A bustiere (alternately bustier) is an article of clothing for women, which is form-fitting and is traditionally worn as lingerie. It looks somewhat like a Basque, but a bustiere is shorter. It reaches down only to the ribs or the waist and has a different function: its primary purpose is to push up the bust by tightening against the upper midriff and forcing the breasts to move up, while gently shaping the waist. Modern bustiers are often made with mesh panels rather than boning. The bustier is a multi-purpose garment and doubles as a push-up bra for inner wear and as a camisole for outer wear. The bustier can also be worn as a half-slip under diaphanous upper garments if a bold display of the midriff is not desired.

Nowadays, a woman might wear a bustier as an undergarment/push-up bra under a low-backed dress.
The bustier when worn very tightly can also be used in erotic asphyxiation during physically exertive sex, especially when used with plastic wrap and wadded

Moscow’s medical workers discovered a magnificent gift of a sixteen-year-old girl Natalya Demkina from Saransk. The girl possesses “dual vision”. She is capable of discerning a person’s internal organs without using X-ray or ultrasound.

Natasha has already disproved several medical diagnoses and has not made any mistakes. A series of medical experiments conducted in one of the clinics provide substantial and undeniable proofs of the girls’ unique abilities.

“Growing up, my daughter was just an ordinary child,” states Natasha’s mother Tatyana Vladimirovna. “Perhaps, she just a bit more mature than other kids her age. Natasha started to talk when she was only 6 months old. At 1, she could already recite Pushkin and Nekrasov by heart. By 3, Natasha mastered the alphabet and learned to operate a snowmobile,” continues her mother. “Since early childhood, Natasha has been resistant to cold temperatures. She practically walked around naked till winter. She once walked barefoot in the snow after sauna [Rus. banya] Overall, she was just a normal kid. Never was she able to see through humans!”

The Demkins family remains puzzled as to the origin of their daughter’s gift. Perhaps, Natasha’s latest surgery has triggered such “vision improvement”. Natasha’s appendix has been removed. However, by the time she was scheduled to be sent home from the hospital, she could hardly move. Ultrasound revealed that doctors forgot to remove sanitary cotton tampons from the girl’s intestines. Natasha was once again hospitalized and operated for the second time. In a month after that incident, the teenager was able to surprise her mother with her unique quality. “I see a crimped tube similar to our vacuum cleaner inside of you. I also see two beans and a tomato that resembles a bulls’ heart,” states the girl. Back then, she was not aware of medical terminology and could not provide a proper name for a heart, a liver, a kidney, or intestines. She simply compared what she saw to fruits and vegetables.

Medical workers of children’s hospital №1 decided to conduct several experiments in order to gain some insight into the girl’s gift. Natasha was shown a woman with a whole bunch of illnesses. The girl managed to list every single one of them. Further ultrasound examination simply proved her final diagnosis.

Natasha is capable of distinguishing even the tiniest pathology on a molecular level in the deepest corners of a human body, which are usually left undetected by regular ultrasound. “It’s like having double vision. I can switch from one to the other in no time if I need to know a person’s health problem,” says the teenager. “I see an entire human organism. It is difficult to explain how I determine specific illnesses. There are certain impulses that I feel from the damaged organs. The secondary vision works only in daytime and is asleep at night.”

Natasha began her studies at a multi-disciplined academy at the Moscow’s State University of Ogarev in order to learn more about organism’s phenomenal qualities. There she specializes in medicine. “Being able to use medical terminology, I will be able to state the final diagnosis more accurately. I have to know and understand what I see. This will definitely ease my work with people who come for consultations,” states Natasha.

In the meantime, the amount of people willing to attend the girls’ consultations increases day after day. News about her wonderful gift has quickly spread around their district. Today, the Demkins family accepts about twenty phone calls a day with cries for help.

“We even have people standing in line right before our door,” says Natasha. “I cannot turn them down. I do not accept any monetary rewards either. That is why I am often exhausted by the end of the day. Some people do not even thank me…”

Doctors themselves often pay visits to the girl. Several times Natasha disproved their final diagnoses. “There was once a lady who had been diagnosed with cancer. I looked at her and did not notice anything like it, just a small cyst. The woman however stated that she had just been diagnosed with cancer.” Secondary examination however revealed that Natasha had been right.

“I would like to get into Moscow’s medical academy of Sechenov. However, I do not think that I will be able to pay for my studies- 70,000 rubles annually. Not even my gift can help me in these matters,” says Natasha.

Natasha is right. Despite a number of experiments and thorough medical examinations, the girl’s gift still needs to be backed up by scientific evidences and facts. Today, the girl hopes that scientists will notice her and conduct all the necessary experiments. “I have nothing to hide,” says Natasha. “Let them experiment with me. Perhaps, they will be able to explain the nature of my secondary vision. Then I guess I will have a chance to study at the most prestigious medical school.”

The music video for the song “Nobody” by Korean pop group the Wonder Girls was named “Video of the Year” by a U.S.-based music website.

In an online poll for 80 videos conducted by Musiqtone.com until Sunday, the video for the English version of “Nobody” received 1,249,080 votes or 37 percent of the total to claim the top position.
Wonder Girls Wonder Girls

The runner-up, “Automatic” by German band Tokio Hotel, garnered 400,000 fewer votes for 24 percent of the total.

Musiqtone.com provides news and multimedia content about albums and music videos in the U.S. The Wonder Girls were one of the nominees for the website’s “Artist of the Month” last September.

Heavy voting by Korean netizens may be the reason “Nobody” shot to the top. The poll allowed individuals to vote up to 50 times a day.

The Wonder Girls made their U.S. debut last fall with the English version of “Nobody,” which became the first song ever by a Korean artist to enter the Billboard Hot 100 in October when it ranked 76th.

Want to bond with a new group of people? You could cover all your clothing in glue, or, if you’re on a budget, you could just laugh with them. If you’ve ever been the only person in a group who didn’t get a joke, you probably already know that laughter is critically important to successful social interactions. Scientists have found that mutual laughter helps people feel at ease around each other, and laughing when others are laughing makes those others more likely to accept you into their group. If you have a extremely loud or a very annoying laugh and it is embarrassing to you to laugh, don’t worry: everyone has different laughs. Just try not to annoy others.

What’s more, research suggests that laughter really may be the best medicine; laughter provides a vigorous workout to tighten your tummy and strengthen your heart, and regular laughing may boost your immune system. Fortunately, just about everybody can laugh. Just in case you need some pointers, though, you’ve come to the right place.

steps

1
Think of something you find funny. Not surprisingly, the easiest way to laugh is to think of something that you personally find very amusing. It seems a no-brainer, but it can be useful for those occasions where everybody but you is laughing at a joke. Why would you want to laugh just because others are laughing? Laughing along with one or more people shows you how to have to amuse yourself.

2
Smile. If you do want to fake… er, create a laugh, start with a smile. Scientists have found that genuine laughter is almost accompanied by the contraction of about 15 facial muscles, most of which are the same you use when you smile. Remember to smile with your eyes as well as your mouth. Smiling not only is a part of the natural laugh reflex; it can actually put you in a better mood and make you more apt to laugh.

3
Laugh at the appropriate time. Genuine laughs almost always begin at the end of a phrase or sentence. That is, they do not interrupt spoken phrases, but rather punctuate speech when the speaker would normally pause to breathe or start a new thought. You have probably noticed that stand-up comedians, for instance, pause at certain times during or after their jokes. These are spaces for laughter, and if a comedian had the lung capacity and the audacity to deliver a two-minute monologue without ever pausing, it’s quite possible no one would laugh, regardless of how funny the routine was.

4
Match your vowels. A typical laugh consists of short vocalizations, each with the same vowel sound. So, for example, “ha ha ha” will sound like a normal laugh, as will “bo ho ho,” but “ha ho ha” just sounds weird. And kind of scary.

5
Time your vocalizations. Research shows that the individual vocalizations that make up a “natural” laugh are about 210 milliseconds apart. The precision of that statistic is useless, because it varies around four per second, and comedians have made fun of limits in the machine gun tempo.

6
Feel it in your belly. You’ve got your timing and vowels right, but if you just say “ha ha ha” people are liable to think that you are either stuttering or mocking them. If this is not your desired effect, remember that sustained or frequent laughter is a proven way to strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles. The reason, of course, is that a good laugh uses those muscles to rather forcefully expel short bursts of air. Practice this by doing your best belly laugh—it doesn’t necessarily need to be loud—for one minute. You will feel the burn. You may want to be seated if you try this, however, as laughter is characterized by irregular breathing and is actually similar to gasping for air.

7
Taper your laugh. The typical laugh starts relatively loud and then tapers gradually off. While this isn’t always the case, laughs that increase in volume or that stop abruptly are generally suspicious. And remember, laughing is showing people that you’re happy. So, have fun with it and don’t worry about what people think of your laugh. Everyone has their own unique laugh, and everyone will love to hear yours!

warnings

* While scientists believe that laughter has a whole host of health benefits, it’s not recommended for some people, such as those who have recently had certain surgeries or those with certain medical conditions. Sometimes people laugh at sneezes or hiccups; however after surgery either can causes severe groans; which may seem funny to the innocent bystander but not to the one groaning: ” `Hic’ , awnh-aaaawnh-aah-awh!”.
* Always follow the advice of your medical professional, and if you ever experience pain or discomfort while laughing, especially if the discomfort persists after you have stopped laughing, consult your doctor immediately.
* As is the case with other forms of body language, it’s difficult to fake laughter, and if you’re unconvincing, people may suspect there’s something phony about you.
* Too much “laughter” may cause people to believe that you have serious mental problems.

The Black Heron, Egretta ardesiaca, also known as the Black Egret, is an African heron. It is a medium-sized (42.5–66 cm in height), black-plumaged heron with yellow legs and feet. It is found south of the Sahara Desert, including Madagascar, and prefers shallow open waters, such as the edges of freshwater lakes and ponds. It may also be found in marshes, river edges, rice fields, and seasonally flooded grasslands. In coastal areas, it may be found feeding along tidal rivers and creeks, alkaline lakes, and tidal flats. Its breeding range is between Senegal and Sudan and to the south. It is found mainly on the eastern half of the continent.
Black Herons canopy feeding

The Black Heron has an interesting hunting method called canopy feeding — it uses its wings like an umbrella, and uses the shade it creates to attract fish. This technique was well documented on episode 5 of the BBC’s The Life of Birds. Some Black Herons feed solitarily, while others feed in groups of up to 50 individuals, 200 being the highest number reported. The Black Heron feeds by day but especially prefers the time around sunset. It roosts communally at night, and coastal flocks roost at high tide. The primary food of the Black Heron is small fish, but it will also eat aquatic insects, crustaceans and amphibians.

The nest of the Black Heron is constructed of twigs placed over water in trees, bushes, and reed beds, forming a solid structure. The heron nests at the beginning of the rainy season, in single or mixed-species colonies that may number in the hundreds. The eggs are dark blue and the clutch is two to four eggs.

Obsidian is the name given to several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.
Beast Machines
Obsidian Vehicon
Sub-group Basic Vehicle
Function Aerial Combat
Rank 6
Motto “Megatron is Cybertron. To defend one is to defend the other.”
“Walking is for suckers.” (Beast Wars Returns)
Alternate Modes Cybertronian Tiltrotor (Resembling a V-22 Osprey)
Series Beast Machines
English voice actor Paul Dobson

Oddly Obsidian’s tech specs have little or nothing to do with the character as seen on the show, instead being described as a simple drone-general attaché.

His biography indicates that he provide air support for Vehicon Tank-Drones, but oddly portrayed him as made to be a fairly mindless air-attack unit by Megatron, which contradicted his show history as a Cybertronian General.

The appearance of Obsidian is based on concept art provided to Hasbro by Draxhall Jump.
[edit] Animated series

Obsidian is a legendary Cybertronian General who scored countless victories alongside his consort Strika. According to the Maximals in the episode “Sparkwar” they fought a thousand wars and won them all. The two were captured by Megatron, along with the entire population of Cybertron, who then eventually placed their sparks in Vehicon bodies. Obsidian became a helicopter, leading the aerial forces in place of the fallen Jetstorm.

They first appeared in the episode “Sparkwar Part 1″, where they immediately made an impact. Pretending to be dim and fairly weak, a’la Tankor, the two lured the Maximals into a trap, cutting off their every option with countless numbers of new Vehicon Drones. Cornering them underground, the Maximals only escaped due to Botanica’s intervention.

Unlike the previous generation of Vehicon generals (Tankor, Jetstorm and Thrust), both Obsidian and Strika weren’t given alternate personalities. They remained who they had always been. However, their prime directive was the protection of Cybertron, and they had been programmed to perceive Megatron and Cybertron as one and the same. To defend one was to defend the other. Unlike the previous Generals, Obsidian was willing to take the responsibilities of his own failures, making him perhaps the most honest of the Vehicon Generals. Obsidian and Strika were the first vehicons to address Megatron as “Lord Megatron”

Obsidian proved himself to be a tactical genius on the battlefield, given his past history as a supreme general. Despite his military brilliance, he was at a loss when without a certain directive. When Megatron was seemingly destroyed, he and Strika joined the Maximals, since their options had become limited. This alliance would turn out brief though, for when Megatron returned in the body of a Diagnostic Drone, Obsidian and Strika immediately return to his side.

In the final battle with the Maximals, Obsidian and Strika were tricked into standing on an antigravity unit by Cheetor, who launched the pair into space, where neither were affected by the reformatting of Cybertron.

According to an F.A.Q. on Bob Skir’s web site there was a scene with Obsidian and Strika cut from the final episode. “Obsidian and Strika had a MAGNIFICENT scene in which they return to Cybertron and decline an offer to be reformatted themselves (partly because they feel unworthy because of their role helping Megatron, and party because I wanted them to remain “pure” when I brought them back in the next series… which (as of this writing) I haven’t been invited onto yet. Sadly, their finale got cut for time.”
[edit] Fun Publications

Obsidian and Strika appeared together in the story Wreckers: Finale Part 2 by the Transformers Collectors Club in 2007. During the invasion of Cybertron the Quintessons believed the orbital defenses were deactivated, but thanks to Obsidian and Strika, some of them were brought back online and used against a Quintesson ship.
Toys

* Beast Machines Basic Obsidian (2000)

Although the Hasbro toy of Obsidian wasn’t colored like the character in the animated series, when released in Japan’s Beast Wars Returns toy line it was recolored to match the show.
The Transformers: Universe character of Rotorbolt was a redeco of Obsidian as a Predacon, but although prototypes of this figure was made, it was never released.

Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Obsidian RiD Obsidian.JPG
RiD Obsidian Toy
Decepticon
Sub-group Basic Vehicles
Function Helicopter
Alternate Modes Cybertronian Tiltrotor
Series Transformers: Robots in Disguise

Due to the RiD universe not being remotely connected to the original series, Beast War and Beast Machines universe, and the fact that this Obsidian did not appear in the TV show or in any other fiction, nor did he receive any sort of biography from Hasbro; it can only be presumed that he was a completely different character.
Toys

* Robots in Disguise Obsidian (2002)

A redeco of the original Beast Machines toy of the same name, a character called Obsidian was released as a Decepticon in the RiD toyline.

Transformers: Universe
Obsidian Decepticon
Sub-group Basic Vehicles
Function Aerial Combat
Rank 9
Partner Tankor
Motto “Control the air and you control the battle. Control the mind, you control the war.”
Alternate Modes Cybertronian Tiltrotor
Series Transformers: Universe
Tankor and Obsidian bring Blackarachnia to Tarantulas in the Transformers: Universe comics.

Once again a Decepticon, he is released with Tankor. However, this was an alternate universe version rather than the actually Obsidian from Beast Machines.

His bio indicated he that similar to the real Obsidian, had previously been a great general, captured and turned into a Vehicon by Megatron. Unlike the Obsidian from Beast Machines however, this Obsidian secretly plotted to overthrow his master. Lacking Strika in this universe and recognizing his own shortcomings, he teamed up with Tankor, who had not regained his Rhinox memories. Together they overthrew Megatron, taking control of Cybertron for themselves. Recognizing his leadership abilities, Unicron plucked him (along with Tankor) from his universe and made him one of his troops.
Obsidian and Strika appear in a flashback in the Cybertron comics.
3H Enterprises

In the comics, he said that he was from the reality where Unicron conquered Cybertron.

Background
Content

Ryan and Sean started posting YouTube videos of themselves lip synching to songs in mid 2006 while attending Waiakea High School.[3] They quickly expanded beyond songs, with a variety of other comedic pieces. The duo continued to gain popularity, releasing a series of “how-to” guides such as How to be Ninja, How to be Gangster, How to be Emo and How to be Nerd that became their most popular releases to date.

Recently, their video content has shifted towards spoofs of real commercial products and movies. Some spoofed products include the ShamWOOHOO! (after the ShamWow!), ChildrensBop, and Hook on Fonik along with The Portobello Mushroom Burger. Their Movies in Minutes videos summarize and spoof movies such as Harry Potter, Twilight, Transformers, Titanic, Saw and New Moon.

Occasional guest appearances are made by Tim Enos (who plays the role of Helga Fawntanilla), Ryan Villaruel, Kyle Chun, Mason Turner and Tarynn Nago (Ryan’s girlfriend), collectively known as the “Yabo Crew”.[4]
Popularity

Ryan and Sean’s YouTube channel, nigahiga, was created on July 20, 2006. By July 2008 it had over 300,000 subscribers, making it one of the site’s most subscribed channels.[5] By November 2008, their videos had been viewed over 150 million times.[6]

On May 10, 2009, Nigahiga passed the one million subscriber mark and ranked as YouTube’s second most subscribed channel, just short of Fred’s 1.2 million subscribers. On August 20, 2009, Ryan and Sean overtook Fred to become the most subscribed YouTube channel of all time.[7]

On Christmas Eve of 2008, Ryan and Sean’s two most popular videos, How to be Gangster and How to be Emo, were removed due to copyright violations.[8] On January 21, 2009, nigahiga’s account was temporarily suspended and was told to remove more copyrighted videos. Because of this, nigahiga’s lip synching videos were all removed (with the exception of You’re Beautiful, which was audio swapped[9]), and so were most of his videos that include copyrighted music. As of now, all the music that is being played in nigahiga’s videos is music Ryan composed himself. How to be Gangster and How to be Emo were put back on nigahiga’s channel in late August 2009, only to be removed a few days later, along with How to be Ninja. Ryan and Sean used to have over 90 videos, but due to copyright incidents, their video number has dropped down currently to 51.[10]
Ryan and Sean’s Not So Excellent Adventure
In 2008, Los Angeles producer Derek Zemrak offered to help them create their first feature-length film. The resulting film, Ryan and Sean’s Not So Excellent Adventure, was directed by Richard Van Vleet and released on November 14, 2008.[11][12] It was shown in sold out theaters in Hawaii and California.[6] The DVD was released on July 14, 2009 in the USA.

WILL tablet computers save the newspaper industry?

Apple is expected to release its highly anticipated tablet computer, dubbed iTablet or iSlate by some, later this month.

Like every Apple product, it will most likely look cool and people will line up for days to buy it, but the big question on my mind is: Will the device, and others like it, have the power to revive a rapidly decaying newspaper and publishing industry?

It is no secret the newspaper industry, as a whole, took a huge hit in 2009. Most were forced to lay off staff and others shut their doors. Besides a massive recession, publishers were having trouble adapting traditional page layouts, with their power to draw readers in and give them something they weren’t looking for, to the Internet. Even some of the best designed papers in the world had home pages that featured small photos, small headlines and even smaller text on their home pages.

Some newer media sites have recently popped up on the web, giving us a glimpse of what publishing 2.0 may look like. Flypmedia.com is one site that I love, as it combines written words with audio, video and interactive information graphics in a format similar to a magazine that you can “flyp” through.

Another exciting site is Vook.com.

Vook combines the traditional written word with videos for each chapter. The company offers two versions, an online platform and a mobile version available on Apple iTunes store. I downloaded a recent bestseller and was amazed at how easy it was to read on my iPod Touch and loved the bonus video content. The best part was, instead of $25 at the bookstore, it was only $6.99, which made it an instant impulse buy.

Now enters Apple’s new tablet computer. Since company officials are masters at keeping everything secret until their products are released, little is actually known for sure about the device.

Some of the bigger tech sources on the web suggest that it will have about a 25-centimetre screen and a touch interface similar to the wildly popular iPhone/iPod Touch. It will also have book reader abilities like Kindle, but with all the photography, graphics and multimedia the web can provide.

If you’re in the publishing business, you have to think this is going to be a game changer — the prospect of your readers once again sitting back and flipping through your nicely designed page with large photos and video, plus the ability to interact with your readers in new ways.

An added bonus: the high costs of printing and distribution will be reduced to almost zero.

Newspapers that were struggling to make money with their online product will now be able to harness the power of Apple’s iTunes store and sell monthly subscriptions there. It also allows papers to reach readers outside each business’s traditional boundaries of provinces and state lines.

If your content is good, people will buy it.

her is something else to consider:

Keyword prices will not come down. The beautiful thing about keyword auctions, as the lifeblood of online business activity, is that you can always find somebody desperate enough to bid something for them. Even better, a non-transparent auction run by a cryptic algorithm incorporating a mysterious element called Quality Score always ensures that the maximum price will be paid for each term, benefiting the auction-operator. It’s just like Manhattan real estate, where values magically rise even as prices in the rest of the country plummet. So in 2009, even as e-marketers shrink, consolidate, or go out of business, and stressed business owners fight desperately for visibility, there will be no “deals” for keywords, except on search engines that nobody uses. Trust me on this one.

Ataraxia (ἀταραξία “tranquillity”) is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation.

For the Epicureans, ataraxia was synonymous with the only true happiness possible for a person. It signifies the state of robust tranquility that derives from eschewing faith in an afterlife, not fearing the gods because they are distant and unconcerned with us, avoiding politics and vexatious people, surrounding oneself with trustworthy and affectionate friends and, most importantly, being an affectionate, virtuous person, worthy of trust.

For the Pyrrhonians, owing to one’s inability to say which sense impressions are true and which ones are false, it is the quietude that arises from suspending judgment on dogmatic beliefs or anything non-evident and continuing to inquire. The experience was said to have fallen on the painter Apelles who was trying to paint the foamy saliva of a horse. He was so unsuccessful that, in a rage, he gave up and threw the sponge he was cleaning his brushes with at the medium, thus producing the effect of the horse’s foam.[1]

The Stoics, too, sought mental tranquility, and saw ataraxia as something to be desired and often made use of the term, but for them the analogous state, attained by the Stoic sage, was apatheia or absence of passion.[2]

This is the disorder that character Slevin Cabrera claims on “Lucky Number Slevin”

ataraxic people perform these similar symptoms :

Not taking things too seriously. Avoid complexity. And always think they can handle anything.
Complexity is one of the major things that they avoid in life. They cherish simplicity more than anything else.

Vagisil unveils new “Home Vaginal Stink Meter Kit”

Vagisil introduced it’s new “Home Vaginal Stink Meter Kit”, it was reported Wednesday.

“This is really an innovation in home vaginal stink detection,” Vagisil Rep. Rebecca Gosch said during a phone interview.

“Vagina odor detection has rocketed into the 21st century with our new product. We here at Vagisil are thrilled!”

The new Home Vaginal Stink Meter Kit works by swabbing the inside of your vagina with a specially coated “stink stick”. After 3 minutes your level of vaginal odor can be matched to a color chart that corresponds to your stink level.

“I swore I could smell a dirty sock,” claimed one user, “but boy was I surprised when the stink meter told me I was closer to anhydrous ammonia.”

Ms. Gosch ended the phone interview by stating, “Man dreamed of flight once… And watched it come true. Man dreamed of a device that; when powered up, could provide light to light up our houses and cities, and yes; man dreamed of one day, being able to stick a sharp plastic applicator – up your vagina – pull it out and wait a few minutes – and then compare the color on the applicator to a pre-printed color chart – to tell how bad your vagina odor was.”

Supreme Court

Tells Women to Bend Over

Listen up girls, the Supremes have made it official– being nice is not really the way to go. I may have to burn my bra.

If you’ve been working a while, and get a sense there may be some disparity in the way you are being treated or paid –don’t give the blokes the benefit of the doubt–you have to trot down and file a discrimination claim. Otherwise you be fucked.

The Supreme Court has ruled if there is a disparity in the amount women and the guys are being paid they must file a claim within one hundred and eighty days or the claim is lost forever.

So I guess it is best you go around and ask all of your fellow employees for copies of their pay stubs. But if you’ve been working at the same place for a while, and never bothered to make this typical request, too bad . Just bend over. Oh that’s right–you’re already in that ladylike position.

It would be fun to turn the tables:

Think Scalia would like that?

Many federal courts had taken the common sense approach the 180 day claim period in the law started anew at each pay period. But not the top court.

The issue arose out of the claim of a woman who for twenty years was a supervisor in a Goodyear plant. She was the only female among a group of 16 management level employees. Because she was not snoopy, and did not want to file a legal claim just cos she thought Goodyear might be screwing her over, the claim is lost forever. And that sucks cos she has been underpaid the whole time she was employed there.

So no more being a nice girl and holding out waiting to see if there is a pattern of discrimination or any type of concrete proof. Maybe, since it is the rule women are generally not paid fairly and equally, they should just automatically file a claim each pay period.

Everyone is always, rightly, decrying frivolous lawsuits. But what can you do when judges persist in being boneheads?

This is also sexist BS. Its the usual thing of “show me the exact moment you were discriminated against.” And then, in the absence of a defining moment like a chase around the office desk, the boys come back “you women–just always want to bitch and moan.”

I best remove my panties now.

They’re thoroughly knotted up.

More than 30 years ago during one of our first visits to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, while browsing through a small souvenir shop, we noticed a handful of small black objects high on a back corner shelf. They were covered with dust and obviously hadn’t been touched for years. We asked the owner of the tienda what they were and he indicated that they were obsidian artifacts; insinuating that they were very old and that obsidian was quite rare and virtually approaching extinction. Since this was the first time we had ever seen obsidian and being quite naïve, we thought they might be a good investment as well as nice conversation pieces, so we bought all he had; probably at his asking price!

Before we learn about obsidian, we ask exactly what are artifacts? Archaeologists define artifacts as objects such as pottery, jewelry, weapons, projectile points, tools, ritual items, etc. that were made or modified by humans of prior cultures. In our minds, that meant that the small figurines that we bought were hundreds, if not thousands of years old and made of a very rare and unusual glimmering black glass-like material. Wow, what a find!
Orbitz A&S Banner – Family (300×250)

Okay, let’s determine what obsidian is and how it’s formed. On the other hand, let’s first define what it’s not; it’s not a mineral because all minerals are crystalline and obsidian is not crystalline! Obsidian is sometimes classified as a mineraloid, however its composition is too complex to be a single mineral. Obsidian is actually a naturally occurring translucent glass formed as rapidly cooled rhyolite lava is extruded from an active volcano. The flowing lava is usually quenched in the presence of water, causing it to freeze so fast that the time required for crystal growth is lacking. These obsidian flows consist of glass usually containing more than 70% silicon dioxide. Very seldom is the obsidian colorless; most often it’s very dark or black due to impurities such as magnetite and hematite, both being iron oxide variations. Other impurities such as magnesium and titanium oxides may give it colors ranging from brown to green, while very fine gas bubbles or other inclusions create a myriad of beautiful colors and sheens.

Next, where do we find obsidian? Obsidian is located in a number of regions throughout the world; basically anywhere there is a volcano in the vicinity of water. In Mexico, the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt extends from Puerto Vallarta on Banderas Bay in the state of Jalisco all the way across the country to the Gulf of Mexico. Deposits of obsidian are present throughout this entire region with some of the most significant being in the state of Jalisco, within a hundred miles of Vallarta. A region referred to as the Tequila Valley, located in the Magdalena and La Vega lake basins near the city of Teuchitlan, Jalisco, is the location of the 9,600 feet above sea level Tequila Volcano, which last erupted about 200,000 years ago. Now we know that our friendly tienda owner wasn’t completely wrong when he told us that our prized souvenirs were old; at least the obsidian they were made of was old!

Obsidian, called itztli in the Nahuatl language, has been found at nearly every Mesoamerican archaeological site and can easily be dated and traced back to its place of origin. One such site in Jalisco is located in the Teuchitlan (in the Nahuatl language means the place of the first God) area which was the home of a pre-Hispanic civilization with approximately 25,000 to 50,000 inhabitants more than 2,000 years ago. This mysterious civilization which lasted until about 1,000 years ago was neither Aztec, Toltec, nor Maya. In fact, to this day, no one knows for sure who they were. The economy of this ancient metropolis, referred to as the Guachimontes site, was built on mining, working, and trading in obsidian, one of the most precious materials in early Mesoamerica. Obsidian was revered by ancient cultures and was one of the major barter materials, prized for its ability to be worked to razor-sharp edges for arrows and spears. Due to the low bulk of obsidian in transport and the resulting large quantity of useful items that could be produced from a small amount of material, it required less effort in trade which in turn contributed to obsidian’s widespread use. For many centuries, Teuchitlan was the cultural center of western Mexico with a trade network along a coastal route extending from Guatemala to Arizona.

The ancient Guachimontes site consists of a number of unusual circular shaped pyramids, each with a shaft tomb. Since discovering the site in 1970 and starting formal exploration in 1999, archaeologists excavating the shaft tombs have recovered a tremendous number of obsidian artifacts including tools, weapons, jewelry, ritualistic pieces, figurines, masks, and even mirrors. This newly discovered site is of such significance that on July 12, 2006, it was added to the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee of Unesco. It is in a region rich in mineral wealth and obsidian and is well worth the 10 hour day tour from Vallarta. Obviously, the items that we bought 30 years ago were not from this site since excavation had not yet begun at that time!

Obsidian is said to have healing properties, protecting the very sensitive from depression and blocking negativity of any kind. Some also claim that it is the stone of the soft and gentle hearted people of the world. More importantly, it is currently being used in cardiac surgery, as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels, with the edge of the blade being only about 3 nanometers wide. Fabrication of these instruments is possible due to the fact that obsidian has no crystalline structure and can therefore be honed down to its molecular size.

Today, you can find beautiful, highly polished copies of the ancient masks, ritual items, animal figurines, jewelry, etc. in every dark color imaginable and in just about every store in Vallarta. They make wonderful gifts and display pieces as reminders of your visit to PV; just don’t represent them as being rare Mexican artifacts! Perhaps we didn’t obtain the last of the obsidian artifacts 30 years ago, but at $3.00 each, one could say that we got what we paid for!

The conclusion to “Batgirl Rising” begins here with part one of the four-part “Flood” storyline! A string of bizarre, technology-based “suicides” gets the attention of both Batgirl and Oracle, but for very different reasons. And the two heroes will soon realize that they’re the real targets of a nefarious madman Hell-bent on revenge…

EXCLUSIVE: PART 2 of the HERO COMPLEX INTERVIEW

This is the second part of my interview with Oscar-winning director James Cameron, who is (finally) bringing the world his years-in-the-making sci-fi epic “Avatar.” Today he explains why the film might be rightly considered “Dances with Wolves” in space and he shares his opinion of recent special-effects blockbusters — he thought “Star Trek” absolutely rocked but “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” well, uh, not so much. He also teaches me a new word.

(READ PART 1)

At Play in the Fields of the Lord GB: With this movie, it feels like a classic going-native film, if that doesn’t sound too flippant. In the half-hour of footage I saw I was reminded at certain points of “Farewell to the King,” “A Man Called Horse” and “At Play in the Fields of the Lord.”

JC: Yeah, yeah, “At Play in the Fields of the Lord” was among the videos that I used as a reference. Yeah, absolutely. Tom Berenger did some real interesting stuff in that film.

GB: There’s also maybe some heritage linking it to “Dances With Wolves,” considering your story here of a battered military man who finds something pure in an endangered tribal culture.

JC: Yes, exactly, it is very much like that. You see the same theme in “At Play in the Fields of the Lord” and also “The Emerald Forest,” which maybe thematically isn’t that connected but it did have that clash of civilizations or of cultures. That was another reference point for me. There was some beautiful stuff in that film. I just gathered all this stuff in and then you look at it through the lens of science fiction and it comes out looking very different but is still recognizable in a universal story way. It’s almost comfortable for the audience – “I know what kind of tale this is.” They’re not just sitting there scratching their heads, they’re enjoying it and being taken along. And we still have turns and surprises in it, too, things you don’t see coming. But the idea that you feel like you are in a classic story, a story that could have been shaped by Rudyard Kipling or Edgar Rice Burroughs.

GB: Or Joseph Conrad…?

Emerald Forest JC: Yes, exactly. And I think returning to classic tales is a powerful thing. Look, right now is a special time because we can basically do anything we imagine. I mean you have to work hard at it, and you’ve got to have the technique and you have to be willing to throw money at the problem. Sometimes you have to be a little bold and go out on a limb. But if you can imagine it, you can do it. That’s why we’re seeing this renaissance of visual imagination. It’s just a growth. Films look better now than they’ve ever looked. Sometimes they get a little lost in it though. I’ll go to a “Transformers” film for the fun of seeing the spectacle but, personally, my soul craves a little more story, a little more meat on the bone and characters and that sort of thing. Look, I think it’s about finding a balance between story and all of this gimmickry. I think I veer toward classicism, being solidly rooted in the classic stuff. I mean really old-school science fiction. This is a movie I would have loved to have seen when I was a 14-year-old kid in 1968.

GB: Well, certainly, that’s why it’s reassuring for anyone to see movies like “Star Trek” and “Up,” which might be my two favorite films this year, because both are examples of technology and craft achieving the fantastic but in service of great storytelling.

JC: Right, “Star Trek” — look at that. That is a great example of a complete reinvention. Really, it’s beautifully done, really. Bravo. And I loved the first season of “Star Trek” back in 1965 or 1966 or whenever it was, it grabbed me as a kid, but I drifted away from it over time. And this was such a great way to see it come back as re-imagined. What fun.

GB: In the footage I saw it seemed to me that you were able to present nuanced emotion in the faces of the alien tribe and the human avatars who walk among them. That’s vital, isn’t it? I mean we’ve seen movies where computer-created or computer-augmented visages seemed wooden or dead-faced.

Dances with Wolves poster JC: That was the biggest challenge of the film. No matter how much art and technology we threw at this thing, if it wasn’t in the eyes of the characters – if you didn’t see a soul there – it would just be a big clanking machine. And I think that’s what people were responding to with … well I don’t want to throw a particular movie under the bus here, but let’s just say we’ve seen examples of motion-capture not quite getting it. It’s called the uncanny valley. We’ve seen movies never quite get out of the uncanny valley. That’s a reference to a negative effect that is created when something approaches human [in appearance] but isn’t quite there, it creates this creepiness. Our goal right from the get-go is that we had to get over the uncanny valley. These characters have to be real, they have to be alive. And what the actors do has to come through 100%. We didn’t want to get in and come back and muck around with a lot of key-framing where we would be animating over what the actors did. Our goal was a pure translation of the actors’ performance, at least as much as the physiology of that character allowed. The actors can’t act the tail, the actors can’t ears, so there is a layer of animation on top of what they are doing. But if I showed you the reference video track of what [lead actors] Zoe [Saldana] and Sam [Worthington] did, I think you’d be astonished at how closely it maps to the final performance that you see. I think it’s one-to-one. You know, and, we expected that maybe we’d get to 90%, maybe 95%, but I don’t think we dreamed that we’d get to 100%. But we did. There’s absolutely no diminishment.

GB: That’s pretty confident talk! I talked to your producing partner Jon Landau and he said that you guys were referring to the work here as emotion-capture, as opposed to motion-capture. It’s a catchy phrase if you guys can live up to it.

JC: We spent the first year and a half of the film – before we were truly green-lit, but we were well-funded— developing the facial performance capture system and the pipeline that would see it through to completion. We even did an end-to-end test where we captured scenes and took them out to the final photo-real record just so we understood the process. And it’s a tribute to how much Weta Digital down in New Zealand has been able to evolve the state of the art beyond their own expectations at the beginning of the film. In fact we’re seeing a difference now between some of the first stuff they turned in a year ago and what we’re getting now. What we’re getting now is actually better.

GB: Your reputation is as a perfectionist, does that mean you need to re-do some early stuff?

JC: No I don’t think you’ll ever feel the diminishment as you go through the movie. But we’ll see a scene that was an earlier scene in process and they look great, but a newer stuff is stunning. And that stuff we haven’t even showed anyone yet. We’re just getting it in now. I’m about to head over to a Weta review right now, I’ll probably spend the next four hours in there reviewing stuff, and I look forward to it every day. When we unpack these shots, sometimes our jaws just drop at the verisimilitude to the actors. And that’s what thrills me most. I’m kind of over all the design stuff. That was the first two years. I’m kind of used to that stuff now, the floating mountains and thousand-foot trees. But when I see Sam Worthington captured exactly at a critical-performance moment — that still gets me.

In establishing your knowledge and understanding of the Obsidian Sanctum (OS), it is a Raid Dungeon from World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. It is an area cut off from other players than those of the “raid group” in which the players face elite monsters or NPCs.

Wyrmrest Temple stands over the fractured path that cuts north through the icy Dragonblight. In a region engulfed by chaos, the temple has become a beacon of hope. Within this venerable structure, the Chamber of the Aspects holds entrances to five sacred domains, each representing a single dragonflight. According to legend, the Chamber of the Aspects is where the titans imbued the five Dragon Aspects with the power to nurture the budding world. To this day, four of the ancient dragonflights carry out their charge to watch over Azeroth. The chamber remains a trusted refuge, but an act of betrayal haunts the sanctuary, an act that forever altered the destiny of the Dragon Aspects.

More than ten thousand years ago, the leader of the black dragonflight, Neltharion, summoned the other Aspects and their flights to the chamber and convinced them all to bestow a portion of their essences upon a magical artifact called the Dragon Soul. He claimed he would use the Dragon Soul to end the Burning Legion’s invasion of Azeroth, but unbeknownst to his comrades, he did not infuse the artifact with his own essence. While battling the Legion, Neltharion revealed his true intentions and turned the Dragon Soul on his fellow dragons, who learned too late that Neltharion was no longer their ally. In that moment of treachery, Neltharion shattered the strength of the dragonflights, earning him the new name of Deathwing.

Deathwing’s goal was to dominate the other Dragon Aspects and, through them, the rest of Azeroth. Yet just as victory drew near, the Dragon Soul — now called the Demon Soul — was destroyed, releasing the lost energy of the other Aspects. Restored to full power, the enraged dragons drove Deathwing into hiding. Even so, the black dragons continued his foul work. Hated and hunted for its evil deeds, the black flight dwindled, and at first Deathwing schemed to bolster its ranks. In time, however, his agents began experimenting with other dragonflights to create a new and mightier breed of dragon.

The most troubling advances were made by Sinestra, Deathwing’s former consort. In the depths of Grim Batol, she managed to create the first few members of an incredibly powerful breed: the twilight dragons. In the course of her work, however, the resulting disturbances in and around Grim Batol attracted too much attention from the rest of Azeroth. The ensuing attack on Sinestra’s lair led to her demise and the end of her foul machinations.

During these events, Deathwing remained in hiding. His continued absence led many to assume that Sinestra had been acting alone at Grim Batol, but a recently discovered clutch of twilight eggs inside the Chamber of the Aspects has raised fears that Deathwing himself played a role in the creation of the malefic dragons. A powerful guardian, Sartharion, watches over the eggs within the black dragonflight’s volcanic chamber, the Obsidian Sanctum. If the rumors of Deathwing’s involvement are true, the dark future that he set into motion seems on the verge of plunging Azeroth into a new age…

An age of twilight.

There’s no achievement for this (as far as we know, though if Blizzard is listening, maybe we’ll see it in the next patch), but it’s still awesome. A guild called You Are So Dead on Kael’thas decided to run the first annual Obsidian Sanctum Death Derby , in which they tried to make it around Obsidian Sanctum on mounts without dying. As you can see, it’s quite a run — they didn’t aggro the middle boss until the very last lap, and the max run around without dying was about four laps (Paladins obviously had the speed and plate bonus, though a Warrior and a Mage also ended up among the winners, who all got 100g each).

Unfortunately, the video above was made with a cheap version of FRAPS, so as atomic645 says, you get all of the starts and almost none of the spectacular deaths. But they do plan to do the death race again (and maybe this is something you can try with your guild on the next OS run), so expect more video soon.

Ah, all we do for our entertainment

Goodluck
