Why people hate WRX?
#27 to #24 - fivebecomesfours (09/23/2013) [-]
the trannies on a wrx are really weak, stock interior quality is iffy, they come off the line looking and sounding like straight ricer, if you want a subaru rally car you should go with an evo. The only thing worth keeping is their engine, but you'll get a 4 boxer with any subie you buy. That a better explanation?

4 bangers are alright, reliable and efficient, not so powerful though. I wanna get an engine swap to an inline 6 ): the vq35 in my car(same engine as a 350z) works, but wont handle more as I modify it. Straight pipes ftw by the way, I'd do it but I like to listen to music while I drive
#47 to #44 - fivebecomesfours (09/23/2013) [-]
and yes, I know it's an automatic, it was actually cheaper for me to buy the car and do a full tranny swap to a manual. Doing that very soon, it has a manual option on the shifter though and its actually pretty spot on to a cyntrephical clutch

I know the feel, I was hoping for a manual, but when I found my ute it was the right price, in great condition, and loved all it's life. It is a column auto, so it took some getting used to, I haven't had to do much to keep it on the road. the only reason I upgraded the exhaust was the stock 2 1/4" had developed a hole in the resonator, I didn't see much point just putting in half a system so I just went to the next size up. I'm still saving for a hard tonneau, high flow cat, and extractors, but it all takes money to do
#49 to #48 - fivebecomesfours (09/24/2013) [-]
yeah, I actually had the same problem with my stock exhaust, went over a huge rock and it tore a hole in it. Went with a stillen dual wall tips high performance exhaust.... 1,200 dollars later... I put aside a lot of money for the car though it's a project of mine.
#46 to #44 - fivebecomesfours (09/23/2013) [-]
I know the feel, mine's pretty damn loud lol. More deep than anything though.
That was before I got new cats, intakes, and a new manifold, but it still sounded great

Winsted loan: $2M
Bank of America approves deal pending voter approval
WINSTED — The Bank of America has agreed to loan the town $2 million, pending voter approval, to help the town with a cash shortfall in December and prevent any concern that the schools would be forced to close when funds ran out.
Town Manager Dale L. Martin said he received an email Thursday from a bank representative that informed him of the agreement.

Slow Cooker Chocolate Chili Recipe
Chili is the ultimate comfort food and almost a necessity for football season. Throwing everything in a crock pot is a simple way to prepare a meal. It is my favorite way to make dinner. Chili is the type of meal that warms you in the winter and even satisfies those of us on a low carb diet (minus a bread bowl of course). The jalapenos give it just enough heat, while the chocolate adds richness. It intensifies the flavors. The longer these spicy flavors marinate together, the hotter it will become. This recipe does call for a lot of heat. If you prefer your chili milder use less jalapeno peppers. Top your chili with some cheddar cheese and sour cream for a wonderful meal.
Chocolate in chili is a surprisingly common and delicious flavor combination. Dark chocolate and baking cocoa do not have the sweet flavor chocolate is typically known for. For centuries small amounts of chocolate have been used in savory dishes. Once sugar was added to chocolate we began to associate it with its sweetness. Have fun and incorporate chocolate in some of your favorite meals.
Slow Cooker Chocolate Chili Recipe
2 lbs. ground beef
2 tbsp. baking cocoa
1 oz. dark chocolate
1 large can crushed tomatoes (28 oz.)
2 cans of red kidney beans
1 green pepper
1 large can of tomato sauce (28 oz.)
1/2 cup of beef broth
12 oz. jar hot jalapenos
1 tsp. Crushed red pepper
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. Garlic
2 tbsp. Chili powder
Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream for garnish
Also optional: Crock pot liners (Once I started using them I can no longer live without them. They make clean up a breeze.)
1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium to high heat.
2. Drain.
3. Add the ground beef to a crock pot.
4. Chop the green pepper and jalapeno peppers and add to the crock pot.
5. Drain and rinse the kidney beans then add to the crock pot.
4. Add all the remaining ingredients and stir.
5. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Enjoy and sweeten the soul with chocolate!

Appliance retailer Sears, Roebuck and Co. reported net income of U.S. $378 million, or $1.76 per share, for the fourth quarter ended Jan. 1, 2005, compared with net income of $2.7 billion, or $10.84 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2003.
"Fourth quarter earnings and revenues met our expectations, with control of costs and expenses offsetting margin pressure," said Chairman and CEO Alan J. Lacy. "The year was marked by further restructuring and repositioning of our core retail business, which slowed short-term results, but positions us well for the future."
The U.S. segment reported operating income of $471 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, compared with operating income of $49 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, with the prior year period benefiting from an additional week in the fiscal quarter.
Merchandise sales and services revenues for the 2004 fourth quarter were $9.6 billion, compared with $10.2 billion in the prior year period. In the home group, sales of home appliances, particularly in cooking and laundry, were strong, with digital cameras and entertainment software also performing well in the quarter. Overall, domestic comparable store sales decreased 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Sears Canada reported revenues for the fourth quarter increased 4.0 percent to $1.6 billion. Sales declines across most major merchandise categories were offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Overall Sears Canada comparable store sales decreased 1.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004.
The company also reported full-year 2004 net income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $350 million, or $1.61 per share, compared with net income of $3.4 billion, or $11.86 per share, for 2003.
The company's 2004 full-year results include costs associated with the pending merger with Kmart Holding Corporation. The company's 2003 full-year results also included significant items, including the gain on the sale of NTB.

The plethora of spectrum bands used for LTE (Long-Term Evolution) will result in more expensive devices, and also make the ability to roam globally using the technology less likely, according to industry organization GSM Association's research arm Wireless Intelligence.
Wireless Intelligence predicts there will be 38 different spectrum frequency combinations used in LTE deployments by 2015, thanks to ongoing spectrum auctions, license renewals and reallocation initiatives across a wide range of frequency bands. That fragmentation will have several repercussions, according to Joss Gillet, senior analyst at Wireless Intelligence and author of the report. The number of combinations means economies of scale won't be as good and prices won't come down as much as they could if fewer spectrum bands were used as volumes increase, Gillet said.

Children in Families First Act of 2013 (CHIFF)
The Problem:
Every day, all over the world, more children find themselves living without families - on the streets, in orphanages, in refugee camps. By some estimates, there are over 150 million orphans in the world. But the U.S. government, through our foreign policy and programming, isn't helping turn this around.
Americans know that family is the bedrock of any society, and that children need the permanent love, care, and protection of a family to grow into healthy, productive adults. Although U.S. foreign policy in theory emphasizes preserving or creating safe, permanent families for children, through family preservation, family reunification, and family creation from domestic, kinship, or intercountry adoption, the structures and coordination aren't there to make it happen. We need new and better law.
The Solution:
CHIFF redirects some U.S. resources to focus more on ensuring that all children grow up in families and realigns certain agencies to help achieve this critical goal.
- Creates a focal point within the Department of State for vulnerable children and family security that will become the foreign policy and diplomatic hub on international child welfare. The current Office of Children's Issues, Adoption Division would be moved out of the Bureau of Consular Affairs and turned into a new, stronger Bureau in the human rights secretariat. The new Bureau would help build international capacity to implement effective child welfare systems, with particular focus on family preservation and reunification, and kinship, domestic, and intercountry adoption. While the new Bureau would remain the Central Authority on intercountry adoptions for diplomatic purposes, operational responsibilities would be transferred to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS);
- Streamlines, simplifies and consolidates responsibility for all processing of intercountry adoption cases in USCIS (except final immigrant visa processing, which remains with State); transfers adoption service provider accreditation from the Department of State to USCIS; and
- Establishes a Center of Excellence within USAID, dedicated to implementation of the 2012 National Action Plan on Children in Adversity, A Framework for International Assistance, and provides necessary authority and oversight of resources to the USAID Senior Coordinator for Children in Adversity to implement a demonstration program in target countries.
Recent Congressional Actions on CHIFF:

Catch, Catch, and Catch Some More
By Eric Vaughter
One of my pet-peeves as a GK Trainer is that GKs--of all levels--seem to have lost the art of catching the ball. I believe that this is because of a short-coming in our GK Trainers. It seems that now-a-days with the "juiced-up" ball technology, and bigger, stronger, and faster players; the GK has been told over and over...."Just keep it out of the net." While that is the primary job of the GK, I would advocate that we need to focus more attention on catching the ball--particularly from shots--in our daily training regimens for our GKs. After all, a shot on goal by the opposition is certainly a threat; but at the same time, it's an opportunity for us to regain possession of the ball. And the fact of the matter is that there is nothing like catching a well-hit shot cleanly and confidently to change the momentum of a match while at the same time disheartening the attackers from the other team.
Certainly there are the shots that any GK is content just to parry or direct around the posts or over the crossbar. The GK has to make that split-second decision. But if GK Trainer's are truly doing their jobs, then we need to spend far greater amounts of training time on catching the ball. Following are a few drills that will significantly improve your ability to catch the ball. Remember, catching is perfected like anything else in life....repetition, repetition, repetition. There are no secrets. It's just all part of good ol' fashioned hard work.
#1. Simple Volleys.
With your other GK, simply stand about 8 yards apart (the width of a full-sized goal) and volley the ball back and forth. Each GK should concentrate on a quality serve from hands to the other GK--aiming for your partner's chin and hitting the ball with fair pace to begin with. Each catch should be performed as if you are in the last ten minutes ('danger time') of a tie game. Nice, easy, relaxed body position; on the balls of your feet; knees slightly bent; leaning forward a bit and hands, arms, and most importantly elbows in front of your body's centerline. (This is crucial. If your elbows are behind your centerline, then you'll naturally be leaning back on your heels which makes cushioning the ball during the catching motion much more difficult. The less cushioning motion, the more difficult it is to take the pace of a speeding ball.) Your hands should "seek the ball". In other words, move them toward the ball, make contact with the ball using the "W" method for hand-placement, arms extended, upon contact take the pace off of the ball and absorb the velocity of the shot using your wrists and forearm muscles to guide the ball into your chest and "tuck-in" position.
You and your partner should do this exercise for between 15 and 20 minutes at the beginning of training and for about 10 to 15 minutes at the end of training. You can very your service by hitting half-volleys (drop-kicks), or serving the ball from the ground and 'clipping' it in to your partner with pace. As you both begin to get your rhythm and timing, increase the pace fo the serves so that you're getting some real training out of it, and not just "going through the motions."
#2. One-handed Catches.
This is one of my favorites. If you are not concentrating on the ball and watching the ball into your hand EVERY time, you will have trouble with this one. Serves are the same as #1. Start with simple volleys, then progress to half-volleys and served balls from ground.
Be sure to "meet" the ball with your out-stretched hand and arm, and again, absorb the serve as you "slow the ball down with your eyes". Good GKs will use their whole body to absorb the shot by flexing at their knees and waist as the ball arrives. (Be sure NOT to step backwards when doing this drill as stepping backwards during shots can lead to a horrible GK habit).
You and your partner can do this drill for about 10 minutes (5 minutes each hand), then if you have cones or coaching sticks you can set up a drill where you have to move laterally (shuffle) to catch balls served to either Right of Left. Again, even when you're moving, you need to take care to use your whole body to absorb the energy of the ball when catching.
When you get really proficient at one-handed catching; challenge yourself by catching the ball with the back of your hand, or with the top of your fist. At first this is a HUGE challenge, but as you develop your abilities, you'll begin to be able to "kill" the ball with proper contact--similar to what field players do when controlling balls with their chest, thigh, or top of the foot.
#3. Collecting Low, High and Crossed Balls.
Every training session should include time spent dealing with Low balls, High balls, and Crossed balls. You already know the proper technique for dealing with these balls. You've been preached at since you were a kid, "Get your body behind it, Catch with the 'W', Knee up on high balls to protect yourself"...etc., etc. The key here is to attack these drills with some intensity and try to catch each and every serve perfectly. Likewise, if you are the 'server', use this time to perfect your "playing with feet". Truly top-level GKs can "ping" a ball anywhere they want with either foot.
Spend about 25 minutes each in goal at this drill. If you can do this just two or three times per week, you'll be amazed at how quickly you become more proficient and confident dealing with any shot or serve the opposition can muster.
Obviously, if your Coach has other things planned for Team Training; you need to follow his/her direction. But if you have time to do some GK training on your own; one of the things I heartily suggest is perfecting your catching. Catching or collecting is a sure way to separate you from the "pack" in Training, Try-out, Camp, ODP, High School, College, or Professional settings. Remember, there are no secrets....it's just repetition, repetition, repetition.
Good Luck, and.......Catch ya' later J

Do Gay Martians Have the Right to Marry?
I learned years ago not to air this singular lapse at parties. People don't take it well. They insist, horrified, that I cannot be serious, as though I'd confessed a fondness for kicking stray dogs or pushing old ladies into traffic.
"What about Star Wars," they gasp. "Didn't you love Star Wars as a child?"
I didn't, because I never saw Star Wars as a child. I still haven't seen it, though I was persuaded to watch the final installment on a big screen. For a few minutes, it turned me into the screaming, bouncy second-grader I never was. But the thrill faded quickly and I've never bothered to watch the rest.
My imagination, I'm afraid, simply doesn't thrive on what's to come. I prefer to wander in the past. Given the chance and a time machine, I'd be tickled to pieces to sail around the world third class on a 1920s Cunard liner. If you handed me a first-class ticket to Mars, however, I'd hand it right back. I don't want to visit Mars, don't want to wear a space suit, don't want to play zero-gravity badminton with little green men from some nebulous nebula.
It's difficult to voice any of this without being accused of snobbery. And that's funny, because it's perfectly acceptable in America to say, for example, "I hate opera." I happen to love opera, and when someone tells me she hates it, I often ask which opera she went to hear. The answer is almost invariably, "Well, I've never actually been to the opera…" Which is what I've always thought snobbery was–assuming that something (or someone) is not worth your time without taking a closer look.
In my defense, although I escaped immersion in Star Wars I've still sampled enough other stuff from the genre to have formed what I think is an educated distaste. Some of it was moderately highbrow (2001: A Space Odyssey) and some of it low (the original Battlestar Galactica). None of it grabbed me.
So imagine my surprise when, after watching the trailer, I conceived an undeniable urge to see Star Trek at the theater.
Now, skipping Star Wars is a walk in the park compared to evading Star Trek. There's been so much of it; our culture is marinated in it. And it began as television. We didn't go to the movies much when I was a kid, but we sure as hell had a well-used television.
Yet I never watched it, in spite of fierce peer pressure. When my friends wanted to play Star Trek, they always had to tell me what to do. Otherwise I'd act wildly inappropriate and order Scotty to beam me to Paris. (Hey–they said the transporter could send you anywhere.)
I hadn't the faintest idea why the new movie caught my attention; but when Tom said he'd like to see it, I agreed to go. By Sunday afternoon, I was munching candy and watching everybody fight the Romulans.
Needless to say a whole bunch of the film zoomed right over my head, you should pardon the expression. Still, I enjoyed it. About halfway through, I realized why.
First, I love period pieces, and this is a period piece. It's set in the future, yes, but it's the future as imagined in the 1960s, re-created at the top of the twenty-first century. The costumers were splendidly faithful to the ironed hair, jump suits and go-go boots¬–indeed, the attention to detail is worthy of Merchant-Ivory.
Second, it's one of the best gay films I've ever seen. It's gayer than Milk.
I've been hearing for years that Star Trek, unlike a lot of other space epics, used futuristic situations at metaphors for contemporary issues. And so it is with this movie, which I interpret as a roman a clef exploration of the twinks vs. bears conflict within the gay community.
No, seriously. It's so obvious.
In case you're not familiar with the differing camps, twinks are the sort of gay person familiar to television audiences: young, fair, slender, with a fondness for form-fitting clothing and hair products. Twinks have taken over all the best-friend roles that used to go to actresses like Eve Arden.
Here, from the box cover of a gay Art Film celebrating (ahem) the twink lifestyle, is a representative sample.
Bears, on the other hand, are seldom represented in gay media and certainly never show up in mainstream media. Bears tend to be older, rougher, hairier, and heavier, with a fondness for tattoos, stout boots, and other trappings of untamed masculinity. Bears don't appear in straight television or film because straight male executives can't handle the idea of gay men who could kick the crap out of them.
Here, from another box cover from a very different gay Art Film, is a group of bears.
In Star Trek, the twinks are all aboard the Enterprise, along with their signature companion: a sexy, sassy female best friend. They're all wearing the same labels. The ship is new and exclusive, with custom retro furniture and perfect lighting–the de rigueur elements of a twink nightclub.
They are fighting the bears–thinly disguised as the Romulans–led by a pugnacious leather daddy named Nero, who struts around brandishing his gigantic staff. Aside from a nasty case of cauliflower ear, Nero is a prime candidate to get his own calendar from Colt Studios.
Nero's ship, the Narada, is black and spiky on the outside. Inside, it's all shadowy corners and well-worn industrial fittings, with no women in sight–the spitting image of your typical corner leather bar.
Let's do a side-by-side comparison, shall we?
Twinks and the crew of the Enterprise.
Bears and Nero the Romulan.
I rest my case, earthlings.

|Hey Everyone,
I live in Sydney and I just received a 1.3m fiddle leaf fig in a 300mm pot 3 weeks ago as a gift. I have been reading the forums about only watering once a week or so when the soil is dry and for it to have good indirect light but I have a couple of questions.
I have noticed a big brown spot on one of the big leaves that you can see in the photo - could that be from not enough water? I am only watering it once a week and about 1 litre of water.
I have gotten 3 new leaves at the top of the 2 stalks - these don't seem to have any brown marks except on the stems new leaves have lots of really tiny dots on them - they don't look too bad though - is this a worry?
I was thinking of repotting or potting up to a 400mm pot to encourage growth - it is spring here in australia - should i do this now or wait till summer? if the pot isn't root bound, should i pot up instead of repotting completely? I can't seem to find how to repot completely. The potting mix my friend bought for me is called "terracotta and tub" - not sure if this is the best potting mix for my fiddle leaf?
When I got the plant home and still now, the lower leaves are a bit droopy - the top ones seem ok - could this still be from inadequate light at the nursery? I have had it 3 weeks so I would have thought it would recovered by now - I am now worried the room I have it in doesn't get enough light - it is a pretty light room though! As you can also see from the photo it gets the light from the other room eastern facing in the morning, and in the afternoon the room it is in gets western sun but not directly at the plant.
Lastly, my fiddle leaf has 2 separate stems growing in a slightly v shape. Like alot of people in the forums, I wanted a more tree shape with branches - how I do I go about doing this? If, after the leaf that is growing out on the tallest stem settles flat, do i just cut the bud off the top off the next bud trying to be a leaf that tries to grow? I still would like more height but would like both stems to grow branches. Also, do I eventually remove the lower leaves to make it look more tree shape or should i do this, say next year? i am slightly enamoured with the fiddle leaf figs that pop up on google image search!
Hope this isn't information overload - I really want to put the work in with this plant!
Follow-Up Postings:
|There are a number of potential causes for the leaf damage. Too much/ too little water; a high level of solubles in the soil solution; soil compaction or root-bound conditions; nutritional deficiencies/toxicities; mechanical injury; disease; or other considerations. Back to these thoughts in a second.
If the little 'dots' you're referring to don't appear to be random in how they're arranged, they're probably lithocysts - specialized cells that hold cystoliths. That should give you some search words to help you with your investigation if you're interested. They're a normal part of the anatomy in many plants, and commonly conspicuous in the family Moraceae, so nothing to be concerned about.
Mid to late Dec would be a great time to repot (for you). You can find much more about repotting and root pruning if you follow the embedded link in this paragraph. Instead of guessing at what might be the problem and putting a lot of eggs in one basket, you can make better progress by making sure you have the bases appropriately covered. Start with getting the plant repotted into an appropriate soil, which is one you can water copiously at will, w/o need for being concerned about the possibility or probability root rot will be an issue or that the plant's vitality might be limited due to the soil remaining too soggy for too long. This is a key point, and one around which a good number of other issues revolve. Gaining an understanding of what constitutes a 'good' soil probably represents the largest single step forward a container grower can make at any one time, so please don't just skim over the thought. Understanding how soils work will put you over the hump on your container gardening journey.
Find a link below to more about soils. Let me know if you have questions. It's good to get rid of problem roots while the root mass is still easy to work on. Tending to root problems while the tree is young makes it much easier on the tree AND you in subsequent repotting sessions, so jump right into it at the earliest opportunity when the timing appropriate.
You can still have what looks like a single tree from a group of trunks. In bonsai, we call that a clump or grove style (arrangement).
5 trunks - looks like a single tree:
2 trunks (mother/daughter style) looks like a single tree as well:
I'll wait to see what you have to say, then we can talk about how to start preparing your plant so it eventually looks more like a single-stemmed plant, even if it has more than 1 stem. Normally, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or 9 trunks look good. After 9, your eye usually can't choose between odd & even numbers of trunks. Odd numbers (except 2) are best until you have a LOT of trunks.
Sorry it took awhile to get over here. It's been really busy at work and at home, getting ready for winter, so I haven't had much extra time.
Here is a link that might be useful: More about soils if you click me!

|Hey Al,
Thanks very much for your reply. I really appreciate it. So I will repot in 1 month's time (I read your detailed trees in container posts and the soil post - thanks! it scares me a little to cut off roots but I will build the courage in december to do this!)- in the meantime I have moved the plant to my bedroom which has brighter light - do you think this is a good idea for a month while waiting to repot to see if this also helps the plant? When I got home from a weekend away the lower leaves looked saggier than ever!
Thanks for the info on the lithocysts - it's funny that they seem to be on one stem and not the other (see photo of affected stem at bottom of this message).
Thank you also for the photos of tree like shapes from multiple stems - I am happy with the 2 trunks with the fiddle leaf - how do I encourage branches on the fiddle leaf and thickening of the main 2 trunks? I can see the 2 single stems that it currently has will eventually grow away from each other in a "V". I would like the plant eventually to have more height but also branches. I guess something like this:
(knowing I will have 2 trucks so it will look different but you get the idea).
Thanks again Al. Also no rush getting back to me - I totally appreciate you are busy!

- Posted by floraetfauna none (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 18:06
|Hi there,
Similar to what Andy is trying to achieve (a more tree-like shape), should I remove the lower foliage to reveal the trunk?
- Posted by andy_sydney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 20:34
|Hey Floraetfauna,
I nipped off the top bud of one of my branches a few months ago (it's summer in Sydney) but I have had no back budding yet. Guessing it takes a long time?
Also my plant is just naturally dropping one or two of it's lower leaves occasionally when they get old so unless you want a naked tree maybe wait till you have branches? I'm not sure mine is going to branch. I'm actually finding it a really difficult plant when I had read it's an easy house plant.
Good luck with yours!
|FetF - as your tree matures, it will tend to lose the lower leaves as a matter of course. Until then, leave them on the tree; they produce food to fuel the tree's growth, and removing them won't promote back-budding. If you're going to do any repotting (which includes root pruning) or hard pruning of the top, you might want to get after it right away (for those who didn't catch it, FetF lives in Australia).
When your tree gets to be about 2/3 of the ht you'd like to maintain it at, top it. Branches will then start to grow behind the truncation cut, if not before that. Allow each new branch to grow 3-4 leaves, then prune it back to 2 leaves. This will force your tree into a bushier or fuller growth habit.
- Posted by andy_sydney (My Page) on Wed, Feb 12, 14 at 21:40
|Hey Al
Does back budding take months? I took the tip of the top most bud coming to 3 months ago and nothing has grown since? I trimmed the roots and repotted last December so maybe it's just recovering?
|It can take a while for some trees to get their feet back under them. The better and faster you get at root work, the faster your trees recover. Also, each repotting/root pruning of individual trees improves the ratio of fine roots to heavy roots, and the more fine roots you have, the less stress the tree will incur from repotting.
How well a tree back-buds depends on several factors. You'll get the most vigorous back-budding on trees that are very healthy, growing outdoors in very bright light, and cut back quite to very hard in Dec or Jan (for those in the Southern Hemisphere). The farther you stray from those parameters, the weaker the back-budding will be.

School 2morrow..........
WHY??!?!?!?!? I feel like I havnt been to school in eternity! Grrrr....anywho, so yeah, what happened this week.................Jessica totaled her car and broke her hand....I went to animal kingdom and Epcot and the magic kingdom and MGM, and the Arabian Nights show.......(during our week in orlando) I got Eric Stitch Hot coco, I got Jess a necklace that says Jessica, and I got meghan a sticker with tinkerbell on it that says "Its all about me"....... Arabian Nights was by far my fav. part of the trip....That new mission space thing at Epcot is alright....I cant wait till the south florida fair!!!! I know Its probly gonna be me and meg and Jess going, but I really really really hope Eric comes to...I really want him with me there this year!:) Hes such a sweetie, but dont tell him that...;) I admitt theres been times where I was um...angry at him, but it seems like hes kindof changing around to be more of the guy I want to be around:). I have never been in a steady "going out" relationship, with like no big fights, no day-long break ups, and no dating other people, which is really cool, because for the first time evr, I dont want to date other people, I know my friends constantly tell me "he who will go unnamed" likes me, and truthfully I couldnt care less. In my eyes, no guy is as good as mine:) but I read in a magazine that if u let a guy know how much he means to you, he will take advantage of that....but I dont really think thats the case here.....I mean I think If I finally said the 3 word phrase (ILY) to him, he would respect me more-so, you know? I dont know, Its all so confusing...lol..................ANYWHO,
me and meghan are going to a tanning bed sometime next week. Ive gone to long as a sunless florida girl! I cant wait:) Ive been in one before, but It was my friends, so it was free, it was on their back porch....so Im not sure what exactly a tanning salon is like... oh well, guess Ill find out...well g/g do laundry, later.

OK, Im finally off grounding, and Jessicas at her dads, meghan is with Amy, Erica is not picking up her phone, and Eric is skating. I hate this, he thinks just because I CAN stay out to midnight means he can wait till forever to call and go out whenever its convienent for him, and He needs to realize that we BOTH have schedules and we BOTH need to do a little compromising, but so far Im the only one doing the compromising. Theres nothing to DO at 11 or midnight or whatever. GRRR Im so mad, Its 8 30! What If I wanted to go to bed early tonight? Not to mention today is most likely the only day this weekend I can hang out with him because no doubt he has work the next 2 days, and I have a ton of laundry, and sunday Im going to younglife with Shannon, so oh well, his loss. GRRRR

I dont and never will understand the complex minds of the male gender. Some days it seems like Eric is happy in our relationship, other days (like today) It just seems like hed rather be doing anything else, and then If he cant possibly find something else to do, he thinks "oh, hey maybe Ill call my girlfriend and see what shes up to". I mean I knew we of course would have our own lives, but I just want to see him more than one time a week, for like 3 hours. I mean, think about it, there are like 168 hours in a week....I mean the only reason why Im working so hard in school is so I can actually get off grounding and GO OUT somewhere with him. But now it seems like everyday he drifts further and further and I wonder If he will last until probly sometime next week when I get un-grounded, or if he will just finally decide Im not worth it or something. I feel like If I loose him, I loose a little part of myself. So anyone of my friends reading this, ADVISE PLEASE thanks

I still have 3 more sections, and it took me like 3 hours to do 2. and the guy is coming again tomorrow to teach me like 2 or 3 more sections....AHHH. Today meghan just showed up @ my house with some of my borrowd clothes that she wanted to "trade" for her bikini top she left here. and she still has one of my shirts....and bird has one of my shirts too, and I have one of her shirts and a pair of her shoes....yeah, so Its all mixed up. It turns out that for thanksgiving break we are going to orlando, and my parents said if anyone of my friends wanted to drive up there for a day and go to a theme park or something they could, but I dont think they can stay the night, IDK I would have to double check....so yeah, I gotta get back to algebra.....UCK............l8r

***Good Night***
I am in such a good mood, cause even though Im in more trouble than I could ever be in, Eric came over tonight and it was the first time In like a week that I had even talked to him more than 10 minutes, or seen him for that matter. I feel really guilty because hes such a good boyfriend, and I feel like I keep letting him down, I keep getting punished when I know I can prevent it, and he is still patient with me, and so great. My own father even told me that most boys would be out looking for another gf right about now, but my dad doesnt have to tell me that, I know how unbelievably lucky I am. and If for nothing else, Im going to ace school and get out of this quickly for him, because Im not really being fair to him, you know? This whole deal is my fault, and though I know it makes him mad, he stays with me, and I thing thats awesome. I could never ask for anything more.:) ttyl!:)

I found this blog and it reminded me of Eric.....He loves Lilo and Stitch....anyways, my last entry got interrupted by my mom kicking me off the comp...so yeah, today I was going to go swimming but I was lazy and watched real world vs Roadrules instead...Grounded life is the worst. I only have 1 more week, and after having 3 weeks of this, that shouldnt seem like alot, but its all building up and I just cant wait to get out of this house, even If Im just going to be training dogs for 4 hours, which will probly be fun anyways. I just gotta figure out where that place is so I wont get lost driving there. anyways, I guess Ill go get a quick shower before my mom gets home, & Eric might be coming to see me later tonight so Im happy about that:) I think he thinks that I dont really care if or when he comes over, but I do, I want him to come over whenever possible, but I know he has other stuff so I just try to let him know I want him to do that too, but I think he might take it as if I dont want to hang out with him. But thats not it at all, I hope he knos that....anyways.....I guess Ill go jump in a shower.....l8r

Im going to volunteer @ Animals 101 training therapy dogs (www.animals101.com) from 1-5, then after that I think Im going to see the disney movie Brother Bear:) I think Eric is taking me...I hope...But anywho, the homecoming parade was ok, though it was the most embarrasing thing Ive ever done cause I had to dress as Danny from Grease and kids were going "Elvis! Elvis!".........all the other kids on the float thought it was funny but me, so yeah.......well, I gotta go.

I do prefer this spelling over "rebecca" but everybody mis-spells it!!! The Hebrew meaning for the name is "maiden that ensnares by her beauty" so that's where the "snare" definition came from. BTW, that's my name.by bekah90
Another meaning of the name Rebekah is to tie or bind. In the biblical story of Issaic and Rebekah she leaves everything she has ever known to bind herself to a man she has never met. Its quite romantic, her willingness and bravery to marry Issaic is enchanting.by beckysczebel
I've always loved my name. never knowing what it meant until now is surprising. Gets a little frustrating when people ask me to spell it. Course I understand when this is an uncommon spelling.by NavajoNative09
I have never heard that my name meant snare before. I don't like to think of myself as a trap but I have always loved my name. Plus, it's amusing to me when people ask me how to pronounce it. Heehee!by Hothobbit6
It's my name and I have always loved it! Thanks Dad for picking out a great name not naming me something else! lol!by beka802000


text: After slaying Gym Leader Maylene, I quickly headed out of the Veilstone City Gym with my third Sinnoh Gym badge in hand and I saw my pal Lucas right outside. He had apparently dropped his Pokedex and Team Galactic grunts had picked it up and Lucas wanted my help to get it back from them. I walked towards the Galactic Warehouse and confronted the two grunts with Lucas. We battled and beat them in a Tag Battle and Lucas left after getting his Pokedex back. I picked up the Fly HM from Galactic Warehouse and after healing my team again and stocking up on important items, I walked south toward Route 214. I battled against a Psychic nearby and picked Cheri and Chesto Berries as well before saving my game.

To care for creation and to serve the most vulnerable among us are mandates shared by all major religions. The accelerating climate crisis and the consequences of global warming are the most urgent and dangerous symptoms of a failure by people of faith to fulfill this universal mandate.
NC Interfaith Power & Light organizes and participates in local, regional and state-wide events including workshops, presentations, film screenings, media campaigns, and religious gatherings. We emphasize the interfaith nature of our work and the theological call to care for creation; support congregation-level actions reducing energy use through efficiency, conservation, renewable energy and food choices; achieve improved spiritual and physical health, justice, peace, and sustainability for future generations when responding creatively to climate change; and the importance of sharing success stories that can lead the way for others.
The work of NCIPL has never been more urgent. It is all too easy to sink into despair as the realities of climate change play out in the news and in our lives. Through the lens of faith, hope trumps despair, and our programs offer practical and meaningful ways to begin to act in faith with hope to repair, restore and reconcile our relationship with God and God's creation.

Alternatively, the word can refer to the highest part of a rail profile, on the top surface of which the wheels of the rolling stock run.
