Can you repress it? People have done that too. It has not helped. If you repress the ego, it goes deeper into your being. Rather than getting rid of it, you become more and more poisoned by it, because what will you do when you repress? You will force it into the unconscious; it will start going underground. But the unconscious is far more powerful than the conscious. Ego in the conscious has not much power. Once it enters into the unconscious it becomes nine times more powerful than it was before. Rather than getting rid of it, you will be more and more in its control. And one thing more: once the ego has become unconscious, you don't know anything about it. It has gone behind you. Now you cannot even watch it. Now you are completely a victim. Now you cannot protect yourself against it. Now you cannot make any arrangements to save yourself from it. It is there pulling your strings from behind. You will become a puppet, and you will be in the hands of the ego. And you were thinking that you had repressed it. Fight does not help, repression does not help.
The third thing that has been tried down the ages is sublimation. Sublimate it - let it be identified with higher goals. Then it becomes very decorated, it becomes enthroned. And naturally it again becomes very powerful. Identify it with your church, identify it with your country, identify it with your color, identify it with ideology - socialism, communism, fascism, Christianity, Hinduism. Identify it with some high value, some utopian value, or you can even identify it with God. Then it rules suprememost. Then it rules in the name of God. God is just an excuse. The real sovereign becomes the ego. And these are the three available ways: either fight or repress or sublimate. And nothing helps. Nothing can help because by its very nature the ego is such that solutions are not possible.
I have heard.
A mother is standing in a toy shop, and she says "Isn't this a rather complicated toy for a small child?"
The toy salesman says "This, Madam, is an educational toy, specially designed to adjust a child to live in the world of today: no matter which way he puts it together, it's always wrong."
And that's how the ego is. No way will ever bring you out of it. There is no remedy. To see it is to be on the right path. To see the complexity, the riddling nature of the ego, the puzzling nature of the ego, to comprehend it in its totality, is the beginning of wisdom. Otherwise it will come, and it will come in more subtle forms, and you will be deceived far more deeply.
The religious, the so-called religious person is deceived by it, because it comes hiding behind religious curtains. Sometimes it becomes humbleness, sometimes it becomes humility. Sometimes it can even pretend egolessness: it can say "I am absolutely egoless." And it is there, and now it has protected itself perfectly. You will not even suspect its existence. Watch the so-called religious people, and you will see a great game of the ego. The ego is there. It has become pious. But when the ego becomes pious it becomes more poisonous. It is pious poison. It corrupts you deeply.
The ordinary gross ego is not such a big problem. You can see it, it is there. Even the person who is its victim knows it is there - the disease is known. But when it becomes pious, takes religious garb, then even the victim is unaware. He lives in its imprisonment and thinks that he is free.
Start finding a remedy and you will be in more and more trouble. Why? - because most remedies are imposed. Why most? All remedies are imposed. You find them from somewhere outside, you find the clues from somebody else.

Sara Bareilles
About this title: Part of Sara Bareilles' charm is that she's one of the few millennial singer/songwriters who are unashamed of being polished and mainstream. She revels in rich, detailed productions, which is what makes Once Upon Another Time -- a stopgap EP designed to tide over fans as she prepares her third album -- a little disarming at first. Working with Ben Folds, a co-judge of hers from the NBC series The Sing-Off , Bareilles strips her sound to its core, opening the five-song EP with its skeletal title track. Things get a little ...

I have a pair of Light & Motion Sola 4000 LED lights for sale. I have used these lights on both Aquatica DSLR and Amphibico video housings. I used it on an Aquatica 5DII and D800 housing and on the Amphibico Rouge housing. One light is a little over a year old but only has about 75 dives on it. The other is a year older. You can see the difference in the Aluminum anodize, but both work identically. Both hold a good charge, I have rarely run them completely down on a typical macro dive. I also am including 4 chargers though only two are in the photo. I also have the covers and bags for the lights. They each have an Ultralight ball attached. Retail was just under $3000. Will sell the lot for $1500 including ground shipping anywhere in the US. PayPal OK. The lights are located in the US and ready for shipping.

text: Obama - the Al Capone of Climate Change - launches his next assault on democracy, the Constitution and the US economy Print article Send a Tip by James Delingpole 27 Aug 2014 post a comment There are two main reasons why President Obama stands a polar bear's chance in hell of imposing a binding carbon emissions reduction treaty on the US in the name of combating catastrophic, unprecedented man-made global warming. 1. It will kill the jobs, prosperity and personal freedom on which the American dream was built. 2. There is absolutely no hard evidence that catastrophic, unprecedented man-made global warming is anything more than a figment of the President's and his greenie chums' warped imaginations. Fortunately for all the rent-seeking one percenters, bent climate 'scientists', green activists, 'clean' 'energy' lobbyists, environment correspondents and professional victim groups who depend on the "global warming" scare for their livelihood, the president has hit on the perfect solution. Obama plans to bypass the democratic process, override all those pesky checks and balances, and railroad through that legislation anyway by appealing to the higher authority of the United Nations. According to the New York Times: President Obama's climate negotiators are devising what they call a "politically binding" deal that would "name and shame" countries into cutting their emissions. The deal is likely to face strong objections from Republicans on Capitol Hill and from poor countries around the world, but negotiators say it may be the only realistic path. "If you want a deal that includes all the major emitters, including the U.S., you cannot realistically pursue a legally binding treaty at this time," said Paul Bledsoe, a top climate change official in the Clinton administration who works closely with the Obama White House on international climate change policy. Lawmakers in both parties on Capitol Hill say there is no chance that the currently gridlocked Senate will ratify a climate change treaty in the near future, especially in a political environment where many Republican lawmakers remain skeptical of the established science of human-caused global warming. That article provides a useful insight into the mentality of the kind of people who are pushing for this legislation. First, they are determined to misrepresent this as a party political issue - in which ignorant, ideologically motivated, Big-Oil-funded Republican "denialists" are wilfully and perversely obstructing the perfectly sensible climate policies fully supported by all Democrats. This wasn't true in 1997 when the Senate voted down the first attempt at a binding international climate treaty - Kyoto - by 95 to 0. It isn't true today. Second, it refers to "established climate science" as if - to quote Al Gore - the science on global warming were "settled." This was a risible notion even at the height of the global warming scare back in 1992 during the Rio Earth Summit when for a period global mean temperatures were actually rising but when scientists couldn't agree why. It is even less plausible now, given that as all half-way serious scientists - alarmists and realists, alike - now acknowledge there has been no global warming in over 17 years. So what, exactly, does the President think he is playing at? Simple. He has been casting around for a legacy issue on which his disastrous presidency can be judged and realized that neither his handling of the economy, nor his universal healthcare program, nor his foreign policy are quite going to pass muster with future historians. So instead he has decided to stake his reputation on climate change. Climate change, for a man of Obama's principles, has many merits. First - if he is right, which unfortunately he isn't - it will enable him to go down in history as the man who saved the world from the Greatest Threat It Has Ever Known. Second, it is the perfect way of shoring up his left-wing voter base while simultaneously rewarding all those rich liberal donors who have bankrolled his presidency. From Solyndra and BrightSource to the monstrously corrupt wind industry, Obama's cronies have been enabled, by presidential fiat, to make many billions of dollars - much of this money funneled straight from the pockets of US taxpayers, either in the form of stimulus loans for ventures which certainly would never have survived in a free market or in the form of compulsory subsidy payments for "clean" energy. This crony capitalism is one of the blackest marks against the Obama administration. These "clean energy" businesses would never survive in a free market because there are so many better, cheaper and, indeed, more environmentally friendly ways of producing energy, such as shale gas. If the climate change scare were to end, these Potemkin industries would collapse (those that haven't already done so) in a trice. Which is why it is so imperative for all those rent-seekers with their snouts in the green trough that the climate change remains a live issue for as long as possible. And why Obama will live in infamy as the instigator of corrupt parallel economy not unakin to the one established by fellow Chicagoans like Al Capone during Prohibition - but on a much bigger scale. The overwhelmingly skeptical US public is proving very unhelpful to Obama. In survey after survey, they fail to be nearly as concerned about global warming as Obama would like them to be. But his friends at the United Nations are proving much more sympathetic. It is the UN which hosts all the annual climate conferences, like the one in Paris next year, where Obama plans to slip through his new legislation. It is the UN which created the Intergovernmental on Climate Change (IPCC) - the heavily politicized body responsible for all those scary reports which insist, against all evidence, that climate change becomes a greater threat with each passing year. It is no coincidence that just before news broke of Obama's plans for a new international climate agreement, the IPCC leaked to the media drafts of a "synthesis" of its most recent assessment report. The "synthesis" is replete with dire warnings: 'Continued emission of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.' The word "risk" is used 351 times in just 127 pages. But there's a reason for this, as Breitbart London reported when the initial reports were released, here, here and here. All the scariest predictions come not in the body of the scientific assessment reports, but rather in the sexed-up summaries produced by spin-doctors for the purpose of galvanizing policy-makers into action. The summaries, in other words, have very little to do with current scientific understanding of climate change. Rather, they are designed to give people like Barack Obama the fig-leaf of justification they so desperately need to reward their liberal cronies and burnish their green credentials while bombing the global economy back to the dark ages.

Wood Oven Pizza on Roncesvalles!
Old Cosa Pizza location. Will be two floors. No idea when it will be open. Thin crust Naples style pizza. Info from one of the workers on site.
Cosa Pizza
321 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R2M6, CA
re: chewdaddy
Oh yeah, that place is terrible. They've got their pizzas in the window at 9 in the morning.
re: jamesm
I expected more from that place since the cook used to work at Massimo's on College.
re: gregclow
still under construction :(
There is already a great pizza joint on Roncy called Pizza Flora. They have a good delivery area, too! The garlic knots are to die for and a must with every order, strombolis are awesome too as an alternative to their delicious pizzas.
re: gregclow
i would try a slice first....as we were disappointed by this place. thought the pizza was average at best and costly for quality...pizza nova does a better job and cheaper
re: PoppiYYZ
Now has a name - Pizzeria Delfina.
re: frito
Sorry Pizzeria Defina. http://pizzeriadefina.com/
Nothing on the site yet.
re: jamesm
I worry about a place that has been over a year in the making. I look forward to trying it-but this latest craze of super long construction is killing me. This place, keriwa and the enoteca beside keriwa...
re: lylaa
Haven't been yet, talked about it last night since it's around the corner but decided against it since we expected it to be a madhouse. Will likely try it this weekend though. My girlfriend and I are both fans of libretto (of all types of pizza actually) so we're hoping it will be close in quality.
re: jamesm
Apparently they offer 2 types of crust. Neopolitan (like Libretto, QMP & Pizza e Pazzi), and a Roma crust, which is crispier, more rigid.
Pizza e Pazzi
1182 St Clair Ave W, Toronto, ON , CA
There is a write up on Pizza Defina on Blogto today:
re: ylsf
A happy accident, we were in the neighbourhood of Pizzeria Defina and decided to give it a go.
Overall, really good...but not great. Here is the rundown:
The place was busy, but we were seated right away which was nice. The decor/ambiance was great, but the one thing I notice was how similar it is to a lot of other places. A lot of cafés, coffee shops, vintage stores, restaurants, etc. seem to be doing the exposed brick thing these days. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against it, I guess it is just the latest trend in interior design decor, so all these places are really starting to look a like....but I am getting off topic.
In an effort to see what this place has to offer, we ordered a marghertia on the Neapolitan and the Roma crusts. I also ordered a side of meat balls just because I had a hankerin.
When the meatballs arrived it was a very pretty display. 3 meatballs of a good size for a starter and topped with sauce and a little shredded parmigiano. They were ok, nothing great and actually a little dry, and the flavour was fairly generic, but they filled the void. The one quibble that I had was that the temperature seemed to vary with each bite, and it really puzzled me. I couldn't immediately figure it out, and then it hit me. The meatballs themselves were luke warm to cold from the outside to the very centre, but the sauce was almost piping hot. They were relying on the sauce to warm the meat, and it didn't quite work. As I said, it did fill the void, but I was a little dissappointed.
On to the pizzas. They looked good, it was kind of hard to tell them apart at first, but then you could see that the Neapolitan has a slight bigger, puffier crust around the edges (I guess I was expecting the neapolitan to have more visible, distinguishable char). They both tasted good, better than my experience at Terroni's. Between the 2, the Roman crust was preferred. It was very light and crispy.
Maybe I have been spoiled by Libretto, QMP & Pizza e Pazzi, but the Neapolitan just seemed like a better thinner version of the garden variety pizzas you find anywhere. This crust was chewy, but not like Libretto or the others, and there was very, very little char.
The bill came to about $55 (before tip), which included 2 glasses of wine, the meatballs and 2 pizzas. This is comparable to the other places, most recently Pizza e Pazzi, where the bill for 1 glass of wine, 1 beer and 2 pizzas came to about $50 (before tip).
Finally, a note about the service. It was friendly, and really good considering that there seemed to be only 1 server working the entire room. From what I witnessed, the only other 2 staff I saw (besides the pizza makers by the oven) only seemed to be occasionally clearing tables and bringing out a couple dishes every once in a while. For the most part it was just the one server doing everything, and she was very polite despite the fact that she seemed to be run off her feet and when she was running back and forth to the kitchen, you could see the look of fatigue on her face.
In summary, this is and will be a great neighbourhood place. I don't think the pizza is enough to make it a go-to, must-try destination like Libretto, but if you are ever walking down Roncy, and you feel like a well made pizza in a warm and friendly environment, then Pizza Defina is definitely worth checking out.

re: Lazar
I went this Saturday and quite enjoyed it. There was a bit of a lineup so it took 20m to be seated but after we were seated i found service to be cheerful and prompt.
We had the meatball app, quite nice, sauce was amazing as well and 3 pizzas - wife loved her "funghi" and i my diavelo? - something spicier anyway... i didn't find it overloaded with toppings so maybe they're listening to feedback on here or other boards. My wife says it's good like libretto, and i kind of agree - it's maybe not quite AS GOOD but it's pretty darn similar.
I'd comp some bread if i were them and maybe add an app or 2 calamari or whatever if possible.
Very enjoyable though super happy some great resto's are popping up over this way : )
it might have been a better bridal shop than restaurant.
service started sketchy and ended worse…i have never not left a tip…but first the food
the meatballs were okay, big but kind of hard and chewy-the tomato sauce with them however, was brilliant!
the pizza-too many toppings, toppings loaded into the centre-that results in a soggy middle. the toppings need to be balanced and spread out all the pizzas around us suffered the same problem. cooked longer, hotter oven, spun in the oven….so many easy corrections.
the carbonara, guanciale was great, pasta cooked perfectly, but the egg was bland, no parm, no salt or anything to add balance to this dish. no s&p on the table-if you don't want us to season our food-you have to do it correctly.
the service.
our 'waiter' was overwhelmed. yes it was busy but he just couldn't handle 5 tables of 2-the people next to us were sat before we arrived and had nothing but closed menus on their table. we were 'lucky' to get a floor manager type who saw that we were also sitting-but she was quicker and quite engaging for a while until i brought up the problem with the carbonara-her response (before disappearing for the rest of the night) was that this was an 'italian' carbonara without cream (canadian as she called it). we have had and cooked many an italian carbonara and understand how it is to be prepared. 'waiter boy' delivered our food and asked if we needed anything else-we asked for water which never came. another bottle of wine never came, the waiter and floor manager never came, the request to see if we wanted dessert never came, the bill never came, we went to the bar to pay the bill and when presented with the tip option on the debit machine i said no for the only time in my life thus far.
we won't be back
I can't comment on the food. We didn't make it that far. Went for dinner Friday night and there was one person in front of us in the line. There was an empty uncleared table - it sat uncleared for the 10 minutes we were waiting and during this time no one a) cleared the table or b) acknowledged the person waiting in front of us - didn't even make eye contact - although a waiter passed so close to this "guest" they might have knocked her over. No friendly hello, sorry, we'll get that table cleared as soon as possible" ... etc. She turned to us and commented "that was pretty bad." We couldn't agree more. We all turned and left. I hope the owners/managers read these posts. There's just no excuse for treating customers willing to leave their money on your tables like that.
re: sochow
Went Saturday night and althought there was a line we were seated within 5 minutes because there were just the two of us and a table opened up. Servers kept bringing bruschetta and some other items to people in the line throughout the night, so that was a nice touch. The line appeared to move fairly quickly from what I could see. Our waitress showed up immediately with water and menus and explained that they were short-staffed since an employee was in a car accident earlier so I appreciated the heads up. She was attentive and friendly if a bit delayed throughout the meal. All in all not a huge deal. We started with the fries which were cooked nicely and perfectly seasoned. They were served with a generous portion of truffle aioli. I also ordered the meatballs. These were delicious. Bite sized with an excellent texture. They were perfectly formed. The meat flavour was outstanding as well. I believe they were a combo of pork, beef and veal. The sauce was also very well done. A really nice rich well-balanced tomato sauce that was both sweet and bright. My girlfriend ordered a proscuitto pizza with the neopolitan crust. I ordered the papardelle with bolognese. I tried one bite of the pizza and it was good but I didn't have enough to really offer a significant comment. My girlfriend really enjoyed it though. She was only able to finish half of it, the portions are generous. I can't be sure but if i recall correctly I believe it is a fair bit larger than Librettos. My pasta was the stand out. The pasta was prepared beautifully and cooked to perfection and the bolgnese was fantastic. I was stuffed but would have happily finished a second serving. Again, the portion was quite generous. We also had a bottle of reasonably priced wine. In total it was about 110 dollars. We felt it was a good value. My only complaint was that it was incredibly hot and became increasingly so throughout the night. We likely would have had a coffee or dessert but we couldn't take the heat any longer.
Went to Pizzeria Defina last Tuesday night when we didn't feel like waiting 45 minutes for a table at Libretto. I was a bit pessimistic because I had heard some mixed things about the service.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. And although I'm still not sure that it is as good as Libretto, I really enjoyed it and would go back, and I also perfer the atmostphere here as it doesn't seem as chaotic.
All 4 in our party had pizza on the Roman crust, and the general consensus was that it was very good and the tomato sauce was the best we have ever had in Toronto; soo flavourful.
To back track a little bit, I asked our waiter whether it would be a problem to make some modifications to the pizza because of a dairy intolerance, and he said that it would be no problem at all.
I had heard one critique that said that pizzas were left in the pass for several minutes before they were picked up, but I think this has been corrected, as I noticed that the chef was ringing a little bell when the pizzas were ready and would ring it again or stop one of the servers if they were sitting for more than 30 seconds. I also saw the chef actually delivering a few plates himself to certain tables.
3 pizzas arrived to my table, and since we were sitting near the pizza oven, I realized right away that they had added cheese to mine as I heard the chef and waiter talking. The nice thing was that the waiter came to the table, explained that a mistake had been made on my pizza and that a new one was being made right away. When my pizza was ready, the chef actually delivered it to the table with another apology! Bonus points for that!
In any case, service was great, pizza was pretty darn good, atmosphere was good as well so I will definitely be back!

If you've planned a trip at some point in the past decade, chances are, you started online. Tourism sites can be a great help, but not all of them are equal. Let's say you're going to New York City, where the possibilities are endless. How do you narrow down your options?
Scenario #1: Broadway's on strike. Your plane tickets were booked in July. And even though the stagehands' union might reach a deal within the week, it's going to take a serious act of diplomacy to convince your 10 year-old daughter — who's been waiting patiently (or so she says) for the past year to see The Little Mermaid performed in real life — that a trip to the Empire State Building observatory would be just as fun. You've got the tap-dancing part down, but you don't want to turn into a flounder. Are there any kid-friendly plays happening off-Broadway?
Scenario #2: You're going to propose to your girlfriend, who grew up in Manhattan, when the two of you visit her parents in the Big Apple for Christmas. She's usually the one carting you around the city, but you want to surprise her with a romantic night on the town; dinner at a high-end vegetarian-friendly restaurant, an art opening perhaps, then cocktails at some trendy hotel bar that, at the moment, only exists in your head. You have no idea where to begin, other than Google.
NYCvisit.com is a good example of a tourism site with excellent customer focus. Not only is it full of great restaurant suggestions, it also serves food for thought to online marketers. For instance, notice how, front-and-center on the homepage, they acknowledge how the stagehands' strike could affect your trip:
How's that for a timely jolt of relevance?* They address the problem and basically tell you, "Don't worry, there's still plenty of New York for everyone." It's also worth noting how they give visitors in fast-paced Spontaneous or Competitive modes — (more about the different buying modes here) — links to "plan it now" or "play video now." Perfect! Move 'em right along…
Which brings me to my favorite part about the site: They help you find out what type of New Yorker you are with a brief personality quiz. For the people who visit NYCvisit, this is an especially great idea, since many of them will be in slower-paced Methodical or Humanistic modes.
Sure, NYCvisit.com has its problems, but which site doesn't? They're helpful without being heavy-handed, and instead of stereotyping their visitors, they're at least kind enough to help us stereotype ourselves.
So, what type of New Yorker are you?
[*The only problem here is that the links go to .pdf downloads, which would probably be better kept online. That way, they could not only link visitors to the restaurants and events, but they could give them the option to download instead of just assuming that they'd want to. Whatever their reasons, a lot of folks are still wary about downloading from sites they haven't been to before.]
yes, you're right. what are we doing when it come to broader options? there's where a good site comes in place. at last but not the least there is a 'leading' idea that pushes us forward in choosing the right spot.

Who Is Your Mainstream Finance Guru?
by Smart Living 22 Reactions 0 Shares Print
When it comes to financial advice I primarily rely on my own common sense and experience, a select group of trusted websites, news sources, experts and finance books. It's rare I have time to tune in to TV host and financial advisor Suze Orman or markets commentator Jim Cramer, but both have a mass of loyal followers. Who do you consider your mainstream finance guru?
sugoionna09 5 years
I tend to read a lot of personal finance blog and then if I'm really feeling financially nervous I'll watch Suze. Despite her cheesiness and that sort of creepy smile I appreciate her advice.

Myself. :)
Brenna620 5 years
Absolutely Dave Ramsey. Simple, straightforward, makes no bones about what you need to do to lose debt and build wealth - even if it's not what you want to hear. Only recently heard much about Orman, visited her website out of curiosity and she REALLY focuses on your FICO score. That's not all there is to a solid financial life!

Dave Ramsey, but I'm not a rabid follower, I think he has good, simple, advice. I really can't stand Suze Orman.
Spectra 5 years
I find Suze Orman entertaining, but I probably wouldn't follow most of her advice because a lot of it doesn't pertain to me. She's all about the FICO scores and I don't think you should base your whole financial portfolio around having a super FICO score. It's important if you are looking to get a mortgage or a car loan soon, but if you aren't looking to take out a huge loan soon, you don't need to be super hyper about your FICO score. I tend to just use common sense when it comes to money and I figure if you live within your means, you're probably doing fine.
Dhorwich 5 years
The ladies I work with are big fans of Suze Orman so I've looked into her recommendations which I believe are solid. I work at an asset management company so the variety of views on how to handle money are vast and infinite. There is no one right way to do things so listening to a lot of voices can be good - if it doesn't become too cofusing and conflicting.

About Don Phillips & Barb Pohlman
Don, Judi, Ron and I are now the owners of 2 homes in Branson Canyon: Elegant Quiet Cottage, and now (Nov 2012), the brand new owners of Woodland Haven.
Many years ago, the four of us had a wonderful dream of creating a 'partnership' as vacation home owners. A couple of years ago, we visited Branson Canyon and stayed in one of their 6 Bedroom homes with about 21 of us. We just LOVED it! Not only did we enjoy Branson and all it has to offer, but we also had a blast on Table Rock Lake...jet skiing, tubing, and cruising the lake in an awesome tritoon we rented from the State Park Marina (just 5 miles from our home).
Our dream came alive in 2010 with our first purchase, and now in 2012, with our second purchase of Woodland Haven.
God has blessed us with families that make our vacation time together 'over the top!!' Together our families consist of 12 children and 13 grandchildren, so Branson Canyon and the Branson area is ideal for us.
Utilizing our partnership, along with some of the BEST guests anyone could ask for, has truly turned our dream into a reality. We thank God for his guidance and pray our homes bless all those who enter with memories that last a lifetime.
Don Phillips & Barb Pohlman purchased this house in 2012
Why Don Phillips & Barb Pohlman chose Branson
Woodland Haven is great for any type of getaway--large or small. Shopping, fun and relaxation, reunions--whatever you plan, with plenty of room to spare.
The gabeled dormer windows add that special charm plus offer natural lighting throughout the day. The setting is breathtaking as you drive down the hill that leads to Branson Canyon. A glimpse of Table Rock is seen in all its beauty.
Location, location, location!! Close to Branson, Branson Landing, Silver Dollar City, Dogwood Canyon, Table Rock Lake, Boating, Golfing, Branson Airport, Dixie Stampede, Museums, Entertainment, great Restaurants, etc. Who could ask for anything more?!!
What makes this house unique
Nesteled in a beautiful setting and community called 'Branson Canyon,' we appreciate the great care taken with all properties located here. The Clubhouse was a real showstopper for us. All our summer guests are able to enjoy the zero entry pool at the Clubhouse.
Quality construction shows with Woodland Haven. Beautiful, warm colors and quality furniture and TV's in every room helps one enjoy and make this their own 'home away from home.'

Art prints can be printed using a number of different methods. Each printing method is carefully chosen to achieve the ideal result for both artist and customer. Our printing team have carefully selected the best possible printing methods to meet these needs and to bring you the highest quality art prints at affordable prices. These printing methods are highlighted below.
Giclée printing is a fine art, digital print process. We use this method of printing because it allows us to print your single art prints one at a time to very high, 'museum quality' standards. This method also allows us to print on a variety of different print materials, including fine art paper, watercolour paper and stretched canvas. The high quality inks and top of the range precision digital printers we use for our Giclée printing, ensure that your favourite artwork is faithfully reproduced every time.
Lithographic or 'litho' printing is a print method we use when we receive a high number of orders of a single art print. Unlike other print methods, lithographic printing allows us to print large numbers of prints and still keep a consistent level of high quality. "Litho prints" is the name given to art prints printed on our fine art paper.
Silkscreen printing is a highly skilled method of reproducing artwork by hand. Firstly, the printer creates an image on a fine mesh screen using a thin coat of wax. A different screen is created for each colour that is needed for the print, making silkscreen printing more suitable for artworks with just a few colours. The screen is laid down onto the paper, and ink is hand-pulled across it using a sponge like device. The ink seeps through the mesh onto the paper leaving a print of the image. This is done one colour at a time, with the print being set aside to dry after each impression.
At Easyart we also offer other, less frequently used methods of printing. Restrike etchings are printed reproductions that are created using authentic metal plates, which are used to make official print runs of an artist's work. Coloured versions of restrike etchings are hand coloured, giving them an instantly collectable quality.
Sign up for the Easyart newsletter to take advantage of this exclusive offer and receive updates on the latest artists and collections.
Gives the frame its character and provides the perfect setting for an artwork to be fully enjoyed.
Protects the artwork from dust and wilting so that it can be admired for many years.
Adds depth to an image and works with the moulding to enhance and protect the artwork.
Bonds to the artwork ensuring it is perfectly smooth and holds the whole frame together.
We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Pattern: Basic manly sock, loosely based on the Regia freebie one
Yarn: Jojoland Melody, 2 x 50g in colour: #Y46
Needles: 2½mm circs
I am aware that it's actually halfway through February, but as these are the first of the manly socks in a box, they're going to be the January ones. These are the most basically basic of socks, and a good way to dip my toe (ha!) into the multiple-sock-pair-knitting waters.
Today is a good day for sock knitting. Firstly, because Vegan Yarn Store has finally opened, so at 9am on the dot I ordered some Panda Cotton Solid yarn for the next pair of socks. Having to wait for the yarn to arrive doesn't really help my plan to knit another pair by the end of February, so my next target is to get two pairs done by the end of March.
Secondly, I have found another vegan sock yarn to add to my list! Rico Superba Cotton Stretch which is a blend of 79% Cotton, 18% Polyamide and 3% Polyester. Ignore the fibre content on the Ravelry page; it appears that it's changed recently and needs fixing. It's available in the UK from Hulu Crafts, so that's the next pair after the Panda Cotton pair sorted.
Finally, I have found more manly sock yarn in my stash! This is what comes of listing my stash on Ravelry and then not actually looking at it..! I have some Four Seasons Hot Socks which is variegated greens and blues, so will be the April (?) socks as it will suit a plain sock and I need some patterning in my life right now.
Have a good weekend!
3 Comments on FO: January Socks
You could cast on the Four Seasons Hot Socks today since you have the yarn . . .
ALWAYS get cotton sock yarn with some elastic. Cotton gots NO memory.
They look great… I like the colour.
I like your planning and I'm glad you are sourcing acceptable yarn. I needed to start a new pair of socks last night, checked the stash, grabbed a pattern and away. Today I'll probably find a pattern and some yarn I'd have preferred to use instead but then they all have to be knit at some stage. Have a good weekend.

Is it possible to find and replace in DOS? I need to replace a single character in a file on various workstations...
Last edited by Rawns; 8th September 2010 at 10:51 AM.
It can be done but i haven't done it for a while.
There is a FIND command MS-DOS find command help, and here's a link to some help with string manipulation commands DOS - String Manipulation
i'd probably use vbscript, or even some text editors will do that sort of thing now, the advanced notepad replacement types like textedit,notepad++ i'm sure they all do advanced find and replace across multiple docs. I would search for all the files you need then open them in the text editor from the search window and do it that way.
there you go, that's probably better.
Thanks Mattix , I used the CHANGE.COM file and incorporated it nicely into a little batch file that's worked a treat.
Good to see you're sorted but for the future you might want to use FART: Find And Replace Text just because it has a wonderful name :-)
Every single aspect of the image was all DOS batch stuff. I'll shutup now as:
A: I'm quite pi55ed - [ Almost exploded today as I have had to really really bite my tongue ]
B: My Wine glass is empty
C: My tea is almost ready
For some reason most of these seem to be stuck in the genuine DOS world so I ended up writing my own util to get a job done. Lots of them would do ASCII (one byte per character) replaces, but I didn't find one that would also play nicely with the Unicode varieties e.g. some of those increasingly ubiquitous XML config files you might want to patch. IIRC I found something like eight different format varieties of what are superficially "text files".

The Chesapeake Beach Water Park Celebrates 20 Years! Our 20th Anniversary Season Promises to be our Best Ever! Story by Laura Krick, Marketing / Groups Coordinator & Marilyn VanWagner, General Manager
Our 20th Anniversary Season is in Full Swing and Proving to be Our Best Season Ever!
This summer marks the 20th Season at the Chesapeake Beach Water Park!
We celebrated our 20th Anniversary with a Hawaiian Luau, and many Chesapeake Beach residents came out to celebrate with us. Special "thank yous" to everyone who worked hard to make the evening a success. The live music and beautiful decorations added a special touch to the evening. We are looking at the possibility of making this an annual event.
We are now open seven days a week. This will continue until school opens in mid-August, and then we will be open on weekends only through Labor Day Monday. If you have a birthday or other special occasion to celebrate, consider celebrating with us! We have several party packages to choose from for your party needs, and Chesapeake Beach residents always receive our discounted rates. Please remember, Tuesdays are our Chesapeake Beach Resident Days where Town residents receive Half-Price Admission until 4 p.m., and Free Admission after 4 p.m.! This is a great time to visit with the other local Chesapeake Beach residents.
We have many other Special Events at the Water Park this season. The World's Largest Swim Lesson event in June was a great experience for the over 160 participants we had in attendance. There were lots of kids and parents present, and our goal of helping teach Swim Safety Awareness was achieved. We have had three Character Days so far this season. Our visitors included a Live Mermaid, Beautiful Princesses, and Super Heroes. Check our website for more Character Day Mondays. These are great photo opportunities.
Season Passes are still available for purchase on our website . New this season, all Season Pass holders are receiving a 20% discount on all food purchases. Our Season Pass holders also avoid standing in line at admissions. Other great benefits are Free Admission for Adult Swim as well as Friday Night Slides! If you haven't purchased your Season Pass yet, start saving now. A couple of visits to the Park will pay for your pass. All of the other added benefits are just extra bonuses!
We have had two impromptu surprise Lifeguard Safety Audits from Ellis and Associates (E&A), and we are pleased to announce that our lifeguards received the highest rating achievable in both audits. E&A trains our lead aquatics team so that they are certified to train our lifeguards. By conducting these audits, E&A can be sure that we are representing their company by meeting all of their required standards. As always, the Safety of our Guests Remains our Top Priority, and these audits help ensure that we are operating at the optimum levels in terms of safety for our guests. We have also improved the safety of our guests by opening the Side Gate for admission to help keep lines to a minimum in the parking lot. Another new adjustment this season is that we only allow groups to visit on Wednesdays and Thursdays and only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. These new hours are maintaining crowd control inside the Park and also allowing a more pleasurable and enjoyable experience for all guests. We have received positive feedback regarding the improvements and enhancements we have made to the Park this year. Despite our limited funds, the Park looks brighter, and we have been able to clean up the Park and enhance its appearance.
After 20 years, improvements are a necessity. Through the hard work of our Water Park Advisory Committee, led by Town Council Member Stewart Cumbo, we are accomplishing these changes and making good progress. In the near future, we will be reaching out to you, our Town residents, to listen to your comments and suggestions on new ways for continued developments and improvements. Your thoughts and comments are important to us, and we value your ideas.

Oyster Hatchery, Oyster Reef Balls and Annual Oyster Planting
Story by John Bacon and Photography by John Bacon and Nancy Feuerle
On July 11, the Chesapeake Beach Oyster Cultivation Society (CBOCS) became the newest oyster hatchery on the Chesapeake Bay. After weeks of trying through Maryland DNR and the Oyster Restoration Project, I was able to obtain oyster larvae from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. This allowed us to complete another step in the oyster growing cycle. We received around 5,000 larvae (less than a quarter of a teaspoon full) and introduced them into a 300 gallon tank filled with our oyster balls and MGO cages. The Chesapeake Beach Maintenance Staff was instrumental in getting the tank and associated equipment ready. The tank is located at the trail head and will be recycling Fishing Creek water through it for the next two weeks. The oyster balls and MGO cages will then be removed, and we will count the new spat on each. This process has been repeated two or three times during the summer and will continue into the early fall. Students and interested parties can observe this exciting new addition to our program.
CBOCS oyster reef ball manufacturing is now almost complete. There is only one week remaining before they will be deployed on the Old Rock Reef. To date more than 30 oyster reef balls have been molded. Don't miss out on this final opportunity to get your own autographed oyster ball placed with the others on August 23.
Come back on September 6, at 10 a.m. to load up the cages with new spat, count them and place them under the trail. Also, individuals hosting MGO cages should pick them up at this time.
For a list of all CBOCS activities go to the Chesapeake Beach Town website and click on oyster cultivation . We encourage you to be active, participating members of the society.
Chesapeake Beach Water Park – Great for the Community
Story by Connie O'Dell
The Town of Chesapeake Beach recently received results from an economic Impact study of the Chesapeake Beach Water Park. The study was conducted by BEACON, Business Economic and Community Outreach Network at Salisbury University on the Eastern Shore.
The project leader for BEACON was Dr. Memo Diriker, Professor of Business and Economic Development, Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, Salisbury, MD. The following are a few points of interest developed from the study:
The Chesapeake Beach Water Park is a very important economic development asset for the Town of Chesapeake Beach. The Park attracts a significant number of visitors who are responsible for a very high amount of primary, secondary and tertiary economic activity throughout the Town. Visitors to the Park generate $3.2 million in total economic impact for the Town and support over 150 local jobs. The Park generates "fresh" money into the Town because a large percentage of the spending is initiated by visitors to our community who are coming because of a locally manufactured product called "The Water Park."
While the Park is a great economic asset as it is, there is still much that can be done to increase its total value to the Town. With some additional repairs and upgrades, the Park could greatly increase its offerings. These upgrades would generate additional income and therefore additional economic activity for the Town.
The Park is not an attractive candidate for privatization in its current state, but with upgrades there would be the possibility of privatizing certain portions.
The Chesapeake Beach Water Park has served the Town of Chesapeake Beach admirably in the past. With a modest amount of reinvestment, the Park can be of even higher value to the Town's taxpayers in the future.
Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) Contract Award (Bruce Wahl, Mayor)
At the January (2013) Town Council Meeting, the Council approved the award of the upgrade to the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to Bearing Construction, Inc. of Sudlersville, MD, and the management of the project to the design firm Whitman, Requardt, and Associates, LLP. The total amount to be funded is $16,158,930, which includes funds allocated for administrative and legal fees. The approval of this contract award secures State grant funding of 45.34% of the total amount. The balance of $9,287,117 will be shared among the partners of the plant: Chesapeake Beach, North Beach, Calvert County and Anne Arundel County. The Town of Chesapeake Beach's share is $4,611,982.30 and will be financed through a low- interest loan from the Maryland Department of the Environment. This low- interest loan was also at risk had the Town Council not approved this contract award at the January meeting. Thankfully, that risk was averted by approval of the contract award.
Although this is a huge amount of money, we were fortunate that nine firms bid on the project, with Bearing Construction being the lowest bidder. You can rest assured that the Town is spending your money as prudently as is possible.
What is ENR? Simply stated, the purpose of this project is to reduce pollution in the treated effluent that is discharged into the Chesapeake Bay. Particularly, there is a Federal EPA requirement to meet a "Total Maximum Daily Load" (TMDL) standard of the amount of Nitrogen and Phosphorous that can be discharged. These nutrients cause algae blooms that absorb oxygen in the Bay and block sunlight from reaching submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), hence stunting the growth of these beneficial plants.
In addition to the nutrient reduction, this project replaces much aging and failing equipment; some Items have been in service for over thirty years. At the time we are doing this, the plant is being expanded from 1.32 million gallons per day (MGD) to 1.5 MGD, the capacity that is specified on our permit. This expansion was unanimously approved by an action of the Town Council in 2005 by an irrevocable resolution. Four of the 2005 Council members are still serving as elected officials in the Town: myself, Council Vice-President Patrick Mahoney, Councilman Stewart Cumbo and Councilwoman Valerie Beaudin.
The ENR project has been in the planning stages for over five years and is critically important to the future of our Town and to the health of the Chesapeake Bay. I am pleased to be able to report to you that it is finally about to happen!

text: Here We Go Again: Oscar Hopeful 'My Week with Marilyn' Slammed as Inaccurate by Christian Toto 12 Dec 2011 post a comment Share This: 'Tis the season for Oscar-bait films to get called on the carpet for their fidelity to the truth. Of course, not all films get this kind of scrutiny. "My Week with Marilyn," celebrated for its vibrant lead performance by Michelle Williams as the iconic Monroe, is currently under the microscope for not telling the whole truth. [youtube U_tbnTM7zVE nolink] It isn't the first time a film with Oscar hopes has been questioned by the media. The 2001 film "A Beautiful Mind" got the cold shoulder for scrubbing the lead character's less magnanimous side. Some argued John Nash, the inspiration behind Russell Crowe's character, was both anti-semitic and a lousy father, charges Nash denied. The chatter threatened to derail the film's Oscar chances, but it ended up winning multiple gold statuettes, including the coveted Best Picture award. Some films which could use a bit of scrutiny, though, often get little or none. Last year's "Fair Game" played fast and loose with reality regarding the Valerie Plame affair, barely mentioning the person behind the leak of the CIA agent's identity. The film ended up undeserving of awards for a very basic reason - it wasn't compelling. But few critics raised a ruckus over how the film told only one side of a rather complex story. But perhaps the most egregious recent examples of films fudging the facts came from the documentary genre. Both "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" threw some spurious charges around, and both ended up winning the Best Documentary Oscar. In the case of the former film, having a Democratic politician leading the way clearly made it unlikely that the press fact checkers would break a sweat over its charges. And the press routinely avoids giving Moore's films the thorough debunking they deserve. So remember as the conversation regarding "Marilyn" and reality rears its ugly head this week that the truth seekers don't embrace a level playing field.

good page. futuresnow down 517 merters. The rise of the Hui Culture can be attributed to an influx of migrants. These immigrants are of two categories: the first were people who fled the Central Plains during perennial wars at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. They found refuge in Huizhou in the recess of the mountains where they settled down. The second were officials who remained in the region after their tenure expired. Many of these are the ancestors of eminent families in Huizhou.

I thought this product worked really well for treating cystic acne -- even ones that already have been picked at (warning - this burns quite a bit). I've even used it as a preventative measure when I felt one that hadn't quite formed yet, and after a one or two treatments, it never did. It has a strong herbal smell, but you get used to it, and it fades after a few minutes anyway. The major downfall is that the roller ball applicator isn't very hygienic, but I always apply to clean and dry skin to help minimize contamination.
I bought this after a coworker raved about this and how she always had to have it on hand. I must say that I'm amazed at how well this product works. There are very mixed reviews on this one and some of them are not the greatest but this one works for me rather well. I have extremely sensitive skin and this did not irritate it one bit. It also did not have a drying effect. I don't care much for the smell but I'll deal with it knowing a blemish has vanished in 2 days or 3 days tops =)

This stuff works!! The rolling ball can be a problem after it made contact with something/anything. I did not repurchase though, and never will. It works great, but I'm sticking to Dessert Essence 100% Tea Tree Oil (I've put up a review for it).
Pros: Oh my gosh golly...I started having acne since the 5th grade and have never been near acne free until now! I'm on night 3 and my pimples (and were there's tons on my forehead) are almost completely flat.
Cons: The roller ball can get bacteria inside, but I do cleanse before I use this so it should be alright. The smell stings my eyes, but at least it only lasts for about 10 seconds. I would have liked it to diminish the scars a bit but oh well.
I'd buy it again because of what it does for my appearance.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love the way this works! When I have a really bad breakout, I use this as a spot treatment a couple of times a day and it's gone in no time! I even had a really bad cystic pimple I was trying to get rid of... tried this and it worked fabulously. The only things I don't like about this product are the smell and the roller ball (it allows gunk to get into the tube...yuck)
This stuff smells awful! It's my 4th evening of using it and so far I'm really not impressed. Even if I could get past the smell of licorice and medicine I'm not sure this would help anything. It burns which is normal I suppose because of the natural oils that form alcohol and the other essential oils, but all it really does for me is leave me greasy and break me out a bit more.
The roller-ball applicator is not a favorite of mine either, I pried the top off and pitched it and am using the q-tip method of application because the last thing I need on my skin is to keep spreading the same bacteria around and around my face.
I'm sure I'll keep it around for the really tough cystic blemishes, but as an everyday blemish treatment, not so much.
I pitched this stuff in the garbage. It just broke me out worse. I started using benadryl itch gel which contains camphor and almost overnight my blemishes disappeared so I'm content. Don't waste your money on this product, it's a bust.
My mom picked this up for me at Shoppers because she knows how much I love Burt's Bees and that my skin had been breaking out pretty badly for a little while. I find this product to be...Interesting, but it works pretty well!
I don't mind the medicinal smell; I find it clean - like it's going to kill all the bacteria in my problem areas, which is what you want in a spot treatment. The first few times I used it I had trouble actually getting the product out and onto my skin - I guess the roller was a little bit stuck?
After I managed to get the product onto my skin it stung a bit but I didn't mind at all because I noticed it didn't dry my skin out or make it flaky.
For some strange reason I find this isn't effective during the day (possibly because I wear makeup over it and my skin is super ridiculous) but it's great to dot on before you hop in bed! It really takes away redness and diminishes the size of the offending pimple, even if it doesn't completely get rid of it.
Over all, I find this to work pretty well, but not as well as some of the other spot treatments I've used that were cheaper. I'm sort of on the fence over whether or not I'd buy it again because it was a bit expensive and is getting used up pretty quickly, so unfortunately I'll say no on this one.
I like Burt's Bees, and I like the smell of the blemish stick. It has worked in the past but nothing miraculous. I've had two blemishes for about the past two weeks and have been applying the blemish stick religiously. Sadly it hasn't worked. I still like the product, if only for the smell, but it doesn't work very well for me. I honestly hate giving this item a bad review because I love love love Burt's Bees.
My mom picked this up for me a couple years ago when my acne was really bad. I used it but only got to like half the bottle before it got all junk-filled, so I stopped using it. After I had a few more breakouts than usual a couple weeks ago, I picked this up again since I've never really found a spot treatment I've loved. This is now my HG. I absolutely adore it. It does smell a bit medicinal-y as others say, but that doesn't bother me. Plus, once you have it on your face, you can't smell it anymore. I love that it's a liquid and is clear. This is the absolute only spot treatment I can wear under makeup that goes on smooth and doesn't make my makeup look weird or cakey in that area. I like the idea how other people take the roller ball out and dip a Q-tip into it, but I travel a lot, so I was worried about it leaking, and I didn't want to make a mess putting it into another bottle, so I use it with the roller ball. It's not the most sanitary thing, but that hasn't hindered it's performance, imo. I am extremely careful with it though. I only put it on my skin after cleansing so there's no dirt or makeup or anything that it can pick up and make the liquid all junky. It doesn't dry me out at all, which I love. I usually spread it over some trouble areas for to prevent breakouts, and that works fine. It's a little more expensive (about $8 at WalMart), but it is absolutely worth it. And even though I use this morning and night, I don't seem to be going through the bottle very fast at all. I will definitely repurchase this stuff.
I bought this before consulting makeupalley reviews, which in this case may be a good thing - the reviews here are generally low enough to keep me away. But for me (I have occasional breakouts that are more like small bumps under the skin, they almost never come to a head but can last a long time) this works great! Just a few dabs a day on any small spot, and not only does it take the swelling down very quickly, it is completely healed within a couple of days instead of 1-2 weeks. I don't mind the smell, and the applicator is great - it helps keep the treatment concentrated right on the spot, and prevents me from overtreating the whole area. Maybe this is not the best choice for moderate or severe acne, but if you have under-the-skin bumps that normally last a long time, this definitely helps get things under control quickly!
