i put $100 of every pay check into a separate vacation account at the bank. It adds up quick.
I start a HUGE change jar and throw all my change in there. Have a garage sale in the summer which I usually make enough for our airline tickets. I ask my parents to give us cash for b-days and Christmas then I put it away. I don't ask in-laws because they are poopy Disney people I try to put some away every paycheck but that doesn't alway happen. Since we usually go in January I have Christmas club money that I get every year. When it's a Christmas that we know we'll be going to Disney in January I put some of that away plus don't buy as many presents.
Ebay is also a good way to get some cash.
Check out the "Disney On A Dime" book. It's really helpful!

My actual trip is paid for with my tax refund but for our spending money we save coins. When I pay cash for something, I pay whole dollars only even if I have the change. Such as if it's $5.13 I pay $6 and the change is disney money. Also, my girls are members of a website called Kidzeyes. They take surveys and receive points. Each survey is usually 50-250 points. Each point is a penny. Once they get 1000 points ($10) they can request a check. When they get the checks they go to the Disney Store and either buy Disney dollars or a gift card. That is their own personal spending money. They both have about $100 in a gift card right now. The website for this is KidzEyes. You sign them up and then you have to sign parental consent forms before they let them participate.
what a neat lil thing!!

I have an ING account where I direct deposit a bit of my paycheck each period for my vacation fund and then I have joined a few reward sites online where I take surveys, get money back from online shopping I already do, and I do freebie offers on these sites and earn disney gift cards that way. I'm at $600 right now with my reward programs for the year. I'm hoping to finish the year off with $1000 with the help of some christmas shopping.
I forgot my tips though. I pick up every bit of loose change i can find. Even in the drive thrus at McDonald's or Wendy's! You'd be surprised how much change is there. I eve collect pennies from the guys at work. They hate pennies and they used to throw them in the trash! Now I have a coffee can on my desk and they drop them in there!
We partially use our tax refund. Could I use it for something else? Sure. But when you're addicted to WDW....well you know how it is.
When you wish upon a star.....
Adults are only kids grown up, anyway. WD
...That's the real trouble with the world. Too many people grow up. WD
"For those who get it, no explanation is necessary. For those who don't, no explanation will do."
We also save our aluminum cans for the recycling company. I know its not much but it goes in the gas fund. We also use a rewards card at the gas station where each dollar spent is 10 to 20 points. After so many points you can get free gift cards at the gas station for anything including GAS!!! I'm hoping to have my entire trek through Kentucky and Tennessee on the way down and back paid for by the gift cards.!
I've given up eating out this summer with my friends at work. Instead, I eat at my desk and surf forums like this to plan our trip. I save almost $50 each week for our trip.

Casting Couch: Julianne Moore Looking to Get Presidential in the 'Hunger Games' Sequels, Cameron Diaz Will Be Mean to 'Annie,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 27, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's all of the day's most pressing casting news compiled in one convenient place. Today we've got a very important update on what David Hasselhof is going to be up to next. The Germans should love this one. One of the more important characters who's going to be introduced in the next two Hunger Games movies is Alma Coin, who's the President of one of the Districts that make up the story's dystopian world—probably the most important and mysterious of all the Districts too. Anyway, she's a lady, and she's the sort of lady who projects quite a bit of competence and authority, so it's going to be important for director Francis Lawrence to find an experienced actress with some real chops to play her. Low and behold, Deadline has a report that he's likely found such an actress. According to their sources, Julianne Moore is very close to signing on to take the role, which will finally give her a chance to play a politician with some brains.
Casting Couch: Latest 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Rumors, Questions Swirl Regarding Bill Hader and 'Baywatch'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? Today it's the casting roundup with news about a talking raccoon, a frog puppet, a famous dog, a beautiful woman, and David Hasselhoff's shorts. So far Marvel's next big thing, The Guardians of the Galaxy, has been a great source of casting rumors, but not yet a generator of any casting confirmations. We've heard about a bevy of actors who might play Star-Lord, a handful who might be Drax the Destroyer, and now the Latino Review is reporting that director James Gunn and company are reaching out to both Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler to inquire about their availability for the film. What roles might they play? Perhaps they could provide the voices for either the big tree guy, Groot, or the little raccoon guy, Rocket Raccoon. I mean, it would just be too weird if either of them actually showed up playing a live action role, wouldn't it? Definitely. Even hearing Sandler's one goofy voice he uses coming out of a CG character's mouth would just be too weird already. Let's hope that rumor is completely off base.
Review: 'Piranha 3DD' Offers a Double Dose of Boring
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on June 1, 2012 | Comments (1)Piranha 3DD wasn't screened for critics, and a flood wiped out the showing I was slated to attend at the only theater featuring it in New York City. After the 45-minute round-trip subway ride for nothing, I returned to my apartment, sat down to order the movie on video on demand and had one of those brief moments of existential panic that befalls every film critic now and again: Is spending a half-day or more trying to see Piranha 3DD really what I should be doing with my life? Fortunately, I guess, I sucked it up, hit "buy," and sat through the 71-minute feature, which is padded out to 81 thanks to 10 minutes of outtakes and David Hasselhoff jokes over the closing credits. Full disclosure: I don't have a 3-D TV, so I can't comment on what it's like to see Katrina Bowden's projectile vomit propelling toward you from a big screen. If you're looking for an in-depth dissection of Piranha 3DD's third-dimensional tomfoolery, you'll have to go elsewhere.
Red Band 'Piranha 3DD' Trailer is More of the Same, But Shows the D-Cups
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf you watched the green band trailer for Piranha 3DD, then you've already seen most of what the new red band trailer has to offer. You would think that for a property this intent on gaining attention by being shocking and schlocky, there would be some sick, shocking stuff saved for the restricted audience ads…but not really. All of the same high points are here: Christopher Lloyd ranting as a crazy scientist, David Hasselhoff being a cocky dick, Gary Busey getting down and dirty with some fish heads, some fish heads getting down and dirty with Katrina Bowden, and Ving Rhames showing off his gun leg. While not getting much of anything new is kind of a disappointment, those high points are admittedly pretty high. And there is one (two?) big difference between this new trailer and the first one that got released: boobs. Lots of them. Pretty much the first 30 seconds of this ad consists of bare boobs on display while a narrator tries his best to talk in a gravely, Christian Bale voice. So if you're not at work or anything, and you haven't seen a trailer for this movie yet, you should probably make it a point to watch this one. Because things are always better with boobs.
Even Though It's 2011, Someone is Trying to Make a 'Baywatch' Movie
In Development By Nathan Adams on September 16, 2011 | Comments (2)Peter Tolan has written a number of movies, but he's probably best known at this point for his work in television. Not only was he a writer on the ridiculously influential The Larry Sanders Show, but he was also the creator of the well-liked and recently wrapped up FX drama Rescue Me. This is a guy who knows TV, so why wouldn't he be the guy tapped to do a big screen adaptation of one of the longest running and successful TV dramas of all time? No reason, I'd give him a shot at it. But the TV drama that I'd be adapting for a big screen version probably wouldn't be Baywatch. Running from 1989-2001, Baywatch was a cheesy, low quality action show about lifeguards that starred David Hasselhoff and an endless parade of bouncing bosoms. It was known for its slow motion running scenes just as much as it was for its bad dialogue and ridiculous plot lines, and probably it ran so long because it was cheap to produce and a good thing to zone out to when you were hung over on Sunday mornings. That's all fine and good, Baywatch filled its niche, but a live action movie? In 2011? Don't worry, that's not going to be an issue. Though the film is going to be called Baywatch, and Tolan has already turned in a first draft of the script, don't expect it to have anything to do with a shirtless David Hasselhoff or a wedgie sporting […]
Movie News After Dark: Rachel Weisz, David Hasselhoff, Star Trek and David Lynch Sells Coffee
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 12, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly round-up of all things interesting and wonderful happening in the world of movies. At least, that's what it was born as. Lately it's been feeling as if it might be more of a Rachel Weisz News After Dark kind of column. A Rachel Weiszsexual, if you will. And yes, that's the technical term. It's a tough affliction to live with. Because their just isn't enough Rachel Weisz in the world. Luckily Hollywood is hell-bent on changing that… Guess what this week is… Rachel Weisz week. Based on a survey of our male 18-35 demographic, which represents a solid percentage of our readership, this is somehow preferable to all of my updates about Doctor Who. I don't see why, as Doctor Who is excellent. But I can understand your affinity for Rachel Weisz news. Anyway, she's not only in line to take a high profile role in Oz the Great and Powerful and The Bourne Legacy. According to a report from Cinema Blend, Weisz is high on the list to star opposite Johnny Depp in Rob Marshall's remake of The Thin Man. Even though that film sound unnecessary, we just can't say no to more Rachel Weisz… can we?
Review: Hop is Light, Fast, Commercialized Candy
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on March 31, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAs a 25-year-old Jewish man I'm about as far removed from the Hop target demographic as one could get. I've never celebrated Easter, I consequently have no strong emotional attachment to the Easter Bunny and I'm not overwhelmed by the notion of a drummer Easter Bunny that sounds an awful lot like Russell Brand and poops out jelly beans. Yet, here we are, faced with the strange phenomenon of an obsessively-tested, painstakingly-commercial, carefully-calibrated product that shouldn't be any good at all somehow defying those odds. From director Tim Hill, this live action-animation hybrid is more than just a one-note marketing machine, despite those incessant ads on every conceivable NBC Universal platform and the salesman's desperation that underwrites it. A blatant stab at surrounding the Easter Bunny with a mythology comparable to Santa's, the picture unfolds in two settings. The first: Easter Island, home to the enormous factory that's home base for Easter operations, filled with cascading waterfalls of chocolate and bursts of colorful candy dyes. There, teenage rabbit E.B. (Russell Brand) is being groomed by dad (Hugh Laurie) to take over the family business. The picture's second main locale is the slightly less exotic Los Angeles, where slacker Fred (James Marsden) lives a tired, aimless existence. Our heroes' destinies collide when E.B. flees his fate through a magical wormhole of sorts, lands in Hollywood and thanks to Fred nearly becomes the world's most famous road kill. The tandem grows ever-closer from there, as Fred (quickly getting over any pretense of […]
Movie News After Dark: Community, The Dark Knight Rises, Superman, Dorothy of Oz and Tony Montana
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 25, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's holding out for a hero 'til the morning light. He's gotta be sure, it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life. We lead tonight with images from this evening's episode of Community, which took a jaunt into Pulp Fiction territory and played around with some Tarantino aesthetic. I haven't watched it yet, as I'm contractually obligated to watch it with my lady and I won't see her until tomorrow night, but I'm told that it was a new high mark for the show.
Shout! Factory began an impressive endeavor earlier this year with the announcement that they would be releasing monthly titles under the Roger Corman's Cult Classics banner. The titles have so far ranged from Rock n Roll High School and Death Race 2000 to Piranha and Humanoids From the Deep. Not only are they rescuing several of these flicks from VHS obscurity, but they're also adding tons of brand new special features. And the wonderfully odd and eclectic hits keep on coming with their latest addition, the 1978 Star Wars ripoff homage ripoff… Starcrash.
Direct-to-DVD Showdown: Anaconda 3 vs. Cyborg Soldier vs. Kill Switch

How to Survive a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
Today is a special day. I held my newly published book for the first time. Since the book doesn't officially come out until May 24th, 2010, you can't get one yourself for several weeks. However, you can order an autographed copy from me for $31 plus $4 shipping (see website link below or to the right). Or you can do the amazon.com pre-order now (see below).
I've added a new page that tells you why you should buy my book. And another page that has a book excerpt, not found on amazon.com's site, that will show you why you should buy this.
Or I can tell you now - If you are a healthcare provider that hasn't been sued yet there are things you don't know about your medical malpractice policy that could become a problem later on if not resolved now. There are preventative tips that could decrease the likelihood of your getting sued. And if you are unlucky enough to be involved in a lawsuit now or in the future, this book will tell you things that most physicians never realize. And what you don't know can hurt you.
In a few weeks I will have a free iphone app that you can download that will summarize some very important parts of the book. It is a quick fire guide to surviving a suit. I will update the blog when this is ready for launch. And if you don't need this app, but have an iphone, ipad, or ipod touch, please download it anyway. It will help my rankings.

422 Mr P. Fraser, N.Z. Prime Minister, to Commonwealth Government
Cablegram unnumbered WELLINGTON, 13 June 1940, 2 p.m.
We have been considering whether in the present circumstances it might not be advisable to send a message of encouragement to the French Islands administrations in the Pacific and on enquiring through the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom in New Zealand [1] we have ascertained that His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom would wish us to do so. We are accordingly contemplating the despatch today to the Governor of New Caledonia [2] and the Governor of Tahiti [3] of the following message-
'His Majesty's Government in New Zealand desire to convey to the Government and people of (New Caledonia) (French Oceania) in this tragic hour in the glorious history of France their deep and abiding sympathy. While recognising that the French Government have been compelled to capitulate under duress, we fully appreciate the heroism of the French resistance. Knowing that the French armies are laying down their arms against their will and that of the French people, the Governments of the British Commonwealth have resolved to continue to struggle and we should most highly appreciate the continued cooperation of our French Allies in (New Caledonia) (French Oceania). From New Zealand, we could of course supply you with coal and foodstuffs and we would most gladly be associated with the British Commonwealth in the continued co-operation with you and in extending to you all forms of assistance within our power. A similar communication has been addressed to the Governor (New Caledonia)'.
Before despatching this message we should be glad to receive your comments and to know whether you would consider it advisable to send similar communication.

Thesis Statements for the Argumentative Paper
The thesis statement for an argumentative paper clearly states your side of the argument and why you hold that position. The thesis statement should fulfill the following tasks:
1. The government needs to limit farm subsidies to farmers who make less than $100,000 a year profit.
2. The NCAA academic requirements need to be changed to accommodate students whose focus has been athletics and not academics.
3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations need to be enforced more strictly on farms to keep employees, employers, and children safe.
4. Without private school vouchers for taxpayers, some of America's finest schools may be closed.
5. Liberal arts requirements are outdated in a world where technology determines human success.
6. Term limitations in Congress will force members of Congress to meet their constituents' demands.
7. Passage of the Equal Rights Amendment will give women the chance to serve in combat.
8. The amendment to ban the destruction of the United States flag in protest demonstrations is a sacrifice of the First Amendment.
9. Unless people vote in favor of the levy referendum, Thief River Falls Public Schools will have to cut programs, such as art, music, and athletics, that are valuable to its students and, therefore, to the community.
10. To live in a secure nation, Americans must be willing to sacrifice basic freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

Talking about KING's X, a trio of guys from Missouri who combines funk, blues, and gospel with rock and metal to get a killer, unique sound!! The album title, "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska" was actually a "joke title" suggested by a band roadie, but it became the name of the group's second LP back in 1989. And drummer Jerry Gaskill kind of laid out a concept album from the weird name. Anyhow, one of King's best songs ever, and still a favorite at their live shows today,

Whispering Pines Health Care Center, 3301 N. Calumet Ave., Valparaiso, is a 24-hour care nursing facility that provides therapy and rehabilitation. To learn more about Whispering Pines or future fundraisers, call 462-0508 or visit the website www.wphcc.org.
Updated: December 5, 2012 6:24AM
As the presidential election nears, signs and slogans are more abundant than ever, including several political buttons promoting candidates Nixon, Agnew, Humphrey and Wallace.
These collectibles were among the interesting finds available recently at the Porter County Expo Center in Valparaiso, where Whispering Pines Health Care Center sponsored its Fall Garage Mahal. The indoor garage sale served as a fundraiser for the nursing care facility.
More than 3,000 people attended. For many, it was the ideal preholiday shopping trip. For others, it was a treasure hunt where they could find priceless and unique collectibles. Hundreds of door prizes also were given away.
Some 140 vendors displayed merchandise of all sorts. Shoppers browsed through tables covered with jewelry, dolls, tools, sports equipment, household items and more. Larger items included a roll-top desk, sleds, bicycles, furniture and a variety of antiques.
Dee Frazee of LaPorte viewed a glamorous rhinestone spider pin at one of the booths.
"I'm finding some good deals and treasures," Frazee said. "I got an old 1972 green dish in the shape of Christmas candles. There are a lot of people, a huge crowd. I like this; it's a lot of fun."
Electronic robots, fine china, specialty knives and a fur coat were intermingled with a Whirlpool refrigerator, Maytag dryer, teddy bears, small carousel horses, handmade quilted purses, and Mrs. Butterworth syrup bottles. The variety of items was endless.
Vendor Cindy Hickle of Winamac brought homemade items from her company, Garden Glitz. Her creations included snowmen made from wine glasses, outdoor décor made from glass plates, dishes, teacups and other items.
"It's all recycled glassware," Hickle said. "I've been making them for about three years. I travel all over looking for glassware at garage sales and Goodwill stores.
"This sale is great; it's really big. A lot of people came through. I made some purchases from other vendors. It's very organized."
Whispering Pines resident bakers, nicknamed "The Cookie Cutters," sold homemade bread, cookies, Rice Krispie treats, muffins and more.
Marissa Wilson, marketing director, coordinated the event.
"This is the first year we've ever done it," she said. "We're really happy. As long as we see the vendors are happy, then we know it's a success."

Alright. I give it about a month before a copy ends up in my local brick and mortar FLGS.
It's a great supplement. Sunday I'm going to run a one shot with only ork PCs.
klaatux, my gaming store in Houston, TX has the book in stock now. The October 12 date seems to be just if you're ordering from something like Amazon. Honestly it makes sense for FFG to give the local stores a leg up on that giant.
MMMGames - It is alredy here in Poland, my internet gaming store has send me my copy. According to UPC Parcel Service it should be in my hands tomorrow :)
Still not in Europe - distributors have advised that it is still in transit...
I picked up a copy of this at GenCon. It is a fun book with loads of information in it!
Why is it America has to wait another month before we can get this -.-; October 12th is the store date
I'd give one month until the PDF.
How long til the PDF?
I live in Denmark and I talked to my FLGS and he said he should have it by thursday .
So how long will it take before this supplement hit Europe (the Netherlands)?

However, I want to dine at Kona Cafe on my next trip. I cannot live without a serving of the bread pudding. My trip would be so complete if I could get it at Kona Cafe.

I would be EXTREMELY interested to hear if this is true...some friends and I are heading to WDW in about two weeks, and have not been able to get reservations for Ohana. If we could nab the bread pudding at Kona (which we have gotten reservations for) it would make my day!!

The entire network is using the same DHCP server; when the system boots from the network (which is only allowed with the appropriate credentials af course) a small Linux image is downloaded and started. That image fires up the machine, connects to a PartImage server and places an image on the file system. The image itself is not tied to a particular host as all configuration specific to the system is obtained from LDAP or otherwise.

Gurpreet Singh: A beautiful side of 9/11
As the world remembers the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack on its 10th anniversary, very few people are familiar with the beautiful side of the now-considered ominous date of September 11. Though terrorists shook the U.S. in 2001 by bringing down the World Trade Center and killing nearly 3,000 people, an Indian ascetic named Swami Vivekananda stunned the U.S. on the same day 108 years earlier with a message of love and peace.
One of the most revered Hindu spiritual leaders, Vivekananda emphasized peaceful coexistence between different religions of the world in Chicago on September 11, 1893. While addressing the Parliament of Religions, he said, "I am proud to belong to a religion, which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration but we accept all religions as true."
On the final day of the event he stated, "If anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion and the destruction of others, I pity him from the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written, in spite of resistance: 'help and not fight', 'assimilation and not destruction', 'harmony and peace and not dissension'."
Vivekananda inspired the youth of India by cautioning them against superstition and preaching social equality by helping the poor. He equally enthralled his American audience, and there was a big applause from those who attended the event.
It's an irony of the situation that the terrorists picked September 11, 2001 to strike the same country that was visited by a messiah of peace in 1893.
Had Vivekandanda's teachings been followed by world leaders, including those running the U.S., there wouldn't have been such an attack. After all, the U.S. establishment had been helping pan-Islamic extremists against Russia during the cold-war era. Islamic terrorists were receiving great assistance from the U.S. spy agency, the CIA, and from Pakistan's ISI in their war against "Communist expansionism'". The Frankenstein monster created by the U.S. ultimately turned against it and killed its citizens.
Though Vivekananda was a staunch Hindu, he was not a fanatic. His brand of Hinduism was far more liberal and open.
Any experiment with religious fanatics for short-term gains can prove to be counterproductive. The 9/11 attack has created a yawning gap between Islam and other religions.
Even the ruling classes of Vivekananda's home country have failed to show respect to his ideology. The political establishment of India has experimented by working jointly with religious fanaticism for short-term gains by dividing people on religious lines. As a result, there was a bloody partition between India and Pakistan in 1947.
Hindus and Muslims killed each other. And despite this bloodshed, Indian politicians continued to play with religious emotions of the people after independence.
The rise of Hindu and Sikh extremists, the anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984, and the anti-Muslim massacre of 2002 by state-sponsored goons reflect a tendency among Indian politicians to promote religious hatred.
The emergence of Sikh extremism came at the behest of Indian politicians; the subsequent anti-Sikh violence culminated in the 1985 bombing of Air India flight 182, which was the worst incident in the history of aviation terrorism before 9/11. (A bomb was placed on a second Air India flight, which exploded at a Tokyo airport, killing two baggage handlers.)
Let there be a moment of self-reflection for everyone on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The dangerous cocktail of religion and politics should stop.
This is the least one can do to fulfill the dreams of Swami Vivekananda and prevent another catastrophe in the name of religion.

It may be honey dew from bugs... likely aphids. check it very carefully for little critters - bottoms of leaves, any crotches of crooks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeydew_(secretion) |
Indiebookman, Thanks for the tip. I have noticed some little critters, don't know the real name for them but when we were kid we called them potato bugs, little scaled things that make your think of an armadillo. Not sure if that is the source. I have been picking them out. The seem to come out of the soil when I water. I am also noticing little spots of a chaulky substance on the leaves in places. |

Bladder Augmentation—Open Surgery
Bladder augmentation is surgery to increase bladder size.
The Urinary Tract
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Bladder augmentation surgery makes the bladder large enough to collect urine. When the bladder is too small, urine can leak out of the body (incontinence) or back up into the kidneys (reflux). This can cause a kidney infection and could damage the kidneys. The procedure is used to treat serious forms of incontinence after other treatments have failed.
Birth defects and other conditions, like chronic obstructive bladder damage, can cause the bladder to be too small.
Surgery may also be done if you have:
- An overactive bladder—bladder muscle contracts when it does not need to, leading to urine leakage
- A neurogenic bladder—problems with nerve signals leading to the brain and muscles, leading to urine leakage or retention

Favorite dish to EAT is pizza!! Can't seem to make any as good as what can be purchased at pizzerias. So, I don't try anymore! Favorite dish to cook -- hmm. Too many to name. Pretty high up on the list would be my broiled crabfingers and pecan and teriyaki glazed fish. My crab cakes are really good, too. Italian Cream Cheese cake is very hard to beat. This is making me want to get into my kitchen!!

Race: AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway Track Specs: 1-mile concrete oval Weather: Sunny, 75 degrees Race Winner: Jimmie Johnson Dale Jr.'s Finish: 2nd Dale Jr.'s Chase Standing: 10th (-57)
Dale Earnhardt Jr. raced to a second-place finish in Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. The runner-up finish moves Earnhardt gained one position and five points on overall leader Matt Kenseth with seven races remaining this season.
Earnhardt jumped to an early lead after starting from the pole thanks to a track-record speed in Friday's qualifying session. The No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet held the top spot for a season-high 80 laps on the day and looked to be in control of the race early on. During a round of green-flag pit stops, Earnhardt relinquished his lead after overshooting Dover's tricky pit entrance. The miscue dropped the No. 88 to eighth and forced Earnhardt to claw his way back towards the lead.
Earnhardt found himself fourth when teams hit pit road for the final time under a lap-371 caution. With many leaders debating whether to take two or four tires, a split-second decision courtesy of crew chief Steve Letarte and spotter T.J. Majors allowed the team to take four fresh tires and maintain their fourth position behind leaders Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon who all opted for two fresh tires.
The fresh rubber allowed Earnhardt to leapfrog Kenseth and Gordon on the first lap after the restart. Earnhardt began to stalk Johnson for the race lead but the No. 48 proved to be too tough to beat as Johnson worked to find the fastest groove to hold off the No. 88 in the final laps. Earnhardt was forced to settle for second for the third time this season while Johnson cruised to his record-setting eighth career win at the Monster Mile.
DALE JR. QUOTES "We had an awesome car. Two weeks in a row we've had two fantastic racecars. We're proud of Steve and Kevin (Meendering), my engineer, all the guys for bringing such good cars to the racetrack. It certainly makes my job easier, gives us opportunities to win like this.
"Trying to look on the bright side. A little disappointed we didn't pull off the win. Felt like we had the perfect strategy. I had maybe the best car, arguably the best car, today. With those four tires I thought we could get it done.
"We left everybody in the mirror. We were clicking off some laps, but just not fast enough to get to Jimmie."

Spiritual Guidance: Diving in to the dark side {WoW}
Jun 15th 2008 3:13PM Some comments:
A raid boss gives you a 17% chance (approximately) to miss. A 5-player content boss does not, at only 6%. So spell hit is useful either way, but outside of a raid you need at most 3 points in shadow focus, with no additional hit gear.
12.6 points of hit are worth 1% chance to hit, however each talent point in Shadow focus is worth 2% chance to hit with shadow spells, and so is worth around 25 hit rating, not 15.
For more about spell hit, see http://www.wowwiki.com/Spell_hit
I think one major challenge of shadow as a new dps player is knowing when and when not to dot. Start out being very conservative with your shadow word pains. Put them only on the kill target. As you gain comfort with the group, try placing them on the next kill target a little early, maybe 2-5 seconds (though NOT on anything CCed). With a paladin tank you may be able to go nuts and really bump up your numbers, but it's still important to kill the first target quickly.
Use your shadow word death, even when you take backlash damage! Just wait until your healer gives you some love before you sign up for more backlash. It's a significant portion of your kill power, and lots of fun to boot. Healers who complain about this are foolish, it makes their job more interesting!

WoW Insider Show: Special multiboxing edition this weekend with guest Xzin {WoW}
Apr 5th 2008 1:11PM In normal english:
First party means the original creator, or the subject. "I".
Second party means the object, or the target of the message. "You".
Third party means another group who is neither of the above. "He, she, they".
Thus third party creations generally referred to things which were made not by the original manufacturer of the item, nor by the purchaser of the product, but an unassociated THIRD party.
Only videogame development has attempted to redefine these terms in a somwhat nonsensical way.

Breakfast Topic: The price of flight {WoW}
Mar 21st 2008 5:28PM I agree with your perspective that the net effect of gold buyers on the economy is probably not that large. It's still an inflationary effect, presuming gold farmers bot-farm the gold. Of course blizzard claims the gold is mostly acquired by taking it from other players.
Either way, it seems like buying wow gold harms other people. If inflationary it harms the whole faction's economy (and thus other players) in a way that is very minor per person, or it harms a few people who have had their gold raided by gold sellers in a very direct and significant fashion.
Not trying to judge your actions, just saying it's tricky ground to tread.
Breakfast Topic: The price of flight {WoW}
Mar 21st 2008 5:15PM Well, Hank, You're on track (like I was) to be able to buy your flying mount the instant you turn 70. You're not on track to buy your epic mount that quickly though. Finishing the outlands quests will probably take you to around 2000-2500g, and you'll have to earn the rest through gathering, auctioning, farming, dailies and whatnot. All I'm saying is it's not quite as easy as you suggest, but certainly all your suggestions are good ideas and will contribute to the goal of money-for-things.

Cultural Arts Playhouse has been fostering the development of up-and-coming actors for more than 15 years. At its Musical Theatre and Acting Academy, students from 1st–12th grade hone their on-stage skills by taking classes on singing, acting, and improvisation under the tutelage of an experienced teacher. Kids get to show off these skills in full theatrical productions, with main-stage shows opening up auditions to the entire community so people can see their neighbors' acting chops and dusted-off fake skulls. Cultural Arts Playhouse alumni have found success in New York and throughout the country, appearing in HBO's The Sopranos, and such Broadway productions as Les Miserables and Aladdin.
The Long Island Puppet Theater amazes audiences with a cast of colorful marionette puppets, each with a story to tell. Its shows cater to audiences aged one and up and include familiar characters including The Little Mermaid. Special events encourage kids to play with Barbies or dance alongside Cinderella and Batman, whereas traveling shows bring interactive fun to the tristate area with pirates and jungle animals. In addition to performances, the theater also offers private themed parties for special occasions, such as a birthday or day you transform from a wooden puppet into a real boy or girl.
More than half a century ago, three partners raised a vibrant, multicolored tent on an underdeveloped industrial site and established the Westbury Music Fair. It followed its first production, The King and I, with a decade of top-name talent and Broadway musicals. Then, recognizing its place on the theater scene was permanent, it planted its roots as a fully enclosed theater-in-the-round. Expanding its repertoire to match its new digs, the theater showcased performers such as The Who, Bruce Springsteen, and Julie Andrews. Today, past a lounge blazing in purple and red lights, guests find that same circular stage hosting equally great musical acts and musical theater.
As a native of the Dominican Republic, Claudette Munné loves merengue beats—but as classical pianists, she and her husband Massimiliano Facchini also cherish traditional piano pieces by European composers. To celebrate these dual passions, the pair arranged a series of fresh, merengue takes on old classics, a project that resulted in a sold-out two-piano show at Carnegie Hall and an interview with NBC.
Revamping traditional piano music isn't the couple's only collaboration, however. They also worked together to found Belle Arti Center for the Arts, a music school that caters mainly to children. Their toddler classes focus on training young ears and building a sense of rhythm that moves beyond freestyle clapping. During private lessons, they train students on instruments from the guitar and violin to woodwinds. Their classes follow a semester schedule, with each semester session culminating in a recital for family and friends.
In the evening, Grand Restaurant/Lounge caters to the foodie set, serving upscale bar food amid elegant minimalist decor. Later at night, an array of colored lights begins to glow beneath stairs, along windows, and in the eyes of visiting Terminators. DJs crank up the volume while bartenders sling cocktails below supernova-like chandeliers, but intimate clusters of armchairs provide a respite from the carnival on the dance floor. As they lounge, diners can savor dishes such as lobster ravioli or burgers topped with deviled eggs or fig-balsamic glaze.

text: With all the lights turned off in the classroom, Dr. Bill Trimyer starts playing music from Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and then makes a full-costume thriller of an entrance from behind a curtain, dancing the Jackson choreography. The students go crazy, but it's all just part of a class on death and dying that Trimyer co-teaches with Dr. Steven Wray — a class filled with surprises and packed with useful knowledge. Both professors wear lab coats when they do a lecture on autopsies, just one more little touch that makes this the largest (as in most popular) class on campus. Trimyer also takes students on international trips — including Israel, Egypt, Greece and Turkey — and to a nearby 700-acre yoga center, where they see what it's like to eat and breathe meditation in a temple. (But not really eat, not there. "On those trips, I take them to Wendy's.") He praises Averett students, including the athletes. "I always say, if you're not quite good enough to play at Duke, Averett is your second choice." In addition to teaching at Averett, Trimyer has worked as a trauma center counselor, has served as a church pastor, has been in charge of the university's personal counseling … and is something of an amateur archaeologist. But being professor of religion at Averett, he says, "is the best job I've ever had." He explains, "It's a small university, so faculty tend to stay here [unlike faculty members at large universities who are more prone to accepting jobs elsewhere], and I really enjoy the people I work with. Our students come here because in a small setting, they can find themselves, discover who they really are. Our faculty help them do that, help them feel at home so that discovery can begin." | Credentials: Master of Arts, counseling psychology, Goddard College Experience: 20+ years teaching at Averett; five years as a hospital chaplain; 20 years as a pastor; 22 as a pastoral counselor Grief and Bereavement, Childhood Sexual Trauma, The Moral of the Story- Ethical Lessons from Literature and Movies, Ecopsychology, Stress Management, Anger Conflict Management, Spirituality in Business and Commerce, Developing Spiritual Disciplines Editor of "The Servant," newsletter for Ministry to Ministers Foundation more than 40 articles, weekly Bible commentary for 10 years for a newspaper and one book published |

Free shipping on orders of $35 or more! Excludes hymnal products.
When people suggest in their letters . . . that I'm 'suffering' here, I reject the thought. It seems to me a profanation. These things mustn't be dramatized. I doubt very much whether I'm 'suffering' any more than you, or most people, are suffering today. Of course, a great deal here is horrible, but where isn't it? . . . No, suffering must be something quite different, and have a quite different dimension, from what I've so far experienced."—from Letter to Eberhard Bethge from Tegel prison, 9 March
These forty-seven stirring devotions will guide and inspire readers as they move thematically through the weeks of Lent and Easter, encountering themes of prayerful reflection, self-denial, temptation, suffering, and the meaning of the cross. Passages from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's letters and sermons provide special encouragement as readers prepare themselves spiritually for Holy Week and Easter Sunday. Supplemented by an informative introduction to Bonhoeffer's life and a Scripture passage for each day of the season, these daily devotions are moving reminders of the true gift of Christ on the cross.
Also available: God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-45) was a Christian minister, seminary professor, and theologian who became one of the leading voices of opposition against Nazism during World War II. He was a founding member of Germany's Confessing Church and was executed for participating in a plot to assassinate Hitler. His theological views have become highly influential in the years since his death.
