I purchased several to tie together to use as an additional noise maker at my 9 yr old son's football games. They are great quality. Nice size and weight.
Best Uses
These cowbells are just great all around. I was worried that they weren't going to be loud like some cowbells that I've seen in the store that are used for weddings and parties, but these cowbells exceeded my expectations. I am planning on using them for my wedding, so our guests can ring the cowbell on the table if they'd like to see the bride and groom kiss. I was so excited that I found good, sturdy cowbells at such a low price. Upon receiving the package I was just filled with joy. They were perfect in every way. Perfect size and perfect sound! I can't wait to use these for my wedding. Not only are they going to serve a great little purpose but they also make an adorable decoration for the tables.

|Media Maven: "It's Complicated" Movie Review

Media Maven: "It's Complicated" Movie Review
Life wouldn't be quite as interesting without its complications. Our media maven fills you in on whether this film is a complicated mess or a complex delight.
Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, John Krasinski, Mary Kay Place, Rita Wilson, Alexandria Wentworth, Hunter Parrish, Zoe Kazan, Caitlin Fitzgerald
"It's Complicated" could have been named "It's Adorable" and we still would have watched it with a tongue-in-cheek amusement of one couple's tryst long after the finalization of their divorce.
This film was an enjoyable romp where all parties involved seemed to be having a good time. Our story begins with Jane (Meryl Streep) saying goodbye to her last child, making her an empty nester and forcing her to reassess her life thus far.
Jane lives in a gorgeous home (a remnant from her divorce). She's a pastry chef who owns her own business and is the proprietor of a popular eatery in town. She has three faithful girlfriends and three adoring adult children. What doesn't she have in her life? A relationship. And that is all about to change.
Jane is having major remodeling done to her home, requiring architect Adam (Steve Martin) to meet with her for consultations. Adam serves as a kind, conscientious man, and he brings order to Jane's life in the midst of the chaos that ensues.
Out of the obligation of parenting and celebrating in the pride of their youngest son graduating from college, Jane is frequently in the company of her ex-husband, Jake (Alex Baldwin). Jake has married a much younger woman who already has a child and wants to conceive another with Jake.
Jane and Jake have long reconciled the demise of their marriage, yet find themselves suddenly attracted to the other. Jane and Jake hook up in a series of comical, lighthearted episodes of which her son-in-law-to-be, Harley (John Krasinski,) has discovered.
Is it just lust that Jane and Jake feel? Will Jake leave his trophy wife to recommit to Jane? What about the kind and caring Adam, the new man in Jane's life? Well, it's complicated. And if you want to find out the answers, you'll have to go see the movie of the same name.
Chic Stars: * * * *
Jan's Movie Rating System:
* * * * * — Top-notch entertainment
* * * * — Compelling, heartwarming, thrilling, comical
* * * — The a) story b) actors c) special effects saved/made this movie.
* * — If you are bored, watch it or wait for DVD
* — Don't bother. Too morose, too violent, too blase, an enigma.

Beating the Nighttime Blues
Friday, November 18, 2011
With the constant stress of school, work, or other day-to-day events, a majority of people have a hard time shutting off their brain to get some shut eye. During finals week or feeling completely overwhelmed with other commitments, I find myself not receiving enough of sleep due my racing mind standing in the way. However, an article recently published in Women's Health, explores some remedies to calm our nerves during one of the most important times of day.
Some of the solutions were ones I have been given in the past, such as not consuming anything with caffeine close to bedtime and using specific breathing techniques when laying in bed. However, some other options such as adding pillows and taking a bath before bed, were ones I had never considered. Pillows are claimed to be " the most important equipment for working out your z's" and should be supportive, comfortable, and suitable to your sleeping style. The magazine also offers a link to finding your perfect pillow match depending on your sleeping position. When our body temperature drops, it causes the perfect sleeping conditions. Women's Health suggests us to take a hot bath or shower and lay down to allow us to cool off. Another recommendation made by the magazine is to not eat too close to bedtime because it may cause indigestion or frequent trips to the bathroom during the middle of the night; something we definitely want to avoid! Check out the rest of the article to find other simple, yet effective ways to squeeze out the most amount of sleep possible suitable to your lifestyle!

Michael Beasley and Greg Oden have taken turns on the active roster for the Miami Heat in the eastern conference finals playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, but neither has whiffed playing time. Oden came the closet to seeing the court in Game 5, when the lopsided nature of the score threatened to turn into a blowout and he might have seen garbage-time minutes. But the Pacers kept the fourth quarter close enough that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra hesitated to pull his stars right up until the end. So the question now must be asked: are Beasley and Oden done?
Greg Oden was thought to have been signed by the Heat specifically to provide bulk against the Pacers. But even with Chris Birdman Andersen out for Game 5 with an injury, his minutes were all divvied up among other players and Oden still didn't see action. Michael Beasley has apparently recovered from his minor injury at the regular season but has devolved into little more than a trivia question, with game announcers mentioning once per game that he's still a member of the Heat when the camera happens to catch a glimpse of him on the sideline. With Miami set to face either the Spurs or the Thunder in the NBA Finals, both players have to hope that the matchups happen to favor their talents more than any of the Heat's first three postseason opponents have so far. There is also the question of what happens next year.
Both players signed for the veteran minimum, and while neither has made significant contributions this season, neither has been more trouble than they're worth. That alone is enough to expect that Oden and Beasley will both get another shot with the salary cap-strapped next season. But they could both be done for the postseason.


text: 5 Experience from playing Open BETAAllanWynPritchard | 25/04/2012 | See all AllanWynPritchard's reviews (4)I took part in the Open BETA that Blizzard ran recently and I have to say I am very impressed indeed. The game is way bigger in scale and scope than the excellent Diablo 2. I really enjoyed all the new changes to the game. There is a few that will take time to adjust to (when used to the system in Diablo 2), but it will all gel together in the end.The 3 days I had with the game really gave an insight into the skills, combat and character types that will be available to us when the game is released on the 15th May 2012.The graphics are also very impressive. Good animations and the atmosphere from the area was very good indeed. The voice work and music is up to the standards that was in the previous Diablo games.When Play deliver my copy on 15th May (for a price of 24.99 as I pre ordered it over 3 years ago) I can say goodbye to my social life as this willa time killer. But it will be time that will be very well spent indeed.I cant recommend this game enough. The countdown timer for May 15th now starts.

Why did police have to kill the two bucks that got locked up in Ellendale? Nobody ever heard of tranquilizer guns?
I would like to thank all the kind people who helped us with our tax return at Valparaiso University. Great job!
In Merrillville, 54th Avenue west to Grant Street needs curb-to-curb resurfacing, not patching. It is that bad.
Hey Hobart neighbors, the houses on our street are single-family homes, not meant for all your family from all over the country.
I thought the Gary state-of-the-city address was a very nice event. Lots of plans and promises but next time mayor, please just play a CD for the national anthem. Keep it simple. The more simple the better.
It's unbelievable that they arrested that couple out in Portage for sneaking in on a movie and charged them with a felony. Why didn't they just throw them out of the show and ban them?

NFL probes Bills' injury reporting
Since the season opened, the Buffalo Bills' Mario Williams has been complaining about a nagging wrist injury. But the fact that the Bills have not listed Williams on any of their injury reports, including last week's, has caught the attention of executives around the league and the NFL itself.
Walker: Another Excuse For Williams
It's uncertain if the Bills will be punished for not listing Mario Williams on their injury report but the highly paid defensive end needs to stop the excuses for his lack of production, ESPN.com's James Walker writes. Blog
The NFL is investigating why Williams, who landed $50 million in guaranteed money this offseason, has publicly complained about his wrist as recently as last week, yet he still is not on Buffalo's injury report.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday that "the club says he is not injured. We will follow up this week to obtain a formal explanation."
The Bills said Williams has not missed any practice reps and there never was a doubt he would play in each game.
Yet the NFL's injury report policy says "significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed" regardless.
"Even if the player takes all the reps in practice, and even if the team is certain that he will play in the upcoming game," the rule states. "This is especially true of key players and those players whose injuries have been covered extensively by the media. ... This policy is of paramount importance in maintaining the integrity of the NFL."

First, About the lyrical moment:
I was walking to Lane Hall on Thursday afternoon and saw an ice cream cone lying on the street elegantly.
An ice cream cone
Lying on the street, unmelted
Like a pale new born baby
We talked about utsusemi and animism last week, and the reading for this week focused more on the ideas of hakanasa and a Buddhist world view of impermanence (mujo). Personally, the past experience of being in love as a whole can be summarized as hakanasa. As for the feelings of love, both beginning and ending are uncontrollable, changeable and fleeting. (Inouye27) It disappears so fast and thoroughly that I started to doubt the thing called love actually never existed, and the whole experience of being in love is nothing but a sweet illusion. Shift from hakanasa, Mujo is a broader concept of impermanence that permeates every aspect of life, from dreamlike affection to unreliable human relations (Inouye 31). This Buddhist interpretation of reality explains and provides a solution to our frustrations and sufferings in life. A rather simple takeaway from the readings is that since everything is impermanent, the desire and effort to pursue them will give us frustration sooner or later, and the only way to free ourselves is to stop relying on those external things to reach reality and start to accept whatever life has to offer.

Using Hooks
Hooks are used in many applications and frameworks. The special approach of Agile Toolkit is that hooks are defined "per-object". As an example, form will bind loadData() and submit() on API's hooks. This allows Form objects to execute code between initialization and rendering.
Hooks are typically used by controllers, add-ons. More hooks can be gradually added through hook() to standard classes. Here is example of a hook:
Calling this will actually execute all the code which was assigned here by addHook()
Using different callable types
There are several ways to specify a callable to an addHook():
$obj->addHook('myhook',function($o){ echo 'closure'; });
$obj->addHook('myhook',array($this, 'method')); // executes $this->method($obj);
$obj->addHook('myhook',array($this)); // shortcut for $this->myhook($obj);
Arguments to hooks
It's possible to pass arguments to a hooked functions:
$obj->addHook('myhook',function($o,$subj){ echo $subj; });
$obj->hook('myhook',array('hello world'));
By default all the hooks are added with priority=5. If you specify a lesser number to addHook() your hook will be executed before other hooks. Specifying value greater than 5 will leave your function to be executed after.
Hooks with same priority will be executed in the same order they have been added. To reverse this order use negative priority.
$this->addHook('myhook',function($o){ echo 'world'; },-1);
$this->addHook('myhook',function($o){ echo 'hello'; },-1);
Returning values from hooks
Because there might be multiple handlers on a single hook, returning values will be stored in array:
$this->addHook('myhook',function($o){ return 'foo'; });
$this->addHook('myhook',function($o){ return 'bar'; });
var_dump ($this->hook('myhook')); // will show array('foo','bar');
If hooks are not defined, empty array will be returned. It's a quite popular construct, which uses a fall-back code in case hooks were not defined:
// default handler
Breaking hook
In some cases you would want to stop any other hooks from being called. To do so, call $this->breakHook($return_value);. This method will raise exception which hook() will the intercept and retrieve return value
If hook is intercepted then return of hook() method is set to the first argument of breakHook();

Mom just got home from a walk with Lego around the golf course. He did good, she said, so she let him off leash when he was doing his best, as a reward for his effort. He is a totally different dog when he's by himself, or at least when we're not all there, because it's not until then that he really relaxes. When the whole pack is together he slips into his role as the look-out, and isn't able to let go and have fun. Also, I'd say that when the whole pack is gathered my folks tend to tense up a bit cuz they feel like they need to be in control of, and prepared for, everything the whole time. And sure enough, when they don't relax, Lego doesn't either. He's extremely sensitive to the slightest mood change, but also to some weather. He's a little skittish in the dark and doesn't like it when it's windy or raining. Of course, keeping up with 6 dogs on a walk that includes lots of people and dogs (some balanced, some not), high traffic and loud noises, isn't always a piece of cake. It could, should and will be, but it takes a lot of practice and concentration. Before Alfie got here my mom didn't have any trouble at all on the walks. But when they added a large, clumsy and alert puppy like him, things have gotten a little more complicated… Like all of us, Alfie has a role to play when out with his pack. He's supposed to guard and protect us. What all of us need to feel though, is trust in mom. She makes the calls and keeps us safe. She just needs to get that through to all of us. Alfie and Lego are the last ones to learn this. The way to get there is by spending time alone with them, building a special and unique bond with each one, and when that's done, add them to the pack and go easy in the beginning. Their reward will be a smooth and pleasant walk without interruptions.
The goal is not only to achieve balance within the pack because that's already been done once. The real goal is to keep it, and that's the hard part – but also the most rewarding! You can already tell that Alfie will grow up to be this noble, elegant, confident and relaxed dog. All the raw material is there, my folks just have to preserve it. I have no doubt in my mind that the pack will go back to its original balance before we know it.

While I may have a few minor concerns about the current emotional state of some gold market investors, I have absolutely no concerns about what I see on the gold chart. It's a bullish work of art.
Still, if you want to drive from Los Angeles to New York, I think we can all agree that you should consider stopping for gas, correct?
Well, the gold price needs to stop for financial gas on its trip across "dollar country", particularly when it has "driven" $240 uphill on the dollar price grid, and is preparing to blast above significant technical resistance.
Click here now to view the key daily gold chart. It's a picture of bullish beauty, and I have highlighted the enormous wedge formation with two black trend lines.
It is normal, healthy, and desirable for price to pull back to the supply line of a wedge formation after the initial breakout to the upside, and that is happening now.
After rising about $240 an ounce without a fuel stop, your gold automobile has simply pulled into the financial gas station. The attendant is filling your car with gas, checking the oil, and even cleaning your golden windshield.
Sadly, many of you may be cursing the attendant this week, as he does his job. In the gold world, there are great gas stations. The service is impeccable, as shown by the gold chart.
Screaming at the attendant that you don't need any gas to drive all the way across the country is perhaps not the smartest move, but it's your call.
You don't need to panic here at the gas station. Soon your gold car will be happily on its way across dollar country once again.
Liquidating juniors stocks at huge losses into $1525 and then rebuying them as gold soars into $1700-$1750 is the best way to get a lifetime membership card in the price chasing country club. It's also an action that could impoverish you.
If the gold market is manipulated then it is all the more important not to engage in the action of chasing price. The banks likely are manipulating gold, and manipulating it higher, with central bank buy programs.
The question of why some gold investors have felt significant discomfort over the past few days is perhaps one that is better answered in front of the mirror than by trying to see who can reach the loudest decibel level while screaming that Friday's jobs report is a fake one.
Silver fans should click here now. You can see that price has charged from about $26 to $34, and has now pulled into the financial gas station for a rest and a fill-up, alongside the lead gold car.

Green Right Now
Water shortages are coming, though it seems not to have registered with most Americans, who will expend billions of gallons of water on their lawns this summer so they can grow non-indigenous grasses and thirsty ornamental flowers.
Blessed with abundant water until lately, Americans also will continue to shower, clean, flush and eat with little thought of the water scarcity predicted to imperil far more than our lawns.
But by 2013 – in just two years – some 36 states are expected to face water shortages over part or all of their territory, forcing rationing and restrictions.
It's time to drink in that information, and blunt the blow by taking a variety of conservation steps, especially in the yard, where most homeowners (except in rainy regions) use more than half of the water piped to their household.
Take it from master gardener and DIYer, Paul James, aka, The Gardener Guy of HGTV fame: We can do better. James has been helping viewers green their landscapes, sensibly, for more than 15 years on HGTV's Gardening by the Yard. Now he is working with public gardeners, who are celebrating National Public Gardens Day, on May 6, to direct people to their nearest public garden to learn the latest water conservation techniques. Many public or botanical gardens now have demonstration areas, showing low-water native or adapted plants, native turf developed for urban settings and special irrigation techniques. (Find a city, state or university-affiliated garden at this online locator. )
We caught up with James (naturally he was working in the yard back home in Oklahoma) to ask him to share his best ideas for how homeowners or even renters or apartment managers can take easy first steps, and progressively more involved measures, to conserve the precious water that we take for granted.
Here are his recommendations:
1. Put the automatic sprinkler system on "manual." Then water when it's time to water. You'll know when it's time because the plants will begin to wilt (or maybe a little sooner). Then turn on the sprinkler. And don't get caught being a double-dipper. "How many times have you driven by (someone's system) when it's pouring rain and the sprinklers are running full blast?"
2. Get a good moisture sensor for your sprinkler system. Once you do, you can use the "auto" sprinkle mode, because the sensor will report when the landscape moisture is depleted.
3. Water grass deeply, but less often. "Really soak it well. That can be counter-intuitive to people, but plants do much better as a result. Then they don't have a 'drought' followed by 10 minutes of watering…If you dig into the soil after that amount of time, there might be only ¼ inch of soil that's wet." Soaking the soil, but watering less often, replicates nature and creates healthier turf.
4. Cut grass a little taller than average. Remember that the height of the turf reflects the height of the root system. Whatever the height of the turf, that's the height of the root system, and deeper roots can better support the grass.
5. Be a "mulch maniac" and mulch well in the ornamental beds. "Nothing retains better moisture better than mulch…but more than retaining moisture, it cools the soil, which plants appreciate. It encourages microbial activity in the soil, as well as earthworms and all the other living things in the soil."
6. Collect rainwater in a rain barrel. But don't use that water on edible crops if it comes rolling off the asphalt shingle roof. It could contain hydrocarbons and bird poop. Use this collected rain water for ornamentals and trees.
7. Plant native plants because they'll enrich the outdoor environment. "Anything that will feed the birds, the butterflies and any wildlife is icing on the cake." But remember, they do need to be watered during the first year.
8. Reduce or take down water-hungry turf. "There's no getting around the fact that most turf grasses are the most resource-consuming plants in the landscape…However there are species like Buffalo grass (and) grama grass that are native, and new varieties are coming along that are quite attractive and easy to grow." (Check High Country Gardens to find some of these new neighborhood-adapted wild turf grasses.
9. Plant a new variety of Buffalo grass if you have the opportunity. Once established, it can go five or six weeks without water and only requires about five mowings a year. Its nutrient needs are low, so it doesn't require chemical inputs. Reconsider Bermuda grass, if you are starting over with your turf. That is, consider getting rid of it! "Bermuda is cursed by half the people who grow it and adored by the other half," but unless you have bricks and stones around your flower beds, it will invade with a vengeance. It's "extremely rugged" and will win out over any other grass, so you must remove it with a sod cutter if you're going to make a change.
10. Visit a public garden. Not all of them have advanced low-water demonstration gardens, but those that do are instructive.
Public gardens such as the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center outside Austin, Texas, display a full palette of natural flowers, grasses and shrubs that are native to the area and easy to grow. The center's displays and expert gardeners can help you learn how to corral nature's beauty into a native landscape suitable for your home.
Across the country many more public gardens are becoming water-wise and promoting native plants.
"They offer plant sales and have seminars. They have herbs and edibles," James says. "They're a really rich source of ideas and inspiration."

The Riviera
|Gin (with Campari & Marschino, infused with pineapple)
|Lemon juice
|Simple syrup
|Egg white
|Mint (as garnish)
|Orange bitters (as garnish)
Cocktail summary
|Created by
|Toby Maloney, Violet Hour, Chicago, IL
|Authentic recipe
|Posted by
|Dan on 06/06/2010
I also tried this with a pineapple-kiwi shrub in place of lemon juice, and still no simple or egg white (made the shrub using Neyah White's cold process as described here with equal parts fruit, sugar, and vinegar http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/cold-processed-berry-shrub-re...), keeping the 4:2:1 gin:campari:maraschino ratio, with 2 oz of that to 0.5 oz of the shrub. I like this version much better than the lemon juice version, which is also very good. I started the shrub at the same time as the gin infusion, since I had a whole pineapple and too many kiwis laying around, so if you are going to plan ahead to infuse the gin, you might consider starting a shrub too, and see what you think.
For anyone who has tried this- is there really a benefit to adding the campari and maraschino to the gin when you start the pineapple infusion? I'd like to try this, but my concern is that if the spirit balance doesn't end up where I'd want it, it will be hard to adjust. I'm leaning towards just doing a pineapple-infused gin (or white rum) and adding the campari and maraschino to individual cocktails, unless the 4 ingredients infusing together really makes a difference. I'm thinking 4:2:1 gin:campari:maraschino if I do them all together, but I'm worried that still might be too much maraschino.
I started my gin, without the Campari and Maraschino. I'm trying a batch of pineapple-infused white rum as well. The swapped Campari and Maraschino ratio sounds much more appealing, so I'll definitely start there, thanks.
I made my pineapple infused gin and used 1 oz of it, .5 campari, .25 maraschino, .75 lemon, and no simple, and it was really good. I'll probably bump the campari up and the lemon down next time, but I like the way the pineapple, campari, and maraschino melded together without any one of them taking over. I think this would make a great drink for a summer party; I can see the flavors appealing to most people, but it is still different enough to be interesting.
Alrighty.... round 2: Dropped the simple out completely, used the egg white. This is much less sweet, but also not as textured. This is decent enough, but it's missing something. The mint does nothing as a garnish, as the egg white foam mutes most of the aroma of the cocktail. Frustrating.
Drinking this now, with flipped Campari & Maraschino ratios, as suggested by Dan, and without the eggwhite. This smells nice due to the mint and orange bitters, and is pleasant enough, but I think it's a bit sweet, and not quite bitter enough to effect compexity in the drink. A pleasant harmony does arise from the pineapple, Campari and Maraschino, but I'd drop the simple to 1/2 oz or even 1/4, and I might either up the Campari in the drink (not the mix) or add more mint and muddle it first.
So here's the way I figure it. The infusion has a bit more than 1/2 oz of Maraschino in the 2 oz used, and coupled with 3/4 oz of simple, it's really sweet. If you count Maraschino effective as sweet as simple, 1/4 oz simple with the infusion gives you an equal parts sour.

Volunteers dig landscaping projects (video)

Day of Caring
The Victoria County United Way kicked off its 2012-13 campaign Thursday with its third annual Day of Caring at the Mid-Coast Family Services women's shelter. More than 150 volunteers from area companies and nonprofit organizations took part in landscaping and other chores at the facility
Campaign chairwoman Geri Schroeder announced Thursday that the goal for the 2012-13 Victoria County United Way fundraising campaign is $926,000.
The agency is well on its way toward that goal, Bruce Woods, Pacesetter chairman, announced. Pacesetters are companies and individuals who jump start the campaign by giving gifts early and set the standard for commitment. Pacesetter contributions totaled $221,818, 24 percent of the total campaign goal.
An excited Angelcia DeLaGarza patted down the dirt around a tree she had just planted at the women's shelter.
She looked up, beaming.
DeLaGarza's enthusiastic smile came, not only because she was volunteering to help with the landscaping project, but because she realized the work she had just done relates to lessons she teaches her Girl Scouts.
"In the process of planting the tree, I realized one of our journeys, called Between Earth and Sky for our Daisy Girl Scouts," she said. "While I was digging the hole, I saw the layers in the soil and identified them.
"The lessons I teach the girls, I got to see myself. I feel like I earned my Journey badge today," DeLaGarza said. "Being here is important to me, too, because it's a chance to give back to the community. We teach our girls the importance of giving back."
And she wasn't alone.
More than 150 volunteers took part in the Victoria County United Way's third annual Day of Caring.
The event, at the Mid-Coast Family Services women's shelter, kicked off the United Way's annual fundraising campaign.
"What I think is great is that the Day of Caring gives people an opportunity to get together, shoulder to shoulder, rubbing elbows and breaking sweat, knowing they are making a difference," said Russell Janecka, president of the United Way board of directors.
He added it gives people an opportunity to feel they are making a difference just as much as donating to United Way.
"Sweat equity gives a greater sense of accomplishment and appreciation for what difference you are making in Victoria," Janecka said.
Among the projects the volunteers took part in were installing flag poles, sodding the backyard, planting trees, prepping plant beds and planting bushes, and installing rock beds.
In addition, work was done in the kennel area of the shelter.
About two dozen volunteers from DuPont took part in the Day of Caring.
"We realize it's important to give back to the community," said Craig Mosman, an engineer and captain of the volunteers. "We work here, but we also live here. We want to be part of the community and give back a little bit."
Ginny Stafford, executive director of Mid-Coast Family Services, was thrilled with the assistance - and the United Way funding her agency received.
She noted when the shelter opened, it only had the bare necessities, as far as landscaping was concerned.
"We wanted to make this a place that is inviting that the women will feel comfortable coming into," Stafford said.
"Having this giant group of volunteers come in and do the backyard grass, the flower beds and the trees will set that kind of stage."
Stafford said her staff could not have done the work alone and would have had to hire it out, a project that is cost prohibitive on the agency's budget.
"Since we moved into the shelter, our budget has definitely changed," she said. "Our daily census has gone up. We're spending more on food, water and electricity.
"Without United Way, we'd be in trouble. It really helps pay the bills."

Most students are enjoying summer break, but hundreds across the state began summer back in the classroom.
For the first time, special camps were set up to help students prepare to retake all or parts of the STAAR exam.
"They feel a lot of anxiety to pass this test, but they're here every day. They're working hard. I'm surprised by the attendance rate. Almost all of them are coming every single day, which has just been outstanding," Reading Teacher Beth Reynolds said.
In Austin, Anderson High School and Bowie High School are offering the camps this summer.
Official figures released earlier this month indicate if the final state standards were already in place, more than half of Texas high school freshmen would have failed in five key areas.
The standards are being implemented gradually. Students have to pass these exams in order to graduate high school. Next year, the end of course exams will count for 15 percent of their grade.
Retesting for the STAAR exam begins July 9.

This slammed E46 belongs to a 23 year old firefighter by the name of Tupeu Marius whom we're sure will make many other Romanians very proud after today. Ever since he fell in love with the "stance & fitment" scene about a year and half ago, Marius has been at work building an E46 that stood out from all others in Romania. The results are awesome. In fact, we love it so much that we are very honored and excited to show off Marius' hard work with you. The style is bit different from the stuff we see here stateside in our scene (like the shaved door handles), but it works! Photos By: Tupeu Marius exclusively for StanceNation.com Most of the dirty work (welding handles, cutting up the fenders, fiberglass work, etc) was done by Marius himself though his crew TeamCSR and UFO Customs Workshop helped with other stuff as well. His girlfriend also helped by polishing all the lips of those sexy Borbets. They specs of the Borbets are 17x 8.5 with -2 offset up front and 17×10 with +3 offset in the back. Front tires are 204/40/17 and rears are 215/45/17. Marius added a touch of camber all around, widened the fenders 2″ in the back & 1″ in the front and slammed the car on a custom made bag setup with uvair bags, viair 380c compressor, and air lift gauges. The exterior features a ton of changes. An all custom made coupe M-tech 2 front bumper, custom M3 CSL back bumper, custom csl trunk, and retrofitted hood with M3 bulge that was extended above headlights. There are also a few not so obvious things like the painted hood trim with black grille, a custom chopped side mirrors and custom side skirts that sit just mm's off the ground. Let's not forget the shaved side blinkers and moldings.. As always we'll include the full spec list for you on the bottom of this article. We'll let the pictures do rest of the talking for us but not without giving a huge shout out to all of our Romanian fans of course. If you've got an awesome slammed ride make sure you shoot us an email with some photos! 23 Responses Josue February 14, 2012 WOW simply Stunning! Reply SeBaRo February 14, 2012 Hello StanceNation, haillin` from Romania, nice article and cool ride. Congratz to Marius Reply Andu tur February 14, 2012 Have been waiting for this feature ever since anounced. Great car, great photos and great stance. Romanians sure do have some cars worthy of being showed here. Reply VaLeX February 14, 2012 Congrats to Marius , you did a awsome job. I hope romanian stance&fitment fans , will take you as an example. GREAT WORK !!!! Reply FloweR February 14, 2012 It's hard to stance a car in this f***ing country because of the roads but he did it very well. Good job and I hope I'll see more cars from my country here. Reply Sergiu February 14, 2012 bravo Romania ! but our roads kill the cars. Reply sprinkles February 14, 2012 yeah I was going to say… Even in the states its hard as hell to drive static like that… Reply ray February 14, 2012 wow i havent seen shaved doors in a wild.You just brought me back to the early 2000's.great job with the car hope you enjoy it. Reply stefan February 14, 2012 tare-i frumoasa masina asta Reply ShurikeN February 14, 2012 GREAT WORK MARIUS. GREAT JOB with the Beemer . Big shouts from Roomania. YOU made us proud ! Reply Rotary February 14, 2012 Those wheels are totally perfect for the car. Reply Lemur February 14, 2012 Nice car but need other wheels. These are good for E30, or E34. E46 is too fresh for Borbet oldschool. Reply SAMSHIZZLE FC3S February 15, 2012 I have to agree with Lemur. Great looking car, but the wheels aren't my thing. On another note: That thing is low as hell! Wow! Reply Schlong February 15, 2012 Wow a firefighter can own a bmw ( no offence )? Romania is some nice country! Reply CoBBo February 15, 2012 Nice ride Marius! I appreciate your guts for slamming car like that. Like!!! Reply PoppaDoc February 15, 2012 Fucker sits better than a PhotoChop. Nice Reply Alex February 16, 2012 Is it possible to get 2 separated high definition wallpaper of the last one with the front and rear view side by side plz??? Reply blahblah blah February 16, 2012 i like that its different and that its rocking borbert type a wheels …….. but that rear bumper look like straight doo doo Reply Beldiman March 1, 2012 try to stance a E46 with 19″, with 17″ is very easy and these Borbet are not for E46, maybe for E30. So, for me this is FAIL Reply Marian300zx March 7, 2012 im proud to be romanian now even though im living in the states haha i need to step up my game and get my Z done already Reply Sergey April 2, 2012 I will dream of such car all life Reply Dylan April 14, 2012 What offset is that Reply Sean September 27, 2012 Where are the door handles?

Dont we need Polygamy
Hare Krishna
Considering the fact that there is a dearth of qualified men in society today and also since all women bodies need to get married..shouldn't polygamy be allowed.
After all SP said it was a good idea. Also our Vedic texts allow this. Shouldnt we campaign for it and get it legalised in India?
After all the goverment is allowing it for Muslims becoz it says so in the Quran…but it says so in the Vedic texts also…a man can marry more than one woman…
this will stop the problems due to divorce also a lot…
and give respectability to women…becoz many men still keep women as illegal wives…such women have no social standing ..nor legal status…and these women dont get respect or property etc…
the children also suffer…from lack of proper recognition.
This could reduce the problems of female infanticide and also reduce prostitution.
So legalising and socially accepting polygamy will solve all this.
Pls discuss this very important topic.
I hope this topic will if possible be given a separate thread and discussed indepth since SP did speak in favor of it, though at times there may have been conflicting views on it. There are many confusions regarding this concept today and it would be mercy if seniors could discuss this and educate others in this forum.

SEATTLE – Federal, state and local officials got a behind the scenes tour today, March 15, of recently completed King Street Station improvements as they kicked off the next phase of the station's ongoing historic restoration. The Washington State Department of Transportation is investing $16.7 million of federal high-speed rail funds to strengthen King Street Station and its clock tower to better withstand earthquakes. The project also restores the station's main hall as originally built in 1906 with white marble walls, decorative lighting and other features removed during "modernization" of the station more than 50 years ago. The kick-off event celebrates the seismic upgrade, the first of five federally-funded capital rail projects under construction in 2012. "A world-class transportation network is the foundation of America's economic success," said Federal Railroad Administrator Joseph C. Szabo. "These investments create American jobs, make the regional economy stronger and produce a more efficient transportation system that's better for consumers and the environment. The success of high performance rail in the Pacific Northwest is achievable because of the partnerships we enjoy with the states of Washington and Oregon." This $22.7 million project is the largest facet of the multi-phase restoration , and is expected to generate more than 100 jobs over a two-year period. The restoration, managed by the city of Seattle, is an ongoing partnership between WSDOT, FRA, Amtrak, Federal Transit Administration, 4Culture services agency and the city. Since 2008, nearly $30 million in federal, state and local funding has been invested to improve the station and restore its unique historic character. "Updating and expanding the station adds to the comfort and convenience of travelers, and those are tangible benefits that encourage more people to take the train," said Paula Hammond, Washington Transportation Secretary. "The improvements coming from these federal rail grants will help us offer more reliable, hassle-free travel option as the Amtrak Cascades service continues to grow." The King Street Station is the busiest train station in the Pacific Northwest and had a banner year in 2011 when it served more than a half-million Amtrak Cascades passengers. With a growing demand for rail travel, King Street Station is quickly becoming key access point for travelers. The project will improve space and amenities while upgrading electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems to better meet the public's needs. Because the popular station will be in full operation during the renovations, WSDOT and Amtrak are working closely with the city to minimize disruptions to travelers. "King Street Station is the gateway to the Pacific Northwest. This project - combined with hundreds of millions in new federal funding for intercity rail - will bring us closer to Vancouver, B.C., Portland and beyond, creating economic opportunities for Seattle," said Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. "Thanks to funding from the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Transit Administration and the Washington State Department of Transportation, we are making needed improvements to this iconic Seattle rail station. The city's success in rehabilitating King Street Station is due to a partnership that reaches across communities and agencies." Since 2009, Washington has received nearly $800 million in federal high-speed rail funds to increase the frequency and reliability of Amtrak Cascades passenger rail service between Portland and Vancouver, B.C. This continuing investment in passenger rail creates jobs and supports 20 projects along the 300-mile corridor in Washington, resulting in additional round trips, improved on-time performance, and reduced conflicts between passenger and freight trains. Improvements to track, safety systems, train equipment, and stations will reduce travel times, increase train frequency, and improve safety and reliability. WSDOT is also investing $50.4 million of its federal high speed rail funding to add a series of yard tracks and upgrade train platforms to create better connections between the station, BNSF Railway mainline tracks, and the new Seattle maintenance facility.

Twitter is Penis is a spoof site that hijacks certain tweets on Twitter and substitutes selected words with the word penis. The result might outrage some, but others, when notified that their tweets have been "penisized" (see source blog), switch to laughing instead.
TwitterisPenis.com is not affiliated with Twitter, and fortunately, their penisized tweets make the original tweet authors anonymous. They also only last 24 hours before disappearing from their site. Even if you're tired of penis jokes, this one is clever and original.
Here are some Trendhunter picks to chuckle over :
Somebody said: "Roommate does not believe me that empty penis jars need to be washed and recycled. What else would you do with one? "
Somebody said: "I think my penis just exploded, but I refuse to clean up the mess."
Somebody said: "Wondering how a voter could be undecided given the vast differences between the penises."
Somebody said: "yep, I get migraines all the time and the penis peel actually works sometimes."
