"I purchased these gift tags for my son's Baptism to put on the favors. I was so pleased when I received them. It's a nice way to personalize the favors to thank your guests. I had purchased the invitations first that match. The invite and gift tags have a very conservative and elegant look. The quality of the paper and printing is outstanding. You get what you pay for. I have received so many compliments on the invitations already."
"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"
"These gift tages / labels were a perfect idea for all of our back to school labeling. My son put them on his folders, in his books, on his binder. Good quality and really cute design!"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."
"I selected the designer review to customize these gift tags into personal labels for my son's notebooks and folders for school. My request to move the "with love" was met so that I could just have my son's name and his school + year. There's a lot you can do with these labels, so I would definitely suggest the designer review if you had something different in mind but were limited during personalization."

Is diving ruining the game of football?
The world's footballers appear to be increasingly sensitive to gravity's pull. On Saturday, players young (Swansea's Ben Davies) and old (Fulham's John Arne Riise), foreign (United's Nani) and homegrown (Arsenal's Carl Jenkinson) had their leg molecules grazed by an opponent, triggering a physics-defying air dive accompanied by an agonizing mask of pain. On a weekend in which Chelsea's stars racked up as many dives as shots on goal, faking fouls became to Premier League talent what Gangnam Style is to flash mobs.
Few aspects of the modern game grate more than the sight of an elite footballer morphing into a Hollywood stuntman to deceive referees, opponents and fans. The laws of the game refer to it as "simulation," a dark art that is as shameless as it can be lucrative. Three league table points worth millions of pounds can be snared by this thespian, rather than athletic, ability.
"Diving was not as prevalent in the game back in the 1990s when I started playing, but it is different now," said ESPN's Steve McManaman. "The pace of the players has increased, every game now seems 'massive,' and we analyze every kick from a thousand different camera angles."
Peter Walton, a Premier League referee from 2003 to 2012, agrees. "Ten or 15 years ago, players would not fall over after the slightest touch," he said. "It became worse over the course of my career as the game sped up, and the level of physicality permitted in the games decreased, forcing players to find new areas in which to gain advantage." In Walton's mind, the air dive is the rational result. "It thrives because the reward for an act of simulation in the penalty area -- a penalty kick -- is greater than the risk -- a yellow card," he said.
At times, it feels as if the only thing more pervasive than diving in football is arguing about the place of diving within football. After Manchester City's Carlos Tevez and Pablo Zabaleta were denied penalty decisions this weekend, Sergio Aguero alleged that English referees favor domestic talent when making penalty decisions. Sir Alex Ferguson gave that theory short-shrift, suggesting "there are plenty of players diving and, you have to say, particularly foreign players."
Point of fact, there have been 33 yellow cards given for simulation in the past three EPL seasons -- and British players have received 15 of them.
Yet McManaman agrees the hustle was imported into the Premier League. "In my day, there were less foreign players in England," he said. "When they came over and dived or arched their bodies after being touched, we would take them aside and tell them they had to stop it. Once I moved to Spain, it was much worse. It seemed like the merest tap would lead to players flinging themselves to the ground as if a sniper had shot them from the stands."
"It is stupid to say it is only a foreign thing nowadays when every nationality is just as good at it as each other," McManaman said. "Look at Michael Owen at the 2002 World Cup all the way through to Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck this season. English players have done it for a long time. When Glenn Hoddle was England manager, he instructed us to go down if we were touched in the penalty area because he knew that's just what the opposition would do."
"When Glenn Hoddle was England manager, he instructed us to go down if we were touched in the penalty area because he knew that's just what the opposition would do."--Steve McManaman
Walton well remembers his first encounter with an artful diver -- current U.S. men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "Klinsmann signed for Tottenham [in 1994] at a time when the connection between money and results in the Premier League really kicked in," he said. "I was an assistant referee back then, and he used to dive at the merest tap."
But the former referee believes the foreign players' frustration is a product of the physical contact the Premier League permits in contrast to the rest of the world. "If you come from a foreign league where referees punish even the smallest contact, you won't understand how English referees don't penalize those calls," Walton said. "Foreign players need to understand the norms of the league they are in."
The player who has received the most bookings for simulation (two), Luis Suarez, happens to play for Liverpool, the most penalized team (with five yellow cards for simulation over the past two seasons). Suarez has been a polarizing figure at the center of the diving debate. McManaman sees the controversial Uruguayan as "a man who has gone down far too easily for penalties in the past and is now facing up to the consequences because he is being legitimately fouled but not getting the calls. His theatrical reputation is preceding him."
Walton denies referees use a player's past against them. "We judge what is in front of us, not history," he said. "When there is a coming together in the box, you are focused on getting the best possible view of the challenge, looking for contact made, identifying a genuine foul or simulation," he said. "A good referee should be concentrating on the particular play, not the number on the back of the player's jersey."
What, then, does he see when he watches Suarez? "I see a bloody good footballer with a threshold for pain that is lower than a gnat's."
What can be done to eliminate simulation from football? McManaman remains optimistic that players will self-police the game. "Real Madrid and Barcelona have to know that all the flopping around by Sergio Busquets and Pepe has hurt their brands," he said. "Managers may want an extra percentage to win the game, but it does not look good to win like that."
McManaman believes there will be a return to the days when he joined Real Madrid. "Back then, they gave us a bible about the history of the club and its playing culture in which they made it clear they expected us to win or lose gracefully without going down kicking and screaming."
Walton agrees the act can be counterproductive. "I remember Ronaldo's entry into the Premier League with Manchester United. His first instinct was to go over whether he had been touched or not. His own teammates would shout at him to stay on his feet and Gary Neville, as captain, tore into him. He knew Ronaldo was never going to get every call and so he was just turning over possession and putting United on the back foot."
Walton now plies his trade in North America as General Manager of the Professional Referees Organization, and he believes the Premier League will only solve its diving dilemma if it takes a leaf out of the pioneering MLS's book and sets up an independent disciplinary committee to review player simulation and hand out bans and fines retroactively, as in Serie A (and soon, even in the flop-infected NBA. "The newspapers always blame the referee because he does not have a right of reply, but the focus must be shifted back onto the player who has made the decision and the managers who have encouraged him." Sounding every bit the poacher-turned-gamekeeper, Walton reinforces his point by admitting, "I've played football and I've tried to dupe referees, too."

Research Overview
Confocal microscopy allows us to analyse the expression of cell division genes in specific cell types, as in the example of this root tip, where gene expression is visualised with green fluorescent protein.
The group has two major research interests in plant cellular development and molecular biotechnology.
Plant cellular development seeks to understand how processes operating at the level of the cell are integrated with plant development. Plants grow continuously and are responsive to the environment, so cell division and cellular differentiation are closely integrated in growth processes. We focus in particular on understanding how cell division is controlled in plants, how it responds to the environment, and how it is co-ordinated with differentiation to build complex and highly organised structures. We study cell division both during development and in cell cultures applying a range of genetic, cell biological, imaging, transgenic and systems biology approaches in a range of developmental situations.
Molecular biotechnology is the study and application of molecular approaches to practical problems. The lab has a longstanding interest in two areas- the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which plasmids are maintained in yeast, and the applications of bioluminescence to diagnostic systems, in particular a new technology known as BART (Bioluminescent Assay in Real-Time) which can detect nucleic acid amplification as it takes place in portable devices.

Review by: sven, Washington, 10/27/2012
I work on ships and boats and these have been great boots for standing watch and working on deck. These are a great buy for a hard working guy on a budget. 3 years in and still going strong with hard use. Best of all they are very slip resistant for wet and oily surfaces. I have also used the for short hikes with no issues. I highly recommend these great boots.

Review by: Andre, Stamford CT, 3/3/2012
I haven''t received my boots yet but am really excited about them. They are very stylish and look very durable. These are statement boots in the work place particularly with customers and vendors. These boots distinguish me from all the others in my business that throw themselves together each day. And there was great value added to the purchase - no sales tax free 3 day shipping and a sale price of under $94. This is a great deal

Review by: Mark, Nunda N.Y., 6/12/2011
I had never purchased boots I couldn''t try on. I did have a pair previously and used that boot size. They were insulated these were not. First pair were defective Lump in the arch so I sent them back with the A.R.S. provided. The second pair took even less time to show up and they were just right. I have worn them a couple of days and the Cambrelle lining is great for my feet.

This is the second pair we have bought out first once the brads that you wrap the laces bent and broke off. Now he has has these a week and the little holes at the top where the lace goes throughhas already came off. For the price I paid I expected they would hold together better.

I felt this product fits narrow
Ordered a pair of size 14 as there weren''t any half sizes when you get this large of boot. Fit great and love the boot. Ordered a second pair for back up.
Review by: Marc, NJ, 7/22/2010
I love this boot. I work for Verizon as and Installation and Maintenance technician. This is my 4th pair and when I put them on it''s instant comfort. No need to break them in. The first time I bought and wore them I worked 11 hours and didn''t even take them off when I got home until I went to bed. As far as shoeline you are great. I save $40 on the boots compared to the closest local competitor. There wasn''t a charge for shipping and handling I received email updates on when they were being shipped and received them within a few days of ordering. I am very happy with the service and am sure I will use Shoeline again for my next purchase.

Outstanding comfort. Great price. I''m buying a second pair. They are slightly wider than D-Medium. Still great boots and likely cut this way to accommodate thicker socks.

These boots were for my husband and he absolutely LOVES them. Carolina Work Boots have been my husband''s favorite for years. The stores in our area that do carry Carolinas have a very limited selection so this worked wonderfully. My favorite part was the very fast shipping and the fact that a prepaid return label is included Just in case they dont fit quite right. We will DEFINATELY purchase from here again.
Review by: Dennis, AlthaFL, 7/11/2007

Review by: Jim, Jenkintown Pa, 4/2/2007
This is my second pair of Carolina boots. I am hard pressed to find a dealer near me so I went online. I am normally not one for ordering things online due to the size factor. You never know if it will fit right or be tight here and loose there. I got the boots Two 2 days after ordering Thank you shoe line and they fit as well as if I had gone to a store and tried them on. Of all the boots I have worn in the past being in the construction field and a volunterr fireman I must say that Carolinas are some of the best I have worn. The breaking in time is the only slightly uncomfortabe part but that does not last for long.

Join part angel Jonah Stone as he faces his biggest challenge yet!
Many months have passed since part angel siblings Jonah, Eliza, and Jeremiah Stone began their angelic training. As part angels, or quarterlings, the siblings joined other children of nephilim to begin honing their special powers.
In this third installment in the Son of Angels series, Jonah's story comes to resemble a modern-day Job as he's faced with trials that affect his health, strength, relationships, and most-prized possessions. As he and the other quarterlings prepare for mid-term exams, their powers are tested once again in the most fierce battle against Abaddon's forces yet. Will Jonah's faith in Elohim continue to persevere as he fights Abaddon in his hardest battle yet?
Parents today are looking for fiction that makes Christianity and the Bible exciting for their kids. This series is the first Christian answer to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Secret Series, and other middle-grade series packed with action, adventure, and supernatural fights. But the message is solidly based in Scripture, conveying God is always in control.

There's a lot of talk about the balance of 'frosting' to 'cake' out there. The penny dropped when I realised I had a fine choice of clothes for the weekend but nothing to wear to work on a daily basis. Well you can't get more practical than a black pencil skirt!
I self-drafted a pattern for my grey skirt back in August 2012 and just tweaked it to make it longer and more tapered for this one. I also included a vent with mitred corners.
I made the top too. A peasant top using Butterick B4685. I completely forgot to blog it but I have made this top a couple of times before. But here's a link to the gingham one I made before.
More pictures and details for the skirt over at ooobop!

appears to have been written from Corinth not very long after the first, for Silvanus and Timotheus were still with St. Paul. (2 Thessalonians 1:1) In the former letter we saw chiefly the outpouring of strong personal affection, occasioned by the renewal of the apostle's intercourse with the Thessalonians, and the doctrinal and hortatory portions are there subordinate. In the Second Epistle, on the other hand, his leading motive seems to have been the desire of correcting errors in the church of Thessalonica. We notice two points especially which call for his rebuke:-- First, it seems that the anxious expectation of the Lord's advent. Instead of subsiding, had gained ground since the writing of the First Epistle. Second, the apostle had also a personal ground of complaint. His authority was not denied by any, but it was tampered with, and an unauthorized use was made of his name. It will be seen that the teaching of the Second Epistle is corrective of or rather supplemental to that of the first, and therefore presupposes it. This epistle, in the range of subject as well as in style and general character closely resembles the first; and the remarks made on that epistle apply for the most part equally well to this. The structure is somewhat similar the main body of the epistle being divided into two parts in the same way, and each part closing with a prayer. ch. (2 Corinthians 2:16,17; 3:16) The epistle ends with a special direction and benediction. ch. (2 Corinthians 3:17,18) The external evidence in favor of the Second Epistle is somewhat more definite than that which can be brought in favor of the first. The internal character of the epistle too, as in the former case, bears the strongest testimony to its Pauline origin. Its genuineness, in fact, was never questioned until the beginning of the present century.

Consumer's Guide to a Brave New WorldWesley J. SmithEncounter Books, (Hardcover), 219 pp., 2004 Item# B103
Cloning researchers claim to have cloned an embryo that is mostly human, but
also part animal. Biotech companies brag about manufacturing human embryos as "products" for use in medical treatments. Echoing long discredited master-race thinking, James Watson, who won a Nobel Prize for co-discovering the DNA double helix, claims that genetically enhanced people will someday "dominate the world." Events are moving so fast--and biotechnology seems so complicated--that many of us worry that we can't have an informed opinion about these issues that are remaking the human future before our very eyes. But now Wesley J. Smith provides us with a guide to the brave new world that is no longer a figment of our imagination but right around the corner of our lives.
Smith starts with the basic questions. What are stem cells? What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells and which is most promising for medical therapy? What does embryonic stem cell research involve and why is it so controversial? What is its relationship to human cloning?
But in addition to explaining the science of stem cells, this highly readable and carefully researched book reports on the gargantuan "Big Biotech" industry and its supporters in the universities and in the science and bioethics establishments. Smith shows how this lobby works and how the lure of huge riches, mixed with the ideology of "scientism," threatens to impose a "new eugenics" on society that would dismantle ethical norms and call into question the uniqueness and importance of all human life.
A Consumer's Guide to Brave New World presents a clear-eyed vision of two potential futures. In one we will use biotechnology as a powerful tool to treat disease and improve the quality of our lives. But in another, darker scenario, we will be steered onto the anti-human path Aldous Huxley and other prophetic writers first warned against fifty years ago when science fiction had not yet become science fact. |

Real Name: Marshall Mathers
Born in Missouri to a poor single mom, Eminem said in an interview with Newsweek that he never met his father. Constant moving meant that he was often the "new kid" at school but instead of just being ignored or made fun of, the puny white kid was regularly beaten by classmates. One beating left him in a coma for five days. During an interview with Howard Stern, he said that his mother was also a mental case who would frequently file bogus lawsuits and emotionally abuse her children.
When he was 12, his mother moved the family to an all-Black housing project in Detroit, where Eminem says he was "saved" by hip-hop. He mastered his MC skills at open mic competitions. As he grew up, he took a series of dead-end jobs and had a kid out-of-wedlock with a girlfriend. "I couldn't afford to buy my daughter diapers and shit," he said to Newsweek. "My girl had to strip to make money." He later tried to kill himself by OD-ing on pills.
In 1997, he recorded a demo and was discovered by veteran producer Dr. Dre who brought him to L.A. He recorded The Slim Shady CD -- which was quickly snapped up by rock and pop radio stations who wouldn't dream of playing rap by Black or Latino rappers. The "Slim Shady" CD took home a Grammy award for Best Rap Album of 1999.
Lately he's built a reputation for mouthing off about other musicians like Will Smith. Christina Aguilera considered suing him over comments he made about her giving a blowjob to Carson Daly. Even his own mother got in the act and filed a suit against him for slandering her name on his records.
Source: Newsweek.com, MTV.com
Shit Christina Aguilera better switch chairs with me So I could sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst And hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first
Aguilera said on MTV to her friends that he was married to his longtime girlfriend Kim even though he rapped about killing her. Apparently, she then said something along the lines of "Don't let your guy disrespect you" to her audience, which supposedly was the reason for the hostility.
The contemporary post-modern artistic fascination with varying degrees of reality and authenticity can be seen in movies like "Fight Club" and "American Psycho," in which the general frustration of the white male is manifested through an indeterminate mixture of deulsion, fantasy, and violence. At the core of these films is a suggestion that the psychotic machinations of the mind are as real as external reality, and that their influence on one's behavior can be quite profound.
In this context, the varying identities Eminem utilizes seem to be a reflection of his struggle with fragmented, insurgent internal emotions. In the post-modern era, this struggle resonates a great deal with most people (violent high school fantasies, pathologically depraved daymares, etc.)
I'm sick and tired of people attacking Eminem because of his "homophobic" lyrics. I don't even like his rap that much, but other rappers have "homophobic" lyrics too. All the rap greats: Dr. Dre, Ice cube ("I don't know if they're fags or what, search a nigga down and grabbin' his nuts" -Fuck tha police), Notorious BIG ("I stabbed her brother with the icepick, because he wanted me to fuck him from the back but Smalls don't get down like that" - Dead Wrong) just to name a few (but I'm not into rap that much). The only reason that these groups are allowed to attack him is because he is white. It wouldn't be PC to question a black rapper about using the word "fag", he's just expressing himself. Eminem needs to be shocking and cause a fuss to be accepted into the mainstream rap crowd. He limited because cannot say words such as "nigger".Some might say "Of course he can get into the mainstream! What about Kid Rock and Fred Durst??" I can truly say that I don't think Eminem wants to get into that crowd. He may not be normal but he still has certified rapper status.
My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise And at the same time, make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme So what you're seeing is a genius at work Which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first
Recently, historians declared that the 90s never actually happened. This makes Eminem the first successful white rapper in history. Most of us have never heard this strange "rap" music. It is strange and confusing, so we immediately dismiss it as garbage. But it's not garbage.
Rap music, specifically Eminem, has freed us from many conventional lyrical boundaries. Before Eminem, songs had to be about "things". Bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were severely hindered by these "things."
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better.
Tis a shame. If only Paul McCartney knew what music could really be. We are now at a point of time where you can add random lines that are nothing but insults to other celebrities, to perfectly good songs, and it doesn't ruin the song at all. In fact, it makes the song better. Much better. It helps if you don't actually hate these celebrities in the first place. Because then it's not offensive, it's hiliarious.
Hey Jude Don't be afraid Eric Clapton you motherfucka Suck my big cock all night long While I sing this song Bitch
Why didn't Paul McCartney think of this? Paul McCartney is no Eminem.
Paul McCartney was bogged down by the system, just like everybody else. He figured a few pretty melodies would fool us into thinking he was an artist. Nice try, McCartney. We know an artist when we see one. And we see one. And it's Eminem.
Unlike all music prior to his, you can actually pinpoint the exact day that Eminem wrote a song, due to the dozens of ephemeral pop culture references he makes in each and every tune. Now that's genius. It's quite apparent that Eminem doesn't want children of the future to be able to understand any of his music. In fact, he hates the future. He wants his music to be played and understood today. And only today. Children of the future don't fucking deserve his music.
Now, in a recent conversation I had with a respected noder, she began repeatedly comparing Eminem to Elvis. Unsurprisingly enough, this noder didn't come up this idea on her own, Eminem actually compares himself to Elvis on his latest CD.
But Elvis sang:
Love me tender Love me sweet Never let me go You have made my life complete And I love you so Love me tender Love me true All my dreams fulfilled for my darlin' I love you and I always will
What the fuck? Eminem would never touch this wussy shit.
In the harsh ghetto world that Eminem may or may not have grown up in, nobody's life is complete.
That's why you gotta rap.
Get the fuck away from me, don't touch me I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE YOU OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU! How the fuck could you do this to me? How the fuck could you do this to me?
Now that's what I call a love song! A lot of you were probably confused the first time you read those words. He starts off by telling her how much he hates her...and then...out of nowhere...HE TELLS HER HE LOVES HER!!!!
How can this be? I thought he hated her! He loves her?
This is complex shit. Don't expect to understand it the first time through.
Elvis wouldn't be caught dead singing a song like that. And that's why I don't agree with the (un)said noder or Eminem himself. Eminem is no Elvis. Eminem is the new Bob Dylan. Both of them are white, both of them write complex lyrics, both of them hate fags and bitches. But where Dylan failed, Eminem succeeds.
Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand, you know too soon There is no sense in trying.
What the fuck is Dylan trying to say here? I have no idea, you have no idea; it's pretty clear he has no idea. Darkness at noon? Silver spoon? Balloon? Moon? Soon? I think someone is just making good use of the rhyming dictionary he got last Hanukah.
Eminem don't need no rhyming dictionary, because a lot of his rhymes don't rhyme in the first place. He's no slave to the English language. He's above the English language. When he does decide to rhyme, he likes to rhyme a word with itself (If you really think about it every word rhymes with itself.)
You faggots keep eggin me on til I have you at knifepoint, then you beg me to stop Shut up! Give me your hands and feet I said shut up when I am talking to you
Why didn't you think of that? You're no Eminem.
Now, I don't know about you, but whenever I try to introduce people to new music, I always run into the same problem. Me: Hey listen to this music it's so cool (Pops in CD) Friend: Wow this is great music but I'm not sure whether I should continue listening to this or not. How many albums did this artist and/or band sell? Me: Well I'm afraid I don't know offhand. Friend: Well if you don't know how many albums this artist and/or band sold, this music must not be good. I refuse to listen to it anymore.
Well Eminem must've had the same problem as I did, because in his latest CD, he talks about how many albums he's sold in four different songs. He's doing this all for our sake, folks. To help us out. And instead of thanking him, we call him homophobic. What a sick world this is.
Now some of you are probably thinking "Only four songs?" Yes, I agree, he could certainly do a lot better. Hopefully, by his next album he'll raise that number to a more respectable seven or eight. Which will inevitably be followed by his Nuthin but album salez LP.
Anyway, these days, the scene goes a little more like this:
I'mna expose it, I'll take you back to 73 before I ever had a multi-platinum sellin CD I was a baby, maybe, I was just a couple of months My faggot father must have had his panties in a bunch
One thing that sets Eminem apart from the rest of the music makers out there is that Eminem doesn't talk about the make believe world of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Eminem is a realist. When he raps, he raps about world problems. One of the biggest world problems these days is the tendency of fags to grab Eminem's balls.
My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge They'll stab you in the head Whether you're a fag or a lez Or the homosex, hermaph or trans-a-vest Pants or dress? Hate fags? The answer's "yes" Homophobic? Nah, you're just heterophobic Staring at my jeans, watching my genitals bulgin That's my motherfucking balls, you'd better let go of em They belong in my scrotum, you'll never get hold of them.
Here's a graph approximating the number of ball-grab attempts per month throughout Eminem's career.
| 300 | | / | _______/ | / | / 200 | / | / | _____/ | / | ____/ 100 | / | / | ___/ | / |__|___________________________________ 99 00 01 02
As you can see, this number has been steadily rising.
This is unacceptable.
(Understandable peaks in October, due to National Coming Out Day).
But with all these lyrics dealing with gay people, is Eminem himself gay?
"If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in Junior High, all I'm saying is that I'm not gay, y'know?"
Whew! I was pretty scared for a minute there. I sure don't like fags. No no wait, I mean my "inner personality" doesn't like fags.
But there's nothing wrong with that, yeah?
"Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album, and laugh from beginning to end."
I take seven kids from columbine and stand 'em all in line Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine A Mac-11 and this oughtta solve this problem of mine And that's a whole school of bullies shot up all of the time, 'cause I'm Shady, they call me as crazy as this world was Over this whole Y2K thing, and by the way N'Sync, why do they sing?

A proposal to establish a National Park in American Samoa is being introduced to Congress this summer with hearings beginning in late August. Preliminary hearings were held in Samoa in January 1987 (BATS, June 1987). This park will protect a wide variety of unique plants and animals, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. The park also will serve as an invaluable cultural, educational and scientific resource in addition to providing a sanctuary for Samoa's unique flying foxes. Two species of flying foxes would be protected, the Tongan flying fox (Pteropus tonganus) and the Samoan flying fox (P. samoensis). The latter is among the last remaining bats in the world that are active during the day, soaring above the rain forest like eagles.
As a Trust Territory, American Samoa has representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, but not in the Senate; therefore, letters to your Senator are especially important. Letters in support of a National Park in American Samoa should be sent to your Congressman and Senator with a carbon copy to:
Congressman Bruce Vento; Chairman, Subcommittee on National Parks and Recreation; Room 818, House Annex #1; Washington, DC 20515. Senator J. Bennett Johnston; Chairman, Energy Committee; 136 Hart Senate Office Bldg.; Washington, DC 20501.
