I had it mounted, up and running in less than an hour... Performs as advertised! Works great! By C on 11/19/2013 C would recommend this product to a friend Only disappointment is that the sink adapter that was sent to me was bent. I just went to Home Depot and got an adapter for the hose fitting and hooked that up to my sink. Great product By small_fry_keeper on 11/12/2013 small_fry_keeper would recommend this product to a friend Took me longer to get it out of the box than to get it going. Very very happy should have got one years ago my cat fish are super happy to have good water... Great Product By Kevin on 11/8/2013 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend Simple to hook up and meets its rated output @ 60 PSI water pressure. Installation instructions are clear and well illustrated with photos. The pressure gauge and TDS meter are easy to read. Great Value all around. It would be nice if they offered an permanent connection kit as well. Luckily the local big box had a knowledgeable plumbing guy. 3 new parts and 30 minutes later, it is permanently connected under my laundry sink. Unit leaked on arrival By Dave on 11/8/2013 Dave wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Two separate tubes were leaking badly when i hooked the unit up. When I took it apart both tubes had been scratched/damaged prior to assembly. Once I replaced the tubes no more leaks. Just sloppy build quality. Excellent By Josh on 10/28/2013 Josh would recommend this product to a friend Very durable and well made. Couldn't be happier with the shipping and handling. Great item By Fitz on 10/21/2013 Fitz would recommend this product to a friend Easy set up, plug and play really. Just put fitting on faucet, push red hose in and turn on water. It works great and the waste water is great for the garden or pets. Great but I'm also unsure about the TDS meter... By David on 10/9/2013 David would recommend this product to a friend Everything was easy to deal with and set up. I had it under my bathroom sink with the quick-release for the faucet but then decided to permanently hook it up under my kitchen sink. I spent a lot of time figuring out plumbing parts (such as a saddle valve for my output tube) but that has nothing to do with the unit itself. I've been using it since and definitely recommend. Just as MCOLON mentions in the 9/30/2013 review, the attached TDS meter reads a single-digit number for the tap water going in and 0 for the RO/DI output. Maybe he can update when/if he uses a different TDS meter to compare. If I do the same I'll try to update this review.... Great product By Monica on 10/3/2013 Monica would recommend this product to a friend Had this thing running in no time. Worth every penny. It's so much easier making my own water and cheaper in the long run. BRS is the best. Exactly what i expected it to do at an awesome price. By Mcolon on 9/30/2013 Mcolon would recommend this product to a friend got this hooked up and running in about 20 minutes or so and it is working perfectly, the only thing that I cannot figure out is the TDS meter, its reading 008 in the input side and 000 on the output side, I would've expected the input side to be higher, so i'm not sure if its really working or not. Other than that I am happy with this product. I will have my tap water tested with a different / Hand held TDS meter to verify the readings. Great product By Jeromi on 9/28/2013 Jeromi would recommend this product to a friend I had bought a cheap RO unit on Ebay and when it was time to replace the filters, I decided to go with this unit. Night and day difference. This product is so easy to use and set up that I wish I would have just went with this in the beginning. great product! Simplistic Perfection By James on 9/28/2013 James would recommend this product to a friend The BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD system is HANDS DOWN AWESOME. I just received it in the mail, and within about 5 minutes I had it hooked up to my laundry room sink and cycling. If you are looking for a great quality, sturdy built RO/DI system, this is it! Thanks BRS, will definitely be doing business with you again! compared to others.... By Richard on 9/21/2013 Richard would recommend this product to a friend Compared to others I've used, this works great, especially for the money. Simple and effective. Not super fast but works great. Replacement cost is also great. Produces 0 TDS water Fast By Jim on 9/15/2013 Jim would recommend this product to a friend This unit produces 0 TDS water quickly. I set up a Brute NSF approved trash can with a float switch and always have RODI water on hand. The built in TDS meter is a plus and it reads the same as my handheld. fine product -- great support By geno on 9/15/2013 geno would recommend this product to a friend I replaced an older RO/DI unit with a new one from BRS. I had a little problem at first -- the unit did not seem to be producing per specs. I emailed BRS and received prompt and courteous replies. After a few days the unit worked as intended. I wish I had found BRS earlier!!! By Drew on 9/14/2013 Drew would recommend this product to a friend I shudder to think how much time and money I have spent on bottled water over the years as both a reef and planted tank fanatic. Acquiring the technical proficiency needed to conquer the aspects of proper lighting, filtration, etc. came easy over the course of my hobby, however RODI was always an elusive mystery to me. Enter BRS with their killer videos discussing RODI unit construction, available options and installation demonstrations. The unit was a breeze to install, worked immediately and I couldn't be happier. The initial investment will pay itself back in less than a year and I have conquered another frontier of the hobby. You have a customer for life. Outstanding! By Deb on 9/1/2013 Deb would recommend this product to a friend My first one and soooo easy to use! Excellent product! Great investment By Mark on 9/1/2013 Mark would recommend this product to a friend If you decide to go with an RO/DI, this is the way to go! Already assembled and ready to go right out of the box. BRS hits it outta the park again! Great Product By JC on 8/31/2013 JC would recommend this product to a friend Very nice and easy to install! I only wish that it produced less waste water. All very worth the buy. Awesome quality product !! By Dr.Chaka on 8/28/2013 Dr.Chaka would recommend this product to a friend Is the first time that I'm purchase an equipment like this one. I made a test of the quality of the water and is impressive the difference between a regular filter and this one. I think and hope that my fishes and corals will enjoy this quality of water. Is a great high quality product. Thanks !!! Highly Recommended By JB on 8/24/2013 JB would recommend this product to a friend Shopped various web sites and Brick-n-Mortar stores to find this was the best value for the money. Installation was a snap - it's truly plug and play and unlike many other systems everything needed is included. 79 TDS from the tap, .05 TDS after RO and ZERO TDS after DI. Perfect water for not only my reef tank but for my coffee machine too. Considering the cost of purchasing water this unit will pay for itself within just a few short calendar weeks. Awesome ROI! awesome RO/DI unit, and great price too By Bradley on 8/23/2013 Bradley would recommend this product to a friend Great unit for a great price! Was up and running about 5 minutes after opening the package great product and super fast shiping By balu on 8/16/2013 balu would recommend this product to a friend I bought this Ro/DI unit on a wednesday and i received it on the following friday, super fast. I love this unit, its my first one, but its great. ive made 80 gallons of water with it already and im amazed at how fast it works... it seems faster than 75 gal a day! Thank you BRS! Just want I needed, a great RO system. By Rocky 298 on 8/15/2013 Rocky 298 would recommend this product to a friend I alway's use tap water until a friend inform me, that I should invest in a RO system. It was the best thing that I ever done in my life, I love it my fish are happy.THANKS jj juice By B-rock on 8/5/2013 B-rock would recommend this product to a friend Its made nice, water comes out, 0 tds... buy it Highly Recommended By Craig on 8/4/2013 Craig would recommend this product to a friend This was a great buy. High qualiy product and parts and ready to go right out of the box. No damage to the product and delivered on time. I installed this in my laundry room and made my first 5 gallons of water and did a water change on my fresh water tank. well worth the money By Brent on 8/4/2013 Brent would recommend this product to a friend up until I bought this unit, I was a skeptic of the whole RODI water idea, but now that I've put about 4 months of RODI use under my belt, i'll never go back to tap water. Right from the start this was an easy product to learn and operate. I have recommended it to many friends and I will continue to do so. Great WORKS LIKE A CHARM By ken on 7/29/2013 ken would recommend this product to a friend This my second RO/DI system from Bulk Reef Supply and no problem with either, easy hookup running in less 20 minutes Great for aquariums By coralbandit on 7/26/2013 coralbandit would recommend this product to a friend For a while I would just go to the local fish store but after 2years I had enough traveling back and forth with heavy juggs of water when i recieved my product I was more than happy with the results my fish and coral are going to love it water change every 2 weeks Awesome! By John R on 7/24/2013 John R would recommend this product to a friend Unfortunately I needed an adapter for my kitchen sink but that's my problem. Not the products. 0.06 going in 0.00 coming out. Highly recommend using this. Way better than tap water Awesome Recommendation BRS By Sal on 7/21/2013 Sal would recommend this product to a friend This unit is all you need wheather your experienced or not, comes all ready setup, Plug and play Quality Product By Pauline on 7/16/2013 Pauline would recommend this product to a friend I have liquid rock well water, discus, angelfish and rams. After contemplating for a long time, and in spite of thinking an RO system would be complicated, I ordered this unit. The BRS video was a great help. The unit is high quality, easy to use and I had RO water the day I received it. great product By timothy on 7/8/2013 timothy would recommend this product to a friend never knew it would be this easy. these guys really make reefing affordable and easy. just flush and an hour later producing ro/di water Just what I asked For By John on 7/8/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend I shopped around before I came across this product. this come with the meager and auto shut off that alot of others do not put on for the on the ro/di system. the price is good and it works great. Absolutely Incredible By Matt on 6/28/2013 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Shipping was excellent. Build quality is unmatched with anything I've seen in the LFS's that I frequent. and switching to RODI water from well water has been nothing short of a miracle for my reef tank. 100% Improvement on everything in the tank in literally just days of changing to 100% RODI water. recommend this product for all reefers!! By Muhammed on 6/25/2013 Muhammed would recommend this product to a friend its a very strong filter, it not only makes the water clear but creates friends for my discus and other friends of my neighbourhood. Im a very proud of this product, because its a TDS 0!!! (: Excellent Quality Product for Cheap! By n2rockets on 6/25/2013 n2rockets would recommend this product to a friend This is an incredible product at a great price. Other units I have found elsewhere have less features and cost a lot more $. Its simple to use, high quality construction and comes with a lot of parts, extras and available options. I keep mine under the sink in the bathroom of my apartment and pull it out when I need it. I screw it onto the sink and make water for about an hour before I put it away. My roommates now use it to make water for their terrarium and have been using it to make fresh espresso! I opted for the 4 stage because its all included in 1 unit. I highly recommend this product. Everyone that visits my house is very impressed and asks where I bought this piece of equipment. Great system By Corey on 6/24/2013 Corey would recommend this product to a friend This has been a great system. I make about 30 gals of RO/DI water each week. I love the TDS meter that is provided this is the only way to know what the system is providing. Very easy to install and maintain. I have had the system just under a year and the only media I have replace is the DI Resin. Best prices anywhere. I have had no problems at all with BRS. Great product from a great company! By Cody on 6/17/2013 Cody would recommend this product to a friend I ordered this unit and received it with a few days. It was super easy to install to my sink. It went from the box to producing water in 5 minutes! I plan to hook it up in my laundry room. I wasn't sure which fitting I needed so I emailed them and they replied quickly with the links to the fittings needed. I wouldn't order an RO/DI unit from anyone else! Love it By Charles on 6/12/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this as I was tired of driving 30 minutes and paying for my water. It was very easy to set up and use. I ran the hose under my carpet and keep it hooked up to my bathroom sink. All I do is turn the water on at night before and let it run until the morning. I would recommend this product. Plug and play By Brian on 6/10/2013 Brian would recommend this product to a friend Great product and a great price . Item does it all and with built in TDS meter no guessing when filters need replaced. Great product By Dwayne on 6/5/2013 Dwayne would recommend this product to a friend Have had this product for 6 months. Works great. No complaints. It arrived with a damaged pressure gauge. One call to BRS and a new one was sent no questions asked. Great service. Solid Purchase By Jeff on 6/1/2013 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend Unless there is a significant problem with your water source, this is what you want if your system is within 150 gallons. Below are the readings I get at my place using this item: Bathroom Sink - 20-25ppm in, and 0ppm out Kitchen Faucet - 20-25ppm in, and 0ppm out Garden Water - 40-45ppm in, and 0ppm out Easy to hook up and use By Chavinpat on 6/1/2013 Chavinpat would recommend this product to a friend The RO/DI unit arrived this afternoon. I unpack, hook it up, flush the system for about an hour, and made the water right way. 0.21 TDS went in 0.0 TDS came out. perfect By dangdriver on 5/27/2013 dangdriver would recommend this product to a friend if everything i order form BRS is as good as this i will never have a complaint . works perfect right out of the box no leaks no drips no errors. Very pleased so far. By Rzalph on 5/22/2013 Rzalph would recommend this product to a friend I only recieved the unit earlier this week, but I have since done a water change. At 75gpd this makes water at a perfect rate for my needs (30g cube), a 5g bucket for water change and another for top off through out the week. Probably only takes less than an hour and a half to make 5g worth. Everything came very well packaged, with good instructions, all I had to do was hook it up to the hose bib. It took less than 2 minutes. Great Value By Scott on 5/20/2013 Scott would recommend this product to a friend Awesome system and everything I needed to start making my own RO/DI water. Construction is very well done as only BRS can do. Economy 4 stage RO/DI By rustyjames on 5/16/2013 rustyjames would recommend this product to a friend I bought the 4 stage RO/DI in early 2012 after my tank had been set up so I only needed top off and water change water on a 40 breeder. Came fully set up and gave me 0 tds water till February 2013 when we had a nasty cold spell (unit was setup in my garage). The faucet adapter froze. Took my lazy butt till May to order a new one after checking a few local hardware stores. While I was at it I ordered a new new filter set for only $20 or so. Don't think they needed to be changed but it was cheap and the unit sat for a few months. They were easy to change and I'm good to go making absolutely pure water for my reef.

Fun favor Everybody enjoyed the sweet treat. My only complaint is that the stickers were not always placed very well. Some were half off of the wrapper or very obviously not centered. Other than that, they were very cute :) June 27, 2012
Good price I bought these because they were on sale for such a great price and I couldn't pass it up. I did expect a little more than what I got. It's just a sticker on a regular york peppermint patty (like you would buy from the store). Some of the stickers don't completely cover the writing on the package. But the stickers are nice and overall they look pretty good. They are definitely worth it for the money. April 29, 2012
Great Product! Everything turned out exactly as promised. The labels turned out great and it tastes great too! January 31, 2012

The avid golfer might appreciate a new device that was invented right here in Atlanta that answers the simple questions everyone who takes a swing wants to know: How far did my ball go?Atlanta businessman Joe Ernest continued to have that same questions and couldn't find something that could answer it simply or cheaply. So, he had to ask another question first: Can I create a device that does that?The answer comes in the form of the ES12 portable launch monitor, a device that recently won the PGA's Best in Show award.It uses Doppler radar, similar technology that the FOX 5 Storm Team uses to track storms, to track how far a ball has been hit. It then connects through a smartphone app so golfers can actually hear the results.It's not just the distance it tracks, but also the flight of the ball. So, you can actually view a graphic on your smartphone or tablet. It also lets you record your swing to email friends or a pro for analysis. And if you need an experience caddy, it can actually give you advice on what club to use. Of course, it just can't hand it to you. But at least it will keep score for you.The 68-year-old Ernest retired a few years ago from the telecommunications industry here in Atlanta which helped him in the development of the ES12.The ES12 prices for around $250. The app is free and available for both Apple and Android devices including tablets.For more information you can view Ernest Sports website at ernestsports.com. You can also connect with them at facebook.com/ErnestSports or on Twitter at @ErnestSports.If you have used the ES12 or any golfing gadget, leave a comment at facebook.com/DougEvansFOX5 or on Twitter at @DougEvansFOX5. And if you have a gadget you want to know more about or a question about the latest technical wonder make sure to contact FOX 5's Doug Evans.

So, you're off on vacation. Is your pet coming too? Some pets don't travel well and if that's the case with you, your pet should be taken to a kennel, or more popular and safer, have a pet sitter come by your home to care for the animal.
If you are bringing your pet along, then you need to do some homework. Is your destination pet friendly? Are there people to watch your pet while you are doing vacation activities? Pet friendly hotels can be found on the internet, but some have size limits or restrictions on the number of pets. Always check ahead so there are no surprizes.
Make a checklist before you go. What will your pet need? Food, water bowls, their bed, treats, favorite toys, medications, ID tags, collars and leashes and anything that will make your pet less anxious. Bring their kennel if it helps them feel safe and be sure to help them have some fun too!
Here's a website for pet friendly hotels. http://www.officialpethotels.com/?refclickid=1385~G~(E)~pet%20friendly%20hotels&gclid=CPzCxtWpo7kCFe9aMgodVnAAKQ#axzz2dNyXgHcL

1 Warm Pastels Bella Solids Jelly Roll
3.25 yd. Fig Tree Cream Solid 9900 67
1 yd. Fig Tree Apricot Solid 9900 70
1 yd. Fig Tree Wheat Solid 9900 68
1 yd. Ochre Solid 9900 79
1 yd. Buttercup Solid 9900 51
1 yd. Green apple Solid 9900 74
1 yd. Clover Solid 9900 73
1 yd. 20" wide light weight fusible web (I used Heat n Bond Lite)
Queen Size Quilt Batting
Note: The last 6 solids will be used for the backing & binding as well as for some of the appliqued petals.
Cutting Instructions:
WOF=Width of Fabric
~Measurements given are based on 44" of usable fabric--be careful when trimming your selvages to not overtrim them.~
Cream Fabric:
Cut {5} 12.5" x WOF strips, subcut each strip into {4} 7.5" strips and {4} 3.5" strips
Cut {8} 2.5" x WOF strips, subcut each strip into {2} 16.5" strips, set aside the remaining 10" left over from each strip we will use these later
Cut {9} 2.5" x WOF strips, trim selvages and sew end to end, randomly add in 4 of the 10" strips from above. Trim down into {6} 2.5" x 70.5" strips
Cut {4} 2.5" x WOF strips, trim selvages and sew end to end, add in 2 of the 10" strips from above. Trim down into {2} 2.5" x 92.5" strips.
Remove the cream strips from the jelly roll. Divide the remaining 36 jelly roll strips into two equal piles. Each pile should have 2 strips of each of the 9 remaining colors--18 strips total in each pile.
From Pile #1 cut the following from each strip:
{1} 2.5" x 16.5" strip, {1} 2.5" x 14.5" strip, {1} 2.5" x 12.5" strip
From Pile #2 cut the following from each strip:
{1} 2.5" x 14.5" strip, {1} 2.5" x 12.5" strip (Set aside the left over strips-you will use a portion of them in the next step), Select 10 of the left over strips(the other 8 remaining left over strips will be used to make petals), cut 10 additional pieces as follows:
{2} 2.5" x 16.5" strips
{4} 2.5" x 14.5" strips
{4} 2.5" x 12.5" strips
-From each of the 6 one yard pieces cut {1} 2.25" x WOF strip. Cut an additional 2.25" x WOF strip from two of the fabrics for a total of 8 binding strips. Tag the two pieces of fabric that you cut the extra strip from(for easy reference when piecing the back).
-From each of the 6 one yard pieces cut {1} 2.75 x length(approx. 31-33") of fabric. This strip measurement includes the selvage--there is no need to trim it prior to cutting. These strips will be used to make petals.
Making the Petals:
Iron 4 petals onto each of the 14 strips designated for the petals. By slanting the petals, you will be able to fit 4 petals on the smaller strips.
Cut apart the petals on the line, peel off the backing, and set aside.
Block Construction
Sew a 2.5" x 12.5" colored strip to each 7.5" x 12.5" white piece. Press seams away from the white. Make 20.
Sew a 2.5" x 14.5" colored strip to the right of the unit made above. Press seam toward the colored strip.
Layout your blocks in a pleasing manner varying their rotation. You want to layout the blocks prior to appliqueing them as the rotation will effect applique placement.
Once you have finished the layout, choose 7 of the blocks to applique. You can see above, the blocks I appliqued.
Completing the Applique
Using a water erasable fabric marker, draw a line down the center of the white rectangle in which you will be appliquéing (the center will be at approx. 3.5").
Line up the petals and iron into place. Using a blanket stitch, complete the applique. I used 12 weight thread for the applique on my petals. Complete the applique for all 7 blocks.
Adding the sashing
Sew a 2.5" x 16.5" white sashing strip between the blocks. Press seams towards the blocks. Complete all 5 rows.
Sew a 2.5" x 70.5" white sashing strip in between each row. Press seams away from the sashing. Make sure to add a sashing strip to the top and the bottom of the quilt top.
Making the Backing
Straighten the backing fabrics if needed. Of the two slightly smaller backing pieces you tagged above, put one piece on the left and one on the right. Of the four remaining backing pieces, two will go on the right side of the back and two on the left with a seam in the middle of the backing. The uncut selvage edges will go around the perimeter of the backing. Sew together.
Sandwich, Baste, and quilt as desired. I opted to send this quilt out to be professionally quilted by the fabulous Angela.
To finish the quilt, use the binding strips to create a scrappy binding. And your quilt is ready to be enjoyed! Thanks so much for reading over my tutorial! I'd love to see pictures of your Organic Elements Quilt. =)
74" x 92" Quilt

Hulk Hogan
Real Name
Terry Bollea
Date of Birth
August 11, 1953
Place of Birth

April 21, 2014
A picture of Kelly Kelly wearing lingerie and high heels. The former WWE diva looks incredible in a black bra and panties. It is a really hot look for her tan body.
April 14, 2014

April 13, 2014

April 10, 2014
A picture of Madison Rayne wearing see through panties. The TNA Knockout is also lifting her up skimpy tank top to expose her gorgeous stomach.
April 9, 2014
A picture of Gail Kim in panties. While the underwear is quite simple, her petite and hot little body makes this quite the sexy photo. The fact that the TNA knockout is also capable of performing well in the ring makes her even more attractive.
March 21, 2014
A picture of Madison Rayne in her panties, and it looks like the TNA Knockouts Champion is about to get naked. Unfortunately, though, it's just a tease, as Madison is a mother now, so no such photos will be taken.
March 21, 2014
A really hot picture of Brooke Tessmacher in the kitchen while wearing just her panties. The TNA Knockout doesn't do nude pictures, so this is as good as it gets.
March 20, 2014
A picture of Velvet Sky wearing pink panties. The TNA Knockout, who might have the best ass in the entire industry, is a part of the latest photo shoot, which has an underwear theme.
March 17, 2014
As a few people are already aware, Hulk Hogan has been generating some hype recently by teasing fans that he wants to make a return to the WWE ring for one final match. The former world heavyweight champion has teased that he wants to work against John Cena. Well, some fuel has been added to that fire, as Cena himself is now starting to tease the match as well. The belief is that the two of them are simply promoting the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 pay per view.
August 30, 2014
WWE is bringing in the big names to help open up Monday Night Raw this week. Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair have been confirmed to make an appearance. The trio of former world heavyweight champions will be in the opening segment. Reports are surfacing that Flair, Hogan and Michaels will be promoting the feud between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, who is not scheduled to be there.
August 23, 2014
The relationship between Hulk Hogan and WWE has been further extended, as the former world heavyweight champion is now going to be involved in a movie for the company. WWE Studios is producing Celebrity Death Pool, featuring Ken Jeong from the Hangover series and David Hasselhoff. Hogan has a small role in the movie, but the company is expected to promote him heavily to draw in their fan base.
August 21, 2014
Hulk Hogan has a knack for drawing attention. That's why he has made millions of dollars in his career. The former world heavyweight champion has pulled TMZ in and brought extra attention to WWE this week by exaggerating his supposed real life feud with Brock Lesnar. Hogan is pretending to have backstage heat with Lesnar because the former UFC champion called him "grandpa".
August 21, 2014
When Brock Lesnar interrupted the birthday celebration for Hulk Hogan on Monday Night Raw last week, he went off script a bit. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion said, "Party's over, grandpa." That was not a line fed to him by the WWE creative department. Reports are surfacing that Lesnar took that jab on his own or had help from Paul Heyman in coming up with that line.
August 18, 2014
Since he did not fly home to Florida after the live WWE event last night, the belief is that Hulk Hogan will be making an appearance at Summerslam 2014 tonight. There is also a good chance that he will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw tomorrow as well. WWE sent their private jet to northern California last night, so that the performers did not have to make the five hour drive down to Los Angeles.
August 17, 2014
As if he really needed it, Hulk Hogan has gained more leverage with WWE when it comes to capitalizing on his name value. The special edition of the upcoming WWE 2K15 with his face attached to it has reportedly been sold out at a lot of retailers, even though the release date is still several weeks away. Hogan has been quite the asset to the company over the last year, and he more than likely will continue to cash in big checks from WWE.
August 16, 2014
"I've been really quiet since the passing of my husband and the father of my girls. Someone sent me what Mr Bollea had to say in video interview with Grantland yesterday and I would just like to ask him to stop. He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls. I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more." - wife of the Ultimate Warrior to Hulk Hogan
August 15, 2014
There's a little battle brewing right now between two of the greatest WWE stars of all time. Recently, Steve Austin stated that he was the best draw that the business has ever seen. When asked about the statement, Hulk Hogan argued that he was the best by stating that his career was twice as long as the one Austin had. This does not appear to be a promotional thing since the two of them will not be doing a match together.
August 15, 2014
Since WWE wants to make this is a big edition of Monday Night Raw, the company has enlisted the help of Hulk Hogan and friends to help spike the ratings. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have already been confirmed for an appearance, and there are talks that an nWo reunion could be taking place. Another person from Hogan's past has now been added as well. Paul Orndorff is scheduled to make an appearance tonight.
August 11, 2014
While a lot of fans are still under the impression that Hulk Hogan is really training to make an in ring return for WWE, no discussions are taking place within the company, as many people are already aware that the former world heavyweight champion is in no shape to wrestle. Vince McMahon would gladly pull the trigger on something like this since it would generate a ton of publicity, but he knows it will not be taking place.
August 8, 2014
The white and black is headed back to WWE next week when Monday Night Raw comes to us live from Portland. Hulk Hogan will be celebrating his birthday on air, and he has a couple of buddies coming back to join him. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash have reportedly been confirmed for the event, and the belief is that WWE will be doing some sort of nWo reunion to boost television ratings.
August 6, 2014
For years, Hulk Hogan has worked the audience. He knows how to sucker in the most gullible of fans. The WWE legend is at it again. At a promotional event in New Jersey on Saturday, Hogan told the audience that he was training for another match. He also stated that he wanted it to be against John Cena. Hogan is in no shape to work another match, so the belief is that he's just creating a buzz.
August 3, 2014
While a lot of fans bashed TNA for paying big bucks to Hulk Hogan over the years, his true value is coming out as Dixie Carter is having some trouble trying to secure a new television deal for Impact Wrestling. Hogan's name value helped open a lot of doors in business for the company, and his absence has made it a bit harder to sell networks on their product.
July 29, 2014
Since they're paying him a tremendous amount of money, Hulk Hogan has been traveling the globe for WWE. After being the unofficial featured attraction in Japan, the former world heavyweight champion has headed down to Mexico to do some promotion work for the company. WWE is doing a tour of the country soon, and they're hoping that Hogan can help spike interest much like he did in Japan.
July 22, 2014
To get an idea of why WWE pays Hulk Hogan so much money even though he can no longer be an in ring performer, simply look at how he was treated during the recent tour of Japan. Media and fans in that country treated the Hogan return as a much bigger thing that the actual WWE live events. Hogan's involvement alone helped to generate better numbers for WWE in Japan than they have been receiving over the last couple of years.
July 17, 2014
With the company in Japan for a tour, WWE stars were in for a bit of a rude awakening this weekend. A 6.8 earthquake struck the island country. Several of the stars made note of the incident through their social media website. Hulk Hogan revealed that his bed had moved around the hotel room. Fortunately, though, this particular earthquake did not produce devastating tsunamis like the last one.
July 12, 2014
WWE has a very big announcement being set up in Tokyo this week. It's such a major move in Japan that they even have Hulk Hogan making an appearance at the event. The belief is that this is where the company will reveal that they have signed Kenta Kobayashi, one of the better performers in the country, to a contract to join the WWE roster.
July 11, 2014
Over the last couple of years, WWE has had trouble selling out arenas in Japan. Often times, the places would be half filled when the company runs live events there. Their show in next week in Tokyo, though, has been sold out completely, which is a pleasant surprise to WWE officials. The belief is that the presence of Hulk Hogan might have convinced fans over there to attend the show.
July 4, 2014
When Hulk Hogan decided to return to WWE, there were those that wondered if he took a lesser deal to return to the company. However, it looks like the opposite is actually true. Hogan has a huge guarantee in his deal, which means that WWE will pay him even if he does not make appearances. When he does show up, he gets a sizable amount of money for doing so. Hogan also negotiated a deal that enables him to work outside of WWE. The deal is said to be heavily favored towards Hogan.

If its not, mods feel free to move it.
Anyway... I am pregnant with my first. I know I have some time to think about this (I'm only 8 weeks) but the topic came up at work and its been on my mind. I have never been religious per se, I've told people I would keep so and so in my prayers, but in all honesty - I do not pray! Now my siblings and I have all been baptized, but none of us go to church. We did not grow up in a religious household and were not forced to go to church. I have never read the bible... I don't think I believe in what it's saying. I know right from wrong and I don't need "god" or "Jesus" or "heaven" to bribe me to do the right things. This all holds true for my dbf. Now if in 10 years my son or daughter decides they want to go to church, I would never tell them no.
So as I said, the topic of baptism came up at work. A co worker said that no matter what her religious beliefs were, she would baptize her children because they should have that influence [of a higher power] in their life (or something to that effect).
What is your opinion on baptizing if you are not religious? Should every child receive some sort of blessing?

that was a very clear positive Mandy. I'm hopeful too. Moreso than ever before. your signature makes me happy like you wouldn't believe!
The last thing I looked at before I went to bed was the BFP picture. I plan to do that every time I feel upset.
Your news really does make the world seem sweeter, Mandy.

Send our love to Molly, Myles! A
Mandy, what's the next step? Do you go back to the RE (and go Neener, neener!)?
Definitely calling tomorrow for a beta. Tempted to rub it in while I'm at it, but I probably won't talk to the doctor until after the results come back.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Bridget, speaking of saying 'neener neener neener' to a dr...did you ever call Kai's previous dr's office and let them know the results of his allergy tests? I'd be tempted to give them heck over that. It still pisses me off that they gave you such grief about running those tests.
So excited for you Mandy!!! That is such a great BFP pic!! I also would be tempted to stick my tongue out and blow at that doctor lol!!
Really happy for you as I read this earlier today but didn't have time to post and it actually made me happy on my mall shopping trip. I hate the mall so that is something, the power of a BFP I tell you!
Nah, I haven't said anything. Dbf really wants me to as well. That kind of thing is really hard for me. Oddly, they did call me and leave a message saying that they got the paperwork on the high glucose and when would I like to come in so they can do the 2nd blood draw as recommended by the urologist. I had told her I wasn't going back to him but I guess the order went to them anyway.
Tonight I asked Kai if is tummy was feeling any better. He's been egg/dairy/wheat free for a week now. He said YES. He said his tummy feels better. He has never said that before. His words were, "I finally get to feel what it's like to not have a tummy ache. It feels very weird. But a good weird."
Oh, that poor child! I'm so glad you found the reason and he can stop hurting.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Awww, that just breaks my heart. But I'm very happy for him! Bless his little heart!
I think it would be totally appropriate to at least send a letter with a copy of the test results. Quote the nurse (or whomever it was, I can't remember) that wasn't going to just order the test based on your say so. Use their words, of course. I think it was borderline negligent (at best) on their part to have that attitude, especially after all that Kai had gone through.
I agree with Chrissy. If I thought there was a way for you to kick the doctor in the 'nads and get away with it, I would've suggested that. Poor kid.
Yeah, y'all are right. I shouldn't just let it go. If for nothing else then maybe this dude will listen to the next mama who says something is not right with her child. I'm bummed because I really liked this dr. He's been the best one so far and now I have to find a new one.
We had a busy weekend with houseguests throughout celebrating mine and Savana's bday. I stayed up way too late last night sitting around the bonfire with my bro and one of my old and dear girlfriends (the beekeeper, I've talked about her here before). I got to have my talking politics time in my fave way, drinking wine around a campfire withe people who agree with me! Although when my brother gets intoxicated he starts getting really argumentive and misunderstanding half the things we say and then I just want to tell him to go to bed.
Anyway, I'm freaking tired. I don't recover like I used to!

Taking a break..
I am taking a break from blogging. I had been spending entirely too much time at the computer and it is not healthy for me. I need to use that time to exercise!
My main focus right now is on losing weight and exercising... my food is very plain.. but good. I'm trying to use food for fuel more than food for comfort. I WILL be back when I have found a better balance.
Thursday, October 05, 2006
Been a while
I still haven't seen her though... as I mentioned, I was sick last week, then, over the weekend, she stopped breathing and ended up in the hospital. Fortunately, she is back home.. and doing well. They never found out why she was having breathing trouble. Right now, I'm waiting for my brother and SIL to decompress and invite me down to see her. I'm going nuts! I want to hold her so much.
I've been cooking a lot, but have only taken pics of 1 meal.. I'm not sure why... I think I've been just to distracted due to worrying about my niece.
This was brunch, freshly ground wheat, made into pancakes, apples and maple syrup, pina colada smoothies and a mexican tofu scramble. All vegan. I love that everyone enjoyed the food and didn't miss the dairy.
I made an quick dinner the other night that turned out to be one of the favorite dinners ever.. according to my kids..
Mashed Yukon Golds with Frozen Spinach
Punk Rock Chickpea Gravy from VwaV
"Fried" Tofu (in the cast iron with cooking spray and soy sauce)
My kids LOVED it, even my youngest who has always hated chickpeas. I was amazed that he liked it.
Last night, I made Seitan and Mushroom Stroganoff and Peas over Ziti and served it with steamed green beans and cauliflower tossed with vegan "honey" mustard. Again, my family loved it. I am very surprised that they love most of the vegan food I make.
Both of my kids have asked me to use more tofu in their dinners.. they say they miss tofu and please, let them eat a pound each for dinner.. oy.. that is mighty expensive, as tofu is around 2.49 per 15oz in my neck of the woods.. but how can I say no, when they want tofu sandwiches for lunch?
Speaking of expensive... I am trying again to get my food budget down. My goal this month is $500. I have been spending between 800-1000 per month lately. So far, this week, I've spent $100 and still have enough staples so I don't have to shop until Tuesday.. I pack my kids lunches... so I need bottled water and individual sized chips for that. I have tons of staples.. so, basically it is lunch stuff and produce that I need to buy....oh, and tofu.. lots and lots of tofu. I haven't made my own yet.. maybe one day... and I still need to master Tempeh. So far, all of my batches have failed. I need to create a decent incubator for it... and I'm sure it will work well.

New tax law includes tax breaks for race track owners, moviemakers, electric motorcycles
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tucked into the "fiscal cliff" tax package approved by Congress are billions of dollars in tax breaks that should make the new year a lot happier for businesses of many stripes, including film producers, race track owners and the makers of electric motorcycles.
In all, more than 50 temporary tax breaks were renewed through 2013, saving businesses and individuals about $76 billion. Congress routinely renews the tax package, attracting intense lobbying — and campaign donations — from businesses and trade groups that say the tax breaks help them prosper and create jobs.
Businesses have grown used to many of the longstanding tax breaks, but they also have had to get used to the uncertainty of whether they will be renewed each year. This time around the tax breaks were allowed to expire at the end of 2011 as lawmakers struggled to reach consensus on a wide range of tax issues.
The package passed by Congress this week and signed by President Barack Obama renews the tax breaks retroactively, so taxpayers can claim them on both their 2012 and 2013 tax returns.
The biggest of the bunch, a tax credit for research and development, helps U.S. manufacturers compete against foreign competition, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. Another provision helps restaurants and retailers expand by allowing them to more quickly write off the costs, according to the National Restaurant Association.
House re-elects Boehner speaker as 113th Congress begins; fiscal issues loom
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Congress opened for business Thursday to confront long-festering national problems, deficits and immigration among them, in an intensely partisan and crisis-driven era of divided government. "The American dream is in peril," said House Speaker John Boehner, re-elected to his post despite a mini-revolt in Republican ranks.
Moments after grasping an oversized gavel that symbolizes his authority, Boehner implored the assembly of newcomers and veterans in the 113th Congress to tackle the nation's heavy burden of debt at long last. "We have to be willing — truly willing — to make this right."
Also on the two-year agenda is the first significant effort at an overhaul of the tax code in more than a quarter century. Republicans and Democrats alike say they want to chop at a thicket of existing tax breaks and use the resulting revenue to reduce rates.
There were personal milestones aplenty as the winners of last fall's races swore an oath of office as old as the republic.
Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Deb Fischer of Nebraska were among the newcomers sworn in, raising the number of women in the Senate to a record 20. Tim Scott of South Carolina became the first black Republican in the Senate in more than three decades.
NY county clerk says releasing gun permit information to newspaper could put public in danger
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York county clerk justified his refusal to release the names and addresses of handgun permit holders to a newspaper, saying it would give stalkers and thieves a convenient roadmap to target potential victims — and determine whether they have a gun.
"This certainly puts my public in danger," Putnam County Clerk Dennis Sant said Thursday following a news conference in which he was backed by the county executive and other elected officials.
The Journal News, which serves New York City's northern suburbs, sparked an outcry last month when it published clickable online maps with the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester counties.
When the newspaper requested the same information from Putnam, Sant initially said the county needed more time to fulfill the request. Sant balked entirely this week, saying the law gives him the prerogative to refuse to release public information if it endangers the public. Judges and police officers could be targeted by the people they put behind bars, he said. People with orders of protection have expressed concern to him about would-be attackers finding them through the database.
While anyone can come into his office and file the necessary paperwork to request information on individual permits, Sant said the difference is that the Journal News plans to publish the information in a way that makes it accessible to everyone, instantaneously.
American missiles kill senior Taliban militant in Pakistan who fought US troops in Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD (AP) — An American drone strike in Pakistan has killed a top Taliban commander who sent money and fighters to battle the U.S. in Afghanistan but had a truce with the Pakistani military, officials said Thursday.
While the death of Maulvi Nazir was likely to be seen in Washington as affirmation of the necessity of the controversial U.S. drone program, it could cause more friction in already tense relations with Pakistan because Nazir did not focus on Pakistani targets.
Nazir was killed when two missiles slammed into a house in a village in South Waziristan while he was meeting with supporters and fellow commanders. Eight other people were killed, according to five Pakistani security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
A U.S. official confirmed the death of Nazir, along with an unspecified number of "trusted deputies."
Nazir and those killed were "directly involved in planning and executing cross-border attacks on coalition forces in Afghanistan, as well as providing protection for al-Qaida fighters in South Waziristan," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to describe casualties resulting from CIA counterterrorism actions.
Government airstrikes on rebel-held suburbs show limits of opposition push to take Damascus
BEIRUT (AP) — Twin airstrikes by government jets on a large, rebel-held suburb of Damascus on Thursday sheered the sides off apartment towers and left residents digging through rubble for the dead and wounded.
The bombing of Douma came amid a wave of attacks on rebellious districts of the Syrian capital, part of the government's efforts to keep rebel fighters out of President Bashar Assad's seat of power. Late Thursday, a car bomb exploded at a gas station inside the city itself, killing at least nine people, activists said.
Douma, the largest patch of rebel-held ground near Damascus, illustrates why the opposition's advance on the capital has bogged down. Despite capturing territory and setting up committees to provide basic services, the rebels lack the firepower to challenge Assad's forces and remain helpless before his air force.
That stalemate suggests the war will not end soon. The U.N. said Wednesday that more than 60,000 people have been killed since March 2011 — a figure much higher than previous opposition estimates.
Rebels took control of Douma, a suburb of some 200,000 located nine miles (15 kilometers) northwest of Damascus, in mid-October 2011, after launching attacks on military posts throughout the city, activists said.
US hiring shows signs of strength even as White House, Congress battle over budget
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market showed resilience in three reports Thursday, suggesting it may able to withstand a federal budget battle that threatens more economic uncertainty in coming months.
A survey showed private hiring increased last month, while layoffs declined and applications for unemployment benefits stayed near a four-year low. The data led some economists to raise their forecasts for December job growth one day before the government releases its closely watched employment report.
"The job market held firm in December despite the intensifying fiscal cliff negotiations," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "Businesses even became somewhat more aggressive in their hiring at year end."
The most encouraging sign came from payroll provider ADP. Its monthly employment survey showed businesses added 215,000 jobs last month, the most in 10 months and much higher than November's total of 148,000.
Economists tend to approach the ADP survey with some skepticism because it has diverged sharply at times from the government's job figures. The Labor Department releases its employment report Friday.
Japanese cars, cheap loans, and appealing compacts inspire buyers to trade in
DETROIT (AP) — It's not quite boom times for the U.S. auto industry. But it's getting there.
Sales of new cars and trucks rose 13 percent to 14.5 million in 2012. And if they climb much beyond that, they'll be closing in on a high set in 2005.
Cheap loans, a host of new cars and greater confidence in the economy are drawing buyers into showrooms. Plus, Americans who hung on to aging cars during the recession are ready to trade them in.
Here are the highlights and lowlights of 2012, and what's coming from the industry in 2013:
Farm bill extension frustrates farm interests, evidence of lost congressional clout
WASHINGTON (AP) — A patchwork extension of federal farm programs passed as part of a larger "fiscal cliff" bill keeps the price of milk from rising but doesn't include many of the goodies that farm-state lawmakers are used to getting for their rural districts.
House and Senate Agriculture Committee leaders who spent more than a year working on a half-trillion-dollar, five-year farm bill that would keep subsidies flowing had to accept in the final hours a slimmed-down, nine-month extension of 2008 law with few extras for anyone.
With the new Congress opening Thursday, they'll have to start the farm bill process over again, most likely with even less money for agriculture programs this year and the recognition that farm interests have lost some of the political clout they once held.
"I think there's a lot of hurt feelings, that all of this time and energy was put into it and you've got nothing to show for it," said Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said it even more bluntly on the Senate floor just after she learned that the bare-bones extension would be part of the fiscal cliff deal.
Analysis: Martian meteorite from Sahara desert is older and contains more water than others
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scientists are abuzz about a coal-colored rock from Mars that landed in the Sahara desert: A yearlong analysis revealed it's quite different from other Martian meteorites.
Not only is it older than most, it also contains more water, tests showed. The baseball-size meteorite, estimated to be 2 billion years old, is strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined on the Martian surface by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity, which found water-bearing minerals.
"Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That's really exciting," said Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics and curator at the University of New Mexico who led the study published online Thursday in the journal Science.
Most space rocks that fall to Earth as meteorites come from the asteroid belt, but a number can be traced to the moon and Mars.
Scientists believe an asteroid or some other large object struck Mars, dislodging rocks and sending them into space. Occasionally, some plummet through Earth's atmosphere.
Rare river otter makes home in seaside bath facing Pacific Ocean in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A rapt crowd followed a trail of bubbles that zipped over the surface of a seaside pond in the ruins of a 19th century bath in San Francisco.
San Francisco's newest star — the first river otter seen in the city in decades — surfaced its whiskery head furtively, a mouth full of sea grass. The crowd oohed as large waves pounded rocks just offshore, a briny smell and chill in the air.
The otter ducked back under water and took the sea grass underneath a concrete remnant of the historic baths, where the animal was building a nest.
"We came here to see the baths and this was just a bonus," said Eliza Durkin, who brought her son Jonathan to the site for a school project on historic places.
Beyond tourists, the otter has mystified and delighted conservationists, who are piecing together clues to figure out how he got there. The furry creature was first spotted by birdwatchers in September and has since settled into the City by the Bay.

A little humor to end the work week and kick off the weekend! If you enjoy a lot of silly-ness, a little sarcasm, and a dash of mockery... Just scroll down and laugh!
Being a recent college grad, I'm very thankful that I took all of those quizzes, tests and exams. I might not be able to make it in the radio world without my multiple choice strategy (all C's).
Even for dogs, ice cream is irresistible this time of year. How can you say no to this face?
Lady Gaga may take the cake for most outrageous costumes and dresses, but Adele is "rollin" in actual awards. Adele wins.
I've seen a lot of terrible tattoos.. But there is no way this was voluntary. "Thank you for the application, but we are not hiring right now" is a response this person should get used to hearing.
This is how I feel when I see a spider anywhere near me.
Happy weekend!!
