There may not be a "deal." Smart people have speculated that we may not need a "deal" and, in any case, a "deal" is not necessarily the be-all and end-all of "governing." I have said more than once that it is not the president's job to tame John Boehner's crazy-ass caucus for him. The president was re-elected on a slate of policies that the country wanted. He has no affirmative obligation to water these down just to "get a deal done" for the sake of appearances, just as he is under no affirmative action to offer up Medicare and Social Security as blood sacrifices just so that John Boehner and his crazy caucus will be placated. The country must be governed, It does not necessarily have to be governed efficiently, as long as the manifest will of the people is somehow expressed through it. Perhaps the people would like it to run more smoothly, but they want most for it to run in such a way that it responds to their expressed wishes. For example, there is not clamoring in the country — or any real need — for the kind of austerity agenda to which all the fiscal cliffies seem to be trying to accustom us. If inefficiency is all that saves us from a damaging set of policies, then god bless inefficiency. -Charles Pierce on the Fiscal Cliff
I don't think we should downplay the possible negative effects going over the "Fiscal Cliff" may have on the economy, but I do agree that, politically, Republicans have a lot to lose and Democrats have a lot to gain by sticking to their positions.
So far the White House has shown no signs of backing down from their position, and they have no reason to. They hold all the cards.

Moisture Cream for Men contains some emollient ingredients side by side with irritants such as alcohol and witch hazel, making for one confused product. Moreover, the oils and waxes in here are not appropriate for men battling blemishes or oily skin. As an after-shave product meant to reduce irritation, it doesn't make sense to add these irritating fragrance components!
Softens and nourishes, helping to reduce after-shave irritation. Organic Jojoba Seed Oil and Marshmallow Root Extract lightly protect the skin from dryness. Keeps the skin moisturized, clean and freshly fragranced with pure essential oils. Ideal for everyday use.

Switzerland-based Weleda (pronounced "wah-lee-duh"), whose founding principle is to strive to be "in harmony with nature and the human being," created a range of skin-care products capitalizing on plant extracts long before such a concept was mainstream or even trendy. It isn't a stretch by any means to say that Weleda's beginning in 1921 paved the way for modern-day plant-centric lines like Aveda, The Body Shop, and Jason Natural. The concepts of using organic ingredients and working with farmers to support sustainable crops seem commonplace now, but decades ago this was trailblazing stuff. On the other hand, while those aspects of the company are admirable, it is readily apparent that what Weleda believes is necessary for us to be in harmony with nature remains rooted in ancient and anecdotal information without a shred of current skin-care research or scientific research to back it up. (Think of Weleda as using a pen and quill instead of a computer; that's pretty much the state of their products).
That's the only rational way to explain why so many of the claims they make for their products have no basis in modern-day science, and why they chose to completely overlook the issue of sun protection. It seems that by Weleda's standards, people uniting with nature involves exposing their skin to the sun without protection, which is a daily invitation to wrinkles, skin discolorations, and other mutagenic changes. Rather than focusing on what cumulative research has shown to be true for skin and skin-care ingredients (and keep in mind that much of this research involved using natural ingredients to the skin's benefit), Weleda has decided to enlist only a small roster of natural ingredients throughout the line; in most cases one or more of those ingredients is a skin irritant, and most lack the potential to behave on skin in the manner Weleda describes. Some of their natural ingredients do have antioxidant potential, but this is all too often blocked by the effects of the plant and fragrance components that have a detrimental effect on skin. In that same vein, alcohol (the drying, irritating, cell-damaging, and free radical–generating kind) makes frequent appearances throughout the line, as does witch hazel, a plant whose natural alcohol and tannin content doesn't make it a must-have ingredient.
Along with no sunscreens, Weleda's lineup is also void of any type of exfoliant or any product capable of addressing the needs of acne-prone or discolored skin. Instead, you're asked to believe that all it takes to regenerate skin cells and create a complexion glowing with health is a series of plant oils, plant extracts, and waxes. As you can imagine, this is a completely inappropriate product line for anyone with oily skin.
The medical doctor and philosopher who developed the Weleda line were likely doing what they thought was necessary and helpful at the time. But what we know now about how skin ages and how to keep it healthy with skin-care products is far removed from what passed for state-of-the-art information in the 1920s. Though this line captures the attention of and appeals to consumers seeking natural products, your skin will be shortchanged when you consider the mundane nature of their formulas. There are many other product lines available that include natural ingredients of proven worth for maintaining healthy skin and improving its appearance. Agreeing to a Weleda routine is tantamount to believing that skin care peaked with the advent of Ivory Soap and Vaseline. Still, for those so inclined, Weleda is widely available in the United States at Walgreens stores.

A teen icon as the president's daughter, falling in love with a boy with a secret, and having adventures away from her Secret Service retinue. Didn't this movie open already? Kinda. Fox moved ''Daughter'' from its early-'04 date to get away from the wildly similar Mandy Moore vehicle, ''Chasing Liberty.'' Though according to director Forest Whitaker, ''Daughter'' is totally different. ''I'm telling a Siddhartha story,'' he says, referring to the myth of the Buddha prince seeking enlightenment. But Whitaker quickly adds that his literary inspiration is barely noticeable (and he encourages us to think more ''Sabrina''). Katie Holmes played hard-to-get, and only agreed to be cast after Whitaker was hired and retooled the script. ''I was finishing 'Dawson's Creek' and I was terrified at the thought of doing anything else,'' she says. ''I wanted to make sure the movie [had] a strong script.'' Producer John Davis is more pointed (and slightly ironic): ''She wanted to make sure it wasn't a kiddie pic, another Mandy Moore/Hilary Duff movie.''
What's at stake Well, ''Chasing Liberty'' wasn't exactly a hit.

When Olympia Snowe, the Republican senior senator from Maine, announced her plans to retire from Congress last month, the consensus among politicos was that her move would behoove the opposing party- the Democrats.
But the filing deadline to qualify for the ballot in the state's June 12 primary was today at 5 p.m., and the outlook for the Democrats is not so clear.
Maine has been friendly territory for Democrats in recent years. The state has gone Democratic in the past three presidential elections, and both of Maine's House reps are Democrats. The party has a deep bench of strong candidates: Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud, and former Gov. John Baldacci were viewed as strong possibilities to claim Snow's sought-after seat. All three, however, have decided against running.
Three Democrats are currently set to run: Matt Dunlap, a former secretary of state for Maine, State Senator Cynthia Dill, and State Rep. John Hinck.
On the Republican side the field is twice the size. Six candidates have thrown their hats into the ring; current Secretary of State Charlie Summers, Attorney General William Schneider, State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin, State Sen. Debra Plowman, former Maine Senate President Rick Bennett and Scott D'Ambroise, a Tea Party candidate who entered the race before Snowe announced her retirement.
The big candidate, though, the one who has so far gained the most attention, doesn't represent either party. The candidate is Angus King, the former independent governor who served the state from 1995-2003. King's background in the public and private sectors appeals to both Republicans and Democrats.
"He's a very successful businessman who has done a great deal of work in investing in green energy, and I think that kind of typifies how he's able to appeal to both Republicans and Democrats," said John Baughman, an associate professor of politics at Bates College in Lewiston.
Early polling suggests King is the clear front-runner in the race, and Baughman explained that King's decision to run was likely the motivating factor for the more well-known Democrats otherwise puzzling lack of presence.
"Democrats have in the back of their minds what happened in 2010," said Baughman, referring to Maine's gubernatorial race that year.
"In 2010, Democratic voters ended up splitting votes between the party nominee, Libby Mitchell, and independent Elliot Cutler, allowing a conservative candidate to win with about 39 percent of the vote. And it was pretty clear that if either Mitchell or Cutler had dropped out of the race that LePage, the Republican (and current Maine governor) would have lost. The Democrats lost a winnable governor's seat in a fairly blue state, and they did not want that to happen again."
King, who has suggested he won't caucus with either party if elected, has supported both Republicans and Democrats in the past. In 2000, he endorsed George W. Bush for president. Recently, King told the Associated Press that he supported Obama's bid for re-election, saying, "This year, seeing the likely alternatives, I think the president should be re-elected."
But it's nearly impossible for senators to remain completely independent once in Congress. If they want to receive good committee assignments, they must at least indicate some preference for one side or the other, and in this regard, King does look like a better bet for Democrats than Republicans.
"In comparison with the way Olympia Snowe had been voting over the last couple of years, he's certainly going to be a more liberal vote than that, but I think he's even going to be voting with the Democrats more often than the earlier, more moderate Olympia Snowe too," Baughman said. "I think he's going to end up caucusing with the Democrats on most issues."
Republicans are trying to highlight this belief that King would likely end up being more Democrat than anything else.
"Several strong Republican candidates have stepped forward in Maine, and we look forward to a healthy and spirited primary," Brian Walsh, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, wrote to ABC News. "This stands in contrast to the other side, where national Democrats appear to have anointed 'independent' Angus King in a smoke-filled backroom in Washington. So we look forward to the contrast that the campaign ahead will bring."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic counterpart to the NRSC, has dismissed this accusation, saying they're planning to stay neutral in the primary.
"The DSCC will remain neutral in the Democratic primary" DSCC spokesman Matt Canter told ABC News. "Now that the filing period has ended, we will be speaking with each of the Democratic candidates along with other Democrats in Maine and make an ongoing assessment about the race."


text: So another Halloween under our belts. This year was a particularly fun one in my Blythe world as well as my non-plastic family world. The Annual Halloween bash could've been a bust due to three irksome factors: torrential downpours, a pesky street fair and oh, did I mention the anti-war protest? Lucky me, my studio happens to be the hub for protesters of all kinds. Add it all up and honestly, if it wasn't my own party I probably would have stayed inside and watched a Lifetime television marathon. BUT it was my party and HOORAY for those of you who braved the elements! It was the most fun one yet. Here's a teeny peek at what went on:

By DAVID DAVIS
Managing Editor
The Tennessee Claims Commission recently placed some of the fault on the state in the death of Shipley Buckner in 2010. The tribunal filed its decision May 20 in Nashville, three years after the 18-year-old's death May 9, 2010, in Chattanooga.
The claims commission decides on cases of alleged negligence by state officials or agencies. All claims awarded for damages are limited to $300,000 per claimant and $1 million per occurrence.
The three commissioners assigned 37.5 percent of the comparative fault to the state, the driver of the vehicle was found at 47.5 percent comparative fault and 15 percent of comparative fault was assessed to Buckner.
Damages were placed at $3.70 million. The commission attributed 37.5 percent, or $1.39 million to the state. That amount was reduced by 15 percent, or $208,523 for the comparative negligence of the claimant. Since the reduced amount of $1.18 million exceeds the statutory maximum, judgment was awarded against the state $300,000.
Buckner family attorney James F. Logan said the "Judgment and Order for Award" was a remarkable 82-pages long.
The claim was originally filed May 6, 2011, with the Division of Claims Administration demanding $1.5 million in damages against the state. The claim was transferred Aug. 4, 2011, to the commission. The case was tried Jan. 24 in a courtroom for the Circuit Court of Bradley County.
Logan said the family's claim centered on the contention that the guardrail at the accident site was too short in length and terminated near a dangerous object — the tree the vehicle struck after leaving Highway 131 in Chattanooga.
According to the judgment, the "Roadside Design Guide," a manual apparently used by most engineers involved in road building, required that the guardrail be extended an additional 150 to 200 feet from where it stopped at the time of the accident. The addition of guardrail was scheduled before the accident.
"Based on these considerations, we find the State knew that the site of this accident was dangerous. Since prior to May 9, 2010, plans had already been made to extend the guardrail 150 feet," the commission state in the document.
An extended guardrail would have taken the vehicle past the tree struck by the vehicle when it left the road.
"Therefore, we conclude that the state's fault consists of the fact that it put in place a guardrail which was too short in length and terminated in close proximity to a large tree. These failures were further complicated by the fact the guardrail was adjacent to a fairly acute curve which many drivers could be expected to enter at an excessive speed," the commission stated.
"Because of its negligence, we attribute 37.5 percent of the comparative fault in causing this accident to the state."
Buckner, 18, died as the result of a single-vehicle crash in the 9600 block of Hixson Pike, around 12:55 a.m., after the vehicle in which she was a passenger, left the roadway and struck a tree. She was killed instantly. Buckner was a senior at Baylor School in Chattanooga, and was set to graduate June 4, only a few weeks after the accident.
Buckner was a cheerleader for the basketball and football teams, a member of the Baylor choir and the Baylor dance team. She was also a member of the Baylor theater and served a year as manager of the basketball team.
Buckner and the driver of the vehicle, who was not charged as a result of the accident, were best friends and planned to room together at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville that fall.

Hmmm, must set up the TiVO tonight - thanks Melissa!
Well....since I will not be seeing it on Broadway (and I have to keep my fingers crossed that it will tour and come to Detroit) I will be watching it on the Today Show this morning!
If it comes to Detroit I expect you to snag me some seats! Oh, and Parker will have to move in with Tanner for the night. I like my eggs over easy and my bacon crisp.
I wish Ann liked Mary Poppins. Then we could go to London and see it in the West End.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Dover, Spaulding prep for difficult D-II encounters
Saturday, March 8, 2014
DOVER — The road to the Division II boys hockey semifinals goes through some pretty rocky quarterfinal terrain for the Dover and Spaulding high school teams.
The Green Wave have won nine of their last 10 games.
Goalie is suddenly a question mark for the Red Raiders after 10 goals got through in a pair of late-season losses to Bedford (5-4 OT) and Dover (5-1). Freshman Brayden McGary got Spaulding back on track with 13 saves in last Saturday's 7-1 win over Oyster River to finish the regular season.
"They want to play a physical game and so do we," Riker said. "You'll see penalties on both sides. Five on four we're pretty good. We know roles."
Other top scorers are Shane Foye (14-9-23) and Ryan Downie (10-11-21). They have two goalies with 5-4 regular-season records — Matt Brewster and Devin Gillis. |

Enhancing WordPress Custom Fields with Search Filtering
Custom fields are an excellent feature in WordPress. They allow you to store any extra information (meta-data) about a post that you may want.
When I first started using WordPress as a content management system, I shied away from them, as I thought they would be difficult to use for end-users (i.e. the client), but as I learned more about customizing the administration panels of WordPress, I began to realize what a powerful addition to a WordPress site they could be.

The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic
When I was in school, I fell in love with the same girl twice. Her name was Frances, and she looked something like Hillary Duff, only with short hair, less eye makeup, and more class. I'm not sure she ever knew I existed. I developed a massive crush on her in eighth grade, followed her around the halls between classes ("She takes English! She must really be smart!"), and never, ever told my friends about her. That would have spoiled it.

Four Constants in the Ever-changing Web Design Industry
The web is like a living, breathing organism. It's constantly changing and evolving. You might say this animal has a serious caffeine addiction, considering the lightning-fast pace at which things move.

Just when we started getting a grip on multi-browser compatibility, a whole slew of new platforms have emerged with the widespread adoption of mobile web devices.

I am in Saskatchewan and just purchased this plant. It's a Pseudolithos migiurtinus seedling. I am hoping to find pumice for my cactus/succulent mix but so far no luck. Or if anyone else has a mixture suitable for this plant with ingredients I can find easily I would love to hear! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5a-5b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 18:28
So I can better help, what are you using the pumice to achieve? You using it to retain water or improve aeration or something else? SCG |
- Posted by danesnpits none (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 22:35
I think it's to retain water better as far as my research has told me. Mind you there isn't much on the world wide web regarding this ugly but cute lil thing! |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 23:20
To replace pumice for water retention you could use Turface or NAPA floor dry. You might want to jump onto the container gardening forum and look up Al's Gritty Mix. Interesting looking plant, that is for sure! SCG |
use cat litter |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 6, 13 at 17:39
While some cat litter products will work most will not. You will have to be very careful if you decide to try them. The composition of cat litter is very broad. |

Thanks guys! Well my little seedling arrived in the mail today from the states, and I had no choice at the moment but to plant in 5 parts perlite, 4 parts cactus soil, and 1 part sand. It's all I could find! I won't water this little dude for a couple of weeks. He does have some strong roots but will keep an eye on him. I do know about Al's gritty mix and in fact found a dealer here in Saskatoon for Turface. The grit though, grani grit, or cherry grit or whatever it's called is the hard part. Fir bark is easy to find at the petstore for reptiles, and then of course having to sift it is a chore. I eventually want to replace all my plants with Al's gritty mix but for now it's not feasable. I hope putting in a bit of sand is going to help, with the perlite. My other succulents and cactus are in a 50/50 mix of cactus soil and perlite. |
danesnpits I buy chicken grit at farm supply store. Get the #2 size (#1 is very fine, for chicks) which is great for succulents. I sift it once I get down abt. halfway, there is always some dust/very fine grit at the bottom. I also rinse it. From what I read, sand is not recommended (unless you have very course sand). Check out hydroponic stores, you may be able to get pumice. |

danesnpits I am sure you just overlooked the grit. In your part of the country there should be a million feed stores. Even here, where people generally only have chickens at a hobby level it is easy to obtain. I would also follow rina_'s suggestion and rinse it thoroughly. I also suggest buying the fir bark at a landscape supply store or I have seen it available in bags at Home Depot or the like. You are going to pay a fortune for it at pet stores. A 10L bag is about $5 here at the nursery. Size is very important to the gritty mixture. So if it doesn't fall within the acceptable range you will have to screen. If found out how much shipping was from here (by Cranbrook BC) to you I could send you a big bag for the cost of shipping. I buy it by the truck load :) SCG |
A suggestion perhaps is for you to get in touch with various cacti & succulent clubs.. Here's one for Toronto but you will find there are a few in Vancouver as well. might want to ask the experts for directions on where they would source out their supplies.. http://torontocactus.tripod.com/ |

Thanks so much ya'll! So far I have been able to purchase Axis, which is like turface they said. The granite grit I got #2 size, the fir bark, and also some gypsum. The pumice still having a hard time finding. I will keep searching. You guys are so great! I should have enough stuff now to make Al's gritty mixture. |

Well if you have turface, grit and bark you don't need pumice....Bonus!! Good luck. SCG |

When I, along with a friend and colleague, started planting a new church in Chicago about five years ago, we had lots of ideas about how to do church, but one thing was certain: we wanted to do church differently. Lots of church planters have the same mission.
We told other existing churches that we weren't in competition with them—we wanted to attract people who, for whatever reason, would never set foot in a narthex. In other words, we didn't want our church to be too. . . . churchy.
During this General Assembly, the PC(USA) made some historic moves. One of the main ones was that there was an authoritative interpretation passed so that pastors who serve in states where marriage equality is legal can preside over those ceremonies.
While many churches are at the end of their lifespans, others need to take root. And we need people fresh out of seminary to start them.
Some church planters refer to denominations as "widget factories." A big cultural commute exists between fledgling communities and church hierarchies.
Derrick Weston interviews Cameron Trimble about church renewal
Rev. Derrick Weston has an inspiring and energizing conversation with Rev. Cameron Trimble about the future of renewal in the church.
This will be the fourth year of UNCO. We've gone from a small handful of people who really wanted to meet one another after interacting on Twitter to meeting on two coasts, conconting dreams and implementing creative projects. If you are interested in working toward the future of the church with action that moves beyond hand-wringing and an institutional nostalgia, then by all means, go to UNCO. You'll find kindred souls there.
Church planting as a first call
Emily Scott had an idea: what if young adults got together for a weekly agape feast? Soon St. Lydia's was born--but Scott was not ordained.
Why are we losing congregations? There are many factors. If I'm painting with a broad brush, I'd say that it is because we are largely rural, white and older. What can we do to ensure a vital future? Focus on urban church planting.
Ministry in the 21st century
"What would happen," asks Carol Howard Merritt of Western Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., "if we coupled baby boomers' prophetic focus with the pragmatism of my generation? What if the church unleashed us to plant churches?"
What kinds of communities are working well?
I'm in a lot of conversations about why the denominational church isn't working. But what about the communities that are ministering well? What about new communities?

Last week in my "Not Just Linux" blog, I pointed to a Linux Foundation podcast in which Novell CEO Ron Hovsepian sharply criticized Sun Microsystems' open source strategy and questioned the viability of the Solaris operating system. Not surprisingly, Sun took issue with his statements, as is evidenced by Patrick Finch's blog post on the subject.
To get Sun's side, I talked to the company's chief open source officer, Simon Phipps, on Wednesday. He certainly didn't pull any punches. In response to Hovsepian's suggestion that Sun's open source strategy -- balancing open source and commercial interests -- isn't right, Phipps says:
Novell's got a big problem. What they're doing is trying to sell open source software as if it was proprietary software. The comment that Mr. Hovsepian made seems to be projecting Novell's malaise onto Sun, but we don't have that malaise. We ship a completely free piece of software that anyone can download and use without any restrictions.
And as for the OpenSolaris community contract, Hovsepian suggested that developers who even look at the source code are somehow tainted so that they cannot go back and look at Linux. Phipps, of course, does not agree:
That's complete and utter rubbish. I don't know where he's getting it from, but it's so untrue as to almost be actionable... [T]his isn't the first time Mr. Hovsepian has made an ill-informed and misleading attack on OpenSolaris. Maybe it's that he hasn't got anyone else to attack because Novell is such an unpopular company in the open source movement.

text: By Courtney Llewellyn Reminder Assistant Editor GREATER SPRINGFIELD For younger students, summer vacation is a time of freedom sleeping late, watching cartoons and playing until the sun goes down. For older students, however, the two month break is a time to get a job and make some money. Finding a summer job this year may be a difficult task for youth, however. The Regional Employment Board of Hampden County Inc. (REBHC) is coordinating with the Hampden County Youth Council and public and private sector employers in an effort to place 1,600 youth in both part- and full-time positions this summer. "Are there 1,600 positions in Hampden County? The answer is yes," Michael Chechette, Youth Program Manager at REBHC, said. "As we are all well aware the economy for the past 15 months has done very poorly, and job losses have been staggering. However, this has not effected traditional and non-traditional summer positions. The Regional Employment Board through its contracted WIA [Workforce Investment Act] and YouthWorks vendors have cultivated over 300 summer job positions. "Most of the summer positions are considered 'subsidized work experiences' in the public sector and therefore are not competing with the private sector jobs that more and more adults are taking that used to be primary sources of jobs for teens," Chechette continued. Most of the positions are funded for a seven-week period, pay minimum wage and offer no benefits. The REBHC has been offering the Summer Jobs Campaign for Youth for eight years, and now includes the cities of Springfield, Holyoke and Chicopee. According to Kathryn Kirby, Youth Employment Coordinator for REBHC, 952 youths had jobs last summer. They plan to nearly double that number this year with the help of stimulus funds and additional employer support. "The Regional Employment Board received these [federal] funds because they ... have the infrastructure in place to act swiftly in transitioning the stimulus money into the local economy," Chechette explained. "Additionally, these funds will provide high support for youth who are at-risk and will focus on academics, as well as additional summer positions." "The REB looks to private and public sector employers to provide jobs for youth," Kirby said. "However, an employer can become a worksite for either the YouthWorks state funded summer jobs program or the WIA federally funded summer jobs program. Youth are placed in a variety of jobs which include retail, office, daycare, parks and recreation, community centers, dance studio, educational institutions, YMCA, hair salon and manufacturing. Our programs match youth skills to job opportunities. The employer has the final say on hire." The REBHC is currently looking for employers interested in offering a summer job. Those who are interested can contact Kirby at 755-1359 or email@example.com. Those who do not have positions available can also donate $150 to the REBHC, which will help pay the wages of a youth for one of the weeks the youth would be working in a community betterment project. The average amount of time a youth can work in one week with a $150 stipend is 18 hours. "That's 18 hours of time spent in a safe working environment, learning new skills and earning a pay check versus spending the summer months bored and with nothing to do," Kirby said. Senquisity McGill, a 15-year-old Springfield resident, understands that. "I want to do something and make some money," she said of her desire for a summer job. The search hasn't been going well, though. "I filled out an application for Six Flags three times, and I haven't heard anything," she said. She added that she's still on the waiting list for a position with New England Farm Workers. "If I can't find anything soon, I guess I'll just have to wait until next year." If you're a teen in McGill's position, contact the REBHC to see if a summer job is available. Log on to www.rebhc.org for more information. |

It is that time of year again when spring time brings more party animals to the clubs. The ladies cut lose even more and shake off the school exam blues. There is nothing like hot sexy chicks that let loose. They live the night like it is the last one. The guys can only hope they will survive as the ladies get very frisky. Vera and her friends were horny little devils. They were on the cock like is was the fountain of youth. Jmac was living a dream. There was a point in the night when he had five chicks sucking and tugging on his cock and balls. He had a smile from ear to ear. If there was not a cock in site the girls would rub each other to get off.

I am from NY and i have lived here all my life.I like to cook but I mostly looove to bake! I would like to eat more healthier but my mom buys food that isnt so healthy only because she wants me to eat more.Anyway I love to dance. I have a ton of fun doing yoga, pilates and kickboxing too. My favorite channel is the food network channel. I watch it all the time and i love it.
I realized my passion for cooking towards the end of last year. I realy got into it after that. When I was younger I always used to bake with my mom. Now I'm a little bit older i can do that myself. Now i cant stop thinking about baking bacause it is just so fun and yummy! I do all the baking for all the family gatherings and occasions. I bake somthing new every week. I like challenges when I'm cookin, somthing too easy is boring for me. What I really want to do is open my own gormet bakery restaurant!and i want to own a preschool too because i love kids, and i want to move to a tropical island......but i dont think much of that is very likely to happen.
I came upon Recipezaar during a google search for a good french toast redipe for mothers day. I loved this site the moment I saw the recipe and overall the way the site was layed out. When I tried to look for another recipe a few days later I couldnt because I forgot the name of this site. So I did another google search and found it right away and I remebered the name ever since. Weeks later, and about 100 recipe searches later, I finally became a member.
Anything sweet!! i also like salad and fruit .
One of my favorite desserts is creme brulee, i cant get enough of that stuff!

In Response To: Re: Anyone know about Vegemite? Does it have B vitamins? (Joan)
It has a lot of B in it. Both vegemite and marmite are prepared using a base of carrots(the veg. source).
There is a trick in spreading it. You need to start with a buttered, crisp toast then you take a tiny tiny portion of vegemite.marmite and quicky spread it before the butter melts completely. Without the toast, I don't know what one can do with marmite/vegemite, except dissolve it in a cup of water and drink it like a soup like one makes a quick beef tea using bovril.

When Tang Met Laika. As Cuban-born Rogelio Martinez's play begins, Patrick, an American astronaut, is becoming acquainted with his Russian counterparts on the space station Mir, and — despite the fact that he's married and a father — starting to fall in love with Russian astronaut Elena. Their love story is the thread that holds this episodic piece together, but it lacks urgency, warmth and specificity. Having experienced the freedom and beauty of space, most astronauts find adjusting to everyday life on Earth difficult. Elena understands the psychic pull of exploration and the unknown; Patrick's wife, Samantha, whose primary solution to family problems is prayer, finds herself unable to connect with her increasingly withdrawn husband. When Tang Met Laika encompasses historical events, sets past against present, and attempts to synthesize the zeitgeist of the Cold War with contemporary reality. But although Martinez has a lot of interesting thoughts about a complex period, such thoughts only work on a stage if you dramatize them, and characters only matter to your viewer if they feel real — which these characters do not. Besides, it takes a poet to evoke the ineffable, and there's no poetry in the language here. Any beauty is provided by the tech: the ingenious set design and muted, evocative lighting. Presented by the Denver Center Theatre Company through February 27, Space Theatre, Denver Performing Arts Complex, 303-893-4100, www.denvercenter.org. Reviewed February 11.
The World Is Mine. In The World Is Mine, Buntport gives us Eugene O'Neill in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy and thinking about beginning work on Long Day's Journey Into Night, the play that dramatized the life of the author's booze-drug-and-self-pity-soaked family, and which he famously said was written in tears and blood. The Buntport members treat this somber material with their usual fizz and humor, without in any way trivializing it. O'Neill's self-absorption is tackled head on: The entire set represents the inside of his mind as he ponders the set for his play, and the three other characters — all mustachioed like O'Neill himself — exist only as he sees them. The action takes place in a living room; a profile of Erik Edborg, who plays O'Neill, is mounted on the back wall, facing left. Opposite this, the same portrait has been flopped so it's facing right. We half notice that there are glasses everywhere, and once the action begins, we find that the place bleeds alcohol as characters pour drinks from almost every available object, from a chandelier to a telephone. O'Neill is being taken care of by a nurse, Cathleen, who reminds him of daughter Oona and whom he will transform into the Tyrones' dim, flirtatious Irish maid in Long Day's Journey Into Night — hence the absurdly high heels she wears along with her mustache. His wife, Carlotta, is on the scene, too, parading around in a succession of elegant dresses and surprising hats. The final character is Erland, come from Sweden to give O'Neill his 1936 Nobel Prize for Literature. The World Is Mine raises the central question about Eugene O'Neill's artistry: the fact that his focus is so relentlessly, claustrophobically inward. And in their humorous and unpretentious way, the Buntporters suggest that when feelings run deep enough and genius is sufficiently capacious, personal obsession becomes universal and transforms into art.

Our furry four-legged friends get pretty excited about Queensland's beaches. From Cairns to the Gold Coast, you can sniff out loads of dog beaches for your pups to dog paddle through the waves, explore the sand and of course to shake after they're ready to head home.
Our resident dog whisperer has discovered a few favourite dog beach spots. The beaches at Yorkey's Knob near Cairns, Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas and Hydeaway Bay in the Whitsundays keep the hounds busy with miles of room to run amok (while you unwind and take in the view). Bucasia Beach in Mackay is another good spot for puppies and their two-legged friends to get their beach-on.
Heading further south, the best spots to take your pooch are Sunshine Beach and Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast and Nudgee Beach in Brisbane.
If you're Gold Coast bound, try Palm Beach and the Spit for your dog beach needs. Around these surfy hubs you'll also find a few dog-friendly cafes. Keep an eye out for a water filled dog bowl out the front!
It's important to check up on the dog rules for each beach and don't forget dog beach etiquette (clean up after all of the fun!).

Ghostcrawler and Vaneras on the classes that GMs play {WoW}
Dec 4th 2008 1:02AM The differences between Blizzard and CCP (the company that develops EVE) are massive. CCP is one of the most ridiculously unprofessional companies that I have ever seen, and that was a major reason I quit EVE.
CCP has a long track record of massive developer misconduct, and comparing them to Blizzard or saying that because CCP's developers are failures that Blizzard's developers will also cheat or allow such cheating to go unpunished is quite a stretch.
When the going gets tough {WoW}
May 28th 2008 3:04AM My thoughts, after having leveled a Warlock, Druid, and Hunter to 70:
It depends primarily on class/spec, game knowledge, and skill. I leveled all three to 70 mostly solo questing after switching over from alliance and only reaching the mid-40's there.
Fastest: Hunter, BM with pet Boar. Of the three, this was the only class where the leveling was truly non-stop. With correct playing (and items at higher levels -- Mark of Conquest and Power Infused Mushroom), mana is never an issue. The boar was fantastic at keeping aggro before the recent charge nerf, and dealing with adds is effortless with feign death, ice trap, and intimidation. An extra 1-2 mobs could barely be considered an inconvenience. I had a blast powering through the levels with such ease.
2nd Fastest: Feral druid. Although somewhat slow until the mid-30's when you get pounce, you then soon pick up improved leader of the pack, mangle, and finally clearcasting, transforming you into a questing powerhouse. Each additional tool you gain makes the leveling process easier and easier. By the time I was fully equipped with these skills, it was fairly common for my standard opening of pounce, mangle, shred, clearcast shred / ferocious bite to kill mobs without even taking a hit, provided a couple crits landed in there. Any of the few hits that you do take are mostly healed by Imp. LoTP. You can go for extremely long runs without having to shift out to heal. Each time I DID shift back to caster, my mana would nearly always be full. In some circumstances, it was even easier to just faerie fire pull, then chain mangle to kill. Nature's grasp or barkskin+heals allowed flexibility during unwanted adds. In any case, killing was very fast and easy. And of course stealth is a big help in completing quests.
3rd: Affliction Warlock. A proper drain tanking rotation and the use of improved drain soul to recover mana allowed fairly quick questing, again with no downtime. Adds were more problematic; using fear is dangerous (possibly bringing you more adds), and killing them simultaneously is a mana- and health-drain. This class/spec is definitely the most 'work' out of the three, requiring the most finesse and skill. It is very easy to screw up drain tanking, losing more mana or health than you will recover on the next mob. On the plus side, your healthstone provides some cheap insurance, and this setup has a ridiculous ability to solo what would otherwise be group quests through various tricks such as fear-kiting or enslaving elite demons as pets. (I also tried out demo spec for a level or so to compare. I hated it, and it was nowhere near as efficient or fast as affliction drain tanking)
Now that I've analyzed it so much, I see that the common feature of these three setups is basically an ability to solo mobs quickly and without pause to drink or eat. The main differences were the classes' potential to deal with adds and the amount of work/concentration/skill required to chain-kill.
TLDR: Of the three, BM Hunter is super easy, feral drood is pretty easy, affliction lock is harder, but still very fast.

May 21st 2008 1:58AM Brack, I remember you saying something similar about the last artist I saw being featured, Wyndforge. I agreed with you there, where I caught a lot of flak for it (and a little support).
While I still hold that opinion of his work, this is a different story. Aislinana obviously has a solid grasp on the most important part of any image, the composition. The modifications and enhancements complement (or at least do not generally detract from) this composition. I find a couple of them quite appealing, and I especially enjoy the one taken in Lordaeron.
So, Aislinana, thanks, and keep up the good work! =) Do you keep a website or gallery of some sort?

Apr 1st 2008 10:25PM Xonate, there are a couple big problems with your argument. Calling Seal of Command 'almost worthless' is pretty ridiculous. You compare command/righteousness in completely different ways.
First, you ignore how often Seal/Judgement of command crits. With fanaticism and improved seal of the crusader, it is usually easily over 30%. Seal/judge of righteousness cannot crit.
Secondly, you do not take into account judging command every eight seconds for some reason, like you do with righteousness. And you should take into account that it is often judged while the enemy is stunned/incapacitated, adding even more damage.
Blizzard's internal tools need an upgrade {WoW}
Mar 20th 2008 10:40PM There is no problem, there are enough maps, Blizzard is not pulling the wool over our eyes when they don't 'churn out new maps'.
I'm trying to figure out what motivated such a poorly informed topic. Blizzard has posted in numerous forum topics regarding their development philosophy in general, and specifically in regard to the battlegrounds. Someone above me even linked an article from this very website with information on the topic. Yet somehow you reached the conclusion that, of all things, their sub-standard internal development tools must be the cause and root of this non-existent problem.
Top 7 reasons I am looking forward to 2.4 {WoW}
Mar 18th 2008 7:26PM My favorites of 2.4, in no particular order:
-Instant honor calculations and removal of diminishing returns
-Blue PVP items via faction rep
-Combat log revamp
-Weapon Skill: Points will be gained faster in weapon skills for l levels 1 through 59. (This is the worst mechanic ever)
-Reduced Cyclone range
-Ritual of Summoning can be used to summon players into instances if they meet the instance requirements.
-Multi-shot, swipe, chain lightning, avenger's shield, etc. don't break CC.
Least Favorite:
-Shaman: Toughness will now also reduce the duration of movement slowing effects on you by 10/20/30/40/50%.
Wyndforge releases new WoW character art {WoW}
Mar 18th 2008 1:52AM Like I said, I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that it doesn't work like that. A copyright gives you the exclusive rights to control reproduction and modification of a work. While of course people copy and distribute screen shots all the time, it doesn't really matter because there's no reason to sue you if you don't cause any damages. When he is competing with a licensed, authorized copyright holder (http://www.figureprints.com), however, things change.
I wouldn't really care normally, but this strikes me as somewhat of a scam. The price is too high for a modification of another's work (Blizzard's, specifically) that he isn't really authorized to use.

Lester Don Holt, Jr.[2] (born March 8, 1959) is an American news journalist who anchors the Weekend editions of NBC's Today, (Weekend Today) and NBC Nightly News. He is also the anchor for Dateline NBC.
Early years through college[edit]
Holt graduated from Cordova High School, Rancho Cordova, California, in 1977,[3] and holds a degree in government from California State University in Sacramento.[4][5] In 2012 Holt told American Profile news magazine: "My first on-air job was actually as a disc jockey at a Country and Western station. The only time I could land a full-time gig was if I was willing to report the news." Holt would keep the job with the radio station through his college years.[6]
Holt spent 19 years with CBS beginning in 1981, when he was hired as a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York City. In 1982, he became a reporter and weekend anchor on KNXT in Los Angeles, and the next year he returned to WCBS-TV as a reporter and weekend anchor. In 1986, Holt moved to WBBM-TV in Chicago, where he spent 14 years anchoring the evening news. Holt not only worked at the anchor desk, but also reported extensively from troubled spots around the world including Iraq, Northern Ireland, Somalia, El Salvador and Haiti.[5]
Holt joined MSNBC in 2000. In August 2005, he assumed full-time duties at NBC News, where he became a substitute anchor for NBC Nightly News and Today. Holt became a full-time co-anchor of Weekend Today following the untimely death of previous co-anchor David Bloom.[7] Until late 2005, he also anchored a two-hour daily newscast on MSNBC. On May 9, 2007, Holt was named anchor of the weekend edition of NBC Nightly News, succeeding John Seigenthaler.[8] He also is a current host for NBC's Dateline.
In addition to his primary responsibilities at NBC News, he hosted a special for The History Channel about the 9/11 conspiracy theories, served as a sportsdesk reporter for NBC Sports coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics,[9] and is the host of Dateline on ID, an edition of Dateline NBC shown on the Investigation Discovery network.[10] In 2008, he narrated a documentary regarding the actual crystal skulls on the Sci-Fi Channel. From August 6, 2013 to September 2, 2013, Brian Williams was on medical leave in order to undergo knee replacement surgery. Weekend anchor Lester Holt was interim anchor in his absence
Other work[edit]
Holt has made cameo appearances in the films The Fugitive (1993); and Primal Fear (1996); as well as on television shows like the episode "Red, White, or Blue" of the series Due South, and "Fate" of Early Edition. He also appeared on the episode "Cleveland" of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock. He played himself anchoring an NBC newscast, but when he turns towards another camera, he looks straight towards a paranoid Tracy Jordan, who was watching the newscast, and told him that "The Black Crusaders" – a group of African-American performers – are going to get him (Tracy believes that this "group" exists). He also did a voice-over in the episode "Sandwich Day", announcing that Jack Donaghy would be a new cabinet member in the Bush administration. Tina Fey commented in that episode's commentary that Holt is a great guy and he is very flexible. Holt announced the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show for the USA Network. He was also featured in Making Music Magazine.
- 1990: Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for his work on CBS's 48 Hours: No Place Like Home.
- 2012: Honorary Doctorate from Pepperdine University
Personal life[edit]
Holt is of Jamaican descent on his mother's side.[11] His maternal grandfather was half English and half Indian.[12] The remainder of his ancestors are of West African and Scottish descent.[citation needed] He resides in Manhattan with his wife, Carol. They have two sons, Stefan and Cameron.[7] Stefan Holt graduated in 2009 from Pepperdine in Malibu, CA, and is now the morning news anchor at WMAQ-TV NBC5 Chicago.[13] In his spare time, Holt plays the bass guitar, which he talked about in the September/October issue of Making Music Magazine.[8][14][15]
Holt attends the Manhattan Church of Christ in New York.[16][17]

The other day, a guy I have been dating for the last month or so told me — via IM — "you're a girl with great skin, and I'm a guy with pimples." He dreamt up this metaphor as a way of explaining some emotional turmoil he had been feeling that I, apparently, had inadvertently set in motion. For so long, he had felt so "together," but since meeting me, he "didn't like the person he saw in the mirror." And, just in case I didn't get the original metaphor, "pimples = issues."
Sigh. While I don't think I'm being bulls**tted, I do think this is bulls**t. Keep reading »
