I want to meet someone that is special to me but you need to be free to go out and do things from hikes to broadway shows
To You I am a romantic and a poet. Friends say I am generous and I get along with everybody. I like to cook and go out to resturants, and events around town. I like my job, I like my life and want to share it with someone. That would be someone to share time with, reading the paper, listening to music, helping her with chores and errands, walks, holding hands; someone that offers what friends can't. I want to fall in love, have someone to comb her hair, give her foot massages, flowers, cook for her, text her at work to say she looks beautiful even if I haven't seen her in a couple days, but I am not expecting to find that in a meet and greet chat room. That doesn't mean my love is not out there, yours too. I am not needy or looking for someone to save me or take care of me. My profile is honest,I weigh about 185 pounds, and current too; especially that picture of me graduating from College in 1986....You see I'm wearing that same identical smile right now as I type this and think of you. I just need you to be real when we talk. If we don't have communication and honesty then we wont go beyond the meet and greet. Tell me honestly what you think and feel and want. Communication is about listening to what the other person is saying not about being heard. In a chat room, honesty is about letting the other person build a connection by seeing who we are in our words. As Robert Frost put it; "Like babes who play at hide and seek to God afar, so all who hide too well away must speak to tell us where they are." Where are you lovely lady that you are? It also takes reaching out. If you haven't heard from me I hope I will hear from you.

Volume Calculator
Our volume calculator can calculate the volume for many basic shapes such as: cone, cube, cylinder, ellipsoid, irregular prism, pyramid, rectangular prism, and a sphere. Remembering the volume formulas for all of these shapes can be extremely difficult. Let our calculator do the complex formulas for you to ensure an accurate reading.
Volume is generally thought of as the three dimensional space an object holds or occupies, as oppose to area which is a two dimensional value. An easy way to think about volume is to visualize a measuring cup. When you measure out a cup of water for your favorite recipe, the volume of the water is one cup. If you are trying to figure the volume of another shape simply think of volume as the amount of water, or other substance, that will fit into the container. When thinking about the volume of solid figures, think about how much water the shape would displace when completely submerged.
Formulas for most common rectangular shapes are as simple as multiplying the length times the width times the height. Since all sides on a cube are the same, you can simply multiply a side to the third power or X3, where X is the length of a side. When dealing with shapes that involve a curved side the use of pi (π) is needed to multiply the sides in each particular formula. Some of the more complex shapes involve the use of calculus to calculate the volume.
To use our volume calculator simply select the shape for the object you are using and enter the required measurements. You can also select the unit type you are using to simplify things for you. If you are using the calculator for math homework, it would greatly benefit you to understand how the formulas work and make sure you understand them. Then you can use our calculator to make sure you are calculating them correctly.

Legion Blu-ray Review
...as in "legions of moviegoers walked out of the theater."
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, April 27, 2010
This is an extermination.
An angel holding a knife and an H&K submachine gun? OK. Unusual to say the least, but OK. That's the face of Legion, the all-impotant poster image that does indeed sum this one up rather well. A mixture of the heavenly and heavy assault weapons, Legion tackles the Post-Apocalyptic genre by tossing God and angels with a bit of Maximum Overdrive, The Stand, and The Terminator in a blender, spitting out some nasty concoction that's reminiscent of Arnold's breakfast of champions in another religiously-oriented end-of-the-world Thriller/Action picture, End of Days. Sure to offend Christians and make everyone else just laugh at the absurdity, Legion does little right; it has its moments to be sure, and Director Scott Stewart shows some promise, but the premise and script are just so bad that not even a hybrid Director of Hitchcock, Spielberg, and Tarantino could have saved this mess that ultimately feels like "God meets Skynet."
At a remote diner in the middle of a Western U.S. desert, a group of unsuspecting people will become humanity's last stand against the most powerful force in the universe: God. It is a time of darkness, where the fate of the world would be influenced by a cook (Charles S. Dutton, Rudy), a father (Dennis Quaid, Vantage Point) and his son (Lucas Black, Sling Blade), a pregnant waitress (Adrianne Palicki), a stranded family (Jon Tenney, Kate Walsh, and Willa Holland), a lost motorist (Tyrese Gibson, Transformers), and the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany, The Young Victoria). God has had enough of mankind's wayward ways, and as he did with the great flood millennia before, he's decided to once again wipe out the human race. Michael has chosen not to follow God's orders -- which include killing the pregnant waitress Charlie and her unborn baby that's destined to grow into mankind's last hope -- and has joined the band of what is to become human resistance fighters against God's army of angels who inhabit the bodies of human beings. It's spiritual warfare taken to a whole new level.
Legion actually works here and there in short spurts; atmospheric in one sequence, chilling in another, but it's mostly just, well, boring. Even when it's not necessarily outright dull -- those few times where guns are going off, stuff is blowing up, and angels are beating on one another with mechanized clubs -- it never gets much better than "goofily generic." Bad dialogue -- and stretched out far too long in some cases at that -- slows the movie to a crawl, and the cast to a person seems to be doing little more than going through the motions and maybe having a bit of fun as they wave their guns around. Whether Dennis Quaid's over-the-top-where's-my-paycheck antics, Paul Bettany's lifeless effort, or any of the other parts that are played sans the emotion, awe, fear, and sense of grandeur some event like this would really engender, Legion's poor script is never once made better by the performers that act it out, despite a roster with several appealing names. Legion's efforts to add some depth and substance to the movie is noble but ultimately futile; the extended dialogue scenes and shots at character development only seem to slow the movie down, but at least it tries. Still, this is a case where more action and atmosphere and less talk might have worked in the movie's favor, but then again, Legion even gets some of its scares and action scenes wrong.
Indeed, some parts of Legion might have actually proved somewhat effective if they weren't so lame, poorly executed, and at times downright (unintentionally) funny. Whether a demon in the guise of an ice cream truck driver or a grandma that likes her steak bloody and buzzing with flies or her flesh straight off a man's neck, some of what goes on in Legion seems like it would be better suited to a genre parody rather than a would-be serious post-apocalyptic Action movie. There's also the obligatory "introduce all the characters in rapid succession" segment that was done well in Identity but is here little more than the first of several slow stretches throughout the movie, and the worst part is that there's very little surprise as to who is to live, who is to die, who will prove important to the story, and who is destined to become angelic-demon fodder as soon as they're introduced. Still, when Legion is on top of its game, it proves at the very least a competent and watchable film. Director Scott Stewart manages to squeeze some tension out of those several scenes that aren't quite as goofy as the rest and gives a bit of heft to some of the more frighteningly plausible end-of-times scenarios, but the jumbled story and hackneyed characters just don't do much in support.
Finally, Legion's take on God and His wanton destruction of human life will prove downright insulting to Christians and laughably far-fetched even for nonbelievers or those of other faiths. The picture tries to justify this second "God-wrought apocalypse" by citing the flood (of Noah's Ark fame), but it ultimately paints God as the de facto "bad guy" of the movie and ignores most everything else in the Bible; sure, God goes unseen, but His powers, angels, and minions -- the latter of whom are, apparently, humans possessed by angles who become demonic zombies turned against their will and working for God to kill an unborn baby and its mother -- are front-and-center, while Michael, the "hero" of the film, is supposedly an Angel that now has more peace and love in his heart than does God. Whatever, it's a terrible premise that seems to go out of its way to upset anyone of faith that sees it, but the real kicker comes in a scene that seems to go completely against the entire presupposition of the story. With the gang holed up in the diner, a van carrying a father and child arrives; the father frantically tries to quickly pump gas into the vehicle, but it's a trick. When the father is killed, a character heroically tries to rescue the small boy who, it turns out, is one of these angel-demon-zombie things. In essence, "God" -- who has lost all faith in man because of his evil ways -- plays on a man's honest and well-intentioned humanity so "He" may kill this individual and, by extension, more easily kill the mother and her baby. It makes no sense; the human character obviously had enough good within him to save a random child, but God uses the character's goodwill and humanity against him, even when, supposedly, there's none of that left in the world.
Legion Blu-ray, Video Quality
Legion swoops onto Blu-ray with a nearly flawless 1080p, 2.40:1-framed transfer. Aside from a hint of banding in a couple of places, Sony's high quality transfer leaves no room for complaint. Legion is a dark movie, though there are several very bright exterior shots -- particularly during the film's first act -- that deliver striking detail all around; though these scenes take on a somewhat dusty, tan-colored hue, there's absolutely no shortage of impeccable detailing whether on the gravel-and-dirt parking lot outside the diner or the many dusty, rusty, and well-worn objects and façades scattered about the location. Close-ups of faces reveal an incredibly lifelike texturing as well. Indeed, Legion rarely exhibits a soft shot; this is a crisp, sharp, and clear image that offers fantastic depth and retains excellent detailing even in longer shots and on distant objects. Darker scenes generally exhibit faultless blacks, often appearing absorbing and true but without devouring any details around the screen. Flesh tones are accurate throughout and are usually only influenced by surrounding light sources, or as the case may sometimes be, the lack thereof. Legion retains a moderately heavy layer of grain throughout that completes what is an always solid, sometimes breathtaking, film-like transfer that's another winner from Sony.
Legion Blu-ray, Audio Quality
For as good as Legion's 1080p transfer is, its DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack proves its equal. Loud and immersive but natural and enthralling, Legion's high definition soundtrack positively submerses the listener into the world of heavenly warfare-on-Earth. Several effects are almost clear and precise to a fault, for instance a loud barking dog in an early scene that's disturbingly close to the real thing. Likewise, rain envelops the listener in one instance, and plenty of action scenes later in the movie deliver a deluge of sonic goodness in the form of gunfire, explosions, and the like that seem to tear the soundstage to pieces. The track also creates a seamless sense of space through finely-tuned atmospherics; the desert location comes alive with buzzing insects or the subtle hiss of an electrical current that brings the environment to life, and one scene featuring the constant piercing of a "stand by" television tone that proves just as chilling as anything in the movie. Various musical numbers, particularly a hard rock piece later in the picture, enjoy pinpoint clarity and exceptional power. Also featuring the expectedly clear and precise dialogue reproduction, Legion makes for a captivating and mostly seamless high definition listening experience.
Legion Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Legion fails to bring with it a heavenly assortment of extra content, though what is included is of a relatively high quality. The highlight of this package is Brining Angels to Earth: Picture-in-Picture, a running video commentary/behind-the-scenes feature that contains Director/Co-Writer Scott Stewart and a host of additional cast and crew speaking on the construction of the film, the traits of the characters, the themes of the story, the picture's place within its genre, the special effects, the shooting locations, filmmaking techniques, and much more. The interview footage of the cast and crew is intercut with effects sequence shots, hand-drawn storyboards, and other assorted goodies. It's a solid, competent piece that's fairly all-encompassing and proves superior to a more traditional one- or two-man audio-only commentary. Fans will find enough of value in here to give the movie a watch with this feature in tow. Creating the Apocalypse (1080p, 23:43) is a somewhat generic but effective making-of piece that sometimes plays as a bit superfluous after the picture-in-picture extra, but there's some good information here on the creation of various effects sequences, with emphasis on the ice cream man, the baby, the crazed grannie, and several additional stunts. The piece also looks at the importance of hand-drawn storyboarding and computer-aided previsualization to an effects-heavy picture. Humanity's Last Line of Defense (1080p, 11:32) is a pat-on-the-back piece examines the quality of the ensemble cast. Next is From Pixels to Picture (1080p, 10:57), a more in-depth look at Legion's special effects. Also included is BD-Live functionality; Sony's MovieIQ connectivity; and 1080p trailers for Chloe, Wild Things: Foursome, The Road, 2012, The Da Vinci Code, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Disc one also features a PSP digital copy of Legion; it was unavailable for download at time of publication and will be re-visisted at a later date. Disc two features an iTunes digital copy of the film that was available for transfer to a second-generation iPod Touch. The presentation is strong for what it is, audibly satisfying with a clear and surprisingly punchy presentation across the board, while the video sports fine clarity and detailing with minimal blocking, at least compared to other iPod-compatible digital copies.
Legion Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
This may very well be a first for a major motion picture: Legion is at times halfway intense, invigorating, and fun, but it's also completely devoid of significance and proves downright goofy at the same time, and that's not to even mention the ridiculous "God as the bad guy" angle. The movie can't even get that right, as if God would need angels masquerading as demon-zombies to do His work for him (no fire and brimstone to get the job done in three seconds?), making an already passably lame movie just plain stupid. Legion earns a couple of halfhearted points for some decent direction and atmospherics and a few spurts of entertaining action, but it gets little else right. Sony's Blu-ray release of Legion, however, lives up to the studio's typically high quality technical output. The picture and sound qualities rate as exemplary, and while the supplements are few, the picture-in-picture track proves a worthwhile experience. Fans can buy with confidence, but Legion comes recommended strictly as a rental, if that; the movie is borderline terrible and there are other Blu-ray discs that deliver similarly impressive technical qualities while also offering a superior movie.

shingles vaccine
Have any of you people had the vaccine and did you have any bad reactions to it?
I didn't get it because I was told by the pharmacist that was going to inject me it only works in 50% of the people who are injected, it's very expensive and I have a lot of side effects with meds.
I don't do preventative treatments because of the aluminum in the shots.
There is no thimerosal or aluminum in the shingles vaccine.
Some would argue that reducing your chances of contracting by half or 50%, is better than not reducing your chances at all.
Could you have a reaction? Maybe, a very few do, my own sister developed a 2-day headache, rash (fine not chicken pox or shingles-like, red, all over body) about a week after hers that she suspects but doesn't know for sure was tied to the shot. Not convenient but certainly not the crisis a full blown case of shingles would be.
You may be right but aluminum is in most shots because it enhances the meds. I don't take the chance with meds that prevent something I may never have. I have reactions from almost every thing I take. I had 2 flu shots before I read that they have aluminum, in them and just having 2 shots will increase the chances of AZ. I had rather die and than have AZ. We all have choices and those are mine.
I've had shingles and I was in agony for 6-8 weeks. The pain was unbearable!! Having shingles doesn't guarantee you won't have a recurrence, although the second episode will probably be less severe. It's been a year since I had it, and my doc says I should get the vaccine. Most of my friends have gotten the vaccination, with zero side effects, and none of them had an outbreak. So I will definitely get the vaccine. Having had the shingles, and having endured the excruciating pain, a few temporary side effects certainly seems worth it.
My research said you can only get shingles once, anything else is just a recurrence of the original outbreak. So the shot may not do you any good. Check with your doctor or the pharmacists that will give you the shot about having it only once. I can not have a typhoid shot without severe side effects, because I had the fever.
Just in case you are on statins

Not convenient but certainly not the crisis a full blown case of shingles would be."
A 2-day headache, rash all over the body? No thanks.
I'm agree with EmmaR and D0ug. Why risk contracting an illness from a shot when you might never get it otherwise?
There are other things that bother me about this vaccine. Here is what the insert says (Merck):
5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred with ZOSTAVAX. Adequate treatment provisions, including epinephrine injection (1:1,000), should be available for immediate use should an anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reaction occur.
Transmission of vaccine virus may occur between vaccinees and susceptible contacts.
5.3 Concurrent Illness
Deferral should be considered in acute illness (for example, in the presence of fever) or in patients with active untreated tuberculosis.
5.4 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness
Vaccination with ZOSTAVAX does not result in protection of all vaccine recipients.
The duration of protection beyond 4 years after vaccination with ZOSTAVAX is unknown. The need for revaccination has not been defined."
Hardly worth risking my otherwise good health for.
A link that might be useful:
How do you know there was no reaction? There has been vaccine used where the persons become sterile but no reaction when they got the vaccine. There is many documented cases where there was a delayed reaction sometimes years. There was cases of Aids that showed up after years but the infection was traced back to vaccines.
The minute I turn 60 I'm getting the vaccine. I've seen people suffer horribly with shingles and any negative effect from the vaccine is minor compared with what one can experience with shingles.
Also, I had severe chicken pox as a child. DH's mother didn't inform him of whether he had CP or not - so another reason I need to get vaccinated.
A true but funny story: hubby could not remember if he had had chickenpox as a child, so was given tests that came back he had NOT had chickenpox. So he was given the chickenpox vaccine. Later he got a small rash his Dr. diagnosed as shingles!! NOW he gets the shingles shot as needed!
The shingles vaccine is a one-time injection. :-)
It's estimated 1 in 3 people will get shingles sometime in their life; the risk increases with age. Shingles causes a painful, blistering rash that lasts 2-4 weeks. Some develop severe nerve pain that lasts for months to years (called postherpetic neuralgia). http://www.cdc.gov/features/shingles/

The velcro comes from a pack of straps ($8 for 8) made by Tesa. Each strap is long enough to go almost twice around the SB-600 flash head.
To make it truly speedy I'd need to glue the mat to the velcro. At the moment it can be fiddly to tighten up the velcro and keep the strips in place at the same time.
See also a post at DIY Photography Lighting.
UPDATE: I now use a different method for making the speedstraps. The end result is that they're not so fiddly to get on.

Wow! Your invention atracted the attention of more than 1000 viewers!!! : ) Congrats! : )
About your question: it's in Winterthur. : )
This is just great.
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called DIYPhotography, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
where did you buy the velcro?
I bought the set in Jumbo but I think Coop Bau+Hobby have it as well. Tesa also do a 5 metre bundle.
thank you. i never thinked about jumbo... i should use all resources.
great =) this has to be a howto.

So who worked in the garden on this holiday?
I've been home for 3 days nursing my post-dental surgery husband. Trying to prepare for him all the soft foods he can and will eat. Now I am not in the kitchen often as he is the cook and a good one at that. It is not easy as he is very hungry and cannot eat what he wants the most - meat.
Anyway, today I got up at 6am and decided I needed a day at the garden. So off I went to deadhead, plant peppers, rake, water and tidy up the tomatoes and pull the weeds. All the roses are suffering from our May gray with powdery mildew but still growing up tall for the next bloom. Then I had to come home to laundry and shopping for most soft type food. Now I rest. One thing nice - today we heard and saw fighter jets circle 3 times over our house. Very cool!
I did. Also, there was a crew cutting down some trees in my neighbors yard so I contacted them and they cut down two in mine. Trees gone= More open space= More sunshine = MORE SPACE TO PLANT ROSES. The trees hadd to go the previous owners overplanted the front yard, and probably pay any attentiuon what they were planting- couldn't get grass to grow and the trees were blocking sunlight from the others.
I did, all afternoon....A Memorial Day without rain, how'd that happen.
Yesterday we went to our nephews 20th birthday party at BILs lake house and felt like we ate all day long, so just hot dogs tonight - and I didn't grill them, DH did.
I puttered, weeded, spread compost over two beds including the roses, now I'm out of compost and I'm going to have to buy more. Found three seedlings poking up in the seed pot of iris chrysographes (violet-black) - that made me happy!
Our forecast is sounding pretty darned good after a wet cool Spring - I'll be setting my alarm early this week so I can get outside and enjoy it.
Hope everyone had a nice long weekend :)
Sunday we were hosting a BBQ for 15, so Saturday was fix-up- the-yard day. A lot of weeds met their death as I worked to edge the beds with bricks. Edging looks great and keeps the lawn out and the mulch in, but it is nasty work. I also sprayed for midge with Bayer Soil and Lawn Insect Killer (?). Then trimming and lawn mowing. I went from 9:00 a.m. until it got dark. I could barely walk on Sunday morning.
This work takes so much longer this time of year. Buds are opening on many roses and other plants...therefore many gazing breaks are worked into the schedule.
Hmph. I wish! It POURED all day yesterday (sourly)--of course!, so we dragged the BBQ up onto the deck under shelther and ate inside.
In honor of my wanting to garden all weekend, though, I did move four new peat-potted herbs out from under the deck and into the rain so they'd get some water, lol.
Yup, gardened all weekend except for Sun. morning when it rained. Our main work day was Monday. I took the weedeater to all the raised beds, mowed and finished adding mulch to the remaining beds. Then DH and DS and I cut low hanging branches from the fir trees and pulled them down to the burn pile. DS and DH mowed the fields with the big tractor. The roses are at the beginning of their first flush, and my midge eradication seemed to have worked! I am sore, tired and achey, but I love it! I am getting ready for a series of parties the weekend of the 9th, so I want to get the outside work done. I'm putting off the housework!
No gardening at all. Instead we visited a nephew and family up north. Spent 2 days spelunking (sp?). We went to Lava Beds National Monument, one of my favorite fun spots. Equipped with garden gloves, knee pads, a plastic hard hat, and lanterns, we traversed the lava tube caves for an entire day on Sunday. My idea of an adventure. Not too many adventures in my tame world, and at my age, I guess. We crawled through 2 1/2 foot connector areas from one cave to another. I actually put a crack in my hardhat--oh, thank heavens I was wearing one. Very pretty formations, our little 7 year old niece loved being our "tour guide". The yoga I have been taking really made an amazing difference--no back pain from all that stooping and crawling. The 40 year olds couldn't keep up with us. Anyone else been there? I would imagine gardeners, used to a close relationship with dirt, wouldn't be too phased by the cave crawling.
The previous day, we went to Shasta Caverns, which required a boat ride and a shuttle bus to arrive at the entrance. More fun!
Arrived home to lots of crisped roses and daylilies, more of the dreaded deadheading needed. Oh right, I was told by someone not to talk about the negative. Sorry.
I've been caving a few times(in TN), Kathy. Yes, very fun! Well, one trip was too scary and ill-run and I was in fear for my life and don't mind saying so, lol. 200 ft pits and no safety gear... well THAT'S not me in any case.
I did garden on memorial Day. Got my neighbor to haul out the chainsaw and removed some things. That's refreshing. I wish we'd get rain, though... quite a deought here.
I worked Monday but nearlly killed myself replacing some boards in a raised bed in the heat over the weekend. The boards were easy it was moving the stacks of slate that make natural benches around my plot. Not recommended with disc problems!!!!!! Oweeeeee
the spelunking sound cool, but as Labrea said, not recommended with disc problems. I really didn't do much - caught a blues concert and watched the heat and drought fry my garden. My dianthus has bitten the dust and I am happy I planted rosemary nearby so it will cover the cremains... at least, it SHOULD cover them!

The Widow's Corner
Six Women Dine at Scottsdale Restaurant
Terry Ratner, RN, MFA | Apr 16, 2012, 6 a.m.
This headline would hardly raise eyebrows or make the news. These six women meeting on a Friday evening at an upscale Scottsdale café should have been filmed for a documentary or at least portrayed on a reality show. These women are real people who are often misunderstood by others who haven't experienced the aftermath of widowhood.
The dinner was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. I don't usually partake in these types of events. I'd rather hide from them, as one would dodge any pain that hurts like hell and brings back memories of what was and what might have been. Though the daily discomfort of grief isn't completely visible in one's psyche, it's always there somewhere — in a photo, in a memory, on a piece of paper, in the feel of a pair of shorts or in the lyrics of a song.
These thoughts are the aftermath of an insightful dinner with women drawn together by a common bond — a tragic ending to their marriage. Of the six, two of us lost our husbands to esophageal cancer, one to lung cancer, another to a surgical mishap, one to an aneurysm, and one lives with the haunting memory of finding her husband's body after he had committed suicide.
We take turns sharing stories about the men we loved. Stories about the cruelness of others, like the friend that said, "Your husband must have been so unhappy in his marriage that he ended it by shooting himself."
We talk about our children having to lead their lives and not stay in a cesspool of grief gasping for air alongside their mothers. We discuss how most of them were beginning their lives, having babies and looking forward to the future.
One of the women turned to another and said, "I heard you were dating."
"Yes, I've been dating men for a couple of months," she replied. "It's nice to go to dinner or the theater. My husband would want me to go out and have fun," she said, as if defending herself.
"I could never date," two of the women chimed in as if they were singing a duet. Another woman said, "I think my husband would be offended if I saw other men. He would think I didn't care about him any longer."
"What did it feel like when you went on your first date?" another woman asked.
"What about the first kiss?" another chimed in. "What was that like?"
The dating woman smiled and said, "It was awkward at first. Holding hands felt odd and was difficult for me. But the first time I kissed another man it was magical, like when I was a teenager. As time went on, I became comfortable with men that understood my grief – the patient ones, the ones who weren't bitter about their own divorce or jealous of a dead man."
"I suppose," she continued slowly, pausing for a moment. She looked across the table at five pairs of eyes awaiting her response. She needed to phrase her answer with a great deal of thought. "I am not the same person I was when I was married. Like all of you, we are now struggling to comprehend a life absent of the partnership that had sustained and defined us for years. Dating allows me to find out about my new self, who I am now and what I need in the future."
The six women held their utensils in their hands, frozen in thought. They looked pensive, as though they were thinking about men, sex, intimacy and their lost loves. They finished the meal by sharing their anguish of loss, their nightmares of "death duty" and the solace of their friendships with each other.
As they stood outside saying their "goodbyes" they paired up for hugs, as women tend to do, but they also allowed their tears to escape as they blotted the damp skin around their eyes with their fingertips. They weren't embarrassed to cry in front of one another; they had done it many times before.

The Sports Game Guy: Sports GOTY 2006 and 2007?
What was our Sports editor's game of the year?
I hardly read year-end lists anymore. They're idiotic and boring. Especially for games. In fact, the only great one this year -- and sure, maybe I'm biased -- is 1up's. Believe.
So, I've been wracking my brain over coming up with an interesting year end list, so much so that my column's two weeks late. I'm sure it's been difficult. Instead of blabbing about different cutesy categories, I'm just going to announce my sports game of the year, which is pretty much gospel.
The Sports Game Guy Sports Game of the Year Candidates:
Before I tell, I want to first nominate some non-candidates (which isn't going to make me very popular with some developers). These games fit into the overrated and undergood category.
The Non-Candidates:
All fine games, but not nearly as good as people have convinced themselves.
Anyway, onto the winner:
Why? It's the best sports game of the year is why. Inarguable logic. NHL 07 was the most innovative, Winning Eleven 9 was my favorite, Project 8 is the most fun, and NCAA Football is superb (and I hate college football).
Now that's out of the way, I want to announce the The Sports Game Guy Sports Game of the Year Award for 2007, obviously well in advance. The winner is:
I've been playing it all week and it's the best looking game I've ever seen (the only thing close is Def Jam Icon ). Mike Young , the game's art director, led a team to do things never before seen. The gameplay designer is a genius, and the Gamebreakers will seriously unglue any expectation you might have. Pre-order it, and sing its praises.
Now onto the rest of what's relevant.
David Beckham is readying to make an LA splash, finally making the MLS relevant (which could've happened if D.C. United would've used Freddy Adu properly). This is great news for the US's image of soccer, but it's disappointing that not only is the MLS not in the next-gen Pro Evolution Soccer Winning Eleven 2007 -- which is nearly ready to hit store shelves -- but the game doesn't even feature the US players with the correct names. For a stateside release that lack of licensing seems way off. I pinged Konami about it, and haven't heard back yet. When I do, I'll let you know.
Speaking of, I've been having daily next-gen kick arounds with the next Winning Eleven, and while I won't disclose my score until the game hits on 2/6/07, I will say that playing with different commentary language is better than Rosetta Stone. I'm now soccer fluent in French, German, Spanish and Italian. Where's the Portuguese, though? When I play footie, I want to continue being well Brasiliant.
Still speaking of soccer, I saw EA's UEFA Champions League 2006-2007yesterday and was pretty enamored. The card trading system seems like a fun time, the AI seems cleaned up -- so the midfield isn't a cake walk, the player collisions aren't goofy anymore, and the game (especially the menus) are dazzling.
Before I split, I want to quickly say that NCAA March Madness 07, is an active, high-paced alternative to College Hoops 2K7. If you want a complete game, go with 2K7, but if you want to fist pump, jump out of your seat and penis-headedly point a finger in your opponent's face -- go with the Madness. The game's crowd is so insane, you'll totally feel it. I hate to say it, but I even favor EA's crowd over the beloved Chant Creator, in 2K's game.

Not sure about NBA 2K7Posted: Jan 23, 2007 12:00AM PST by papi_halo
As I'm not a basketball fan, but in my opinion, NHL 07 is the best sports game I played this year. The graphics are great and the stick control is the best thing to happen to a sports game since...well official players and teams were licensed to use in games. The goalie animations are great and I'm pretty sure NHL 08 will be one of the best games of 2007 as long as they advance and fix a few of the issues, including online. Even though I don't like basketball, I'm always up for trying a new sports game, so I'll check it out.

We would like to merge two of our servers together and in order to do that we would need to install SVN on the "new" server and then move over all of our repositories that we have set up on our "old" server.
Is this an easy operation to do? Possibly using the "Relocate" option that TortoiseSVN provides? What is the best way to do it?
Would this be a good time to re-organize how the repo is set up as well?

George Ade
The Chaperon
The very first duty of a chaperon
Is to leave the young folks quite alone;
Permitting them to sit up late
In twos and twos and tete-a-tete —
Whatever that may mean.
When a giddy old girl is on the shelf
And can't have any more fun herself,
It gives her a certain kind of thrill
To know that others are in it still.
A good professional chaperon
No breach of etiquette will condone,
And yet if she is fly she'll know
To hang, around would be de trap —
Whatever that may mean.
Although I'm old and quite passé
I was a lulu in my day;
Each girl has a right to a private squeeze
But she must not sit on a gentleman's knees.
I love to chaperon a bunch
Of beautiful buds, and I've a hunch
The reason they all send for me —
It's because I'm gay as I used to be,
'Way back in the summer of eighty-three —
Sing hey for the chaperon!

Evans Cherry
I think my Evans Cherry is doomed. For the last 3 years the aphids attacked it like crazy. Now this year it Finally grew some decent leaves and looking at it this morning I see the deer ate every last one of them. Have two others from the romance? series and they get touched by nothing. So one more year and out it goes. After three years I have had hardly one cherry from this **)**&& plant!!
Aphids usually are on very vigorous grows,..this can happen after a good freeze back or too fertile. This last 3 years we had good moisture and growing rate was allot, which means more die back. They do best on higher ground and let grass grow around it at least for several years until you get a good size trunk system. I would give it another chance,..I would give you a tree for free now but best planting time is spring, I could get you one then, pick up in the city or come scion wood exchange at the Devonian Garden.
I never had Aphids problem on the Evans, you can blast them off with the water hose, the deer problem can be fixed with a loop of farm wire fence.
I had bad aphid infestations on some of my Romance Series (U of Sask) cherries last year. It was their first year and I fertilized them when planting, which meant vigorous soft growth that the aphids loved. This year I skipped the fertilizer and no aphids. Not sure if that relates to your situation or not, but thought I'd put it out there.
I had planted 11 evan trees 7 years ago, i now have 4 left. They bloom nice but still only manage to get 6 or 7 cherries off all the trees together. There is severe die back every winter, and oh yes not to forget the black aphid attack on them every year. What few cherries they have produced are sweet and not a bad size, but here in central alberta I dont think they are hardy enough.
They normally turn into bushes if you let them be for several years, that has been with mine for about 10 years. Then I pruned out some dead wood, if left alone it can look like more then one trunk, usually around 3 or so coming off from the main, very low to the ground,..if my memory is correct?
Out in the country unprotected can be challenging, several have died on me too, they're around 15 years old, best place for them is up on the hill, higher the better, there are about 5 or so trees in the lower part and never had any fruits.
Poor soil is good, I have sandy clay, protect them against deer until they're large. About my first 8 years of growing them I never thought I would have a decant harvest, then they smartened up with some good harvest.
I've had an Evans Cherry for about eight years as well. This past year it gave me 60lbs of cherries.
Never had aphids, no deer. It is situated in clay, near the back of the house facing north. We have a low spot there so always has water. Doing great.
I have a five year old Evans cherry. It has grown very well, but never produced ripe fruit. The last two years, it set lots of fruit, but when the cherries were still green, nearly all of them dropped off. This happened in June both years.
I thought that the tree might need better nutrients, so I dug up all the grass around it last year, topped it with fresh soil, and mulched it. However, that didn't stop the cherry drop this year again.
The tree is in a sheltered location in my back yard in town. It gets a lot of sun, but not full sun. The soil is heavy clay.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Not sure but allot of mine dropped too in the early stage when fruits were very little. I think it happened due to cool nights when in flower,..poor fruit set or light frost kill, not many cherries this year, I've heard, some have the same thing in the city!
I wouldn't worry too much, location is fine, mine never fruited much in the first 8 or 10 years, they don't need much nutrient, clay is fine.
Welcome to the forum!
In the city, I planted an Evans in spring, 2010. In 2011 it produced enough fruit for one pie. In 2012 a nasty hailstorm destroyed most of the fruit but I got maybe a half pound of cherries. This year production is similar to 2012, yet the tree is bigger and the cherries are far more spread out on the branches. I blame the poor harvest this year on the early hard freeze in October 2012 -- my tree was in full-leaf and kept most of those leaves until spring 2013. I'm betting that early, long winter was also very hard on the flower buds.
My Evans is loaded with fruit, as is true most years. Hope to pick this week. I get black aphids, but between spraying with water and just rubbing them off by hand, I can control them. My tree only stands about 7' tall, so it's a relatively easy task. I love this variety.
I'm not sure if I have an Evans Cherry. However, the trees are generally loaded with sour red fruit. Suckering is a problem and I have a surplus of bushes. A couple of bushes are single trunk, four foot high and together provide about 4 litres of cherries.
If anyone wants one of these, come and get it.

Cook for two, or a really hungry one.
Quit patching together a haphazard, jangling backcountry kitchen with cannibalized utensils from unsuspecting friends' apartments. The GSI Bugaboo Backpacker Cookset provides a compact, fully accessorized set of cook gear that accommodates you and a fellow adventurer. Complete with Teflon-coated aluminum two-liter pot and a frying pan, this kit weighs in at barely over 25 ounces; not bad for a setup that includes mugs with sip-it lids, a pot gripper, and a storage sack.

Great Gourmet Cook Set
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a great overall cook set. It offers great flexibility at a reasonable weight. It have used it on a few backpacking trips with a larger group. The pot is a great overall size. The frying pan is also nice for car camping or even one night backpacking trips where weight is not a concern. The bugaboo finish is a great overall durable finish. The non stick coating works great as well. The mugs/bowls are alright. The bowls are really narrow and deep which makes for a little harder cleaning and eating. I would rather use a different more comfortable bowl if I am car camping. The mugs are a great size and the lids snap on tight. I only wish the sipper was in the middle rather than in the corner since it is a little awkward to drink out of. The case does a great job of packing everything together. It is water tight and does hold water and can be used as a sink. Overall this is a great gourmet camp cook set.
William Adjemian
Love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Used this set for both backpacking and just casual camping with friends. Works perfectly in both scenarios. Strainer lid is amazing when cooking pasta. Just pick a spot away from camp and pour out the water without worrying about your noodles going everywhere! The "storage sack" it mentions actually doubles as a washing basin. My favorite feature. Easily holds water that my dog drinks out of until I dump some soap in and clean off the dishes. Cups and mugs are pretty interchangeable if you need cups for 4 people. The difference is that one set has an insulated wrap to protect your hands from burning due to hot liquids. Teflon coating has lasted quite a bit and I have no food sticking complaints. Though I usually have bacon grease or something to help out when I'm cooking something that might be problematic. I would definitely recommend this set to someone not looking for a whole kitchen. Nice, simple, and light weight.
jessica mcferran
It's a great cookset, has all the essentials. Found it to be a great size when cooking for 2 people, could probably cook for more. It's really lightweight and packs into itself which is great on saving space. Happy with the purchase.

Cross-posted from JohnFeffer.com.
In March 1990, just after the first and only democratic elections in East Germany, I visited the House of Democracy in East Berlin. In this building on Friedrichstrasse, at a prime location near Unter den Linden and the luxurious Grand Hotel, were located all of the major civic initiatives that had ushered democracy into the country. "Ushered" is the operative word here, for these groups did not play a prominent role in the ensuing drama of the elections. The primary coalition of these groups – Alliance 90 – received less than 3 percent of the vote. The Independent Women's Association (UFV) teamed up with the Green Party and captured only 2 percent, which translated into eight seats in the parliament.
When I talked to Petra Wunderlich of the UFV on that day in March in 1990, she was not happy about the electoral turnout or the fact that the Green Party alliance partner had grabbed all eight parliamentary seats. Under East Germany's Communist-era constitution, women enjoyed the same rights as men. Childcare was widely available, and abortion was not restricted. But the society remained traditionally patriarchal in many respects. It was hard not to see the marginalizing of the UFV in this context.
