Police Issue Public Warning After Two Robberies



In light of two recent robberies, HRM Partners in Policing are warning citizens, particularly gay men, to be cautious when meeting people in person whom they’ve originally met on-line.



The first robbery occurred on January 2 at 6:43 p.m. at Point Pleasant Park. A 35-year-old man picked up a man on Tower Road whom he had met on-line and drove to that location. Moments later, two additional men approached the vehicle, threatened the victim and demanded his money.

The victim complied and was not physically injured during the incident.

The main suspect in this case is described as a white man, approximately 20-years-old, with short dark hair and wearing a dark coat and black jeans.



The second robbery occurred last night at 6:39 p.m. in the area of Wellington Street and Lundy Lane in Halifax. A 29-year-old man picked up a man on Spring Garden Road whom he had met on-line and drove to the south end of Halifax. A few minutes later, several additional men approached the vehicle, claimed they had a knife, and stole the victim’s wallet and fled the area on foot. The victim was not physically injured during the incident. The main suspect is described as a white man, in his early twenties, 5'10", 170 lbs., wearing a dark jacket and orange hooded sweatshirt.



Investigators believe these incidents are connected, that the person whom the victim picks up is working with the other suspects and that they appear to be targeting gay men through the on-line dating website PlentyOfFish at this time.



All citizens are reminded to exercise caution when arranging to meet someone in person whom they know little about, regardless of the on-line dating service they use. People should select a well-lit, public location for the meeting where there are a lot of people around. If possible, they should tell a friend or family member(s) where they’re going, with who and when they’ll be back.



Anyone with information about these or any other similar incidents is asked to contact police at 490-5016 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca.

The Diary of a Foul Mouthed 11 Year Old makes it's way online.

You never know what you will find, that's why when I find something interesting I ALWAYS read the comments, more often than not you get a bunch of crap that results in someone calling someone names or something just as silly. FYI Name calling and being a jerk online is dumb. If you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yer self, no one else needs your poison.

Anyway, today I was reading about the difference between a journal and Diary, the debate continues as people express their views, but, I found this comment, which lead me to this blog. Here's the story...

"In 2010, at Ben's 29th Birthday Party, his puny wimpy little brother Oliver announced that he had discovered Ben's top secret diary. From 1993. When Ben was just 11 years old.




To Ben's embarrassment it was read out to his peers, resulting in fits of hysterics and laughter.



But afterwards we realised this was more than just funny. This was an important document, that any boy born in the 1980s will relate to. 1993 was a time before the internet... a time before mobile phones... a time of Super Nintendos... a time of holidays in Devon... a time when kissing a girl was amazing enough, and a time before we started masturbating.



For nostalgia we reproduce Ben's diary here, so you can join us in our memories of being 11."

Here's the link, be forewarned, there is foul language, there may even be entries that raise your eyebrows, but it is an unedited look back. Here is the link

Detox give your body a chance to start over. *Taken from the Feel Good Store in Saint John New Brunswick*

1. Drink lots of water. Then drink more.

2. Eat lots of fresh raw organic fruits and veggies. They're nature's scrub brush!

3. Get lots of sleep. Your body does some of its best work while you're dreaming.

4. Get out and get moving. Once of the best ways to detox your body is to sweat the toxins out. In fact, many heavy metals are best detoxed by sweating them out.

5. Dry brush! A good body brushing is great for clearing off dead skin and letting the good stuff breathe and improving circulation.

6. Cut out or cut back processed foods, refined sugars, large amounts of red meat and dairy. We had lots of decadence over the holiday season. We can some time off from it.

7. How about a relaxing soak in a salt bath. Sea salt, epsom salts, himalayan salts - great skin and muscle detoxifiers. Plus its freezing out. Why wouldn't you want to climb in a nice hot bath!

8. Try some herbs to help you along. Milk thistle, dandelion, nettle, ginger, licorice root, burdock root, marshmallow... We've got a great Lalma detox tea that's a great herbal blend to help you along.

9. Detox your house. How about a good declutter to start the year. You'd be surprised how much weight you can lift off your shoulders from this one act.

10. Detox your mind. Maybe now is the time to start meditating, journalling, write your personal mission statement, make a list of goals, set your priorities for the year and take care of you.

How to look great in every photo! Via realsimple.com

You don't have to look perfect to take a perfect picture. "The most photogenic people are not necessarily the most attractive," says wedding photographer Denis Reggie. "They're just not intimidated by the camera." How do you overcome intimidation? Whether you're nervous about wrinkles or a double chin, the following eight tips will make solving photo issues a snap.

APPEAR LESS POSED "Engage the photographer in a conversation about some topic you both may find of interest," says Los Angeles-based head-shot photographer Michael Calas. If your mind is focused on something other than the photo, you'll appear less rigid. You can also lean against something, interact with a pet or a child, or intertwine your arms with someone else's. Also, never keep your hands right by your sides, says Chuck DeLaney, dean of students at the New York Institute of Photography, in New York City. Clasp them in the front or in the back, or hold on to a glass or your eyeglasses to help relax your body.

FAKE FLAWLESS SKIN
Foundation and translucent powder are quick fixes, but it's equally important to get as much light on the face as possible. If you're indoors, pose near the closest light source, like a window. Also, use a flash inside and outside because "the light of the flash will bounce off the skin, illuminate it, and conceal facial imperfections," says Jim Janis, Walgreens photo-finishing specialist in Chandler, Arizona. Finally, make the most of your scenery. "Photographs taken on a white sandy beach or a snow-covered surface tend to be more flattering because the reflective qualities of those surfaces help de-emphasize wrinkles and pockmarks," says Reggie

AVOID DOUBLE CHIN

Pay attention to the camera position. "If the lens is at your eye level or above, you're in the right frame," says Calas. "If the lens is below your eye level, then you run the risk of looking like you have an extra chin." Bend your knees so you're at least on an even plane with the photographer (assuming it's not a full-body photo). If you're significantly taller than the photographer, sit in a chair and look up toward the camera. Finally, project your chin out an inch or so more than you normally would. You may feel a bit awkward, like a giraffe, but "you'll have a long, thin neck in the photo," says Suzy Drasnin Orduna, owner of the Beach Ambience Studio & Gallery, in Sag Harbor, New York.

KEEP EYES OPEN
Close your eyes and have the photographer count to three. On three, open them. "Works every time," says Janis. If you're outdoors, remember that noon is the worst time to take a photo, because that's when the sun is harshest and you're more likely to squint. Head out at 4 or 5 p.m., when the light is more amber.

MINIMIZE UNFAVORABLE FEATURES

Turn your head. Most people have asymmetrical features (for example, one eye is larger than the other or the right ear is a bit higher than the left). So DeLaney suggests posing with two-thirds of the face in view and the remaining third turned slightly away from the camera. That way, facial asymmetry is not as obvious. This particular angle also has a slimming effect, as it draws the eye up and down (forehead to chin), not left to right (eye to eye).

SHAKE THE DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS LOOK
Don't look straight into the lens. "Focus your eyes just above the lens instead of staring directly into the camera," says Patrick McMullen, a celebrity photographer and author of InTents (PowerHouse Books, $75, amazon.com). "I usually look past the lens, over the photographer's shoulder," says Miss Louisiana 2004 and first runner-up, Miss America 2005, Jennifer Dupont. "And show some personality. Sometimes all it takes is the slight raise of an eyebrow."

KEEP YOUR SMILE NATURAL
Don't say "cheese," which usually conjures an artificial smile. Instead, ask the photographer to throw out an unexpected word, like "money." This will usually elicit a genuine laugh, and your expression won't look forced. "I always think of something funny, like my disastrous attempts at cooking, to achieve a natural smile," says Dupont. "If you're self-conscious or critical of your smile, practicing before a photo shoot might be helpful, too."

PREVENT RED EYE
Avoid appearing possessed in your next photo by affixing your eyes on a lamp or the nearest light source right before the photo is taken. (Red-eye usually occurs in a dim room when the irises have opened up so much that the retinas, which are red with blood vessels, light up when the flash hits them.) When the pupils fix on something bright, they shrink, reducing the potential for red-eye.




PS

A couple of other tips I have found, include push your tongue to the roof of your mouth also helps to prevent a double chin, always have your arms away from your sides, it will make them and you appear thinner, never stand faceing the camera directly, always angle yourself away.

Bieber + Gomez + St. Lucia = Death Threats for Gomez? Fur Realz thou??

Okay, Bieber fans are insane. I remember being a fan of Howie from the Backstreet Boys, when I found out he was getting married, I was all like....damn.....and life went on. Chances are I would never meet Howie, chances are I may not even like him much if I did, it's disappointing when you meet your fav celebs, they almost never live up to what you expect, they also have to eat and get cranky and stuff like that, but with glossy magazines and big budget music videos and slick choreography, it's easy to forget they are not the picture of perfection we see.

Now with that said, someone needs to remind girls that Bieber is not their boyfriend and even if he was, death threats, not cool. It's SOOOO last year. So when pictures surfaced of Bieber and Selena Gomez made their way online...

Bieber fans took to Twitter and said....

"@selenagomez dont touch @justinbieber you are a b!tch i kill you selena stupid stud you always whit famous boys you are a very very b!tch"

REALLY?! Im not one to talk about Grammar and Spelling but COME ON!

Okay, now who ever spawned this child needs to take some action here. Imagine what this girl will be like when she grows up? Living in an apartment with one too many cats, and the entire apartment plastered with photos of the "Celebrity of the moment" I mean, it's cool to be fan of someone and be into whatever they do, but threatening a girlfriend of a boy you will never meet.....

Mom & Dad Delete this girls Twitter.....then again she very well could be a 45 year old woman, we are talking about the interweb of misinformation after all.

As far as Bieber and Gomez go, obviously they aren't getting married they are 16 years old. Sit tight. and Remember Britney and Justin.

What does Katy Perry Look Like In The Morning??

Her Hubby (Russel Brand) decided to share that with everyone on Twitter. Apparently Katy got p****d and Russel took the photo down, but not before it hit the Internet super highway. Annnnnnd Here it is....

Good Morning Babycakes!

Girl Never Ever compare yourself to celebrity beauty. under the photoshop, lighting, amazing hair and makeup people, stylists etc etc etc they look like us, and besides that they are all STARVING! So eat some cheesecake and don't feel bad if a crumb lands on the magazine, it's about as close as that celebrity gets to it.
