In my custom Tannoy cabs, I had a square cut out for the original L-Pad/crossover. Now that I went external and point to point, there's no need for that box to be there anymore, so I made covers to go over the old holes. I made them removable to make it easy to play with different amounts of polyfill, but if I torque the covers down, the speaker gasket tape adheres to both sides. I had to use a piece of wood and a mallet to remove them today. :rolleyes: Any suggestions on what I could use on the cabinet to prevent the tape from adhering to it? Or should I just go to home depot and pick up some cheap weatherstripping?
On another note, I started my first veneer job today. So far, so good. I must say, it's easier than I thought it would be. It's just a little scary laying the sheets down and knowing there's no room for error when using contact cement.

This 3-year-old male springer spaniel has a chronic history of facial tear staining and ocular discharge that is often purulent. The condition has been treated with topical and systemic antibiotics, topical and systemic antioxidants, as well as oral homeopathy, and it sometimes gets better but always relapses.
Given the history described, the fact that the ocular surface is normal, the presence of blood on the upper eyelid, and the structure present at that location, what procedure was just performed?
a) Implantation of a subpalpebral lavage system
b) Placement of a nasolacrimal catheter
c) Eyelid biopsy
d) Placement of a third eyelid flap

SANAA, Yemen A U.S. drone airstrike killed two al-Qaida militants Monday in a southern town, Yemeni security officials said, the latest in a years-long U.S. offensive against the branch the U.S. considers the violent extremists' most dangerous.
One of the dead was a midlevel al-Qaida Yemeni operative who escaped a U.S. drone attack 10 years ago, the officials said. The other was said to be a Jordanian.
They said the airstrike on Radda in Bayda province also critically injured three militants.
The Yemeni militant, Abdel-Raouf Naseeb, escaped death in the first recorded drone attack in Yemen, on Nov. 3, 2002. That strike killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, suspected of masterminding the October 2000 attack against the destroyer Cole in a Yemen port.
A member of the Naseeb family confirmed his death to The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity fearing government reprisal.
Al-Qaida in Yemen was behind several failed attacks in the U.S., including the 2009 "Christmas Day bombing" over Detroit, when a man on a passenger plane tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear.
Earlier this year, a band of al-Qaida militants captured Radda and raised the black al-Qaida flag over an ancient castle that overlooks the town. They also stormed the local jail and freed around 150 inmates, including an unspecified number loyal to al-Qaida. But tribal leaders eventually forced the militants out with the help of the Yemeni army.

12oz. bottle poured into a snifter. 2012 vintage.
**note my bottle stated this is 11.25%, not 13% as it says on this beer's profile page here**
(A)- Pours a hazy deep deep crimson red color; almost brown. Produced a light cap of froth, surprising considering the style and the ABV on this.
(S)- A very yeast-forward aroma. Big notes of bubblegum and a vanilla-like spicy wheat aroma. Interesting. Behind that are plenty of deep caramel and raisin bits.
(T)- Again, a large profile of a bubble gum-like yeast up front. Some middle palate sweetness of caramel and vanilla. Finishes yeasty as well with a subtle spicy wheat and sweet raisin characters.
(M)- A mellow carbonation level, but I have no complaints on that part. Overall, its a nice balance of what I think is quite a heavy yeast profile, but equally heavy in the malty sweetness. And at 11.25%, this is extremely well hidden and integrated.
(O)- Honestly, this is probably only the 3rd or 4th Eisbock I have ever had, but this one is really inviting on a cold winters day. Rich and sweet, but with its very bubble gum forward yeast profile, this is an intriguing take on the style based upon the others I have had. Kind of wish I had gotten a few more to see what time does to it.

Winter Wonder Lager has an alcohol content that eclipses most beers and, indeed, looks more like a cognac. It has a sleek and syrupy complexion and the colour of buckwheat honey. The sepia-tinted foam that formed off the pour melts away at a glacier pace...a glacier that is being viewed in time-lapse video. This Winter Wonder is quickly without any snow.
This beer is a literally a Rubik's Cube every time you take a sniff; the amount of flavours, the different combination of those flavours, the difference between those flavours - it's mind-blowing. Actually no it isn't - it's downright soothing; these aromas of butterscotch, dried fruits, and caramel malts provide a massage for the olfactory bulb.
The flavour unravels many more layers of this complex puzzle: raspberry-filled truffles, icewine-glazed pears, chocolate-covered raisins, bubblegum and bruised bananas. It sheds a whole new light on malt - who knew simple cereal grains were capable of all this? Naturally, yeast, alcohol, and probably hops too have provided a helping hand. Still, it's outstanding.
When I first had Winter Wonder Lager in 2007 it was listed as 15.5% alcohol - I didn't have any problems drinking it then and, at a "measly" 11.7%, I certainly don't have any now. Of course it's not the kind of lager you gulp down - something this rich and complex begs to be savoured - but it doesn't put up a fight going down, that's for sure.
Like the Winter Solstice, a beer like this comes along but once in a year. Kuhnhenn has a habit of making special (and rare) beers but Winter Wonder Lager continues to be one of my favourites in their portfolio. There's as few beers like this one as there are places to buy it; if you're ever in the Detroit area and happen to spot a bottle, don't pass on it!

Dad brought this one back from MI a couple summers ago. Cheers!
From a bottle into a snifter
Vintage: 2011
APPEARANCE: A muddy brown pour yields a slight wisp that vanishes almost immediately. Muddy, light brown body with no carbonation evident. The slight ring that remained after the pour disappears quickly as well and the beer is left looking pretty flat right away. Lousy looking and borderline ugly.
SMELL: Caramel, butterscotch aromas on the nose with some dark fruits and spicy alcohol as well.
TASTE: Bold flavors of butterscotch and dark fruits up front. Raisins and spicy alcohol notes into the swallow, leaving a bold and lingering finish of spicy booze, sweet dark fruits, caramel, with hints of bitterness as balance. Quite quad-like actually.
PALATE: Medium-full body with medium levels of carbonation. Quite creamy on the palate, goes down with a bit of a scratch and finishes sticky on the palate. Good feel.
OVERALL: A very flavorful and enjoyable higher ABV brew for sure. Not as hot as I had assumed it would be either. In the end, this is a good beer to sip on over an evening, which I gladly did. A better look would help make the experience more enjoyable, but that is a minor issue. Thanks again for the brews dad! Recommended.

12 ounce bottle into signature tulip glass, 2012 winter solstice bottling. Pours hazy deep ruby red color with a 1 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big raisin, cherry, apple, pear, apple skin, molasses, pepper, clove, coriander, caramel, toffee, toast, brown sugar, herbal, and earthy yeast spiciness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of huge sweet raisin, plum, cherry, pear, apple, molasses, caramel, toffee, pepper, clove, herbal, toast, brown sugar, light chocolate, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of dark and light fruits, caramel, toffee, molasses, toast, clove, herbal, light chocolate, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, balance, and robustness of malt and yeast ester flavors; with zero cloying sweetness after the finish surprisingly. Medium carbonation and very full bodied; with a very creamy, slick, and syrupy mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Doppelbock style! Huge complexity, balance, and robustness of flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Paillette-Embellished Pockets
The Inspiration
While some of you may remember that paillettes played a major role in Prada's F/W 11 collection, we should note that these iridescent, scale-like sequins have shimmied their way into the spotlight for spring and summer too! In fact, we've spotted them on everything from glamorous tops to slinky dresses, as well as party-perfect skirts! And seeing as Paltrow's paillette pockets landed her on the top of many a best-dressed list that evening, including our own, we jumped at this DIY opportunity. With Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This as our right-hand woman, we assembled a nifty Prada-inspired skirt that is bound to garner loads of attention, so read on for all of the need-to-know directions. Also, in celebration of tonight's premiere of TLC's new competition show, Craft Wars, judge Domesek has shared her five DIY essentials for summer, which you can see exclusively on our blog now!--Jessica Baker
American Apparel Jersey Pocket Skirt ($30)
-6mm Sequins ($4)
-20mm Paillettes ($6)
-Stapler ($8)
-Staples ($4)
-Needle & Thread
-Aleene's Tacky Glue ($5)
1. Place your skirt so that it lies completely flat on a sturdy surface. Using the multicolored paillettes and a stapler, secure each paillette to the skirt's pockets, starting at the bottom and working your way up to the top. Make sure to completely cover the pocket, alternate colors, and overlap as you go.
2. Once the entire pocket is covered with the paillettes, glue smaller sequins along the top of the pocket so that they cover the staples. Note: you can also scatter and glue small clusters of sequins on top of the paillettes for more texture. Wait approximately 20 minutes until the glue is completely dry.
3. Once the glue is completely dry, use a needle and thread to stitch some of the smaller sequins to the top of the pocket.

Leading tackler? Done. In a system benefiting other positions? Sure. While facing double teams? With ease. Then again, Isaiah Mack learned early in his life that some things wouldn't be easy but were still possible.
At a young age, the boy who has grown up to become Northwest Whitfield's star defensive lineman had to overcome a speech impediment. He didn't talk that much in class, and he hated being called on by his teacher.
Now he's sure not only of his ability to speak, but his skill at stopping opposing offenses.
As the anchor of the Bruins' defensive line, he did things no other area defensive tackle did this year, even though he probably had the most attention focused on neutralizing the threat he presented. Not many teams succeeded in slowing down — much less stopping — the 6-foot-2-inch, 235-pound junior this year on his way to a strong campaign in which he finished the regular season as the area's leading tackler with 136.5 stops. He set program records for tackles for loss in a season (26.5), single-game tackles (20) and single-game tackles for loss (nine).
For his achievements, Mack is The Daily Citizen's 2012 All-Area Football Player of the Year, as chosen by the paper's sports staff based on input from area coaches.
Mack, a first-time selection to the all-area lineup, admits he likes to speak in front of people now.
The only time he doesn't want to talk is when it's time to play football.
"Other than game day, he's probably the most pleasant kid to be around," said Northwest coach Josh Robinson, whose Bruins went 6-4 this year and were denied a state playoffs berth by a double-overtime loss to Gilmer in the final week. "I've got him in class and he doesn't talk very much on game days."
It isn't like when he was younger, afraid of what he couldn't say.
From first through third grade, Mack had trouble enunciating certain sounds, specifically one letter in the alphabet.
"I couldn't say anything with 'R.' I could barely say 'S,'" he said.
No child wants to be laughed at or made fun of, but it's almost inevitable, and particularly when classmates find something different that sets them apart. That resulted in Mack staying within his shell at school. He hated the teacher calling on him and having to speak in front of his peers.
"I think it could've worked to his benefit," Robinson said. "I've been a teacher for a while, and it can be very embarrassing for a kid with that. No one wants to get laughed at."
In time, Mack eliminated the constraint. He loved talking in class as he began progressing through elementary, middle and high school. He loves talking now, to teammates and friends. He's good at it, a well-spoken 17-year-old whom you would never guess once viewed a letter's sound similar to how a college freshman views a final-exam calculus equation.
"Once I hit fourth grade, I loved speaking in front of people," he said. "Sometimes you've just got to get over your fears if you want to get anywhere in life. ... I had my mom and my grandma help me. I think until I was in fifth or sixth grade, my grandma was out there teaching us. It was horrible. I won't lie, it was worse than school. But without her and my mom pushing me to learn how to talk, I couldn't be talking now."
That carried over to football, where Mack excelled despite any added challenges in what he called his "putting it all together" season.
"Next year is my curtain closing," Mack predicted.
Arguably the most eye-popping statistics are Mack's tackles and quarterback hurries. His 136.5 tackles came from the strong-side tackle position; 23 times he forced an early throw.
"Half of those (hurries) would be sacks, but they're fleeing out of the pocket," Robinson said. "The majority of time he would get the pass hurry and sack. Sometimes the quarterback was running for his life and would throw the ball away near a wide receiver or out of bounds and he wouldn't get the sack."
Add in 7.5 sacks and 26.5 tackles for loss, and it all equates to a season-long performance that caught the eye of coaches around Region 7-4A. Mack was named the league's defensive player of the year, with nine of the 11 votes going his way.
"I'd say looking back at our schedule, he was by far the most dominant defensive line player all year," said Southeast Whitfield coach Sean Gray, whose team lost 31-7 to the Bruins on Oct. 26 in Tunnel Hill.
"What made him good — well there's a lot that made him good — but he hustled. I know the night we played them he saved one touchdown for sure on a play that went away from him.
"The ball went away from him on a sweep, and he dove and made a play and tackled our tailback about 10 or 15 yards down the field. It for sure would've been a touchdown. You just don't see that out of an interior defensive player."
Robinson — who estimated that Mack went downfield at least five times this season to make a touchdown-saving tackle — said it's tough to imagine that Mack averaged almost 14 tackles per game just from looking at him. He's not as big as other linemen, and it used to be worse. Mack remembers when he first became interested in football and began playing in a recreation league, he was "a fat, pudgy kid with circle glasses." His best play was when he blocked for the running back all the way down the field, only to have the referee flag him because blocking down the field isn't allowed.
When he was a sophomore, he wasn't putting up the impressive numbers he turned in this year. He played around 200 snaps over the course of the season and tallied near 50 tackles. Robinson knew there was talent, but there also was a lot of stuff to work on.
"We knew he was good," Robinson said. "We knew he'd be good. I'd think we were lying if we thought he'd be this good."
The first two games of the season, against Pepperell and Pickens, set the tone. Mack recorded 14 and 14.5 tackles in each contest, respectively, with 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks combined. Only once this season — against Heritage-Catoosa — did he finish with a single-digit number of tackles in a game.
In that win against Southeast, Mack finished with only 11 tackles, including three for a loss — an average night for him.
"He stood out," Gray said. "It doesn't matter where the ball is going, he is making the play. ... He gave us fits all night."
Compare him to fellow defensive tackle Victor Lopez, who was an all-region first-team selection with four sacks and seven pass hurries. Mack had nearly twice as many sacks and three times as many pressures.
"We're comparing him to what in all the coaches' opinions is a really good football player," Robinson said.
For a linebacker, that stat line is great but not outlandish.
For a defensive tackle, especially in the Bruins' defensive scheme, it's unheard of.
"Our defense is set up for the linebackers and safeties to make plays," Robinson said. "None of our linebackers and safeties made that many tackles."
If that isn't enough of a challenge, he's often having to go one on two. Being the top defensive tackle, he gets the center and guard double-teaming him. That started "after about the second game on just about every single play for the rest of the year," Robinson said.
"He can make plays even when he's occupying two people. That's a big thing for our defense. When they have to take two to block one, in a numbers game that frees someone up."
On many occasions, the "someone" wasn't needed. Mack often used his surprising speed to make plays anywhere on the field — near the sidelines, in the secondary, anywhere.
"You can measure whether a defensive tackle is fast by whether he can get close to a jet sweep," Robinson said. "Well, he would tackle the jet sweep. He has one of the fastest 10-yard dashes on our football team.
"It was his ability to make plays in the backfield and down the field. It was like having another linebacker. He made tons of plays going back and catching up to someone."
Oh, don't forget about his poor sight.
Mack wears glasses, but not while playing. He doesn't wear contacts or goggles either. Sometimes he can't see the coaches' signals from the sideline.
It's another hindrance that might be too much for some.
"You've got to roll with the punches," Mack said. "If I want to play football, sometimes everything won't be (perfect)."
So he has to rely on his instincts. He has to read the offensive linemen and react quick enough — with his 4.9 40-yard dash speed — to make the play.
"That's what makes the reading part that much more amazing," Robinson said. "He has really overcome that."
Overcoming all these things is just part of a confidence that has been growing since he defeated his speech troubles.
"It teaches me that if you want something bad enough, the only one who will stop you from getting it is you," he said. "If I say, 'I'm going to be the best pass rusher,' I'm not saying it just so I don't back it up. If I say it, I'm going to be the best pass rusher. You will honestly have to stop me."
And if he wants to be the best tight end, he probably wouldn't be far from reaching that goal from the very start of his position switch. The same goes for almost any position on the field, because Mack thinks he can excel there, too.
"He begs me all the time, 'Can I play tight end?'" Robinson said. "He always tells me, 'I can play middle linebacker.' I tell him, 'I know you can, but we need you at defensive tackle.' He will play some tight end for us next year. We have to find out if he can catch.
"It's mostly a joke, but I promise you if we put him back there (at running back), he'll give everything he had."
In the year's biggest game, with the state playoffs on the line, the Bruins' hearts were broken by Gilmer in a Region 7-4A play-in game. Mack, however, had his premiere performance. He tallied a season-high 20 tackles in the game, nine for losses, plus three sacks.
"The reason Gilmer had such a hard time blocking him was he reads so well he could beat them on blocks, and then when they were pulling he'd beat them to wherever they pulled," Robinson said.
"I hope he plays a whole year like he did against Gilmer."
Luckily for Northwest, and unfortunately for his opponents, Mack will get the chance.
"I can tell you this: I'm already thinking about what we have to do next year with him," Gray said. "That's a long time away, but I'm already thinking about that."
Good luck, because from fourth grade on, nothing has stopped him.
Here's a look at the rest of The Daily Citizen's 2012 All-Area Football Team, as chosen by the newspaper's sports staff based on input from area coaches:
• Brady Swilling, North Murray, QB: As far as dual-threat quarterbacks go, no one was better.
The senior and third-year starter ran the Mountaineers' triple-option offense like a charm, with his 1,510 rushing yards on 164 carries — including 12 touchdowns — the area's best regular-season tally on the ground. It was also almost 400 yards more than the combined total for backfield mates Jacob Mays and Christian Bukle.
Swilling was also highly effective and efficient as a passer, throwing for 1,519 yards and 16 touchdowns with just seven interceptions. And he spread the wealth around, with no Mountaineers receiver gaining more than 500 yards.
No one else in the area had 1,500 yards each throwing and running; according to the staff of Georgia High School Football Daily, it's likely that no one else in the state did, either
This is his his first all-area appearance after earning honorable mention last season.
• Kelvis Rhodes, Dalton, RB: Just a sophomore, Rhodes was the legs that carried Dalton's running game through most of the year and into the state playoffs.
Rhodes was one of two area players — the other was Swilling — to rush for more than 1,000 yards this season. He averaged more than 6 yards per carry and 127.4 yards per game. The 5-foot-9-inch, 184-pound speedster with good lateral quickness to boot finished his first year as a starter with 1,529 yards and 18 touchdowns on 229 carries. He was the area's leading scorer, and he also had five receptions for 32 yards.
A first-team selection to this year's All-Region 7-4A team, this is Rhodes' first selection to the all-area team.
• Austin Lowe, Christian Heritage, FB: Fullbacks are most often thought of as lead blockers for the running back. But the junior was more than that for the Lions.
Lowe rushed for 662 yards on 104 carries, a 6.5 yards-per-carry average, and reached the end zone seven times. He also caught 13 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. In addition, he made a splash on defense as a linebacker. He recorded 87 tackles, recovered three fumbles, grabbed three interceptions and took one of them to the house.
An honorable mention last season, this is his first all-area nod.
• Nich Bartley, Christian Heritage, WR: The junior became one of quarterback Trevor Brown's two favorite targets, and he might be in that same role again next season.
Bartley nabbed 39 catches for 587 yards, both second in the area, narrowly beating out fellow Lions wideout Will Fischer. Of Brown's 17 touchdowns, nine went to Bartley. He also was the hero in what was arguably Christian Heritage's best win, a 28-27 comeback victory against Mt. Zion-Carroll. Bartley caught a 27-yard floater with 40 seconds left to give the Lions the lead for good.
This is Bartley's first appearance on the all-area team.
• Brandon Dale, Dalton, WR: When quarterback Cole Calfee dropped back to pass, opposing teams knew they better know where No. 20 was. Not only was Dale the Catamounts' primary receiving threat, he was also a speedy, shifty talent running the ball and returning kicks on special teams.

>If you can read this whole story about a Texas Chili Contest without laughing then there's no hope for you.
>Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park.
>Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL.
>Frank: "Recently, I was honoured to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".
>Here are the scorecard notes from the event:
>Judge # 1: A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2:
>Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank): Holy shit,
>what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your
>driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the
>worst one. These Texans are crazy.
>Judge # 1: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge # 2:
>Exciting BBQ flavor needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3:
>Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed
>to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give
>me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw
>the look on my face.
>Judge # 1: Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
>Judge # 2: A bit salty, good use of peppers.
>Judge # 3: Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels
>like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get
>me more beer before I ignite. The barmaid pounded me on the back, now my
>backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from
>all of the beer.
>Judge # 1: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge #
>2: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other
>mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge # 3: I felt something scraping
>across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out
>taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh
>refills. That 300-LB woman is starting to look HOT...just like this
>nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
>Judge # 1: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding
>considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2: Chili using shredded
>beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a
>strong statement. Judge # 3: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off
>my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people

>bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if
>I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges
>asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
>Judge # 1: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of

>onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge # 3: My intestines are now a straight

Return your keys
Before a friend's wedding reception, we passed out keys (blanks) to several girls and one guy. Before some toasts were made, the best man said to the guests, "Now that Jim is married and is no longer available, it is probably a good idea to have any of you girls out there with a key to his apartment to please turn it in now." Then the pre-selected girls (about thirty of them) slowly walked up and handed in their keys as they made bedroom-eyes at him and flirted a bit; some of the girls would turn in not just one key, but six or seven of them. Then the guy walked up, turned in the key, and kissed the groom on the cheek. It's probably not original, but it worked pretty well.

Re: Jokes...
Some of you ladies may have seen this, it's been around awhile... but that doesn't make it any less funny!
WAX is NOT your friend
CAUTION: Be prepared to laugh out loud... I laughed till I almost cried as I could just see this happening! (And I feel it too!)
All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal- The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair, and now... The wax.
My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.
It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.
No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out.
So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. (Cold wax, "yeah... Right!")
I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull.
It works!
Ok, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad.
I can do this!
Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With me next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship.
I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the one strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my *hoo-hoo* and stretching down to t he inside of my butt cheek.
(Yes, it was a long strip)
I inhale deeply and brace myself... RRRRIIIPPP!
I'm blind! Blinded from pain!... OH MY GOD!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP!
Another deep breathe and RRIIPP!
Everything is swirly and spotted.
I think I may pass out... Must stay conscious...
Do I hear crashing drums?
Breathe, breathe...
OK, back to normal.
I want to see my trophy- a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it.
I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it.
Where is the hair? WHERE IS THE WAX?
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet.
I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip.
I touch. I am touching wax.
I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, wh ich I s now covered in cold wax and matted hair.
Then I make the next BIG mistake... Remember my foot is still propped up on the toilet?
I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.
I hear the slamming of a cell door.
"hoo-hoo"? Sealed shut!
Butt? Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!"
What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water! Hot water melts wax!
I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right?
I get in the tub- the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment- I sit.
Now, the only th ing worse than having your nether regions glued together is having them glued together a n d then glued to the bottom of the tub.. In scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cement-epoxied myself to the porcelain!
God bless the man who had convinced me a few moths ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!
I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter- "So, my butt and who-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"
There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or who-ha?"
She's laughing out loud by now... I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box. YE AH! RIGHT! ! I should be the joke of someone else's night.
While we go through various solutions. I resort to scraping the wax off with a razor. Nothing feels better then to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.
My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace... The lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point?
I rub some on and OH MY GOD!
The scream probably woke the kids and scared the ens out of my friend.
It's so painful, but I really don't care.
"IT WORKS! It works!"
I get a hearty congratulations from my friend and she hangs up.
I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice t o my grief and despair... THE HAIR IS STILL THERE... ALL OF IT!
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.
I could have amputated my own leg at this point.
Next week I'm going to try hair color.... Now that's funny...... Notttt.

Some of you know what I been going through so, I wanted to give an update because, I have been very busy this past week. I went to the new pain management and they said they don't give meds on the first visit but, the Dr did give me another appointment in about 3 weeks from now. If he decides to take me as a patient he said he would like to get me on fentenyl patch and Norco for break through pain. Then when my pain is managed he will send me to PT to stregthen my muscles. He said the fentenyl patch will keep me on a more even pain relief and I wont need muscle relaxers. Personally I don't think the muscle relaxers work at all and the doc said they can be very addictive, I didn't know that. The doc said that he reccomended me see a Neurosurgeon and guess what???I had an appointment with the Neurosurgeon the next day.
The neurosurgeon took one look at my MRI's and said "Whos been treating you!!!" Your neck looks really bad and he said some other stuff about c this and c that. Then he ask me do I want him to fix it.. I said absolutely doc!!! So he wants me to get updated MRI and then we will compare and his office will schedual the surgery. I'm gonna do it, I am so tiered of the pain. I have no quality of life and nothing else has worked.
I am concerned about alot of things but, one thing I am really scared about is that I have a compulsion to crack my neck every few hours or so. I'm wondering if anyone has ever had surgery on their neck and are neck crackers and if I should be conserned after surgery. I might crack it out of whack lol...Anyways any comments, conserns, questions, or hellos welcome. Thanks....Lita
Yes,I can definatly relate!!!!
I have had very bad neck problems since probally starting in High school!Anyway,I had headaches in schooland in my 20's found out about the tumors growing on the nerves on my spine including my neck!
Anyway I always used to crack my neck alot!
In 2001 I had to have neck Surgery and Ii was worried about the exact same thing!For me during the Surgery they also did several Lamenectomy's!For some reason now <I can't crack my neck.I used to try!My surgen also told me No Chiropractors for me because of the tumors!
Hope that helped some, 77grace
I never went to a chiro, just did it myself...
"For some reason now <I can't crack my neck.I used to try"
I hope this happens to me. And now I'm wondering if I am gonna miss cracking my neck or feel the need and not be able to, that might drive me crazy lol
Thanks 77grace, Lita
GOOD thibg beause it isn't good for us!
So,what kind of neck surgery are you having??
Let me know and if you have any questions I might be able to help!!!
I had one herniated disc removed, and one herniated disc left alone, a year or so later on the advice of the same surgeon. I found no difference in the relief of pain. Function was better after the first surgery, as the surgeon said it would be.
My neurosurgeon said that getting pain relief had about a 50% chance of happening. He did not feel doing it for pain relief alone was a good idea. That was why he did not do surgery the second time, function was fine, it was the pain that was not fine.
Ask the surgeon who will be doing your neck how he feels about neck "cracking" after surgery. He can see your spine on film and knows just what you mean by "cracking" your neck.
Take care, Annette
I think it is an old wives' tale about getting arthritis in the joint later on.
I still crack my knuckles and my neck (before and after surgery). I think it really depends on exactly what kind of surgery you have on your neck. There are many types of cervical surgery.
Take care, Annette
As far as pain relief from surgery, I don't think one way or another. To be honest, I was hoping the surgery could help with pain and function. The only thing I know is that some ppl say it helps, some say it doesn't. My Mom had surgery on her back and 10 years later (Now) she says that it helped and she rarely has pain in her back anymore and she is a hair dresser (on her feet, bending over all the time).
If I could have a %50 percent chance of it helping my pain it would be well worth the try. Unfortunately something has come up and I will not be able to have it done....Thank you so much!!...Lita
I just remember the recovery from both of mine and I would not wish that on anybody !But my surgeries were really #1 to prevent Paralasis ,then hopefully to help with the pain!
Best of luck to you,77grace
The good thing is I get to have a new MRI and be able to see if there were any changes since a year and a half ago. If the surgery is not necessary, I will not do it at this time...Have a nice day ....Lita
Maybe if it was a 50% chance of eliminating my pain completely, I would give it a try.
It is up to each of us to decide for ourselves.
Take care, Annette
My back is a real mess and I take alot of pain meds. they are talking about inserting some devise that cuts the pain. I am still up in the air about having that done.
I never knew the exact diagnosis, possibly a slipped disc or a neck sprain or spasm, but it's been giving me problems up until today. I see a chiropractor regularly, which helps.
I still have the habit of "adjusting" my neck, only now, I use heat and stretch first, get really relaxed, and I don't pull roughly, just a gentle tug to see if it makes that beautiful, addictive cracking sound! My husband yells at me every time, though, even though I'm gentler, he says anything can happen, don't do that! So I'm trying to stop, I'm getting better.
My advice is...try to quit like me! Like my husband said, you never know what can happen, people have broken their necks or died in rare cases. Still, my neck gets tight and I just want to release it...after all this talk, I feel like doing it now...nooooo!

Our friends at Forgotten Buffalo posted this on the 'Net this morning.
"Home due to storm? Sit back and enjoy," they write.
The video is courtesy of WBEN's Steve Cichon, whose Staffannouncer.com is a trip through Buffalo nostalgia, and we mean a real trip.
This video has great glimpses of Jimmy Griffin, not to mention terrific vintage footage of other prominent Buffalo personalities and politicians. One classic scene shows Griffin in his house being interviewed. "You won't come in this house again," he tells the reporter. "In fact, get out right now."

The Basic Anatomical Baby Bath Chair is ergonomically shaped to hold your baby securely and comfortably during bath time. There are suckers that prevent the Bath Chair from slipping.
Good value product my little one is able to wriggle around and doesn't go anywhere when using the seat! She doesn't quite lay back in it but seems comfy enough. Easy to clean or take to a friend's house if out and about.
The product is practical and saves a lot of space. I did put a small towel on the product first to make my baby's bath comfortable rather than leaning against the hard plastic. Baby was quite content.
This is a straightforward and easy to use bath seat that we are using for our second child (now 4 weeks old). Compared to the much bulkier seat we used for our first child this is much better - it sits lower in the water so you don't need to run a very deep bath, and it is also plastic so dries easily and is easy to clean (the last one had a cloth seat which didn't dry well and after a month or so mould started to grow in the seams...). The suckers on the bottom also keep it stable in the water. Although it is quite narrow as commented in other reviews, I can see our daughter lasting in it until she is able to sit on her own so I don't think that will be a problem.
My daughter loves bathtimes and this helps me feel she is safer in the water. The only con I'd say it's a bit too high and need a lot of water in the bath to cover her. Otherwise, it's perfect.

Did UCOR 'jack up' costs of K-25 plan?
The preservation/mitigation plans for the historic K-25 building -- which is being demolished -- continue to draw controversy. While there appears to have been some consensus reached on a plan -- known as Concept B -- that would allow DOE to finish demolition of the site but make efforts to retain some authenticity in duplicating part of the operations at the Oak Ridge site, the Atomic Heritage Foundation is raising issues about the reported cost estimates of the plan (as compared to the cost of actually saving a piece of K-25 in place). The cost estimates were prepared by URS-CH2M Oak Ridge, DOE's cleanup manager and demolition chief.
Here's an excerpt from the Foundation's newsletter:
"To get another expert opinion, the Atomic Heritage Foundation shared UCOR's cost estimates with Loring Wyllie, a highly respected structural engineer and a senior principal with Degenkolb Engineers. Moreover, Wyllie directed the Degenkolb Engineers study commissioned by DOE-Oak Ridge on alternatives for preserving the K-25 Plant (2010).
"After reviewing UCOR's cost estimates, Wyllie's impression was that UCOR 'did everything they could to jack up the costs.' A summary of his critique is contained in AHF's response to the THC's questionnaire. Based on Degenkolb's analysis of the potential costs, Wyllie estimates that the costs of preserving two cells of the plant or Concept A should not be more than $16 million, which are UCOR's estimated costs of the re-creation or Concept B."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced last Friday that it will have removed all 174 of the "backscatter" X-ray full-body scanners from the 30 airports where they are currently deployed by the end of June.
TSA took the action after Rapiscan Systems, makers of the X-ray scanners called "virtual strip search" machines by personal privacy advocates, said they would not be able to meet the congressionally-imposed June 1, 2013 deadline for supplying software that would display a simple generic outline of passengers.
The Rapiscan X-ray scanners will be replaced by the newer millimeter wave scanners now in use at 170 airports.
Unlike the X-ray scanners, millimeter wave scanners use safer radio waves and employ Automated Target Recognition (ATR) software, which displays a completely non-identifiable, generic passenger outline as required by The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.
"By June 2013 travelers will only see machines which have ATR that allow for faster throughput," stated the TSA on its blog. "This means faster lanes for the traveler and enhanced security."
Until they can be used for what the TSA called "other mission priorities within the government," the $200,000 per-unit X-ray scanners will be put into a TSA storage facility. Should Rapiscan Systems be able to develop suitable ATR software, the units might be reinstalled in airports, according to the TSA.
As before, the TSA reminds passengers who object to being scanned by either the X-ray or millimeter wave machines that they always have the option of requesting a memorable hands-on pat-down search instead.
Ironically, the Census Bureau notes that Americans got their first look at X-ray machines on Friday, January 18, 1896, exactly 117 years to the day before the TSA announced the retirement of its X-ray scanners from airports. And, as the Census Bureau also recalls, Thomas Edison's research assistant Clarence Dally, after long, unshielded experimentation with X-rays, had both arms amputated, and then died in 1904 from exposure to radiation.

A landscaping drawing is an important planning and communication piece. Professional designers will collaborate with you to create a customized landscape design. Alternatively, you can elect to create one yourself. There is no right or wrong way. But remember, if it isn't in the drawing, don't count on it being part of your new outdoor space. Whether you decide to create a drawing yourself, or engage a professional, you will benefit from this brief 3 Step "How-To" overview.
Create a sketch of what is there now and can't or will not be changed. This would include your house footprint, fences or walls and property lines. Remember that your drawing will only be as accurate as your measurements. If you are using your drawing to estimate your bill of materials, remember to be accurate and work in a factor of scrap.
After you outline the conditions you have to work with, I recommend working in your hardscape design. Hardscape includes the pavers and walls that are used to define the shape of your design. On the other hand, the plant materials are referred to as your softscape. More on softscape in step 3.
Sketch two or three different design concepts as an overlay over your existing plan view, by following these easy steps:
Select the right product for your design. Using concrete pavers over other materials has several advantages. Material quality, finish, color and shape are the biggest considerations.
Don't forget to utilize the new Uvision design tool. In addition to being a source for inspiration, this system gives you a greater perspective on how the products can work together and complement your home to create a truly breathtaking design. These 25" by 22" true sized sample sheets can be ordered right to your door from the Unilock website. Lay out the sheets in front of your home and stand back to envision the truly customized transformation.
I sometimes think plants are to the hardscape as the icing is to the cake. They are the decoration to your hardscape. So choose a hierarchy of plant material.
The final touch to include is site lighting. This will add life to your creation at night. It really does make a difference and is worth the expense. Find a reputable company specializing in residential low voltage lighting.

1. Introduction
The online environment in the University of Oxford is being transformed. A new Groupware service is being deployed1, the virtual learning environment has being upgraded2, the University's student system is being developed3, and the glue that holds this all together – identity and access management – is continuing to be built4. It is essential that the various systems interoperate effectively and produce a coherent environment for the user.
This paper considers two of the services, Groupware/Nexus and the virtual learning environment WebLearn, and addresses the oft asked question what is the appropriate use of each? The guidelines are in keeping with practices at other Universities who are further down the path of rolling out a SharePoint service to complement their existing VLE.
