Test Your Eco I.Q.
Try your hand at the following questions:1. According to the EPA, commercial buildings in the U.S. emit what percentage of greenhouse gases in this country?a. 5% b. 17% c. 40%2. In the book, Natural Capitalism, the authors report that how many tons of raw materials are used annually to construct buildings worldwide?a. 700 million b. 1.5 billion c. 3 billion3. How many millions of computers are estimated to become obsolete and thus destined for the landfillby the year 2004?a. 100 million b. 225 million c. 315 million4. How many years does a typical hardwood tree need to grow before it can be harvested for use?a. 60 years b. 100 years c. 125 years5. The World Health Organization estimates that what percent of buildings pose significant health hazards from indoor pollution?a. 10% b. 40% c. 60%Whether the answers to these questions came easily to you or not, we hope they underscore a belief that we have advocated for many years: humans are inflicting staggering effects on their natural habitat. Furthermore, we argue that architects and designers hold the key to transforming the world into one that is respectful of and sustaining for the Earth. They are, after all, the ones who most significantly impact the outcome of the built environment.Our annual EnvironDesign® conference, which is highlighted in this issue starting on page 49, is one of the ways we strive to help design professionals in their efforts to halt the degradation. Now in its seventh year, EnvironDesign explores ways to develop a business case for sustainable design and building practices; it provides practitioners with indisputable evidenceoftentimes interpreted in dollars and centsto help persuade their clients to go green. It also provides the information necessary for design professionals to make knowledgeable decisions in their selection of a wide variety of eco-friendly products and services.We hear from many design practitioners who question whether this information is really necessary for the long-term. "Isn't the green building movement just a passing fad?," they ask. Our answer is a resounding, "No!" But don't just take our word for it; consider the following statistics from a recent International Facility Management Association (IFMA) survey: * 95% of facility managers believe that sustainability will become an important issue for the facility management profession.* 69% of respondents are implementing green building concepts.* 58% use or plan to add environmental criteria to vendor and product selection.Our pie-in-the-sky dream is that, someday, there will be no differentiation between green design and high quality design; the foundation of all truly great design will be built on sustainable design components. Until then, we will continue to push these tenets forward. We know we are on the right trackEnvironDesign has demonstrated significant growth in both 2001 and 2002enjoying on average a 65 percent increase in attendance during both of the past two consecutive years. If you've not attended, we hope you will give it serious thought. The environmental train is leaving the station and is quickly heading toward the mainstream; we'd hate for you to be left behind.

"I've got a bad feeling about this"....

No... that needs to be reserved for the Star Trek museum. Where was San Francisco in Star Wars? Nowhere... but the center of the Star Trek Universe is... you got it... Star Fleet Academy in San Francisco.
They were for the bang before they were against it.
That's kind of an ignorant view. Considering the amount of resources in the uninhabited parts of the universe (which is beyond a staggering amount) why would any one enter conflict over a small planet (us).
Any species capable of interstellar travel is going to be able to pull resources out of pure energy. They don't mine, or need our water. They don't care what we do, except maybe they observe us and snicker.
Billions and billions of years ago, even before lord Xenu, there was a scientist who pulled this off.
Blext Telfrawd, an A type Hixoid, did get an infinite number of protons into a finite space. Then the containment field faltered, obliterating the iteration of his universe..
Most historians agree this was tragic for it ended his universe, and created one with Justin Bieber. Sentients who were able to achieve trans-dimensional universital access, send a message to you from the past: It's just too risky to repeat the so called "Bieber Event",
You've been warned.
Two million miles per hour is less than 0.003c, but still quite a clip, even in astronomical terms.
Since they're discussing velocity (vector speed), and not just speed, the headline is correct in saying " -1000 km/s" when the measured value is -1025 km/s, but one can debate whether the abstract is correct in saying "an extraordinary blueshift of -1025 km/s", rather than "an extraordinary blueshift of 1025 km/s", since "blueshift" gives one the sign of the velocity already.
There's definitely more that 1.21 gigawatts of energy involved....
SPOCK! duh!
I haven't heard of Shatner doing anything besides acting alpha male in TV and some Movies. The creator/writer of Trek deserves far far more credit.
Nimoy, has at least done voice overs for many TV shows that were real science shows over the decades. He also helped keep the movies going (not that the movies were inspirational... but they kept things alive before TNG got started up which may not have happened otherwise.)
Scotty also deserves more than Shatner, for getting people to be engineers. He even has a term named after him which any wise engineer uses ("The Scotty Principle.") But perhaps that keeps NASA away from him (plus he is dead.)
Although Nimoy's blessing on the disgraceful reboot... that shouldn't be overlooked; perhaps that cost him the honor? maybe it should?
Yes... this.
As much as I love Shatner, I despise him in comparison to Nimoy and his contributions.
Sadly, the reboot is bad. You can't destroy Vulcan. It's just something you cannot do. There were better ways of rebooting than the destruction of an entire area of canon. But that's just me. Other may disagree.
"Kill me already!"
No colorful metaphors for Spock..
Admittedly, my thoughts started as somewhat liquid, but when fully formed, were solidified.
Not a lot of hard evidence around to make a concrete conclusion. Were there more information it would cement my thoughts. What I see is a conglomerate of issues.
Boy I hope this turns into a winnable case.
That treaty has never been enforced. This lawsuit won't change that- but it might inform the generation coming into power that there is a need to disarming.
Go Marshall Islands!
A high energy electromagnetic field will do just fine. Works on earth... it will work in space.
You just need a fusion reactor. At the moment- we don't have one. Or some other high capacity, small size, energy source not yet envisioned.
NASA, while not saying it, is probably waiting on an energy technology.
Where is element 115 when you need it? Someone call Bob Lazar!!!

End-Stage Renal Disease:
Medicare Payments for All ESRD Services, Including Injectable Drugs, Should Be Bundled

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses highlights from GAO's report entitled "End-Stage Renal Disease: Bundling Medicare's Payment for Drugs with Payment for All ESRD Services Would Promote Efficiency and Clinical Flexibility." The report examines Medicare payments for certain drugs provided to patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition of permanent kidney failure.
Through Medicare's ESRD benefit, patients receive a treatment known as dialysis, which removes excess fluids and toxins from the bloodstream. Patients also receive items and services related to their dialysis treatments, including drugs to treat conditions resulting from the loss of kidney function, such as anemia and low blood calcium. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers the Medicare program, divides ESRD items and services into two groups for payment purposes. In the first group are dialysis and associated routine services--such as nursing, supplies, equipment, and certain laboratory tests. These items and services are paid for under a composite rate--that is, one rate for a defined set of services. Paying under a composite rate is a common form of Medicare payment, also known as bundling. In the second group are primarily injectable drugs and certain laboratory tests that were either not routine or not available in 1983 when Medicare implemented the ESRD composite rate. These items and services are paid for separately on a per-service basis and are referred to as "separately billable." Over time, Medicare's composite rate, which was not automatically adjusted for inflation, covered progressively less of the costs to provide routine dialysis services, while program payments for the separately billable drugs generally exceeded providers' costs to obtain these drugs. As a result, dialysis facilities relied on Medicare's generous payments for separately billable drugs to subsidize the composite rate payments that had remained nearly flat for two decades. In addition, the use of the separately billable drugs by facilities became routine, and program payments for these drugs grew substantially. In 2005, program spending for the separately billable drugs accounted for about $2.9 billion. Medicare's payment for these separately billable drugs is the focus of my remarks today. The remarks are based on the information included in our aforementioned report.

Saudi Arabia waits for its spring and the death of the King will blow up the revolution
Saudi Arabia (Islam Times): "Saad al-Faqih", official spokesman for the Movement for Islamic Reform in Saudi Arabia stressed in his article in the (Guardian) British newspaper that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is in a state of repression and corruption with the accompanying acts of repression. This makes it wait for its Arab spring, stating that the reason behind the delay of the revolution is due to the hesitation of the reformers.

New DNA test helps detect colon cancer early
Results of a clinical trial of Cologuard show unprecedented rates of pre-cancer and cancer detection by a noninvasive test.
The detection rates are similar to those reported for colonoscopy.
Cologuard, is a noninvasive DNA test for the early detection of colorectal precancer and cancer. The Cologuard test is based on a stool sample that is analyzed for DNA signatures of precancer or cancer.
The clinical trial, called the DeeP-C study, included 10,000 patients and was designed to determine how well Cologuard detects precancer and cancer.
The study also compared Cologuard to the fecal immunochemical test for occult blood (FIT). The study was conducted at 90 medical centers throughout the United States and Canada.
Study's author David Ahlquist M.D., a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and co-inventor of the Cologuard test, said Cologuard detection rates of early stage cancer and high-risk precancerous polyps validated in this large study were outstanding and have not been achieved by other noninvasive approaches.
In the study, all patients received Cologuard, FIT and colonoscopy. Colonoscopy was the reference method. Major findings reported in the study include:
Sensitivity of Cologuard for cancer was 92 percent overall, and 94 percent for the earliest and most curable cancer stages (stages I and II).
Sensitivity was 69 percent for precancerous polyps at greatest risk to progress to cancer (i.e., those containing high-grade dysplasia).
The results have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

CHAPTER 2 Assessing Emergency Response Capability Three types of emergency response teams deal with hazmat: the traditional hazmat response from the public safety community, occupational/industrial manufacturing response, and environmental oil and hazardous substance response. This Guide uses a single framework to assess the capability for all response team types, allowing all resources to be considered equally in your planning process. The information provided in this chapter will enable you, as an emergency response planner, to assign a tier to each team. Team Definition/Organization The most commonly used term when referring to emergency responders is "team." A team can mean different things to different jurisdictions, and a common, consistent framework is needed to measure capability. This Guide provides flexibility in how you define your response teams, allowing you to measure response for individual fire stations, entire departments, industry partners, multijurisdictional agreements, and so on. As an example, jurisdictions and providers may choose to share the financial and management burden of establishing, maintaining, and employing complex emergency response capabilities by integrating specific elements resident in multiple jurisdictions or providers into a strike team or task force, which can be task-organized, reinforced, and/or sustained depending upon the particular situation. In other words, you will measure the emergency response capability for the "teams" in your jurisdiction as you see fit. If you choose to use smaller units, such as individual fire stations, you may find that you need to combine the resources of several of these units to form a "team" with the response capability needed to respond to certain types of incidents. Terminology to Represent Emergency Response Capability To avoid confusion with other terms, such as "levels" or "ratings," specific capabilities are defined in Response Capability Tiers beginning with a standard baseline of operations capabilities. NFPA Standard 472 (2008 Edition) defines Operations Level Responders as those "who respond to hazmat incidents for the purpose of implementing or supporting actions to protect nearby persons, the environment, or property from the effects of the release." Operations Level Respon- ders are the core components of an effective response. Beyond the baseline capability, four Response Capability Tiers are defined that advance from Tier 1, the lowest capability, to Tier 4, the highest capability. The combination of technician- level responders determines whether a hazmat response team meets the requirements of a spe- cific tier as defined in the next section of this Guide. 11

Time Warner Cable News Austin receives election returns from the Associated Press and county clerk offices for local races. The organization and links to the returns is at the top of each page.
County returns pages display a combination of local races, if any, and how voters there cast their ballots for state and national races that affect them.
When looking at a state race within a particular county, for example a U.S. House District race, be aware that the returns reflect how that one county voted. In most cases a state race is voted on by multiple counties. So it may appear as though one candidate won, or lost, yet a different candidate is marked as the winner. This is because the winner is selected based on the entire vote. To see these results, click on the Texas link along the top, and then on the race(s) you're following.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were thought to be a team with decent backup options at safety and receiver this preseason, with the seemingly promising Kevin Ogletree and the unheralded solid backup Ahmad Black presenting the team with valuable depth.
So much for that.
Per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Buccaneers have released both players today, during the second day of their bye week.
Bucs have released WR Kevin Ogletree and S Ahmad Black.
— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) October 1, 2013
For Ogletree, his replacement is immediate and direct, as Chris Owusu will take his place on the roster from the practice squad.
WR Chris Owusu will be promoted from the practice squad to replace Ogletree, who has dropped passes. Black had too many coverage busts.
— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) October 1, 2013
For Black, no announcement has been made about a potential replacement. And frankly, he's the one who needs the replacement more, as the Buccaneers are injured at safety (Mark Barron has a hamstring issue), have a suspension risk at safety (Dashon Goldson), and often use three safeties at a time.
The team may also be in the midst of looking for a true backup strong safety if Mark Barron's injury is for a prolonged period of time. Sean Baker and Cody Grimm could be the names on the short list.
And according to Rick Stroud, there's another name to keep in mind to fill Black's vacated roster spot.
Bucs are expected to re-sign WR Tiquan Underwood.

The 'Happy Bug Day' print was made with an extraordinary technique to appear as if it was printed: Andy Warhol drew the drawings and pressed the wet ink onto another paper resulting in uneven lines. After this process, the bugs were hand-colored. The text of the print is most likely written by his mother, since he liked her shaky cursive handwriting.

"What could have been a very basic wedding announcement looked exceptionally nice when it arrived-- better than I expected, actually. The rounded corners added a certain elegance to the very simple design, and the fonts were just right. Must add that the service was terrific-- I received my announcements within a week."
"We were absolutely pleased with the quality of the cards we ordered. We requested a review of the design to make it more personalized, and the promptness of the reviewer in satisfying our needs was impressive. All of our friends who received the cards have told us they like them, and a few have requested info on where/how to get them. We highly recommend this company and their products."
"This card is simple yet elegant. Understated elegance. Would highly recommrnd this card especially for the more sophisticated bride."
"I apsolutely loved my invitations! I also loved the service that wedding paper divas provided. I had to make a few changes and they were also so willing to help and to make the right suggestions to make my invites just right! I will definetely recommend them and use again!"
"The announcements were exactly what I ordered and wanted. I have already recommended you to a friend of mine whose daughter is getting married in May."

Also, a Panic at the Disco song title. How did I not make that connection? I'm dumb. That is probably my favorite non-Fantasy (read: Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter) book. It would be a STELLAR movie. Better than Choke, and I better than Invisible Monsters, which I've heard is also being made into a film. BOO! I want Tender Branson!

I got throw'd out of the club tonight. It was totally worth it =)
south side. so many d-bag v necks. kill me
Happy hour + 40's + wild turkey + tequila + mad dog = recipe for disaster.
It got kind of crazy tonight. People are passed out, I guess we can deal with the damage tomorrow. Jack isn't going to be happy
I need to do laundry. I'm out of socks. I guess it's flip flops for the rest of the weekend.
My morning Starbucks is switching up their A.M crew. I was chatting up the new people while I was enjoying my doppio on the rocks when one of the Batista's asked me if I ever had a John Wayne… it's new to me so I thought I would share.
Take one of the short, hot cups. put in 2 or 3 pumps of your favorite syrup (I went with Carmel), a cold layer of half and half, top with a shot (or two) of espresso. Chug it.
It's pretty delcious. To really appreciate it you need to try it. I, personally, willu bet that this isn't the last time I'll enjoy a John Wayne.
Oh yeah, btw I'm fucking flying. 4 Shots of espresson in rapid succession is just what I needed to kick of this drab Friday morning.

Prescription Drugs
- the science of how they work (receptors and neurons and shit!)
- the over-prescription of prescription drugs (bad!)
- best approach is one that focuses on a mixture of drugs (jumpstart) and therapy (pinpoint issue)
Mutant Powers
- which one would you like to have?
- narrowed down to teleportation and shape-shifting
- Teleportation saves time, allows you to go anywhere
- shape-shifting would be more 'fun' in day to day life (esp at work)
- would I still have to have a job? How would I make money with my mutant powers?
- Wolverine
- Yeah he was one of the best characters, but not the most useful in day to day life
- people often forget that his adamantium claws were not his primary mutation, it was his accelerated 'healing factor'
- Neosporin would probably sell better if it was named 'wolverine juice' (just sayin)

Concerning "Ryan Widmer denied fourth trial", do you really think that he is guilty beyond reasonable doubt? Don't you think that his attorney, not he, may be responsible for failing to represent Widmer properly? There was no indication that their marriage was anything but harmonious. Go figure!

Give Widmer a new trial
09/04/12 at 11:45am by Letters Editor | Comments
Why are the judges and prosecutors afraid to give Ryan Widmer a new trial? I think they are afraid that it will prove that they are wrong, wrong, wrong. This is like the Sam Shepard case in Cleveland years ago – but they finally found the right person. It seems the only thing Widmer failed […]

Now that the report from Douglas Miller proves that Det. Braley lied on his employment application and military background, I am sure there will be a reinvestigation of the Ryan Widmer case. (Report questions Braley's honesty) What I found troubling was Braley's appointment to command the tactical squad based on hearsay, and his promotion to […]
Hawkins deserves new trial
05/09/11 at 3:07pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I was extremely moved after reading the Enquirer story about Shawn Hawkins who is scheduled to be executed in Ohio on June 14. The account of his conviction in 1989 points to tremendous flaws, with the chief witness (age 16) changing his story "at least" 5 times. This alone should warrant Hawkins a new trial. […]
Widmer juror "knew he was guilty" by looking at him
03/03/11 at 3:48pm by Letters Editor | Comments
Regarding the article about the Widmer jury ("Ryan Widmer's attorneys request new trial"). Not mentioned: On the day of the verdict juror #3 talked to WLW radio. When asked why they found him guilty, he said Widmer was a "punk" and that they all just knew he was guilty. Apparently they didn't need any evidence, […]
Widmer guilt wasn't proven
02/20/11 at 11:27pm by Letters Editor | Comments
We don't know if Widmer is guilty or not. When serving on a jury in Hamilton County we were instructed about "reasonable doubt", "presumed innocence" and that the burden of proof lies with the prosecutor, not the defense. We feel strongly that there was plenty of reasonable doubt about how Sarah died, about the rush […]
Widmer jury failed
02/19/11 at 10:45pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I thought jury decisions were supposed to be based on the facts presented during the trial and not based on hypotheticals. I take exception to the juror's rational in this case. In the article he states numerous times the jury came to their own conclusion on what might have happened: "We think something happened and […]
Widmer jury failed
02/16/11 at 4:27pm by Letters Editor | Comments
That Ryan Widmer was convicted of murder by a jury because of the 911 call and "by using common sense and life experiences" is completely ridiculous. Common sense tells us to take meticulous notes during the trial and pay more attention to the facts, not how this kid "sounded" on the phone! Also, what life […]
Third Widmer trial should have been moved
02/16/11 at 4:12pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I am still shaking my head in disbelief at the verdict the jury found for Ryan Widmer. What happened to the medical evidence from the national forensic expert? Was it even remembered or discussed? And the narcolepsy, did anyone explain this to the jurors and how it could have been a major issue in drowning? […]
700 WLW prevented untainted Widmer trial
02/16/11 at 4:10pm by Letters Editor | Comments
I wish I could take comfort that Ryan Widmer was convicted by a jury untainted by the media ("Widmer guilty of murder"), but radio station 700 WLW prevented that from happening. It would be naive to think that the jurors did not either hear directly, or talk to someone who did, the almost non-stop barrage […]

This regional approach to combining jail system facilities and resources proved to be an economical solution to resolving jail overcrowding for the counties of Bedford, Campbell and Halifax as well as the cities of Bedford and Lynchburg, Virginia. All of the facility renovations and additions included some type of dormitory space, totaling over 300 dormitory beds. The overall design and creation of additional capacity allow the counties to distribute housing capacity and classification over the various component facilities of the system offering further flexibility in meeting the needs of the region.
The security management and control for the facility consists of a programmable logic controller (PLC) based system that fully integrates access and door controls, intercommunications, situation alarms and closed circuit surveillance video into an operator friendly touchscreen graphic display.

Thorpe shot a final-round 6-under-par 66 to better Ed Dougherty, who also shot 66, by two strokes. Last week, Thorpe earned his first career Senior Tour victory at The Transamerica.
'It's harder to win out here than on the PGA Tour,' said Thorpe, who captured three PGA Tour titles. 'I wish this was early March. I'm really driving it well. That's a big plus to hit it 300 yards and straight.'
Thorpe joins Larry Nelson as the only men to win back-to-back tournaments on the 2000 Senior Tour.
Thorpe finished the week at 21-under-par and earned a first-place check of $165,000. He moves to 6th on the money list. Nelson continues to lead the Tour in season earnings. Nelson tied for 8th this week to increase his lead over Bruce Fleisher to over $205,000.

Step 1: Tooth Aches and Teeth Strengthening
How I use it
For specific tooth pain, I dip my finger in coconut oil (in solid form), gently massage it around the tooth in question, and avoid extremely hot or cold food and beverages for a few hours. For preventative measures, after brushing my teeth with regular toothpaste, I apply about a dime-size amount of coconut oil to my toothbrush and brush my teeth, gums, and tongue with the oil before bedtime. (Since adding this step to my daily routine, I no longer experience tooth pain.)
Need more than coconut oil?
Add two drops or so of clove oil to the coconut oil.

Simmons & Simmons smashes PEP target
Readers' comments (23)
"Men grow cold
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our charms in the end.
But diamonds, diamonds, diamonds -
Diamonds are a girl's best friend."
Who's the Daddy?
Puff Daddy has a motorhome with a marble floor. I don't know whether that costs exactly £47,000, but it did make me respect him far more as an individual.
£47k? That's roughly the price of... an NQ salary, isn't it?
Gravel Pit
A wise man once said: "Cash Rules Everything Around Me. CREAM! Get the money. Dollar dollar bills y'all"
Average 4,700,000 cola bottles per partner. (CBPP).
Oxfam does this thing where instead of a crappy Christmas gift you can buy poor villages stuff like a toilet, a donkey, a llama or a well. I'd bet that £47k buys you a pretty bad-ass well.
Football pools.
They're the investment of the future.
No way!
Partners should buy junk bonds instead. I'd be happy to help.
Spare £47k
diamond-studded nipple clamps. You can get them on the internet.
Well done Simmons for beating their target, but it still leaves them far short of that plan they had in yesteryear of joining the magic circle.

I was surprised at how much brighter, larger and heavier this silverware was as I am only used to the cheap stuff. I love the handmade look, I noticed a couple of rough spots however the packaging was a disgrace! Single pieces and groups held by elastic were thrown into a 9X9 box with only a small piece of bubble wrap. When I opened the box some were standing up and some laying down, in a JUMBLE... Also the box itself was taped poorly and the address was put on the bottom of the box. At least all of the pieces could be wrapped in a big piece of bubble wrap together (like a burrito) and taped neatly! This is a heavy box and it would be easy for this silverware to get loose and fall out of the box.
This is a LARGE set of flatware. I like it, but each piece is much bigger than expected. The handle width on all pieces is 15/16". The length of the knife is 9 3/4". The large fork is 8" long overall. 5 1/4 of that is handle, the rest is the tines. It is a also heavier than any flatware I've ever had. Paul Bunyan flatware! If you're looking for dainty or delicate this not it, but it's a good set of flatware.
The quality of the product was great, but the packaging was horrendous. When it was delivered, the box had two huge holes in it. I was scared that some of the stuff had fallen out! I will not be ordering from overstock again. The price was great, but not worth it to risk losing part of my order due to poor packaging.
I was looking for the hammered look. This set was very reasonable so I tried it. I am very happy with the quality.
The packing of the product is poor. I needed two sets. I have ordered a third set to make for the missing parts. Then I will ship the incomplete set back. After speaking with several overstock customer service people I was told that this has been a problem with the supplier. Wish that had been noted before I ordered. It has been a hassle. The third set has not yet arrived. I had been told to wait for the se ons set to see if that would complete the first set. They should have been shipped together in my opinion. They were ordered as one order. Hope it all works out in the end, as I am following instructions I was given.
Great silverware! Love the hammered look! Totally hated the packaging!
I bought this flatware for our new cabin vacation rental. When it arrived, I wanted to keep it for myself. It is nice quality, not the cheap flatware where you bend a spoon trying to scoop ice cream. I am very pleased with this purchase. ***
Other reviewers are right - the soup spoons that belong to this set are very large. But the set came in good shape - no problem there. Love the Arts and Crafts style.
nice look, weight and feel to this flatware....as one other person mentioned, the soup spoons are quite over-sized but I can get over that feature
We really love the hammered look and they're heavy duty. I did not experience the packaging issues noted the previous reviewers. The box was fully intact and all of the utensils were bubble wrapped. I ordered these right before a dinner party and received several compliments on them.

Yes they are nice ole bows, really like 'em, I'll bump ya again. :)
2 Nitrous cammed bows on the same page and no takers! Crazy! I'd swap mine for a Bengal or something similar.
Thanks for the bump guys! :D I hope I am not asking too much. I am trying to sell it to someone on here because I know they'll appreciate it. I have 2 bows so I am parting with this one. I don't want to put it on ebay or anything like that, so I am hoping someone wants to talk lol!!
My offer still stands, could make a very happy teenager! :D I don't want to offend you in ant way but used bows don't retain value that well. I paid $300 for my Pro line Slayer when it was two years old. :)
I had one just like this except it was silver and didn't have the X shoot thru setup, wish I still had it. May be interested if you still have it in a few weeks........
Jim - that is:
1. causing, capable of causing, or liable to cause astonishment, bewilderment, or a loss of consciousness or strength: a stunning blow.
2. of striking beauty or excellence.
Anybody even have a monetary offer?

Mark Feehily is a member of one of the world's most famous and successful boybands. And in 2005 the Irish Westlife hunk revealed to the world that he is gay.
In that interview with the Sun newspaper, Feehily said:
"My life has got umpteen times better. My sexuality doesn't define me as a person, but it's a huge part of anyone to be open about it. It's changed my life totally, as I feel so much happier and at ease. It's the best thing I've ever done."
Now, more than two years on, 27 year-old Feehily and his long term boyfriend Kevin McDaid have decided the time is right to go public about their relationship. And they've done it in style – as cover boys for the current (December 2007) issue of UK gay lifestyle magazine Attitude.
Feehily and McDaid, who was a member of the now defunct boyband V, have previously avoided discussing their relationship. But in their interview with Attitude, the pair talk frankly and openly about their romance.
The couple revealed that after meeting at a charity pop gig in Dublin, they got chatting and took each others' phone numbers. As McDaid told the magazine:
"I was texting him back taking the p***. Westlife were rehearsing for a tour and one of the costumes was like workmen."
"The Kwik Fit Fitters," adds Feehily. "He was taking the p*** out of me for my dodgy outfit but he'd dressed up as an ice cream man for one of his performances. I quite liked the Kwik Fit Fitter outfit, actually."
The couple were rumoured to be engaged back in 2005, but Feehily says he grew tired of being asked if they would be tying the knot.
"At the start I used to think it was a topical issue because of civil partnership, which I think, by the way, sounds like a f****** operation or something. It's marriage, you know? It sounds like a lung transplant."
McDaid added: "I think we'll look into it in the future. At some point in our relationship we're going to want to basically celebrate being together. And it is a good excuse for a good old shindig, isn't it?"
Here are a few more yummy pics of the dishy couple…

Fall walks
Well no cooking tonight. Just lots of yummy leftovers! However A nice after dinner walk was definitely the ticket! I just love all of the fall colors,and the sunset was exceptionally pretty tonight!
Posted by The Sunflower Patch at 8:59 PM
2 comments:
Can't agree more about the fall colors. In the city there are so many different kinds of trees, such a variety. And they all color differently, so pretty. My favorites, besides the gorgeous maples, are the ones that are a mixture of dark reds and purples on top but bright yellow from the bottom.ReplyDelete

The Flâneur
Derived from the French verb flâner, meaning "to stroll," a flâneur is one who walks without a destination. Refined by French poet Charles Baudelaire, the idea of the flâneur as a person who travels a city on foot in order to experience it has been embraced by thinkers in fields such as photography and urban planning. Disengaged yet aware, the flâneur wanders without any purpose except to observe without interacting.
Photograph of the black board in the New York Gold Room, September 24, 1869, showing the collapse of the price of gold. Handwritten caption by James A. Garfield indicates it was used as evidence before the Committee of Banking & Currency during hearings in 1870.
Black Friday (1869)
In 1869, American financial speculators Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market by trying to prevent the sale of government gold, which they hoped to achieve by influencing President Ulysses Grant. The plan backfired when Grant discovered the plot and released $4 million of government gold for sale. On a day that came to be known as Black Friday, the price of gold plummeted, panic ensued, and thousands were ruined—though not Gould or Fisk.
The Godfather of Brazilian Soul
" Tim Maia would have turned 70 this Friday. The musician was a superstar in his native Brazil, but he never made it big in the U.S.—despite beginning his career here, arriving in Tarrytown, N.Y., illegally at age 17. He got deported back to Brazil after a marijuana arrest in Florida and hit it big back home a few years later. But not here.
Now David Byrne's record label Luaka Bop is introducing him to American audiences withNobody Can Live Forever: The Existential Soul of Tim Maia. The collection includes recordings from throughout the 1970s, including songs he wrote for a spiritualist group called Energia Racional, which believed that humans would eventually be saved by aliens in flying saucers who would return us to our real home. For a year Maia dressed in robes and only performed for his fellow believers…"

SpeechJammer Earns Ig Nobel Prize
If you have ever had the desire to silence a blowhard, you need the SpeechJammer, a device that disrupts a person's speech by playing it back with a slight delay, confusing the speaker just enough to stop talking. Its inventors were among those honored this year with Ig Nobel Prizes—a parody of the Nobel Prizes—for achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think." Other awardees include levitating a frog, psychologists who found that leaning to the left makes the Eiffel Tower seem smaller, physicists who devised an equation that predicts the shape of a ponytail, and a Russian company that converted old ammunition into diamonds
