Above & Below: Blush Hour is a very pale pink creme shade that in my opinion, is probably the least unique of the collection. On the plus side, if you're looking for a shade like this with great coverage in two coats, this would be a great choice.
Some of these shades surprised me by how much their color changed in various lighting, particularly the last two. I can do some comparisons to other shades if you have a questions about how close any of these shades are to other brands, and we'll likely find some that are pretty close. But these are Misa's, so they're in a class of their own! These shades are all cremes, so I'm also looking forward to their second collection called Wishes, because it may offer a wider range of finishes. That is due to be released hopefully this week.
Do you have any favorites from this collection? How many of you have tried Misa and do you love the formula as much as I do?

From his shop in Newhall, Calif., custom motorcycle builder Dustin Kott is creating not only authentic Café Racers, but works of art. Fifteen years ago, Kott began building these motorcycles, whose origin is in mid-century British motorcycle racing, with little intention of turning it into a business.
"None of us had so much as two nickels to rub together," he said during a recent phone interview. "We all just had a passion for riding motorcycles, and we all just loved to disappear. It was nothing short of riding with a wrench in hand to tighten nuts and bolts, as things were falling off the bike."
But doors opened in roundabout ways, and Kott now builds these bikes for customers of all types – some who ride, and others who display the bikes as art. While some customers are relatively new to riding or to Café Racers, others bought the bikes 45 years ago when they were new.
They all share a connection with the motorcycles. "I've done restorations of these bikes for guys who have had them since their teens and twenties," Kott says. "There's a tremendous connection to something that's vintage and antique in that way, and an intimacy involved in building them."
That's his vision: to reach an audience that would not normally care about a motorcycle, and allowing that audience to recognize its beauty.
"It's creating expressive art with a widespread impact," he said. "I try to put as much of myself as possible into each project. While each build is recognizable, I want each bike to be a unique experience."
For Kott, Café Racers provided the opportunity to express his personality. "There's vulnerability, an exposure," he said. "You can't hide anything. There's a minimalist aspect to them. They're not a celebration of noise and flash and loudness. They're rooted in an understated classic celebration of yesteryear, but still alive and vibrant."
Motorcycles have been a part of Kott's life since his father bought him a dirt bike for off-road riding around their home in Northern Los Angeles County. Instead, Kott would take the bike out at dusk and ride for as long as he could. "Being on a motorcycle always made the world feel so big, and it still does," he said. "That's still what attracts me to riding."
Summer evenings are still his favorite time to be on a bike. "I feel like a kid when I'm riding," he said. "I constantly take the long way home."
Coca-Cola 'Embraces the Idea of Americana'
Coca-Cola has been another staple in Kott's life. "As a born-and-raised American, it's inescapable," he said. "It's as much a part of the culture as anything. Everyone in my family was born during the summer, so summertime has always been an important time for our family. There's always a can of Coke in photos of family gatherings at my grandmother's house. There was always Coke in the fridge."
The team was returning to Newhall from the Quail Invitational Motorcycle Show, where they had presented their latest bike – a completely rebuilt 1974 Honda CB 550. Like most of the bikes Kott creates, it came into the shop in ragtag condition, and he was allowed complete artistic freedom to give it new life. As they made their way back on the 101, they spotted an antique Coca-Cola sign in the small, agricultural town of Spreckles, Calif. Kott says there was an old post office, a diner, a yellow wall that looked like the side of an old barn, and the mural.
When asked why he and Martino chose to stop and unload the bike to take pictures, Kott doesn't hesitate.
"First off, the Americana aspect of the Coca-Cola brand. The old Coca-Cola signage, coolers… it embraces and encompasses the idea of Americana. It's so recognizable. I love that. That sort of vintage inspires me and attracts me. Then there was a worn-out, yellowish wall with wood grain starting to come through the paint, the Coca-Cola scheme, and this pastel 1950's bel air blue," Kott noted. "It looked like a movie set. A moment captured in time. You could feel a different era when we were there. It only goes hand in hand with the type of bikes that I'm building because they embody that same kind of spirit and same culture."

Motivational enhancement (ME) shows promise as a means of increasing adherence to CPAP for OSA.
We performed an open-label, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial of CPAP only or CPAP + ME, recruiting individuals 45 to 75 years with moderate or severe OSA without marked sleepiness and with either established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or at risk for CVD. All participants received standardized CPAP support from a sleep technologist; those randomly assigned to CPAP + ME also received standardized ME delivered by a psychologist during two appointments and six phone calls over 32 weeks. Mixed-effect models with subject-specific intercepts and slopes were fitted to compare objective CPAP adherence between arms, adjusting for follow-up duration, randomization factors, and device manufacturer. All analyses were intention-to-treat.
Overall, 83 participants (n = 42 CPAP only; n = 41 CPAP + ME) contributed 14,273 nights of data for 6 months. Participants were predominantly male (67%) and had a mean ± SD age of 63.9 ± 7.4 years, a BMI of 31.1 ± 5.2 kg/m2, and an apnea-hypopnea index of 26.2 ± 12.9 events/h. In our fully adjusted model, average nightly adherence for 6 months was 99.0 min/night higher with CPAP + ME compared with CPAP only (P = .003; primary analysis). A subset of 52 participants remained in the study for 12 months; modeling these data yielded a consistent difference in adherence between arms of 97 min/night (P = .006) favoring CPAP + ME.
ME delivered during brief appointments and phone calls resulted in a clinically significant increase in CPAP adherence. This strategy may represent a feasible approach for optimizing management of OSA.

The classic paedophile hunting TV show 'To Catch A Predator' has been off air for eight years, but show host and journalist Chris Hansen wants one last hurrah, and we're all for it.
The American show aired between 2004 and 2007 as a series of Dateline specials and made waves around the world for its controversy. It also made Hansen an internet legend for catchphrases such as "Hey watcha doing here?" and "Why don't you take a seat over there."
"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen" – COMING SOON to a @Kickstarter near you… @chrishansen #HansenVsPredator
— Hansen vs. Predator (@HansenVPredator) April 9, 2015
According to the L.A. Times, Hansen is set to start a Kickstarter campaign in order to revive the show. It will start on April 16 with a reported goal of $400,000.
It will be an online series entitled Hansen vs. Predator and if it manages to produce scenes as legendary as the following, then we cannot wait!

Graham Westley, who found fame with Farnborough and Stevenage
I had taken Farnborough to an FA Cup tie against Arsenal and I found myself vilified for it. People think I agreed to switch the tie to Highbury to make money.
In actual fact, there was little difference in how much we would make playing home or away. If it was at home, it would be televised, if it was at Highbury, we would get a lot more in gate receipts.
Nobody at the club knew what the exact figures would be. What everyone knew was our ground wasn't stable. It had practically fallen down when Torquay had come there in 1991. Arsenal were putting pressure on us, too. They were asking for guarantees if they came and pointing out they had players worth millions. We had a meeting to discuss playing the tie at home and we all decided it was not practicable. I was the one who had to carry that decision out and, yes, I was vilified.
We prepared properly (even to the extent of going to La Manga to train), I didn't just want to be part of an event, I wanted to win that event. I certainly thought we'd score. I'd worked out a route to goal and we got one [against Arsenal's five], which wasn't bad for a non-league side that had been reduced to 10 men pretty early on.
What do I remember about it? The horrible, bitter taste that we hadn't got a result, that we'd been beaten. I wasn't listening to what Arsène Wenger said to me afterwards. I am sure he said, "Well done", but all that mattered was that we'd lost.
At Stevenage, before we faced Newcastle, I said we would win and I meant it because Stevenage were a good side and I have never known fear to help you when it comes to playing football. We decided we would take the game to them and we relished it.
There were one or two things that rankled with Stevenage. The year before, we had won the Conference but hadn't been allowed up into the Football League because the ground was not deemed good enough. And in 1998 Newcastle had drawn Stevenage in the Cup, tried to have the game shifted to St James' Park on safety grounds, and scored a hotly disputed goal. There were some scores to settle and it was nice to be the manager who settled them.
Did the FA Cup change me? I don't think it does your reputation any harm when you knock out a Premier League side.
More than that, I was part of it. As a kid, FA Cup final day was the one opportunity to watch 90 minutes of football. You got to see the teams on the bus, at the hotel, in the dressing room. I got inside football through the FA Cup and my first memory is the 1974 final – Newcastle being ripped apart by Bill Shankly's Liverpool.
Paul Rogers, who went from non-league to the big time
It completely changed my life. We were at the centre of the football world for weeks – for the Coventry game and the fourth-round tie against Norwich that followed. I was playing for England at semi-pro level and was pretty well known in non-league circles, but nothing more than that.
In 1989 I was working in the City of London as a commodity broker from 7.30 in the morning to 8.30 in the evening three days a week and then I did the early shifts, finishing at 4.30 to jump on the train to Sutton to train, play or travel to matches at Gateshead or Stafford Rangers. There was no free time, apart from the 38 minutes you spent asleep in the carriage.
Coventry were flying. They had won the Cup in 1987, and they were third in the old First Division and had just thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 5-0 when they came to us.
But Sutton had a very settled side who had been together a long time and who were at the top of their level in non-league football. Barrie Williams, who smoked a pipe in the dugout, was a very different, studious manager who quoted Kipling. He was a methodical man with an upbringing as a teacher who very rarely lost his temper.
That said, however confident you are as a non-league team, there is always that fear of being humiliated which I think spurred us on. There are elements of the game I can remember even now but at the post-match party we had put so much effort into it that by 9.30 we were physically and mentally exhausted.
I was in the office on a Tuesday afternoon and got a call from someone who said he was Dave Bassett, the manager of Sheffield United. He wanted me to discuss a contract. I took his number and said I'd phone him back as it was so obviously a wind-up.
The next day, I was meeting the chairman, Derek Dooley, and preparing to become a top-flight footballer. I didn't have an agent and negotiated my own contract. I watched them playing at Southampton on the Saturday and turned out for their reserves against Liverpool on the Monday night at Bramall Lane.
From working every hour of every day I was now working two hours a day. In every conceivable way it was a life-changing experience. Within a month, I was in the first team.
The FA Cup will always be part of my life and working for Brighton as we prepare to play Newcastle it will always be a central part of any team outside the top eight in the Premier League.
It provides money, glamour and exposure and so I know exactly how the lads from Hastings are feeling, preparing for their day at Middlesbrough.
Who knows how their lives might change?
Theo Paphitis, former Millwall chairman
Theo Paphitis was chairman of Millwall in 2004 when the second-tier club reached the Cup final. Dennis Wise's side lost 3-0 to Manchester United in Cardiff. He is now a shareholder in Isthmian League side, Walton and Hersham, and star of Dragons' Den
Often we look at football through rose-coloured glasses but Millwall represented some of the best years of my life, creating memories that are up there with marrying Mrs P and the birth of my kids.
When I came to Britain, I lived not far from Old Trafford and for me there was no other club than Manchester United, until I discovered south London when I met Mrs P. Millwall ended up playing United in the final, but the pivotal game was the semi-final against Sunderland at Old Trafford. The only way that script could have been improved was if we had beaten United in injury time in the final.
I originally planned to step down before the Cup run but we had just lost our sponsor. It was my company, Rymans, who eventually put their name on the shirts.
I'd always told the directors at Rymans that Millwall was my indulgence and I would never confuse it with business. Then I had to pitch up and say: "Have I got a deal for you – sponsoring Millwall and we need the shirts printed in 20 hours." They looked at me as if they were going to section me.
I still go to football matches with Dennis Wise and we always talk about those days – especially the semi-final. Everyone at Sunderland thought they were going to win and the abiding image is Tim Cahill scoring the winner and running round the stadium topless.
Compared to the semi, my memories of the final are just a haze because we were just so brilliantly pleased to get there. We had kids on the bench and we didn't think for one minute we would beat Manchester United. We never thought of ourselves as losers.
It showed another side of Millwall. I used to tell fans who complained that the coverage of the club wasn't fair, that life isn't fair and that we would just have to work 10 times harder.
Dennis came over recently and gave a box and inside was his FA Cup medal. He wanted to give it to me and I told him not to be so silly, and then he said: "But I've got others".

LIMA (AFP) – With her straw hat and peasant dress, Maxima does not look like the type to take on a global mining giant, but as she gazes out from her small house in the Peruvian highlands she is adamant: this is her land.
Maxima Acuna de Chaupe lives with her husband, four children and son and daughter-in-law on a small farm that sits on the land where Yanacocha, a subsidiary of US mining giant Newmont, wants to expand South America's largest open-pit gold mine.
The firm is facing widespread opposition to the $4.8-billion gold- and copper-mining project from the local community and the regional government of Cajamarca in northern Peru, which says the mine expansion will put the water supply at risk.
Maxima, 48, has become the face of that resistance. For four years the illiterate peasant farmer has been fight-ing the mining company in a court battle that took a dramatic turn last week when she tried to build an addition on her house and Yanacocha tore it down.
"I can show that we have owned this land since 1994. All my papers are in order," Maxima told AFP.
"What counts here are documents. Let them show their documents! If they're the owners, let them present the bill of sale, the document with my signature that says I sold this land," said Maxima, an indigenous woman with a chiseled face who wears bright traditional clothing and the wide-brimmed straw hat that is customary in the region.
Maxima's farm is a 25-hectare (60-acre) plot at an altitude of nearly 4,000 metres (13,000 feet) in the hamlet of Tragadeogrande. Yanacocha claims it bought the land in 1996 from the local department of Sorochuco.
It pressed charges against her for invasion of property, but Maxima was acquitted. Her lawyer, Mirtha Vasquez of environmental defence group Grufides, says the matter should have ended there.
But when the family tried to expand its small house, Yanacocha workers demolished the cement addition, with the help of the police, according to Maxima.
"They want to make me leave by force. They see that I'm poor, that I don't know how to read and they think I can't stand up for my rights. But I have my documents. I've got no reason to be humiliated or afraid," she said by telephone.
With her lawyer's help, Maxima has now brought charges of her own against Yanacocha for invasion of property.
Since 2011, the mining company has had to suspend prospecting in the region over concerns about the environmental impact of its plans to drain the area's high-altitude lagoons and replace them with artificial reservoirs.
Those plans have only strengthened Maxima's resolve.

RallyX // Information
Doing a little website side project and wanted to see if anyone would think this is a good/****ty idea or have suggestions. The site displays all the rallycross organizations and schools on a map of the US to help people find events in their area.
Also have a map of the national events held by Rally America and NASA Rally Sport:
National Stage Rally Events
That would be the main purpose of the site, but if it gets enough traction it would be nice for it to be the place to build a community and be the "go to" for any rallycross information/tips.

The SSD Anthology: Understanding SSDs and New Drives from OCZby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 18, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- Storage
Restoring Your Drive to Peak Performance
Based on my explanation there's one sure-fire way to make your drive fast again. Formatting/deleting everything on the drive won't work because those pages on the drive will remain full of data.
If you are doing a clean setup of your machine and want to restore your drive to its native state you'll have to perform a secure erase. Intel distributed a tool with the first X25-M review kits called HDD ERASE. This tool will take any SSD and free every last page on the drive. Obviously you'll lose all of your data but your drive will be super fast again!
In order for HDDERASE to work you need to have your SATA controller running in Legacy IDE mode, you can select this in your BIOS. Your drive will have to be connected to one of the first four SATA ports off of the controller.
Boot to a command prompt (I just use a bootable DOS image on my USB stick) and run the executable. Answer its questions carefully and with honor.
Tell it you would like to perform a secure erase (an extended one isn't necessary) and when it asks you if you wish to view LBA 0 you can say no. Reboot your machine (don't forget to set your SATA controller back to whatever mode you had it in before, e.g. RAID or AHCI), partition your drive and you're back in business.
On a good SSD I don't believe there's a need to secure erase periodically, but whenever you format or re-image your drive, I'd recommend a secure erase since you're killing all of your data anyway.

Gootch - Sunday, April 19, 2009 - linkGreat article. Realy made me understand what I need to look at before making the plunge. Mistakes and all, my compliments. As for value between the now seemingly drastically improved Vertex vs the X25-M, I compared prices between the two and per Gb, the Intell product for say an 80 Gb drive is Can $5.86/Gb, while the OCZ 60 Gb SSD is Can $6.81/Gb. Now that we are no longer comparing apples and oranges, I think we need to point out that the Intel product is not only faster and maintains it's performance edge better, but it is cheaper per Gb. At least in Canada. I have many OCZ products and I love the company and it's customer support. I can only hope that they will make their SSDs more competitive in the near future, because most consumers will pay the extra 70 bucks and go with the X25 when they pay attention to the numbers, both performance and price. Reply
Baffo - Saturday, April 11, 2009 - linkI could forsee a whole host of issues with encrypting SSD drives, not the least of which is essentially making the drive completely "used" outside of the drive slack space - which would be a temporary reprieve for the reasons discussed in this article. However, I could also see potential performance and lifetime issues since modern encryption uses streaming ciphers (e.g. an entire encrypted block - which may or may not conform to the physical block size will be changed for even one bit change within the block itself). Has anyone looked at the resultant effect on performance due to using encryption - it would be good to compare say Bitlocker, PGP, Checkpoint, and an open source encryption solution (Crypt or something like that?). This could actually become a real driver for moving to on-drive encryption where it would have the opportunity to optimize the encrpytion for the pro/cons of the SSD architecture. Reply
brandensilva - Friday, April 10, 2009 - linkGreat article! I respect that OCZ made the necessary changes to make this drive work. I'd rather take a slightly slower drive if it meant consistent performance.
If my hard drive started to stutter I'd flip out! I'm glad that they took the feedback and instead of selling faulty drives, that would ultimately hurt their brand, they decided to go back to the drawing board and iron out the kinks. I'm not expecting them to compare to Intel's 25-M per price or performance. They don't have nearly the cash or manufacturing capacity to compete with Intel but they do have that small business feel with receiving feedback and making improvements, which is important to customers.
Lets hope they continue to utilize that aspect of their business and further improve on their products and bring us some reliable SSD's in the future. Reply

sfisher64 - Wednesday, April 08, 2009 - linkI just purchased a Dell Latitude E6400 with a 64GB Ultra Performance Solid State Drive. Does anyone know what type of drive this is, and where it fits in the spectrum described in this article? Reply
Baffo - Saturday, April 11, 2009 - linkThe Dells use the Samsung drives (you should see this on the bottom if you pull it out). However, as much as I wish this was one of the newer controllers (I have a few of these at work as well), the testing cycles demanded by Dell probably mean these are the older controllers. Reply
marraco - Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - linkThis article is popular :) Reply
jesusclay - Monday, November 14, 2016 - linkAll issues related to SSD are indeed important, since the storage of all current computers opts (when possible) for the SSD.

Hi. I am looking for a Certified Nurse Midwife in the Dallas / Fort Worth area that offers home births as well as in home prenatal visits. My insurance will only cover a CNM but I'm having trouble finding one that does the home prenatal visits. Any recommendations?
Did you ever find an answer to this question? What did you decide to do? (I'm curious as I'm currently trying to find & choose a midwife.)
Jess, happy wife to Doug, mom to E (ds10), B (ds8), M (dd6), S (ds4), M (ds2), and a little 2013 valentine (dsT, due 2/18)

Hi! Sorry for the slow reply and no, I never did get an answer. I found a few midwives who do home births but no home visits. They were all about an hour away from me so I did not use them. That was too long of a drive for me and I was afraid they might not make it to me in time for baby's arrival! I had my beautiful baby boy a month ago and he was delivered at Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth by Lindsey Kragle, CNM and I can not say enough wonderful things about her. She is part of the UNT midwife group and I can not recommend or praise them enough. They were a 30 min. drive for me but they were so wonderful that it was worth it. There are six of them and you see a different one every time you go, that way, no matter which one is on call when you deliver you know them and don't have to worry about being delivered by a stranger. They were so kind and accommodating and their treatment is very non invasive. I have never felt so in control of my health care options. They don't force tests or routine but unnecessary exams or anything on you like an OB does. Every single one of them was so happy and kind every time I saw them and they didn't rush through the visits. They were so sweet with my 5 year old DD who I brought with me. They let her measure my belly and run the doppler for the heartbeat. They knew we wanted DD to be in the delivery room and were very supportive. I was disappointed at first that I would have to deliver in a hospital but I ended up having some minor but scary complications and DH and I both said we are so glad we were in a hospital because it would not have been so easily handled at home. In fact, when I regained consciousness the first thing I said was, "Omg I'm so glad we didn't do this at home!" Lindsey was absolutely wonderful! She was so supportive and calming to me and my family. She was so kind to DD and talked to her the whole time, involving her and letting her really be a part of the experience. She even let her cut the cord! My main problem with a hospital birth was based on my experience when DD was born (different hospital) they took her to the nursery and wouldn't let DH go with her and they were just very pushy with their policies. Harris Methodist is a 'Baby Friendly' hospital which means they encourage rooming in because it promotes breastfeeding. Babies certainly can go to the nursery for a while but they don't take them away from you. The nurses were all so sweet and listened to what I wanted for me and DS. The hospital pediatrician came to our room to examine DS instead of rounding all the babies up in the nursery for the routine checks, and any tests they needed to do were done in my room. No one ever tried to take him from me. At first they said they needed to take him to the nursery for some test and when I asked if I could go too they said "we'll just do it in here so you don't have to move, honey." and then they wheeled in all of the heavy machines they needed. I have never seen such kind and accommodating hospital staff in my life! Sorry this reply is so long but I wanted to really share with you my experience. I hope I have helped you in your decision. Let me know if you have any other questions and congrats on your LO!

Bug Tracking Tools - Best Option For You
Bug Tracking Tools help to fix the problem of constant stream of issues or bugs in any software Application program.
Bug Tracking Tools by Rommana Software helps to identify the bugs or issue in a centralized place which is used to store documents and attach files to issues. However, when you report a bug without attaching screenshots or writing comments on a remarks board, it becomes difficult to understand what's causing the problem and how to fix it. Performing tasks according to the priority of the defect tracking activity ensures that the most important ones are completed first. Project managers find it difficult to run a project with bugs or issue in them, so it becomes necessary to fix the problem as soon as possible. If they don't know at any given moment how many open issues are there, which bugs can be postponed until the next release and how long it takes for the bugs to be fixed.
Rommana Software provides the best quality Bug Tracking Tools for you so that you can complete, real-time access over the Internet to the development and execution of your tests. This tool allows you to view and supervise the work being done on the project during every phase from start to finish. Rommana Software can be identified as your resource for software testing. The company assists you with manual or automated testing tool for a wide variety of projects.

Hey guys! Wow, is it good to be back...I'm truly sorry for keeping you all waiting. It seems like I gave you excuse after excuse. But, no more of that. Today I decided that I am spending all day writing. Just writing. Since I owed you guys a lot. And of course, this one. I had horrible writer's block, and was stressed, and lots of things were happening, that I was afraid to even write 'cause I figured it would come out terrible. Frankly, I'm not happy with it. Even though the writers' block isn't officially gone, i'm feeling concentrated. I hope this one is a little better. And I would reaaaallllly appreciate reviews. I mean really.
This story is dedicated to one of my bestfriends, Christina, btw. (;
And without another moment to spare...
A curse was hissed under breath. So hushed, that you couldn't even make out what it was. It was accompanied by a set of swats, and smacks.
"Shit." The young Mutt Williams uttered. Scorpions, the worst possible thing in the world. And his all-time biggest fear. And to make things worse, there was a lot of them. They had seemed to come out of,well...nowhere. One minute he's leaning against the wall, looking for some time of secret entrance or something. The next, they were crawling up his jacket sleeve! One of them even managed to sting him, just before he ripped off his jacket and threw it to the floor.
Indiana Jones turned around, smirking a bit. "Dance on your own time, kid."
Mutt frowned slightly. Did he really look that ridiculous? Right before Indy had the chance to turn around, the 17 year old muttered a response. "One of 'em stung me, am I gonna die?!" His voice frantic, and anybody could tell the boy was terrified.
"How big?" Indy immediately asked. Sure, he was a little worried. He was basically in charge of the kid. And imagine what the poor boy's mother would say!
"HUUUGGEEE." Mutt explained. Eyes widening for dramatic effect.
Indy let out another quick smirk, then turned back around, continuing onwards. "Good."
Mutt was shocked. "GOOD?! What do you mean good?"
"When it comes to scorpions, kid.."Indy turned around quickly, '' The bigger, the better. Small one gets ya, don't keep it to yourself.."
As the older man went forwards, continuing to look for anything, the younger boy sighed. Well, if the old man was right, he'd be fine. He was trusting him. He carefully reached down and grabbed a hold of his leather jacket, shaking it violently. Thankfully, nothing appeared to be inside. He slowly slipped it back on, and went on following the man.
Jeeze, what could make the day worse? He asked himself, as he made sure he wasn't setting himself up for that again as he ran his hand over the wall. The only reason he was there was to get his mom, and Ox. Although this whole adventure thing, was really exhilarating. But, only after getting attacked by that pack of scorpions, did he just want to find his mother, and for them to go home.
Shaking, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a small black comb. As Indy was examining something, he ran the comb through his hair. With all that gel, it hadn't even looked terrible. Even after battling with the living dead, and such. But, the shaking, and the comb, had created a small clanking noise. Indy turned around, and shook his head. "What are you doing?" He sighed.
Mutt jumped a little, before looking over at the older man. "Put that thing away.."
As quickly as he'd taken it out, it was jammed right back into his back pocket. The emptiness in his hand was easily replaced by the lantern the older man had shoved into them. "Gimme some light, would ya?" Of course, this would take the boy's mind off everything else.
Mutt nodded dumbly, then held it up. Indy felt along the wall, to something he thought may have been an entrance. He poked his hand through a hole, and tugged on something. Quickly, an entrance appeared. They both peeked their heads into it.
It was rather disgusting. Cob webs everywhere. So much, you couldn't even see the other side of it. But, as soon as he'd looked it over, Indy was already crawling in.
"Where are you going?.." the boy asked, though he was ignored. He watched the man continue to make his way through the jungle of webs. "Well, you're going nowhere fast."
Indy reached a wall. "I really don't think there's anything back there. Except, a ton of spiders, maybe." Mutt said, more to himself than anything. "Professor, I really think it's a dead end!" He called out.
When Indy positioned his body weight differently, the floor he was crawling on began to change. Now the end he was on, was moving itself down, revealing an entrance. He quickly turned around to the boy, before the wall closed in, and they couldn't see eachother anymore. Indy went forth, looking at what the entrance was, then back to the wall. He positioned his weight again, and the floor did as before. As soon as the boy's somewhat shocked face was revealed, Indy had used his index finger to call him over.
"Come on, Genious." He smirked, "and bring the backpack."
well then. that's over with. yes. it was rather short, yes i know. but i'm just getting started. i'd really like reviews, if it isn't too much to ask. this chapter was rather difficult though. because i still have some writer's block. and because this is the first part of the story. but i guess it's ok. so there you have it. the first chapter, of the rewrite. i hope you liked it.
until next time..

sisters who are skanks....keepin it all in the family.

Where were their parents?????
#3 Oct 1, 2008
They're f'in children [email protected]@ss!
#4 Oct 1, 2008
When I asked where their parents were I meant How did these girls get to Atlantic City and work as prostitutes and their parents were not aware????? Did they not check up on where their children were going??
#5 Oct 1, 2008
Not every parent is a role model for their kids! They were probably runaways or came from a f**ked up family!
#6 Oct 1, 2008
mom or dad (two not living together) probably getting a cut---or mom's boyfriend the pimp.

Well, at least they will go from being Pimps to being Pimped in prison!!
#9 Oct 1, 2008
You're probably right and girls from such families are precisely the type that pimps look for. They tell them they love them, they'll protect and look after them, they give them clothes, money, more than likely drugs as well, to keep them dependent. Then they put them out on the street. They prey on girls who are confused and have nowhere to turn; that's one reason I get upset when people say that prostitution is a "victimless" crime.
#10 Oct 1, 2008
but, thanks to women's lib, some girls are just plain skanks.
lots of 18 year old girls in hard core porn (not that i check out 18 year old girls in hard core porn),
United States
#11 Oct 1, 2008
OMG! Where are the parents? Are there parents?
#12 Oct 1, 2008
And had runaway Whor-moans....
#13 Oct 1, 2008
Shoot him.
#14 Oct 1, 2008
"Thanks to women's lib?" I've been on this planet for many years, and several of those years were BEFORE "women's lib," and there were "skanks" back then, as well. Maybe not as open about their activities, but still.... As a former emergency services worker I got to hear a lot of first-hand stories of how young girls become prostitutes. Not very nice stories, either. And how do we KNOW that the "18 year old girls in hard-core porn" originally started out WANTING to do that? Granted, some probably did, but I'm still willing to bet that many of these girls took up with low-lifes who said they loved them, then went on to "if you really loved ME, you'd do this movie, turn some tricks, etc." Oh well, guess nothings' changed from the "old days," it's still easier to blame the women for what men do to them.
#15 Oct 1, 2008
austrailian, 1970s, feminist, germaine greer, got in trouble lately with younger feminists for saying the legal age teens in porn are doing stuff they really don't want to do.
lots of young girls influenced by hollywood, such movies as PRETTY WOMAN---which is politically incorrect to admit; censorship fears.
and, then there's the popular song REDNECK WOMEN.
might as well still believe that heroin addicts started from some painful life---instead of realizing teens today take heroin way yesterday's teens drank beer.
yeah, liberal media still cons people into believing men are to blame for all women's ills, but wrong to blame women for anything bad men do.
#16 Oct 2, 2008
Both Girls were reported as runaways in Allentown. Parents had nothing to do with it. Just a really bad case of teenage rebellion and a scum bag that saw an opportunity to take advantage and make some cash. Im not saying that the girls didnt know that what they were doing was wrong, but you show me a teenage girl that just ran away from home that doesnt want to make a couple hundred dollars in one night. Just saying that the parents are victims, not responsible.
#17 Oct 2, 2008
I am sorry but I raised 3 girls who were teenagers and they never rebelled enough to be prostitutes. It was because I knew where they went and who they went with and they knew what time they had to be home. It is called being a parent I have no use for lame excuses, like they are teenagers and parents didn't know anything. Why not???? That is their profession. Where were they. How long before a missing persons alert was put out.
#18 Oct 6, 2008
"Victimless" crime. That's a way of looking at it that I never thought of, thanks!

Calcutta: McDowell Mohun Bagan's new coach Karim Bencharifa stressed on the importance of his partnership with Nigerian striker Okolie Odafe on Monday.
Karim, who was officially unveiled as the chief coach of Bagan on Monday, told a packed media conference that he owes his success as a coach in India to Odafe.
"During my stint (2006-08) with Churchill Brothers, Odafe was one of the key members in the side. We shared a good rapport and our partnership was crucial to the team's success.
"The relationship was fruitful for both of us. He blossomed under my coaching and became the top-scorer in the I-League for two consecutive seasons… I have also gained from his goal-poaching skills. In India, whatever I'm today is because of him and I thank him for that.
"As I start my preparations to helm Bagan again, I'm looking forward in continuing the fruitful partnership with Odafe. To be frank, I actually have two dreams… At the end of the I-League, I want to see Odafe as the top-scorer and I also want the team to win the title," the Moroccan said.
For Karim, this was his 'second homecoming'. He was earlier the coach of Bagan in 2008-09 and was unceremoniously removed in the middle of the 2009-10 season. He joined Salgaocar before making his return with Bagan.
Karim revealed that his relationship with Odafe was so good that he had wanted the Nigerian in his squad when he was at the Bagan helm. "At the start of my second season with Bagan, I had planned to bring Odafe to Bagan. However, it didn't materialise."
Speaking further about his relation with Odafe, the coach said: "Odafe is a star … You cannot treat him the same way you would treat the rest of the team. So, managing him will be one of the key elements of my job."
Talking about his return to Bagan, Karim said there was no bad blood between him and the club. "If my relationship with the club was not good, I wouldn't have returned. It's a new challenge and I enjoy taking up challenges."
Under Karim, Bagan had won the Federation Cup and came runners-up in the 2008-09 I-League. Since then, Bagan have fared poorly in the national level competitions. In the ongoing season, Bagan are placed fifth in the I-League table while they made an early exit in the Federation Cup.
Asked how he plans to change the fortunes of the team, Karim said: "I had to motivate the Salgaocar players a lot. The Bagan squad has a lot of quality. We have garnered 10 points from the last four matches. And I want to build on the success.
"I am aware of my responsibilities. We are now four points behind the leaders…
"It's not a big gap and we are confident of making progress in the group table."

What is ukiyo-e?
Before the appearance of ukiyo-e, Japanese art called "Yamato-e" were mainstream paintings geared towards the Imperial Court, samurais and their families, shrines and temples, and the rest of the upper echelons of society.
However, after entering the Edo Period, commerce and industry developed rapidly. Those called "the masses," the lowest level of society, their culture bloomed like a flower in the heart of Edo. The customs and everyday scenery of those people became the mainstream in art. Those drawings came to be known as "ukiyo-e."
From the middle of the Edo Period, the technique of woodblock printing advanced rapidly and commoners were able to buy good quality woodblock prints cheaply.
The origin of ukiyo-e's large movement was the appearance of super popular ukiyo-e artists at the start of the Edo Period.
Hishikawa Moronobu
Hishikawa Moronobu [Public domain]/Wikimedia Commons
Masterpiece: Mikaeri Bijinzu ("Looking Back Beauty")
He was an ukiyo-e artist representative of the early days of the Edo Period. Around this time, hand-painted ukiyo-e were mainstream.
Kitagawa Utamaro
喜多川歌麿 [Public domain]/Wikimedia Commons
This is a star ukiyo-e artist that debuted in the beginning of the Edo Period's middle ages.
He established the painting technique called "Ookubi-e," where the faces are emphasized.
Utagawa Toyokuni I
He was an artist whose name was spread due to the maturity of his ookubi-e, which featured actors.
Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai [Public domain]/Wikimedia Commons
Masterpiece: Aka Fuji ("Red Fuji")
He's an ukiyo-e artist so famous his name is known around the world. The work done in his later years is especially full of masterpieces.
Utagawa Hiroshige
He was known as a worthy rival of Hokusai. His paintings of scenic and historic places are especially superb.
Toushuusai Sharaku
Masterpiece: Ootani Oniji no Edobei ("Ootani Oniji's Edo Soldier")
In the middle of the Edo Period, this genius ukiyo-e artist appeared like a comet. His real name, birth and death dates, birthplace, and other personal details have long been unknown.
According to the latest research, there's a prevailing theory that he was the Noh actor Saitou Juurobei (1763-1820).
Keisai Eisen
This famous ukiyo-e artist painted sensual, decadent, and voluptuous beauties. He's the ukiyo-e artist representative of the latter years of the Edo period.

Chart of the Day - 4/08/2009 – USD/CAD
(Chart courtesy of FX Solutions' FX AccuCharts. Price on 1st pane, Slow Stochastics on 2nd pane; horizontal support/resistance levels in yellow; uptrend lines in green; downtrend lines in red; 50-period simple moving average in light blue.)
4/08/2009 € USD/CAD € Price action on USD/CAD, a daily chart of which is shown, has recently been forming a converging consolidation of progressively decreasing volatility. This triangle-like consolidation is bordered to the downside by a very significant uptrend support line with at least five touches, extending from a low in mid-October. To the upside, the converging consolidation is bordered by a downtrend resistance line extending from the fourth test of the 1.3 high in mid-March. Currently, price is wavering near the bottom of the consolidation. Any significant break to the downside of the uptrend support line could target strong further support around the important 1.2000 support/resistance price region. To the upside, the noted downtrend resistance line should provide strong resistance as the top of the current consolidation. Any break above this dynamic resistance should meet further major resistance in the 1.2700 price region.

Local Theater News and Notes: Bee There
Normally, this uber-cool publication wouldn't touch anything as apparently middle-of-the-road as the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Any musical that the New York Times would call "lovably inconsequential and entirely loveable," is obviously not close enough to hip to dirty our paws upon.
But, since this marks the first production of 3-D Theatricals since its boffo smash, The Altar Boys, came out last month, the show deserves a closer look.
Framed around a Midwest spelling bee where six angst-riddled adolescents desperately compete for the first place trophy, the audience-interactive musical is, by all accounts, more fun than bacon-wrapped chocolate cake.
It also has some decent creative heft behind it. It actually began as a straight, albeit rough around the edges, play titled C-R-E-P-E-S-C-U-L-E, written by an improv comedy group that happened to have as one of its members the nanny of playwright Wendy Wasserstein. Wasserstein, who wrote the hugely popular The Heidi Chronicles (among many other plays before she died at the age of 55 in 2006), liked what she saw and hit up her pal, William Finn, the musical brains behind the show Falsettos.

Finn worked with creator Rebecca Feldman to turn the play into a full-length musical. It opened in New York in 2005 to great reviews and audiences, and has enjoyed a fertile shelf life at regional theaters and community theaters across the county since then.
One reason: Each show, four audience members are chosen at spelling bee contestants, which adds a different tone each night.
On an entirely different note, the Garage Theater in Long Beach--a very left-of-theatrical-center storefront troupe that's been doing rough and edgy work in the International City for several years--has two weeks left for its critically acclaimed profane send-up of Bill Shakespeare's Masure for Measure, Measure for Pleasure. Trannies, dildos, sex-cults and plenty of other peverse accountrement turn this already raucous Shakespeare comedy into something far decadent.
The show's received good buzz, and even landed a sterling review on the Huffington Post from Long Beach-based critic James Scarborough. The clever wag likened the tone of the piece to "Liberace playing Mozart," and said it crosses "the lapidary wit of Oscar Wilde with the guttural iterations of the Pogues."
And let's not forget two other shows that opened in downtown Fullerton last week and also generating buzzy vibes: the Monkey Wrench Collective's production of Mark Ravenhill's darkly hinged comedy Pool No Water, and Stages Theatre's Steel Dragnolias, a drag sendup of Steel Magnolias, which is also playing at Stages. Opening night last Friday earned a rare accolade for the latter: a standing ovation. Audience demand has been so high that three Sunday shows have been added.
As far as the Monkey Wrenchers, they're offering something a bit different in terms of comp tickets: Anyone who blogs about the show gets in free. (Uh, does that mean I don't have to pay?)
Finally, a new group on Facebook called OC Theater Reviews will offer theater reviews of local productions from people who give a shit. The group will also post audition notices and let you know what shows are coming up. We're all for more conversation about local theater, but remember this, people: We're all critics--but only a select, chosen few actually get paid for it!

UPDATE: Minnesota couple killed in Henry County crash
Two adults were killed Saturday afternoon when the vehicle they were riding in slammed into a semi on I-70 near the State Road 3 exit in Henry County.
A teen who was in the vehicle was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries and then taken by air ambulance to an Indianapolis Hospital.
Henry County Sheriff's Department responded to the 4 vehicle accident at 12:13 p.m. The accident involved two passenger cars and two semi tractor trailers.
Investigators say a white Toyota was struck from the rear by a semi being driven by Richard Engstrom, 59, Indianapolis.
The Toyota was then pushed into the rear of another semi being driven by Sheridan Crum, 58, Florida.
The Toyota also struck a vehicle that was sitting behind one of the semis. It was driven by Kevin Ruble, 45, Indianapolis.
Three people were trapped inside the white Toyota. The driver and a front seat passenger were pronounced dead at the scene. A 13 year old passenger in the Toyota was airlifted from the scene and transported to Riley Hospital.
The driver and passenger were identified as Sylvia Shaw, 66, and John Shaw, 66, both of New Brighton, Minnesota
The drivers of the trucks were not injured.
I-70 westbound was closed for a short time while emergency workers treated the victims.
At the time of crash, traffic was at stop for an unknown reason. The crash is
still under investigation.

Education funding reforms
Reforms announced in the 2015 Autumn Statement (November 2015) change the funding model for a range of pre-registration non-medical courses previously funded by Health Education England (HEE) through its commissioned programme of courses and the provision of NHS Bursaries. From 1 August 2017, the long term funding model for these courses will be through the standard student support provided by the student loan company. Student loans will cover the cost of tuition fees and means tested maintenance loans will support for living costs. The Department of Health conducted a 12-week consultation on how the reforms are to be implemented. That closed on 30 June 2016.
On 15 December 2016, the Department of Health published its policy plus transitional arrangements and the rationale for the changes.
The Government response to the consultation confirmed that there would be no changes to the 2016/17 clinical placement provision arrangements, and similarly the arrangements for clinical placement funding would remain in place for the 2017/18 academic year.
HEE local teams will arrange for 2016/17 clinical placement agreements to be extended to cover 2017/18. This decision is intended to provide universities and placement providers with an opportunity to develop their approaches to organising and funding additional placements as the anticipated expansion of university students emerges.
HEE held a series of engagement events last year when we listened to the views of widely diverse stakeholders across the country. Their comments would inform proposals for the development of a new system for planning and governing NHS funding of non-medical clinical placements (frequently asked questions taken from those events are available to download from this page). The events included consideration of how we invest placement funding in a way that meets HEE's responsibilities in relation to quality as well as workforce numbers; reflects HEE's 2015 funding settlement and supports the intended expansion of overall numbers of nursing, midwifery and most allied health professional students described in the 2015 Spending Review.

Yesterday I did a Slow Church webinar in conjunction with The Presbyterian Outlook. They asked me to give a benediction at the end of the webinar, and so I decided to share that benediction here. (Apologies that we haven't posted much here in recent months!) Lord God, Giver of all gifts, who loves and abundantly sustains the whole of your creation. We come humbly before you, with gratitude for all you have given us in our churches and in our neighborhoods.

"Pray Without Ceasing…" [Awkward Christian Signs]
I was talking recently to some friends about the nature of prayer, and what it might mean to pray without ceasing (a topic that might merit some reflection on this blog in the near future), but while we were talking, some of them pointed me to this nearby sign...I'm sure the sign is merely a product of careless inattention to what is being said... (which is bad enough in itself) BUT it also stands as a powerful sort of reminder of the many shortcuts we take in our Western Christianity, and how we reduce the Gospel to fit our convenience. Such shortcuts were a key impetus in John and I … [Read more...]

The nature of modern Western cukture is to eliminate as many of the contingencies … [Read more...]
A Prayer for Slow Churches from Oscar Romero
I was recently reminded of this prayer from Oscar Romero and thought that it was a lovely theological meditation on what it means to be a slow church. It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings … [Read more...]

Hollow calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles were synthesized by bubbling CO2 in the solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2) with the presence of ammonia at room temperature. Hollow calcium carbonate is a potential component to be used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and catalysis. This paper investigated the effect of additive on the hollow structure. In this study was used vanadate ion as additive agent. Physical characteristics of precipitate were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Foreign funds stay optimistic on Brazil, favoring buyouts
By Guillermo Parra-Bernal
RIO DE JANEIRO, April 8 (Reuters) - Global private-equity funds are looking to Brazil at a time when many local firms are watching from the sidelines, betting that lucrative investment opportunities remain despite recent economic and political turmoil.
Executives at foreign buyout and consultancy firms at an industry summit in Rio de Janeiro this week are discussing potential deals, fundraising efforts and business opportunities in an economy that appears headed for its steepest recession in two decades.
While local peers are reluctant to pursue mergers and acquisitions before President Dilma Rousseff's administration wins congressional approval for spending cuts, Advent International Corp and foreign rivals are trying to get ahead. Last month, Advent purchased for-profit university Faculdade da Serra Gaúcha, marking its return to Brazil's education sector.
The Brazilian currency's 26 percent slump in the past year has made M&A targets more affordable, but it may hurt firms that are slated to return money to clients later this year, executives said.
An increased willingness to deploy money in Brazil does not mean that foreign funds will engage in a reckless buying frenzy, said Carlos Asciutti, a partner specializing in transactions at global consulting company EY. Discipline and the ability to acquire companies in fast-growing sectors that grow their business within the life cycle of a fund will be the norm for private equity-fueled M&A in Brazil this year.
"You see locals more cautious and foreigners a little more focused on the long run, more optimistic," Asciutti said on the sidelines of the event, which was sponsored by ABVCAP, the group representing buyout and venture capital firms in Brazil.
Despite the recent fizzling of a decade-long boom that lured hundreds of billions of dollars in investments, Brazil remains the largest recipient of private-equity money in Latin America, accounting for about 58 percent of the value of buyouts and 46 percent of the region's deals, according to data by industry group Lavca, formally the Latin American Private Equity and Venture Capital Association.
Potential deals may focus on sectors and companies that are resilient to economic downturns and whose management is savvy enough to ride out tough cycles, David Mussafer, Advent's managing partner, told Reuters on Tuesday. Continuación...

A One Minute Battle Vegeta's Life Risking Stall Tactics! (勝負は1分間 ベジータ命懸けの時間稼ぎ!, Shōbu wa Ippunkan Bejīta Inochigake no Jikan Kasegi!) is the one hundred fifty-third episode of Dragon Ball Z Kai. Its Japanese air date is May 17, 2015.
Super Saiyan 3 Goku still cannot win. He and Majin Buu continue the battle, but everytime Goku blasts him, he regenerates. Goku tries everything, the Kamehameha included, and finally completely disintegrates Buu. But of course, Buu begins his regeneration. Goku pleads that he needs at least one minute to gather enough energy to kill Buu, and Vegeta promises to buy Goku that time. However, if Vegeta dies while he is dead, he will be lost forever. Vegeta says he doesn't care, he's going to fight Buu anyways. Vegeta powers up, and Goku begins to gather what energy he needs to win. Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta fights Buu, but Buu is definitely stronger still. Vegeta uses every trick he has to buy Goku time, but a minute still isn't enough. Vegeta is knocked over by Buu, but he transforms back into Super Saiyan 2 and begins his assault again, but he soon will be powerless to do anything, and if he dies, not only will he be lost forever, but the universe will be doomed. Goku still isn't finished gathering what he needs. The battle is far from over.

when tuning up and changing spark plugs, I found oil in the spark plug well. Guessing this means a ring job. What is the estimated cost for this repair?

valve cover gasket
Definately the valve cover gasket , Just had to do it to my 'Rolla

Oil in the spark plug well if these spark plugs are recessed down a well in the valve cover would indicate the valve cover gasket tube seal gasket is bad. Oil on the spark plug/in the combustion chamber would indicate an internal engine problem such as worn valve guide, worn piston rings.
