I am talking about Dish dropping channels "to keep the customers cost low". I just don't believe it.
Dish and DirecTV's regular packages look close in price to me. What am I missing?
Posted 26 August 2012 - 07:35 PM
First of all, you're missing your own point when you use phrases like "DISH puts more in THEIR pocket". As shown, their profits are relatively low - and when providers ask for "a few pennies per day" that adds up. They have managed to keep their prices lower. Sometimes that means not having the higher priced channels as part of their packages.I am talking about Dish dropping channels "to keep the customers cost low". I just don't believe it.
Dish and DirecTV's regular packages look close in price to me. What am I missing?
What you may be missing are built in price increases ... contracts that specify a higher price be paid for the channel each year for the length of a long contract. DISH must adjust their prices to cover those automatic increases. Dropping a channel doesn't mean DISH's cost for other other channels doesn't keep going up.
And you may be missing replacement content ... in some cases DISH has replaced a dropped channel with another channel and has to pay the second channel. Any savings would be diminished (except for customers who subscribe to "everything" ... but those customers also get all the new channels and rate increases are often not as sharp).
It is a complicated situation.

I may be wrong, but I really get the feeling that Dish gets a pass for a lot of the crap they do under the "they are looking at for the consumer banner". I really don't they get ripped in this forum like they should, but it is your house, I am just visiting.
Posted 26 August 2012 - 08:42 PM
The trend I seem to be seeing with Dish is dropping channels and putting the savings in their pockets. First AMC and now potentially the big 10 network. Ugh.

I compared pricing on similar packages every year, and for the same general packages pricing was very similar.
Must not have checked this year.....

I didn't but I will. The tricky part is making sure its apples to apples.
Posted 27 August 2012 - 06:27 PM
I will say this about Dish and sports: they are more generous than most providers in our area when it comes to regional coverage. We are in the middle of nowhere, and we get Foxmw, which gives us KC and St. Louis coverage, Fox North, which gives us Minn coverage, and CSNCH, which give us Chicago coverage. Since we have fans of teams from all of those areas it's great. I'm a huge White Sox fan, so to live 8 hours away and still get them here is pretty awesome. By contrast, the local cable only gives you Fox North, and I'd have to check DirectTV but I doubt they are so generous.
I can pretty much assure you they ARE - you can check it here yourself:

Yes, agreed.....
Posted 27 August 2012 - 06:57 PM
That site gives me one channel (CSN Chicago) in Choice ($63.99 regular) unless I subscribe specifically to the Sports Pack or Premier. DISH also includes FSN Midwest in AT120+ ($49.99 regular).I can pretty much assure you they ARE - you can check it here yourself:
BTW: The closest "apples to apples" is DISH AT200 for $59.99 vs DirecTV Choice for $63.99.
AT250 for $69.99 vs Choice Xtra for $68.99 or Choice Ultimate for $74.99 would also be good for "channels for $$$" comparisons.
The low end AT120 $44.99 vs Entertainment $54.99 and high end AEP $104.99 vs Premier $114.99 have a larger price difference.

Do you view that as a huge difference or more or less the same?
Do we consider DBS a luxury item?

Posted 28 August 2012 - 02:35 AM
But, if Big Ten and Dish come to an agreement, I would take that as a potential positive sign for Pac-12 at some point, though perhaps not in time for the start of the season.

Well w/out you (or fudpucker) giving me the specific zip code(s) you're using, I can't tell what you're talking about.
I CAN tell you about MY zip code of 62704...BOTH DISH & DirecTV give us CSN Chicago AND FS Midwest St.Louis - with NO blackouts - & without needing to purchase the extra cost (RSN) "sportpaks". And except for a couple (very small) cable co around us, all the cable co. provide the same, duplicate RSN coverage in our area.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 09:13 AM
Most people don't give a rats rear end about college football. What few who do can go elsewhere and Dish will be fine. You overestimate your influence.
This could not be more wrong. CFB is a big deal, especially for fans out west who have (essentially) one league and thus one network to ensure complete coverage. SLC, Denver, LA, SF, Portland, Seattle. These are big markets.

The national wellness/fitness expert has paved her own path in health just as her infamous son, Vince, has in acting.
Shea Vaughn is passionate about helping Chicagoans blast the fat and recently created a new project to start people on a healthier initiative for 2013. Years ago, Ms. Vaughn realized that books and videos weren't the answer to solving the obesity epidemic; rather, by putting her experience into action and working with teams of those concerned, something great could happen. EnterHealthy Initiative Chicago. With her dance and fitness credentials in hand, Ms. Vaughn wanted to start Healthy Initiative Chicago to help create ambassadors for the city's youth. "What's in the refrigerator at home isn't the child's fault," she says. "Parents are the ones who shop and make the choices; we need them to get involved." For Ms. Vaughn, it's a natural move to create a program that helps men and women achieve their best self, as children will follow their lead.
Healthy Initiative Chicago raises awareness about the obesity epidemic with donations to fund Give a Little Does A Lot – a newly established 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports education, fitness and nutrition programs for Chicago children and schools. "It's so important to target our children because they're the future of our nation," explains Ms. Vaughn. "It's the first time in history that our children are predicted to not outlive their parents. I had to do something."
Therefore, 40 Chicagoans were selected to renew their health and start making changes through Healthy Initiative, which provides personal attention and training for three months. The participants, comprised of men and women, were selected based on their attitude and commitment to follow the program, which includes exercising daily or at least five times a week. They also made a commitment to changing their diet and eliminating any modified products, such as dairy, and were provided meal plans and exercise options as well as personal training.
Each participant received a one-year membership from xSport Fitness, nutritional and fitness assessment, home gym package by Spri Exercise, nutritional book, Sheanetic classes with Ms. Vaughn, small group exercise classes and training from Ms. Vaughn, personal trainer Stephanie Mansour and trainers at xSport Fitness. They also take part in other education and motivational seminars.
"We feel that we have a solution that's sustainable," Ms. Vaughn says regarding these individuals, who are working on trading in their unhealthy habits for a new look and body for 2013. "The concept behind Sheanetics is that it's as much mental strength as physical strength, and with the right mindset people can turn their lives around." Plus the participants received all the support, a gym membership and training for free!
Once training is completed, Ms. Vaughn is planning a Red Carpet Celebration Gala for February 2013, with each participant receiving a new outfit by designer Mark Roscoe. This charity fundraiser will provide an opportunity for the ambassadors to share their story and inspire others to make changes.
But this initiative doesn't stop in Chicago. Ms. Vaughn's vision is to establish these types of programs and fundraising efforts throughout the country. It's a challenge, but Shea Vaughn knows that when you dream big, dreams can come true.

IOWA CITY - State charges will be filed against University of Iowa wrestler Ethen P. Lofthouse Bottorff—commonly known as Ethen Lofthouse--after an October 4 incident, in which a duck was shot in his backyard.
Iowa City police and a DNR officer responded Friday afternoon to a complaint of residents shooting arrows at a duck in the yard of a home on Jema Court. The residence is near Willow Creek Park on the city's west side.
Police say the duck had been shot and taken into the garage. They say Lofthouse admitted he had shot the mallard duck; that he intended to eat it.
Police cited Lofthouse with discharge of his bow, in violation of a city projectile ordinance and for maintaining a prohibited animal; without necessary permits; in this instance lack of proper hunting or migratory bird stamps or fees.
Lofthouse was cited by the DNR for illegally taking the duck; out of season and without required federal and state migratory bird stamps. Additional questioning led to five counts of failure to register harvested deer with the DNR.
Officers say Lofthouse shot the deer while taking part in the city of Coralville deer management zone hunt, which has been underway since September 14. Deer hunters who harvest a deer in any Iowa season or management zone hunt must register that harvest with the Department of Natural Resources before midnight, the day after it is tagged.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 12/1/2001
We've acknowledged time and again that General Motors' full-size truck platform, which has spawned superb pickups and full-size SUVs, including the second-generation Escalade that arrived earlier this year, is the best thing to come out of GM since the C5 Corvette. Perhaps we shouldn't complain, then, if Cadillac takes that platform's Suburban components, shakes them up in the product-development blender, and pours an Escalade EXT into our parfait glass.
We will point out, however, that if you're enamored of the Escalade EXT's ingenious Midgate concept--wherein this three-ton Cadillac slickly transforms from a five-passenger pickup with a small bed into a two-passenger pickup with a large bed--that feature is also available in the much cheaper Chevrolet Avalanche. What the Avalanche doesn't have, though, is the Caddy's Vortec 6000 V-8, which musters 60 more ponies than its Chevy sibling and 45 more than the Lincoln Blackwood, the EXT's most obvious competitor. Cadillac's other exclusives include StabiliTrak skid and traction control, standard electronically controlled dampers, all-wheel drive, and a full-luxe interior.
There's no denying the EXT's versatility and utility: The cargo area is lined with a thick, removable protective pad; the three-piece, reconfigurable cargo cover is both lightweight and sturdy; and the rear quarter-panels each enclose an insulated cargo hold with drainage, perfect for iced tailgate-party beverages or the catch from a fishing trip. And the EXT isn't bad to drive--we hustled it over a twisty road in California far faster than we expected to.
Still, we wonder what vehicles such as the Escalade EXT and the Blackwood portend for the future of American luxury cars. Sure, Cadillacs and Lincolns should be bold and brassy, but shouldn't they also be beautiful?

I'm big into Child Passenger Safety, you know, proper use of child seats, extended rear facing, extended harnessing that sort of thing. It would be great if someone could make a kit about this. If needed I could send links to sites that state the recommended usage.
A few examples are that the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends keeping your children in the rear facing position until 2 years old and 30lbs. Also the very minimum for your child to use just the seat belt is 4' 9". Right now the law in most, if not all states is your child has to stay rear facing until 1 year old AND 20lbs, not 1 year OR 20lbs.
Also if it could be commercial or personal use for no extra charge would be great also.
Thanks to anyone who can do this.

I've been using Splenda granular for years now for most of my cooking. While it does a good job of sweetening things, the flavor of brown sugar has been something that sweeteners haven't been able to replicate. While Splenda offers its own "brown sugar blend", it's simply a mixture of regular Splenda and brown sugar - something that anyone can do at home in a few seconds. When I spotted SugarTwin Brown Sugar Substitute - which actually is a 0-calorie sweetener, I thought I'd found a new pantry staple.
I decided the best way to try the sweetener would be in oatmeal - that way, nothing else would compete with the flavor. I poured some into my bowl - it really looks like any other sweetener, except dingy brown in color. I added my cooked oatmeal and stirred up the bowl. I took a bite and my first thought was ... "Oh my GOD, I think I just poisoned myself!" This is absolutely the worst, foulest, most vile concoction that dares call itself a sweetener on earth! It's not sweet AT ALL; instead tastes bitter, metallic, and chemical-y. I managed two bites of my oatmeal and couldn't finish the rest. Teaches me not to mess with what nature intended! Even when I dumped some of this near an anthill in my yard, the critters blithely ignored it - you know that can't be good.
a 1 tablespoon serving of SugarTwin Brown Sugar Substitute provides no calories , no sodium, no protein. The ingredients are maltodextrin, sodium saccharin, calcium chloride, caramel color, artificial flavor. It's notable that SugarTwin uses yellow packaging, like Splenda, but contains saccharin, such as NutraSweet. Curious marketing.
A 50 oz. box cost me $1.30, which is actually pretty cheap for a sweetener, however, you would sooner pay me to drink motor oil than eat something containing this again. I cannot describe how AWFUL this was! I swear I can sill taste it, even after brushing my teeth and drinking some peppermint tea.

The seasonal menu at Pomegranate Bistro is Lisa Dupar's expression of local fresh ingredients. The addition of the recently opened Pom Bar gives the folks in Redmond a reason to stay local, rather than cross the bridge into Seattle. There's amazing comfort food on the menu and fabulous tasty baked goods to suite just about all tastes. We also walked away with the Diva on Redmond dining's cookbook: 2011 IACp Award Winning "Fried Chicken and Champagne," available on Jessica's Biscuit and Amazon.
We had a memorable trip and visit with Lisa and Jonathan and look forward to taking them on a culinary journey of Chicago on their next visit. Check out the photo gallery below!

It's about to be the Fourth of July. Again. Our town was here before the American independence from Britain, but we're not counting that, because we weren't in the country then anyway. Heck, some people think we're still not really American! And we had our own war, in a way, here—the War of 1812, featuring the famous Battle of New Orleans. That war in many ways made America a unified country, and we're celebrating the bicentennial of that this year.
Nonetheless, we love the Fourth of July. With the Mississippi River as the launching pad, we set off fireworks from dueling barges (we used to have duels here, too, under the famous Dueling Oaks in Audubon Park). We call that one Go Fourth on the River, and you can get a terrific view from ACROSS the river in Algiers Point. But the official location is Woldenberg Park, and it's free. The fireworks show this year is Sunday at 9PM.

I've recently created a tool to automate the testing of Weapons vs. Vehicle Targets in Only War. (with Runtime, without Runtime).
I used this tool to create an extensive table of common Anti-Tank Weaponry and typical Imperial Vehicles.
The Table can be found here.
It's currently Work in Progress but the Front Facing hits are all done. Due to its sice I won't post the table in the forum but once I'm completly done I might pick out some interesting results and talk about them.

'People's Attorney' radio show host indicted in $10 million mortgage fraud
BY KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 28, 2013 1:34PM
Updated: March 1, 2013 7:49PM
He styles himself "The People's Attorney" and claims 3 million listeners tune in to hear his brand of black empowerment on his nationally-syndicated radio show.
But the feds say Soul 106.3 personality Warren Ballentine is also a fraudster behind a $10 million mortgage scam.
Ballentine, whose show is also carried on WVON radio, was indicted on Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges he duped lenders by using false information to secure loans on more than two dozen homes.
The 41-year-old lawyer lives and broadcasts from Durham, N.C., but grew up on the South Side and previously lived in south suburban Country Club Hills, where he maintains a law office. His radio show is picked up by urban radio stations nationwide.
He's charged with two counts of bank fraud, two counts of making false statements to lenders, and one count each of mail fraud and wire fraud. His indictment seeks forfeiture of nearly $9.8 million.
According to the indictment, Ballentine conspired with others to buy homes with fraudulently obtained mortgages in Chicago and suburbs including Monee, Woodridge, Mokena, Country Club Hills, Richton Park, and Markham between 2004 and 2006.
He is due in court on Feb. 5. Though he could not be reached for comment, he has posted several notes on his Facebook page in recent days that appear to refer to his legal troubles.
"Now I know for sure they have a witch hunt out for me," he wrote in one note. "This is about to be a fight for my life. They will try and take everything from me but I will find out who my true friends are who my brothers are and who really are truthfighters and in my corner I know I'm GOD'S child!!"
In another, he posted a link to a video called the "COINTELPRO: The FBI's War on Black America."
In a third, he wrote, "Love me when I don't deserve it, because that's when I really need it."
If convicted, he faces up to 30 years behind bars and a $1 million fine.
WVON program director Todd Ronczkowski said WVON will continue to broadcast Ballentine's show in the 3 a.m. - 6 a.m. slot as long as it remains in syndication.

Scientific Research
Scientific Research
Since 1960, the Scientific Research Department of The Corning Museum of Glass has pioneered the application of numerous scientific techniques to the examination of historical glass artifacts and to the study of the history of glassmaking. Some of this research has focused on the Museum's collections, but most of it has been conducted in collaboration with archaeologists and scientists from all over the world. The findings of this research have been shared in more than 190 publications on the archaeology, chemistry, and conservation of glass. Many of these publications are now out-of-print or originally appeared in sources that are no longer readily accessible.
The Museum's searchable database brings this scholarship to the attention of scholars and scientists who might not otherwise be aware of it. Approximately one quarter of the content is accessible in full-text format. Publications not available in full-text may be accessed through the Museum's Rakow Research Library.

Order Information
In the boomtowns of the Alaska- Yukon stampedes, where gold dust was common currency, the rarest commodity was an attractive woman, and her company could be costly. Author Lael Morgan takes you into the heart of the gold rush demimonde, that "half world" of prostitutes, dance hall girls, and entertainers who lived on the outskirts of polite society. Meet "Dutch Kate" Wilson, who pioneered many areas long before the "respectable" women who received credit for getting there first ... ruthless heartbreakers Cad Wilson and Rose Blumkin ... "French" Marie Larose, who auctioned herself off as a wife to the highest bidder ... Georgia Lee, who invested her earnings wisely and became one of the richest women in the North ... and Edith Neile, called "the Oregon Mare," famous for both her outlandish behavior and her softhearted generosity.
"An important and entertaining addition to gold rush literature." --Klondike historian Pierre Berton
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lael Morgan is an award-winning writer, historian, photographer, and journalist who has written numerous books about Alaska, including the popular ART & ESKIMO POWER. She was named Alaska's historian of the year in 1998 for her work on GOOD TIME GIRLS.

HHR Real World MPG Numbers
laserblue Posts: 313Go see that "Bozo" who told you to lubricate the window tracks and ask him to find it in your HHR owners manual.
For years I had power windows on all my cars and trucks and never had or did lubricate them.
This guy must have put something weiiiird in his pipe. WOW!
This is the dumbest thing I've heard regarding power windows. -
elias Posts: 1,964the window must have become misaligned from the tracks inside the door.
it happens. but usually to old volkswagen jettas, from what i've heard.
as for the kid-mechanic with the messy lubricate-window idea, i appreciate his brute-force wd-40 approach but i'll say what we are all thinking: 'fry cook'. -
sda Indian Land, SCPosts: 353Just completed our third trip this summer. Have driven 10000 miles since Feb 2010. This summer has been hot in the southeast, so I have used the air non-stop. And its a good one. Getting between 23-25 mpg in my day to day driving. This is down 2mpg when use the a/c sparingly. Drove to the beach and back and got 29.5, to Pittsburgh and back 29, and most recently a 250 round trip and got 30.5. In all cases my wife and 9 yr old and baggage. Freeway travel 70-75 mph. And hills to maintain speed which on occassion caused a downshift and maintain rpm at 3500+ rpm. So I haven't really been easy on it, but I haven't flogged it either. Would lilke to get better mpg, but still satisfied. And runs like a champ.
2010 Pilot EXL-RES, 2013 Accord EX
laserblue Posts: 313Got my 2010 HHR 2LT (new) in May and in June I took it on it's first highway trip.
Made 375 miles but still taking it easy on it 55 - 60 mph with a/c on, I got 32.2 m/p/g (not the DIC) the real calculation.
No matter what people say, I still believe in that "break-in" period.
Next month we're doing a cross country trip, approx 6,000 miles (two way). I presently have 1,240 miles did my first oil change, probably to soon but the other one will be done on the west coast before coming back. During my trip, I don't plan to go over 68 m.p.h.
By the way...thanks sda for your reply on my question about tire p.s.i. on the other post. -
lulu76 Posts: 12I am a little obsessive about fuel economy so I mentally check every time I fill up. Most days I do "in-town driving," stop-and-start traffic on the Interstate (rarely getting to 55/mph) and on surface streets going 30-35. On tanks that is all in-town driving, I usually get anywhere from 22.5 mpg to 26 mpg. I generally average 25-26 mpg in town.
For highway driving, where I try to set the cruise on 68-73, depending on the speed limit, I can get 28-31 mpg. On a recent trip back to Ohio, it was closer to 32, which was the best that I have gotten.
Just make sure to keep your oil changed (I range around 3,000 to 4,500 miles max), and your air and fuel filters clean and good tire pressure, and you will get good gas mileage. I have a 2008 2LT with the 2.4L engine. I only use 87 octane gas because my best friend used to be an engineer at ExxonMobil and he told me to stick with 87, so I do.
Before my HHR, I always drove Cavaliers but also always had the 2.2L engine. (May have even had a 2.0L on one version.) My HHR doesn't do as well, but I always chalked it up to higher curb weight and bigger engine, and it's not enough of a difference to be displeased with the car. As my old roommate said when I let her drive it once "It's like you're floating down the road on a quiet little cloud." -
laserblue Posts: 313Mine is a 2010 2LT with the 2.4 L engine.
Went on a cross country trip, a total of 6,214 miles = 14 fill ups but always before having the "low fuel" warning.
My best mpg = 32.47 mpg driving through the plains and my worst = 25.62 mpg crossing the Rockies.
My average mpg for the entire trip was 29.07 mpg... 95% hwy driving cruising 70% @ 65-70 mph and 30% @ 70-75 mph
Pretty satisfied.
I get an average of 26.13 mpg in city driving depending on traffic jams.

Located out in the open ocean this Site has consistently amazing visibility. It's always over 30 metres, and often better than that. The open ocean isolation also draws in large pelagic fish such as dogtooth tuna, mackerel and barracuda. These reefs are great places to spot sharks of all kinds, especially white tipped reef sharks. Over the past 20 years, feeding by dive operators at certain dive spots has caused the resident reef sharks, potato cod and other fish to become accustomed to divers; they are not skittish and allow close observation. Some operators offer a shark feed dive, where sharks are drawn in to a feeding station. These reefs offer a combination of diving, from dramatic wall dives to intricate coral formations, huge soft corals and reef flats.

70th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Show
Article Extras
Updated: January 12, 2014 4:43PM
Ben Affleck got a nice consolation prize, Jodie Foster made just about every actress in the room cry, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler killed it.
The 70th Annual Golden Globes show was the usual mix of hilarious moments, head-scratching oddities, hit-and-miss comedic routines and constant reminders the bar was open and this is always a much looser event than the Oscars.
It was a coming out party for multiple winners Lena Dunham and "Girls," and a lifetime coming out party of sorts for Jodie Foster, who made veiled references to her sexual orientation while delivering a lovely and gracious speech while accepting the kind of lifetime achievement award usually bestowed upon someone much older than the 50-year-old Foster..
Then again, Jodie's been in show business since she was three.
To no one's surprise, "Homeland" continued to get the love, with Damien Lewis and Claire Danes winning over more deserving performances in better shows.
Again: I liked the first season of "Homeland." But in its finest moment, it's not as innovative or memorable as any given scene in "Breaking Bad." But that's just me.
Your hosts for the evening…
As for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler:
They should host everything.
Awards shows. Retirement dinners. Dinner parties. Hearings on the next Secretary of State.
The eternally funny Fey and the eternally-just-as-funny Poehler stepped up to the plate as co-hosts and knocked out one line drive after another, delivering one-liners about Ben Affleck; Anne Hathaway's disastrous stint as co-host of the Oscars; the dubious credentials of the Hollywood Foreign Press; and "Zero Dark Thirty" director Kathryn Bigelow knowing the true meaning of torture "because she was married to James Cameron for three years."
Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig also killed with a routine in which they pretended to be dunderheaded fools who clearly hadn't seen any of the performances they were introducing. They brought down the house — but Tommy Lee Jones looked like he wanted to kill them.
Sir. You're an actor. I've seen four-star generals that have a better sense of humor about themselves. You want an acting challenge? Act like you can stand other people for three hours at an awards ceremony.
There were a few other mild surprises, including Hugh Jackman winning Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. But again, we have to remember who's voting for these things: about 75 foreign journalists who spend a lot of time on the junket circuit. Jackman's a talented guy and a winning, personable interview subject. Don't think for a second the latter isn't important.
Other highlights:
† Adele's acceptance speech for "Skyfall." I want to see her starring in "Bridget Jones' Diary: Mum's Night Out."
† Kevin Costner's introspective acceptance speech after winning for "The McCoys."
† The real-life Tony Mendez introducing "Argo." But you'd think a CIA hero would know to speak into the mic!
† Jennifer Lawrence, winner for "Silver Linings Playbook," noting she beat Meryl Streep. (Was this a reference to a line from "First Wives Club"?)
†Jessica Chastain bested one of the strongest fields in any category to take home Best Actress in a Drama for her sublime work in "Zero Dark Thirty." If she can defeat that international field at the Globes, she may win Oscar as well.
†"Argo" scored the upset for Best Picture. I still think "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Lincoln" are the frontrunners for the Oscar.
As was the case every year, the telecast of the Globes was more entertaining than we can expect the Oscars to be.
Your move, Seth.

Maxwell may never look solid at the crease; however he makes a dangerous number five or six.

There are 27 million men, women, and children living in slavery around the world today*. Many of these people are sexually trafficked, exploited as prostitutes and forced into a life of sexual slavery. The injustice of human trafficking knows no bounds: it affects people of every age, race, religion, gender, ethnicity and nationality. Slavery is a problem in the United States as well. There are an estimated 325,000 children in the U.S. living in sexual slavery right now**. These children are physically and sexually abused, and forced to endure being raped multiple times each day. We cannot stand by and allow this travesty to continue.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"
"I ordered this invitation for a winter wedding reception in December. It is elegant, modern and understated. Exactly what I wanted. The card stock is nice and the red print makes the invitation festive without being too cutesy. I was late in ordering and used the expedited process. Super fast and got the invitation in 4 days. Just in time! I was thrilled with the purchase and customer service. I would definitely order from Wedding Divas again."
"This is a fantastically beautiful invitation.Love the colors and unique design and to make things even better, it arrived ahead of schedule and under budget! The guest of honor commented that these are her 2 favorite colors."
"We used this card for our rehearsal dinner invitation. The best part was that we could change the word "Salud" to one that worked with our Greek themed party! Everyone who got their invites gushed over them and said they were one of the most fun and unique invites they had recieved, next to our wedding invites also from WPD."
"I always love using wedding paper divas... It's fun to make invitations and makes me only want to use this site for all events!! I used wedding paper divas before my wedding. After using wpd for shower invites for friends my own wedding events and my wedding when the holidays approached I was eager to see what WPD had. When it came time to pick a invitation for my annual holiday bash the choice was simple!! I love how I can personalize instantly and see my results. Everyone is always super impressed with the quality and look of the invites. And all comments on the holiday party invites have been steller! "They look so expensive" and "always so well made" " you always have the cutest invites" I can't wait to pick out the invitations for my fathers upcoming surprise birthday!"

Hydro Flask Double Wall Beer Flask Black (G6416) |
$49.46 |
Add to Basket
The Bend company Hydro Flask has applied the technology from their outstanding stainless-steel beverage bottles to this impressive 64-oz. thermal flask. Rugged stainless-steel construction with insulating double walls, tactile powder-coated exterior finish, land a eak-proof cap make this a growler that keeps beer cold for a long time. People are amazed after sipping ice-cold water from their Hydro Flask after it sat in a blazing hot car for hours, and equally impressed after snowshoeing up a mountain and still being able to enjoy piping hot coffee at the summit. At Kaboodle, we've put ice and water in a Hydro Flask bottle, and still had ice left after more than 48 hours. As pleasing on the outside as they are functional on the outside, Hydro Flask bottles feature a beautiful, tactile, matte finish color on the outer wall of stainless steel.
Hydro Flask bottles are not just another reusable water bottle. They're based on a simple sciientific principle; everything that has matter conducts heat, including water, air, plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel. However, a vacuum, a space empty of matter, does not conduct heat. And a vacuum is what you'll find between two walls of food-grade 18/8 stainless steel in every bottle from Hydro Flask. Hydro Flask's patent-pending, double-wall vacuum insulation means that the temperature outside a Hydro Flask bottle has a very hard time affecting the temperature of whatever you might put in it. And, that principle is a two-way street; whether you've got hot or chilled liquids inside of your Hydro Flask, the internal temperature won't affect the temperature of the container in your hand. That means no blistered fingers with hot coffee, and no troublesome condensation from your bottle of ice water. And additional benefit of owning a Hydro Flask bottle is that Hydro Flask turns over part of it's profit to FivePercentBack.org This volunteer-based organization founded by Hydro Flask, funnels 5% of Hydro Flask gross profits to a charity or non-profit of your choosing. Simply go to FivePercentBack.org, input the serial number from your Hydro Flask bottle and select a charity that resonates with you to invoke positive change. |


text: PokeBase Battle Subway Meta-PokeBase Q&A Login Register All Activity Questions Unanswered Tags Users Ask a Question Rules Chat "Why was my post hidden?" — the mega-thread 21 votes Did a question or answer you posted seemingly vanish? It was probably hidden. If you are not sure why, then please use this thread to ask. Any new posts asking why questions were hidden will be hidden. Please follow these steps before posting: Step 1: Read the rules. The most common reasons questions are hidden are: being purely opinion e.g. "what is your favorite Pokemon" being on the wrong section e.g. a team question on Pokebase instead of Battle Subway on team questions, not including all the required information (Moves, Ability, Items, Nature, EVs or Roles). on team questions, being in-game teams instead of competitive teams way too trivial e.g. "what level does Bulbasaur evolve at?" a moveset question (we already have one for every Pokemon) duplicates of other questions For answers, they may be hidden if you answer many days later with no new information than what's already there, or they may be unsatisfactory because they are incorrect or hard to read due to poor grammar. Step 2: Read the rules again because you probably didn't read them close enough. Step 3: Read the rules again. Step 4: Re-read the rules before posting because you probably ignored the majority of this post. Step 5: If you are sure you didn't break any rules, post an answer here asking why your question was hidden. Obviously include a link to the question/answer you are asking about, otherwise we have to search though and endless list of hidden posts to find the one you're talking about. Once you have posted, a mod or senior user will comment and tell you what rule you broke. When they do tell you, do not argue with them - they have been here long enough to know the rules. Just accept that you broke a rule and move on. Plus, it shows how mature you can be. Remember that is thread is about learning what you did wrong and not complaining about it. Also, if you posted a question or answer and it doesn't show up straight away then it probably needs to be approved. There is a message that tells you this when it happens. A Moderator or Editor will get to it soon and approve it (or reject it if it breaks the rules). Have a bit of patience, sometimes due to inconsistencies with time zones it takes several hours for us to do this. questions answers hidden asked Aug 10, 2012 by Pokemaster edited Aug 30, 2014 by ƒιzz Show 5 previous comments True. But still i find it random, and kinda rude...it would be different if it was Spam or a useless post Yo, I don't know where to talk about this, but I come back and I look in my profile that someone changed it to something about Nazi's? The hell? I took it down, dunno how long it's been there. No one can change your profile unless they have access to your account. Mods can't edit profiles? Can Pokemaster? Pokemaster can, but only he. Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 0 votes Why was mine? all i typed was please rate my team and i dont see what was wrong i wasted a lot of time on it answered Jan 11 by serperiorisawesome It didn't meet the RMT requirements. There wasn't enough information for the team to be properly rated, so the post was hidden to avoid clutter on the Battle Subway. If you'd like to fix it, I could re-show so you can edit it, if that would help? Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Hello! I have a question that regards posts been deleted, but this being my second day on the site makes me quite unsure if this page is the right place to ask, especially since Pokemaster made the thread, and for my understandings he is the chief around here, and I have no intentions in getting on his black list. BUT, one of my answers probably got taken down even if it was,for me at least, more exhaustive than the one that was already up.I have no idea how to get in contact with a Moderator directly via private messages, so I'm asking here if I could get an explanation of what I did wrong so to not repeat the mistake again. Thanks in advance! answered Jan 20 by Torym You aren't going to go on a blacklist for posting in the wrong place. We're not that bad. :P Anyways, looking through the admin, I found only one post of yours that was taken down, which was this one: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/229664/what-happens-if-rayquaza-faints-or-you-flee-in-or-as?show=229830#a229830 This was taken down most likely because it didn't add much info to the existing answer. It said pretty much the exact same thing the existing one did, only with a few extra details. While you're welcome to add another answer if the existing answer has a big lack of detail, if you're going to add little things like specific capture rates, it may be better to add it as a comment. If you're looking to contact a mod in future, leave a message on their profile page and they'll hopefully get back to you. There isn't a private messaging system in place at the moment (but there may be in future), so if you're looking to contact a mod directly, this is the best way to do it. And welcome to the site btw :) Alright, I see. Thanks for the answer Fizz! Please log in or register to add a comment. Related questions Suggestion: Make a Why was your post hidden message. Why did my post get hidden by itself? If an answer got hidden, would the comments for that answer go on another answer/the question or just disappear? Flagging hidden comments? I just hid my post and when I tried to show it again it didn't come back,why? The best suggestion about downvotes ever. If while I'm answering/commenting the question gets hidden, does my input get added?? When an answer has a downvote and is hidden, will the downvote's effects disappear from our points?

So...I cried at the Delta check in desk this morning at 5:30a. I wept. Really I cried crocodile tears. It was my second time at Los Angeles Intl Airport in a 6 hour time frame and it was the second time someone told me I couldn't get to New York even though I had bought my ticket months ago...but mother nature was not on any one's side who had planned travel east yesterday...and even though I realized it was all beyond my control, the airline's control...I cried.
After months and months of rising at 5-6a and going to sleep at 2a in an effort to launch a home furnishings collection in NYC, my exhaustion just hit me at the Delta counter. I think out of shock that a girl was actually weeping at the counter, the nice baggage guy said he would pray for me. I felt bad then...I so appreciated the prayer but that put a few things in perspective. I am not curing cancer or saving lives, I'm just trying to achieve a personal goal I set for myself.
My booth at the New York International Gift Fair is being built today...and I wanted to be there to make sure everything looked okay. I am not there. I'm on a plane. I had everything planned and the plans just flew out the door (oh, I was just trying to get some Advil out of my purse, it fell over and all the contents fell out including my blackberry which is now in under-the-seat-airplane-no-mans-land...anyhoooooooo). There is a lesson somewhere in this. I know there is.
Tears and delayed flights aside, I am so excited to be going to NYC! I love New York as cliche as it may sound. I am staying with best of friend Anne and her hubby John and their kiddies. My best of friend Alyssa is flying in from London to give me hand...along with new friend Candice who is coming in from L.A. to work the fair with me. Best of friend Nicole is coming in to see me at the fair and I'll see JH, DH, A.Ro and a whole slew of others.
So while I have been tremendously unlucky today (the guy on the plane next to me has a terrible cold and just sneezed in the vicinity of my orange juice), I know I am very lucky to have the good fortune of loving family, friends, my health and a general curiosity and drive that have brought me here...on my way to New York to try with all my heart and energy to break out of my norm in a big way! We'll see what happens. To be continued for sure...
P.S. Uh...next post will be about decor...don't worry!
P.P.S. Thank you Abby for the nice Apartment Therapy post yesterday!

Concerning the Thursday night dances at the St. Joseph Hospitality House, their greatest desire is more American girls to dance with. At first the average was 25 girls to 100 men. The Italian Service Unit orchestra furnishes the music for about 100 Italians for dancing each Thursday night. At present there are about enough American girls to furnish partners for the men. - Chaplain Raphael Monteleone, Lt. 9 January 1945.

A thoracotomy is a surgery to open the chest wall. The surgery allows access to the lungs, aorta, heart, diaphragm, and spine. Depending on the disease location, a thoracotomy may be done in the center or on the right or left side of the chest.
Reasons for Procedure
A thoracotomy may be done to:
- Confirm diagnosis of a lung or chest disease
- Repair the heart or the vessels of the lung and heart
- Treat windpipe disorders
- Remove a portion of the lung or the entire lung
- Reinflate lung tissue that has collapsed due to disease or trauma
- Remove pus from the chest
- Remove blood clots from the chest
- Remove tumors or lymph nodes
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have a thoracotomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Collapsed lung
- Damage to the organs in the chest
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Collection of air or gases in the chest
- Persistent pain—rare
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Major trauma involving multiple body parts
- Age
- Heavy smoker
- Previous stroke or heart attack
- Prior radiation therapy
- Obesity
- Chronic medical problems
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may perform:
- Physical exam
- Blood and urine tests
- X-ray, CT scan , or MRI scan of the chest
- Pulmonary function tests to see how well your lungs work
- Heart function tests
Leading up to surgery:
Leading up to surgery:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure such as:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- You may be asked to use an enema to clear your digestive system.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- To minimize complications, stop smoking at least 2-3 weeks before surgery.
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep during the surgery.
Description of Procedure
You will be placed on your side with your arm elevated. An incision will be made between two ribs, from front to back. The chest wall will then be opened. In some cases, the doctor may take a different approach. The doctor can then do whatever procedure needs to be done in the open chest. When the procedure is done, one or more chest tubes will be placed. The tubes will make sure that blood or air does not collect in the chest. The chest wall will be closed. The incision is closed with stitches or staples and bandaged to prevent infection.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be sent to the intensive care unit for recovery. You will be monitored closely.
How Long Will It Take?
3-4 hours or longer
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You will have some discomfort after the surgery. Your doctor will give you medicine to help you manage the pain.
For some, a thoracotomy can lead to a chronic pain syndrome. It is usually described as burning pain in the area of surgery. It may be associated with increased sensitivity to touch in this area. It usually lessens over time, but you may need to see a pain specialist if the pain persists.
Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is 5-10 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
- You will have IV lines and tubes in and around your body. Some of the lines and tubes will help you urinate, breath, and get nutrition. Most of the lines and tubes will be removed as you recover.
- You may be given antibiotics, pain medicine, or anti-nausea drugs.
- Do coughing and deep breathing exercises.You may also use an incentive spirometer to help you with this. Do them often to help keep your lungs clear.
- Get out of bed often and sit in a chair. Increase your activity as much as you are able.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Do not smoke.
- Avoid environments that expose you to germs, smoke, or chemical irritants.
- Ask your doctoer when it is safe to drive and return to work.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Difficulty breathing or cough
- New pain in the chest or persistent and severe pain in the area of surgery
- Stitches or staples that come apart
- Excessive bleeding at the site of the incision
- Coughing up mucus that is yellow, green, or bloody
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision site
- Severe nausea or vomiting
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

He's now 13-6 +$6,410 L7 days ALL sports! 801-610 +$87,992 ALL sports s/ Jan. 19th, 2014! 67-46 +$15,090 NBA Y-T-D! 72-51 +$3,663 NHL Y-T-D! 24-22 +$1,162 NCAAB Y-T-D & 18-12 +$5,090 w/ 10* NCAAB TOPS!
How do you go about basing your Over/Under picks in the NHL (or in any sport for that matter?). Do you look for a team that's currently red hot offensively and simply bet the OVER? Do you automatically assume a total will go UNDER the number because a team has done well defensively of late? Those of course are the most obvious factors to base a "totals" play on, and while "recent performance" does play a role in my selection process, it's certainly not the only set of criteria that I use. Anyone that's followed me for any lengthy of time knows that I am primarily a "situational" handicapper at heart, but that I don't follow any one particular methodology religiously and that I believe remaining "flexible" at all times is the best way to approach a contest. Being a situtational handicapper allows you to take the "players" out of the equation a lot of the time, and for me that's definitely the case for the most part, it rarely matters who is playing and who isn't in my process (unless of course it's a Top 5 player like LeBron James or Tom Brady etc). It's not a big secret in that I base my Over/Under picks on "lop sided" trends and numbers and in this case, each team has played to the UNDER a few times coming into this one, switching the value to the higher number in my opinion. While the Pens opened the second half with a 5-3 win over Winnipeg, they'd then revert and fall 4-0 the following night to Washington; Pittsburgh has seen the total dip below the posted number in three of its last four. New Jersey came out of the break with a low-scoring 2-1 win over Toronto, after playing to three straight OVERs to end the first half. However take note that of the three games these teams have already played against each other this season, two of of them have dipped below the posted number, including in the last two straight. I'll be the first to admit that the "Law Of Averages" is flawed in many ways, but I have always felt that "lopsided" numbers and trends have a way of naturally "correcting" themselves over the short, mid and long term. I think there are enough factors working in our favor here to pull the trigger on the OVER.
