Have you heard of Operation Christmas Child? I want you to not only hear about it I am asking that you get involved. What is Operation Christmas Child? Simply put it is about the power of a simple gift. Operation Christmas Child is the world's largest Christmas project of its kind. It uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world.
Operation Christmas Child was started by an organization called Samaritan's Purse in 1993. Since that time it has collected and delivered more than 100 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 100 countries. This is my third year being involved with Operation Christmas Child and now that my daughter is a pre-schooler I was excited to talk with her again about the shoebox gifts that we were preparing to pack. "Sweetie Pie did you know that not every child has enough to eat and some have never had a toy?" "Momma, they can share my food and toys."
This simple yet important idea of sharing and caring for others is what Operation Christmas Child is all about. Operation Christmas Child presents each of us an opportunity to bring hope, love and to even minister in a child's life. Imagine your child cold, hungry and without some of the basics like access to clean water.
Sending something as simple as a shoebox filled with items like a toothbrush, comb, flip-flops, books and perhaps even candy and a toy will let a child know that they are not forgotten. That they are important, that they are loved and that there is hope.
If you want to get involved it's really quite simple. Many churches around the country are participating with Operation Christmas Child you can join with a local church and drop off your donated boxes to the designated collection center in your area. Collections have started so you can usually drop off anytime. However, National Collections week is November 18 – 25. You can also start your own drive and have a packing party at your home. Invite friends, neighbors or relatives to come over with empty shoeboxes preferably plastic ones and several items and work together to pack the boxes. Items that are great for children are often ones that can be repurposed and shared. Plastic boxes enables children to use them later for carrying water and washing up in. Items like toothbrushes and combs are essential and including more than one helps children to share with others who may not have received a box or family members. If including candy ensure that it is hard candy so that it will not melt when shipped. Items like soap, washcloths and flip-flops are appreciated. And of course a small toy will bring joy to a child's heart. All of these items can be found at your local Dollar Store. I took my daughter along with me to the Dollar Store to pick out items for other children. Instilling a spirit of caring and service in her was exciting for me. I also joined in with the collection center in my community for an packing party. We had a great time and packed over 100 boxes! Here's some of the key steps to donate to Operation Christmas Child.
1. Shoebox
Use an empty cardboard or plastic shoebox (average size). You can wrap the box, lid separately, but wrapping is not required.
2. Boy or Girl
Decide whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the age category: 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Download and print the appropriate boy/girl label. Mark the correct age category and tape the label to the top of your box.
3. Fill With Gifts
Fill the box with a variety of gifts that will bring delight to a child.
4. Include $7 Donation Per Box
Help cover shipping and other costs related to delivering your shoeboxes to children overseas by donating $7 for each gift you prepare. You can give online to discover the destination of your box. Or, you can write a check to Samaritan's Purse (note "OCC" on the memo line) and place it in an envelope on top of the items inside your shoebox. If you are preparing multiple gifts, please make one combined donation. Note: Follow Your Box is only available through online giving.
Remember to Pray for the children who will receive your shoebox gifts.

This time, it's a wool hoodie for my husband. I would say, my master piece so far. At least, it was the most difficult pattern until now and it had cost me a lot of sweat and blood. But I'm very happy with the result.
The lining is a fleece fabric, so this hoodie keeps you really warm!
The pattern is again a German one, I'm sorry. ;)
(I had to put it on my dress form for the pictures, that's why it looks a little huge.)

That looks great! I love the tone-on-tone wool and ribbing.

First of all, I realize this might not be the right place to put this so I'll apologize beforehand if it's in the wrong section.
Anyways, I just want to ask which champion, in your opinion, is the most balanced right now? I just hit 6.3k IP yesterday, and I'm interested in buying a long-term champion that I can make as my main. The problem is, I don't want to buy an UP champ (for obvious reasons), nor an OP champ that I know is going to be nerfed in a few weeks. SO, I just want to ask, what's the most viable high ELO character that's pretty balanced and will remain so for a longtime?
Edit: I realize there's really no answer to this, but I do want to see what everyone else thinks, so please dont post "there's no balanced char", etc. ,etc. If you don't think any champion is balanced, at least give me a recommendation for a champ to buy that won't get nerfed in the near future please XD
that really depends on your play style do you like to carry or tank or what? personally I like pirate, trist, poppy, and teemo. notice all physical dps/carry heros. but thats my personal favorite style
How about Alistair?
ah yes, should've mentioned my playstyle lol :/
I personally own gangplank and teemo already, and those carries are my main playstyle.
I absolutely hate tanks....I mean, I love having Alistar on my team, but to play him would just blow my brains out.
So I guess what I"m looking for is anything along the lines of dps/carry/assassin, but no tanks please
And also, the most important thing I think would have to be that the champ must be at least viable in high ELO, considering this is supposedly a long-term investment. Therefore, the more I can use the champ at high ELO, the better the champ is for ELO, then the better
Junior Member
eve is pro should give her a try shes awesome for carries since you obv like carries
yeah but once you do master her she is pretty unstoppable if you can end the game before 30mins
A good list of high ELO champions, choose from there.
I recommend Nidalee she is really strong but not OP and she hasn't really been touched by nerfs recently. You can go AP or AD but either way your DPS is huge especially in cougar form... Anyone at 1/2 HP dies in under 2 seconds with this button order QWE.
Eve is terrible against any competent opponent.

Best Nigiri in Vancouver?
- m
- makinitgreen Jun 17, 2012 07:13 PM
My husband and I are heading to Vancouver for a week on Wednesday to celebrate our last few months as a couple before our first child arrives in October. We want to find the very best nigiri in Vancouver and avoid those over-mayonnaised concoctions many Japanase restaurants offer Westerners. Any particular suggestions? From my initial research, it seems like Ajisai and Octopus Garden may be good options. We're open to a a variety of experiences - from holes in the wall to the best service available. Thanks!
Where you from and what qualities of sushi & nigiri are you accustomed to ?
I've never been, but Miku is highly regarded:
And Aki, a long-time institution that I've not personally been for a long time even before their recent re-location:
Some may suggest you avoid well-known places like Tojo's. I'm not one to enter into debate there ;-)
As to Ajisai and Octopus Garden, they are extremely consistent, in a good way.
Congrats on the imminent arrival! If you're really seeking nigiri, may I suggest Miko (not Miku, where to me the only real standout is the salmon aburi)? They really know their fish at Miko and the wait staff will steer you toward the especially good cuts if you act reasonably serious. I've never had mayonnaise on nigiri (only temaki, gunkan or maki) so I'm not certain what you're after, but Miko kicks it old school and doesn't do any "weird" stuff. Book a cozy two top on the east side of the resto, be sure to order a la carte (not the set lunches/dinners) and bring money. Good sushi is not cheap even here in Sushilandia :-). No need to sit at the bar here as the itamae are working hair straight back and don't interact much. I also like Ajisai a bunch but I find their table seating uncomfortable so if you do try it, go early and get seats at the bar. Haven't been to the new Aki but I never found them strong on sushi, more on the robata stuff, previously. OG is a good bet too.
re: grayelf
Thank you, Grayself! This is so helpful! Miko is now at the top of the list. And good to know that OG and Ajisai are good options, too. We'll be sushi hopping in just a few days!
Ajisai and Octopus Garden are great choices!
A cheaper alternative is Shiro on Cambie & 15th. Little hole in the wall but they deliver the goods!
In addition to the above suggestions, if you're looking for an option on the east side, Kishimoto (2054 Commercial Drive) has great sushi, nicely presented. And Sushi Hachi is in Richmond (8888 Odlin Crescent) but I'll mention it just in case -- it's definitely an "over-mayonnaised concoctions"-free zone (I think the Califiornia roll is about as non-traditional as they get). Their nigiri comes with very small pieces of rice so you can fill up on plenty of neta instead. Slow service, as it's a two-person operation (no kitchen, just sushi), but good quality.
re: queueueuq
Has Sushi Hachi extended their hours? If no, may be too late for OP to get a reso (no walk ins). Glad to hear their quality is still there, I thought I read a downward report a while back.
Kishimoto does lovely, delicious rolls (IMO the most beautiful in town) but they are pretty out there with unusual combos, though mayo is not a problem. Had one experience with still-frozen tuna in the sashimi there, and all deepfried items should be avoided, but their salmon aburi is nearly as good as Miku's and is about a third less cost-wise. Cute room too but small so OP should get resos. Don't miss the housemade yuzu ice cream for dessert.
re: grayelf
Yes, Kishimoto has creative rolls, but I thought it'd be ok since the OP is focussing on nigiri. (Btw, their toro tataki might be my favourite tataki in the city.) Yes on the yuzu ice cream!
re: queueueuq
Come to think of it, I don't recall ever getting mayo on any nigiris I've eaten. Actually I never understood why mayo is even introduced in rolls in the first place.
re: LotusRapper
As I mentioned, I've never had mayo on nigiri (gunkan, yes) either. I will admit that I enjoy a shot of Kewpie on certain rolls, particularly ones that have a tempura component. But a judicious hand, please, and not on everything :-).
re: grayelf
According to Yelp, it's possible to just walk in to Sushi Hachi. It sounds like a fabulous place! It's definitely on our list, so hopefully we'll be able to get in there without a problem.
And yes, I haven't had mayo on my nigiri, either, but sometimes when you ask for sushi recommendations people point you to the popular Western joints, which my husband and I really don't care for anymore. After a trip to San Francisco truly educated our palates, we started up the hunt for the best sushi we can get our hands on whenever we travel.
Oh, and we're definitely open to rolls as long as the fish is the focus, so sounds like Kishimoto is up our alley, too. Thanks!
re: makinitgreen
There's also Kura in Burnaby, on Kingsway. Avoid lunch ..... too busy due to office lunch crowd. Dinner is when you get the full staff attention and quality eats. They are Japanese-owned & operated.
Ichiro in Steveston Village of Richmond is good too:
re: LotusRapper
I think last time I walked past Kura there was a sign saying they were closed; hearsay suggests they are converting it to an izakaya, but I have no confirmation of this.
In addition I was very jet lagged and exhausted when this all went down so take this entire post with a grain of salt, my memory is a bit fuzzy.
re: jerkstore
Interesting, maybe jumping on the izakaya bandwagon. Hope the rest of their operation remains as core. Been awhile since I ventured out thataways for meals.
re: LotusRapper
I will keep an eye out and report back if there are any developments...I live nearby and walk past relatively frequently on the way to Pho 24 Express.
re: makinitgreen
I hope SH works for you but bear in mind they are only open for three hours a night Tues-Sat and they only seat about 20 people so your trip may be in vain without a reso. The guy on Yelp appears to have been a solo dinner. See May 25 entry here for a recent take on the no-reso approach: http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/14/181736...
If you do get in be sure to order the three-line grunt if it's available. Their fish menu is limited.
re: grayelf
Excellent! I will definitely take all of this into consideration!
Sushi Hachi - One chef - who knows what he is doing. I have been to Tsukiji in Japan and the fish served here was better if not comparable. This place is the most authentic Sushi restaurant in Vancouver hands down. I had one meal where the rice was too hard but every other meal has been the best in Vancouver by far. If you sit at the bar you can have a better view of the chef cutting the fish and preparing all your sushi. The chefs special at $25 for 10 pieces of sushi and one hand roll is the steal of a lifetime. Reservations one or two days in advance are recommended.
Ajisai - Great sushi. I have not had one bad meal here. Great every single time. I think its their pressed hamachi sushi that I really like but I can't remember exactly. My brother and sister who are vegetarians love eating there too.
Tokyo Thyme - Their black sesame tuna tataki and chicken teriyaki are amazing. The Mexican sushi chef used to work at Tojo's and his Japanese wife cooks in the back.
Kishimoto - Really amazingly presented sushi. They put effort in to everything and it shows
Miku - As some have said it is good but the stars are the aburi dishes especially the salmon oshi and ebi oshi.. which Kishimoto also has
Shiro - Really good every time I go there but it always smells like fish
Hamaei - Wow. I really did not expect this place to impress when I first saw it from the outside but once you get inside you know it is going to be good.
My friend really loves Aki and keeps wanting me to try it - especially the black cod there. I think it will be my next restaurant.
Of the Izakayas, I think Kingyo and the Guu (Guu with garlic being my favourite) family of restaurants are my top picks. I also like Zakusshi quite a bit but I have had one or two mediocre meals there (and a few spectacular meals there)
Stay away from Tojo's. I have been there three times and regretted it each time. I had the Omakase two times - we were presented with almost the exact same dishes both times (these visits were years apart). There were some standout dishes such as the deep fried shitake mushroom with fish paste but that is about the only dish I was really impressed by. The last trip was the worst where the sushi platter we ordered was of a grade just above AYCE - it seemed as if they had cut the sushi hours before and left it out to sit. The pieces of fish were also cut clumsily; they were not cut to fit the piece of rice underneath. You can eat at all the restaurants listed above for the same amount as one meal at Tojo's.
re: quddous
Great list quddos - almost identical to my own list.
re: quddous
Miko is currently on top for me.
re: quddous
Just want to say that all of these recommendations are right on, at least the ones we made it to. We had sushi every night we were in Vancouver, and Sushi Hachi in RICHMOND (do not make the mistake we did and carelessly write down the Sushi Hachi VANCOUVER address - it's a complete dive) is amazing. We sat at the bar and watched the chef prepare our meal, and my god the fish was divine. The rolls were a little sloppy — falling apart — but I didn't care because the quality of the fish was so top notch.
We ended up at Octopus Garden twice because I messed up on the Sushi Hachi Richmond reservation and went to the Vancouver restaurant of the same name instead. Of course we left immediately. I have to say, OG's sashimi was wonderful and the ambience elegant. The chef, Sada, owns the restaurant, which has been in business for 20 years this year. He was so friendly and interested in his customers. A wonderful place to go with friends for a special occasion.
Ajisai was also great — the kanpachi was WOW! As was their toro. Ambience nothing special, but who cares if all you're looking for is great sushi.
Kishimoto's was good, but I wasn't super impressed with it. I didn't leave there wanting to run and tell everyone about it. But I certainly wouldn't complain if it were the only sushi restaurant in Vancouver. I guess I was a little confused by the waitstaff, who were all very young and very white. In all of the other authentic sushi places we went to, all of the waitstaff was Japanese, which helps make it feel that much more authentic. (Obviously a weird little bias of mine.)
Finally, Miko on Robson (not Miku) was probably the best sushi for the best value. The fish was fantastic, and it was significantly less expensive than all of the other places we went to. Of course, still not cheap if you're going to eat a lot of sushi the way we did, but still cheaper.
Thanks, all, for your recommendations. That was the most amazing sushi tour we've ever been on. Now we just have to empty our piggy banks to pay for it all!
re: makinitgreen
I didn't included Octopus Garden on my list because it ends up being really expensive each meal I go there. Usually about $120-180 for two people while at Ajisai our meals end up being about $60. There is a huge disparity there. They do have some great quality food if you have tried everything else and want something new.
Miko is one that I have wanted to go to for a while now. Quite a few people have recommended it.
re: quddous
Hmmm, that's interesting. We paid $100 and $120 for our two meals at OG, not including tip. We paid about $100 at Ajisai, too. We didn't have drinks at either place, so that's all sushi. Maybe it depends on what you order . . .
re: makinitgreen
Interesting comment about Kishimoto. The owners are a couple, she white, he Japanese. I haven't noticed all the wait staff being non-Japanese but I haven't been for a few months. I have noticed the service being a bit confoozled at times. Did they have the yuzu ice cream?
re: grayelf
The service at Kishimoto is enthusiastic and sometimes confoozled. If you are looking for a more traditional Japanese style service with Japanese staff, this isn't the place for you. Since I don't put Kishimoto in the "authentic sushi" category, I'm OK with it.
re: makinitgreen
"Ajisai was also great — the kanpachi was WOW! As was their toro. Ambience nothing special, but who cares if all you're looking for is great sushi."
Kanpachi, mmmm. That's probably my favourite nigiri, after uni. Hard to find, but better even than hamachi (which is great in itself).
re: jcolvin
Yeah, Ajisai often gets interesting/unusual fish as specials, worth a look if you can make it by and the kanpachi is always good. We got takeout on Friday and it was tiptop -- they always do a great job on the rice, so important! Something that really impressses me there is the variety of veg based sushi they have. They do a great red pepper nigiri, for example, and their avopara roll (avocado and asaparagus) is so refreshing. The okra gunkan alone was worth the candle. They also use yamaimo and natto a fair bit which I love. Not too much cooked stuff though as they don't have a full kitchen or deep fryer (they use tiny Japanese cornflakes in their dynamite roll instead of tempura) but I did see a mighty fine looking gindara saikyo going by as we were picking up our order.
Sorry - replying to an old thread, my wife and I moved to Vancouver a few months ago and I'm browsing the archives to use for discovering the city :)
Since we've been here, we've been going to Ajisai every single week - well-made nigiri, good fish selection for a reasonable price... the hamachi-toro (off-menu) is pretty consistent and our favourite, our other regular choices - toro, kanpachi, hamachi, sockeye, amaebi, uni, hotate - vary from good to great depending on the day... and the staff are good with suggesting options that are good on that day. We love it, and highly recommend it.
Does Vancouver have any 'special occasion' sushi restaurants like the serious high-end ones in Japan? i.e. a place with really good rice, real wasabi, serves one piece at a time at the proper temperature and sauce, serves only the high-quality fish they can find that day rather than a set selection, etc... Sorry, I know that sounds pretty snobby
re: analogarsonist
Check out Tojo's. It's very overpriced in my opinion but the experience there is closest to what you describe.
You'll also get some great sushi at Blue Water Cafe. It's not a sushi restaurant per se, but they put out beautiful sushi.
re: waylman
Tojo's would have been my first guess, but it gets so many negative reviews on this board :) I'll just have to try it out for myself I guess! And Blue Water is on my list as well...
Thanks! Will update with my thoughts when I try them :)
re: analogarsonist
My personal rule-of-thumb is, unless there's an unanimous decry of a certain restaurant, I would venture to try them out to experience for myself and make my own assessment of its merits (or lack thereof). Tojo's is to be experienced, if for nothing else, then it being the "pantheon" of local great sushi mythology ;-)
re: analogarsonist
Ok, ate at Tojo's tonight :)
When I called in to make the reservation, I inquired about the sushi bar, they mentioned that it was omakase only, and would cost between $150-$200... I thought about it, since this would clearly be the way to get the best experience from the restaurant... but then decided against it and asked for a table - figured I would give the restaurant a test-run before going all-in.
Sat down and looked over the menu, and noticed that the only nigiri on the menu was the "chef selection". Given that we were primarily interested in nigiri, we asked the waitress whether we could order individual nigiri pieces, she replied "We don't recommend nigiri, you can get nigiri anywhere, at Tojo's we're known for our rolls - did you know that Chef Tojo invented the California roll?" So I told her I would order other stuff too, but I would still like to order individual nigiri.
She brought over a separate printed menu with a decent selection of about 20 nigiri. I asked what was good today, but she didn't understand. I asked whether there was anything off the printed menu, there was only one additional option - a young sea-bream... OK - so, this is clearly not a serious sushi restaurant, but we were still optimistic
We ordered sake, hotate, mirugai, toro, hamachi (no hamachi toro), uni, amaebi (all nigiri) - the rice was very good, perfect texture, a bit underseasoned, but probably the best I've had in Vancouver. The fish was also very good, but pretty comparable to the other places we've been (Ajisai, Miku). Toro and mirugai were the stand-outs. Real wasabi, no varying individual sauces...Major problem though: about half of our fish was cut VERY poorly, lots of tough chewy tendon, which is kinda inexcusable
We also ordered some fillers - Tojo's Tuna (pretty good), Agadeshi Tofu (pretty good), Tojo's Roll (just ok), Golden Roll (pretty good but not worth $26). We also had their black sesame panna cotta for dessert, which was fantastic! We ended up spending about $125 pp, which is about twice as much as we normally spend at Ajisai (although they are clearly different class restaurants).
We looked over to the sushi bar pretty often - it definitely did seem like those people were having a very different experience. The hot food looked like mostly off-menu items, sushi was served one-at-a-time with some discussion (maybe this is where they emphasize the local fresh selections)... and lots of happy-looking (and rich-looking) Japanese people, which is always a good sign
So, we went to Tojo's looking for a serious sushi restaurant (reminiscing our experiences in Japan), and it's clearly not that. But we still ordered like it was a serious sushi restaurant, and ended up being disappointed... But we're still a bit intrigued about the omakase experience at the sushi bar, and still willing to give that a shot some day
re: analogarsonist
It's been a while since anyone posted here on Tojo's so thanks for the update. The one place that might have met your needs is now closed (Sushi Kimura) and you might still have had something to say about the knife cuts but never the quality or variety... sigh. Please do let us know if you decide to spring for the omakase at Tojo's.
re: analogarsonist
I remember when Tojo's Golden Roll was $6-and it was nothing too special back then.
re: analogarsonist
I've had omakase twice and it is no different from a la carte - extremely disappointing.
There are some things that are different/delicious - but that is only 10% of the meal.
re: analogarsonist
It doesn't get as much love on this board as I think it deserves, but I still think Dan (on Broadway) is one of the better places in the city. The omakase there is consistently wonderful and much more reasonably priced than a place like Tojo's. Generally though I suppose you're not likely to get more than a few pieces of sushi in the meal - the menu changes drastically depending on the day and season.
I haven't been to a place in Vancouver that is close to the same style as the high end of sushi-ya in Japan - generally the ones around here tend to be less focused on sushi alone, and more about providing variety to complement it. (Not to say it doesn't exist - but I haven't found it).
re: jerkstore
I like Dan-the food is outstanding-bit too much of an emphasis on booze for me though and the sometime erratic hours can be a trial to deal with.
re: jerkstore
Hadn't heard of Dan, have added it to my radar (walking distance for me too)
I'm starting to come to the conclusion that there aren't places in Vancouver similar to the Japanese high-end sushi places - oh well, gives me an excuse to travel :) I'm already extremely happy with the affordable choices we have here in Vancouver for my weekly sushi fix...
re: analogarsonist
Vancouver has an abundance of decent low priced sushi.
We have a few good mid level sushi restaurants but we are missing high end. Tojo's is supposed to be high end but he is pawning off mediocre sushi at high end prices.

New WRs Could Take Pressure Off TEs
The Patriots may have enough wide receiver that Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez may find defenses…
|Patriots Sign LB Hightower
Dont'a Hightower
After a lengthy negotiation New England signed their final unsigned Draft pick from the class of 2012.
The Patriots signed No. 25 overall pick Dont'a Hightower to a four-year deal with a club option for a fifth year.
Hightower, 6-4, 270, can play inside or outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense, the same scheme he played at Alabama under coach Nick Saban.
The Patriots traded up to draft Hightower 25th in April's NFL draft. He was one of two first-round picks by the Patriots, who also selected Syracuse junior defensive end Chandler Jones.
Hightower's deal is worth at least $7.57 million and up to $7.8 million with $6.2 million in total guaranteed money.
Hightower had 234 career tackles at Alabama and was a consensus All-American as a junior last season.

FAO assists community aquaculture development in Tonga
APIA, Samoa --- Development of community-based milkfish farming in Tonga will be given a boost through a project under the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme.
The project will work on Nomuka Island and Tonga'tapu and it has a total budget of USD231,000.
The project document was signed by the Minister for Agriculture & Food, Forests and Fisheries, the Honourable Sangster Saulala, in Tonga and the FAO Sub-regional Coordinator for the Pacific Islands, Gavin Wall, during the 10th Meeting of FAO South West Pacific Ministers for Agriculture held in Apia, Samoa, 11-13 April 2013.
The primary objective of the project is to develop commercially viable and environment-friendly milkfish farming systems in Nomuka Island and Tonga'tapu that will result in a sustainable source of food and income for island communities in Tonga.
The project will be executed by the Fisheries Department, Ministry of Agriculture & Food, Forests and Fisheries in Tonga in cooperation with FAO.
Under the project, the viability of community-based milkfish farming systems will be demonstrated by establishing and operating two pilot aquaculture systems. This will require the identification of suitable farm sites, environmental impact analysis, construction of the farm ponds, training in farm operations and management, local feed production, post harvest handling of the fish and marketing.
The communities will be involved in each step of the process and will receive extensive training in the operation of the farm as well as in business management.
Successful implementation of the project will enhance food security in the communities in Nomuka and Tonga'tapu. And it will add to the efforts of the government to establish viable income sources for local communities and to increase local production of nutritious food.

Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray: Moving in Together!!by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
After an emotional season of The Bachelorette, Andi Dorfman is happily engaged and planning for a lifetime of happiness with fiance Josh Murray.
She's getting started early on that mission: They're moving in together!
"It has definitely been a season of ups and downs, but just knowing that it's Josh and I in the end makes it all worth it," Dorfman, 27, tells People magazine.
A lot of the downs have come in the last 48 hours, and have nothing to do with Murray, the 29-year-old financial services rep and former baseball player.
Andi was called a slut on Fox News - seriously - following runner-up Nick Viall's shocking comment on The Bachelorette's After the Final Rose special.
Nick's now-infamous question of why Dorfman made love to him when she wasn't in love with him became the talk of the finale, but Andi brushed it off.
She's doing the same with any backlash over the ending of the season, saying she's just "enjoying being engaged" ... and planning to move in with Josh!
"We pretty much have been living with each other for these two months," says Murray. "We've been over at each other's houses all the time."
Adds Dorfman, 27: "That's important for us, especially because of how quickly we got engaged. I've learned so much about him in the past two months."
"We spend so much time together. I know what kind of person he is, what values he has and I trust what we have. He is the only one in the world for me."
"I love him more now than I did when I got engaged."
As we reported earlier today, the Dorfman-Murray wedding will likely take place next spring, and when it does, viewers will most likely be invited, too.
"As long as I get to marry him … and they have to show the reception," says Dorfman, while Murray adds, "We'd have so much fun at the reception."
What do you think: Will it last? VOTE!
The connection they have was there from Day 1, but she had to go thru the motions of the show and basically get to know ALL the guys. What many of us never saw was her so-called connection to Nick. It seems he was totally different when he was away from her as indicated by the other guys. She is a very confident, strong woman and Nick got lost in all that since he is on the quiet side. Maybe that is why she fell for him since he is the complete opposite of her. It is obvious Josh is crazy about her and she him. They make a good couple!!

I was critical with the way some tournament organisers ignored fundamental guidelines regarding draws. To me it reflects the lack of empathy these organisers have regarding players welfare. At the very least, open tournaments must identify state players from the rest. I have made my assertions to seed these players so as to avoid matches worthy of a final to occur in the early rounds. Otherwise, open draws will be very much a tournament of chance.A look at the lob-sided draw in U11 this month had me fuming as Aaron was drawn in the same half with two state players, whereas the other half was virtually an express lane to artificial glory. How is it that the organisers could turn a blind eye on this flaw although they have an archive of all previous results published in their own website at their disposal?
I dont need a crystal ball to predict how Aaron's tournament is going to end. In the quarters, he has an outside chance to get the better of Chia Jeng Hon (Pahang) whom would have been the first seed. Nevertheless, we can draw some positives out of this game. He can match the Pahang ace now in his racquet craft but still lacks the astuteness for the final kill. He is still a little short on big-match temperament.
Back to the draw, it is my fervent hope that tournament organisers will give this a serious thought. I am sure many participants and parents will support the adoption of the seeding system (where ever possible) to bring equity and quality to grassroots badminton in Malaysia.
2nd Preliminary – Aaron vs Hadrian Soh 30 – 21
Qtr Final – Aaron vs Chia Jeng Hon (Ph) 16 – 21, 12 – 21

Third time lucky postingf this
Third time lucky postingf this
I have had an email from a Paulo Napp @ a G Mail account asking me to log into this site via a link in the email and reset my password.
I got my replacement 65VT65 yesterday - fairplay to Richer Sounds for properly honouring their guarantee.
I went to see Hunger Games 2 at the Imax yesterday.
Normally I walk away from the Cinema feeling dissapointed - not this time.
I have had an image retented on my screen now for 4 odd weeks - having an ongoing issue with Richer Sounds over it.
I have spent the last few hours watching some blu ray content I have seen time and time again. I havent spent a huge amount of time watching blu rays since I have owned and calibrated to 2.4 gamm
I have just calibrated my 65VT65 for 3D and what I am now seeing is unbelievable!!
If more people saw 3D like this it would change a lot of opinions on 3D
There are quite a few people complaining about the Xperia Z wifi.
mine works great 98% of the time - the other 2% requires a restart and normally all data doesn't work.
Will follow this up as is unusable on iPad atm

House votes down payroll tax extension; no additional Fannie & Freddie fees for now
U.S. House votes not to extend payroll tax cut for two months; want full year instead
The U.S. House just voted down the two-month extension of the payroll tax cut passed by the Senate Saturday, leaving the cut's future in doubt heading into the holidays.
It also means, for now, that the proposed increase in fees charged to banks that issue mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac won't happen. (Read more about that plan here.) At the same time, House leadership has stated support for that plan in the past, so this seems more of an issue with the length of the extension rather than how it is paid for.
House Republicans say they want a full-year extension of the tax cut instead and are requesting a formal conference with the Senate to settle the issue. The Senate passed the two-month extension by an 89-10 vote after a bipartisan agreement. Senate leaders have said they don't plan to call their members back to Washington to renegotiate the agreement.

Memories from 40 years ago
Dave Haas
September 5, 2013I had the pleasure of working in the Image Processing Lab at JPL during the Mariner 10 mission. I didn't know Dr. Murray well, but attended many meetings in which he was a (usually vocal) participant -- always pushing for more and better imaging science. His dedication to the Mariner missions and subsequent efforts in planetary exploration has given all of us a real legacy. My sincere condolences to his family.

Set in the wilds of Scotland, this 13th Pixar feature is full of lush, green forests and dramatic, rolling hills, all of which look even more idyllic bathed in a delicate, mystical sunlight.
