The congressional budget deal that is poised to block District voters' decision to legalize pot will almost certainly not be the final word on the matter. Here are five reasons why:
1. The vast majority of D.C. residents don't want it to be: Almost seven in 10 D.C. voters backed legalization last month at the polls.
Mayor-elect Muriel E. Bowser (D) voted for it, and so did almost every member of the D.C. Council. And they did so not to make it easy for well-off, white college students to fearlessly smoke a joint.
Congressional Republicans on Tuesday picked Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah to take over the House Oversight Committee next January, succeeding term-limited Darrell Issa as the White House's chief inquisitor and—more importantly for Washington residents—the District's overseer on Capitol Hill.
Earlier this week, President Barack Obama said he supports statehood for the District of Columbia. ButFlorida Congressman John Mica believes otherwise.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A D.C. councilmember and mayoral candidate is hoping to have a word with the Republican congressman who wants to block the nation's capital from liberalizing its marijuana laws.
Councilmember David Catania says he'll be at Rep. Andy Harris' office on Friday morning to request a meeting.
Ask Congress to Refrain From Adding Social Policy Riders on DC Appropriations Bill
Today, DC Vote along with 41 other local and national organizations, delivered letters to all members of Congress urging them to oppose all efforts to undermine the District's local autonomy though the fiscal year 2015 appropriations process.
DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry issued the following statement regarding the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruling that the city must conduct an election for Attorney General in 2014.
"DC Vote is pleased that the Court affirmed that the voters of the District have the ability to expand democracy at the local level," said DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry. "We commend Paul Zukerberg and DC Appleseed for standing up to protect the will of the people," Perry said.
Today, DC Vote sent a letter to the fifty US Senators who signed a letter to the NFL about the Washington football team name, urging them to support legislation to advance DC autonomy, including a bill to grant DC statehood.
The Senators' May 22 letter to the NFL includes this passage:
Today's ruling by Judge Sullivan to stop DC's new budget autonomy law is unfortunate and disappointing.
DC Vote is proud to have joined the suit filed in DC Superior Court by the DC Council today in support of DC budget autonomy and the will of the people. DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry issued the following statement regarding the filing of the suit.

Too often, boss fights in MMOs feel like mindless tank-'n'-spanks, where the only thing standing between you and your spoils are a few mundane button routines. RaiderZ aims to change all that, by turning each encounter into a large-scale onslaught against colossal monsters. You can get a taste of the game's bone-chilling baddies in the trailer below.
To find out more about the game's grandiose premise, we asked RaiderZ product manager Tony Kim about the ins and outs of Perfect World Entertainment's next big thing. Be sure to visit the official RaiderZ website and enter to win in our RaiderZ closed beta key giveaway, then read on to see what kind of intense battles you'll be getting yourself into.
Product Manager Tony Kim: When developer MAIET first started work on RaiderZ, they envisioned an MMORPG similar to the quest mode in third-person online shooter GunZ: The Duel. So while the development team looked at other classic fantasy MMORPGs, like EverQuest or World of Warcraft, it's really online action titles like GunZ and even console games like Gears of War that really had the greatest impact on RaiderZ, in terms of design.
You can see that influence come to life in RaiderZ's more action-focused combat system. There's a lot more timing and quick thinking required when fighting mobs. Whether you're blocking an incoming attack with your shield or timing your strikes and spell attacks together, we think players won't just see the difference; they'll feel the difference when comparing RaiderZ to more traditional titles, where one can just sit back and hit their number keys to grind through the same skill rotations over and over again.
TK: Boss encounters in RaiderZ are meant to be much more complex and interactive. Imagine a boss that will pick up a party member and slam it into the ground, or perhaps a giant beast that swallows you whole if you're not careful. On the other hand, that level of interactivity works the other way, too. So a player might break off a limb from a boss, equip it, and use it to do extra damage. Part of the skills available to a player at any given time are determined by the type of weapon equipped, so equipping a boss limb often grants skills that do extra damage to bosses.
The RaiderZ team has a saying, "Hunt together or die alone." So don't expect to just humiliate the most dangerous creatures in Rendel by soloing through instances. In order to truly master most boss encounters, players will need to band together in well-coordinate groups, learning each boss's attack patterns, weaknesses, and strengths if they hope to succeed.
TK: I love all of the epic boss encounters in RaiderZ, since each monster has very different and complex attack patterns…but if I had to choose one, I would go with Diago. Players can find this beast in the snowy fields of Mt.Eda.
Diago is no walk in the park. Party members need to constantly stay on their toes, as Diago can hurl huge boulders and leap towards ranged characters with a fierce jumping pounce!
TK: Of course, the large bosses in RaiderZ wouldn't be impressive if every encounter was a grand and complex battle. Between large encounters, players can follow quest lines and hunt some of Rendel's less deadly prey in the open world.
That being said, normal mobs also feature what we call the 'part break system,' which results in mobs dropping their skin or limbs that players can use as buffs or weapons.
TK: For starters, there's RaiderZ's conquest crafting system. Weapons and armor do not drop as loot in the traditional sense. Instead, as players continue the hunt, they'll be able to craft more powerful gear from the materials they find.
We like this change because it means you'll never find yourself stuck with a rare weapon or piece of gear that you can't use. It also means that players can choose to focus on crafting gear that compliments their character build.
TK: Players will be able to progress through most of the game on their own. However, epic monsters, the sort of boss encounters we discussed earlier, will pose a formidable challenge to those who choose to solo. It is advised that players form groups in order to defeat these Epic Monsters.
TK: That's the real beauty of RaiderZ's freeform class system; players have a ton of freedom when it comes to customizing the type of character they play. There are four base classes, Defender, Berserker, Cleric, and Sorcerer. However, once a player reaches level 10, they're able to put skill points in any of the four classes, allowing them to create a variety of hybrid classes.
Want to roll a Defender that wields a one-handed Mace and shield that can tank, but also self-heal? Or a Sorcerer with lots of ranged spells, but also has a sword for some up-close melee skills? You can! And if players want to play the min/max game to build a more pure and traditional character that focuses on the more traditional MMO roles, like a tank, healer, or DPS, you can do that, too.
TK: Thank you! We encourage players to keep an eye on GamesRadar for more closed beta keys and to visit the official site for more details as the August 8 closed beta launch draws near.
Sounds as if RaiderZ, much like Tera, will offer a new kind of moment-to-moment gameplay for those sick and tired of passively killing monsters in other MMOs. We know one thing for sure: we can't wait to bludgeon a dragon with its own severed wing.

Signs and Symptoms of Cancer
Cancer often causes noticeable symptoms. The most common warning signs of cancer are:
- Change in bowel or bladder habits.
- A sore that does not heal.
- Unusual bleeding or discharge.
- Thickening or lump in the breast or any other part of the body.
- Indigestion or difficulty swallowing.
- Obvious change in a wart or mole.
- Nagging cough or hoarseness.
These symptoms are not always warning signs of cancer. They can also be caused by a much less serious condition. If any of these symptoms are present it is important to see a doctor. Only a doctor can make a diagnosis. Don't wait to feel pain; early cancer usually does not cause pain. For additional symptoms of specific cancer types, see our Cancer Types section, then click on the link to the information section of the type of cancer.

How I Met Your Mother Review: "Legendaddy"by Chris O'Hara at . Comments
After a long break, How I Met your Mother returned and served up some clarity, as Barney met his real father on "Legendaddy."
John Lithgow would not have been my first choice to play the role. In fact, I don't think he would have made my top 10. I kept seeing the Trinity Killer and half-expected Dexter Morgan to appear. That said, he and Barney had good chemistry and delivered some rather comic scenes during the fake flash back and then some more emotional ones during the family dinner.
Did Barney's friends overstep their bounds with the intervention? I mean, who were they to say Barney needed to give his father another chance? After Marshall dropped the line about how he would never speak to his dad again, though, it was sort of hard to argue with him.
I thought the interaction between Barney and Jerry was well done. It was a nice blend of comedy with some real emotion mixed in. Amazing line by Barney when he ribbed J.J. for getting into print media. Trying to rip down the basketball hoop was a bit dramatic, but the lesson Jerry taught him - Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty - was amazing in its simplicity. I recall learning that simple yet extremely helpful device myself and it has always served me well.
I felt for Barney as he stood on the hood of that car and made Jerry answer for his years of absence. The line about how a kid needs a hoop was a great way to close out the emotional episode.
While Barney was clearly the main focus of the episode, I absolutely loved the gap conversations between the others and the revelation that they had been taking it easy on Marshall ever since his father died. I empathized with Ted and his life spent mispronouncing the word "chameleon." I myself used to read the word "lingerie" phonetically and thought the stuff people bought at Victoria's Secret was the French version and pronounced as such.
And by "used to," I mean up until last year.
Marshall's line about how Lily is the one who urinates on the floor was special, but the winner was when he tried to catch Ted and Barney coddling him and claimed Phantom Menace was the best Star Wars movie.
Overall, the sitcom pulled at our heart strings yet again, but also allowed the cast to shine, playing to its strengths. A good episode with a number of solid quotes. Browse through them NOW!
once again the writers of HIMYM have demonstrated their inconsistancy and inabilty to keep a steady flow to the show. the show was a 'C' at best. it wasnt that funny, it wasnt that witty, and in fact it was rather cheesey. yes i want barney to meet his father, but it just wasnt entertaining. not to mention i cant look at john the same way- i dont think ill ever forgive him for what he did to Rita... but thats another story. there were a couple funny parts, but at the end of the show i had that feeling i have had all too often lately of not caring to remain involved with the show. i also dont know whats with these writers and their daddy issues, but is that what this entire season is about? kinda weird at this point. i guess next week will be about robins father once again wishing she was a boy? and the following week we will find out teds father hit him as a child? i mean, lets try and get back to humor, the very thing this show is based on.
@Jenna, they also call Robin 'Aunt Robin.' It's not uncommon for people with very close friends to have their children call the unrelated friends 'aunt' or 'uncle.' I spent some of the first season thinking Ted was going to marry Robin's sister, even though I didn't know if she had one or not. Narrator Ted has called all the core cast 'aunt' or 'uncle' at some point. I thought this was a great episode. I've always liked John Lithgow and it was nice to see him NOT being a super creepy serial killer.
I think you're right mike, because he calls him Uncle Barney.. If he marries Barneys sister than technically he would be there uncle.
The intervention was about him being shallow and not giving it a chance. Barney seemingly turned away from the relationship because his dad was a milk drinking, acid induced old man who is the furthest from himself in terms of personality. it was fine, though probably a little unnecessary to have an Intervention about it. I thought the gaps were a little far fetched tbh, ted not knowing how to say Chameleon? how believable is that?! Lily not being able to throw? okay a bit more believable but kinda common if you think about it. The Robin one was good though.
yeah i have thought of that Mike, and have decided to break all my dvd's in 2 if that actually ends up happening, waaaay to easy to guess- which is what Thomas and Bays want us to do....
i think the intervention went too far. it's one thing to have one for a problem, or annoying habits, but this was something personal he was going through. his dad abandoned him, he shouldn't be pressured into forgiving him
@Mike thats kind of a good point, because we do know the mother is currently a student at college, as was Barney's half sister. Another point though is, if she went to school so close (because she would have to live pretty close to attend the University Ted teaches at), how come she wouldn't arrive for such an important dinner for her dad? Questions...
Love John Lithgow. He is such a good actor! The scenes with him and NPH were leg-an-dary!!! I hope they bring him back.
You forgot to mention Robin's North Pole quip. I thought that was the best comedic line of the night! "Oh! and congratulate me because I'm the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher at Hogwarts! EXPELLIARMUS!"
Great episode. I have a theory though. Barney's dad said he has two kids, a son and a daughter. At the dinner we saw the son. Wouldn't that be something if his daughter was THE MOTHER. So the wedding Ted attends where he meets his future wife will hopefully be Barney and Robins and of course the future mother will be there because it's her half brothers wedding. I'm probably waaaaaaaaay off but that would be something?!

Photo #: 80-G-11916
Battle of the Coral Sea, May 1942
A heavy explosion on board USS Lexington (CV-2) blows an aircraft over her side, 8 May 1942. This is probably the "great explosion" from the detonation of torpedo warheads stowed in the starboard side of the hangar, aft, that took place just after the ship's Commanding Officer, Captain Frederick C. Sherman, left Lexington.
At left is the bow of USS Hammann (DD-412), which was backing away with a load of the carrier's survivors on board.

Running is a means of terrestrial locomotion allowing humans and other animals to move rapidly on foot. It is simply defined in athletics terms as a gait in which at regular points during the running cycle both feet are off the ground. This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the stance leg or legs in an inverted pendulum fashion. A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity. The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting. The ancestors of mankind developed the ability to run for long distances about four and a half million years ago, probably in order to hunt animals. Competitive running grew out of religious festivals in various areas. Records of competitive racing date back to the Tailteann Games in Ireland in 1829 BCE, while the first recorded Olympic Games took place in 776 BCE.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
An activity in which the body is propelled by moving the legs rapidly. Running is performed at a moderate to rapid pace and should be differentiated from JOGGING, which is performed at a much slower pace.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Amateur Cameron Smith shares lead at IFQ Australasia
Amateur Cameron Smith is tied with Stephen Dartnall for the first-round lead at International Final Qualifying at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne. Smith and Dartnall shot 5-under 67 to lead the chase for the three available places in the 142nd Open Championship.
At the conclusion of the 36-hole qualifying tournament, three players will earn a start at The Open.
Smith is fresh off his victory at the Australian Amateur Championship, while Dartnall, who previously did a stint on the Web.com Tour, is aiming to play in his first major championship.
Three fellow Australians sit one shot back of Smith and Dartnall, and six others sit at 3-under par to round out the top 5.

second thoughts aboit shades of green
This Friday will be our first time staying at sog. Usually stay at a Disney hotel. Please give me your thoughts. Loved it,hated it. Do you loose the "Disney "?
We stayed there in 2007 and really liked it. The rooms are very big and it was a quick walk to the Poly if we wanted to grab the monorail. The one thing we didn't like (and this may have changed from then) is that they only offered transportation to the different parks once an hour. So, if it was very crowded and there was only one bus, you had to wait for the next one in an hour! So, check into that and see how that works today. But overall, it was a great rice and big rooms and we ate there too and we liked it.
We stayed there last April and didn't care for it much. It can be a less expensive alternative, but we prefer to use the Military discount at the Disney Resorts.
For us, you do lose the Disney feel, other than one pool shaped like Mickey, there is a statue in the lobby, but that is it.
You don't want to get me started on the buses, which run about once per hour per park, if you drive you still pay to park at the parks, and you pay to park at SoG. We walked over to the Poly and used their transportation, but that did add time. I was using an ECV due to an ankle injury and needless to say the experience was horrible.
We didn't eat there, because the reviews were terrible from the SoG thread.
We won't stay there again, unless there are no other options or the room is so inexpensive that it makes a huge diference.
I saw that there is a bus that comes every twenty minutes and goes to transportation center. Either way we have a car so we will just play it by ear.
I haven't seen any indication of any improvement in the food. We didn't eat there because of that, but we have favorite places we prefer to eat at the parks. It was such a pain to get back and forth over to SoG, I didn't want to throw eating in that mix.
Just because SoG isn't for us, doesn't mean you won't have a great time and that youwon't love it, we just didn't. We also aren't in the offsite bunch either. I would rather pay more and stay in a Disney resort.
We are back. OK my opinion on SOG.....very nice hotel. Yes you do loose the Disney feel. A quick walk from the poly?? It seemed to be an eternity .....with sore feet, and necks hurting from lugging around things. Not really the thing I wanted to do after being in the Parks all day. We had problems with the front desk people a few times. When booking the room we paid for the meal plan. Which included breakfast and dinner. We payed for 3 days. And I even made sure while making reservations it was three breakfast and two dinners. They only wanted to give us 1 each. Technically the person on the phone wasn't supposed to give us the meal plan unless we were there for 4 nights. I mentioned a few times that we had already paid $100 something more. After going to front desk three times got that figured out. Oh by the way as far as our room. I don't think we could have been further away from everything. Our room number was 131. Last room on first floor next to the Mickey pool. The food we had the meal vouchers (which we got the buffet ). The food was OK. I have had much better food. Except the Collard greens. They were out of this world. Other then them and the waffels for breakfast nothing was worth mentioning. Being said other then a little bit cheaper than "Disney " hotels I wasn't sold. My body feels like I ran a Marathon.
I was kind of surprised that at the aafees store things were so expensive. Like the milk and soda different things like that.
We absolutely loved our stay at SOG and plan to stay there on our next trip. The rooms were very spacious, the queen beds were comfy, liked having 2 sinks in the bathroom. The 50s ice cream parlor was adorable and great ice cream at a fraction of the price of disney ice cream treats.
I did not find the bus schedule to be a problem. We quickly learned the schedule and liked that is was on time with military precision everytime, unlike wondering what time the disney buses will show. People were friendly and the kids were polite on the buses , unlike some of our disney bus experiences.
The first bus of morning was busy, but we always made it on, sometimes having to stand.
The food was not great at SOG but not an issue for us since we enjoyed trying the disney restaurants. We walked to the Poly and had breakfast at Kona a few morning, another morning at Ohana, hopped the monorail a few mornings for other breakfast options.
We found the resort to be very peaceful and restful after a hectic day at the parks. Best of all, we met lots of great families who are serving or have served!

MINNEAPOLIS - Target says that about 40 million credit and debit card accounts may have been affected by a data breach that occurred just as the holiday shopping season shifted into high gear.
The chain said that accounts of customers who made purchases using their cards at its U.S. stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 may have been exposed. The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit security codes located on the backs of cards.
The Minneapolis company said it immediately told authorities and financial institutions once it became aware of the breach and that it is teaming with a third-party forensics firm to investigate the matter and prevent future breaches. It. said it is putting all "appropriate resources" toward the issue.
Target Corp. advised customers to check their statements carefully. Those who suspect there has been unauthorized activity on their cards should report it to their credit card companies and call Target at 866-852-8680. Cases of identity theft can also be reported to law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission.
Target didn't say exactly how the data breach occurred, but said it had since fixed the problem and that credit card holders can continue shopping at its stores.
But news of the breach comes at the height of the holiday shopping season and threatens to scare away shoppers worried about the safety of their personal data.
Target is just the latest retailer to be hit with a data breach problem. TJX Cos., which runs stores such as T.J. Maxx and Marshall's, had a breach that began in July 2005 that exposed at least 45.7 million credit and debit cards to possible fraud. The breach wasn't detected until December 2006. In June 2009 TJX agreed to pay $9.75 million in a settlement with multiple states related to the massive data theft but stressed at the time that it firmly believed it did not violate any consumer protection or data security laws.
An even larger hack hit Sony in 2011. It had to rebuild trust among PlayStation Network gamers after hackers compromised personal information including credit card data on more than 100 million user accounts. Sony was criticized for slowness in alerting users to the breach.
"Target's first priority is preserving the trust of our guests and we have moved swiftly to address this issue, so guests can shop with confidence. We regret any inconvenience this may cause," Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement Thursday.
Target has 1,797 U.S. stores and 124 in Canada.

blowing a stranger
the last time i wrote here i told greggie (can i call you greggie?) that i would light up a cigarette - finally - after five months of abstinence. and so i did. i thought it would be an orgasmic experience but it wasn't at all. holding the cigarette between my fingers, lighting it up, putting it between my lips, sucking the poison in - those were all familiar and welcome to me. it was like putting on skin that i had shed before. but then when i dragged in the smoke into my system and i tasted it in my mouth - it was like meeting a stranger. it was such a jarring experience for someone who loves to smoke. serves me right for dropping it in the first place.anyway i smoked about four more after that because i wanted to get it back - my love affair with nicotine.but i didn't succeed. something's different. some of the magic is gone. now i can afford to go back to not smoking again. and it's so sad.

Phone with 6 mechanical clocks is perfect for a 1980s jet setter
Most smart phone have an app that lets you check the time in any city with a few keystrokes. Apparently for some jet-setting business users that's way too much work, so just for them there's the Luxor World Time phone.
This isn't the first ridiculously overpriced cellphone we've seen, but with technology that's about as cutting edge as a 2005 Motorola RAZR, the Luxor World TIme fails to make sense on just about any level.
The Luxor's key claim to greatness is that it lets you check the time in six cities instantly with six independent mechanical watch mechanisms jammed into the case. Five are set for key world business centers, while the sixth can be for wherever you and your fancy overpriced phone happen to be. The mechanisms are run from a different power source than the rest of the phone which they claim will keep them going for 10 years, at which point, using one of these phones will look a bit like using a 1980s Motorola Brick would today.
Beyond the clocks, the specs are decidedly ho-hum. There's a 240 x 320 pixel display with a media player will handle most common formats, and the phone connects with WAP GPRS EDGE or an internal modem, but no 4G. MicroSD storage is limited to 2GB, but with only a 2-MP camera that might be enough.
To justify the silly price there are plenty of less technical luxury features. The case is made from ceramic coated titanium, and the front and back displays are protected with "97 carat sapphire crystals" whatever that means. Each key is also an individually hand polished sapphire crystal
This reminds me of the time James Bond checked his Pulsar LED digital watch in Live and Let Die, wowie-zowie impressive to a kid in 1973, but just ho-hum quaint today.
The Luxor World Time from Gresso is available now for $6000.

AMC makes deal with AT&T, but still shut off by Dish
BY EMILY MORRIS Staff Reporter July 2, 2012 11:58AM
Zombies on The Walking Dead - Season 2, Episode 1 - Photo Credit: Gene Page/AMC - DSC_0111phgn_R_Ph_Gene_Page
Updated: August 4, 2012 6:17AM
The fight between Dish Network TV and AMC Networks means some fans of such shows as "The Walking Dead," "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" will have to find something else to watch.
While Dish subscribers might bemoan the loss, AT&T U-verse customers get to watch their favorite AMC shows after a last-minute deal was worked out between the two companies over "fair distribution" on Sunday, according to AT&T.
Dish Network TV has about 14 million satellite TV customers, while AT&T's U-verse has about 4 million customers.
Dish said it dropped AMC last weekend because of the special cable company's "high costs compared to their relatively low viewership," and that it notified AMC of its reasons earlier this year, the company said in a press release.
AMC said Dish cut the networks because of an "unrelated lawsuit," and that the action could not have been over ratings or rates. According to AMC, Dish has not discussed rates with the company.
The "unrelated lawsuit" refers to an ongoing feud between AMC and Dish over an alleged breach of contract. AMC subsidiary Voom HD sued Dish in 2008, seeking more than $2.5 billion in damages.
Dish is also busy working out a separate dispute with CBS, NBC and Fox over an ad-skipping feature offered to Dish subscribers that blacks out ads during recorded programs. The case, in which the broadcast companies sued Dish over its AutoHop program, is scheduled to appear in a New York court on Monday.
Trendy zombie apocalypse show "The Walking Dead" is AMC's highest rated program, according to the company. In March, the season finale of the show broke its own basic cable record with about 9 million viewers tuning in.
Dish's drop of AMC comes just before the season three preview of "The Walking Dead" this weekend and the season five premiere of "Breaking Bad" on July 15.

The peak was well formed on a sand-bar so the paddle out was easy. Drifted down to the peak and caught a couple - it took me a while to get lined up right, as the sets (it was a samll day so the set waves were worth waiting for) peaked in a different place from the normal waves.

"Not Bad, but Nothing Like a Privada"
I have had the Liga Privada #9 and the T-52. Both are among my all time favorites. The Undercrown to me was quite a big step down from those two. The lady at the cigar shop keep telling me same tobaccos, blah, blah. It just is not the same. Decent in it's own right.John in So-Cal September 24, 2013
"A new favorite!"
A truly phenomenal smoke and one that I regretted having to end. Can't recommend these highly enough.DBJ in Qatar March 26, 2013

"I make this all the time - it is so easy and delicious. If you are a beet lover you have to try this. "
"This is a very full flavored recipe for tomato soup - I am guessing the roasting of the tomatoes and garlic and onion brings out their flavor to a higher degree. Definitely worth trying."
"The blackberry/mint/iced tea combination is amazing. The bourbon blends in nicely, although we preferred it stirred in instead of floated on top. "
"This was tasty. The brandy was a bit pricey for something good, but it was main flavor in this drink so worth it. I think this would appeal more to someone who likes a bourbon or whiskey because the brandy was so dominant. All in all it would be worth a try."
"This was good, but nothing fantastic. The apple reduction sauce was very tasty, but the pork was a bit dry. We made apple sauce to go with it which was really helpful."
"This is a Very flavorful chicken soup recipe. All the spices and the additional broth, cheese and cream really step it up a few notches. Little non-traditional but tastey."
"This is a great way to make steak. I've put this on a filet and also on a ribeye. The sauce has a nice creamy and delicious Gorgonzola flavor. There is definitely enough for 2 people so make enough steak for 2 - would make a very nice special dinner for 2!"
"Wow this is like chicken soup supercharged. Really different and really YUMMY!"
"Good pie - although apple pie is hard to make bad. I had lard left over for making Ina's lobster pot pie, so I thought I would give this a try. Although it was not leaf lard, it does make a good crust. Very nice and flakey. "
"Very good - nice way to have spinach."

I can not believe the year is coming to an end soon. Wow, where has time gone? It only seems to drag by after ovulation. Share symptoms, test results and vent frustrations. Sending sticky baby vibes and baby dust to all.
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 11:20pm
Hi Ladies, So good to see everyone in here, I have had really patchy contact with the boards since the change over and not been able to get on to some and some I can get into but cant see replies.
Finally I can see replies, hopefully I'll be able to see my own comments as well.
Hi Vickie, just in case my other replies in the AVA board dont show up, thank you for your help in passing those concerns to the tech people I am using google chrome on a PC. Hope things are going well for you and this new cycle. hugs and fx.
hi Bonnie, change it up, different is good, fx for you. Hope you get your bfp soon.
Hi Kristy, So happy you have been able to log back in, we were mid conversation at the point of the change over in the boards system. Your cycle is only 2 days behind mine. I believe hope and expectation is what keeps us going on this rollercoaster ttc journey and makes it possible to keep going. Those symptoms sound really positive, Im going to be impatiently awaiting your testing! I also have vivid dreams about babies and conception too (at least with my other 2 I did), and the funny thing is my mum and sisters all had the same or a similar dream on the same night.
AFM I am going to be vicariously, stalking the testing this month as Im out this month as I have had a dud cycle with no definite O day according to my ff chart, however I didn't know about the whole cm thing so didn't record it, mind you my af was very late, very long, and very horrible and seems to be reappearing every second day. I am in cycle 6 on CD22, and currently on a 10 day course of progesterone to stop (tmi warning) bleeding and have no idea if this will affect my O, or abiltiy (if I still have any) to conceive?? Its so upsetting. Am seeing my obgyn on 5 December, hoping for some enlightening and positive info, and feeling terrified all at the same time as this will be my first appt with an obgyn ever. In the meantime I have been temping religiously every morning before I get out of bed since cd11 (Im so proud!!), and have set up a fertility friend chart. At least it will be some info for the obgyn appt on dec 5, anyhoo feelin' SOOO proactive!! even if this cycle has been the ickyist cycle in the history of cycles!
I'll be in here stalking for bfps over the next 2 weeks. (sorry this turned into a long essay)
hoping for baby dust and sticky bfps.

Hi Ava! It's so good to see you back here It took me a while to be able to get back on, too. We were right in the middle of our conversation! BFN for me last month...we'll see this month. I haven't had any new or increasing symptoms in the past few days, so I'm guessing not this month either. I'm 10 dpo--so probably too early to test. I'm thinking I'll test Friday just for kicks, unless my temp drops. You mentioned starting to chart. That's great! When I first started trying to figure out my cycles (my first son was conceived with injectibles and IUI), I read Toni Weschler's book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It correlates perfectly with Fertility Friend and is packed full of helpful information. I still refer to it occasionally and it even helped me figure out (with my charting) that I had a thyroid problem. I'd highly recommend it!
|Wed, 11-07-2012 - 6:31pm
I'm so sorry Bonnie Hopefully November will be a better month for you--maybe a turkey baby?!
|Thu, 11-08-2012 - 5:23am
Hi Kristy, I have to read that book, interestingly enough my mother has a thyroid problem. I also need to build some fertility knowledge, how embarrassing and at my age too.
I am, as usual, when there is something to deepen my obsession with the ttcjourney, finding I cannot help but constantly go onto the FF page and try to get a guage on it all. I'm so inexperienced with interpreting the data that it isn't easy for me to see what's happening, except that this is an obviously horrible, and hopefully one of a kind for a while cycle. Im just continuing to chart to attempt to build some data history into my charts for the future charts.
I will be stalking you on Friday for your test, Im guessing its a little early but you never know...fx and positive thoughts your way.
Bonnie, sorry AF showed, , I am again just hanging on waiting for her to visit me again.
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 12:52am
I already posted I am out this cycle, but as I come to terms with reality, I think I am out. period. I have decided to concentrate all our efforts into our adoption. My daughter turned 10 a few months ago, and for the last 8-9 years I have obsessed with trying to give her a sibling... well, I just turned 42, I've bascially been TTC for 17 years... and I've decided, I'm out! DONE! We will have a child grow in our hearts and not my belly. If it happens, I will be beyond happy, but I am done with the anticipation of each month, temping (Well, haven't been great at it these last two months), charting. Done. The TTC, HPTs, and BFPs have become my idols... and I'm releasing them... I have been feeling I am done for a while, just haven't verbalized it...
I sincerely hope to read much anticipated BFPs in the months to come... You ladies have been amazing... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Best wishes!!!
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 5:18am
Bonnie I don't know what to say, its hard when we cant walk in the footsteps of another to know truly how they feel, but I so understand, and hope that you are soon growing that baby in your heart equally a rainbow baby for sure.
I so hope you pop in to let us know how your doing.
Since I have been on these boards I have always seen your posts, and I will miss you.
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 7:11am
Bonnie, I wish you all the best with the adoption quest! I certainly understand the fatigue with TTC and feeling obsessive over HPT, temping, charting, etc. I have several friends who have adopted children and they have the most beautiful families! Have you finished the home study yet? I'll be thinking of you!
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 7:19am
Well...I am shaking! I got up at 4:30 when my husband left for work, took an HPT, put it in the cabinet without looking at it, and went back to sleep. I started my morning with a short devotional and read the bible verse that was SO helpful when everything came crashing down around me in my last pregnancy, Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (I've been meaning to start my day this way for a long time, but finally did today.) I washed up and then looked at the HPT. I didn't see anything at first and started to throw it away, but then noticed a very, very faint (but definitely there) second line! Oh my gosh! I am 12dpo, so I know this could a chemical pregnancy, but I am so excited and nervous...and sick with worry already! Well, I guess I'll see what the next few days hold....Blessings to everyone!
|Fri, 11-09-2012 - 9:56am
Ava, yay for charting! It's not that hard once you get the temp timing under control. Hope the progesterone fixes the bleeding issue and if this cycle isn't a success, I hope the next is all you need.
Bonnie- So sorry AF found you. I am sad to see you give up TTC but I totally understand and am trying to keep my word that this is it for me too. I know how "all comsuming" the temping, charting and hoping is. It takes away from all other aspects of life. I wish you nothing but happiness and blessings in your adoption and will still pray that you get a surprise rainbow bonus. Please don't leave us totally. We want to know how you are doing. Lot of hugs and much love to you.

I did some testing a little while ago on PTR, and concluded:
each point of Defence above 400 gives +0.15% additional (eg. incremental) IBF damage reduction.
I tested up to 596 defence and it was linear.
So at 600 you are 50% IBF, and 400 you're at baseline learnt 20%.
Test screenshots and so on here, and here. (Two posts within one thread).
Tarrke, your test results are consistent with my findings, so I think we can say it's proven fact now.
Only remaining question is whether it remains linear above 600 defence.

insole This is the third pair of these, bought from Dicks. The sale price plus free shipping made this purchase an excellent deal. I have paid hundreds of dollars on several occasions for custom podiatrist fitted insoles, and been unhappy each time. Thanks for a great product. December 15, 2014
A great cure for planta fascitis! I walked into the store limping from plantar fascitis, within days I was back on the dance floor. I now wear them every time I walk, dance, or on my feet for long periods of time. December 4, 2014
So far so good I wear these twice a week and they feel great. Happy with them December 3, 2014
Saved $$ I was going to buy a brand-new pair of shoes but instead saved myself a lot of money by buying these insoles! November 26, 2014
Great at first then started to wear out Just not worth the money if you are on your feet daily. November 12, 2014
Great for plantar facsiitis I started using this brand a few years back after developing plantar facsiitis. I am a basketball player and these have been great. the problem is gone and I generally replace these every 6 to 9 months. November 10, 2014
Great buy Great upgrade from factory insoles. Great cusioning without making shoes feel tight. November 4, 2014
love em Great product...I use software soles for my plantar heel issue November 4, 2014
Stick with the foam I got these because I thought they would be a step up from the foam insoles they also sell. They have a gel ring right under the heel that I found to be somewhat annoying, they also make a squeeking sound when you walk due to the harder plastic pieces in their construction. I will be returning them for the all-foam insoles shortly. October 28, 2014
Good Support BUT Squeaky I like the support of these insoles. They have helped add cushioning in shoes that have none, literally. My only complaint with these is that after the first couple of days wearing them, they started making weird noises as I walked. While I like them, the squeaking noises make me a bit self conscious when I'm around people. It's pretty loud... Almost like when you walk in shoes that have water in them. Needless to say, it's enough of an issue for me that I feel the need to warn others about it. October 22, 2014
