I am already neutered, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Andy is a very special boy and will require a very special home. Andy was a breeding Sheltie in his past life. He is small 20 lbs., but has a very full, beautiful coat. Since he has entered rescue, he has grown to love soft beds, toys and play with other dogs. Andy requires a special kind of patience. He has learned to come in when called and meal times are very special times. Andy is not barker, but does want you to know when he needs out and sometimes in the excitement of play. He enjoys daily naps in his safe spots. He is crate trained. Andy is very intelligent and would do best in a home with another dog to help teach him the routine.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he sojourned in Gerar. | 1 Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, |
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | 2 and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her. |
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken. For she is a man's wife. | 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman." |
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation? | 4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? |
5 Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this. | 5 Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister,' and didn't she also say, 'He is my brother'? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands." |
6 And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. | 6 Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. |
7 Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live. And if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. | 7 Now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all yours will die." |
8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. And the men were sore afraid. | 8 Early the next morning Abimelech summoned all his officials, and when he told them all that had happened, they were very much afraid. |
9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? And wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. | 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said, "What have you done to us? How have I wronged you that you have brought such great guilt upon me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should not be done." |
10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? | 10 And Abimelech asked Abraham, "What was your reason for doing this?" |
11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place. And they will slay me for my wife's sake. | 11 Abraham replied, "I said to myself, 'There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.' |
12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife: | 12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife. |
13 and it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me. At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. | 13 And when God had me wander from my father's household, I said to her, 'This is how you can show your love to me: Everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother." ' " |
14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | 14 Then Abimelech brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him. |
15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee. Dwell where it pleaseth thee. | 15 And Abimelech said, "My land is before you; live wherever you like." |
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee. And in respect of all thou art righted. | 16 To Sarah he said, "I am giving your brother a thousand shekels of silver. This is to cover the offense against you before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated." |
17 And Abraham prayed unto God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bare children. | 17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls so they could have children again, |
18 For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. | 18 for the LORD had closed up every womb in Abimelech's household because of Abraham's wife Sarah. |

LeBron James won another MVP, as is tradition, ergo Nike hooked him up with some special MVP shoes, as is tradition. These bad riders are the LeBron X "What the MVP" edition, his fourth such MVP shoe and easily the craziest thing we've seen on his feet. Just look at these things.
Maybe I am miscounting, but I see 7,500 different colors on these. There are so many colors that if someone asked you what color they were, you might say purple, but you'd probably say, "All of them, I guess." And you'd kind of be right. It's like Nike challenged themselves to make the craziest looking version of this shoe that they possibly could — which is basically true for the Swoosh's long-running "What The" series that started with some Dunks back in 2007 and which has shown up on shoes for Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and even some one-off versions of LeBron's last signature shoe that were just for LeBron and his buds — and succeeded. Even the laces are different colors. Even the lace locks are different colors.
After putting on these wild shoes for his celebration, LeBron couldn't stop looking at them and went 1-6 in the first half of last night's Game 1 loss to the Chicago Bulls. He promptly changed in to a more sedate pair of the Nike LeBron X Elite and scored 22 of his 24 points after the switch, leading ESPN's SportsNation to literally ask fans "Was it the shoes?" that led to LeBron's excellent second half, to which the fans responded, "Nope." Smart fans.
The shoes will be hitting retail, but Nike's website has no details other than that they "will be available in limited quantities at select retailers" and that they're coming out "soon." Suffice it to say, these are going to be expensive and hard to get your hands on. But on the plus side, if you do, you're getting like 40 different shoes out of the deal. That's a lot of bang for the buck, not to mention two different lace locks.
More shots after the jump.
(Shouts to SoleCollector's Nick DePaula for helping with the "What The" backstory.)

BOGOTA, Colombia, May 29, 2013 – The streets of Bogotá have never kept up with traffic. The old down town with its narrow streets and lack of credible parking enforcement is a nightmare. Even the new neighborhoods and multiple wide avenues suffer from over congestion.
With its wonderful, spring like weather, terrific location, museums, historic sites, great restaurants, and courteous citizens, Bogotá could be a prime destination in the world. What stops it? Traffic.
Progressive and not so progressive municipal administrations have tried over the years to remedy this ailment. At one time trucks were banned from entering the city at certain times during the day.
To this day there is a ban on half of the private cars from entering the city on each weekday, wide avenues have been constructed to funnel cars in and out of the city, bike routes have been built on almost all main thoroughfares called "cycle-routes" (ciclo rutas) and more. The largest and most effective measure taken to control the traffic in Bogotá has been the creation of a mass transit system called "Trans Milenio" (trans millennium).
Since the last decade of the last century, a ban on half of private vehicles has been implemented by selecting the last digits of a vehicle' license tag. On even dates, tags ending in even numbers are restricted, on odd dates those ending in odd digits are restricted.
All garages, private and public, and parking lots publish these numbers daily in a frame in which numbers are changed each workday. The public refers to this system as "pico y placa," roughly translated as last number and license tag.
Taking to Bikes Solves Part of the Problem
Paradoxically, the result has seen a boom in automobile sales in which upper middle class buyers insist on getting a license tag ending in even numbers if their first car's license ends in odd number and vice versa. It is not unusual to see a home with two, three or more cars in their garage/drive way. This was never the case only a decade ago. While this system prevents all the vehicles in a home to be on the road during rush hour, it is not as efficient as it could be.
The so called "cyclo routes" program has been fairly effective. One sees these routes on the wide sidewalks of new avenues and on the medium strip. During dry weather a significant portion of the population bikes to work. Many claim that the riders get to work faster by this mode of transportation over short distances. However, this pales in comparison on what occurs on weekends and holidays.
On these days, known as "ciclovia" days; the city closes hundreds of miles of its arterial streets and surrenders them to the bikers. In excess of one million people crowd the closed streets to ride, jog, walk, and exercise. Fitness stations are set along the routes to encourage exercise, good nutrition and, in general, good health. Food stations and entertainment are also provided. While this measure may not lessen traffic, it is an excellent way to encourage exercising and may contribute the increased use of bikes as transportation.
Trans Milenio May Offer A Global Answer
During the 1990s, a forward-looking administration in Bogotá came up with a solution to its mass transit problems. At that time multiple bus companies and independent operators competed for the citizens' fares. The situation was more than chaotic and was also very inefficient.
The solution consisted in creating a consortium with the existing bus companies. A planning board came up with the routes that the system would have, the type of stations, the type of vehicles, and its connecting, feed and distribution routes.
Once the types of buses were decided on, all public transportation companies were given the opportunity to purchase buses, hire conductors and participate in the system. Revenue from the system is distributed according to participation and estimates on the relative ridership of each bus.
This idea resolved two critical issues: it decreased the opposition of the bus companies by giving them a chance to participate and it funded a big portion of the costs of the system. Fares are only around $1 USD for each trip, regardless of how long it is. This has to be the cheapest public transportation in the world.
This system has been seen as a model for affordable public transportation in the world. Experts from all over the world are received frequently to inspect it and take the idea back to their cities.
MORE ABOUT COLOMBIA: The legend of El Dorado and Bogotá as a successful tourist destination
Sadly, there is evidence that after a rash of creativity that saw cyclo routes, ciclovia and Tran Milenio flourish, new administrations have been less that fully supportive of these improvements. Citizens that I talked to indicate that the new administrations don't see these projects as their legacy and may not have taken full ownership.
A sibling rivalry between Bogotá and Medellín, the second largest city in Colombia, has brought the idea of building a subway system in the former to catch up with the latter. Countless studies have been paid to determine feasibility. Obstacles to subways are the soils in the area and the wetlands that are common to Bogotá.
It seems that the quality of life in Bogotá is now reaching a crisis and that the traffic problem will have to be resolved before Bogotá can fully benefit from the tourist dollar. Even if this is not a priority, the city's residents deserve a rational transportation system that continues to keep pace with the population and urban expansion.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ferbie!
Facts about Ferbie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ferbie's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Ferbie- this adorable brown tiger boy was found as an 8 week old kitten with outside strays. He was injured somehow and has a funny gait when he walks and runs. By the time he was found nothing could be done to correct this,but he gets around fine. He can actually run pretty fast. He is shy at first and may feel self conscious with other animals because of his "handicap" . But once you hold him he relaxes. He would need someone with patience. It would be great if he could go with another kitty.He is about 6 months old, neutered, up to date on shots, Leukemia neg, wormed. It would help to have a vet reference.Please call Therese :610-248-7399 or Linda: 610-737-4057[12-20-12].
Other Pets at Forgotten Felines & Fidos
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ferbie, a Germansville Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Germansville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Germansville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Germansville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Germansville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Germansville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Champions League: Manchester City deserve to be optimistic
Manuel Pellegrini does not do bullish - but Manchester City's normally deadpan manager was emboldened enough by early qualification for the Champions League knockout phase to let the mask slip just slightly.
Given City's uneasy relationship with this tournament, Pellegrini probably would have signed up for reaching the round of 16 with the last kick of their sixth and final game if it meant at last climbing the hurdle that has proved insurmountable before.
City in the Champions League
2011-12 Third in group, missing out on qualification by a point despite beating Bayern Munich in their final game. Away defeats to Bayern and Napoli cost City.
The Bayern loss was the game in which then manager Roberto Mancini accused striker Carlos Tevez of refusing to come on as substitute.
2012-13 Bottom of a group which included Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. City were without a win in the six matches amassing three points from draws.
2013-14 Qualification secured after the fourth game following three wins and a loss.
Instead, the Chilean was able to bask in the relaxation of getting the first part of the job done with two games to spare after the formality that was their 5-2 win against CSKA Moscow.
City's record in the Champions League makes grim reading. No knockout phases. No wins in last season's group stage. This was their first home win at this level since Bayern Munich were beaten 2-0 in a final, fruitless game of their campaign in December 2011.
It is a victory City will almost certainly have to repeat in the Allianz Arena if they wish to finish top of Group D and avoid the pitfalls associated with ending up second going into the last 16 draw.
But Pellegrini was buoyant. Well, buoyant for this most understated of men, as he set his sights on that target and then made an even bolder claim.
Pellegrini insists City can beat any team left in the Champions League - although the straight bat was quickly out again to admit any team left in the last 16 could also beat City.
For now, after two attempts at the Champions League undermined by tough draws and an apparent lack of belief against the biggest opponents, hitting this first important base is enough.
Pellegrini, however, clearly has great confidence in his team. He should know when to be in such a frame of mind as the man who guided Villarreal to the 2006 semi-final and was only a freak last few moments away from toppling eventual finalists Borussia Dortmund with Malaga last season.
In the cold light of day Pellegrini's assertion does not bear too close scrutiny given City's history, or lack of it, in the Champions League but this has been much more impressive stuff this season.
"Aguero and Negredo will be a handful for any defence - but will Pellegrini play both against the better teams if City move further into the competition?"
It may be wise for City and Pellegrini to walk before they can run but there is no doubt they have the weaponry to hurt the biggest teams. Their flaw is that they have weaknesses that may mean the big teams will hurt them even more.
For all their fine work in reaching the last 16 so early, their one encounter with elite opposition ended with a harsh lesson being handed out by holders Bayern in a 3-1 win at The Etihad.
So where does Pellegrini find the roots of his optimism? Certainly in the shape of a world-class striker in a rich vein of form with the talent to break down any defence.
Sergio Aguero's penalty that set City on their way made him the club's top scorer in Europe with 11, edging ahead of the great Francis Lee. It was the sixth game in a row in which the Argentine has hit the target and he added a second for good measure.
And his partnership with Alvaro Negredo was simply too much for CSKA, with the Spaniard's hat-trick confirming his status at City's new cult hero.
The powerful, bustling Negredo has been christened "The Beast" at The Etihad and the old Shaun Goater chant of "Feed The Goat And He Will Score" has been rewritten in his honour. Such is his new-found status that he was even announced as "Beast Of The Match" by a PA announcer entering into the spirit of the occasion.
Aguero and Negredo will be a handful for any defence - but will Pellegrini play both against the better teams if City move further into the competition?
He went with two strikers, Aguero and Edin Dzeko, against Bayern Munich and the tactic was swiftly exposed as City were completely overrun in midfield and consequently in defence. Will it make Pellegrini, a naturally attacking coach it should be said, reluctant to using it again?
Samir Nasri could rarely have played better in his City career than he did on Tuesday, a constant creative source, and the graceful David Silva is all subtle touches and danger.
City have options in midfield but there must still be concerns defensively. The only negative about this win was the occasional carelessness that allowed this uninspiring CSKA side opportunities.
It may simply have been complacency as City had it so easy and served as a warning for the greater tests ahead. How they will need the leadership and organisational skills of their outstanding captain Vincent Kompany when the knockout games start.
Fortunately for Pellegrini, his excellence in ensuring City have qualified after four games means he has some extra time to ponder problems and attempt to discover solutions.
For now, Pellgrini and City can be delighted with a job well done. They have finally crossed the Champions League barrier after so much suffering - and if Pellegrini is not allowed some optimism now when is he allowed it?

7th November 2013 - 11:03Funny couple of games, Chelsea could have been three down in ten minutes, Arsenal could have been three down in twenty minutes. Both clubs stablized and then just swept the opponents aside.
So much for the BL loving sheep following herd.
Really looking forward to Arsenal/MU now. Arsenal win that and they have to join MC/CFC as genuine title possibles. Not often I cheer Moye's Muppets on, lol :).

Tiffany Bishop
As a child growing up in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, Tiffany Bishop could see the red-brick façade of IIT's Main Building from Dunbar Park, where she often attended her father's summer softball games. So when she developed an interest in chemical engineering, IIT seemed a natural choice. In her third year as an IIT student, she took an elective course in abnormal psychology and decided to switch majors.
"Through discussions with my adviser, Joyce Hopkins, I decided to apply for the graduate program in clinical psychology," explains Bishop. "During my time at IIT, I have found the faculty to be knowledgeable, supportive, and really invested in the success of the students."
A practicum at the University of Chicago Department of Pediatric Neuropsychology gave her the opportunity to evaluate children with various medical, behavioral, and emotional disorders, and to make recommendations to families and schools on how to address their problems. These experiences opened the door to her career path.
After completing an internship and fellowship at the University of Minnesota, she began her postdoctoral fellowship at the Dirksen Center for Neuropsychology, a facility specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults.
Bishop sees pediatric neuropsychology as being a perfect fit for her. "I love children and it combines my interest in psychology with my analytical nature, thanks to my engineering roots," she says. Her long-term plan is to establish a multidisciplinary pediatric clinic in an underserved area, perhaps on Chicago's South Side, not very far from the red-brick building she recalls from her youth.

We have 3 large horses and have started making compost from their manure, urine and pelleted bedding.
The compost is wonderful, smells earthy and feels good. I used it for the first time this spring on my beds and have had the largest most prolific blooming peonies ever. The hostas with them are huge. We have had no weeds so I am sure it is well cured. We have a large amount about every three to four weeks. Does anyone think there is a market for this? |

Our local composting giant bases his entire operation on the adjacent horse racing track. So YES, there is! He adds other materials from places that would otherwise have to pay fines to dump their materials down the drain. Places like dairies, breweries, and soft drink bottlers are not allowed to dump into our sewer system because the content and quantity of their waste kills the specialized sewage treatment microbes at the sewage processing plant. The sewage dumping fine is $1,000 per day (retroactive), so those places pay the composting company significantly less to allow them do dump their truckloads of waste on the compost piles. This is something to keep in mind as your composting operation grows. Other sources for horse manure are your local veterinarians. I have an e-friend in Alabama who started a composting business on dung collected entirely from veterinarian businesses. Search the web for CaptainCompostAL. |

Bethesda's Dishonored hits North American stores tomorrow, ahead of the Dishonored release date of Friday, October 12 in the UK.
We put in plenty of hours with the game to bring you CVG's Dishonored review, in which we scored the stealth adventure 9.5 and labelled it "one of the greatest games of the generation".
While we were at it, we also captured a load of footage from the console versions to bring you the Dishonored PS3 vs. Xbox 360 gameplay comparison video below.
Dishonored has received a very positive critical reception across the board, and we've gathered up as many verdicts as we can find for our Dishonored review round-up.
The game's set for release on PC as well as consoles. Which version will you be picking up, if any?

"Fantastic interpretation of centuries-old architecture without just mimicking it. Not a reproduction but an interpretation. Stately and interesting use of windows." –Bill Devereaux
Though it looks like it's been around for decades, this "Super Prime" 19,000-square-foot English country house is new construction. It was influenced by the Arts & Crafts style homes of the early 1900s. The architect describes it as "a successful marriage of traditional craft skills, with both sustainable technology and passive design."
The primary challenge was to maintain the charm of a traditional English country home, while incorporating contemporary building technologies, techniques and sustainability. The result is a home that is highly energy efficient and practical to maintain, while incorporating the luxury finishes and facilities expected in a property of this caliber.
For this construction with a high level of personalization and customization, Marvin was the obvious window and door solution. The Clad Ultimate Push-Out Casement system worked beautifully with the specific style of the home design, while maintaining the practicality and efficiency the architect strove for.

Easy Activity to Entertain Kids in Waiting Rooms
I love this idea from Tot Treasures for these easy-t0-make activity sticks that will keep your kids busy while waiting for a table at a restaurant or in the waiting room at a doctor's office. And all it takes to make them is a trip to the office supply store.
You'll need:
– a pencil case or pouch
– an assortment of craft sticks
– adhesive Velcro circles
Then simply attach the Velcro circles on each end of the craft sticks, and store inside the pencil case. When you're out and about (or even when you're home) your child can build all kinds of letters, shapes, and designs. Plus, it'll fit easily in your purse and if you lose one stick it's easy to replace—just make a new one!
How do you keep your little ones entertained at restaurants or doctors' offices?
Get more ideas for fun family activities here.

On the Facebook Hack blog there's an announcement about a new tool they've created to "reverse engineer" Hack code and turn it back into normal PHP - the Hack Transpiler. There's also more information in the Facebook announcement:
Today, we're proud to announce a first, experimental release of h2tp, or the "HH (Hack) Transpiler," a tool which allows projects that have converted from PHP to Hack to still make releases that target the PHP language.
Since the launch of Hack, many community members have asked us how to manage forward compatibility. Hack is backwards-compatible with PHP - if you're running PHP on HHVM, Hack code will seamlessly integrate with it. But the inverse is not true.
The announcement talks about the things that make Hack, well, Hack and how it's not just a simple find and replace to convert it back into PHP. Their "h2tp" tool also converts things like collections and short lambda expressions back into structured PHP. To illustrate, they include some before and after code, showing the addition and substitution of PHP for the Hack shorthand operators. The post also covers some of the hurdles they faced during the implementation of the "h2tp" tool, including error handling.

Let's be honest - historically, Treyarch's Call of Duty titles have always been dismissed as time fillers until the next Infinity Ward title.
However, with Call of Duty: Black Ops Treyarch isn't sitting back and coasting on the success of MW2, it's taking a risk with some new innovations.
Here are a few reasons why Treyarch's Black Ops could top Modern Warfare 2.
Air Rage
In the Payback mission, your squad escape capture with a stolen Hind helicopter, and guess what? You actually take control.
That's right, you steer the chopper as you rain havoc on the lush forests of Laos. The controls are similar to those that move your character, and only the altitude is done automatically.
It's a great touch that marks a deliberate attempt to move away from on-rails sequences.
Terror Underground
In the closing act of the mission entitled Victor Charlie, the main character Mason and his squadmate Swift enter a Vietnamese tunnel system.
It's a sequence that'll be familiar to fans of war films, and is very claustrophobic and unnerving. You'll only have a torch to light your way and the echoing voices of your enemies to warn of coming attacks.
Reznov's Edge
Grizzled Russian vet Reznov - of World at War fame - makes a reappearance. Our first sighting of him was in the aforementioned tunnel sequence.
The gravel-voiced soldier very nearly catches a bullet when he startles Mason, but proves his worth later by saving him from a knife-happy aggressor.
Pooled Talent
Treyarch's team is made up of a pool of developers who previously worked on World at War, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Quantum of Solace.
The experience of working on such a diverse trio of games has helped improve their latest shooter. Teams of devs worked on individual elements and strived to make the game as fun as it is intense. As a result, new features such as swimming have been added.
Cinematic Style
We're only guessing here, but we reckon the development team must have had a few movie nights when they started work on Black Ops.
At its most dramatic, it recalls scenes from Vietnam classics such as Platoon and the Deer Hunter. There are great moments that display an impressive cinematic flair.
How about stealthily blowing up an encampment while crouching in a pen full of pot-bellied pigs.
One mission begins with Mason sprawled on the floor of a downed chopper. As water seeps in and the pilots are efficiently slaughtered by the approaching enemy, he fights back.
But before long, the river claims the wreckage and our hero is forced to swim to safety. He emerges on an enemy canoe, takes a hostage and shoots his way clear.
It's a short sequence that's brilliantly paced and hugely exciting.
Go Quietly
Treyarch recognise that truly great shooters have moments of extreme tension as well as extreme action.
In one, Victor Charlie Mason and his pals sneak through an encampment, silencing enemies as they go.
In another particularly brilliant moment, Mason swims beneath a walkway as the bodies of those felled by his mates plunge into the river from above.
One of the strongest elements of the game is its fantastic setting. The lush jungle environments and sprawling encampments are a refreshing change from churning mud of WWII and sandy expanses of Modern Warfare.
The sense of trepidation as you explore such unfamiliar and occasionally imposing places could rank this as one of the year's most tensest shooters.
And The Rest...
So we've got more stealth than before, moments of extreme tension and an impressive and occasionally beautiful setting; what more could you ask for?
Well, how about new weapons, such as a crossbow that's ideal for stealthy scenarios? Or a plot that explores military cover-ups, and standalone co-op missions?
And if all that isn't quite exciting enough for you, you can always shell out for the Prestige edition of the game to get the remote controlled car bomb killstreak.

Modular seed trays
Good quality compost
Plant labels
Cut flowers really brighten up a home, and growing your own can save you a fortune on floristry bills. There are plenty of varieties suitable for cutting, including 'everlasting' flowers, which can be cut and dried to use in arrangements all year round. Also, many attract bees, butterflies and other insects, providing a valuable resource for our native wildlife.
Raise cut flowers from seed in small pots or modular trays during spring, and the cut-flower plants will be ready to plant out in May. Use them to fill gaps in summer borders or grow larger quantities in rows on the allotment or veg plot. Stagger sowings by a few weeks to give you a regular supply of blooms.
Many of the best summer blooms are easy-to-grow hardy annuals and, with seeds costing less than £2 per packet, you can enjoy a mass of colour even on a tight budget.
Cut flowers that are easy to grow from seed include Ammi, Antirrhinum, cosmos, larkspur, Nigella, scabious, sunflowers and zinnia.For flowers to dry, consider quaking grass, sea lavender, strawflower and Rhodanthe.
Fill a modular tray with seed compost, tap to settle, then level the surface. Where space is limited, you could sow in a small pot or tray.
Sow one to three seeds per module, checking the seed packet for sowing depth. Moisten your fingers, to help pick up individual seeds.
Cover the seeds with vermiculite or seed compost, label the tray, then water well. Cover with a propagator lid or plastic film.
Keep the tray on a sunny windowsill or in a heated propagator until germination. Thin seedlings to leave one or two per module.

hi can you make a spot in a bed and use it like a giant tray covering with fleece till the seelings take. thanks mary
fidgetbones 02/03/2014 at 20:44
You can make a seed bed in the ground and then transplant or thin, but this only really works for hardy annuals. Sowing in a tray in a propagator means that the seedlings are less likely to be eaten by slugs, scratched up by cats, pulled up by birds etc. Also half hardy or tender annuals need to have more heat to germinate and be protected from frost.

Samsung UE46F7000 (£1400)
The best game in the world right now deserves a quality screen, and the 46in Samsung UE46F7000 (£1400 from Currys) hits the sweet spot – with all the smarts of the larger 8000 and great picture quality – but shedding the the flashy design elements (and shaving a considerable amount off the price in the process).
Want something a little smaller and more affordable? The Sony KDL-32W654A can be yours for £380 (from HiSpek), cramming a Full HD picture into its 32in frame, and offering up integrated Wi-Fi and Freeview HD for when playtime's over. Perfect for a bedroom gaming setup.
More after the break...
Grand Theft Auto 5 Collector's Edition (£110)
Good luck getting your hands on one of these, they're in short supply. But shop around and you can find them – some stores have a few copies in stock, and there's always the second-hand market.
This absurdly-OTT box comes packaged with a security bag and a New Era 9Fifty cap – bin them swiftly, and rummage around for the blueprint map that yields up game secrets under a blacklight. Best of all, you get exclusive online DLC - classic GTA characters that can be used as parents in GTA Online's character creation system, plus the Khamelion high-end electric car. Drive it and everyone will try to kill you for being the sort of person who drops £100+ on a Collector's Edition copy of the game.

16-year veteran Wendy Doolan retires
Wendy Doolan always knew the Evian Masters was going to be the last stop in her LPGA career when considering retirement, but she didn't know the 2012 event was going to be it.
Just days after returning from the site of her third career victory, Doolan was at peace when she reached the conclusion that this was the end of her chapter on the LPGA Tour.
"After I made it through the first two rounds I was looking at where my shots were and looking at what I had done and looking at the scores that the other girls posted, I realized I didn't have it in me to shoot those low numbers that week," Doolan said. "When I came back as I got healthy, I worked really hard to get my game back but I just wasn't seeing the results for my work.
I realized what needed to happen in order to be at that level again and my passion for doing that work had changed. I always promised myself that if I didn't feel like I could have an opportunity to win, I was going to pursue something else."
Although she missed the cut in her final event, it was still a special week for Doolan as one of her former students, Artie Edelman, was her caddy. She was able to spend time with his family and soak in the ambiance of France one last time.
Doolan began the 2012 season hoping to make a comeback from a nearly two-year break hoping to reestablish a career that showed so much promise early on. She earned her status on the LPGA Tour in 1995 after competing in a seven-way playoff in the Final Qualifying Tournament. It took nearly six years to get her feet wet but posted her first victory in 2001 with two more following in 2003 and 2004. Her time on the course was limited in recent years with rib injuries and breast cancer treatment, but just as she seemed to be back to a healthy state, she wasn't able to rediscover the magic in her game. It's a bittersweet good-bye for the 43-year-old, but she felt it was time to begin a new adventure.
"There are so many things I am looking forward to doing," Doolan says. "I'm looking forward to being at home. I've only been married for four years and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with my husband. I'm looking forward to this new adventure and developing a new career and it's exciting.
"I'm looking forward to saying 'yes' a lot, because now I don't have to worry about getting on a plane week to week. And it's really important to me that I get involved with my church. God has done a lot in my life and opened many doors already and I'm looking forward to exploring those opportunities."
The Aussie says her passion for golf will never cease, even if she isn't competing. Although she's unsure of what's in store for the future, she plans to channel her abilities into coaching younger golf generations.
"The LPGA organization is not something that I want to walk away from," Doolan says. "I would love to be involved in whatever way I can and I look forward to whatever that may mean in the future away from tournament golf.
"I'm looking forward to new opportunities. There are many things I want to do. I would like the opportunity to be involved in a golf academy and help young players. I really enjoy working with young players. When I was injured a couple years ago I started a teaching business at Grasslands Country Club in Lakeland and I'm going to continue doing that. The LPGA teaching division is something that I would like to be a part of as well. I would like to get my credentials and be active in that in some way."
For Doolan, 16 seasons on the LPGA Tour is a time in her life she will never forget and she is forever grateful to have played a part in the organization.
"The LPGA has afforded me the ability to see the world, live in America, and enjoy a country club lifestyle which I could have never dreamed of living in Australia," Doolan said. "I've met so many people over the years who have affected my decisions, my personal decisions and career decisions. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be exposed to all that and I hope to continue to mentor the young players I had the opportunity to develop relationships with.
"Joining the LPGA Tour was just a dream come true. I started playing competitive golf when I was 15 and doing junior events and representing Australia, and ever since then I had dreamt about playing on the LPGA so it was a dream come true just to play."

I left off the red onions (because it already had green onions, and I didn't want that much onion flavor) and substituted balsamic vinegar for the cane vinegar (because I couldn't find cane vinegar in any of the local stores). The salad is colorful, has lots of great textures, and is very yummy! I will definitely m..."

Nite Ize Clip Case Cargo Holster is the only brand of cell phone holster that I will use. The belt clip is the toughest that I could find. I have tried many belt holsters and the other brands cannot last as long and secure as your product. I needed a tough and secure belt holster that will not come off my belt. This is the best holster on the market.

Porter County boat show offers options for all budgets
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent January 27, 2012 3:00PM
Marcel Thomas of Hobart (right) talks with Jason Doolittle of Fay's Marina in LaPorte about a 614 Paddle Qwest pontoon during the annual Boat Show kicked off Friday at the Porter County Expo Center in Valparaiso, Ind. January 27, 2012. The show continues through the weekend. | Stephanie Dowell~Sun-Times Media

VALPARAISO — One day, Marcel Thomas will own a boat.
Not this year, the Hobart resident said Friday at the annual boat show at the Porter County Expo Center, but in the future, and he already has one picked out.
"I think that's the ideal one for me right there," he said, nodding toward a small, paddle-powered pontoon boat. "It looks like it's easy to trailer. It's just the right size. You don't need a motor. That's for a good, small lake."
Noting that the boat is also affordable, Thomas said he's looking for lake property within a five-hour drive of this area, and when he finds that property, he's going to want a boat to go with it.
The 14th annual boat show continues from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Expo Center, 215 E. Division Road. Parking and admission are free.
This is a good time of year to buy a boat because many dealers are offering boat show incentives, especially on 2011 models, and buyers who want custom paint jobs or other details need to get their orders in now to get their new boats in time for the start of the season, said Bob Gross, one of the owners of Pine Crest Marine in Cedar Lake and one of the show's organizers.
The show usually draws about 2,000 people over the course of the weekend, Gross said, though the number of dealers this year is down to five, from seven or eight, because of the economy. There is a handful of other vendors as well.
Still, each of the dealers has several boats on display, from the simple pontoon boat Thomas admired to a souped-up model with a bar and other amenities, as well as traditional motorboats.
"Pontoon boats have been a very bright spot for the marine industry during a tough economy," Gross said, adding they are affordable and, depending on the motor, can accommodate water skiers.
Though Greg Moore checked out the pontoon boat with the bar, the Crown Point resident, who's retired from the steel mills, said he was just killing time for the afternoon and seeing what people get for their money.
The kind of boat he wants wasn't available at the boat show.
"It would be a kayak," he said. "I'm all about physical fitness."

Collection Overview
Table of contents
The East Palo Alto Women's Club Records consists of administrative records and artifacts documenting the club's activities from 1917-1995 (bulk 1920-1955). The collection contents include standard organizational formats such as minute record books, community service records, the organization's constitutions and by-laws, district and state reports published between 1917-1995, scrapbooks and news clippings, and certificates and awards. In addition to the printed materials the collection includes a wooden gavel and a workable seal stamp used by the organization. This collection is arranged into one series I: Administrative Records and Artifacts, 1917-1995 (bulk 1920-1955).
The East Palo Alto Women's Club Records document the history and accomplishments of the organization from 1917-1995 (bulk dates 1922-1955). Starting in 1893 as the Mother's Club, they formally incorporated on June 20, 1894 as the Woman's Club of Palo Alto with 24 members. The main objectives of the Club focused on self-improvement, mutual aide, and community work. During their formative years, club women played a significant role in city government through fund-raising efforts and demands for municipal services. Between the years 1893-1896, the club founded the first reading room and library in the city, and they contributed to the founding of the first elementary school.

Hello all... I have managed to be successful with more than a few Hoya plants since spring began, and now I am stuck with only one place for them......My plant room that I do not heat. The room never drops below the 50's and is never heated..It is upstairs in my home.. They would be hanging about two feet from the ceiling but not getting direct sun....I will be hanging them on a beam that goes across that room higher than the windows.. There is a skylight in there and this room faces south with two windows...There is LOTS of light, the brightest room and most humid one in the house, even in winter, but temps in the 50's and low 60's and no direct sun for the next few months concerns me... What do you all think? Should I be concerned? Thank you Mike |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Mike, I often leave some Hoyas out in temps into the mid-40's. In fact, just last night it got down into the 40's and I still have several out. I wouldn't worry about temps in the 50's, but just don't keep them too wet. Water them when they get mostly dry, and don't ever let them sit with water in the saucer when it's that cool. I wouldn't feed them at all until spring, too. Letting them go mostly dormant is fine. In fact, letting them do so will often mean extra good flowering next season. Sounds like you have plenty of bright indirect light, which will help. I'm betting they will be fine. Denise in Omaha |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 11:31
I think they will be fine, too, especially since it's not a drafty space. But there are some Hoyas that do less well in the cooler temps. If you want to be on the safe side, cross-check your collection against the temperature tolerance list and keep the "warm" species in a different room. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 18:44
Greedyghost and Denise..Thank you..I knew I could count on you two for the encouragement... I think they will be ok...Last year when I received them from the nursery and in mail, I had to pot a few and many came already potted, but I don't think they were ready to face the environment I provided in there in which many leaves yellowed and died.. This time they will have adjusted well as the winter approaches and not of a shock..I think they will react nicely now that I can get them use to it...The light naturally gets less and less as compared to getting them from a very sunny area from the south and then sticking them in my room last winter with sudden shock. I really hope they get use to being in there and as you said, less watering and sort of a rest period might do them well. I actually put hooks all along the huge skylight I have so many will hang get light from that....Those will thrive I am pretty sure. I will take a pic and show you what I mean... Again thanks and I will keep you all updated.. |

Mike, if they are hanging off the ceiling, the temp there may be a few degrees higher, which is good. |

EDIT: God dammit, this was meant for the thread in the Gaming section. derp.
Imma going to bump this thread. Sorry, here's a video to make you happier: Anyways, I spent half a week playing a bunch of boardgames and I remembered this thread. Time for a GAME REPORT *cough* anyways, King of Tokyo This is a fun party game. You're a monster in Tokyo. You fight other monsters. First to 20 points or last monster standing wins. Need there be any more said? You roll dice and play cards and move your standup Cyber Bunny against King-Kong and Cthulu wannabes and have a fun, silly time. And the game lasts for at most half an hour. Fun fact: this was made by the creator of Magic the Gathering (but don't worry, this is much more fun ). Flash Duel A game made by that fighting-game dick personality, David Sirlin. It's a rip-off of an older game called En Garde!, but that doesn't make this 5-15 minute filler game any worse. You and your opponent have your pieces lined up on a track and play cards to move and strike at eachother. First person to land a hit wins. Good game about distancing. Also has lots of different game modes and such. And it's not that expensive compared to many games. Good stuff. Dungeon Lords This is a fun game in of the 'worker-placement' variety. You know that videogame Dungeon Keeper from way-back-when? Imagine if it got turned into a boardgame and this might be the result. You're a titular dungeon lord trying to build the best dungeon within a couple of years, but at the end of every year some annoying adventurers try to ransack your dungeon. The game does some cool things, but it's definitely not a beginner/gateway game like Catan is. Worth playing though. Space Alert One of my top 5 board games. If you like the notion of cooperative play over player versus player, grab this. You will be playing with your friends as a crew on a Sitting Duck class space-ship trying to fight off aliens and cosmic hazards for ten minutes. The twist is that these ten minutes are played in real time via a CD soundtrack that will shout out various events and dangers at you. Play your cards and survive! The soundtrack element to this game creates an unique and wonderful time. Also, the game can be played in half an hour; although you will want to play more than once. Seriously good fun. Earth Reborn My number 1 board game. Imagine X-COM's tactical battles turned boardgame and you might get this. Each player commands their own team of unique characters and battle through various scenarios on a board that you'll construct out of various floor tiles (there's even a scenario auto-generator for near-infinite playability). Guns will be shot, zombies will be raised, mines will be blown up, and one guy will need to take a dump (I'm not making this up). The best part of all this is that the great and cheesy post-apocalyptic zombies-versus-marines theme has great gameplay behind all of it. A true gem of a game. Twilight Struggle A card-driven-game (CDG) about the Cold War. One side is US, the other is USSR. Each player is going to be playing cards as either events that cause things to happen or as operations to spread their superpower's influence across the world. This is the number-one-ranked game on boardgamegeek.com, but I never got a chance to finish a full game of it. I had fun from the little I've played, but it seems to reward repeated plays (this can be hard to pull off sometimes). I'll have to wait and see how it really plays out. Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization This is Sid Meier's Civilization turned into a card game. And somehow this is a good thing. Also rather long and extremely complex; it is a civ game after all. You'll be upgrading your tech, building wonders, managing your workers, maintaining your populace, waging wars, etc. Also I suck at it, but that's okay because the game is still fun to play. Mage Knight: Board Game Another rather long, rather complex game that is awesome. The problem with this one is that it suffers from Analysis Paralysis (AP); the game will take forever if someone takes too long thinking about their turn. Another player and I decided to sit down and exclude other people from play because the game can drag so much with newbies/slow players. As a result we had a fun four-hour romp as adventurers rampaging across the land trying to out-level eachother. Fun stuff. Overall a successful boardgame week. Fun games all around.

I'd be up for some online games of twilight struggle if you want to get your VASSL on or something.
"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." |

Dîner en Blanc
It was right after I moved to Paris earlier this year that a friend told me about the Dîner en Blanc. A giant planned/impromtu dinner party in Paris. I had so many questions about this annual event that when I discovered my friend Jenny Sundel scored an invite this year I asked her to answer a few questions about the event shrouded in mystery.
RS: What is the Diner en Blanc?
JS: Diner en Blanc is an exclusive pop-up dinner party that takes place at a top-secret Paris location. Guests don all white – as the name suggests – for the fancy outdoor affair and bring their own tables, chairs, champagne, and a four-course meal. Everything – except for the food – must be white, including candles, plates, tablecloths and chairs.
RS: Can you explain more about the logistics of the party? How and when did you find out where it was going to be held?
JS: Before the event, VERY detailed instructions are emailed to participants that include all necessary items, so everything is uniform and easy to set up. The organizer then sends you directions on where to meet – there are several meeting points – and you walk over as a group after they give you your seating location. You have ten minutes to set up and voila! It is time to eat! The level of organization and detail is truly remarkable. This year it took place at a courtyard outside the Louvre and at Notre Dame.
RS: How was it? Was it fun?
JS: Quite simply, it was the most magical dining experience of my life, eating course after course of decadent food alongside thousands of strangers in the beautiful cobblestoned courtyard of the Louvre. A jazz band played under the stars as people danced, clinked champagne glasses, shared their food, and at the end, lit sparklers in unison. At one point, the lights switched on – a wink of approval from the officials at the Louvre — further illuminating the beautiful scene before us. I turned to the guy next to me and wondered, mouth agape, "What movie are we in right now?" It was that amazing and awe-inspiring.
RS: The most important question: how do we get an invitation?
JS: It never hurts to ask. That's all I did and it turned out my friend had a plus one!
Thanks Jenny! Jenny left her magazine job in Los Angeles to go live in Paris for a year. You can read about her adventures on her blog, The Jesus Year.
FYI: The New York Times wrote an article about the Dîner en Blanc here and this year there was one held in New York and there will be one held in San Francisco next month.

Power Amplifiers
Apr 8, 2010 12:00 PM, By Bennett Liles
Traditionally, one of the most vulnerable points in any sound system has been the power amplifier. Operating at high temperatures for long periods, the power amp has always been a target for shorts and overloads, but the technology advances in the past few years have met the challenge and created a new breed of power amps offering a greater degree of local and remote control, more durable and dependable components, and better design for safety and high-quality sound. With a variety of applications, the models seen here are typical of this trend.
The Alesis RA500 uses advanced convection cooling techniques for quiet operation and provides 250W RMS power per channel with a 4Ω load and 500W RMS at 8Ω in bridged mono mode. The unit exhibits an audio frequency response of 10Hz to 70kHz +0 -3dB with a damping factor of 200. With the input control at maximum, the input sensitivity is +4dBu (1.23V) for rated output and the maximum input level is +26dBu.
The SRA-4150 from Ashly Audio has a fanless design for low-noise operation offering four channels with 150W per channel at 4Ω. The SRA line features Euroblock input connections and screw terminal outputs, signal presence and clip alert status LEDs, and individual channel audio-level controls. Amps in the STA line also have remote on/off ability and an adjustable turn on delay of up to 8 seconds. There are two choices of input sensitivity selectable by a switch on the rear panel.
For medium-sized clubs or mobile PA systems, the Europower EP4000 from Behringer features individual channel gain controls, signal and clip LEDs, selectable low-frequency filters, Toshiba/Fairchild power transistors, independent DC and thermal overload protection, and a back-to-front ventilation system with air filter. The 2-channel unit delivers 2000W into each channel at 2Ω, 1400W per channel at 4Ω, and 4000W in mono bridged mode. The inputs include both XLR and TRS jacks, and the outputs have Speakon-compatible connections.
The new AudiaFusion from Biamp Systems is a multichannel amplifier and more with open architecture DSP, 16x16 CobraNet I/O, and dual CobraNet ports. The unit is TCP/IP network-controllable and customizable with eight amplification modules per frame and either 70V/100V or low-impedance outputs. Front-panel LEDs show signal presence, peak level, clipping, heat sink temperature fault, amplifier failure, and fan stuck-rotor fault.
Capable of driving a variety of loudspeaker systems, the Bogen HTA250A has 4Ω, 8Ω, 25V, and 70V outputs and delivers 250W continuous power with 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response ±1dB. The amplifier employs MOSFET circuitry to provide high efficiency, less heat, and more power with less weight. The rear panel includes a level-setting control, AC line fuse, and auxiliary AC receptacle along with the input connections, and the front panel has an illuminated power switch and an overload/short warning LED that resets when the trouble has been fixed.
The Camco Q-Power 10 is a class-D amplifier delivering 2500W RMS into each of four channels with a 4Ω load in a 2RU chassis. The unit offers switchable limiters for channels A/B and C/D along with automatic voltage selection for 120V or 230V operation. There is also protection on inrush current, power on/off transients, and output DC along with temperature monitoring of heat sinks and transformers. Output connections include two 4-pole Speakon terminals and a covered barrier strip.
With a switched-rail class-H output stage and triple compound design, the Crest Audio CC 5500 is one of three CC Series amplifiers based on Crest's Pro 200 Series technology. The CC 5500 features a toroidal power transformer; magnetic circuit breaker power switch; mode-selector switch for stereo, mono, or bridged operation; variable-speed fan; and balanced XLR/TRS combination jacks. It can deliver 1550W into each channel at 8Ω and 5550W in bridged mono mode.

I've killed seeds several times. I finally learned to not baby them and they took off. Killed my first plant too, lol. When I got my 2nd plant I grew it in a pot the first year and it didn't seed until late fall. I started throwing the seeds back into the pot and next spring there were babies all in it and it was stuck under the house for winter with very minimal watering. The next year I planted some and left some in the pot just to see what would happen and it came back which really surprised me. I kept a backup for a few years and now I don't bother with it. I think I finally took the potted one to a swap. Anyway, I'll start you some this fall. If I see any growing around my mama plant I'll snag that for you instead and bring it to the fall swap. Glad to help. |
I have a huge pot of it, so if you're looking for it still come swap time i'm sure i can get you a divvy. I gathered and kept a bunch of the seed set last fall. I overwintered this one in the basement like deb, and it came back with a vengeance! I had one that came back faithfully for years in the garden but i think last year's drought finally did it in. It was always very late to emerge. |

I got one at a long-ago swap - more than likely the one from Root. It has done fine for years but I grow it in a pot. As far as I can tell it has never seeded in the other pots nearby and after it achieved a certain size it has never grown any bigger or fuller. I also have another "sweet herb" known as Aztec Sweet Leaf. I don't remember the scientific name but it doesn't look anything like Stevia so I doubt they are related. I have no idea if it is winter hardy but it is a FAST grower. I haven't tried to propagate it but I will for the swap. |

John, mine got bigger once I put it in the ground. I also cut it back about mid summer (my daughter uses it in koolaid) and it'll still bloom for me in the fall. I found some info from Richters about the Aztec Sweet Leaf..... http://www.richters.com/newdisplay.cgi?page=./QandA/Culinary/20010116-1.html&cart_id=105427.29178 and another discussing the difference in them..... |

the most common mistake we as women make is pass of someone 'brushing past' as a mistake or unintentional. what is troubling is this is so common that its hardy ever addressed as an 'issue'. its rare that we travel by bus or walk down the street feeling comfortable. eyes and looks can really 'pierce' if i may say so.i'm really glad that so much is being done to make both men and women 'aware'.
