Iam looking for the iboobs app but for android or somthing sim. Can any body help?
I don't know if I'm supposed to suggest apps here or not, but there is an app called Setting Profiles on the Market that is fantastic (Amazing.) It will allow you to build conditions to trigger any profile that you would like to set up. I use it to trigger WiFi when I'm at the house, put the phone on vibrate when I'm in a meeting, silence the phone when I'm at church, the list goes on... It is a paid app $2.95 on the market and worth every penny.
Thank you.
Does anyone know of an xm radio app?
Currently Sirius/XM have an iphone app and I believe a Blackberry app is either just out or will be soon. I have got to think a Droid app is forthcoming. Same with ESPN and a few other big time sites...They may have underestimated the Droid's popularity & awesomeness!
I can't wait for the Sirius/XM app for the Droid although I have read reports that channels like Howard Stern will not be available on phone apps!
I lissen to Howard Stern and Bubba every day for free on Droidlive in the market also free

text: WASHINGTON, Monday—Saturday was really a hectic day for me, ending up with a few minutes broadcast right in the middle of dinner, but everyone else went gaily on eating and I was back before the next course was served. Since it was Jimmy's birthday, we all drank his health and sent him a round-robin telegram. We tried very hard at dinner to make the President enter into a real old-fashioned, family argument, but he said the Christmas spirit was upon him and he was not going to argue with anyone! Sunday was divided between church in the morning, where we were reminded that, though it might be Christmas Eve, still the fourth Sunday in Advent was what the Church was celebrating, and we could not expect to sing only Christmas carols. I have to own that the grandchildren and I felt much more like Christmas carols! After lunch, we dressed the family Christmas tree. Anna and John had taken their ride in the morning, but Major Hooker and I managed to have a short ride in the afternoon. Then all the family attended the lighting of the municipal tree at 5:00 o'clock and listened to the President's Christmas message.


text: 10 Roads to the End of the Earth Even in the day of GPS, there are still lost roads. These are the most extreme and isolated passes on the planet. By Phil Berg Email Comments 0 Share Back 5 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Bolivia's "Road of Death" Distinction: The only way from La Paz to the Amazonand the closest road to the hereafter. Bolivia's "Road of Death" has a higher death rate on its 60 miles than any road on the planet. It runs from Bolivia's capital of La Paz down into the northern jungle town of Coroico, where the Bolivian yungas (jungle) begins in the Andes. From Coroico, the road continues northwest toward neighboring Brazil's jungle. Hundreds of people die in accidents on this road each year, yet the speed is only slightly faster than a walking pace. Part of the road has been paved, from the approximately 10,000-foot-high La Paz up to Unduavi, but there are no guardrails. The elevation rises to 14,000 feet above sea level for over 16 miles, and the cliffs on the sides of the road can rise more than half a mile above the bottom. At this altitude, truck drivers chew coca leaves to prevent altitude sickness. From there, the route to Coroico then drops 10,000 feet in just 40 miles. After the paved road ends, the route narrows into one lane, with places every mile or two that are wide enough for two trucks to almost pass without scraping each other. Hundreds of hairpin turns make looking ahead for oncoming traffic impossible, so often it's easier to drive the road at night, when headlights are visible around corners. The road is so treacherous because it was built by prisoners, during a 1932 war with Paraguay, and hand-chiseled into the sides of sheer canyon walls. The most amazing thing about the accidents on this road is that people have actually survived the fall. In a good year only 100 people will die; a bad year costs 300 lives. The total time to cover the 90 miles from La Paz to Coroico is 4 hours on a good day with little rain or rock slides and erosion from waterfalls. But with these pitfalls combined with heavy traffic the trip is more like 6 hours.

Gay Marriage Is an Election Issue
Richard Grenell is paralogistic and ends his piece with a faulty conclusion: "While there are many reasons not to vote to re-elect President Obama, gay marriage is not one of those issues" ("Marriage, Gay Republicans and the Election," op-ed, May 23).
Yes, a responsible voter weighs all of the actions, attributes and policies of candidates before deciding who to vote for. But it is dismissive to believe that the redefinition of marriage to include so-called "gay marriage" is not a major issue in this coming election.
Redefined marriage may have limited discussions in the media, but a national transformation of the definition and meaning of marriage weighs heavily on those who are concerned with the breaking of the reality of one-man/one-woman marriage. What you do not hear is that "every child deserves and wants a married mother and father." Breaking that reality is the liberal steppingstone to opening up the definition of marriage to eventually become any combination of adults.
What Mr. Grenell should have said is that President Obama's lack of support for the Defense of Marriage Act and traditional marriage is another good reason not to vote for him. For many, a loss of family values in the U.S. can be equated to all the other Obama issues discussed, and this holds true even if one is not a church-goer.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating
society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research,
dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the
general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress
in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern-
ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the
National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding
engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem-
bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis-
ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors
engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education
and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. Charles
M. Vest is president of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions
in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The
Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences
by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon
its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education.
Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of
Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology
with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal
government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the
Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in pro-
viding services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering
communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the
Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. Charles M. Vest are chair and
vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Duct Tape Bag
3 strands of plastic lacing (About 2 times as long as you want the bag strap)Colored duct tape of your choice
House Sheild Pictures
HP picture
Clear packing tape
Make a sheet of duct tape as wide as you want your bag, and about two and a half times as high as you want your bag to be (it will be folded over). To make a sheet of duct tape, lay a strip of duct tape sticky side up on your work surface and place a second strip sticky side up so it slightly overlaps the edge of the first strip. Repeat until the sheet is as wide or high as you'd like, then turn the sheet so the sticky-side-up strips run vertically and lay a strip sticky side down over the sheet. Repeat with additional strips of duct tape until the sticky sides are covered. Don't forget to overlap the edges. Trim off edges.Fold to the desired size, with some hanging over for a flap.
Tape the edges, making sure to tape from the inside first.
Braid the 3 strands of plastic lacing together, trim to desired size, and tape well inside the bag.
Tape the pictures onto the bag wherever you want to put them with the clear packing tape.

Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!

Definition of warm front in English:
warm front
Line breaks: warm frontnoun
Meteorology- The boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.More example sentences
- Since neither the warm air nor the cold air are advancing, the stationary front weather map symbols combine both the cold front and the warm front symbols.
- My wife, Darcy, and I reached the Sods as the storm moved east, and if our timing was right, ahead of a southerly warm front that would break winter's spell.
- Southward movements are less dense west of high pressure and after passage of a warm front.

"I am free."
The thought pierced my cold, dark consciousness as I crossed a desolate commuterscape toward an early-morning train.
Before exiting my parked car, I had rifled through sections of the New York Times in case of momentous news out of Syria, Park Slope or Madison Square Garden. Instead, I found something grimly unnerving: an insert, bathed in blue and orange hues, that seemed hideously familiar. Dear God. Toys "R" Us was back.
"Door Busters!" the insert shrieked, with the R in "Door" reversed in dull homage to the illiteracy that, along with cheap crap from China in perpetuity, is one of the twin towers of the Toys "R" Us Inc. brand. My eyes locked on "My Talking LapPup," available in "Violet" or "Scout." Fisher-Price Inc.'s "Bedtime Peppa Pig" beckoned from an adjacent coupon panel. At the bottom of the first page - oh, yes, there were six - was a warning that the "Buy 1 Get 1 40% Off Mix & Match SALE!" had only two days to go. Violent video games, bad movies and various branded detritus from the plastics factory would soon experience a devastating price spike.
Panic had begun to seize me when a beautiful moment, the kind you can own and recall over the course of an entire lifetime, materialized out of the frigid air itself. "I have teenagers," I realized. "Put down the insert. It's over."
My cherished daughter, who once pined for a "Hop Along Pink Pony" - the desperate purchase of which, at the last minute on Dec. 24 after weeks of hopeless searching, had pitched her mother into triumphant, transcendent bliss - simply doesn't care anymore. My son, whose contributions to the plastics industry dwarf anything Deng Xiaoping ever mustered, would like some nice clothes, thank you very much.
Yes, it has been a long walk to freedom. There were difficult moments along the way, times when the garish, prisonlike aisles of storecrap seemed to close in, threatening to crush me physically and spiritually. But I never gave up hope. I always believed in my heart this day would come. I will never walk into Toys "R" Us again. I am free. Unless I have grandchildren.

How virus sleuths and public health officials track the cause of a mysterious illness

And for that, the boys' mother has joined a class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday against Google, accusing the company of deceiving consumers about its in-app purchase system, which critics say makes it too easy for kids to spend money on their Android devices.

A family in Portland, Ore., called 911 after their pet cat scratched their son and "went over the edge," forcing them to take refuge in a bedroom.
In this tech age, how can a plane go missing?
Call 911 from the side of the road, and GPS satellites can tell dispatchers exactly where to send help. Airline passengers have access to detailed maps that show exactly where they are during their journey. Hop onto WiFi, and somehow Google knows whether you're logging on from Lima or London, and will give you detailed suggestions about what to eat.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Everything about this invitation was just beautiful! The pearlized paper added a WOW factor. Wedding Paper Divas fretted about the clarity of the picture I submitted, but they did a first class job! The company was so accommodating & helpful in making my project a reality! Everyone just raved about how beautiful & delicate & perfect!"
"We ordered wedding shower invitations and they turned out beautifully. The paper quality, wording options, ink color choices & the envelopes are excellent quality. I was referred by my sister who has used Wedding Paper Divas before and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The invitations were also delivered in a timely manner & were packaged well so no corners were bent or torn."
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This invitation for my daughter's bridal shower turned out very beautiful and elegant. Very professionally done! And the turnaround from approval of the proof to delivery to my front door was fantastic! I will most definitely use this company for future paper products like this!"
"I changed the color to red to match the wedding color. The color on line was exactly what the color was when I received them. I was very please with how they turned out. They were high quality. I would recommend this website to others. Thanks Paper Divas!"

7 Ways to Increase Your Home's Curb Appeal
These strategies can put more money in a seller's bank account.
If your home is on the market then you might be feeling some despair right now. After all, you're right on the cusp of the busiest real estate buying season. Your home, and your "curb appeal," need to look amazing right now—especially since many buyers are likely doing initial drive-bys before they schedule a showing.
The problem? In many parts of the country, the grass is still dead. The tulips are just barely poking out of the ground, and spring hasn't quite sprung yet. Unless you're utilizing xeriscape landscaping ideas, your home probably isn't looking its best this time of year. So is there anything you can do to improve your home's curb appeal for potential buyers? You bet there is.
[In Pictures: 10 Smart Ways to Improve Your Budget.]
1. Get Out the Power Washer
Your home has taken a beating over the winter. There is likely a layer of dirt and salt scum on the front porch, and the windows could likely use a good washing. Rent or borrow a power washer, and give the exterior of your home a good cleaning. Go over the windows with cleaner and follow this house spring cleaning checklist to make sure everything is spotless.
2. Clean Out Flower Beds
You might not have flowers coming up in your beds yet, but make sure they're presentable. Trim dead ornamental grasses and dead hostas to the ground, and clean out all the leaves and sticks that likely piled up over the winter.
3. Trim Branches
If you haven't already done so, go out to the street and make sure there are no shrubs or low hanging tree branches blocking the view of your home. You want potential buyers to get a clear look at the house when they drive by. If there are any obstructions, trim them back now.
4. Prune Flowering Shrubs
Flowering shrubs should be pruned after they've flowered. Plants like forsythia and rhododendron might be blooming now, or they will be soon. It's important to shape these shrubs for the best visual effect, but hold off until their flowers have died off. This will keep the plant healthy and give you (or the next homeowner) more buds next year.
5. Plant in Containers
It might still be too cold in your part of the country to put annuals in the bed, but you can still add life and color to your yard with container gardening. Buy some colorful pots and plant them full of vibrant flowers. You can place pots on your front porch, going down your front steps, or even stick them in your flowerbeds.
6. Look at Your Gutters
If you have leaves and sticks hanging out of your gutters from past winter storms, drag out the ladder and clean them out. Your home needs to look trim and tidy, and dirty gutters are definitely an eyesore to potential buyers.
[In Pictures: 12 Money Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes]
7. Add Mulch
Mulch always looks a bit sad after winter—it gets spread around and blown about. Adding a thick new layer of mulch can work wonders for your home's curb appeal.
Final Thoughts
It's tempting to let the outside of your home slide until the weather warms up. But many buyers are out right now, doing research and driving around the neighborhood in anticipation of the spring house buying season. Sellers need every edge they can get in this real estate market, so take the time to add curb appeal to your home right now. Remember, you only have one chance to make a great first impression!

No one has EVER said Nolan's trilogy is supposed to be realistic in terms that it could ACTUALLY happen. It's ridiculous when people downplay these movies like it was Christopher Nolan's intention to make a pretentious, overly-realistic film as opposed to that just being how the overall PUBLIC regarded it. It was never meant to be realistic, it was simply supposed to be a Batman story taking place in a realistic SETTING. Two very, extremely different things. Nolan pulls off the latter terrifically, while the former would be impossible. People need to understand this before seeing these, or any, superhero movies.
What'd you say, they were "pretending to be grand, mature statements?" How so? Like you were quick to point out, there are plenty of moments in TDK that require your disbelief to be suspended - like the Joker's timing, plans, "adolescent" themes (don't think that makes sense), but do you honestly think Nolan was unaware of any of this? Very doubtful, it's just that he recognized he was making a BATMAN MOVIE lol. For that mere fact, it's clear Nolan wasn't intending to make this any grand statement, or an overly-pretentious drama film - just a good Batman movie, which he absolutely did.
Anyways, I just thought it was funny that your whole post was a reply to someone saying "Nolan's films had adult IDEAS." to which you disagreed. Even if you don't think the movie's realistic, or you perceive it as an attempt at being "overly serious" just because that's what critics said; disputing the fact that it had "adult ideas" is a pointless endeavor. A dude gets hanged in front of the Mayor's window for crying out loud - that's adult enough, we don't even have to touch on the themes or nature of the film. That scene is enough to solidify the "adult ideas" statement in my opinion haha.
Don't let yourself believe that Watchmen was "not well-liked" for a second. The feedback was over all positive - except from the comic book community (surprise surprise). Comic book fans don't allow themselves to enjoy anything if it's not cut-and-copy from the source material. I am so, so happy I saw the movie before I got back into comics so I didn't have the inevitable negativity toward the changes made swaying my viewing experience. I've since read the book and yes, it's a way better story overall, but the film was a fine superhero movie on its own merits. The performances alone were great and even if the events didn't match up exactly like the comics, the characters (personality-wise) more-or-less did.

Barb, we had the black widows move into our mudroom in our house in Colorado, scary with little kids. We were even more disgusted to see that we brought a couple with us inside our dining room table leg...the leg broke in the move from CO to TX and when we picked up the parts there was 2 widows! The table did sit in our garage for a month before we moved, so I am hoping the widows weren't actually in the house and just moved in when it was storing
I wonder who would win, a widow or a scorpion, hmmmmm not showing dh this thread or he will get ideas!
oh wierd! scorp vs black widow!
Colleen, i watched something about those camel spiders, apparently they aren't as serious as some bugs are but they sure are ugly!!!
Yeah - they aren't as bad as people report, but they get huge and are aggressive.
Reminds me of my husband too! About 2 months ago, he was telling me how strong black widow threads really are. So he tells me that we are going to build a black widow "room." Are you serious??????? I told him I would move out if he ever did that!
Suzie- glad to know that during the "cold" months (like what- 70?) they don't come out to play.
here's some info about scorpions

The standard line about the history of Punk is that it was a reaction to the excesses of modern rock, particularly progressive rock of the time. The reality is undoubtedly more complex, but I suspect there is some truth to that. Rock n roll did seem to be the realm of Golden Gods in the late 60s and 70s, inaccessible to average folk. The contrast between bands like Rush and Black Flag -- both supposedly playing aorocka -- was extreme. For fun, let's take a look at Rush drummer Neil Peart's drum kit:Now,...

Rock City
Coordinates: 34°58′26″N 85°20′55″W / 34.97389°N 85.34861°W
Rock City is a roadside attraction on Lookout Mountain in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, located near Ruby Falls. It is well known for the many barn advertisements throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States that have the slogan "See Rock City" painted on roofs and sides. Clark Byers painted over 900 barn roofs in nineteen states for Rock City from 1935 to 1969.12
Rock City claims that it is possible to see seven states from Lover's Leap, a point in Rock City, but this has not been proven.3
Events and shows
In 2006 Rock City began having daily bird shows for its visitors. The bird shows focus on birds of prey. The shows are included with paid admission to the gardens. Now, however, the birds of prey shows are Thursdays through Sundays, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm, with an additional show at 4:30 pm on Saturdays.
Every fall season Rock City creates a maze using crops of corn in the valley below the gardens. The maze can be seen from the Lovers Leap lookout point. From the gardens you can view imagery and designs that have been cutout within the maze. Below at the site of the maze you can "GET LOST" and try to find your way out by answering trivia questions at certain posts along the maze of corn. There are also hay rides and other seasonal activities at the maze site. The name of this event is "The Enchanted MAIZE".
Each November through December Rock City Celebrates by lighting the park with millions of Christmas lights and displays. This is named "Enchanted Garden of Lights" and features booths of food and gifts, as well as seasonal shows such as a lighted telling of the Nativity of Jesus and carolers from all over the region.
Rock City also provides annual passes, group rates, and hold seasonal and special events all year round.
Historical evidence indicates that Native Americans inhabited Lookout Mountain at some point. In 1823, two missionaries (Daniel S. Butrick and William Chamberlain) went to minister to them. Butrick made a journal entry on August 28, 1823 in which he described "a citadel of rocks" on top of the mountain, and noted the immense size of the boulders. He stated that they were arranged in a way "as to afford streets and lanes".
By the time the American Civil War reached the slopes of Lookout Mountain, more people had discovered what was already being called Rock City. During the Battle of Lookout Mountain, both a Union and a Confederate claimed that seven states could be seen from the summit of the mountain. These are independent and recorded in their own journals.
Hikers and geologists knew Rock City well throughout the late 19th century, but it did not become the attraction it is now until the 20th century. Garnet Carter's idea was to develop a residential neighborhood on top of the mountain. It was to be named Fairyland because of his wife's, Frieda, interest in European folklore. One feature of Fairyland was going to be a golf course, but Garnet decided instead to build a miniature golf course because the original took too long to build. He later franchised his miniature golf concept as Tom Thumb Golf, now recognized as the nation's first mini-golf course.
Fairyland was 700 acres (2.8 km2) and encompassed Rock City. Frieda set out to develop the property into one big rock garden, taking string and marking a trail that wound its way around the giant rock formations, ending up at Lover's Leap. She also planted wildflowers and other plants along her trails and imported German gnome statues and other famous fairytale characters, set up at spots throughout the trail. Garnet realized that Frieda had made an attraction that people would be willing to pay for to see and made Rock City a public attraction in 1932.
Rock City features a long, convoluted rock trail lined with gardens containing hundreds of labelled local trees and plants. The trail also leads through a variety of unique and bizarre rock formations, including the 1,000 short tons (910 t) Balanced Rock and Fat Man's Squeeze. Two other sections, the Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village, are rock caves decorated with blacklight-responsive sculptures.
Lover's Leap
Legend states that an Indian who loved a woman from a rival tribe was thrown from the mountain when he was discovered. Near Lover's Leap is a beautiful view of the High Falls of Lookout Mountain.
High Falls of Lookout Mountain
The High Falls of the Lookout Mountain is a manmade waterfall in the Rock City Gardens. The waterfall is 140 feet (43 m) high and empties into a base which appears as a small pool.

The numbers, the longevity, and the usability say it all. It may have won many of its orders over recent years because Airbus was booked up on the A320, but it had to be at least decent to stay in the contest there. And will it stay in production longer than the A320: yes, of course it will.
An aircraft is the sum of the metal and plastic that go to manufacturing it, plus the design and mangement brains behind it that come up with a cost effective product that hits the spot profitably, and a sales force that understands customers. The 737 was not a special ground breaker in the former, but it was in the latter. For me, the world's first global bus, and a key reason for the success of commercial aviation from the 70s on.
Ebeezeer Scrooge says:
I agree with your choice, and those who prefer more esoteric airliners like the Concord have probably flown on more 737s than on their preffered choice. Ironic really.

Source Organization: Pew Campaign for Fuel Efficiency
07/23/2007 - Today, the Pew Campaign for Fuel Efficiency released new bipartisan polling from more than 30 congressional districts across Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and Michigan, showing overwhelming voter support for the U.S. House to pass fuel efficiency standards at least as strong as those passed by the U.S. Senate in June. The polls, conducted by The Mellman Group (D) and Public Opinion Strategies (R) from July 13-16, found vast support for increased standards in each of the individual congressional districts and states surveyed:

Salivary duct stones are crystallized minerals in the ducts that drain the salivary glands. Salivary duct stones are a type of salivary gland disorder.
Saliva (spit) is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. The chemicals in saliva can crystallize into a stone that can block the salivary ducts.
When saliva cannot exit a blocked duct, it backs up into the gland, causing pain and swelling of the gland.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands:
Salivary stones most often affect the submandibular glands, but they can also affect the parotid glands.
The symptoms are usually most noticeable when eating or drinking.
An examination of the head and neck by the health care provider or dentist shows one or more enlarged, tender salivary glands. The doctor may be able to feel the stone during examination.
X-rays, ultrasound, or CT scan of the face can confirm the diagnosis.
The goal is to remove the stone.
Drink lots of water and use sugar-free lemon drops to increase the saliva, which may remove the stone. Massaging the gland with heat may help.
The doctor or dentist may be able to push the stone out of the duct. In some cases, the stone may need to be surgically cut out or reduced to small fragments using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Salivary duct stones are uncomfortable, but usually not dangerous. The stone is usually removed with only minimal discomfort. Some people may feel more pain.
If the person has repeated stones or infections, the affected salivary gland may need to be surgically removed.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of salivary duct stones.

This Week In Celebrity Sports Analysis: Verne Troyer Called Out The Michigan Wolverines
It's strange, as I was settling in to watch college football this weekend, I found myself wondering: "Hey, you know who are two people that we haven't heard from in a while? Brian McFayden and Verne Troyer."
