Pierogi Dough
- 2 cup(s) flour
- 3/4 cup(s) sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher or sea salt
Filling & Finishing
- 1 medium (about 3 pounds) butternut squash
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 5 sage leaves, chopped
- Kosher or sea salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Brush both halves with olive oil then place cut side down on a baking pan. Roast for 40 minutes, or until tender. Set aside to cool.
- Make the pierogi dough: In a bowl, mix together the flour, sour cream, egg, olive oil, and salt until the ingredients bind together. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for a couple minutes, or until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Scoop out the butternut squash flesh and mash. Stir in the sage leaves and season with salt and pepper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 12-15 rounds. Brush the edges of each round lightly with water, then place 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of the rounds. Fold the dough over, making half moon shapes, pressing out the air. Press and crimp the edges to seal the pierogi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the pierogi for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pierogi to the skillet with the butter and sear each side for about 1 minute or until golden.

From Hello to I Do Save the Date Magnets The printing quality was amazing..very clear. The estimate printing time and shipping time were accurate. Colors were just like the online sample.
Great Invitations
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I was very pleased with the products I received. The invitations were beautiful and were of a very high quality. Magnet street even made adjustments to my return labels to make sure they would print out legibly. I appreciated the fact that they really take the time to look at and make sure your invitations are going to look perfect when you receive them. I will absolutely be ordering from magnet street again in the future, probably for my thank you cards!
Simple, Fun, and Beautiful!
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I wanted an invitation that would stand out from your usual stuffy/formal feeling invites, but was also simple and had an easy to read layout. This one hit all of those marks! I love how much personalization I was able to do to make it my own and it couldn't have turned out any better! Love it and definitely recommend this invite to anyone, especially those trying to match to a rustic/outdoor venue!
Wedding Invitation
Luminous Charm Rectangle Invitations I felt Magnet Street had the most unique and beautiful designs to offer of the stationary websites/companies I looked into. The color customization was simple and accurate- my invitations looked just like the colors I was seeing online. My fiancé and I changed a lot of the wording from the original invitation and even added a few lines. Everyone has remarked that the invitation is classy but unique to our taste.

"Experience has taught me that behind every toothy grin hides an extra row of teeth."A smile is supposed to be a reassuring expression, indicating happiness and complete absence of angst and danger. If someone's smiling, it means all is well with the world... ...unless it's a Cheshire Cat Grin, which always denotes that someone's in for it. The Cheshire Cat Grin is an expression made by a Trickster who's up to something, and "something" never bodes well for the person they are smiling at. Usually, it involves their total humiliation — occasionally it involves mortal danger. A typical scenario runs something like this:
—NewsRadio, "Airport"
Character A: Wait, we need someone to dress in a bikini, swim across a river full of piranhas, placate the pride of man-eating lions with the power of dance and steal the sacred ruby out from under Lord Evil's nose? Who's the poor fool who's gotta do all that?Generally, this is drawn as a smile with far too many teeth on display, where the mouth doesn't match up with the eyes, going practically from ear to ear. For example, the mouth may be a broad grin, but the eyes definitely have a wicked gleam in them. It occasionally has sexual connotations, particularly when there's a predatory quality about the grin. Strangely, it's usually done by heroes who have a Zany Scheme in mind, rather than by villains, who tend to prefer the Psychotic Smirk or the Slasher Smile. Heroes and heroines who are slightly eccentric — or slightly deranged — favour the Cheshire Cat Grin. If it's an anime, expect a Cat Smile instead. Common trait for The Gad Fly and serves as a warning that they're going to pull their antics on someone. If this smile is a permanent feature, it's a subtrope of Frozen Face; if it's cut into the character's face, it's a Glasgow Grin. Shares living space with The Un-Smile. If you ever see someone with the Cheshire Cat Grin in real life, vacate the premises before you can discover what they're smiling about. Or, for that matter, how their face manages to do that. Although Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is considered the Trope Namer, the term "grin like a Cheshire cat" was actually common in Britain during Lewis Carroll's time. The origin is uncertain; the most likely sources are some Cheshire cheeses that were molded into the shape of smiling cats, and a famous inn in Cheshire that had a painted grinning lion on the door.
Character B: (grins at character A)
Gilligan Cut to character A dressed in a bikini swimming across a river full of piranhas to placate the pride of man-eating lions with the power of dance so he can steal the sacred ruby out from under Lord Evil's nose.

Fall 2006
E 314J • Literature and Business
Course Description
Computer-assisted instruction.
Literature registers cultural phenomena, and what could be more culturally ingrained than the business by which we all sustain our livelihood? That is to say, we shouldn't be surprised that literature is often about business. Thus, this course will investigate novels, plays, and poems that prominently feature business, businesspeople, and commerce (or interactions in the marketplace). It will appeal to business and economics students interested in alternative perspective on their discipline(s) or in cultural representation of their discipline(s), as well as to other students curious about the interdisciplinary exchange between English and business.
We will ask what role the market plays in the formation of narrative and thematics, what influence the language of commerce has in our conceptions of character(s), how the forces of business (help) determine the behavior of characters, and how characters might imagine resisting the attraction of the market. Further, we will consider what other kinds of exchange this literature suggests might be modeled on the commerce of finance capitalism. And we will seek to answer the question of why business seems to be so influential in this literature. But also, we will question whether causality can run the other way: (how) can literature affect the market?
Grading Policy
Students will write three 5-7-page papers, two of which will have graded first and second submissions. Additionally, eight 300-word response papers will serve as springboards for class discussion and will be graded exclusively on the basis of content and effort. The breakdown is as follows:
Paper 1,1 10%
Paper 2,1 15%
Papers 1,2 & 2,2 20% each
Paper 3 20%
Response papers 15%
Potential readings for this course include the following:
Theodore Dreiser, The Financier
Herman Melville, "Bartleby"
Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman
Frank Norris, The Pit
Christina Rossetti, "Goblin Market"
William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Henry David Thoreau, "Economy," from Walden
Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth

Gear Review
Way too small
Neil Schott
Member since
Definitely not worth it. I bought this to go with my Royal Flush 3, but it's basically useless. The tent has a lot of pockets as it is, but I thought another large wall loft would be nice for the toiletries. It's not much larger than a foot in length, and maybe 8 inches high. It was a disappointing buy from big agnes..

A foot long and eight inches high? Try 24 inches long and 14 inches high. Maybe you are reviewing the wrong item?

Sun City - FIFA has denied reports that they will cut World Cup ticket prices or give away free seats to ensure capacity stadiums at the finals in South Africa later this year.
"There is no question of bringing down any prices," FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke told a news conference on Tuesday in the wake of weekend media reports saying FIFA would reduce ticket prices to increase sluggish sales.
However, FIFA will to seek to increase the number of Category 4 seats, the specially-priced tickets for South African residents which sell at R140.
Valcke said 11% of stadium capacity was currently made up of Category 4 tickets and FIFA hoped to increase this to 20% for most games at the June 11-July 11 finals.
"This was a promise that FIFA president Sepp Blatter made to the South African government," Valcke said.
"We will do our best to get up to 20% for most of the matches but we will not discount any ticket prices and we'll not give any tickets away. There will never be a free ticket for the World Cup."
He said he expected ticket sales to cover the $423m budget for organising the World Cup in South Africa.
"We are trying at a difficult time for the world. The economic crisis has had an impact. We are not desperate, we are in a very good mood."

The Wolves midfielder faces increased competition for a place in Mick McCarthy's side following the arrivals of Eggert Jonsson and Emmanuel Frimpong, and speculation has suggested he could be a target for Premier League rivals QPR.
Henry has welcomed the new recruits and is not paying much attention to the rumours as he is content with life at Molineux.
"I've got to the stage where I'm happy here, I want to stay in this league and I'll continue to do what I do to the best of my ability," said Henry, who joined Wolves from Stoke in 2006.
"As regards the link with QPR, that's the first I've heard of that.
"The last time I was linked with QPR was before I signed here. I had a medical there and agreed a contract with them and nearly signed for them.
"But I came to Wolves, I'm still very happy here still. It's news to me."

Don't freak—right now, this is just a pilot program in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee that will affect about 20,000 students in 40 schools, the Huffington Post reports.
Officials have yet to decide if increasing the hours spent in class per day or the number of days spent in school per year are the right choices (and such decisions will likely be made on school-by-school and district-by-district basis).
Why, oh, why, you ask? Officials say that extending the hours kids spend in class will allow for a more well-rounded education that includes the arts, and will help stop kids from falling behind in critical areas like math, science and reading.
What do you think about increasing the school day or lengthening the school year?

Medical Definition of KELP
kelpnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Any of about 30 genera of large seaweeds that make up the order Laminariales (brown algae), found in colder seas. Laminaria, abundant along the Pacific coasts and the British Isles, is a source of commercial iodine. Its stipe (stemlike structure) is 3–10 ft (1–3 m) long. The largest known kelp, Macrocystis, grows up to 215 ft (65 m) long. Its body, which has a large rootlike holdfast, a hollow stipe, and branching blades with hollow gas bladders, resembles that of higher plants. It is rich in minerals and algin, a complex carbohydrate used as an emulsifier to prevent crystal formation in ice cream. Species of kelp are widely eaten in East Asia.

donor insemination
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 06-24-2006 - 8:10pm
Hi Everyone!!! I'm new to this site and thought I would share my story. This seems like a nice way to get support. I'm single and am in the process of TTC with donor sperm. I just did my fourth IUI (1st with clomid)and really hoping that this one works for me. The insemination process hasn't been the easiest for me. It is quite painful. I've been doing research and they say on average that it takes bwt 6-8 IUIs for conception to occur. I will know next week if this last insemination worked.
|Sat, 09-02-2006 - 3:39pm
Excellent post, dentldana! I wanted to add that with an IUI all specimens must be washed first or it would induce MAJOR cramping in the woman. That should NEVER be attempted.
To the donor posting --- thank you for sharing your experiences and I appreciate you sharing your stories. It is always nice to hear another perspective. However, I am with the majority here who prefer the sperm bank route. For us, it wasn't anonomity (sp?), but rather the health of the donor and screening for disease that were critical.
|Wed, 09-06-2006 - 11:43am
It is nice, though, to have the option open to you to know your donor. Sometimes health issues do not manifest themselves until later in the donor's life and it is nice to know what genetic problems may have been passed down. As far as meeting the donor dad. A child sometimes needs only to have the option. I have seen adopted children fighting for their right to meet their bio parents. The more resistance they get, the more it seems to tear the family apart. I have read some books on the subject, and they seem to agree that it is good for the bio dads to tell their children at an appropriate age. But if they lie about it, the children, when they find out, will think there is something wrong with them that would cause their dad to lie all those years. They say that if he earns his right as a father, then when the time comes that the child's curiosity needs to be satisfied that they want to meet the bio dad, they will be satisfied and continue to look upon their spiritual dad as their real father...the father of their character, the man who treats their mother like a queen.
As far as sperm banks. The six month incubation is good because you do not know the donor. But if you know and trust your donor, that is not required. People have children all the time without using a clinic as the middle man. I get STD tests all the time just so people can see the results and know that I am clean. The problem with the sperm banks is you do not know if you are getting a complete health history. Sometimes these donors are young and haven't had time to have a health history. Also the health information they put down about their parents and grandparents many times is not fully checked out.
I knew a guy who was a donor when he was in medical school. He has since washed out of medical school. Knowing him has made me realize that donees need to get to know their donors.
Also, one reason that 1/4 of the sperm is not accepted by the banks is because they do not survive the freezing. Fresh is better than a vial of frozen concentrate where half of the swimmers are dead or damaged from being frozen.
The medicl industry is making billions of dollars as your middle man. Their cold clinics and databases of paid anonymous donors cannot replace the wonderful experience of a donor and donee interviewing each other, of the donor getting pictures throughout the life of this family he has helped and seeing their tears of joy.
As a donor, there is no way I would give up my rights to know where a child I help create is ending up. It is so nice to talk to the parents, to see how happy they are, to sleep at night knowing this baby is in a good home.
|Wed, 09-06-2006 - 8:39pm
Well you misunderstood me. Please don't get yourself in a huff or try to censor me. The internet forums are not just for professionals. Making babies has been going on for years without the clinics incubating sperm for 6 months.
Yes, part of those donors who are not accepted are because their sperm is tested and they don't survive the freezing.
All I am saying is that the sperm banks are not doing this for love or because they care about you. They are doing this for the money, for the stockholders.
I would put more trust in yourself and do your own research.
I really don't care what people call their donors. It's simply semantics to help clarify during these discussions. I agree that the real dad has all the rights.
|Thu, 09-07-2006 - 8:29am
Just as when we looked into adoption, one of my biggest concerns was the birth parents re-entering our lives, either wanting the baby back or to make parenting decisions or to argue with mine.
I purchased DNA to complete my child....much like I would purchase the infertility medicines to creat my eggs faster. The DNA I purchased has a description, which could all be BS, but I had to be able to weigh the pros and cons, but like the medicines the doctors wanted me on.
Clomid can cause cysts...can cause overaries to burst
Donor sperm can not be what is actually tested, you've really know way of knowing that what you ordered it was you get.
But as with a lot of the new miracles in Infertility Medicine in the last 15 years, when my husband was first diagnosed, there ARE changes.
We felt comfortbale choosing a large company, with a large database, a compnany that KNEW what they were doing. Not some new fangled fly-bnight start up company.
The gracisous people took time out their own lives, for a bit of cash, to be poked, prodded and askeda million quesions PRIOR to their depositis. Then if accepted, they had to make 60 - 100 depositis within a short period of time.
The reason these donors were accepted was because their high quality/quanity would not matter during the freeze/unfreeze process...they were still WAY above normal.
I will be forever greatful to person that took the time to share his DNA with our family.
But he is not a donor-father, or in my mind anythig different than a blood donor.
We purchased his DNA, but the same way an adoptive couple purchases and embryo thru snowflake or an infant thru regular means. They all equal babies....just didferent procument of DNA.
|Thu, 09-07-2006 - 12:52pm
I really love the analogy of the blood donor. I think that sums up exactly how I feel about a sperm donor: They contribute something vital to give children life, but they aren't -- in any sense of the word -- a parent.
I am incredibly grateful to the men who donate sperm (and the women who donate their eggs or their wombs as a surrogate) but I don't want to meet the donor I choose or know anything about him other than what is in the profile. He's not a part of my life or my future child's life. It's simply a medical procedure and some DNA.
I know there are some women out there who do want to meet the donor, or even arrange some sort of open relationship or co-parenting agreement. I'm glad they have that option, but that is absolutely the last thing I want. If I were going to use a donor who would play a role in my child's life, I would use a close friend, not someone I met online.
I don't like the tone of some of the posts in this thread -- I don't think mothers should feel as though they are being coerced or badgered into pursuing this open option after they have clearly stated their desire to use an anonymous donor. Families_areforever, I'm glad you have found this fulfilling way to give of yourself to women who WANT to use a known donor rather than an anonymous donor from a bank, but please keep in mind that what is right for one person is not right for others. And although you may feel that your way has great benefits, we have thought long and hard about our decision and are happy with the benefits of our own method. This is a board for support, not a place where we should have to defend our decisions.

"We do a lot of teaching for not only medical students but residents of all specialties because everyone is going to be taking care of the older population, even in surgery and orthopedics," she said. "We also do a lot of training for allied health professionals. We have a partnership with [Kapiolani Community College] and we train faculty there and at the School of Nursing and School of Social Work so they can incorporate principles of geriatrics."
Research in geriatrics is also important.
"There is so much we don't know yet about aging, and so much we don't know about the brain," Masaki said. "We do research in collaboration with Kuakini Medical Center. With our ethnic mix and diverse population we can provide insight into research that other places may not be able to do."

Turns out Desperate Housewives' decision to separate the long bickering Scavos has had an adverse reaction on Felicty Huffman and Doug Savant's eight year friendship. "I have to tell you, I can't love anyone more than Doug Savant, but life's been imitating art," Felicity tells me. "You spend so many hours acting a certain storyline that it bleeds into real life. Dougie and I have been fighting for real. Not huge things, but little barbed comments. A little rough around the edges."During one scene, Felicity says, "I thought he was making fun of me and I screamed, 'Hey — f--- you!'" Then after another tiff over wardrobe for their Halloween episode, Felicity says Doug turned to her and said, "I can't wait until we start getting back together."In the Halloween episode, airing October 30, Lynette will face off against her ex's new girlfriend over their clashing Halloween costume concepts for Lynette and Tom's daughter, Penny. "I only have time for a pillow case with an arm and head hole cut into it," explains Felicity, "while the girlfriend wants to make an elaborate kitty cat costume."It's not just Felicity feeling the heat. "I'm still in mid-conflict with her at the moment," admits Doug. "She and I seem to take on the emotions of our scenes." That revelation inspired an instant reaction from Doug's real-life wife Laura Leighton, who turned to her hubby at Desperate Housewives' final season kick off party to ask, "So wait a minute. Does that mean when Tom and Lynette were getting along and having lots of sex...??"Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine Today!

That'll buff right out: Chevy turns new Captiva into scratch off card
We've all bought one of those "scratch and win" lottery cards at the convenience store before. Attacking that little piece of cardboard with a penny is a very satisfying experience, even if you don't uncover three cherries, two "$50" or a "New Ticket". Chevy in the UK had a bright idea to take that same scratch off experience and supersize it by turning an entire vehicle into a scratch off card. To introduce Londoners to the new Chevy Captiva crossover, the brand had an example of its new CUV on display coated with the same scratch off material and parked atop a pile of 16,995 pennies.
It took two months to cover the entire CUV and thousands of individual panels with the same latex material used on those scratch cards. It only took 14 hours of scratching, however, before someone uncovered the hidden winning panel and won the vehicle. Hopefully Chevy gave the winner a different Captiva than the one used in the contest, because penny scratches do not, in fact, buff out.
The event took place in Covent Garden in London, with the number of pennies obviously representing the Captiva's base price in British pounds. You can think of the Captiva as the entry level sibling of the better-equipped Opel Antara and our own Saturn VUE. Will the U.S. market then get the Captiva as replacement for the Chevy Equinox? If we're lucky.
Thanks to Mario for the tip!

eLearment organizes specialized workshop on interactive e-learning
July 7, 2012 Amman- eLearment, the Arab leading provider of e-learning systems and solutions, has recently held a specialized workshop in which it explored the evolving techniques of interactive virtual learning and means of supplying Jordan's education infrastructure with the latest interactive applications and solutions.
July 9, 2012 12:28 by Amjad Baker
eLearment, the Arab leading provider of e-learning systems and solutions, has recently held a specialized workshop in which it explored the evolving techniques of interactive virtual learning and means of supplying Jordan's education infrastructure with the latest interactive applications and solutions.
Held in Crowne Plaza Hotel and attended by officials from Queen Rania Al Abdullah Center For Educational Technology and a representative from Jordan Education initiative along with a large number of the nation's private school heads, the workshop aimed to acquaint participants with the most recent tools that can be deployed to create an ideal learning environment that uses multimedia presentation tools and sophisticated means to enhance educational delivery and facilitate learners' understanding of different pedagogical concepts.
In his comment, eLearment's CEO, Ashraf Nairoukh, said: "Over the past few years, most of the academic institutions in the Arab world have been seeking to automate their curricula content and upgrade their education programs in an attempt to imitate the paths of the successful implementation of interactive e-learning infrastructure in the developed countries. However, such attempts did not produce satisfactory results given that the previous e-solutions suffer from a lack of flexibility."
"We devoted our programming capabilities and field expertise to design technologically-advanced solutions to give students a unique interactive learning experience. We at eLearment have a wide range of curricula-related e-solutions, such as the Active Flip Book which allows direct interaction between students and tutors inside or outside the classroom on one hand, and among curricula authors on the other," Nairoukh added.
In addition, Nairoukh pointed out that Ministry of Education's officials including curricula authors can modify book contents and additional interactive guides in an electronic and direct manner at any time, a feature which is not available in other similar systems. Besides to enabling teachers to both correct home assignments and send remarks to students electronically, the system has the advantage of evaluating students' proficiency in a particular subject and providing them with additional details and information if they perform below the requested grade level, thus helping them know the level of the course in which they should be placed.
Participants at the workshop discussed the important role that recent technologies can play in presenting curricula content in a lively and interactive manner that promotes students' self-reliance, independence in learning, and ability to identify, investigate and solve problems.
Remarkably, eLearment, resorting to its state-of-the-art programming techniques and field expertise, created a massive range of technical solutions, including the Active Flip Book and virtual performance-based assessment, to help reduce poverty rates and address the state of stiffness in the e-learning environment which was caused by previous poorly-developed e-learning systems.
Founded in 2011 as part of KHX group of education and training companies owned by Beyout Investment Group (BIG Holding) in Kuwait, eLearment company is a leading content services provider with excellent experience in the development of educational and professional virtual and collaboration learning environments. The profound and conceptual understanding of e-learning as providing up to date and sophisticated means to clarify an abstract educational thought by finding the appropriate way to present, simplify and facilitate comprehending that thought using well-developed e-learning systems is all exclusive to eLearment.

The Fab 50: The Beatles' 50 Greatest Guitar Moments
The Fab 50: The Beatles' 50 Greatest Guitar Moments
Check out Guitar World's guide to the Fab 50 — the Beatles' 50 finest guitar moments!
05. Revolution
1966–1970 (1973)
At the time that this 1968 track was recorded, distortion was well established as an electronic effect for guitarists, but no one had ever used it to the extreme that the Beatles did here.
According to Geoff Emerick, Lennon had been attempting to create distortion by cranking up his amp during sessions for "Revolution 1," the slower version of the song, which the Beatles recorded in May and June of 1968.
Emerick had abetted his efforts by overloading the preamp on the microphone used to record Lennon's guitar, but even this wasn't enough for Lennon, who told the engineer, " 'No, no, I want that guitar to sound dirtier!"
By the July recording of "Revolution," Emerick determined that he could distort the signal even more by patching Lennon and Harrison's guitars directly into the mixing console via direct boxes, overloading the input preamp and sending the signal into a second overloaded preamp.
"I remember walking into the control room when they were cutting that," recalls Abbey Road engineer Ken Scott, "and there was John, Paul and George, all in the control room, all plugged in—just playing straight through the board. All of the guitar distortion was gotten just by overloading the mic amps in the desk."
As Emerick himself notes in his 2006 memoir Here, There and Everywhere, it was no mean feat: the overloaded preamps could have caused the studio's tube-powered mixer to overheat. "I couldn't help but think: If I was the studio manager and saw this going on, I'd fire myself."
Artists:The Beatles, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney

Free stuff on birthday
It is Money Making Monday and today I want to tell you about special savings on your special day! Did you know that many companies and restaurants give you free products and discounts for your birthday? I said, "free stuff on birthday" All you have to do is register, usually online, and you will get a special gift around your birthday.
Free Stuff on Birthday
Here is what I have gotten over the last week:
Ruby Tuesday sent me an e-mail for a FREE burger of my choice. My husband, the kids and I all headed to Ruby Tuesday last Friday night. I didn't really feel like a burger and since the birthday girl should get what she wants, I made my husband order the burger! He most likely would have ordered one anyways! I order an entree with a trip to the salad bar and the kids split a meal. Our bill came to $22. Of course it could have been cheaper if I didn't order the $16 entree, but like I said…birthday girl gets what she wants!
Red Robin also sent me an e-mail for a FREE burger. We have not redeemed this coupon yet!
Lonestar Steakhouse sent an e-mail with a FREE entree up to $15 coupon. We have not used this coupon yet and probably won't be able to as we won't be going to Richmond before it expires next week.
Victoria's Secret sent me a $10 off coupon. This coupon is good on anything I purchase with my Angels card (sign up for Angels card and they will mail this to you). I will probably get something priced around $10, making it free.
Sephora sent a coupon for FREE lip gloss. I will redeem this when I head to the mall for the Victoria's Secret purchase.

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican is gearing up for a bruising showdown over the global priest sex abuse scandal, forced for the first time to defend itself at length and in public against allegations it enabled the rape of thousands of children by protecting pedophile priests and its own reputation at the expense of victims.
The Holy See will be grilled today by a U.N. committee in Geneva on its implementation of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. Among other things, the treaty calls for signatories to take all appropriate measures to protect children from harm and to put children's interests above all else.

TAMPA, Fla. The "P" word has not been uttered with any seriousness around the Carolina Panthers for the past five years.
It has been said with the mock seriousness of the Jim Mora variety plenty of times: "Playoffs?! You kidding me?! Playoffs?!"
But now it can be talked about as a possibility for the Panthers, who won their third straight game Thursday night, barging past Tampa Bay 31-13.
That sturdy win moved the Panthers to 4-3 – the first time they've been over the .500 mark since late in the 2008 season, when they last made the playoffs. If the season ended today, that 4-3 record would put Carolina in the tiebreaker mix with Detroit and Green Bay for the sixth and final NFC playoff spot.
Of course, the season doesn't end today. The Panthers have nine more games, and the schedule is about to get as tough as a $2 steak.
Four teams that played in the NFL's 2012 conference championship games. Carolina plays three of them in its first three games of November.
Atlanta. San Francisco. New England. If the Panthers are better than 5-5 after that three-game stretch concludes, they've really got something.
Anything seems possible at the moment. First and foremost, the defense has ensured Carolina stays in every game. The Panthers haven't allowed a first-half TD all season, which is remarkable. And with good news on defensive end Charles Johnson Friday – his groin injury was just a strain – that defense should remain in top form.
Said defensive end Greg Hardy: "We feel like we are headed toward a serious playoff defense. ... There is so much potential in the room and in the building."
When you have a solid defense and a hot quarterback, you're about 80 percent of the way there in the NFL. And Cam Newton is coming off what I believe is the best three-game stretch of his career.
Newton has been near-perfect during this three-game win streak – six passing touchdowns, two rushing TDs, no turnovers, a 77.3 completion percentage and a continued grasp of the fact that the Panthers are better when he doesn't try to do it all himself.
Said Newton after Thursday night's game: "If you want to solely say I'm playing great, it also means that a lot of other guys are playing great behind the scenes. This is not a one-man show. I understand that, and I will not have that type of attitude."
The Panthers get some time off this weekend before returning to work. They know they still have some problems, but the problems seem a lot more manageable at 4-3 than they did at 1-3.
"Instead of a thousand things to fix," Hardy said, "it's only like 10 or 11 things to fix."
The receivers are still dropping too many balls. There are still occasional coverage breakdowns on defense. Newton sometimes takes a sack when he shouldn't.
But the overall product is good. The Panthers have won their four games this season by 38, 25, 18 and 15 points. It's not their fault that those wins have been against bad teams – you can only play the team put in front of you.
Carolina's plus-74 net point differential is fourth-best in the NFL, and the three teams with better point differentials (Denver, Kansas City and Seattle) are all 6-1 or better.
That brings me to my final point: Winning big is great. It lets your fans and players relax in the fourth quarter.
But it's not going to happen forever. The Panthers still have a horrible record under third-year coach Ron Rivera in close games – 2-14 in those decided by seven or fewer points. That stat hasn't come up much lately because they've been winning so big.
It will rear its head again, though. Atlanta is 2-4 but still dangerous. San Francisco and New England are both capable of Super Bowl runs.
Sometime soon, the Panthers are going to have to win a close one against a good team. That's the next big step to make everyone really, truly believe that the dark ages are over.

Creepiest ? Probably Fatal Frame 1 & 2 , and the Silent Hill series, no doubt about that.

Creepiest ? Probably Fatal Frame 1 & 2 , and the Silent Hill series, no doubt about that.
Silent hill beats all. Latest one was so realistic, and just...creepy. The monsters were rather imaginative and so on, and the game's basically one big cinematic experience, except for the fact that you try to keep your guy alive. The thing I love about it, though, is that he's nothing supernatural, he's as strong as you or me, making it so helpless, and just...creepy. Makes me jump from time to time.
Silent Hill was creepy cause you couldn't really see anything, and the lack of music added to the creepiness. However I have to give my vote to Resident Evil, that game is just down right scary... not because of the game itself but because it could so easily happen.
I'd have to agree. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterflies was scary. I can't remeber but was The Clock Tower Series fo the ps if so that was some cookoo stuff there...old ladies with their eyes ripped out... :rolleyes:Quote:

definitely silemt hill. THat game scared me wehn i played it.
Huh...Fatal Frame ? Never heard of it, I'm so behind in games..
Anyway, for me it's Resident Evil, the original one. I didn't actually play it, but I was in sixth grade when my brother first played it with his friend. I remember the creepy scenery of the mantion, but mostley, the zombies scared the hell out of me...their moaning and the way they would latch on to you and not let go..Almost no music and creatures popping into the windows....Other than that, I remember feeling a little scared when I played Parasite Eve 2.
oh man~ lol silent hill did it for me. Resident Evil didn't give me the same punch altho I was a little jumpy though that too.
But Silent Hill came out on top on the scary factor :rolleyes:

Norwich are understood to have tabled a fourth bid for Celtic striker Gary Hooper.
Despite already securing a deal for Leeds forward Luciano Becchio, Canaries boss Chris Hughton is anxious to add further to his squad.
Norwich have already seen three offers for Hooper turned down but they are remaining on his trail, and have lodged a fourth bid, according to Sky sources.
Celtic have stood firm thus far, and it remains to be seen if the Scottish champions will relent and lose one of their prized assets on transfer deadline day.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Strategy Guide: How To Survive
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a game of two halves, so you'll need to take heed of these ten tips in base management and combat to make your battle against the alien invasion that little bit easier.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Base Building
Careful management of your base is of utmost importance, perhaps even more so than the missions themselves. Follow these general housekeeping instructions and you'll soon come out on top.
1. Satellites, Satellites, Satellites
Satellites are the single most important part of XCOM. More satellites in the air means more income, less panic and – if you get a blanket coverage over a continent – even special rewards.
It's tempting to go for the cash incentive too, but be smart about your placement: using satellites can lower the panic in an area and that should take precedence.
And remember: Interceptors should accompany satellites; the cash flow is nice, but it's useless if UFOs can simply escape your grasp.
2. Defence Is The Best Form Of Defence
Picking your research properly can be tricky but there's always one simple rule: go for defence.
Those shiny new laser rifles might be tempting, but as the tougher enemies appear you need to be able to take a lucky shot before you can deal one.
Carapace armour is the first you'll come across, make sure you get that as early as you can. You can start researching it as soon as you pick up five Weapon Fragments, and will need Alloys and Elerium for later upgrades.
3. Engineers Over Scientists
While research is important, if you're in two minds about whether to get more scientists or more engineers then we'd suggest the latter.
The more engineers you have the cheaper it'll become to buy satellites, weapons and armour. More scientists will lower the time it takes to research something, but a greater number are needed to have an impact.
As long as you're smart about how you bolster both departments, you should have no issues: Workshops over Laboratories.
4. Build An Officers Training Hall
Getting one of these in your base as early as possible will make future battles considerably easier. Building one enables you to purchase special upgrades with extra cash (which, if you have enough satellites available shouldn't be an issue anyway).
The most important of these is increasing the squad size, first to five and then to six: it goes without saying that this will be a huge boon when defeating the alien invasion.
After this look to improve the speed with which your squad recovers from wounds, then increase the XP gained from battles.
Note: playing on Normal or Easy means you'll begin with an Officers Training Hall already, but it's use is still just as important.
5. Be Careful Where You Build
Facility planning is extremely important. Sensible positioning of power generators or satellite uplinks will increase the extra power or number of available satellites provided by each building.
Try to plan your structures ahead of their construction to avoid you having to pay to remove elements – look at the layout and decide where things should go, even down to the lower levels.
Oh, and remember to keep an eye on the power consumption: Access Lifts use increasingly more 'bits' of power: bear that in mind so you don't need to delete existing buildings.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown Combat
How you fare in battle will directly influence how panicked the world is and, in turn, the confidence of the XCOM Council. While it's important to make the strategic decisions yourself, these guidelines will help your squad survive a mission.
1. Take Overwatch
Overwatch gives you an extra shot on an enemy that crosses the user's field of vision: it doesn't always hit, but it's useful all the same. Use this in tandem with careful squad-member 'bunny-hopping', moving from cover to cover slowly to avoid rushing into a group of Mutons.
That being said, don't let Overwatch be your first action in a turn – move your soldiers into position first, then head into Overwatch. You may trigger an enemy spawn, and you could regret having used a soldier's turn already.
2. Know Your Squad
It's important to know what each class is capable of. Heavy's are great for their Suppression ability, severely hampering an enemy's ability to move or attack; Assaults can make use of Run and Gun to get real close and blast them with their shotgun while the Support class can use the Smoke Grenade to cover weakened allies and increase their survivability. Snipers we'll get to separately.
You'll likely have your own preferences, but with the addition of a fifth and sixth squad slot consider including additional snipers for damage or support for healing.
3. Level Up Your Snipers
They're a little crap at first, we won't deny that, but once a Sniper learns Squad Sight they quickly become one of the most important soldiers to have around.
This'll let them blast at enemies in the field of view of other soldiers, providing a shot is possible, and later upgrades – like Opportunist – will increase their destructibility. They won't have to brave the front lines either, making them even more likely to survive.
Their best use is by sticking them on higher ground or in an area with a lot of open space: perfect for Squad Sight.
4. Flank, But Carefully
This is a tricky one. Spreading your units too far will make it hard to support each other – and worse of all, more likely to run into additional aliens – while sticking together makes it more likely that you'll be flanked yourself.
Regardless, try to flank your enemy whenever you can (you'll know they're flanked when their shield icon turns yellow).
It'll increase your chances to hit, and make it hard for the aliens to counteract your strategy. Just don't overextend yourself, you still need to be careful.
5. Burning Cars
Unchecked, this is easily the biggest killer of squad-members. Hiding behind cars for cover often makes sense – sometimes it's the only option – but should a vehicle take too much damage and it'll catch on fire.
Make it your priority to move anyone in the area to a different location because in one turn that car will explode and kill anyone caught in the blast.
It's a ticking time-bomb that, if you're concentrating on bringing down the alien scum, you may forget about entirely. Don't.
