BabyBjörn has been the go-to brand for baby carriers, potty chairs, and other munchkin must-haves since the 1960s. Designed to promote bonding, BabyBjörn carriers snugly strap babies and little children onto their parents' fronts while preserving flexibility of movement; newer designs such as the Synergy, the Miracle, and the Baby Carrier Active offer extra back support for weary moms and dads. BabyBjörn has sought design and development input from pediatricians and experts since Swedish innovator Björn Jakobson and his sister-in-law Elsa launched their company in 1961; today, doctors around the world recommend the company's ergonomic products, which also include bibs, Babysitters (bouncers), and toys.

The spring crop of vegetables and melons out of California's Coachella and Imperial valleys may be a brief one, but growers expect to ship a wide range of good-quality products before temperatures approach the triple-digit range.
John Burton, general manager, sales and cooler for Peter Rabbit Farms, says consumers are seeing more value in eggplant than ever. The company started picking eggplant April 25 and will continue through June. "Quality of the crop is going to be really nice," he says. Peter Rabbit Farms, Coachella, Calif., plans to kick off its eggplant program in early May, said John Burton, general manager for sales and cooler.
"Right now, all the signs are pointing to an average to above average season on eggplant," he said April 15.
Temperatures shot into the 90 degree range the week of April 22, and that's good for eggplant.
"It really loves the heat," Burton said, especially temperatures in the 95- to 100 degree range.
"We should start seeing some eggplant really start to produce out there," Burton said.
He didn't want temperatures to climb too high, though.
"You don't want it to get into the 110-112 (degree) area."
The company offers eggplant from May until late June.
Beans, peppers, corn, tomatoes
Keber Distributing Inc., Thermal, Calif., started its bean program April 18 and planned to start bell peppers and a small amount of corn in late April.
"We'll go until about the first week of June," said partner Dick Keber, adding that quality should be good as a result of good growing weather.
Jeff Dolan, DiMare/California field operations manager, said DiMare Indio's mature-green tomatoes should come off in early May and continue until the first or second week of June.
Dolan said he was pleased with growing conditions this season.
"It's been a pretty good spring down there," he said.
It's not easy to grow tomatoes in the desert, he added, but the company "figured out how to do it" and can get a head start on the San Joaquin Valley deal.
Coachella-based Prime Time International plans to be up and running with its bell peppers; yellow, white and bicolor corn; seedless and seeded watermelons; cucumbers; green beans; hard squash and eggplant by mid-May, said Mike Aiton, director of marketing.
"May and June are our busiest months of the year at Prime Time," Aiton said.
The company's green beans and bell peppers started six days earlier than last year, and Aiton thinks other commodities will follow suit with volume similar to 2012.
"We're expecting a very good quality year," he said, barring high temperatures or excessive wind.

"But the potato discussion has been going on for years and has been contentious. I really don't think the tomato agreement has any impact on us (the potato industry)."
JungmeyerLance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas in Nogales, Ariz., is concerned about the potato rule, as well as the U.S. tomato suspension agreement with Mexico. However, he stopped short of saying the two trade issues are related.
"Absent pest concerns, we support open markets between the U.S. and Mexico for all items, but unfortunately we've been drawn into a wild goose chase that is sapping away resources to move trade forward between both countries," Jungmeyer said Jan. 3.
"The food production in both countries is complementary, and consumers in both countries should be able to enjoy food at reasonable prices that meets market demand."
Full access to the Mexican market would allow U.S. growers to reach 70 million to 80 million more consumers, Keeling said. Industry leaders say full access would mean $150 million in export value to U.S. growers.
The National Potato Council plans to submit comments on the Nov. 20 proposal, as does the Idaho Potato Commission, said Patrick Kole, commission vice president of legal and government affairs.
"We plan to submit comments the week of Jan. 14 and will discuss in broad terms the pest mitigation and other factors," Kole said.
"The U.S. potato industry speaks with one voice on this issue and we know the National Potato Council is working to deliver the message."
The Washington Potato Commission, Moses Lake, Wash., also plans to submit comments, said Matt Harris, assistant executive director. He said Washington exported 21,000 tons of potatoes to Mexico this past year.
"We are trying to figure out why they made the change," Harris said. "There is no clear answer to that question. For 10 years they were working in one direction and then (in November) everything changed."
A bipartisan group of 17 U.S. senators from potato-producing states is also pursuing enforcement of the terms of the 2003 agreement. The senators sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Dec. 21 asking for the administration's help to resolve the potato export issue.
Senators who signed that letter were: Mark Udall, D-Colo.; Michael Bennet, D-Colo.; Mike Crapo, R-Idaho; Kent Conrad, D-N.D.; Carl Levin, D-Mich.; Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.; John Hoeven, D-N.D.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Patty Murray, D-Wash.; Max Bacus, D-Mont.; James Risch, R-Idaho; Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; Al Franken, D-Minn.; Ron Johnson, R-Wis.; Jon Tester, D-Mont.; and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.

isn't CW a local problem not a direcTV problem? when our local CW when HD its shown up on DirecTV
As people who follow this thread religiously might already be aware of, the two (or three depending upon how you look at it) SD channels that I'm the most disappointed about not having in HD is TV Land and The CW DNS feeds. The DNS feeds are not available to everyone, but are national channels.
TV Land HD is currently in testing... soon leaving Series Links for The CW programming the only SD Series Links on my DVRs... a matter all the more disappointing when I think about the fact that the two DNS feeds are $3.50 a month.
Last Summer, I found out that my local affiliate (sub-channel) will be going HD sometime in 2013, so I figured that once January hit, I might get a better time frame from the affiliate, and put most of my hopes on receiving them via DirecTV rather than waiting for the DNS feeds anytime soon. However, since I haven't received any kind of response from my local affiliate at this time, I'm still unsure of what quarter their plans are for, and so the DNS feeds are still my #1 anticipated channel(s).... especially after TV Land HD is launched.

As everybody in New Orleans knows by now, "Uncle" Lionel Batiste, bass drummer for Treme' Brass Band in New Orleans, 81, died on Sunday, July 8 after a brief bout with prostate cancer. "Uncle" Lionel had become a poster boy for the resurgent New Orleans music scene in the last few years since Hurricane Katrina. Long, lean, dapper, perpetually snappily dressed with a trademark gold cross and wristwatch worn over his knuckles, "Uncle" Lionel sauntered around the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street. He was the face on the New York City Times Square banner for Spike Lee's Hurricane Katrina documentary, "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise." His image graced the 2010 Congo Square poster for New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival presented by Shell, and of course, for the historic Treme' neighborhood bicentennial poster. It's 200 years in 2012 since the country's oldest historic African-American neighborhood was founded.
But more than becoming a visual icon of New Orleans, "Uncle" Lionel was a consummate musician and mentor to many younger musicians. The Treme' Brass Band's weekly gig on Wednesdays at the Candlelight Lounge in Treme' became a hipster and tourist destination after HBO's "Treme'" TV show began running in 2009, but there was nothing touristy about the music, or the joy that the music brought. "Uncle" Lionel was a direct link to an earlier time in New Orleans, when traditional brass band music wasn't even especially well-known outside of New Orleans. It grew out of the neighborhoods, and it was handed down in the old-school way, by the "older" guys teaching the younger ones. If you want to hear "Uncle" Lionel playing and singing, Treme' Brass Band records are available at Louisiana Music Factory, 210 Decatur St. in New Orleans, and for download at www.locobop.com. Sound of New Orleans, www.soundofneworleans.com, recently re-released its 1980s recording of Treme' Brass Band, "I Got a Big Fat Woman," and it's about as authentic as you can get.

ClearWater Surf Travel & Boat Trips
ClearWater Surf TravelAt ClearWater Surf Travel the plan is simple: Offer a hassle free surf trips to warm waters, the best waves and the best resorts for the hardcore surfer or surfer traveling with family or girlfriend. Clear Water Surf Travel is about finding the best resorts or boats with a wave in front of your door with options to go to other spots . It`s not easy these days to find uncrowded surf but we at ClearWater can offer personal advice to find you empty waves. When you have the chance to go on a surftrip you want it to be hassle free. ClearWater Surf Travel can offer the best deals with great benefits. It all started in 92 with the first surftrip to Barbados. After that, our work allowed us to travel 2-5 months a year to tropical waters. The last 5 -7 years surf travel got more popular and the good thing about travelling is to meet people and share experiences. Most surfers just want nice waves and easy travels. When you travel with family or wife you are looking for a girlfriend friendly resort with a wave for you or when you are a more hardcore surfer or want a trip with the boys you don`t mind an extra day somewhere to get to your destination but you want good waves as we all work hard for our well deserved surftrip. It should be a dream trip you`re planning when thinking about boardshort surfing. Our idea is to come up with solid selection of Resorts or Boats suited for every surfer . All resorts have prime surf seasons with different waveheight per high or low season. Low season has smaller waves but less crowded ….ideal for everybody with less experience or when you are looking for empty waves as there always good days with good size surf. High season has bigger waves but also more crowded . It`s this time to look for other resorts if you still want empty waves or go for the more popular resorts and score epic waves but prepare to share. ClearWater Surf Travel can help you find what you are looking for.

Alright, I'm really new here, but I'd just like to say that the idea of a steampunk setting for an RP sounds like a great idea, and as far as I'm concerned, would be a nice change of pace, so I'd just like to give my support on that idea. As far as character limitations go, I don't really care, I'll just go with whatever is decided upon, although I would just like to say that if you choose a looser "class" system, then you should make people specify what their class does so nobody assumes anything. I don't know if this is a problem here, but it would be on the Middle Ground forums, which is where I come from. Also, a Star Wars RP is an awesome idea, and you can bet that I'm going to join it if and when it goes live. However, I do have a quick question in regards to that: Will the Jedi be playable, or will they be NPCs only?

It would be my intention to have Jedi PCs, yes. Probably. I haven't entirely decided yet, but probably.
It's quite a ways in the future, though, not least because i have no intention to think about startiung it until after I come home from the month's holiday i'm taking at the end of June...

I really like this thread. So far, we've got compelling discussion for at least three RP's.
Nem's Post apocalyptic RP.
Mato's Steampunk RP.
Space's Star Wars RP.
What I like about this, is each of these people has (except for me) successfully hosted and lead an extended RP before. I'm really looking forward to what could possibly develop from this.

My failures are my own, but I have been here a while. I'm not saying I can't do it, but just that fate has conspired to keep me from the success I long for. It's like I'm a certain quarterback, eternally denied a superbowl ring; I long for victory, but am only finding defeat in my circumstance.
This is why I'm so keen on trying again, to be honest. Because I'm super-psyched about this world I'm building, and I think that it's gonna be fun

Hey, I'm kinda new to the Wonderful World of Forum, but I think I'd like to join an RP.
I also say that we sould have a Vampire World to counter-act the VH RP. It would be interesting to watch as both worlds develop, even possibly interact....

Hey everyone!
I've had this rather cool (I think) idea for a new RP project.
It's a Mecha-Fantasy setting with a Medieval culture and social structure, but Sci-Fi technology. The Player Characters will have the status and function of Knights, but instead of a horse and lance, each commands a heavily armed and armored bipedal warmachine.
Would anyone be interested in playing something like this?
I'll post more details once I've got a few confirmations of interest, so I know I'm not completely wasting my time...

There are two things that I both love and that I hate about this idea.
1) It seems to be taken directly away from the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe.
2) It might not be taken directly from the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, read one of the books, play one of the video games, or table top games, or collecting card games, or watch the animated series, or .... (I could go on like this for a while. This thing is huge)...
That could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how it's done. If you want to do this, I'd be tenuously interested... but... yeah. Be careful. You're walking on broken glass, shards of my heart there.

I'm just saying, Battletech stuff was a large part of my life for a long time. If he's gonna do something in that world, he'd better be committed to doing it right. Or, at least fun.

Mato: TELL ME EVERYTHING!
I used to be so heavily into IS Tech I duels that it was...sick. Miniatures, endless stat sheets, more dice than most D&D gamers had (some lucky, some novelty, some "memorable moments"...)
I have entire story-lines, character biographies, entire
built in the Battletech universe!
Ahem, but yes, back to Jack's idea.
I like the idea. If it's a Battletech-ish idea, then Mato and I can probably give you more than enough information to accurately protray the abysmal universe that it's within. If you're thinking more along the lines of...hrm...
"One hundred years ago, a spaceship crashed on an otherwise backward/medieval planet. The survivors of this crash used their advanced technology to safeguard certain civilizations from natural disasters, but refused to take part in major wars. That is, until a splinter group seperated from the whole.
In a daring midnight raid, the splinter group reduced the mothership and most of the original supplies to ashes, and then made off into the night. This splinter group now allies itself with a dark and powerful force, threatening to easily take the entire world by storm in preparation for complete world domination!
However, a small recon unit was away at the time of the attack. Now, faced with limited resources and mostly only their wits and skills as diplomats and scouts, a band of pilots must fight their way through the splinter group's elite and assault forces, find the leaders of both the splinter group AND the "normals" general, and end the lives of both before the world is taken by this combined force."
And yes. I loves me some battlemechs.

Please post technical issues here

I'm having trouble logging in. I've tried several times (even logging out of FFG and successfully logging in the main site), and it just gives me an error that my information doesn't match.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 01:29 PM
LunarKnite: Is it working now? I just tried logging in as you, and it worked fine.
Remember: Your username to log in is your entire email address. If that doesn't work, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 10:59 PM
Login is kinda buggy - I tried it several times and either the login does not recognise my password or the login brings me to a server error side.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 11:05 PM
This may be a recurring issue- I can't log in either- it is "FORBIDDEN" ! Which although being suitably dramatic is also rather irritating
Excited to play around with this tool, thanks fantasy flight games for doing this, I'm sure the bug will be fixed soon.
Happy gaming all!
Posted 12 January 2013 - 06:39 AM
I am also having issue loggin into the Quest Vault.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 03:42 PM
Keep getting "server error" when logging in.
I previously managed to log in just fine… but now it's server error every time.
If I'm already logged in to the FFG site, why is a secondary login required? couldn't it just wrap?
Posted 12 January 2013 - 04:10 PM
When entering Text there appears to be a hard cap on characters. I have reduced the font to 8 points and can see half a column of empty space. Any additional text I add returns a message that the the text will not fit on the page. Is it possible to increase this cap?
Posted 12 January 2013 - 09:27 PM
When i try to use it where just appears a text what says IE is not supported¨. Why appears this?
Posted 13 January 2013 - 04:52 AM
I cannot login either. Ive tried numerous times and definately entered all the info for the login.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 10:23 PM
If you are in trouble to login into the quest vault than try to write your user name (E-Mail address) in the same way which is stored on the server.
I figured out that the login name on quest vault is case sensitive but this name is not case sensitive on the community page from FFG.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 01:03 AM
I have logged in and tried to create a simple map, choosing one core set to work with. However, when I try to use the map, there are no toolbars on the right side and I have nothing whatsoever to add to the map. Bizarre.
I also added an encounter by mistake and now cannot see how to delete it. There does not appear to be a simple delete function.
This is a great idea and will be a great tool when it's finished but at the moment it is useless. I know other people have managed to create stuff so I don't know wht the issue is.

Great app!
Little quibbles:
- I cannot get to all the buttons on the left: there is no way to scroll the button panel.
- I didn't find how to erase an "unpublished" quest. This is not a big deal, bit I'd like to clean up my "tests"…
- Moving the tiles vs. moving the whole map is kind of fuzzy. Maybe some right click vs. left click process would be simpler ??
Just my 2 cents..
Posted 16 January 2013 - 04:14 AM
When opening the Quest builder using a notebook-sized pc (The Acer Aspire One) the physical screen is not big enough to view the entire builder screen but no scroll function is available, there fore the entire builder setup cannot be interacted with. Please introduce a scroll function into your interface for situations such as this..

Same login issue. Can log in to FFG just fine but Quest Vault returns "Your username and password didn't match. Please try again." Clicking "I've forgotten my password" takes me back to the FFG Community login screen where everything works okay.
Same issue on Win 8, Win 7, Ubuntu 12.10 - all using Chrome.
Posted 19 January 2013 - 02:08 PM
Login problem as well. Username and password do not match even though they do on the FFG site.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 01:27 AM
The same login problem as the others.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 04:19 AM
I guess the login issue hasn't been resolved or addressed? I am unable to login as well.
Posted 30 January 2013 - 10:01 AM
I have noticed some bugs while using the Quest Vault.
1) Under Quest>Settings, you can click the "-" button for Descent: Core Set to reduce your component count to 0. When you click "+" to get more components, the quest will mark that you need 2 copies of the Core Set, but you will still only have access to 1 set of tokens. The only fix is to close the browser without saving your work.
2) Occassionally, when dragging a component to the map, it will not show up, but it will decrease the item count. It would be convenient if you could right-click the map pieces or token pieces from the selection box, and delete them all from the map to get access to them again. Again, one fix for this is to close the browser window without saving your work. Sometimes the tile will show up randomly. Sometimes you can increase your set requirements, then decrease it to get the correct token count back.
3) On the front page, the number of likes text field needs to be bigger. At 100 likes, the top quest wraps this text, making the information difficult to read.

Call for Submissions - Crab Creek Review on Ekphrastic Poetry
Crab Creek Review Call for Submissions
We are pleased to have our very first, guest editor, Susan Rich, who will be putting together a section of poems for an upcoming issue on the theme of Ekphrastic Poetry.
Here are the details below...
Special Editor's Portfolio edited by Guest Editor, Susan Rich
Theme: Ekphrastic Poetry
We begin with the visual. Ekphrastic poetry is a response in words to a painting, photograph, dance, building, sculpture, Ikea catalogue, child's drawing, or bumper sticker. An ekphrastic poem begins with inspiration from another piece of art and with the intuitive understanding that art begets art. In a sense, the art object becomes the rough draft of the poem.
We are looking for the best ekphrastic poems, 30-lines (or less) to showcase in an upcoming issue of Crab Creek Review.
For this project, we are accepting email submissions to the email address below. To submit to this special portfolio of ekphrastic poetry, write your name and title of the submission in the subject line and then send your previously unpublished poems in the body of an email to Editor, Susan Rich at: duende3417 (a) yahoo.com
Please send 3-5 poems at the most.
Also, include a short bio and contact info as well.
Deadline is May 31, 2010

The email is duende3417(at) yahoo.com.

Fats are a type of nutrient that you get from your diet. It is essential to eat some fats, though it is also harmful to eat too many.
The fats you eat give your body energy that it needs to work properly. During exercise, your body uses calories from carbohydrates you have eaten. But after 20 minutes, exercise then depends on calories from fat to keep you going.
You also need fat to keep your skin and hair healthy. Fat also helps you absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K, the so-called fat-soluble vitamins. Fat also fills your fat cells and insulates your body to help keep you warm.
The fats your body gets from your food gives your body essential fatty acids called linoleic and linolenic acid. They are called "essential" because your body cannot make them itself, or work without them. Your body needs them for brain development, controlling inflammation, and blood clotting.
Fat has 9 calories per gram, more than 2 times the number of calories in carbohydrates and protein, which each have 4 calories per gram.
All fats are made up of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Fats are called saturated or unsaturated depending on how much of each type of fatty acid they contain.
Saturated fats raise your LDL ("bad") cholesterol level. High LDL cholesterol puts you at risk for heart attack, stroke, and other major health problems. You should avoid or limit foods that are high in saturated fats.
Eating unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats can help lower your LDL cholesterol. Most vegetable oils that are liquid at room temperature have unsaturated fats. There are 2 kinds of unsaturated fats:
Trans fatty acids are unhealthy fats that form when vegetable oil hardens in a process called hydrogenation. Hydrogenated fats, or "trans fats," are often used to keep some foods fresh for a long time.
Trans fats are also used for cooking in some restaurants. They can raise LDL cholesterol levels in your blood. They can also lower your HDL ("good") cholesterol levels.
You should avoid foods made with hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils (such as hard butter and margarine). They contain high levels of trans-fatty acids.
It is important to read nutrition labels on foods. This will help you know what kinds of fats, and how much, your food contains.
Talk with your health care provider about how to cut down on how much fat you eat. Your doctor can refer you to a dietitian who can help you learn more about foods and help you plan a healthy diet. Make sure you have your cholesterol levels checked according to a schedule your health care provider gives you.

Healthy eating may be its own reward, but Wal-Mart and Humana are adding a kicker.
In what is being described as a unique new effort to help consumers save money on healthy food choices, the Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and HumanaVitality, a subsidiary of health insurance provider Humana, have started a program offering 5% savings on products like fresh fruits and vegetables.
Low-fat dairy products and other items that qualify for Wal-Mart's "Great For You" icon fill out the program.
Set to begin Oct. 15, it represents the first national program in which a major retailer and health care company have partnered to create incentives for people to eat better with savings on healthful foods, according to a news release from Wal-Mart.
More than 1 million HumanaVitality members who shop at Wal-Mart will be eligible, according to the release.
The program will feature a "Vitality HealthyFood" card for 5% savings on "Great for You" items. The 5% savings will be loaded as credits on the member's "Vitality HealthyFood" card within five business days, for use on their next trip to the store, according to the release.
"By offering affordable, healthier foods, we will help make our customers healthier and reduce costs to our healthcare system as a whole," John Agwunobi, president of health and wellness for Wal-Mart U.S., said in the release. "We want to be our customers' wellness destination — the retailer that provides them with affordable ways to fight for their health."
Industry observers were pleased with the concept, though curious who would foot the bill for it.
"Incentivizing people to eat healthier foods is a great idea, and I don't think there is a better place to do it than in the grocery store and in partnership with a health care company," Elizabeth Pivonka, president and chief executive officer of the Hockessin, Del.-based Produce for Better Health Foundation said in an e-mail.
Tracy Fox, president of Food, Nutrition & Policy Consultants, LLC, Washington, D.C., said the initiative promises positive results on a number of levels, both for customers and the companies involved.
"Wal-Mart benefits from selling more of those items and gaining new customers, and Humana benefits by being able to promote this as a perk for potential clients and, ultimately, hopefully, in seeing reduced health care costs related to healthy behaviors among their participants," Fox said in an e-mail.

Recent photo of CB's hand in a cast taken by TMZ just 2 days after the altercation with Frank:
Recent photo of CB's hand in a cast taken by TMZ just 2 days after the altercation with Frank:
There we go with self pompous egotistical fools that think they can insult people because i dont space out my sentences right. This exactly what i am talking about. Pointing fingers when you are a bully yourself by insulting me. i am not american,i am a foreigner. The ignorance is ridiculous. What has he done personally to you to spew such hatred and bitterness?
so what someone post a picture of jesus. God said in the bible. let him without sin cast the first stone. Ok. so what if he has anger issues. if someone taunts me, i am not going to walk away all the time.
i am not even going to waste time going back and forth with you.
Point is i really feel chris brown is more despised simply because of his skin color.That has a lot to do with it.
Even lindsey lohans bad behavior, i bet you hate and despise her too right. These are celebrities and will they make mistakes yes, will some make more mistakes yes.
if you dont like em tough but there are others who see it differently and i feel he is being persecuted and this is what makes him lash out because he is fighting back

He needs to get laid.
it has nothing to do with skin color. and the differences in lindsey lohan's bad behavior has nothing to do with skin color. if you can't understand the difference, then, you are pretty silly. and the other way race should take part in this discussion is that maybe Chris Brown should take his role as an African American or minority more seriously and quit going around throwing temper tantrums, beating women, and gay men, and serve not to throw flames on a stereotype and strive to make the public perception of African American men more positive. there is a time and a place when you can pull the race card. but, having to face the responsibility of being a man and beating and biting a woman violently and not having those actions discounted or completely forgotten is not the time. he is an idiot. who continues to disregard the fact that these consequences have actions and celebrity or race is not going to be his free ticket out of it. Lindsey Lohan's career has suffered. Mel Gibson's career has suffered because of his bad behavior. put your race card away and quit looking like a fool taking up for this loser's vile behavior. he doesn't deserve a career. or attention. or people like you defending him on the internet.
A lot of ppl forget how much damage was done to Chris' reputation after he beat Rihanna in 2009. I mean for awhile there he was sort of seen as a squeaky clean teen idol doing guest appearances on Disney, The OC, Kids Choice, etc. He was ADORED by millions of teen girls (Team Breezy) much like an Usher or Justin Timberlake before him. That level of fame coupled with a healthy amount of genuine promise (dancing & singing etc) placed him into a very elite status of pop stardom. But when you end up beating your equally famous pop star girlfriend and the evidence is released in photographs all over the world. I can't even believe he's still around or not in jail the media wanted to prosecute his "black ass" until he just disappeared. He would receive no Charlie Sheen/Christian Bale/Sean Penn passes over this. It just doesn't work that way for Black celebrities who become A list entertainers. You have to be 10x more well behaved than your White counterparts to maintain any level of respect within the public's mind. Can you imagine if Will Smith had even ONE "Tom Cruise incident" what could have happened to his career? He would have NEVER recovered no matter how much everyone loves the Fresh Prince. Lol. So anyway, my point is that some ppl WILL NEVER understand why CB still has fans but its not for them to understand. I no longer argue with anti CB commentators/haters anymore. I just continue to support him and wish him well since obviously he is very troubled but that doesn't mean I can't like him b/c he has demons or isn't always acting like a "good guy." Let he without sin cast the first stone I say.
Stay strong Chris. You're still one of the sexiest guys in music today IMO.
YOU are looking like the fool thinking the world revovles around your opinions and you are on the crusade to burn the black
your words doesnt chage anything other than the fact that racism exist and still exists.
hypocrite. i disagreed with you so the next thing is to insult me. you are sooo much better than chris.
CHRIS BROWN rocks lmao
latinos and blacks in general support chris brown.
FRANK OCEAN WAS DONKEY OF THE DAY FOR SNITCHING lol

I think the answer is treating nonblack people who do stupid things worse. Not giving Chris a pass.
He is and will remain a worthless dirtbag. His attitude and actions lately only reinforces the fact that he has not changed.
Frank isn't pressing charges which tells me hes hiding something. I'm not defending Chris but why you gotta play the "gay card". its like playing the black card. Maybe Frank was being a bitch which still doesn't justify a fight but doesn't mean that it was cause of his sexuality. Frank doesn't need tp play the victim cause hes Bi, he needs to grow a pair and so does Chris.
Guess who lost to Frank Ocean at the Grammy Awards?
Chris had to be a sore loser (as usual) and kept his no-class, wanna-be thug ass in the chair. Even Adele is looking at him like, "Stand up, motherfucker!".
I won't be surprised if Chris took this out on Rihanna as soon as they got home. He'll be more careful to make sure not to leave any bruises where they can be seen, and Rihanna won't report it because it'll ruin her whole "I'm a big, strong woman and you can't tell me nothin'!" act. That, and because she'll go deaf from the world's loudest "I TOLD YOU SO!"
That picture is golden.
What a fucking piece of trash Chris Brown is. "Deplorable" doesn't even begin to define him.
"His colour has nothing to do with the fact that he is a homphobic wife beater who has never been married."
Fixed that!
Fixed that, too! lol
^ Oh yes, you can't be vocal about "someone of colour" or you're a racist around here. Didn't know that?
*sigh* I don't give a flying shit about Chris' skin color. An abusive, immature homophobic asshole is an abusive, immature homophobic asshole no matter what their skin color is.
BTW, "color" and "colour" are both acceptable ways to spell "color".
From Wikipedia: In derivatives and inflected forms of the -our/or words, British usage depends on the nature of the suffix used. The u is kept before English suffixes that are freely attachable to English words (for example in neighbourhood, humourless and savoury) and suffixes of Greek or Latin origin that have been naturalised (for example in favourite, honourable and behaviourism). However, before Latin suffixes that are not freely attachable to English words, the u:
may be dropped, for example in honorary, honorific, honorist, vigorous, humorous, laborious and invigorate;
may be either dropped or kept, for example in colo(u)ration and colourise (alt. colorize)); or
may be kept, for example in colourist.
Yeah, funny how that works out. But I'm not going to follow that faulty logic. Assholes come in all races and I'm not going to feel guilty for hating Chris Brown and his jackass personality just because he's black and I don't know what it feels like to be black in America.
Don't play the race card, people. It has no relevance here and it should NOT be used to defend his actions every time he goes psycho.
With celebrities and with every day regular people, I live by rule of don't be an asshole. If you're an asshole (whatever race or gender you are) then I hate you. Chris Brown is an asshole, therefore I hate him. Pretty simple logic here. Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump are assholes too. I could give you a ten page rant on why I hate them but I doubt there would be a point. You all know their histories.
So, that's my opinion. I guess now I get to sit and get nasty replies because I'm so "racist"
Im Black, American and I really dont like Chris Brown.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"

Sometimes I wonder, if Chris Brown had been dating someone like Taylor Swift and busted her lip and eyes, how different things would have been.
However, I don't think its about the abuse anymore, its mainly about his attitude after. Every time I hear something about him, its bad.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
More of Chris' antics make the news:
He recently smashed his Porsche into a wall. I guess he did it because he loves it so much.
So what he didn't stand up, he at least clapped. Miguel, the other guy in the category, also didn't stand up. He clapped like Brown did but yet no one mentioned that. He does enough shit without people having to make something out of nothing.
He got that thickness, the kind that make you get up makin' biscuits with breakfast, so gone - Jill Scott - So Gone
This is, basically, what it's all about. No, not only the picture, but your post as well. I can easily imagine Rihanna participating in a innovative program that deals with deaf people, while idiot, classless Brown is learning new skills "how to hit a woman and leave no bruises". This is so going to happen.
Yes and frank ocean is a manipulative idiot who is baby and has lost his credentials and his music. We will see how far he will ggo.
he has made himself look like a pussy. Frank will be a forgotten in a year or 2 and not be as popular. he already burnt up the little respect he had left. MARK MY WORDS
bye ocean
I respect chris brown even more.
why the fuck should he stand up?
what the fuck for? i would stand up myself
fuck all the cry babies who still bash chris. Go live your lives instead of spewing hate against a celebrity that dont give a fuck about your anger HAHAHA
Chris forever.
thank you DOD.... i am glad to hear that
i rather be a minority and it so sad some people are quick to terrorize celeebrities and judge them so harshly and yet they want the world to so tolerant about homosexuality but yet some gays are so quick to torch people who have made mistakes and growing as a person.
All i got to say if youare so HATEFUL towards chris brown, then yall lives must be horrible and hateful and miserable LOL to spend that much waste of time to HATE than love.
lmao so pathetic
And yet you're spending just as much time defending a man whom you've never met and casting dispersion upon others you've never met. That's equally as pathetic.
Anyway, I'm disappointed with this nonsense. I came in here thinking I'd see fresh pics of Chris Brown's juicy nipples. Instead it's the same garbage.
Zerlock; boxerdudeuk
the not standing up doesn't really bother me- I remember when Christina Aguilera stood up for Eminem at the Grammys- right after he won for a song that talks about her giving head to two guys- you know it choked her to do it- I guess there's some 'respect' in that- but why should she show respect of the guy who tore her down....Chris and Frank had a recent altercation- the facts are still fuzzy- at least he was being genuine- if you can't stand someone for whatever reason- it's your call....just defending his right to sit- not to be an immature, homophobic, woman beating douchebad that I think of him as on a daily basis!
That is a sexy cock that wi would fuck all night
Who knows people in barrie ontario to fuck me for the first time in my life
Why should he stand up? Maybe beacuse it's disrespectful to sit when you're participating in one of the most important award shows in your industry and a fellow musician (that is nominated in the same category, highly rspected in the music world) is receiving a Grammy Award for his album? Isn't it enough to stand up? Is it too much to ask? Or maybe the sitting person is a major, bratty douche?
Also, how can you say you respect Chris Brown more? What for? Could you elaborate?
And how on earth do you know if Ocean will be gone soon? His album just won a Grammy Award, it was called epic and oustanding and praised by the reviewers all over the world. Sure, he's not that popular (who knows why, maybe beacuse he's not in the media all the time hitting women or breaking windows in tv studios or crashing his car and blaming it on paps or getting in trouble with things surrounding his probation?), but he's respected and here for a long stay, in my opinion.
I'm a harsh critic of Chris Brown, but not for staying seated. At least he clapped. He just assaulted Frank Ocean two weeks before the Grammys. They don't like each other, so why would he stand for him? I think part of the reason Frank got a standing o is because he won against Chris and to show support for him after being jumped and injured by Chris and his goons.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Major, bratty douche indeed.
When you get "jumped" you don't come out with a finger cut so something isn't right there. He didn't stand up, big fucking doo. I'm sure any of you wouldn't if you had lost especially to someone that you had an altercation with. He clapped and did any of you know that Miguel didn't stand up either? He also lost in the same category so please hop of his dick and be adults
Who cares? WHERE ARE THE FUCKING NIPPLES?!
Zerlock; boxerdudeuk
^Major douche bag for posting that.
thank you
frank ocean is releasing all these statements like he was innocent.
it takes 2 to fight.
now its being manipulated he got jumped.
wheres the PROOF.
I am actually growiing up and i am very happy in my life and not LONELY like some of these people lol on here that want to pick fights with me because i am defending my dAWG chris brown LOL. as much as i am tempted to reply some posters equally with negativity i will pass, So i will keep my comments relevant to the topic chris brown
I just think the double standards GAY MEN have is very hypocritical and has a lot to do with RACE.
there are some white gay men that think black men are disgusting and think negative and all we are is a FETISH. i am highly offended by that.
so the kill the black man crusade has got to mstop and i being multi racial wont stand for that.
I really think thats why some gay men despise chris brown so much which is sad. that anger can be useful somewhere else.
somewhere like in UGANDA where they might still be KILLIng GAY PEOPLE

i bet if that was a family member of yours you will kkeep on posting that.
why dont we post all the victims of m,olestations and gay bashing etc and see if they liked to be reminded of that.
think people OMG.
its sad how crazy peoply can be online.
GOD BLESS YOU MAN. i feel sorry for people. RIRI has moved on, so should you.
We love you man.
WHAT A BEAutiful couple
go chris and riri.
GIVE THEM SOMETHING to talk about
It's not uncommon for any race to see anyone outside their race as a fetish but to continue to make everything "black" is silly. If you run into a white gay guy and he mentions that he doesn't like gay thugs that doesn't make him a racist because it's certain behavior associated with thugs but their are also white guys who prefer to date thugs as well.
It's really not that serious.

Classic Femininity
After trying numerous fragrances, Kimono Rose is one that I always go back to. The scent has a romantic and classic scent, but with an updated feel for a modern woman. The scent is floral but isn't overly sweet and it has a warm complexity, with the notes of vanilla and black currant. It could also be worn day or night. It is definitely my favorite!

Kimono Rose<3
Kimono Rose is one of my most favorite scents from Thymes!! I have been using it for over 4 yrs now and it reminds me of happiness & love. I would highly recommend it to anyone and it's an exceptional gift or surprise!!
I LOVE this fragrance!
But I only gave it 4 stars because, like the other reviewer stated, the scent doesn't last very long. You almost have to carry the bottle around with you to reapply before an evening out or something. Please make a perfume!
Kimono Rose
My favorite fragance is Rose the Kimono Rose cologne is closet to the real Rose.
Kimono Rose Cologne
I have used this perfume for a while now and made the mistake of ordering recently from a "discount" perfume website. What I received was decidedly not Kimono Rose and I returned it. I then ordered from Thyme and got exactly what I wanted, at a reasonable price. My advice is: don't purchase from anyone else but the original supplier. I wish Thyme would make a perfume in Kimono Rose. While the cologne is lovely, the scent doesn't last for very long on me.

The eternity of God, the frailty of man. (1-6) Submission to Divine chastisements. (7-11) Prayer for mercy and grace. (12-17)
Verses 1-6 It is supposed that this psalm refers to the sentence passed on Israel in the wilderness, ( Numbers 14 ) . The favour and protection of God are the only sure rest and comfort of the soul in this evil world. Christ Jesus is the refuge and dwelling-place to which we may repair. We are dying creatures, all our comforts in the world are dying comforts, but God is an ever-living God, and believers find him so. When God, by sickness, or other afflictions, turns men to destruction, he thereby calls men to return unto him to repent of their sins, and live a new life. A thousand years are nothing to God's eternity: between a minute and a million of years there is some proportion; between time and eternity there is none. All the events of a thousand years, whether past or to come, are more present to the Eternal Mind, than what was done in the last hour is to us. And in the resurrection, the body and soul shall both return and be united again. Time passes unobserved by us, as with men asleep; and when it is past, it is as nothing. It is a short and quickly-passing life, as the waters of a flood. Man does but flourish as the grass, which, when the winter of old age comes, will wither; but he may be mown down by disease or disaster.
Verses 7-11 The afflictions of the saints often come from God's love; but the rebukes of sinners, and of believers for their sins, must be seen coming from the displeasure of God. Secret sins are known to God, and shall be reckoned for. See the folly of those who go about to cover their sins, for they cannot do so. Our years, when gone, can no more be recalled than the words that we have spoken. Our whole life is toilsome and troublesome; and perhaps, in the midst of the years we count upon, it is cut off. We are taught by all this to stand in awe. The angels that sinned know the power of God's anger; sinners in hell know it; but which of us can fully describe it? Few seriously consider it as they ought. Those who make a mock at sin, and make light of Christ, surely do not know the power of God's anger. Who among us can dwell with that devouring fire?
Verses 12-17 Those who would learn true wisdom, must pray for Divine instruction, must beg to be taught by the Holy Spirit; and for comfort and joy in the returns of God's favour. They pray for the mercy of God, for they pretend not to plead any merit of their own. His favour would be a full fountain of future joys. It would be a sufficient balance to former griefs. Let the grace of God in us produce the light of good works. And let Divine consolations put gladness into our hearts, and a lustre upon our countenances. The work of our hands, establish thou it; and, in order to that, establish us in it. Instead of wasting our precious, fleeting days in pursuing fancies, which leave the possessors for ever poor, let us seek the forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance in heaven. Let us pray that the work of the Holy Spirit may appear in converting our hearts, and that the beauty of holiness may be seen in our conduct.
Psalms 90:1-17 . Contrasting man's frailty with God's eternity, the writer mourns over it as the punishment of sin, and prays for a return of the divine favor. A Prayer [mainly such] of Moses the man of God--( Deuteronomy 33:1 , Joshua 14:6 ); as such he wrote
1. dwelling-place--home (compare Ezekiel 11:16 ), as a refuge ( Deuteronomy 33:27 ).
2. brought forth [and] formed--both express the idea of production by birth.
3. to destruction--literally, "even to dust" ( Genesis 3:19 ), which is partly quoted in the last clause.
4. Even were our days now a thousand years, as Adam's, our life would be but a moment in God's sight ( 2 Peter 3:8 ).
a watch--or, third part of a night (compare Exodus 14:24 ).
5, 6. Life is like grass, which, though changing under the influence of the night's dew, and flourishing in the morning, is soon cut down and withereth ( Psalms 103:15 , 1 Peter 1:24 ).
7, 8. For--A reason, this is the infliction of God's wrath.
troubled--literally, "confounded by terror" ( Psalms 2:5 ). Death is by sin ( Romans 5:12 ). Though "secret," the light of God's countenance, as a candle, will bring sin to view ( Proverbs 20:27 , 1 Corinthians 4:5 ).
9. are passed--literally, "turn," as to depart ( Jeremiah 6:4 ).
spend--literally, "consume."
as a tale--literally, "a thought," or, "a sigh" ( Ezekiel 2:10 ).
10. Moses life was an exception ( Deuteronomy 34:7 ).
it is . . . cut off--or, "driven," as is said of the quails in using the same word ( Numbers 11:31 ). In view of this certain and speedy end, life is full of sorrow.
11. The whole verse may be read as a question implying the negative, "No one knows what Thy anger can do, and what Thy wrath is, estimated by a true piety."
12. This he prays we may know or understand, so as properly to number or appreciate the shortness of our days, that we may be wise.
13. (Compare Psalms 13:2 ).
let it repent--a strong figure, as in Exodus 32:12 , imploring a change in His dealings.
14. early--promptly.
15. As have been our sorrows, so let our joys be great and long.
16. thy work--or, providential acts.
thy glory--( Psalms 8:5 , 45:3 ), the honor accruing from Thy work of mercy to us.
17. let the beauty--or sum of His gracious acts, in their harmony, be illustrated in us, and favor our enterprise.

bigshot Posts: 2As a current Titan owner I am very disappointed in Nissan. I traded in my old Dodge Ram and bought the Titan, I said I would never own another Dodge truck again. Nissan did a poor job of marketing the Titan and of course gas prices havn't helped. I just hope they at least keep the Nissan 5.6L engine and tranny, its so much further advanced then the old style pushrod Hemis.
jatkinson Posts: 1I have had a titan since 06 and I have owned chevy's, fords, mazda, and last of all a dodge that I traded for my titan. and every other truck I have owned has had transmision issues or engine issues my last chevy the engine blew at 4000 miles then the last ford I had- 3 transmisions 8 sets of front brakes fuel pump etc, the last dodge transmision and a host of other issues. now i will admit I am very tuff on my trucks but d#$$% it they should be built tuff for as much as we have to pay for them. My Nissan now has 99134 miles on it and I have only had small things go wrong with it and NISSAN you are making a very VERY big mistake. I will not ever purchase your TITAN/RAM truck. :mad:
texastitan09 Posts: 1:mad: I have a 09 titan SE and I love my truck, I have owned and driven all brands of truck at one point or another in my life . Some better than others. My titan provides a good mix of some of the best qualities available from most of its rivals. However when I learned of nissan's plans to use a dodge ram platform for the new titan I got a little sick. First let me say I have owned a dodge ram so I think I can speak on quality of this truck. Dodge is a over priced piece of s-it!!!! every one of them even the new ones!!!!!!!. Nissan is making a huge mistake on this, if I wanted a dodge and I dont I would have bought one . This is the last nissan i will ever buy!! I am so sad to see it go like this.
bwilson5 Posts: 1Nissan North American announced they will continue to build the Titan without Dodge. The Titan does have awhile before it's redesigned, being that 2011 was the scheduled date for the new Dodge Titan. They said it wouldn't be until 2014 when the new Titan should hit the market. This is good news for Titan owners... I believe there was a link to the full article on www.TitanTalk.com...

Song Video
Information About You Are My Sunshine
The origins of "You Are My Sunshine" are murky since the rights to the song were signed over numerous times. It has since been used in various commercials, shows and videos. It was originally a country song.

Alternative Lyrics & Related Songs
This version pays tribute to Louisiana
Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
A love song version
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I woke dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away.
I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only same the same
But leave me and love another
And you'll regret it all someday.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away.
In my dreams dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take the blame.
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away.

In the love song version the first verse seems very dark. Almost as if the lover has died. The second is also dark sounding. "And you'll regret it all someday," sounds a bit like something a revenge killer would say. Maybe it's just my way of thinking but the real song is much darker than the version we grew up with.

This song and page from a Page-a-Day calendar called Today Is Going To Be A Great Day (which I couldn't find the page on the internet) inspires me.

My dad sang this song to me all the time when I was little, and I loved it. It is one of my favorite memories. He's gone, now, but I can still hear his voice in my memories.
