Here we present some general advice and considerations for constructing your own wine room, based on our personal experience and research. This is a living document which is updated from time to time. The latest update was August 2013.
|Article (8/13): Considerations for Building a Wine Room
|This subject was presented at the American Wine Society annual convention in Rochester, NY, on November 12, 2011. You can view a copy of the presentation foils here, or read the detailed pages below. A shortened version of this article was published in the American Wine Society Journal, Summer 2006 edition (pp. 66-68). Bracksco owner/author Fred Brack is a Life Member of the American Wine Society and Secretary of the Triangle Chapter. Bracksco Wine Nook is a Professional Member of AWS.
This is a wonderful tutorial...thank you very much...It was well written and very detailed...My contractor starts tomorrow and now I know what we should focus on. VM, Shelton, CT (January 2010)
Here are the steps involved in building a wine room (a generic term we'll be using instead of wine cellar, which implies it is in the basement, which it may or may not be).
Before we continue, if you are building a true wine cellar (one in the below-ground area of a home) without a cooling unit, we strongly recommend you purchase Richard Gold's book on this subject, as there are some special considerations for non-mechanically cooled below-ground wine rooms that he covers and we don't. This is a useful guide for anyone planning a wine room, but he does assume you are building in the cellar area. (Purchases of Gold's book or any book via this website benefit the American Council of the Blind.)
And now, let's start with Step 1: Plan, PLAN, PLAN!

Letting employees manage their own time can be good for a company's bottom line. Here's how one firm did it.
Dmitriy Shironosov /Shutterstock
In a follow-up reflection on the overwhelming response to her article "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," Anne-Marie Slaughter wisely noted that we need a new framework for work and life.
She's right. We do need a new model that moves beyond the outdated limits of "balance" and "having it all." This approach would acknowledge the radical transformation that's taken place at work and in our lives over the past two decades, offer greater flexibility and creativity to manage our responsibilities on and off the job, and deal with the lack of child care, eldercare, and paid family leave.
The good news is that a new, flexible work/life framework already exists in a growing number of organizations. In fact, it's an open secret waiting to be scaled. But the challenge is how to get more organizations to try.
For the past six years, my company has worked with BDO USA, a professional services firm with 40 offices and 2500 employees across the U.S., to create and implement their award-winning work+life flexibility strategy, BDO Flex. The success of this program shows how a new approach to work and life can be tailored to the needs of a business and its people. It also shows how to avoid the common mistakes that turn well-intentioned policies into feel-good window dressing.
Here are 10 ways to avoid the common traps and adopt a new, more flexible framework:
Make the goal work+life "fit," not balance. One of the first steps in the BDO Flex process was to update the language. How do you describe what individuals want to achieve with flexibility so that it reflects the realities of a professional services firm with international clients and periods every year when the workload increases? Having a consistent "balance" may be impossible, but you could manage your unique work+life fit in a way that met your needs and the needs of the firm.
Recognize that work+life fit is an issue for everyone, not just women and parents. Initially, the perception of BDO USA senior leadership was that the firm needed greater work+life flexibility primarily to attract and retain women. This is the belief in many organizations. However, when an internal survey found that the men and the single people at the firm were having more trouble managing their work and life than the women and those who were married, they quickly reset the focus of BDO Flex. Everyone needed the flexibility to manage their work+life fit.
Base work+life flexibility on an employee-employer partnership. A one-size-fits-all policy or program administered unilaterally from the top-down by a manager or HR will have limited success. From the beginning, it was clear that for BDO Flex to succeed, leaders, managers, employees and HR would all play a role in an active partnership that created flexible work solutions based on the unique needs of a particular business line and its people.
Make the supporting business case as broad as possible: In too many companies, the "why" supporting greater work+life flexibility is a one-legged stool: attract and retain talent, usually women. That was the initial business case for BDO Flex as well. However, it quickly became clear that the same work flexibility (e.g., telecommuting, flexible hours, job flexibility, etc.) used to retain their people also helped the company do the following:
- Stay open in bad weather
- Extend administrative coverage for the professional staff by flexibly coordinating schedules without increasing overtime
- Staff projects more effectively and with lower burnout
- Reduce the amount of office space
- Seed satellite offices in new markets with low overhead
As the business case broadened to include all of the benefits of a strategic, flexible approach to work and life, it made the case for BDO Flex as a business imperative even stronger.
In order to increase buy-in and understanding, create a vision of work+life flexibility that's shared. In many organizations, a small group of people will painstakingly write a flexible work policy in isolation. Then they will communicate it company-wide and wonder why no one uses it. It's because no one buys into or understands what the policy is trying to accomplish.
At BDO USA, over half the employees spent a number of months in various venues working together to develop a vision that articulated a clear "why" for BDO Flex. This vision continues to guide the strategy today.
Make the business line directly responsible for work+life flexibility, with HR serving as coach and facilitator. In most organizations, HR is the primary owner of work/life flexibility. What that does is separate flexibility from the day-to-day operation of the business. At BDO,, the leaders and people in business are responsible for BDO Flex. From the beginning, it was positioned as a way to help them work better and smarter.

Finding a job after the military

Finding a job after the military
|Wed, 01-16-2013 - 8:38am
For those who have left the service, how hard was it for you or your husband to find a job? I'm expecting the job hunt to be slow going. Any tips, resources, and advice would be appreciated. TIA!
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 3:31pm
My dh sent out a TON of resumes when he retired. He followed all the tips in the resume guides when it talked about following up. His best advice, start sending out resumes early (about 30-45 days before discharge). Do not tie yourself into one location. You cannot plan to "go home" because sometimes there are no jobs to be had. We searched all 50 states, and ended up with a great job here in Illinois. 5 hours from his family and a 2 day drive from mine, but the pay is good and so are the benefits. Plus, he loves what he does and is happy which is important. Be prepared for people not understanding how your military skills can help you. Many employers see the training as helpful and that you will be disciplined an used to structure, but many more just don't see how "fighting wars" will be an asset in their company.

Finding Lost Apples
About a week ago I discovered an Apple tree hidden in the garden. There was a huge overgrown climbing Rose next to it and I'd missed the Apples that were up high until recently. After cutting down the rose, I could get to the Apples. I'm pretty sure that the Apples are an eating variety but they do taste a little sharp. I asked the previous owner what variety the Apples were but she couldn't even remember planting it. So I'm still none the wiser. If anyone can name the variety, please let me know.
The Apple tree is planted right next to a Crab Apple tree. Infact, it's so close that it looks like they were planted in the same hole. Sometimes people to do this to ensure good pollination but it's a bit messy for my 'neat freak' tastes. There is another Crab Apple in the garden in a different location so I might try to remove the one that's close to the Apple later on.
While I was harvesting the Apples a woman came over who works in a building opposite. She said she had seen me in the garden and was itching to come and talk to me about what I was going to do with the garden. She said she had looked at the garden for many years and felt sad that no-one was looking after it. Then a whirlwind of activity started and things began to happen. She was a fruit grower too and she suggested growing Asian Pears as apparently they do very well in Oregon. And she also suggested that I buy some seed from The Territorial Seed Company. She said they are a nice family-owned business. So I'll be checking them out. Nothing like a recommendation to spur me on to buy seed!
I just love the way that gardening brings people together. I actually prefer being in my front garden than the back garden right now because every time I'm out there someone will stop and talk to me. And I always learn something, be it a tip on how to look after something or just a name to a nameless plant.

I've had the idea of triangular tartan stuck in my head for a few weeks, so I thought I'd test out how it looks.
I suppose it's not too dissimilar to the diamond pattern on a golf jumper, but with a bit more detail and the addition of horizontal lines in the pattern. I quite like the end result, so I'll keep refining the idea.

Noroziroshan, Alireza (2009) Development of Genetic Algorithm Procedure for Sequencing Problem in Mixed-Model Assembly Lines. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
One of the most important issues for manufacturing systems is to determine the optimal job sequence over the production period. Mixed model assembly line is a kind of manufacturing systems which is able to deal with variable market demand. In this research, an effective utilization of mixed-model assembly line is considered as problem statement through implementing different production strategies. The problem under study contains set of mixed-model assembly line where finding the optimal job sequence based on different production strategies is the objective of this research. Different production strategies have different objectives to be met, meanwhile the sequence of jobs can be varied based on different production strategies. The main contribution of the study was implementing four production strategies in mixed-model assembly line problems, so the company can take advantage of proposed production model in different situations to meet the challenges. The first production strategy aims to minimize the make span of assembly lines and release the products to the market as soon as possible. The second production strategies attempts to minimize the make-span, and also balancing the assembly lines. It helps to balance the workload among all assembly lines. Minimizing the variation of completion time is also considered as third production strategy. The last production strategy aims to provide ideal status for assembly lines by minimizing the make-span and variation of completion time, and balancing the assembly lines. Due to NP-hard nature of sequencing problem in mixed model assembly line, a genetic algorithm is applied to cope with problem complexity and obtain a near optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time. All data is taken from literature and the result obtained from genetic algorithm procedure for the first production strategy is compared to study mentioned in literature which represents an improvement of 5% in shortening the make-span for one set of product. For the rest of production strategies, simulated annealing algorithm is applied to check the well performance of proposed genetic algorithm through reaching the same solutions for each production strategy. In all production strategies both GA and SA reaches to the same job sequence and same value of objective functions. It confirms that the proposed genetic algorithm procedure is able to tackle the problem complexity and reach to optimal solutions in different production strategies.

Re: Best Buy ADH Accidental Damage & Handeling Protection Plan
Why not just add an electronics plan to your Home Owners/Renters insurance. I added it to mine and its only like 5 bucks a month and full replacement value of the component when purchased. I havent had to use it yet but some of my friends have and they got their checks pretty fast.

Re: Best Buy ADH Accidental Damage & Handeling Protection Plan
Well I bought a laptop from BB back in 1/20/07.
Heres the rundown from my reciept:
$749.99 Gateway mt6707 (2 gb memory, 120 gb hd, 32 bit vista home, dvd/cdrw, b/g wireless, no webcam)
$6.00 California Recycling Fee
$229.99 2 year $600-$800 ADH NTBk psp
$49.99 Notebook Cooling Pad
$70.00 8.25% tax
$1,105.97 Total
The reason I bought the plan was because the fine sales girl and her bouncy tight , were distracting me and I kept agreeing to everything she was selling me.
Anyway back around December last year it started to be really slow, it took 10 minutes just to start and opening IE was getting to be a pain.
I remembered I had the ADH, I reread the fine print, I discovered it only covers the computer if it dies on me, it doesn't cover software issues. I called BB and they told me the same thing, I told them my computer was slow, the lady on the phone was trying to sell me a computer diagnostic and repair package for $120!! Man, they just want my money, I told her NO! I called Gateway and they wouldn't help me because the warranty only covers 1 year and they wanted to charge me $49.99 to talk to helpdesk. I told them HELL NO!! I couldn't even understand "Billy", he claimed to be from Arkansas ( I asked where they were at). I think he was from India, because he sounds like the Indian store owner down my block, he kept saying, "I see, How may I help you, No problem, my friend". Plus he didn't know what he was doing, kept putting me on hold and referred to his manager.
I looked online about the BB ADH I bought and found a mountain of complaints. Ranging from BB/Geek Squak Managers obnoxiously treating customers, to implying that customers purposely broke the computer to get a replacement computer. The warranty does not cover an "ACT OF GOD"
Well, 2 weeks ago, I had my laptop on my dining table plugged in to a wall socket. My Dog was running around and got caught on the power cable, sending my laptop flying like a frissbee at full speed, crashing on my tiled kitchen floor. It broke, the monitor hinge came loose, cracked screen, the cd tray came out, the keys went flying, and the hard drive popped out.
I took it to BB the next day 1/17/09, waited and stood in line for 1 hour!!! I went to the Geek squad counter with my reciept, the manager looked it over, and SMIRKED! like I did it on purpose, because the warranty on the ADH was going to expire in 3 days!!! He said he would have to send it to a diagnostic repair center to see if they could repair it, and he tried to sell me a $90 Data Recovery Service to recover my files if my hard drive was retrievable. I told him NO, because I back up all my files, music, and pictures on a 500 gig external usb hard drive. He gave me a case number, told me to call in 2 days to see the status, and he even gave me a website so I could check the progress of my "REPAIR" online - yeah right.
So I waited for 2 days, called BB, the manager wasn't there, and no one could help me because he was handling my case, because it was a special case. I'm thinking, "what so special about my laptop"? I also check the website and it said, "In transit", what the hell does that mean, the repair center didn't get it yet? Well finally, I called 4 days later, and lo and behold, its the manager, he checks my file and puts me on hold. I'm thinking to myself, "he'll probably tell me it was an ACT of God, or I did it on purpose and its not covered". The manager says, " the diagnostic center has concluded that the computer is irrepairable and you can head down to BB and pick out a same or comporably priced laptop".
Yahooooooooo!! I went to BB and immediately looked for a laptop that had the same $749.99 price of my original laptop. I found one, a sony VAIO NS series with webcam, 4 gig memory, 64bit Vista Home Premium, dvd/dvd-rw, a/b/g/n wireless, 350 gig hd.
When I pointed it out to the Manager he looked like he was about to have a heart attack , the laptop was priced $899 the previous week and it was on sale the day I came in. He went back to the stock room, got my laptop, entered register and on the reciept it said $749.99 VAIO NS laptop and next to it - PAID ADH PSP PLAN REPLACEMENT!!!
I walked out of there without paying a single penny, YEAH, STICK IT TO BB!! The warranty has been fullfiled with a replacement laptop, thank god I didn't have to go through an arduous repair and replacement process. I love my laptop.

Suite Detail
Retha's RoseReserve Compare
Named for Bill's mom, Retha, and Rose "Cimarron" Dunn, the sweetheart of George "Bittercreek" Newcomb who rode with The Wild Bunch. This is the twin of Mikes Mansion: it is decorated in a country cottage style. There is an apple theme that is just borderline overwhelming but done in a tastefully excessive way! There are two separate rooms: one with a double bed and the other with a day bed. The living quarters has a futon. The unit sleeps 5 people total. It is quaint… which is a nice way of saying it is small. It was meant to sleep a small family or a group of girlfriends. If we get booked, and it's the only room left, it might sleep 5 large men for a bachelor party!! (miss you guys!) The Kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of dishes, towels, pots & pans, coffee pot, hotplate, microwave, and icebox. The bathroom has a shower with tub and all the linens you will need: except for river towels which we hope you will bring with you. You will love this cottage!

(Updated as of 10/19/11)
The Chainlink was started in August 2008 by Leah Neaderthal as a place for Chicagoland bikers of all types to connect, find rides and routes, and share information. The Chainlink was created because even though Chicago is a big biking city, our community was fragmented, and there was no one resource that served the needs of bikers.
Our hope is that this site will allow bikers in Chicago and the region to connect with each other, explore the area through interesting rides and routes, find the resources they need, and most of all, bring a sense of community to Chicagoland biking. So join a ride, start a conversation on the forum or find a riding buddy - everything you do here will strengthen Chicagoland's biking community (we are now 7,300+ strong and webhits totalled 49,500+ hits a month summer of 2011)
The chainlink is very much a work in progress and we absolutely welcome your feedback. Please feel free to drop me a note with any comments and suggestions - you'll be helping the chainlink grow and better serve the community.
Thanks for being a part of biking in Chicago!

WASHINGTON - "Faith, family and facial hair" may be a rule to live by for A&E's hit TV show, "Duck Dynasty," but Sen. Ted Cruz said during his more than 15-hour filibuster that it is similar to his push to defund Obamacare.
"I want to point out to the junior senator from Utah: if we continue doing this long enough, we may have facial hair on the floor of the Senate. That's all right," Cruz said while rambling off quotes from the reality TV show.
Quotes from "Duck Dynasty" were part of the Cruz's filibuster aiming to delay a must-pass spending bill and rally against Obamacare. After 6 a.m. Wednesday, Cruz and his allies had spoken for more than 15 1/2 hours, the sixth longest since precise record-keeping began in 1900.
Also during his time on the floor, he read Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" to his daughters back home in Texas.
"When Americans tried it, they discovered they did not like green eggs and ham and they did not like Obamacare either," Cruz said. "They did not like Obamacare in a box, with a fox, in a house or with a mouse. It is not working."
Cruz incorporated social media as he read off tweets using the hashtags "#MakeDCListen" and "#DefundObamacareBecause."
One particular tweet summed up Obamacare in six words, Cruz said.
"Ain't nobody go time for that."

With apologies to William Shakespeare, just "being" is not enough to drive success in today's competitive world. Success requires much more than just "being". It requires one to take risks. But, what holds you back from taking risks and moving your career to the next level?
Read More
Did you commit to taking your career to the next level this year? If so, can you honestly say that you have integrated any new leadership skills into your daily routine to the point where they have become second nature? If you have not, now is the time to take action so you can meet your personal and professional goals this quarter and this year.
One of my favorite ways to stay in shape and manage the stress of work and life is to use my weekends to explore the multitude of mountain biking trails within a few hours drive of my home. Not only is it great exercise, it's great fun, it allows me to visit new places, and it gets me where I love to be – outdoors.
Is one of your organizational problems retaining motivated employees? Did you know you can reduce turnover and help employees stay more engaged by acting like a Yogi? I am not suggesting you sit on a mountainside burning incense and chanting a mantra, but recent research has proven developing the attitude of mindfulness could create tangible business benefits for your organization.
When you read the title to this blog you probably said to yourself, "This guy is nuts! Since when is quitting a quality of a great leader?" Well, read on and see if you don't agree with me.
We all play the victim from time to time, but when it becomes a deeply ingrained behavioral habit and becomes our modus operandi, then it can obviously impact not only our own personal success, but the success of our team. So, when you can find ways to eliminate or, at least, reduce victim behavior on your team, you will likely experience more productive team meetings, less team conflict, and greater collaboration.
As I was staring at a blank computer screen today trying to write my fourth blog on accountability, my mind began to wander. I soon found myself recalling one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.
We have all sat through "that meeting:" the meeting where a high stakes decision must be made, the leader is soliciting input on what should be done, and yet, he is not fully listening to or understanding the concerns and suggestions being raised. Emotions run high, the meeting runs long and a great deal is said, but nothing new is decided. In the end, the leader goes ahead with the plan he already had in mind and the meeting participants feel frustrated and "unheard."
My client was apparently already planning their fireworks celebration. "We want to be ranked as one of the top 100 best companies to work for," he exclaimed. "The top 100 get all that great publicity and are affiliated with business powerhouses like Qualcomm, SAS, and The Four Seasons Hotel & Resorts. We would be crazy not to go for it! We already have many initiatives focused on our employees, so how hard could it be? We're going to go for it this year!" Oh, I hated to be the rain on his fireworks. "Hold on a minute!" I said, ready to duck. "Maybe you don't need to be on the list. In fact, maybe you shouldn't be on the list."
"Be the one that when you walk in the room, luck shifts to the one who needs it." That's a quote from Rumi, my favorite 12th century poet. Have you ever known anyone like that? Someone who just left you feeling better when they were around; like things were just going your way? Have you ever been that person? Maybe you're asking yourself, "What does this have to do with leadership?" The answer is simple; everything. It has everything to do with leadership.

"You can have lobster flown in from Maine, or a shirt from L.L. Bean. Can you have a bottle of wine? No!" says Fort Worth attorney and Star-Telegram wine writer Sterling Steves, who filed the suit along with the Houston law firm of Cotham, Harwell & Evans. The suit argues that the Commerce Clause gives Congress, not state officials, the right to regulate interstate commerce. But that hasn't mattered much until now. Powerful state liquor wholesalers, fearing the slightest competitive chink in their state-sanctioned distribution systems (put in place after passage of the 21st Amendment, which repealed prohibition to thwart mob control), have valiantly fought to keep the ban in place.
And while 20 states and the District of Columbia permit direct consumer wine shipments in some form, 23 states -- including Texas -- forbid it outright. In seven additional states, sending a Chardonnay to Uncle Kermit from out-of-state is a felony. In fact, in its last session, the Texas legislature considered a wholesaler-backed measure that would have made those who dared ship a bottle of cab to a Texas consumer eligible for jail time. The bill, however, failed. Then, earlier this month, the U.S. House passed what it dubbed the "21st Amendment Enforcement Act," a move that brings the jaws of the federal government to bear on hapless wine bandits, allowing states such as Texas to use the federal courts to prosecute them. This led The Wall Street Journal to warn in an August 12 editorial that such Congressional meddling, if signed into law, would run afoul of the Constitution, but the paper added that it may provide the vehicle for what is really needed: a legal challenge from some affected wine producer or wine geek. Enter Steves and company. Their suit will be decided by Judge Melinda Harmon in U.S. District Court in Houston. And Steves says he and his cohorts fully intend to ship their case all the way to the Supreme Court and let the corks fall where they may.

The Department of Education acknowledges the important role that the arts play in preparing students to participate effectively as global citizens of the 21st century. Effective arts education is an integral part of a balanced school curriculum.
The Melbourne Declaration Educational Goals for Young Australians, 2008, reiterates the continued status of the arts in future curriculum provision. It acknowledges that the arts contribute to understanding "the spiritual, moral and aesthetic dimensions of life; and open up new ways of thinking."
In January 2011 a new review of research was released by the Australian council for Educational Research, The Arts and Australian Education: Realising potential by University of Sydney academic Professor Robyn Ewing. This international research highlights students whose learning is embedded in the Arts achieve better grades and overall test scores, are less likely to leave school early, rarely report boredom and have more positive self concept than those students who are deprived of arts experiences.
The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, ACARA, is responsible for the development of the Australian Curriculum and is guided by The Melbourne Declaration and relevant research into arts education. ACARA anticipates the Australian Curriculum: The Arts Foundation to Year 10 will be published in late July 2013.

But.... I thought Tebow was the problem.

Because they lost. Not much to talk about -- some of us have been watching football long enough to understand this game will break your heart. You take your losses, you take your wins.
Everybody loses. Everybody is capable of losing. Not everybody is capable of winning, and certainly not winning more than they lose.
But more specifically, I thought the first Patriots game was winnable, and turnovers turned the tide. I thought Buffalo was a classic meltdown where the QB becomes an interception machine (it happens to every quarterback, sometimes even later in their careers). And I thought in the KC game Tebow was absolutely frozen, afraid to pull the trigger because he knew they were playing a team that would not score much. He thought he could just hold serve the whole game and win it at the end -- and Elway was right in his diagnosis. Tebow was not "pulling the trigger" in that game. He was tight, causing him to not throw it or throw it late. He fixed that in the Pittsburgh game -- unloaded the ball with courage.
But I know what you're thinking -- excuses, excuses, excuses. And they are. So why do you just ask a rhetorical question about why these games are supposedly "ignored?" They were bad games by the QB, bad games by the team, and they lost. But if you get specifics like I've outline above, you'll think "excuses." Because the only answer you'll accept is "Tebow is a horrible QB, the Broncos shouldn't have drafted him, Coach Fox shouldn't have started him, the Jets shouldn't have traded for him, the Jets shouldn't even be thinking about bringing him in, and when he eventually starts for the Jets, the Jets will be stupid to do that, instead of being a brilliant football mind like me."
All you're looking for is comfort, of confirmation that every jab you've ever taken at Tebow was justified. But unfortunately, you're going to have to hang in there and wonder for a while longer.

I'm not one to talk about politics, but that doesn't mean I don't have strong opinions. It just means I don't care to argue with people who disagree with me and don't respect my differing opinions. But you can bet I vote! Every chance I get, even if I don't like either candidate, lol. I never say "oh well, I don't like them both, so I won't vote". I read up on the issues and what they say they'll do (and ignore any and all tv attack ads) and go with whoever I think will help me and my family the most. But that's not really telling you why I vote, so, to answer your question:
I vote to express my opinion about a person or an issue (and anyone who knows me knows how much I like to express my opinions, lol). I vote because it is a right I have that not all countries have and by voting, I hope to make better the issues that matter to me.
And I vote because, if you don't vote, you can't complain if your candidate doesn't win!

Nice post Wordyone!
I have to agree with what you said, I rarely talk politics with others either as it is always such a heated subject.
Though I got my ballot example and my mail in ballot and ummm what is up with Roseanne being on the ballot? I guess since we had RR and a few other Senators/Congresspersons that were/are actors it is the norm?

NBBQA Conference BBQ Bus tour
We had a fun time going to a few restaurants here in Memphis and area.
The places we went were Germantown Commissary, Central BBQ, Whole Hog Cafe, Old School Bar-B-Q
Each of the restaurants had some decent food however overall I would have to recommend the Germantown Commissary as my favorite hands down. They also had some of the very best pies I have ever eaten. If you are in the area make sure you stop in.
Today I am off to another bunch of BBQ restaurants. I am really looking forward to them!!
One Response to "NBBQA Conference BBQ Bus tour"
Danielle, can't tell you how much I have enjoyed following you … and Mr. Happypants, on this excursion, Not that I don't enjoy your day to day posts, but I'll be a little sad when you are back in Barrie.

Been using this for several months, ever since I saw it reviewed on Lipglossiping. This stuff is fantastic. £1.96 for 200ml, no colours, no perfumes. I'm down to my last 20ml or thereabouts and am desperately trying to hunt down another bottle! I use this in conjunction with Lush Ultrabland (an extremely efficient cleanser that takes off dirt and makeup with a swipe.) UB doesn't really tackle my Urban Decay Cannonball mascara (which is awesome by the way, small brush, waterproof as hell, black black black, doesn't clump)
The Pure eye makeup remover attacks the mascara and doesn't take any prisoners (but doesn't sting) and then the UB comes in to do general cleansing and take everything else off.
I would advise using this in conjunction with another cleanser. Often the mascara comes off, 97% of it goes onto the pad, but if I'm careless there are smudges of pigment beneath my eyes. This isn't a fault of the product, I think it's just natural. Anyway, the UB removes those in a swipe, while the Pure stuff needs a bit of rubbing.
It's perfect for using on a cotton bud to remove specks of mascara or eyeliner that come astray, as it leaves no residue whatsoever.
At any price, this is an awesome product, and at £1.96 it's unbeatable! Try it, you have nothing to lose.
This is easy to find in any branch of John Lewis but not so easy in Waitrose! I was fed up of oily, stingy, ineffectual products and my quest was to find a natural effective product. Well I failed in that but I don't know why everyone doesn't use this. It is ludicrously cheap (under £3.00), it is effective, gentle and refreshing- like water in fact. It comes in a 200ml bottle which lasts about 6 months ish. It is not as natural as I would like- can't see alcohol in product list but there is a paraben - boo! I have used this for best part of a year now since the SA drew my attention to it and see absolutely no reason to use anything else. EDIT: Did I say this is easy to find? I was wrong! All the staff use this in John Lewis. There is a big run on it. Can't get it for love nor money. Have been checking for weeks. Ho hum!

West Nile Virus is a mosquito-born virus that causes encephalitis and/or meningitis, and horses are a species that is susceptible to infection. Since the outbreak of West Nile virus in 1999 there have been tens of thousands confirmed cases of horses infected in the United States and Canada.
Large stock tanks in the pasture are the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The volume of water in these tanks can range from 50 gallons to 1,500 gallons or more. Many of these tanks are filled automatically with an attached float and valve so that even though horses are drinking, the water is never completely drained. The combination of large amounts of water and automatic refill provides a premium situation to allow mosquito eggs to hatch within 48 hours of being laid.
Birds are attracted to these tanks as well; if they are infected, they can pass the West Nile Virus to mosquitoes where they breed. Because mosquitoes tend not to travel far from where they are born, it is very easy to see how a horse can be a victim of this disease.
Studies have shown that when the surface of the water is disturbed the larvae of the mosquito will swim to the bottom of the water tank. So even though a horse may be drinking, the mosquito larvae will not be removed from the tank at that time. Also, in a large tank of water, the agitation of the water created from the automatic valve is not enough to disturb or remove the larvae.
What to do
To disrupt the mosquito life cycle, it is being recommended that these large stock tanks be drained and cleaned every third day. This can be cumbersome, time consuming and a waste of water, especially in drought-affected areas. However, there are some good alternatives to large open stock tanks that will greatly reduce or eliminate mosquito breeding in your horse's source of water.
The first choice is an automatic waterer where the surface of the water is completely covered at all times, preventing mosquitoes from laying eggs. These waterers have a ball, elliptical float or disc that float when the horse pushes out of the way to access the water. The elliptical floats or discs tend to work much better for horses and small animals, as they only require a few ounces of pressure to move out of the way. Waterers that feature this type of closure generally are made of tough polyethylene plastic that can withstand a lot of abuse. As an added bonus, the covered, fully insulated plastic design also keeps the water cooler in the summer and helps prevent algae growth, which is typically seen in large open stock tanks.
The second alternative is to install an open surface, automatic waterer that has very shallow water and a quick fill valve. In this case the shallower the better, as long as the valve can replenish the water quickly. These waterers will hold as little as 2 gallons at a time and can water up to 40 horses. They are constructed out of plastic, stainless steel, or a combination of both. Due to their design they are easy to clean, and because of the shallow water the high fill valve can cause enough agitation to make it difficult for mosquitoes to use this as a breeding area.
In February 2003 the US department of Agriculture (USDA) fully licensed a WNV vaccine for horses. Although there has been some skepticism about the side effects of the vaccine, it has proven to save many. The use of an automatic waterer, covered or open, that is easy to clean and features a small amount of standing water, alone or in combination with the vaccine can greatly improve the protection from West Nile Virus.

States living abroad to elect to exclude from gross income the foreign earned income
and housing cost amounts of such individuals. This is more commonly known as the foreign earned income exclusion and housing exclusion. Treas. Reg. 1.911-7(a) sets forth the procedural rules for making a valid section 911 election. The election must be made on Form 2555 or on a comparable form, and must be filed with the income tax return or with an amended return. With respect to the timing of the election, Treas. Reg. 1.911-7(a)(2)(i) provides that a valid section 911 election must be made:
- With an income tax return that is timely filed (including any extensions of time
to file);
- With a later return filed within the period prescribed in section 6511(a)
amending a timely filed income tax return;
- With an original return filed within one year after the due date of the return
(determined without regard to any extension of time to file); or
- With an income tax return filed after the period described in the above paragraphs provided
- The taxpayer owes no federal income tax after taking into account the
exclusion and files Form 1040 with Form 2555 or a comparable form
attached either before or after the Internal Revenue Service discovers that
the taxpayer failed to elect the exclusion; or
- The taxpayer owes federal income tax after taking into account the
exclusion and files Form 1040 with Form 2555 or a comparable form
attached before the Internal Revenue Service discovers that the taxpayer
failed to elect the exclusion.
- The taxpayer owes no federal income tax after taking into account the
Thus, it is of great importance that if you have unfiled returns or late returns that you file your past due tax returns and claim the foreign earned income exclusion (Section 911 election) on Form 2555 before the IRS discovers that you have failed to elect the exclusion.

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Defeat Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
"No," said Two again, "no, I'm afraid we mustn't express undue interest. We may not listen and we will not tell Sarima what we hear."
In the end, Elphaba left them, drooping. (18.104.22.168-69)
Elphaba does a total Charlie Brown walk of shame here after Sarima's sisters refuse to listen to her. In many ways, Elphaba spends her entire adult life failing to get others to listen to her.
"Everything is undocumented," said the Wizard, "but I believe Sarima and her sisters are all dead."
The Witch's breath caught in her chest. The last hopes of forgiveness gone! (5.4.41-42)
The Witch's reaction here is really telling in its selfishness. Though she's obviously distraught over Sarima's death, her first thought is how that death affects her, now that Sarima is no longer around to forgive her.
Her first true motherly feelings were of incompetence and of being blithely ignored as inconsequential. She could not understand how the human race had ever managed to develop past a single generation. (220.127.116.11)
Elphaba's thoughts on difficult teenagers are pretty hilarious. In a way, this is actually a victory for Elphaba, since part of being a mother is being ignored.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Montana authorities say preliminary autopsy results show four adults whose bodies were found in a burned-out mobile home died of smoke inhalation.
Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike Linder on Friday identified the victims as 25-year-old Donavon Fogle, 28-year-old Troy Saylor, 25-year-old Brandi Hansen Moats and 33-year-old Amber Marie Beyers. All four were from Billings.
Two men arrested Thursday night in the case face charges of negligent homicide and felony arson, although few details have been released on what happened.
Zaccary John Kern and Robert Eric Bottenhagen, both 21 and from Billings, are being held at the Yellowstone County Jail.

Eric Clapton and Robert Plant are among the artists set to perform at the upcoming Celebration of Bert Jansch, to be held at London's Royal Festival Hall December 3.
Jansch, guitarist for the Brit folkers Pentangle, died in 2011. The event will benefit the foundation honoring his name, which aims to "sustain the creativity associated with Bert Jansch and his music by helping in the education and promotion of future generations of acoustic musicians."
The Festival Hall hosted Pentangle's first major performance in 1967, and the group recorded part of their album Sweet Child there in 1968.
The event also features surviving Pentangle members Terry Cox, Jacqui McShee and Danny Thompson, along with Bernard Butler, Mara Carlyle, Martin Carthy, Bonnie Dobson, Donovan, Gordon Giltrap, Roy Harper, Wizz Jones, Lisa Knapp, Beverley Martyn, Ralph McTell, Martin Simpson and Paul Wassif.

As a baptised and once again practising Orthodox Christian (Slavic variant), I am deeply grateful for the observations – and dare I say – teachings of the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject of the veneration of icons, so misunderstood in the West. As it happens, tomorrow, Sunday, I will be attending an early morning service (Book of Common Prayer style) in the lovely old stone Anglican church of St George of the Pines here in Banff town, in the Canadian Rockies. It is the closest I can come to to an Orthodox Liturgy, and I shall look with new interest on the images, such as they are, mainly in the windows, as "harmonics of the future form" of Creation, as Rowan Williams put it, even though these windows have probably not been blessed with prayer and incense to transform them from pictures into icons. (There is a whole Liturgy of the blessing of icons in the Orthodox Church.)
Incidentally, I note that the Archbishop consistently spoke of the "painting" of icons, whereas the Slavic verb is "to write" icons. There is probably a theological importance attached to the difference, but I don't know it.
Thank you so much for these posts.

Barbra Streisand may be this year's MusiCares Person of the Year and a longtime Grammy favorite slated to perform during tonight's telecast on CBS, but that didn't curry much favor with voters in the best traditional pop vocal album category. She and three other giants of soft-pop -- Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis and Rod Stewart -- lost to mega-popular upstart Michael Bublé and his smash album Crazy Love.
That was somewhat expected, not an upset -- but Rihanna's "Only Girl (In the World") trumping Lady Gaga's "Dance in the Dark" for best dance recording wasn't entirely anticipated. Similarly, the English electro duo La Roux, who lost in that category, managed to win for best electronic/dance album, for its self-titled debut, beating out the Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, BT and Goldfrapp.
More winners: Buju Banton bested the late Gregory Issacs to win best reggae album, for Before the Dawn ... Toumani Diabaté and the late Ali Farka Touré picked up best traditional world music album, for Ali and Toumani ... much-decorated banjo virutoso Béla Fleck picked up yet another Grammy, for Throw Down Your Heart, Africa Sessions Part 2: Unreleased Tracks ... and musician/actress Tia Carrere, perhaps best known for her role in Wayne's World but also a longtime recording artist, was understandably ecstatic to win best Hawaiian music album, for Huana Ke Aloha.

Utopian colonies and the deep roots of Occupy
Last year I worked on a series of posts1 with a loose collection of bloggers, mostly from Corrente. The general theme was arguing against the "diversity of tactics" approach being introduced at numerous Occupy encampments, Occupy Oakland in particular. During this process one of our co-authors - jaspergregory - referenced "The Dark Side of the Left: Illiberal Egalitarianism in America" by Richard J. Ellis as providing a good examination of authoritarian impulses among progressives since roughly the 1830s. Read below the fold...

At least that's my sense. That in some fundamental way, during the past year the world - at least our world, by which I mean the United States - has changed. It's not so much that the United States changed overnight. It did not. It crept up on us, as each year corporate influence increased, our industrial base declined, our authoritarian tendencies grew.

|The Great Wall
|Our server sliced
our freshly cooked
|Laura, Chelsea, Lili, and Carissa
during their hike of The Great Wall
We had our lunch today at the Jade Factory. The food was still traditional, but delicious. Afterwards, the group was given some time to learn the history of Jade, tour the factory, touch some very expensive pieces, and do some shopping. Our last stop of the day was a visit to the Ming Tombs. The atmosphere at the tomb was very peaceful as well, and we were enriched with much history. As tonight is our very last night in China we concluded the trip with a farewell banquet. At the banquet gratitude was expressed to our veterans, Charlie's family, and the rest of our guests. We even were able to enjoy Peaking Duck, which is a delicacy here.
The veteran that I have been blessed to accompany on this trip is Colonel Bob Hemlinger. Mr. Hemlinger is by far the most genuine and wise man that I know. In addition to learning about his time as a Marine in China from 1947-49, and the part he played in Charlie Two-Shoes' incredible journey, I have spent this time uncovering every sweet and interesting detail about this man. Bob and I have developed a relationship so sweet that I can do nothing but thank God for allowing our paths to cross. I look forward to continuing to being a part of his life.
|Chelsea and Bob walk together to The Great Wall.
During the trip, Mr. Hemlinger has drilled the phrase, "ladies first" into my head. Whether it is entering a doorway, exiting a bus, or serving our food at every meal, he insists that I am first. If I try to do otherwise I get a glare. At first I thought the glare was intimidating, but now I see the love and kindness behind the look he gives while a grin is trying to form.
Bob and his wife Deniece have been married for 63 years. Bob was 19 when he married her, and everyone on this trip has noticed in one way or another how deeply in love he is with his wife. Bob shows off her picture and refers to her as being too beautiful for her age. Mr. Hemlinger is a retired high school football coach and social studies teacher. His knowledge and desire to learn history has opened my eyes to see all the details I have been missing for so long.
The past 10 days have been extremely rewarding. I am going to truly miss this Texan that now calls me his 5th granddaughter. Bob recently moved to North Carolina, but I pray that I get to see the man again who told me, "I entered the war a boy, but left a man."

Responding to a Recent Christianity Today Article
Posted on Oct 13 2011 in General by
This short letter by Dr. Brian Ray from the National Home Educators Research Institute addresses a recent article published in Christianity Today on educational options (including home education), and exposes some of the problems with the article and its conclusions (which included stating that religious homeschoolers are most likely to "get divorced" and least likely to "spend much time volunteering"). It is reprinted here with permission.
Our thanks to Dr. Ray for responding to this article, and for all his continued work on homeschool statistics, which are invaluable in combating misconceptions. Articles such as this one are a good reminder to us all that misconceptions about home education still exist and need addressed!
P.S. Don't forget to leave your own thoughts in the comments!
Dear Editor,
Your "Spotlight: The Lasting Effects of Your School" (Christianity Today, Aug. 29, 2011) was a dismal presentation of research. The "Religious Homeschool" category should not have been included, for three reasons. First, the sample size was tiny (less than 90 of 2,000 studied) and the researchers did not report whether they were truly "homeschooled" (e.g., for 2 vs. 9 years). Second, your presentation implied that the findings about the home educated were as dependable as the findings about the other schooling types while they were clearly not. Third, the very limited data from this study contradict 25 years of research that show adults who were home educated are typically doing as well or better than others in terms of high civic engagement, time in community service, social and emotional health, getting jobs, going on to college and doing well there academically and socially, being in positions of leadership, and having been raised by parents who are following God's prescription that parents should be the main disciplers of their children.

Celebrities just get on my nerves.
Sure, they're nice to look at (for the most part…sometimes…when they're wearing makeup), and they give a person something to read about while they're on the elliptical at the gym.
But time and again they prove themselves to be completely out of touch with real life for real people. And it's just a tad bit annoying.
In other words, they suck.
Come over to Funny Not Slutty where I'm airing my grievances over those crazy celebs, and one in particular today.
That's right. I said it. Funny Not Slutty, home of some of the funniest women on the internet. And I'm not just saying that because I have a girl crush on them.
But it helps.
One Response to "Sometimes I Can't Stand Celebrities"
I am so excited for you. And I know Jacki, if it's not out loud funny…not just LOL…it doesn't go up.

Green Nicotine Disposable Electronic Cigarette
Reg. $39.95
Green Nicotine Disposable Electronic Cigars.
Reg. $39.95
About Us
GN International Group, LLC is a Las Vegas based corporation that has been developing high quality electronic cigarettes since early 2008. Our electronic cigarettes offer a greater value than the alternative and Green Nicotine has achieved greater acceptance from the nonsmoking public due to our strict policies on eliminating access to e cigarettes by minors. We have taken the electronic cigarette concept to new heights and standards. We proudly introduce Green Nicotine E Cigarettes. Our corporation has spared no expense when it came to research, development and quality control of our product. Green Nicotine is, by far, the highest quality electronic cigarette in the world. We use only the highest quality components, and nicotine, on the market. Green Nicotine is an alternative to smoking like no other.
Most of our competitor's vapor cigarette kits are built in a well known city within China. Products from this city, especially electronic cigarettes, are known to be produced under poor quality control and are proven to be unreliable. For the most part, our competitor's kits consist of a three part smokeless electronic cigarette products consisting of battery, atomizer, and cartridge. The user is required to purchase replacement cartridges. The problem with this three piece electronic cigarette is the batteries are not reliable and, in addition to the cartridges, the atomizers ALWAYS go bad (requiring the user to purchase new ones).
Green Nicotine Electronic Cigarettes are a two part product consisting of battery and cartridge. Our batteries are 3 times the quality of the alternative, and each e cig replacement cartridge contains a brand new atomizer. Most of our competitors get their nicotine, and propylene glycol, in the cheapest way possible. When comparing their nicotine mixture to Green Nicotine, it is like comparing contaminated water to drinking water. Which would you rather put in your body? Furthermore, GreenNicotine does not use Propylene Glycol within its cartridges, which has been associated with antifreeze in a number of news stories. In addition, some people are allergic to Propylene Glycol. GreenNicotine has replaced Propylene Glycol with Vegetable Glycerol. Vegetable Glycerol produces larger vapor volumes in an electronic cigarette and takes away the possibility of an allergic reaction, one more reason why GreenNicotine E Cigarettes is the only choice within this industry.
GN International Group, LLC wants to create a smoke free environment by offering options for smokers to "smoke" nicotine without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash, smell, and the variety of chemicals found in traditional tobacco cigarettes. However, we are dedicated to making certain our customer receive the highest quality ingredients the electronic cigarette world has to offer. Our corporation firmly believes, when choosing an "e-cig" as an alternative, you must choose the best. GreenNicotine is that alternative. We hope you enjoy using our electronic cigarette as much as we enjoyed developing it.
For a comparison of why Green Nicotine is so far ahead of the industry regarding the manufacturing, distribution, and final product CLICK HERE!

Storm reflects on tough loss, great season
Southern Guilford's loss Friday night against two-time defending state champion and undefeated Northern Guilford may have come at no surprise to most people, but to senior running back Malik Moseley, it was sheer disappointment.
Playing in the last high school football game of his career, Moseley was expecting a better performance than the 49-14 rout handed down by Northern Guilford.
"It seemed they wanted it more than us," He said.
Moseley's performance Friday night against the Nighthawks didn't seem to be a reflection of the type of season he had. He was held under 100 yards rushing for the first time this season. The Storm's offense, which relies heavily on the run game with Moseley and sophomore Reggie Gallaspy, was turned back from moving the ball, gaining only 132 yards from scrimmage.
Moseley and Gallaspy rushed for more than 2,000 and 1,500 yards, respectively, this season.
Despite the loss, head coach Darryl Brown was able to keep an overall positive attitude.
"We had a great year, one of the best this program has ever had and we can't overlook that." Brown said.
The Storm finished with an 11-2 overall record after advancing to the third round of the NCHSAA playoffs for the first time since 1971. Southern won the Mid-Piedmont Conference title with an undefeated record of 5-0. The backfield combination of Moseley and Gallaspy was key to much of the team's success, but was held at bay by the Nighthawks.
"[Moseley] ran as hard as he ever has. Credit to them they were able to get stops on him. They were impressive." Brown said.
Moseley will finish his career with the Storm as one of the most decorated running backs in school history. He is Southern's all-time leading rusher, single-season leading rusher, and record holder for most touchdowns in a season. Moseley has not committed to play collegiate football next season, despite his interest in pursuing the next level.
"He's outstanding. He'll go down as one of the best athletes ever to come through Southern Guilford. But we should credit all of our 22 outstanding seniors. This is a group of guys that really bought in to our program and sacrificed a lot to be a member of this football team," Brown said.
Southern will lose a significant chunk of the team's talent to graduation in Moseley, quarterback Camden Ball, wide receiver/defensive back Lawrence Harrison and linebacker Stevon Davis.
Gallaspy, only a sophomore, will return next season as the presumed No. 1 running back.
"I'm proud of all 45 guys. They should all be proud." Brown said.

I quit a while after Black and White came out.I came back to the series because no other franchise gave me the same level of enjoyment that Pokemon has.
Printable View
I quit a while after Black and White came out.I came back to the series because no other franchise gave me the same level of enjoyment that Pokemon has.
I had ever quited Pokemon shortly after finishing my primary school's life, but I came back because of influences by friends in secondary school. I also learned some Japanese words (such as Japanese Pokemon names) from this franchise. (I first learned Japanese words from Japanese motorsports videos) As of these, I'm now more capable of reading Japanese texts.
I quit Pokemon for a while after High School. This was mainly because I believed people would make fun of me for playing it at my age and I didnt want that, becuase I was already made fun of a lot. I didnt know there were sites like this with people my age and older that still enjoyed Pokemon, and I had no friends and knew no one still interested in it. I still did like Pokemon though. After a while I had an urge to play Pokemon again and dug out Pokemon Gold. I continued playing the older games after that and eventually discovered this and other Pokemon sites. I dont plan on quitting again. I no longer care what anyone thinks of me playing.
I had to quit watching the anime for about 3 years when they moved it from local channel to Cartoon Network (at the time I had basic cable and CN was not part of it - eventually my family ended up getting DirecTV at the time and I picked up again - missed out on Hoenn - now my family has Dish Net, I don't care about it, I watch cartoons online).... apart from that I will never quit watching anime or playing the games.
Yes. Ten-and-something years ago there was a big boom about Pokémon and everyone was watching, collecting stickers etc. Most kids in here didn´t know about the games and somewhere about Johto League this all subsided. I didn´t have internet that time and all my friend went into puberty and thought that Pokémon is too childlish and pathetic to follow, so I somehow lost the touch with the franchise.
Last year I remembered this all and looked in google, if there are more than 251 Pokémon, I stared in awe at next three generations and fell into it again :)
I stopped keeping interest in pokemon after RSE because the time between RSE and DP felt pretty long, and the fact a new console was needed to play DP made me quit pokemon for a while. I occasionally watched the anime when I surfed the channel and it happened to air.
I came back around the release of Platinum or so. A friend lent me her game and I had fun playing it. Generation 4 really got me back on track that I found my interest in pokemon again.
The only time I deliberately quit was in the fall of 2001, during my sophomore year of high school, because I wanted people to like me. I'd never had any real friends throughout my entire public schooling experience, and the fact that I was in high school and still liked Pokémon wasn't really helping. So I made it look like I didn't care about Pokémon anymore, or any of the geeky things I liked, and my idiot classmates quickly accepted me into their fold. A few weeks later, I realized I was denying my individuality for the sake of impressing a bunch of assholes I never liked anyway, so I told them to piss off and went back to my fandom.
But then just a few months later in January 2002, I began to gravitate away from Pokémon naturally. Specifically the anime - I was getting bored with the monotony of the Jouto saga, and stopped going out of my way to catch new episodes. Plus, I was becoming a really big Simpsons fan, so I felt like my tastes in animated TV programming were maturing, and a kids' show like Pokémon didn't fit with that. That's what prompted me to create this big elaborate fanfiction project that I called "Pokémon Intensity", which was basically a grouchy, cynical, sitcom-style reimagining of the anime with swearing and sex jokes. I deliberately eschewed the adventurous tone of the anime (and actually took a lot of pot-shots at it) because I felt like my version was "right" and the anime was wrong. Amazingly, even though I got back into Pokémon in earnest in 2003 when Ruby and Sapphire came out, it took me until 2007 to finally put this fucking awful fanfic in the trash where it belonged.
I never intentionally quit, but I did naturally grow out of it around 8th grade/high school, so Silver was the last game I had played. I stopped watching the anime around the same time. Over the years I caught wind of Gen 3, but Gens 4 and 5 went right by my radar, so I was a bit overwhelmed when I found out there were over 600 Pokemon. The additional 100 added in Gen 2 had already annoyed me lol. I don't know what made me revisit Pokemon, but I picked up White back in October and really enjoyed it (new Pokemon and all). From there I played SS since I loved the original Silver so much. I have to say I'm really enjoying the new games, which is really saying something because I almost always prefer the original of anything.
The anime on the other hand, not so much. Finding out Misty left pissed me off, but finding out that Ash was still 10 broke my heart. That's not what I was expecting for the anime.
I was really into the anime when I was a kid, but I quit it the moment they changed the voice actors. It was like they were kicking my childhood in the shins by changing the voice actors.
The games, on the other hand, I tend to play for ages and then take a break because, like you said, the enjoyment wears off. But I do wind up replaying them a few months later.
Shamefully so, when I was like 12, because kids are cruel and used to bully me, but thanks to martial arts training, I got confident on myself, so I was able to go back, despite what everyone thought of it.
I never cared a whole lot what other kids thought of me --heck, when it first became popular I was the only girl in my school who even played and that made me cool for about 15 minutes. After that, eh...it's just a game, and if other people don't like it then they obviously need to find a hobby that makes them as happy as Pokemon makes me. The only time I ever quit the game was after Gen III....I hated those games. Picked it right back up when Gen IV came out :]
i didnt quit, i just stopped for a month to play some new ds games i got. i would never quit pokemon if my life depended on it. this was my childhood and is my future :D
And then when you get a bit older, everyone turns around and loves it again. I was going to murder someone when I found out the new class fad was PokeMMO. Started by the same kids that would give everyone else shit about it.
Solution was simple enough. Join the bandwagon and absolutely kill them.
Ahem. Anyways...
I have never "quit" pokemon as such. I get preoccupied with other things, but the game is always in one of my DS's, ready to be played.
I think the biggest break I took from pokemon is only for a couple of months or so, but only because another fandom had my attention.
ikr? this just started for me in my freshman year of high school :/
But that was around year 8, it must have been. So, from years 7 to about 9, Pokemon is seen as not good and if you like it, like it's face-the-other-way-you're-putting-me-off-you're-lowering-the-IQ-of-the-whole-street kind of terrible.

Iowa woman resolves lawsuit against Bachmann
Updated On: Jun 28 2013 04:22:59 PM CDT
An Iowa woman says she has resolved her lawsuit against U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann that accused the former presidential candidate's campaign of stealing an email list of home school supporters.
A lawyer for Barbara Heki, of Johnston, says the case against the Minnesota congresswoman and her senior Iowa campaign aides was dismissed Friday in Polk County District Court.
Neither Heki nor her lawyer would provide additional details on how the case was resolved.
Heki had been a longtime board member of the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators and volunteered for Bachmann's 2012 Iowa caucus campaign. Home-school advocates are an influential bloc in the GOP caucuses.
Heki claimed the campaign's Iowa chairman, Sen. Kent Sorenson of Indianola, took her personal computer without permission to access home-school information for the campaign.
Bachmann quit the race the day after finishing sixth in the January 2012 caucuses.
