a general impact." For the 2010-2011 school year, students are given choices to take a variety of physical activities, ranging from yoga to martial arts. And as the quality of PE increases, so does the quality of our health and fitness. By participating in the new gym curriculum, Latin can "strive to make wellness a part of our daily lives," Ms. McCarthy says. Being healthy is important, and the new gym system definitely accentuates that point. *Note: All statistics are from the Mayo Clinic.]]>

Four Student Government Reforms That Might Actually Do Something
Student Government has been aimless and ineffectual, an institution with the mysterious notoriety of the Honor Council but which holds the same amount of real-world power as Latin's Model UN. The inefficiency is, primarily, no fault of the well-meaning and driven people who lead Student Government, but its very structure, which often tends toward symbolism and rarely brings about meaningful change.

Born and raised in the Western Cape, South Africa, I grew up in a very artistic home and I have always loved to create things. I taught myself to sew, quilt and crochet and to read any pattern. My passion for hand-crafting beautiful and unique items and living a life of creativity became a way of living. I was made for this. I was created to create, and out of that, Bella Poppelina was birthed.
Each piece I design and create is handmade and special and often created with a specific person in mind. I love seeing the look on someone's face when they see the finished product and I see how much they value that. It is a bitter-sweet process – I put a lot of time and great care and attention into everything I make, so it can be hard to part with them once completed, but it is so rewarding seeing the smile on a client's face!
I love nature, anything vintage and whimsical, my garden, succulents and fynbos. I grew up surrounded by beautiful fynbos & absolutely LOVE it. I am inspired by the beauty of nature that surrounds us, by the simple things in life, by conversations with close friends & loved ones, by seasons we go though in life… so many things that inspires me to do what I do. I am hugely grateful to have the incredible opportunity to create and be creative every day.


After what seems like a decade of waiting in anticipation for the debut album from New Zealand's favourite Rock duo, the wait is no more!
Skinny Hobos have been a common house hold name in the world of Rock in the last few years, and unless you live under a rock, they have quite a solid reputation for working themselves ragged gigging around our fine shores to quench the thirst of bogans, rockers, metal heads, and well, pretty much everyone and everything in between, because if you haven't yet heard the news, Skinny Hobos really are that good.
If you've been fortunate enough to catch them live on any given tour date over the years, then you'll know exactly what I mean. Skinny Hobos is Alex on vocals and guitar, and Sam on drums and sharing vocal duty too. That's it. No smoke and mirrors, no gimmicks.
Skinny Hobos are an explosive force of noise that finds its way straight to your soul. They groove and harmonize like Jerry Cantrell and the late great Layne Staley and blow your mind with epic solos (of the guitar and drum variety) and crushing riffs that makes your limbs do this thing where they uncontrollably move on their own.
They're a foot stomping whale of a time, extremely humble and lovely men who can bring down the roof at any venue they play, not to mention captivate the musical minds of every single punter in attendance.
Their debut is a self-titled slab of unprecedented nine songs, full of bite, which many will already know from their swag of previously released singles, The Merchant of Tirau, Suburban Living and Jokers & Fools and the newly released and crowd favourite, Jacked Like the Ripper.
Alex and Sam are solid and captivating musicians. The way they blend and gel together onstage, or in a studio is evident and what they create is something we can all be proud of.
Opening track Sevenatenine (also a fan favourite onstage) captures that bluesy stoner vibe ('a la Kyuss, Fu Manchu etc) signature riffs, extended solos. Everything that embodies Skinny Hobo's presence, while Queen Street is fast, furious and in your face with its explosive tempo.
Skinny Hobo's debut is unquestionably something you need to get behind, discover and put on repeat until you're exhausted, and then go catch them live to exhaust yourself even more, because it's never enough.

With time to adjust, Maryland men's basketball earned a needed ranked victory
Katie Manganelli
Hakim Hart celebrates after making a three-pointer during Maryland men's basketball's 70-68 win over No. 20 Florida on Dec. 12, 2021. (Joe Ryan/The Diamondback)
After losing its head coach just under two weeks ago, Maryland men's basketball and interim head coach Danny Manning needed a win to right the ship.
Now, the Terps are riding high after a victory over No. 20 Florida at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Maryland had a week between games to adjust to the major changes in the program, and those extra practices showed in the Terps' match against the Gators.
Eric Ayala and Fatts Russell returned to their high-scoring ways, combining for 38 points. It was Russell's best scoring performance since Maryland's victory over Vermont on Nov. 13. Florida coach Mike White considered Ayala and Russell's contributions a big difference in the game, among other things.
"Even our feeds led to fouls, of course, or simply [Ayala] or Russell made a big-time play, and I really credit those guys," White said. "We weren't sharp enough defensively to guard a high-level backcourt like that, the way they were playing."
The Terps also found unprecedented success from deep. Manning's squad shot 61.5 percent from beyond the arc, their highest three-point percentage all season.
[Russell, Ayala power Maryland men's basketball past No. 20 Florida, 70-68]
According to Ayala, Manning has been emphasizing shooting drills in recent practices to bring his team to a competitive level in games. The Terps delivered from three on Sunday after those practices.
"We haven't played the way that we're capable of playing," Manning said. "But also we know we can do better. And then today was definitely a step in that direction."
Manning is also putting new lineups and players to work at the start of his tenure as interim head coach. He's been giving Marcus Dockery more playing time at point guard when Russell is on the bench and with Ian Martinez still unavailable — the only game Dockery played in before Manning took over was the season opener against Quinnipiac, where he played for three minutes.
Manning had also discussed playing Maryland's two big-men — Qudus Wahab and Julian Reese — simultaneously in a game. And against Florida, they shared the court.
Dockery, Hakim Hart, Xavier Green, Reese and Wahab, a squad the Terps had never used prior, took the court against Florida. But this new lineup lasted just one minute before Dockery sat for the rest of the game.
Manning said he didn't notice any definitive flaws in the lineup but there are specific times to use such a group.
[COLUMN: Mark Turgeon's abrupt departure shouldn't excite Maryland fans]
"We're still putting our package in for our big guys and we were ready to do that without question," Manning said. "There'll be times that we use it quite a bit and there'll be times that we sprinkle it in, it just depends on matchups and the way things are going."
Turnovers in the first half against the Gators plagued Maryland. Giveaways have been an enduring issue in the first third of the Terps' season — Maryland had 11 turnovers in the first half — and Florida dropped 20 points off the eventual 15-total miscues.
While Manning's squad showed some improvements in Brooklyn, there's still a lot the Terps need to work on to stay competitive at the Big Ten-level. And now they have an opportunity.
Maryland doesn't play another game until Dec. 28 when it faces off against Loyola Maryland at home. The Terps will have a 15-day break to mentally recover from the chaos in the program and put whatever practice time they have to good use. But a first win of the Manning era should serve as some motivation moving forward.
"I'm glad they're going home, I wish they weren't … selfishly, as a coach," Manning said on Friday. "We'll have a couple of practices before our first game and then go from there, but we are looking forward to spending some good, quality time on the practice court."

Golden appears on planet Namek "so this is what planet Namek looks like looks way to peacefull for us to have a battle here guess i should go some where else " Golden put his two fingers on his forehead then disappeared then reappeared some where else then layed down andp planted 5 siabamen then he layed down " 2 go over there behind that rock then 2 go over there behind that one and hide your pressure and you stay here and fan me and wake me up when Dakkon gets here"
Landing on the ground Dakkon smirked and shook his head looking over Golden who had only a short time ago talked tough about how he was going to destroy the namek and Garlic. Dakkon made his way over near where Golden lay and sighed.
"Wake up I have a way to make this intresting....You win I die and swear my life to serveing for the good of the universe for the rest of my life and defend it. HOWEVER...if I win you become my slave on the side of evil and the same terms apply. Deal?"
Dakkon shook his head as the Siabamen made there way out of there little hidding spot and he shook his head and cracked his neck.
"You dont get that you arent going to survive this are you? Here let me show you."
He smirked and shook his head as the power as his transformations were unleashed sent the siabamen flying off and even knocked by Golden a few feet. He looked over as his new power surged and growled.
With that he unleashed his other two moves.
Standing there Dakkon shook his head his power way beyond that od anything Golden could hope to attain he smiled.
"You used your instant transmission already and I am far faster then you are....there is no escape boy....your move."
"hmph well i guess this would help things out haaaaaaaaa" Golden's hair turned gray " well here i come" Golden gose under ground then gose up then grabs Dakkon's feet thing throws him down then sends the siabamen to hold him down then explode right on him "Kamehamheha" A beam went straight at the explosion where Dakkon lies " i hope you enjoy enjoyedd it and i think someone is going to come to help"
Dakkon allowed it all to happen and all of these attacks did little more then tickle the much more over powered namek. He laid on the ground allowing the siabamen to hold him there while the Kamehameha came in and slammed into his chest and it was all Dakkon could do to hold back the laughter as the Kamehameha tickled him. Chunks of planet flew up around him and dust conceled him as the kamehameha that was fired killed the siabamen holding him. When the dust cleared however Dakkon was no longer there.
was whispered into Golden's ear and was followed by a sift kick to Goldens lower back that was only holding about half power so as not to snap the much weaker sayins spine. He watched as the kick sent Golden sprawling into the ground and scared the planet as his body was forced through the rough earth.
Dakkon fired a beam stright into the air the seemed to dissappear and without warning the beam that seemed to have vanished errupted from under Goldens body shooting him up into the sky and shooting pain through every pore.
"Do you understandnow that you have fucked with the wrong Namek boy? Its not to late to serve me."
The wave Sent Dakkon flying but he simply laughed and shook his head.
"10 million you say? alright time to use the last one!"
Standing there Dakkon was in his final transformation and the planet was shaking apart and he cracked his neck holding up his hand. A massive red and black ball appeared and he held out his other hand.
"It has been nice knowing you but with these two moves your as good as dead unless you can breath in space!"
Dakkon fired Super mega death ball knowing that since Golden used instant transmission which could only be used once he would be trapped. The ball hurled golden who was traped inside to the ground and then Dakkon released his other ball screaming "PLANET EATER!". The ball he fired would hit the same time as Golden and would eradicate the planet once it did destroying it and Golden with it. Dakkon held his fingers to his head planning to IT to earth at the last second.
"See you when you return from the aftrlife punk!"
"Brainless idiot'' Saying that vegeta arrives at the scene taking golden by the hand and using his own instant transmission taking both of them to Planet Vegeta''Looks like our ulitmate namek is the one who needs breath in space'' and saying to golden ''Do I get a reward for this''.
Namek exploded (Vegeta got you out of there before you could stop the ball)and Dakkon was still alive for right before the ball hit he used IT and locked onto Vegetas signature! Appearing behind Vegeta he smashed his fist through the monkeys chest and ripped out his heart dropping it to the ground.
"Since you ran away Golden I would say I win that one...and since that fight is over and I started one with Vegeta that just ended I would say I win that fight as well....See you real soon sweet heart."
With that Dakkon instant transmitted away from Vegeta and off to earth where he hide his powerlevel at 5 and walked into west city.
Vegeta began laughing''He he he'' '' The prince always has a second plan'' Just when dakkon was going to use instant transmission vegeta stood up and prevented dakkon from escaping''Remember you alredy used IT in planet Namek'' and screamed at golden''Get out of here now.'' as he saw golden escaping vegeta self destructed knowing that how much strong the opponent is unless he is a majin there is no way out.
Self destruct:DEAD FOR OPONENT AND USER.
After Vegeta exploded and the dust settle Dakkon was still standing there lockd in concentration as the Energy field bomb he used protected him fully from the self detonation of vegeta who killed himself for no reason. He allowed the shield to drop after a moment and with a smirk he flew backwards a few feet.
"We can continue this or you can go collect the dragonballs. However keep in mind Garlic has 6 out of the 7 already...you didnt think I wanted to fight you just to kill you did you?"
" Ill take care of you first then so Super Sayian 7" now i have way more power than you so bring it on"


Good food. But be sure to check what you are getting.
The food is definitely good, I agree with that. Though, if you are looking for original recipes, you may have to look somewhere else. In my opinion a call to discuss your order before you go ahead is in order so that you know what you are ordering for.
Curry Haus when I ordered from them has changed its call signs to Curry Company. This seems to be a recent development. Now this seems to be a bit of identity crisis with them. Well I don't blame them. Even their food has a bit of an identity problem it seems. By no means am I saying that their food doesn't taste well. That it does. But it really is not the same as per the name.
So I found them on Zomato and decided to order in through the app. I ordered a Shikampuri Kebab Meal with a Chicken Taka Tak. There was a BOGO offer going on so it was a great deal. The food got delivered in time and was decently packaged. Along with the cutlery they were sensitive enough to send in an "aloe vera" hand towel as well. Not many outlets do this. So it was a kind & sensitive gesture.
As per the food, as i said above it tasted nice. The distinct difference is the nomenclature. The name of the dish. I ordered for Shikampuri kebab and I got mutton seekh kebab instead. Shikampuri kebabs are flat discs of mince meat with a curd based stuffing. So these were just not the thing.
And then they tasted so similar to Sameer Qureshi's in DLF Phase I Shopping Mall market, I was almost tempted to call him and check if they were the suppliers. The dal makhani on the other hand tasted really nice and creamy and the paranthas were hot when I took them out.
Chicken taka tak again was a good chicken tikka masala. It had not been taka-taked at all. Taka tak is a very Lahori style of mince meats on a huge tawa. And this chicken was definitely not taka taked. Hence, my issue once again with the nomenclature. Why try and be something that you are not. Keep it simple people. Make good food and earn your accolades.
Finally, points have been given for well packed, well tasting food delivered in time. However, points have been deducted for not receiving what I ordered for. My request for extra condiments was totally ignored.
To Sum-It-Up: The food is definitely good, I agree with that. Though, if you are looking for original recipes, you may have to look somewhere else. In my opinion a call to discuss your order before you go ahead is in order so that you know what you are ordering for.


Can I open carry at my university or college?
I live out of state and have a license to carry, can I open carry in Texas?
No. Your concealed handgun license will "qualify" you to openly carry a handgun. The CHL will become just a handgun license referred to as an LTC.
Is there additional training for open carry. Do I need to retake the class?
No, the new training will be added to the LTC classes as mandated by the law for those required to take the class. No additional training required for current CHL holders.
Can Peace Officers require you to present CHL and ID for open carry?
YES. As might be imagined, the open carry bill did not get through the Texas Legislature without some controversy. An amendment to restrict a police officer's ability to stop and verify that a person who is carrying a handgun is licensed to do so (or falls under some other exception) was initially put into the bill to prevent possible police abuses of open carriers (Dutton Amendment), but was later removed by the Legislature's conference committee to ensure that the bill would pass. This means that a police officer who sees a person in a public place with a handgun may detain them to determine if they are exempted from the general prohibition against carrying a handgun without a license. If a person is stopped by a police officer, and the officer asks to see ID, the LTC holder is obliged to show the officer both their ID and LTC. Once the person is verified to be in possession of a valid LTC, the police encounter should end.
Sec. 411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE.
 If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.
Sec. 411.206. SEIZURE OF HANDGUN AND LICENSE. (a) If a peace officer arrests and takes into custody a license holder who is carrying a handgun under the authority of this subchapter,the officer shall seize the license holder's handgun and license as evidence.
(b) The provisions of Article 18.19, Code of Criminal Procedure, relating to the disposition of weapons seized in connection with criminal offenses, apply to a handgun seized under this subsection.
(c) Any judgment of conviction entered by any court for an offense under Section 46.035, Penal Code, must contain the handgun license number of the convicted license holder. A certified copy of the judgment is conclusive and sufficient evidence to justify revocation of a license under Section 411.186(a)(4).
Do I give up my right to open carry if I get a concealed handgun permit?
No. One you have completed the CHL (LTC- License To Carry) you can carry either way.
Yes. As the owner or a representative of the property and does not have to be concealed NOR are you required to have a license to carry as long as you are not hired for security purposes.
THE WEAPON MUST BE IN A HOLSTER (BELT OR SHOULDER) ON YOUR BODY even in your vehicle if you chose to open carry.
*** FURTHER You MAY carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle CONCEALED without a license to carry.
Do businesses have the right to refuse entry?
YES. Businesses can refuse entry with concealed carry and Open carry. The 30.06 for concealed carry must be present and in clear view upon entry and IF the business DOES not want open carry, The 30.07 sign must be placed in the same manner. A BUSINESS CAN REFUSE OPEN CARRY WHILE ALLOWING CONCEALED CARRY.
Yes, provided the property does not display a 30.07 sign. The 30.07 sign will ban open carry, while the 30.06 sign will still apply to ban concealed carry. A business wanting to completely ban firearms is required to post both.
** However, On January 1st 2016, If you do carry a weapon onto property displaying either sign, A representative of the business must advise you verbally to exit and secure the weapon. This becomes a CLASS C misdemeanor BUT if you refuse to leave you will be charged with a class A misdemeanor of Criminal Trespass by a licensed holder and will have your CHL/LTC revoked.
if the owner requests removal of the weapon or asks you to leave the property, please respect his or her wishes and your credibility as a good citizen. I great deal of your time and money was spent getting this license to carry... Do not lose it due to poor choices.
An unexpected benefit of the debate over the "open carry" bill is that it resulted in lowering the potential penalty for anyone accused of violating a "30.06" sign from a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by up to a year in county jail and/or a $4,000 fine) to a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by a maximum fine of $200 only. This is the penalty for the new 30.07 law as well. This means that even if a license holder is convicted of trespassing in violation of a property owner's "30.06" or "30.07" sign. However,if a license holder is given a personal, verbal "30.06" or "30.07" warning such as "we don't allow guns in here" or "you are not allowed to open carry in here," and the license holder refuses to leave or conceal their handgun, the potential penalty remains a Class A misdemeanor.
This means that if a building is USED for commercial AND Government services, PROHIBITING the carrying of handguns is UNLAWFUL unless all business in the building agree to post the 30.06 and 30.07 signs.
EXAMPLE…. County building which has a tax office, court….. AND has a coffee shop, gift store or any other private business cannot prohibit the carrying of a weapon simply because it is a "Government building" you still CANNOT carry into those offices, however you CAN in fact carry into the building.
The building owner, County or municipal owners can receive a civil penalty for just posting the signage.

Elias to see out MotoGP season with Forward
MotoGP veteran Toni Elias will contest the five remaining Grands Prix of the 2015 MotoGP season with Forward Racing as he replaces Claudio Corti.
Elias, 32, scored a MotoGP win in the 2006 Portuguese Grand Prix with Honda and has five other premier class podiums to his name.
Having stepped down to Moto2 in 2010 for a title-winning campaign, he has been on and off in MotoGP since then and has most recently contested this year's Indianapolis race as an AB Motoracing replacement rider.
"I can't be happier to be back racing in MotoGP," Elias said. "I wish to thank Giovanni [Cuzari, Forward boss] and the whole team for this great opportunity. The goal is to work hard and enjoy the ride: the results will come. I am very motivated and enthusiastic."
Forward has endured a turbulent 2015 season in MotoGP, the Yamaha customer team forced to skip Indianapolis when Cuzari was arrested by Swiss officials on corruption and fraud charges.
The events have seen Stefan Bradl terminate his contract with the team and the German was replaced by Corti, who now makes way for Elias after recording a best finish of 18th in the last three races.
"We are delighted to welcome Toni Elias to our team for the rest of the season, with five races to go, two of which are in Spain," Cuzari said.
"We are proud to have a former World Champion riding the Yamaha Forward for the remaining 5 races.
"Special thanks to Claudio, who has always been close to Forward Racing, and has stayed with us in the past few races putting himself fully at the team's disposal."
In spite of the turmoil, Forward have enjoyed an extremely successful San Marino Grand Prix, with the team's main rider Loris Baz making the best of mixed conditions to claim a fourth-place finish.

Sunny Leone And Sandhya Mridul Lock Lips For 'Ragini MMS-2'
Film producer Ekta Kapoor's latest movie 'Ragini MMS 2' has been generating a lot of buzz before its release. The news of Sunny Leone and Sandhya Mridul sharing a steamy lip-lock has created a flutter on social media.
Sunny Leone and Sandhya Mridul recently shot the intense lip-locking scene and now the film unit is expecting it to be a talking point before the release. Tanuj Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures said, "There are no lesbian scenes in the film. There is only one sensuous kiss between the two girls, which was needed by the script. Sandhya is an accomplished actress and will be playing an important part in the film."
Highlighting the importance of the scene in the movie Mr Garg said, "Nothing that we have done is tacky or crass. It was tastefully and aesthetically shot. Both girls were very sporting as they know there's nothing vulgar in the way it's been presented. It is organic to the narrative."
'Ragini MMS 2' is expected to hit the movie theatres later this month.

Neglecting your brakes can spell disaster. Brake parts, such as brake calipers, rotors, and pads, can wear down over time. If you begin to notice difficulty slowing down or stopping your Porsche, don't hesitate! Shop for OEM brake parts from our online shelves. The brake system within your vehicle operates by applying hydraulic pressure on the rotors through the brake pads. Friction, time, and damage can cause these parts to become less and less effective. Start shopping today if your brakes aren't what they used to be.

Nicol, Iain G.
About the author: Iain G. Nicol is Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at Knox College (Presbyterian Church in Canada) in the Toronto School of Theology. Among other translations from German, articles, and chapters in books, he has also already published in the Edwin Mellen Press's Schleiermacher: Studies-and-Translation Series as editor of and contributor to Schleiermacher and Feminism (1992), and as the translator in 1997 of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Reformed But Ever Reforming: Sermons in Relation to the Celebration of the Handing Over of the Augsburg Confession (1830).
Friedrich Schleiermacher on Creeds, Confessions and Church Union " That They May Be One"
These items are translated here for the first time, eight from German (by Nicol) and one from Latin (the 1817 "Oratio" by Terrence Tice). Together they represent Schleiermacher at his ecclesial best: as epoch-making interpreter of creeds and confessions, as engaging preacher to a worshipping community, as university scholar in service of the church (as he emphasizes the 16th century Reformers were), as official leader, as critically minded student of tradition, as sharp but loving debater on crucial issues, and as advocate of Christian community and church union.
Reformed But Ever Reforming: Sermons in Relation to the Celebration of the The Handing Over of the Augsburg Confession (1830)
This sermonic treatise discusses some basic concerns regarding confession of faith within the German Evangelical church. It is both affirming and critical of the Augsburg Confession, handed over to the Emperor Charles V in 1530. Unified in mood and presentation, they comprise a companion volume to an ethical sermonic treatise on The Christian Household (Mellen, 1991).
SCHLEIERMACHER AND FEMINISM: Sources, Evaluations, and Responses
Consists of analysis and interpretation focuses on Schleiermacher's acute observations and insights on gender and their importance for contemporary feminism. It not only interprets the past with a view to establishing exemplary historical precedents for contemporary thought and praxis, it also aims to ask: How can my thinking and praxis change?


What do you think could be better?
lol thanks..the 2 bolded ones are the 2 I noticed myself but couldnt really fix...not trying to toot my own horn...but if I had photoshop I feel I could make stuff look WAAAAY better than the way my gallery is now.
So, what could be better about the "fixed" one?
.but if I had photoshop I feel I could make stuff look WAAAAY better than the way my gallery is now.
Have you ever tried the free art program GIMP, Open Canvas 1.1, or Paint.net?
Couldnt get GIMP to work and I havent heard of the other 2.
GIMP didn't work? That the heck? It should not be too extensive to be too strong for the modern computer. Oh well; if it did work, it offers the basic PS colors/effects/tools, and I honestly think if someone can master GIMP, they could get the same quality as PS (and better, it is free!).
Open Canvas 1.1 is a really smooth painting program like Coreal Painter except it takes up tiny space on the computer and is really easy to use. You do not really need a tablet to use it. If GIMP did not work for you, you could always try Open Canvas 1.1 for coloring.
Paint.net is a really basic better-than-MS-Paint version that provides the basic resizing, typing, coloring tools, but it is not as extensive as PS or GIMP. However, if you are always struggling with annoying resizing/basic colors/shading, you could always try this one.
I love how I have to advertise everything.
Yuna's head is too small for her shoulders.
Her right arm looks mangled.
Armpit is too low. Armpits are generally higher than the breast. It is too low here, even taking perspective into consideration.
Hips are too large and it doesn't look like she has buttocks. My suggestion would be to draw yuna without her clothes on, then once you have the anatomy right you can add the skirt.

← Mine's a Pint… of Water, it's January…
Global Warning… →

Not Quite as Unpopular as the Other Jim…
The latest person to be arrested in Operation Yewtree was Jim Davidson on the grounds of historic sex abuse charges in what police have called a Big Break-through in their ongoing investigation.
The operation has thus far seen the following people, amongst others, linked to the investigation: Gary Glitter (who'd have thought?); Max Clifford (who was forced to work quite hard to keep his name out of the papers on the following day) and the former weatherman on ITV's This Morning (who as soon as he heard the news of the police coming to raid his house, quickly escaped capture by jumping across to Ireland).
I think Jimmy Saville may have also been linked to it as well, although I'm not certain. Additionally, Rolf Harris has not formally been linked to the scandal – despite someone claiming that he did something untoward with 2 little boys…
It's hard to know whether the above people were named on Phillip Schofield's infamous list of names he'd managed to find on Google. I've recently searched on Google for 'Phillip Schofield' and found the accusation that he's gay and that he's having an affair with Holly Willoughby (obviously, those rumours slightly contradict each other). There's also a rumour that he eats guinea pigs – which may explain what happened to Gordon the Gopher…
The BBC practically (and incorrectly) outed Lord McAlpine as a potential child abuser and then later retracted their story and were forced to apologise in an episode of Newsnight where the only talking point was last week's Newsnight.
Quite how Newsnight were allowed to all but give the name of a potential child abuser without contacting him first to let him know that they were going to accuse him of the worst possible crime is a bit beyond me (Lord McAlpine was on holiday at the time and consequently had a bit more to do when he got back than the usual things like turning his water back on).
Lord McAlpine was then rumoured to be considering taking legal action against anyone who'd named him on Twitter and he'd ask them to donate £5 to Children in Need. Personally I'd be happy to name potential suspects on Twitter at £5 a go – if they don't sue me, then they must have something to hide and it would be a great way to flush them out of the system and let society know what they're really like.
Davidson no doubt got the shock of his life when the police raided his house the other day, although apparently his Big Break co-presenter had read about the impending raid in his horoscopes that morning – I don't know much about the astrological tendencies of his Big Break co-presenter… but apparently he's a Virgo…
It seems that the vast increase in social networking and rolling news has led to a cornerstone of the British justice system, that being 'innocent until proven guilty' slowly dissipating as 'trial by [social] media' seeps into public life. Over that last 2 days, Davidson will no doubt have had a lot of incorrect things written about him – one newspaper even went as far as calling him a 'well-liked comedian'…
