    fashion challenge - girly results
    2008-04-25 20:44:00
    How pretty, how pretty, how pretty this post is!!!I asked you to come up with a girly look and you delivered! :)Our first model is K.This is a classic girly look: a delicate dress in soft colors - pink :) - flirty, flowy and romantic.Just add a sweet smile, and nobody will be able to resist you.Next on the runway is G.Her interpretation is of a modern girly: the focal point is still a pretty dress, but the shorter length symbolizes a cut with tradition (not as innocent, not as naive).And she traded the pink flowers for animal prints, giving the whole look a more aggressive tone.She is a woman, hear her roar! ;)Lastly, here is D.Her girly is the city girly.It's a girly that knows how to be girly without getting too girly.It's a working girly. It's a busy girly. A practical girly, if you will.What I find fascinating about these three pictures, is the fact that the poses (especially the arms) are perfectly in tune with the looks.Thank you so much for sending in such beautiful pictur

    fashion challenge 2 - results
    2008-04-18 21:59:00
    I asked you to: Dress up your jeans. Wear your favorite pair of blue jeans, and then dress them up so that the resulting outfit is something you could wear to a fancy night out.Here Getri is keeping it very simple: tight jeans, a tank top, and a pair of sexy stilettos. She also has pretty earrings on but you can't really see them.Notice how even though I said blue jeans, she picked a pair of black ones. They are definitely easier to dress up than blue ones, because they can pass for regular pants, and you have the added benefit of "jeans fit".Getri did the right thing: forced to pick jeans for a fancier occasion, she steered away from the blue ones; but I would have gone a little "crazier" on the top.So I tried the "blue" jeans.What I did different than Getri was to wear a more elaborate top and to add more accessories, in the form of sparkling necklace, watch and earrings.Then I wore matching red shoes and I put my hair up, for more of a "fancy" look.The end result is for a night out,

    Andebol - ABC vence Belenenses no 1ª jogo das Meias-finais da Liga Halcom. Benfica afastado da final da Taça Challenge pelo Resita
    2008-04-14 08:37:00
    Taça Challenge (2º mão das Meias-finais)Benfica acaba afastado da final de forma inglóriaO Benfica não conseguiu segurar a vantagem de cinco golos com que partiu para a Roménia e foi derrotado, frente ao Sport Resita, por 32-25, um resultado que afastou os benfiquistas da final da Taça Challenge onde estarão agora os austríacos do Alpla HC Hard e os romenos que são os detentores do troféu.Ao intervalo o marcador registava um 17-12 a favor dos romenos, e no segundo tempo acabaria por se perder a vantagem de 5 golos que vinha da primeira mão em na Luz, acabando o benfica por perder por uns inglórios 32-25. Na primeira mão fez-se referencia que os erros da dupla de arbritagem checa poderiam ter significado no contexto global da eliminatória, e tal veio a confirmar-se. O Benfica na segunda mão na Roménia acabou por não conseguir segurar a vantagem ganha no 1º encontro, e falhou bastante na finalização, sendo que o facto de Zaikin ainda não poder ter dado o seu contrib

    2008-04-11 20:59:00
    The "Fashion Challenge" results are in:I asked you to pick two different colors (skipping the neutrals) and pairing them to create an harmonious look.Here is Dee wearing pink and brown. An excellent choice!Since her pink is bright, it brings vitality to the brown. The two color complement each other without clashing.Truth about this challenge is that you can't pair any two colors and always be successful. There are some pairs that definitely work better together than others.Pink and brown is a successful pair.And here I'm wearing another winning combination: red and blue.Lovely lipstick, isn't it? ;)Another thing to notice when pairing different colors is to try and balance them out if necessary.The shiny red of the skirt was a bit "loud", so not only I picked a blue top, but I also made sure that it was simple, non-shiny (!), and that it would tone the whole outfit down a notch.

    Brittle Diabetes Treatment Challenge In Many Ways
    2008-03-31 15:24:37
    Brittle diabetes treatment is fully discussed in the Annals of Endocrinology published in Paris. Lille University Hospital's Endocrinology and Metabolism Department reported this under the title Management Strategies for Brittle Diabetes. With the advent of SMBG (self monitoring of blood glucose), the term brittle diabetes treatment is not often heard although we still know it as the roller coaster swings of the blood glucose level. Although now rare, the few with type 1 diabetes have to live with this condition. That said, it is not the end of the world; it is just a challenge one has to meet. The key to achieving a blood glucose level to as normal target as possible without severe hypoglycemia is lifestyle. It is all about consistency in lifestyle, in carbohydrate intake, and insulin injections and exercise. If all the aforementioned are constant, chances are the blood sugar level will be stable. While brittle diabetes and so its treatment is sometimes not attended to except for hypo

    On 3 March 2008, in a popular TV show, Sanal Edamaruku, the president of Rationalist International, challenged India’s most “powerful” tantrik (black magician) to demonstrate his powers on him. That was the beginning of an unprecedented experiment. After all his chanting of mantra (magic words) and ceremonies of tantra failed, the tantrik decided to kill Sanal Edamaruku with the “ultimate destruction ceremony” on live TV. Sanal Edamaruku agreed and sat in the altar of the black magic ritual. India TV observed skyrocketing viewership rates. read more

    Actualidade AndebolisticaNuma altura em que os campeonatos estão quase todos parados, onde os atletas estiveram em trabalhos de selecção, a competição existente, deveu-se aos inúmeros torneios de formação por todo o país, com destaque para os torneios de São João da Madeira, Nazaré e Leiria.Selecções Nacionais - Torneio Paris-BercyA Selecção Nacional A, esteve presente num dos mais importantes torneios internacionais, o Torneio Paris-Bercy classificando-se em 4º classificado, perdendo com a França e com a Grécia para o 3º e 4º, nenhum dos jogos foram de resultado desnivelado, embora seja uma “vitória moral”, temos que convir que a selecção estava completa, e que os jogadores que foram chamados (Nuno Grilo e Cláudio Pedroso) revelaram qualidade suficiente para se assumirem como apostas de futuro. Torneio que viria a ser ganho uma vez mais pela equipa gaulesa, com toda a justiça numa final bem disputada e de pavilhão praticamente cheio, num ambiente de gran

    How to Challenge Global Warming
    2008-03-18 09:10:24
    It is almost unavoidable to live in this era and not hear anything about global warming. On the other hand, there are still a lot of people who have not got a clue about what global warming is and what steps they can take to prevent it.What comes to everybody's mind is: Why is global warming happening? Human beings have been increasing the use of fossil fuels in order to heat their homes, run their cars and also their factories. The burning of fossil fuels leads to the creation of gases and chemicals, called greenhouse gases, which are collected in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket. They stay in earth's atmosphere for many years. This massive air pollution which really is like a thickening blanket traps the heat of the sun and causes the planet to warm up. There exist some specific gases which are used in refrigerators and spray cans that can add to the collection of the gases already mentioned.Another thing people have done over years is cutting down trees in rain forests.

    Finally! I am a Daring Baker! And for my first challenge - it's Julia Child's French Bread. Fifteen pages of recipe and I've only baked bread once before. I even went to our country house, cause that's where the good oven is. I calculated that if I started at 2 am the bread would probably finished at around noon and I'll have good light for taking pictures. But, alas, the outside temperature was -7°C, and maintaining proper room temperature using stove was extremely difficult. So, naturally, I had problems with the rises. But bread tasted great, it reminded me of Bosnian somun. After I came back to Belgrade I gave it another try. For the recipe visit this month's hosts Mary and Sara.

    Design Challenge: Expand the Gaming Audience to Include Fido - SendMeRSS
    2008-02-22 02:18:45
    Design Challenge: Expand the Gaming Audience to Include Fido SAN FRANCISCO -- At this year's Game Design Challenge, three game industry veterans answered the question, "What do you get if you cross a dolphin, a dog, and some bacteria with a videogame?" The Game Design Challenge, now in its fifth year, tasks three designers with creating a game that fits a set of criteria that's usually a humorous take on a current topic in the gaming community. This year's challenge, to create an inter-species game, is a "riff on opening up new markets," such as the casual gaming audience. The trio of veteran designers tackling the challenge this year were Brenda Brathwaite, who's perhaps more famous for her interest in sex in videogames than for her work on Wizardry; Steve Meretzky,  now a senior designer at Blue Fang, but one of my personal heroes for his work on games like Leather Goddesses of Phobos and Planetfall; and returning Design Challenge champion Alexey Pa

    Court Declines to Hear Challenge to Cities Taxing Beyond Their Borders
    2008-02-19 00:00:00
    The U.S. Supreme Court today declined to hear a case involving the taxation of a Michigan business in Washington State. The case, Ford Motor Co. v. City of Seattle, involved $1.7 million in taxes charged by the cities of Seattle and Tacoma on the Ford Motor Co., for its sales to dealers located in Washington State. Although only most of Ford's wholesale activity occurred outside Seattle and Tacoma, the two cities assessed taxes on 100 percent of the sales.The Washington Supreme Court had narrowly ruled for the cities. That decision allowed municipalities to reach into the coffers of out-of-state businesses, by permitting them to collect local sales tax on Ford's Michigan sales to dealers. The state supreme court ignored the long-established rule that business activity cannot be taxed unless there it reaches a minimum level of nexus.Four justices on the lower court disagreed with the ruling, in a dissent authored by Justice Richard Sanders. He wrote that because transfer of title o

    Sri Lankan Nation, are we ready for the challenge?
    2008-02-18 00:17:34
    As we all expected LTTE terrorists have unleashed the final round of terror in the Sri Lankan society. LTTE is no longer a strong military out fit with own rule, autonomy and territory rather it is now consisted of isolated and frustrated carders without any direction or vision. In the recent past, the LTTE terrorists have lost quite a number of their top ranked leaders ranging from those affiliated to military operations to intelligence. Recently, their Eastern province leader was killed not in the battle field or a terrorist hide out, but in a camp for displaced. This clearly shows the misery and disarray of terrorist in North and East. Just like a flame glitter more just before it is to be put out, isolated LTTE carders have intensified its terrorist activities. Defeated terrorists are no longer capable of fighting with security forces in the battle field. Therefore, now their only mode of operation is coward attack on civilians with hide and running.Leadership mattersLTTE managed t

He's a truly great talent."He is the only one who can challenge Tiger Woods in the next four or five years."He's the only one I see of the young players with all the things it takes to get close to Tiger Woods," Harmon told Sky Television's Golf Night program.World number five Scott showed his class last month when he fired a record final round of 11-under-par 61 to romp to a three-shot victory in the Euro

    Eighteen months after launching its first digital SLR system, Sony says it is preparing to take on Canon and Nikon with a pro camera.The as-yet unnamed Alpha camera will feature a 24.6 million pixel full-frame CMOS image sensor, dubbed 'Exmor', designed by Sony and fitted with its Super SteadyShot technology.A prototype of the camera was officially presented at last week's PMA show in Las Vegas, and is expected in UK stores by the end of the year, possibly making its debut at the Photokina trade show in Cologne this autumn.To complement the new flagship camera, Sony is also developing an optional vertical grip and a pro flash gun.A day prior to the announcement, Sony has sent out a briefing about a new 35mm full-size CMOS sensor with 24.81 effective million pixels, and a high signal conversion speed. The sensor utilises Sony's column-parallel A/D conversion technology, which provides each column within the sensor with its own A/D converter, effectively reducing image degradation during

    The challenge of defeating the political wing of LTTE separatism
    2008-01-28 00:31:59
    Until 2006, there have been number of people ruling our country whereas it was one supreme self appointed leader in the enemy side in the North. The leaders in the south had many issues to tackle, but Piripaharan had one mission and it is to defend their Ealam territory by military means. When it comes to elections, people in the south were divided in different political ideologies and their focus was often diverted from the core burning issue of terrorism by those who strategically manipulating the media. The political front of Ealam seperatismOnce LTTE got hold the full control of North and Eastern provinces in the post Indo-Lanka peace accord era, LTTE had very little effort in military front. Their next main focus was to inroad into politics in South and to convert their military victories into political means. They were ably supported by the international community which was completely misled by pro separatist media campaigns in the Western world.When the south was burning in 88/8

    The challenge from Private bus mafia
    2008-01-25 04:28:30
    When Mervin Silva secured the last place in preferential vote list in UPFA from Colombo district, it was none other than Gamunu Wijayarthna , the president of Private Bus Owners Association who secured the same position in the UNP list . Both these characters were rejected by the people of this country; however their influence on society has not yet been fully seized. While Mervin managed to sneak into the parliament in the back doer and continued to threaten the civil society and public institutions using his political power, Gamunu Wijayarthna continued to hold the chair of Private Bus Owners Association and threaten the innocent commuters of the country.Who is trying to benefit the war?The private bus owners have yet again threatened the government and indirectly the public on another bus strike. This time they have gone one step further and stated that they will not publish the date of strike in advance. This surprising statement came after they were allowed on large scaled bus fair hike in latter part of last year. The reason given this time is the lower number of commuters due to terrorist threats resulting low income for the industry. There are frequent media reports pointing different people trying to make war for their living. This is clearly an instance where private bus mafia is trying to cash in showing the terrorists threats! Interestingly they have proposed a solution for that and it is to temporarily discontinue fining the private bus drivers for offences.Terrorism in many facesThis clearly shows that it is not only terrorism based on separatism in North, but Sri Lankan society is covered with many forms of terrorism. While the government is fighting against the LTTE terrorism and trying preserving the law and order of the country, the terrorism of private bus mafia is trying to cash in the insecurity of the country and demanding removing of law imposed on them. Both these culprits are striving for a society devoid of law and order where they can bene

    National Body Challenge
    2008-01-14 05:20:00
    I was setting on my duff, glued to my TV and what pops up? An ad for the Discovery Channel’s National Body Challenge. I need to say that I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to televised weight loss anything. Other than the Biggest Loser, I tune it all out. Maybe it was the word “challenge” that peaked my interest, but I have done some digging about this program and this is what I have found. The Discovery Channel has teamed up with Bally Total Fitness to bring this challenge to the public. It is an absolutely FREE program that is available online and it’s entire purpose is to get the American public working on a healthier way of life. You have to register online by midnight on January 15 in order to get all of the yummy things they are offering to their members. Here is what you get when you register: An 8-week FREE membership to Bally Total Fitness Customized meal plans with over 1,000 kitchen-tested, nutritionist-approved recipes Progressive fitness plans, tailored for you by experts Diverse community of support to help you achieve your personal lifestyle goals Individualized weight and fitness trackers Video and interactive tools from fitness and weight loss professionals The 8 week membership to Bally’s is good from January 5 thru March 2, 2008. So if you register, you have missed out on a week already but 7 weeks is still a great bonus, is it not? When you register on the site, you can set up your own fitness profile. I did mine on Sunday. I answered a few simple questions about my body and my activity level and they gave me a day to day meal and exercise plan. It took me all of 10 minutes and then *poof* they spit out an entire plan for me to reach my 8 week goal. I realize that the plans they give you are generically set up based on the information that you input when you set up your profile, so reality is, they may not be worth the web page they are shown upon.  However, my thought is that even small chang
