But even though she's run two successful parliamentary campaigns and has taken on conservative members of Afghan society, she is shocked by how easily some male members of parliament are now publicly threatening their female counterparts in the middle of parliamentary meetings.
"A [male] member of parliament stood up in our general meeting yesterday and said parliament is not a place for women, your time is up here, you must not pursue this fight for women's rights," says Ms. Barakzai.
For many of the Afghan women leaders, dealing with sexism and discrimination isn't anything new. But women's rights activists say that male parliamentarians have recently intensified a war of words inside parliament. It's a war that many Afghan women worry echoes a greater issue in society and could reverse public tolerance and support for women's rights.

When a developer is told to create a video game, the average mind will always drift to what has already been done. Given a blank canvas with which to work and the mind is assailed by the tyranny of possibility, creating nothing. The mind needs some structure and limitations to create, and often they are the limitations that creators impose on themselves. And often those self imposed limitations are the conventions of what has come before. It is a safety net that those steeped in a medium understand.
Conventionality in the arts leads to the exclusion of ideas that fall outside the norm, not by simply refusing to grant admittance to those outside the boundaries of what is accepted as a game, but through the subtle denial of new thought. Saying those limitations no longer apply in this instance is never enough. New limitations, specially crafted, are needed to break away from the old and into a new arena of possibility.

That was the greatest hit I've ever seen in college football because: 1) 'Cocks were totally jobbed on the 1st down call for UM 2) It was simply the most explosive hit and caused a fumble 3) Which Clowney recovered I came out of my recliner and whooped and hollered so loudly my wife yelled from downstairs if I was alright,,,"hell yes" I was pumped. The following play resulting in a TD was simply karma!!!
Yesterday's Outback Bowl featured a head-to-head matchup of two future first-round draft picks: Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Lewan and South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Each had his share of successes on the day. And according to Lewan, each earned the respect of the other:
"It's one of those things where he and I earned respect for each other. I said, 'You're the best defensive end I've ever played against.' He looked right back in my eyes and said, 'You're the best tackle I've ever played against.'"
According to The Charleston Post & Courier, the two players shook hands as Lewan briefly left the field with cramps in the third quarter.
While Taylor won most of the head-to-head matchups on the day, Clowney recorded the highlight play of the day with a game-changing, helmet-crushing, fumble-causing hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith.

An Interview With Pedro Martín
Pedro Martín, the founder and owner of Tropical Tobacco.
Gordon Mott
From the Print Edition:
Orlando Hernandez, Mar/Apr 99
Pedro Martín, the founder and owner of Tropical Tobacco, began working in his father's cigar factory in the Cuban city of Cienfuegos in 1936, when he was 15 years old. But he had been in the family's tobacco fields from the age of seven, pulling weeds from among the plants. His family made the El Veguero brand for sale in the province and processed tobacco for the Havana factories, until they were forced off their land by the Cuban revolution.
Martín left Cuba in 1961 and went to work in Detroit for a U.S.-based cigar company, using his expertise with tobacco to become a blender and taster of cigars. After nearly a decade of working for others, Martín founded his own wholesale cigar tobacco leaf company, and then, in 1978, he started Tropical Tobacco. The company began with the Solo Aromas brand, then introduced such cigars as Particulares, Cacique and Maya. Later on, Tropical launched Don Juan, and then to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America, it began making V Centennial cigars.
Martín admits that his company wasn't prepared for the huge boom in cigars that began in 1992. It wasn't until late 1996 that he was able to begin producing cigars in large enough quantities to meet market demand. Of course, by that time, the market peak had passed, and recently he has cut back some of his expansion plans. But in a recent interview with Gordon Mott, managing editor of Cigar Aficionado, Martín expressed his long-term commitment to the premium cigar business and his optimism about renewed growth in the marketplace in the near future.
Cigar Aficionado: Where did you settle after leaving Cuba, and why did you choose to go there?
Martín: When I left Cuba in 1961 with my family, I went straight to Detroit because I used to have a customer there, a cigar company. It was called DWG Cigar Corp. They were buying tobacco from me in Cuba, where I had been in the tobacco business for years. I went there looking for a job. They hired me as an assistant tobacco buyer and also to help out on the blending panel. I worked there for four years.
CA: What did you do there?
Martín: In the beginning, I worked in the office. My job was translating letters from suppliers all over the world who were trying to find replacements for Cuban tobacco in the cigars they exported to the United States. They wrote in Spanish and I translated the letter into English. The company wrote back in English, and I'd translate the letter into Spanish. The company also put a lot of cigars on my desk with numbers on them, and a comment sheet to tell everything I felt about the cigar that I was smoking. In the beginning I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I knew how to smoke a cigar. I was a smoker. And, I used to blend cigars in Cuba. But I didn't really know what to say about cigars, especially a short-filler cigar.
CA: Were these all short-filler cigars that you were tasting then?
Martín: In the beginning, yes.
CA: You were one of the original blind tasters.
Martín: In the beginning I laughed about it. Because I didn't know what the hell to do. Nobody told me what to say about the cigars. I'd say, 'I like it, I don't like it, too strong, too mild, it's a little bitter.' You know, giving your impression about the cigar you are smoking. But at first, you're not used to doing that. Later on, I also was the tobacco buyer. One of the reasons they hired me was to find a replacement for Cuban tobacco because they had been using a lot of Cuban tobacco before the embargo. They were blending Cuban tobacco with Puerto Rican tobacco. At that time there was a lot of Puerto Rican available. That was the main blend. Later on we started buying tobacco from the Dominican Republic, from Central America, from Brazil, from Columbia, from different places all over the world. That was the place where I learned how to really create a cigar blend. When I started, I didn't know how to do it, because you have to educate your palate. By my last year there, my tasting skills were so good they didn't want the panel to make any recommendations without me. So, I really learned how to blend cigars right here in the United States. Can you imagine that? I knew a lot about tobacco in Cuba, of course. That's the main thing. If you know tobacco, you know how to cure tobacco and how to make a simple blend. But I really learned how to create a blend here.
CA: When and where did you start working in tobacco in Cuba? Where were you born?
Martín: My father, Antonio Martín, and my uncle, Matias Martín, were in the cigar business. That was the family business. I went to school in the morning and worked in the factory in the afternoon. It was 1936; I was 15 years old. But I used to work in the field when I was 7 or 8 years old.
CA: Doing what?
Martín: Cleaning the plants, pulling off the [bottom leaves]. Keeping out the weeds.
CA: Where were your family's fields?
Martín: In Manicaragua. That was in the south of Villa Clara province, about 18 miles from Santa Clara. Our factory was in Cienfuegos, about 25 miles from Manicaragua, where I was born.

What do you get when you combine progressive global warming policies with progressive social medicine policies this story from the UK!
Surgery bans elderly patient over her carbon footprint
An elderly woman has been told that she must find a new doctor. Her current doctor is one mile from her house and she has been going there for 30 years. Why was she told she needed to find a new doctor? Because the government is concerned that her two-mile round trips are making her "carbon footprint" too large.
The letter said: "Our greatest concern is for your health and convenience but also taking into consideration green travelling issues. Re: Carbon footprints and winter weather conditions, we feel it would be advisable for patients to register at surgeries nearer to where they live We would be very grateful if you could make the necessary arrangements to re-register at another practice."
Check it out. Pass it along... this is what America's future looks like unless we do something about it in November.

L.A.'s best hamburger and fries – The best burger and fries around. I have eaten there many, many times when Julio owned the place and these folks have hit his mustard sauce right on the money. Better bring your appetite cause your gonna get full. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
Good Burger, Terrible Service – My boyfriend and I went to eat here last November for the first time. There were some people eating outside and no one inside... since it was cold, we decided to eat inside. The girl that took our order was not very friendly. I thought maybe she was having a bad day... or hates couples... or hates her job... whatever, you're working so at least be courteous. Regardless, we thought we'd give it a chance. Our burgers were well cooked which is part of the reason I liked mine. I always prefer my meat well done. I ordered a regular cheeseburger and my bf ordered the Julio burger. We also ordered a side of fries... lots of fries in that order. My bf liked his burger and I enjoyed mine except for the fact that the waitress was STARING at us while we were eating! We were like wtf is her problem?? She not only did that, but was constanly using her phone right in front of us... texting... surfing, whatever... no shame whatsoever... shoot, at least go use it in the back or somewhere your customers are not in sight. My bf was really annoyed that she kept staring at us eat. I tried to keep it positive and looked back at her and smiled...she finally turned, but minutes later, she was back at it again... staring our way. Have you never watched anyone eat a burger?? Or did we have our burgers splashed all over our face?? Lol. Anyway, some man came in around the time we were finishing and she went on and on with him which was okay until she started talking about how she loves any team that will bring her the customers' money. Come on! No need to say all that out loud in front of customers! I really don't care to listen to things like that and normally I would zone her out, but she was about 2 feet from us. Also, it was pretty hard to ignore her when it seemed like she was trying to be loud about it on purpose.
So anyway, we were pretty full and satisfied with the burgers when we left the place, but not happy about the service. Maybe it would have been different if there was a different person working that night. Oh yeah, they only have bottled sodas and not even many choices at that.
We went back last month to try the burgers again. We were hoping that it would be a different waitress. My boyfriend stated that if that same girl was there, it would be a deal breaker. We pulled up and scoped it out. Damn... that same girl! Deal breaker. Too bad.
Julio Burger for mustard lovers! – I start salavating like a damn dog whenever I think of The Bucket. Julio's mustard sauce in my burger and with my fries with a tall cold beer. It's like a summer picnic in my mouth!
Where has Julio (and his burger ) gone? – I used to frequent Julios Bucket about 17 years ago. The atmosphere was like no other burger place or restraunt. All of his food was excellent. It was (and still is) by far the best tasting burger I have ever eaten. However, I went approximatley 2 years ago and it obviously has a different owner and cook. It is just an average burger now. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can tell me where Julio has gone or where I can find his food. Where's Julio?
CItysearch Editorial Review – Though it's had different owners over the years, this pint-sized eatery has tended to Angelenos burger cravings since 1935. In all that time, the restaurant's decor--consisting of little more than beer-promotion banners--hasn't changed much. Happily for patrons, neither has its menu: The focus is strictly on sloppy sandwiches and on-tap beer. A house specialty, the Cardiac Burger, is two patties with lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, ham, cheese and mayo; it's impossible to eat it without making a mess. Another special, the Wet Style Bucket, comes topped with "secret-recipe" spicy mustard sauce; a fork is mandatory, as the bun practically disintegrates upon arrival. On the side, fries come traditional or round cut; either way, they're served ample, hot and greasy.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over rated – Ate their last week and cannot understand the excitement.
6 of us went for lunch on a Friday. There were maybe 10 other people at the restaurant but it took 15 minutes before they took our order.
Burger was unevenly cooked (well in some areas and medium rare in others) and the verde salsa was slopped all over and made the bun soggy.
Must say the fries are probably the worst I have ever had -- how can fries get soggy? Onion rings are way overly breaded but still lacked taste.
That being said, of the 6 of us:
3 voted "bad"
1 voted "ok"
2 voted good
Guess that is what makes America, America
Hmmmmm So-so and soggy too – Ok...So i finally tried what some foodie reviewers were describing as LA's best burger. I stopped in for some lunch and luckily they were open. I guess their hours are a bit vague. I ordered the Bucket burger w/chedder and fries. First up let me address the fries. They are described as something between regular fries and a chip. Sounds great but nowhere close. In fact they were soggy, no crisp at all. You do however get a ton of fries, practically an entire white styrophome to go container in fact. I was dissapointed as i was looking forward to some piping hot crispy fries. Perhaps they simply rushed frying them up?? Oh well onto the burger. In short is a typical restaurant burger. Mine was undercooked and slightly raw in the center. Its huge though, large 1/2 pound patties and the toppings were relatively fresh. The burger ordered after me had two slices of cheese on it and mine was adorned with only one. This might have been due to the fact that the fry cook was on a lunch break when i arrived and my order was started by who i assume must have been the owner. I liked the quaint atmoshpere, its a tiny room but it has a nice patio. They also serve beer so i imagine if the food were better, i could see myself drinking a brew outside on a hot day. Bummer. I hoped to like this place because its not far from my work. Truth be told i prefer Rick's burgers to the Bucket. I am not sure if i will go back. Had everything been cooked better and the prices a tad lower it would be on my regular lunch routine. Sadly for $10 and high praise from reviewers i expected more. Happy eating folks.
I love this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – Obviously you people have the wrong idea about a real burger stand. I grew up around the Bucket with Julio cooking. Drank one of my first beers on his patio, and that was a long time ago. Glad to see that the stand is carrying on. I hope Julio is doing well. These burgers are the BEST! If you don't think so, you must be a drive-thru kind of person. I am not! This place is about patience, couple of pitchers of beer and the only true burger of it's kind. The hours may be limited, but you need to adjust your schedule to theirs. Because, they have a life too. Mike, Jim and I would love to hook-up and remember the old days of our youth at this long standing establishment. I'll be their soon, please get my burger ready...and some cold beer.

Best Burgers in LA! – The Bucket simply rocks. I try to go at least once a month. Would go more often but it's kind of out of the way in Eagle Rock.
The big beefy burgers are the star of the menu. Get the Cardiac if you're hungry. It's loaded with tons of bacon, cheese, grilled onions, bacon cooked in a deep fryer (trust me it's good), and 2 huge beef patties. The Cardiac is guaranteed to give anyone a food coma. If you're not in the mood to eat a huge burger, the bucket also serves a mild cardiac with only 1 patty.
Personally, I usually go for the mild cardiac, mushroom burger, or the Julio burger. The Julio burger comes with cabbage and a special sauce that tastes like ketchup, hot sauce, and mustard all mixed together. I usually hate cabbage but it gives this burger a nice crunch and flavor. And every burger should be accompanied by round fries.
This place also has a lot of good beers on tap and in bottles. Nobody I have ever taken to the bucket has disliked it. I highly recommend it. A+++
Eat one burger and be good for the rest of the day! – I've been trying to visit the Bucket for a while. For some reason, daytime beers in the outdoors always seems right on Sundays; but they are closed on Sundays + Mondays. We finally got "in" and tried the burgers and they are so juicey and delicious. The place has new owners and they are a riot! The whole family works there and they seem to be perfecting their restaurant biz; by this I mean the service is a little sketchy, but they make up for it in personality. The interior is tiny and has bar seating. The exterior is covered in "Chistmas" lights and banners. Its great to relax, drink a couple pitchers and watch the Eagle Rock traffic go by while you wait for the perfectly grilled burger. Its also a good idea to split an order of fries ... its a nice sized basket. Keep in mind, this is not "fast" food. It almost has a European air about it; you'll have to be patient at this restaurant. Whilke you wait, enjoy the family and their friends. They are very friendly and laid-back. I wish they were open more. (Also, they take MC + Visa now).

Moderator: Nicole Marie
I want to believe –and so do you– in a complete, transcendent, and immanent set of propositions about right and wrong, findable rules that authoritatively and unambiguously direct us how to live righteously. I also want to believe –and so do you– in no such thing, but rather that we are wholly free, not only to choose for ourselves what we ought to do, but to decide for ourselves, individually and as a species, what we ought to be. What we want, Heaven help us, is simultaneously to be perfectly ruled and perfectly free, that is, at the same time to discover the right and the good and to create it.
Yes, yes, I know your book ends "Speak, God," and that I, therefore, am the very antithesis of Him whose reply you so sincerely sought. But after all, a good part of the book is written, if not to me, at least against me. And Knowledge and Politics, despite the meagreness of mortal or divine response thus far, is a very important book, certainly meriting a little diabolical commentary. So hear me, pending Him. It was, indeed, the fact that you ended your work with prayer that first attracted my attention. I am something of a connoisseur of these attempts by scholarly humans to find and describe some meaning in their personal and species existence, and when nonironic divine address comes out of Langdell Hall these days, attention must be paid. . . .
Well, well, let me not be cruel. I know at least as well as you what total separation from Him can lead to in the way of self-deception and bad lines. I tried to replace God with myself, and you tried, as He appeared unwilling to come again, to put your faith in some laughable Second Coming of Man. No hope. As long as you wanted simultaneously to make something in the world–mankind– into the good and still reserve the right to judge its goodness, you were doomed. You were trapped in what, to save time, I might call a GÃdel problem: how to validate the premises of a system from within itself. "Good," "right" and words like that are evaluations. For evaluations you need an evaluator. Either whatever the evaluator says is good is good, or you must find some superior place to stand to evaluate the evaluator. But there is no such place in the world to stand. From the world, only a man can evaluate a man, and unless some arbitrary standards are slipped into the game, all men, at this, are equal.
Or to put it another way, one more congenial, I think, to both of us, by dispensing with God we did more than just free ourselves of some intellectual anachronism. We also dispensed with the only intellectually respectable answer to the ultimate "Why is it right to do X?" It was not so very long ago that most people (and I, too) could and did answer: "It is right to do X because God says so." That answer was at least intelligible, the only one that did not depend upon mere sublunary assertion, the only one that even if it too involved the transformation of fact into value, was not for that reason insufficient. For assuming that God existed, and had commands, it was He who was evaluating our actions. He was not part of our evaluation system, nor were his evaluations subject, or even amenable, to our evaluations of them.
That does not mean, of course, that God exists, or existing, bothers to evaluate your activities. He may not, literally or figuratively, give a damn. It is just that if He does exist (whether or not He cares), as an intellectual matter your problem of normative grounding would be solved. No more would ethical imperatives consist merely of human beliefs, intuited in privacy, perhaps validated by wide sharing or whatever, but just mortal opinions nonetheless. A belief in God and His will would solve the GÃdel problem and would avoid the necessary defeat visited on any attempt to validate a system from within itself.
There are, Professor Unger, not very many possibilities. In fact, there are, I think, just two. The first is that mankind is a species that doesn't mean anything at all, except to itself. There is no evaluator out there. If the species is or becomes one thing or another, or ceases to exist altogether, nothing else cares–except perhaps some other species which, mostly with joy, might register the ecological impact of man's extinction. You are what you are, and will become what you will become, and the goodness or badness of that being and becoming is for you, and you alone, to define and declare. No state of being is more authentic than any other or, just because it exists, any better. Oh, it's not so awful. If being isn't meaning, and it isn't, meaninglessness isn't nonbeing either. You and the species get to live. It's just that you have to shape your living, and its meaning, all alone.
The second possibility is that God exists, and still cares. My own opinion is that the Hand that holds you suspended over my fiery pit doesn't abhor you, but has forgotten completely that It has anything in It. But God may still care, and, if that is so, you have but one epistemological problem, to learn the will of God. If there is no God, everything is permitted; if there is a God, it's even more terrifying, because then some things are not permitted, and men have got to find out which are which. Since He has the right and power to evaluate you, but no duty to do so, you are bravely right: you must pray.
But while you try to live as best you can until His revelation, perhaps you will accept some practical advice from me. Look around you at your species, throughout time and all over the world, and see what men seem to be like. Okay? Now take this hint from what you have seen: If He exists, Me too.

Lets just wait and see, it was only released a few hours ago. If this is a common problem - well know about it for sure on this forum.

I am modding Grand Theft Auto since 2003 now. This was the year I bought my first and favourite GTA game: Vice City. I liked it so much that I started to port it to the new, improved engine of San Andreas soon after I had finished the base game. This project still exists and you now may know it as GTA United. It was a stepping stone for me. I started writing my first tools for GTA, soon after and worked on a lots of different projects like GTA Berlin. Today I do not have the time to work on so much projects any longer so I try to share my knowledge at the GTA Modding Wiki so that others maybe one day realise the ideas.

Great Western Bank: Making Life Great
Great. And Growing.
Banks grow when they're strong. At Great Western Bank, we have a proud history of prudent, reliable banking practices backed by a solid financial network. And that's helping us - and our customers - grow stronger every day.
What makes us safe and strong:
1. Our Conservative Approach
Many of the issues facing the financial services industry today are tied to subprime lending practices, which Great Western Bank has not been exposed to or participated in. Great Western Bank continues to focus on traditional safe and sound banking practices, such as gathering deposits, making loans and investing in the communities we serve. We are proud of our adherence to consistent, well-articulated lending fundamentals that allow us to meet the needs of our customers locally, while protecting the bank's balance sheet and earnings potential.
2. Guaranteed Protection
Deposits at Great Western Bank that share the same ownership are insured by the FDIC for up to $250,000 per customer. Deposits that a customer maintains in different ownership categories may be separately insured up to the insurance limit. By carefully structuring account ownership, a customer can have more than $250,000 in FDIC protection, and in some cases up to $3,000,000 or more. Speak with a banker for available options.
3. A solid foundation.
Great Western Bank is further strengthened by its relationship with parent company National Australia Bank (NAB). NAB is a AA-/Aa2 (S&P and Moody's, respectively) financial services institution and was ranked as the 18th safest bank in the world according to Global Finance Magazine, September 2012 (see reverse side.) In addition, NAB has over 10 million customers and is currently celebrating 150 years of global success.
4. Long-term Financial Strength
Our history of producing strong earnings results, along with our capital strength, establishes Great Western Bank's operating staying power well into the future. As of September 30, 2012, Great Western Bank had total assets of $9.0 billion according to US GAAP accounting standards.
5. Stability and Deep Resources
We are a strong financial institution with nearly a century of sound and prudent banking practices. We continue to operate well in excess of the regulatory capital thresholds to be considered a "Well Capitalized" financial institution.
Great Western Bank is as strong as the communities we serve and continues to be a leading community bank. Still have questions?
Contact us or stop by your nearest Great Western Bank location to talk with your banker today.

There's a new participant in the road building business today – in bold new colors. And you'll see what it's all about at CONEXPO 2008 in March.
In 2007 Volvo Construction Equipment announced the development of a new product class of pipelaying machines targeting, primarily, contractors in the on-shore oil and gas industry. Believed to be the most significant equipment innovation in this industry segment in nearly 80 years, the first prototype of the Volvo PL4611 and the Volvo PL4608 are now in the field with production availability to begin in the 2nd quarter of 2008.
Asheville, NC - "At Volvo, the way we look at all our G900 Series Graders is that each one is already a very capable base machine 'right out of the box'," says Brian Lowe, Product and Marketing Manager for Volvo Motor Graders.
With the first two models only recently introduced – ECR145CL and ECR235CL – CONEXPO 2008 will see the first public exposure of the latest extension to Volvo's "short swing" model range, the ECR305CL.
Volvo Construction Equipment has developed two new simulators that allow operators to practice and learn realistic wheel loader and excavator tasks in a safe and efficient environment.
Complementing its growing line of compact excavators, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has introduced two new compact excavators designed for tight, congested, or busy jobsites. The Volvo EC35C is now available, and the ECR48C is planned for early 2008 to the North America construction industry.
Volvo Construction Equipment's L220F Hybrid wheel loader will offer significant fuel and cost saving benefits as well as performance and environmental gains when deliveries begin late next year.
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has begun delivering the new E-Series articulated haulers featuring more power and more capacity. It will begin delivery of the new E-Series Articulated Hauler with Full Suspension (FS) in the second quarter of 2008. This is the world's first hauler to offer a suspension system with automatic levelling and stability control on all wheels.
The launch of the new L180F HL features a new lift arm design that offers increased lift height and maneuverability
Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has won a Special Award for Innovation of Significant Merit for its new PL range of pipelayers.

You will see an additional shipping charge added to your order of either $10, $20 or $25.
The fee assessed is based upon the size of the product. Oversize items are excluded from shipping promotions.
I loved this costume online so I was so glad to see that it was just as cute in person. I purchased an XL, I am 5'4 170, I would say I'm more bottom heavy. I'm a small C cup, size 10-12 in jeans and this costume fit nicely. (The jacket is made in a stretchy material) Some things I was disappointed about was that one of the stitches on the back bow was broken, the buttons on this front of the jacket where lose and the hat was poorly glued. I am pretty artsy so I can fix these things on my own but for the price of this costume you would thing that the customer shouldn't have to. Either way I love, it looks and feels great. FYI if you want the skirt to be puffed out you do need a petticoat.
I really wish the store carried this costume in order to be able to try it on before buying. I saw it online and loved how fun and colorful it is. I ordered the M/L and the XL to give me options (a very expensive option at that). I tried on the XL first, the jacket was snug but fit and I could not button the attached shirt due to the size of my chest (I'm a 36C, so they aren't huge but not tiny). And if you have broad shoulders forget if, it won't fit comfortably. I usually wear a M/L in costumes. I know they make a plus size version, but I don't think it will fit me right since I'm not plus size! I feel like you have to be on the petite side to fit this costume, even the XL!
I hope this review helps. I wish there was one for me to read before I bought this. Will definitely be returning it.
On a side note, if you can fit into this costume, it's super cute and well made. It's very colorful. And the skirt is not super short.
The trim on the top of the shirt is not yellow, it's neon green and the costume does not come with the colorful petticoat, FYI.

What's Hot/ What's Not
Whether you admit it or not, dating is a game; even a sport to some. Some love it, some hate it, while some just go through the motions to keep up with the social norm. Like any other game, it's hard to succeed at it if you don't take the time to learn the rules and understand the game. Still clueless? Read on to see if you know what's hot and what's not in the dating game:

Summary of Winesburg, Ohio Summary of Winesburg, Ohio Reviews for Winesburg, Ohio An Excerpt from Winesburg, Ohio
George Willard is a young reporter on the Winesburg Eagle to whom, one by one, the inhabitants of Winesburg, Ohio, confide their hopes, their dreams, and their fears. This town of friendly but solitary people comes to life as Anderson's special talent exposes the emotional undercurrents that bind its people together. In this timeless cycle of short stories, he lays bare the life of a small town in the American Midwest.'The only storyteller of his generation who left his mark on the style and vision of the generation that followed . . . Hemingway, Faulkner, Wolfe, Steinbeck, Caldwell, Saroyan, Henry Miller. . . each of these owes an unmistakable debt to Anderson.' - Malcolm Cowley
'Like Dubliners, Winesburg can be read naturalistically, as an account of individuals trapped by social confinement and paralysis, narrow human experience, and the puritanical burdens and guilts of American small-town life . . . Its characters are repositories of the untold, trapped in voyeuristic pain; but direct utterance cannot reveal the truth, the truths being too many' - Malcolm Bradbury in The Modern American Novel

Wireless Skype Without The Fuss
By Mendelson Tiu | Monday | 11/02/2008
While VoIP is widely being used for free (or affordable) calls to anyone in the world, users usually have to be sitting in front of their computer to have direct access to this service. Linksys aims to remove the 'computer' in the VoIP equation by introducing the CIT400, a dual mode portable telephony kit that comes built-in with the Skype program.
The kit comes with the handset, rechargeable batteries, a charging base, a base station, two power adaptors, a telephone line cord, an Ethernet cable, a quick installation guide, and a user's guide CD. Users have to charge the handset (for 16 hours) and connect the RJ-11 telephone line cord, Ethernet cable, and power adaptor to its base station. Users can also add up to four additional handsets to the base unit, and can be 'paged' by pressing the page button.
The handset has an LCD screen (128 x 128 pixels) for easy menu browsing, has five hotkeys (menu, contact, intercom, mute, and loud) on its keypad, and even comes with a 2.5mm jack for hooking up an external headset. The Linksys handset also comes with a built-in speaker at the back for its speakerphone function.
The main hook for this product is the fact that it can make Skype calls without being hooked up to a PC or notebook. But it also makes traditional calls. The Linksys CIT400 supports SkypeIn/Out, Skype to Skype calls, landline calls, as well as call waiting and Skype's optional voicemail service. Users can view their contacts, call history, Skype status, add new contacts, and adjust the phone settings by pressing the menu key (upper left button). Unfortunately, uses cannot store landline contacts on the phone, forcing them to store data onto their Skype accounts.
Another feature that we liked about the CIT400 is that its handset uses two NiMH AAA batteries instead of a proprietary battery pack. With this, users can easily swap out the old batteries for a fresh pair when its talk and standby time diminishes.
Besides some minor Skype issues (call drops, lag, and chops), the Linksys CIT400 is a solid phone that can help you get in touch with loved ones here in Australia or with friends who live on the other side of the globe, all for an affordable price. If you do not like the idea of turning your PC on just to access Skype and want a wireless phone that can do it all, then this kit is worth a look.

We only take 24 hours to review your case and once approved for future settlement funding, we can have an advance in your hands the very same day. Our future settlement funding team has reviewed thousands of cases in virtually every state and we use our own funds for every advance to ensure confidentiality.
Applying for our program is quick, easy and free. Just fill out our short online application, applying for as much as you need to get by until your case is resolved.

NOTE: The term "loan" or "loans," where used to describe lawsuit funding is not an accurate legal or financial definition of the transaction. IT IS NOT A LOAN. The transaction is a non-recourse purchase of a portion of the proceeds of a potential future case award or settlement. A loan is a transaction that always requires repayment. Our lawsuit funding only requires repayment if the plaintiff receives a favorable cash settlement award. If the plaintiff loses their case, they do not repay anything.

About the Portfolio
During an Adult and Professional Studies program, all students must create a portfolio that summarizes the learning acquired from academic, personal, and professional experiences. Students receive materials on developing the portfolio before classes begin. Program representatives and assessment counselors assist students in completing this portion of the program.
The portfolio serves several purposes:
- Provides a means by which students may petition for life-learning credit applicable to their degree.
- Assesses extracollegiate learning.
- Determines the progress of the student's career and personal development.
- Provides a vehicle to explore growth patterns and formulate future academic and career plans using this knowledge.
The portfolio consists of five sections:
- Section 1: Autobiography
- Section 2: Transcripts and A.C.E./military documents
- Section 3: Résumé
- Section 4: Professional/technical experience and continuing education
- Section 5: Experiential learning essays
Since it is an integral part of the coursework, all students must complete the portfolio. Students must write at least two experiential-learning essays. This is mandatory regardless of the number of transcript credits accumulated prior to the program. Essays are used to determine the significance of the learning experiences. Documentation is required to verify the experiences described in the essays.
Letter grades are not assigned to prior learning credit earned through the portfolio. They appear on the APU transcript as "CR" for credit received. Students may earn a maximum of 30 units through portfolio assessment. Credit awards may differ among individuals.
Concurrent Project
All Adult and Professional Studies programs deliver practical, relevant skills. Each student participates in a major project throughout the program which applies theory and knowledge to real-world situations.
Students in the B.S. in Organizational Leadership program design, conduct, and report on an applied research project that will have some impact on an organization. During the course of completing the project, students learn problem-solving techniques, data analysis, and presentation skills.
The primary instructor and a full-time faculty member evaluate projects. This thoughtful assessment provides the student with helpful feedback and ensures consistent high quality.

prince, son of Eliadah. Abandoning the service of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, on the occasion of his being defeated by David, he became the "captain over a band" of marauders, and took Damascus, and became king of Syria (1 Kings 11:23-25; 2 Sam. 8:3-8). For centuries after this the Syrians were the foes of Israel. He "became an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon."

If your family room is anything like ours, it's probably full of tissue paper and bows and the last remnants of wrapping paper torn from presents that were ever-so carefully piled beneath the tree.
Hopefully everyone is in good cheer on this beautiful, non-white Christmas, day and enjoying time with family and friends.
We want to know though: what is your favorite part of Christmas?
Is it something you got this year, like a new iPhone 5, sweater or pony? Or is your favorite gift something that can't necessarily be wrapped up and placed under a tree?
Is it spending time with your family? Eating cookies? Caroling?
Let us know in the comments.
And have a very merry Christmas.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Adam Goldman
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Dramatic accounts of the Navy SEALs rescuing the captain of an American cargo ship made headlines around the world in 2009. The military said SEAL snipers killed a trio of pirates in a tense standoff. Three shots, three kills. It was the lethal, coordinated precision that has made SEALs famous and feared.
In this Oct. 2, 2013, photo, Capt. Richard Phillips, arrives for the screening of "Captain Phillips" at the Newseum in Washington.
The Associated Press
The Maersk Alabama cargo ship lifeboat is seen on display at the National Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Fla., recently. The Maersk Alabama vessel was seized by Somali pirates off the coast of Somalia on April 12, 2009. The pirates captured Captain Richard Phillips and they fled together on the lifeboat.
The Associated Press
It was an unbelievable story, with a new retelling that hits the big screen Friday with Tom Hanks playing Capt. Richard Phillips. But the official version that unfolded in the Indian Ocean wasn't as tidy as Hollywood's, or the versions in Phillips' own book or in contemporaneous news reports. In fact, many more than three shots were fired, $30,000 went missing and the integrity of the SEALs was questioned.
The unvarnished story begins on April 8, 2009. Four armed Somali pirates scurried up the side of a large cargo ship, Maersk Alabama, and took the crew and Phillips hostage. In a failed attempt to get the pirates to leave, Phillips gave them $30,000 from the ship safe. The pirates eventually abandoned the Maersk, jumping into a lifeboat and taking the cash and Phillips at gunpoint.
The USS Bainbridge, a destroyer that had responded to the hijacking, gave chase as the pirates headed toward the Somali coast. Days later, a team of SEALs parachuted into the Indian Ocean and boarded the Bainbridge. During the crisis, the Navy persuaded the pirates to let the Bainbridge tow the lifeboat and then tricked the fourth pirate into coming aboard the Bainbridge.
As the Bainbridge reeled in the lifeboat for a better shot, the SEALs took up positions on the back of the warship and trained their sights on the three pirates.
On April 12, the SEALs acted. After a gun unexpectedly went off inside the lifeboat, the SEAL snipers opened fire. Seconds later, a SEAL, possibly two of them, descended the tow rope and onto the lifeboat. He quickly shot the pirates — one of whom was still alive. Former SEAL Matt Bissonnette recounted the episode in his memoir "No Easy Day." Bissonnette was deployed aboard the adjacent USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, when the rescue took place.
"Entering the life raft, they quickly and methodically re-engaged each pirate, making sure there was no more threat," Bissonnette recalls. "They found Phillips tied up in the corner unhurt."
In an interview, Phillips said he didn't know if the SEALs fired inside the lifeboat. But after it appeared the shooting had stopped, he said, one of the pirates closest to him was "gasping" and in a "death rattle." The young pirate had two serious chest wounds, he said. He didn't see the other two pirates at the other end of the lifeboat.
Attorney Philip L. Weinstein, who represented the surviving pirate later prosecuted in federal court, said his legal team had an expert examine photographs the government provided of the dead Somalis. The expert estimated about 19 rounds had been fired into the bodies, Weinstein said.
"There were clearly not three shots fired," Weinstein said. "They were riddled with bullets."
Under the Geneva Conventions, an enemy combatant who has been injured so severely that he no longer can fight is supposed to be protected and medically treated even as he is taken into custody. Scott L. Silliman, a professor at Duke University Law School and an expert on wartime legal doctrine, said he believes the SEALs did nothing wrong. He said the SEALs had to make the assumption that the Somalis were armed and a continuing threat. In other words, they were still combatants.
"I think it is pretty clear under the military's rules of engagement that if the SEAL believed he still faced a threat against him he was authorized to use lethal force," he said. "I think it was an appropriate use of force under these circumstances."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
All those pet cat profiles add up: Facebook has reported that roughly 76 million of the 1.06 billion user accounts on its social network are bogus in some way or other.
The company identifies three types of accounts that don't represent actual users: duplicate accounts, misclassified accounts and undesirable accounts. Together, they added up to just over 7 percent of its worldwide monthly active users last year.
Facebook disclosed the figures in its annual report filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission on Friday.
Duplicate accounts, or those maintained by people in addition to their principal account, represent 53 million accounts, or 5 percent of the total, Facebook said.
Misclassified accounts, including those created for non-human entities such as pets or organizations, which instead should have Facebook Pages, accounted for almost 14 million accounts, or 1.3 percent of the total.
And undesirable accounts, such as those created by spammers, rounded out the tally with 9.5 million accounts, or 0.9 percent of users.
Facebook said it continually tries to improve its ability to identify these duplicate or false accounts. It also noted that there's a higher percentage of such accounts in developing countries such as Indonesia and Turkey, compared to developed markets like the U.S. and Australia.
Using a fake name is against Facebook's policies and it encourages users to report friends who use false names or set up fake accounts.
"We have a dedicated User Operations team that reviews these reports and takes action as necessary," along with technical systems in place to flag and block potential fake accounts based on name and anomalous site activity, a company spokeswoman said.
The latest figures aren't very different from those Facebook reported midway through last year. There were slightly fewer duplicate accounts for the quarter ended June 30. But there were almost twice as many misclassified accounts, at 22 million, and also more undesirable accounts, at 14 million.
Facebook said the numbers it reports are based on a limited sample of accounts, and that it exercises judgment in its counting, "such as identifying names that appear to be fake or other behavior that appears inauthentic to the reviewers."
Still, Facebook does not specify in the filing how it judges the authenticity of one "meow" over another.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
