Eat for the cycle
Food February 11th, 2009
Have you ever ate for the cycle? Have you even ever heard of eating for the cycle? If you haven't done it or haven't even heard of it, I don't even know what to say to you. I mean, really? You call yourself a Brewers fan and don't even know what eating for the cycle is? Are you kidding me?
Ahem. For the uninitiated I offer a brief FAQ.

6 symptoms of a urinary tract infection
How do you know if you have a urinary tract infection (UTI)? Dr. Kristina McCain, gynecologist with Saint Thomas Health, helps identify some of the most common symptoms of a UTI.
- A strong, persistent urge to urinate.
- A burning sensation when urinating or passing frequent, small amounts of urine.
- Urine that appears cloudy.
- Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine.
- Strong-smelling urine.
- Pelvic pain, in women.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. McCain, call 615-565-6872. Need a primary care physician? Call 1-800-Doctors for a free physician referral.

text: In 1977, Norman arrived in Churchill, Manitoba, hired to translate Inuit folk-tales about Noah's ark as he found himself ''adrift in a constant haze of doubt'' about his life. There, he met Helen Tanizaki, an experienced linguist dying of cancer, who served as an intellectual and spiritual guide, assisting with his translations and easing tensions with Inuit story-teller Mark Nuqac. Remembrance weaves Nuqac's fascinating ''Noah stories'' throughout the narrative, presenting the Old Testament figure in a vastly different light: The ''hapless'' Noah's refusal to give the Inuits animals from the ark to eat always leads to dire consequences for him and his family. These tales and Norman's book offer a refreshing simplicity.

FFG announces the cancellation of Arkham Horror Investigator Miniatures |
Arkham Horror | Published 15 October 2009 |
We have listened to your concerns and considered your valuable feedback regarding our announcement of the Arkham Horror Investigator Miniatures. Having weighed the desires of our fans and considered our manufacturing options, Fantasy Flight Games has opted to hereby cancel the release of this product.
"It was very clear from the vocal feedback that we received that the majority of our players were strongly unfavorable towards the price-point and packaging that we had planned for these figures," stated Christian T. Petersen, CEO of FFG. "Unfortunately, as it's not remotely feasible for FFG to produce quality painted figures in the assortments and at the price-point range suggested from our customer feedback, we've decided to cancel this product. For obvious reasons, we have no interest in creating product that does not match our customers' expectations, nor of pushing product into the retail channel that will not be successful for our professional partners. We apologize to the customers who were excited about the announced figures, and will continue to investigate avenues in the future to make the reality of painted miniatures for Arkham Horror a reality."
As always, we at Fantasy Flight Games would like to thank our loyal fans for their continued feedback and support.
Arkham Horror is a boardgame of mystery and madness set in Arkham in the 1920's. Players investigate the strange happenings about the town, and race to prevent ancient evil from surfacing. Playable with 1-8 players.
Painted minis is a great idea. Was great... ((( Looking forward hearing the FFG chnaged their decision. Investigators tokens is not comfortable enoug to recognize them among others on the game board. Minis wold bring more atmospheric gameplay to AH. Ready to buy minis! Pleeeease (
I've worked for the better part of the past two decades in many different types of businesses (including a good stint in marketing communications) and have seen many dumb business decisions (several of which my career survived but my job and the jobs of many I knew did not). But everybody I've worked for at least understood that for every negative response you receive there are likely dozens - if not hundreds - of positive responses that are not being voiced. (The detracters are always more vocal than the supporters - I thought every mar-comm person knew that.) If negative customer feedback is indeed FFG's reason for this decision, it has to be one of the dumbest business decisions I've had the (dis)pleasure to witness in recent years. Come on, guys...
Welcome to the age of internet marketing.
I would've loved to see some minis akin to the Talisman ones that FFG makes for AH :)
For those who do not have money trees growing in their backyard or sponging off their parents can purchase metal minatures online for a fraction of the cost, but you must paint them yourself. I have been able to find some great metal sculpts and once painted they look great (compared to cardboard tokens).
I can't stop thinking about those minis! What a lost. I would have bought them in boxes linked with each expansion. Hope FFG will change their mind.
What a shame the whiners win out. Listening to your customers means knowing where to draw the line. Whiners are always a vastly over-represented market segment. Think of the scores of people who don't whine who were quietly excited and waiting to order these miniatures. What a shame.
I'm sorry to ear this... i would have buy these
What a shame - I came to the site to see if they were available to buy and sad to find they are cancelled. I didn't think to post a comment or email FF to say I would buy them - it looks like many that didn't want to buy them did.
I am also disappointed. And everyone in my playing group also groaned when we heard about this. I hope we some day seem a limited edition of the minis. Considering how much I have invested in the game itself and the all the expansions I don't see the price point being too unreasonable. And it would add so much to the game!
I too would have bought the whole set. Maybe you could have a sign up sheet for those who still want them.
I would certainly have paid $200 for the whole set. Not only that I could have found uses for them in my Call of Cthulhu Games. I am sure others would have used them in other Table Top Games

Mass Psychosis In the USA?
The DSM IV connection (542 comments)
Before you condemn American people for being unstable, you may want to step back and examine the relationship between medicare, medicaid, and substance abuse clinics in the states.
Short story is that some substance abuse clinics have started to diagnose abusers with mental disorders in proportions never seen before. Why? Possibly because state and federal funds will unquestionably reimburse for treating users - but the DSM IV diagnoses cost astronomically more than weaning drugs. This trend alone is responsible for pharmaceutical ramp-up, as drug prescriptions went up more than 100-fold in some places.
The Baltimore Sun investigated this trend and wrote up a series of articles. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2010-11-07/health/bs-md-bbh-housing-day-two-20101107_1_mental-illness-rowhouses-that-bbh-rents-interviews-with-former-patients

Season two of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" started off a little rocky for Sheree Whitfield. First, she launched a screaming match with Kim Zolciak inside a restaurant and tugged Kim's famous wig on the streets of Atlanta. Then, Sheree had a rather hostile (although entertaining) altercation with a party planner. She seemed determined to have a really angry second season, and she stole the Drama Queen title from NeNe Leakes. Keep reading »

Happy Feet Adoptions
Facts about Fishy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
My name is Fishy!
Fishy's Info...
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Little Fishy came to us at 5 weeks old. Her litter had some bad luck. They developed a very stubborn case of ringworm very soon after they arrived. This prevented us from giving them as much love and attention as we really wanted to. Plus we constantly had to give them oral medication along with topical medication. So they took a little while longer to realize that we were their friends. They were finally cured of their ringworm and then started on the road to becoming our friends.
Fishy has a pretty little black diamond on her nose. She loves to play with her brothers and sisters. She is shy around new people. But comes around once she knows she can trust you.
Fishy is about 21 months old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Executive Suites
Office Space for Lease Index
Published August 26th, 2009 by Mike Sullivan
Here is a handy list of office space for lease in the USA on aBetterOffice.com. Whether you are seeking flexible office space for your startup business or you are looking to establish a satellite office for your large enterprise, aBetterOffice has a flexible, turnkey office space for rent that may be just right for your company.
Flexible Office Space
Most of the time, when you see a serviced office company talk about flexibility, they are referring to their lease terms. But it's not just lease terms that are flexible. Yes, you can typically rent for an hour, day, week, month or years. But more importantly, you can make your company more flexible and leaner by utilizing a serviced office. We know of many companies who leverage serviced offices to provide a central place for their employees to meet with clients, to have an official mailing address or to hold staff meetings. The rest of the time, employees are working remotely. This can be done for around $200 per month or so, depending on how often your team is meeting in the office. Clearly, if employees are coming in regularly, that figure is more like $1000 per month for one "hot desk" office. Compare that with the cost of standard Class A office space. Thousands for setup costs, utilities, printers, copiers, cleaning, phone systems, maintenance etc. Then thousands per month in rent… then if you want a receptionist, that's another several thousand per month.
So try a serviced office. We think you'll like them.
By the way, serviced offices go by many names: executive suites, office suites, office business centers, business centers, virtual offices and a few others. By any name, they will save your company thousands per month.
It really is the office of the future.

POSTAL #35491C Postal Protection Leader's Dagger - Paul Weyersberg
This Postal Protection Leader's Dagger is as fine as you are likely to come across these days. In fact, Postal Protection daggers have become extremely rare, and if I remember correctly, this is probably the first example that I have been able to offer in a year or so. These are all good reasons to consider this piece if you are looking for a piece to add to your collection.
This example is an early variety, having heavy nickel plated mounts, with fine, bright, nickel plated surfaces. The pommel is in the shape of a derby cap, and it still retains good, rounded edges at the top and crisp edges on the equator like section that comes outward from the middle. The crossguard has excellent, handcut lines on both sides of the quillons with a a separate medallion device mounted in the center. This rounded device features a black enamel swastika on both sides. The enameling is still there on both sides. Above the center block is the head of an eagle, which is always an interesting design, the way it is worked into this crossguard. The bird has hand cut eye and brow behind it, and its beak which juts outward at the left, is still nice and crisp. The quillons on the bottom portion are stamped, "DRP" and the accountabilty number "1960".
The grip is a beautiful ebony wood, which is bulbous in the center, and tapers at the upward and downward area, to make for a fine handhold. This grip is in choice condition, having no chips repairs or poblems. It also shows a little grain under the surfaces, which is always attractive . Applied to the center obverse area, is a nickel postal eagle. This eagle is open winged and looks to the viewer's left. Just above the wreath, the talons are retaining lightning bolts. There are three lightning bolt arrows on each side, just below the well detailed wings of the bird. Below the lightning bolts, is a wreath of oak leaves with a mobile swastika in the center. A very fine hilt here; in top, top condition.
The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell could not be any nicer, having outstanding, original black paint. This paint shows only a couple of slightest signs of being around, but the paint is virtually 99%. This original paint also still has its factory luster. It is rare to see a dagger with a chain that would withstand all of this time, and also to have paint in this good condition.
The scabbard mounts are the early solid nickel type, with excellent nickel plated surfaces. These mounts show only the most modest of wear, and are still in perfect condition throughout. The mounts are retained by headless, side screws which are all in place. The upper and center ramp are equipped with eyelets and carrying rings. Attached to the carrying rings, is a fine chain with snap clip. It is amazing to see that this chain, as well as the snap clip, reflect all of the nickel plating to the surfaces. Usually, these snapclips, which are made of pot metal, rarely have this amount of plating. The snap clip has the built in patent on the reverse being, "DRGM". The chains have a series of round links, and there are nine ringlets at the top, and twelve ringlets at the bottom. An outstanding scabbard and chain here!
As we would hope after drawing the blade, it is great to see that this blade is still nice and bright, and in mint condition. In fact, this blade has a needle like tip with all its crossgraining. The reverse ricasso is etched with the double ovals, which contain the producer's name and location, "PAUL WEYERSEBERG/SOLINGEN". Inside is a downward pointing sword, with a wreath of wheat shafts. This trademark is very dark etched, indicating great preservation. A beautiful blade here, which has been protected by the in place black leather washer. As mentioned above this is an opportunity not to be missed to acquire a very rare postal protection leader in choice, near full mint condition.
Mint Minus. $6,495.00

Art, Music, and Theater live on the waterfront. FREE.
Arts on the Waterfront presents Romeo and Juliet: June 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 30th, and July 1st at 7:00pm 1300 Alaskan Way, Seattle, WA 98101, USA
There has been a tangible lack of free music and arts shows in the heart of downtown Seattle since the historic Summer Nights at the Pier concert series was shut down ten years ago, especially with construction to the viaduct looming closer. But this year but this year a pair aim to bring life back to the waterfront during construction with Arts on the Waterfront. Mickey Rowe and Laurie Roberts, the event coordinators, hope to revitalize and reinvent this event to include both theater and visual art as well as of course the live music that made the series such a staple of the Seattle scene years ago. As a kick-off before the July opening of the new 175-foot-high Ferris wheel at the same location, this event will surely bring life to the Waterfront.
Arts on the Waterfront's event will be located next door to the Seattle Aquarium and blocks west of the Seattle Art Museum. Buy local produce at the Pike Place Market and enjoy it next door to the Aquarium while watching free public theater followed by live music and moonlit dancing. There will be performances by local bands SolBird, The Horse Thieves, Country Lips, Fortune Dwellers and more for you moonlit lovers to dance the night away under the stars and over the sound.
Arts on the Waterfront's stunning two actor plus one cellist production of Romeo and Juliet takes a young urban Seattle scene and turns the conventions of storytelling upside down. This edgy retelling starts at 7:00pm using Puget Sound, the sunset, and the pier as its backdrop. Accompanied by hard-rock-Cellist Brandon Smith.
Art will be displayed before and after the show on the pier by a dozen local artists. This "starlit dance party" of theater events might just be the don't-miss event of the summer.
And remember the production and event are free and all donations and proceeds go to benefit The Trevor Project: Saving young lives. Find out more at www.thetrevorproject.com.
If you are a subscriber to ACT or Seattle Repertory Theater and RSVP to us with proof of your subscription at email@example.com we will reserve you seats with your name on them so you don't have to show up early. Our way of saying thank you for supporting our friends and neighbors.
If you are a visual artist interested in displaying your work or a local band who would like to play after a production let us know at email@example.com.
If you are a young person in crisis or thinking about suicide you deserve immediate support please call The Trevor Lifeline 1-866-488-7386 (1-866-4-U-TREVOR). The Trevor Project: Saving Young Lives.

In the adult products industry they are commonly called "watch batteries" but that term is a little bit generic. I will say that these batteries will replace the batteries in most mini-massagers including all mini-massagers that we sell. These batteries are usually called type L1154 or type LR44 but they also replace PX6a, KA76 and V13GA batteries. Pack of 6. |

NOTES FROM THE CURATORFrom Caxton
to Langston Writers' Reading Writers' marks are especially interesting. Authorial inscriptions tell us about personal relationships and document variations in handwriting or signature. Annotations record reactions to the competition, reflect prejudices, or show an author being difficult or vulnerable - in short, human. Reconstructing the contents of a writer's library can reveal source material behind famous works, or produce wonderful stories. Dr. Johnson, "though he loved his books, did not show them respect," says Boswell. He did not hesitate to slice leaves from a book with a greasy knife, or read while he ate, "and one knows how he ate." John Locke's library was a masterpiece of order, while Oliver Goldsmith and John Ruskin mutilated their books, tearing out chapters to avoid transcription, or giving choice pages to friends. It is riveting to see copies we know were owned by John Dryden, Edmund Spenser, or embellished with verse by Langston Hughes. These books exude an extra quality of life, like seeing a love letter. I am
Myles Blomefylde's booke Women's Libraries Scholarship is revealing much about women and their reading habits and the exhibition shows you some of the books they owned. Francis Wolfreston (1607-1677) had a library of over 400 volumes and almost all have her signature, Frances Wolfreston, hor bouk carefully written with a thick quill pen. Wolfreston's interest in drama and contemporary English literature was probably unusual for her time, but she acquired some the greatest rarities of early English literature. She had no less than ten Shakespeare quartos, a copy of the Rape of Lucrece (1616), and history is indebted to her for the first edition of Venus and Adonis (1593), a unique copy later owned by Edmund Malone and now in the Bodleian. Did any woman collect more Shakespeare in the 17th century? I must first
confess my want of Books. Thys Boke Is Myne shows
you volumes belonging to some of the greatest collectors in the early
modern period (John Dee, Edward Dering, Thomas Knyvett, John Lumley),
and books from renown family libraries, like the one at Britwell Court,
said to have rivaled or even surpassed the British Museum. The 18th century
was an age of great collectors as well as great actors and editors of
early drama, roles sometimes played by the same person. David Garrick's
library was unsurpassed. John Philip Kemble's was a model of scholarly
care. George Steevens and Edmund Malone, known more for being devoted
editors of Shakespeare, battled each other in the auction rooms. Thys Boke
was Pope's? When ye lok
on this remember me. Inscriptions in books are full of anecdote and human interest, and the study of provenance brings us closer to people and their history. Behold Anne of Cleves' gentle inscription to her future husband, when ye loke on thys remember me, in sharp contrast to Henry's VIII's pronouncement, Thys Boke Is Myne Prynce Henry. Somehow we know more about these human beings by the way they wrote in their books. This exhibition is a celebration of the history of private libraries, of people and their books. Petrarch (whose private library provided the nucleus of the future Bibliothèque Nationale) praised his books as "welcome, assiduous companions, always ready to encourage you, comfort you, advise you, reprove you and take care of you, to teach you the world's secrets and never bring you lamentation, jealous murmurs, or deception." That's why we own books and keep them close, that's what Thys Boke Is Myne is about. |
Richard received his B.A. at Swarthmore College in English Literature and completed his graduate studies at the Shakespeare Institute (England) and Trinity College Dublin (Ireland). After receiving a Masters in Library Service from Columbia University, he has worked as a library administrator in academic and research institutions for the past twenty years, with accomplishments in developing and implementing programs in reader services, with initiatives focused on conservation and special collections, and in library automation. Most recently, he has written and lectured on printing history in the Irish Literary Renaissance (Cuala Press), and the paintings of Henry Fuseli, a late-eighteenth century artist of Shakespearean themes, as well as doing consulting work in the field of library automation. Richard was University Librarian at St. Lawrence University from 1986-1994, where he presented the prestigious Frank P. Piskor Faculty Lecture in 1994. He was appointed Librarian of the Folger Shakespeare Library in February 1994. Yes, he liked the film Shakespeare in Love. |

Baked Bronzer glitters like gold, but don't be fooled—those sparkly golden flakes, combined with the peachy copper color, make this pressed bronzer much more appropriate as blush than a bronzer. As a blush, the peach undertone and glittery finish adds a warm wow factor to cheeks, but there is too much orange in the color and too much shine in the finish to make this product an option for creating a tan glow (and, depending on your preference, it can be too shiny for daytime wear).
The small number of shades is limited to variations of peachy copper, which are workable as blush for light to medium skin—if you're a fan of shimmer. If on the off chance you want to create the look of a sparkly sunburn, go ahead and use Baked Bronzer all over.
It's good to keep in mind that although many bronzers have varying degrees of shimmer, a matte finish bronzer is the best option for creating a faux tan appearance because a real tan doesn't sparkle! For better bronzing powder options, check out our list of Best Products.
Launched in 2002, Milani Cosmetics prides itself as being an affordable beauty line with a "passion for color and a recognized need for a broader variety" for women of different ages, skin tones and income. While many brands have a limited selection of products designed for medium to dark skin, Milani has succeeded in catering to women with deeper skin tones, which is this makeup line's chief point of difference. We admire Milani for celebrating the beauty in diversity, and their dedication to providing color options that are appropriate (and appealing) to a wide range of skin tones.
Milani focuses on face and eye products, and this is where they excel. Despite being a smaller brand (compared to the likes of Cover Girl or L'Oreal), Milani products can be found tucked alongside the big makeup lines in many drugstores and stores like Target and Wal-Mart. They've definitely added a splash of color to the cosmetics aisle, and several of their inexpensive products are definitely worth a look. But as with most makeup lines, there also are some poorly executed products to avoid.
This is a diverse line with a mix of bold, classic, and trendy makeup. Although the products may be aesthetically pleasing on the shelf, their visual appeal doesn't always translate well to actual application and performance quality. In some instances, Milani's philosophy of "color, color, color and more color" misses the boat by offering glitzy, ultra-vibrant shades, instead of more options for a classic makeup application (women of color have to go to work, too, not just out for the evening). Just because you have dark skin doesn't mean your color choices need to be shocking or ultra-bold. Still, as mentioned, Milani offers some worthwhile products and their prices are budget-friendly. On balance, you'll find more to like than avoid.

There was a great project with tissue and poster board on Doodle Do. Check it out! If you wet the paper (blue tissue) and ball it up, unwrinkle it, lay it on the board, it creates an "ocean". Loads of fun. Also, my son absolutely love gluing things. He likes to use foam stamps brushed with glue and then using fine glitter and flour. We have tons of stamps and stamp blocks and he even made ornaments for his little toddler friends with his stamps and glue and decorative paper. |

Time to start suing people for sucking
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 24, 2012 with Comments 2
The photo at left is off Matthew Migliaccio, a Little League catcher from New Jersey whose family is now being sued for more than $150,000 in "damages" by a 45 year-old woman. Their sin? Matt was warming up a pitcher in the outfield prior to his Little League game and overthrew a baseball. It struck one Elizabeth Lloyd breaking her orbital bone. Now, she wants her payday.
Look…I understand the pain and suffering. It must suck. The medical bills must cost a ton. But, c'mon man (or, in this case, woman)! Suing a then 11-year old kid for chucking a ball over the fence by accident? Not to get all common sensical, but how about keeping your head on a swivel? Maybe a little attention should have been paid? OK, even not, can we at least play human and chalk up a kid's accident to just that. Shi**y luck for sure, but a six-figure law suit?
I just can't wrap my arms around it. The details of the suit claim Migliaccio's throw was errant and intentional…reckless…and it took place all while "engaging in inappropriate physical and/or sporting activity." You know, because throwing a baseball before a Little League baseball game seems completely out of the ordinary and clearly inappropriate. Sorry lady, not seeing it. Maybe my lawyering campadre Erie's Scribe will make sense of this for me. But I say give the kid a break (OK, bad pun).

I'm a Mom to two girls with a full time job outside the home as well as tasked with the full time responsibilities of the home. Meaning, I'm in charge of cooking, cleaning, taking the dog out, laundry, baths, etc etc...
You know what I'm going on about.
When it comes to cooking, I need healthy meals that my kids will eat and meals that are quick to prepare.
After working all day, I have so little time to snuggle and play with my girls so I don't want to spend too much of that time tucked away in the kitchen, slaving away over the stove.
Enter Green Giant Seasoned Steamers.
I've been a huge fan of these steamer bags since they hit the market. All I have to focus on is the main chunk of my meal and then I just toss the microwave and ta-da I have a meal!
Green Giant Seasoned Steamers are a yummy combo of veggies picked at its peak and seasoned with amazing flavors. There's six selections to choose from: Tuscan Seasoned Broccoli (broccoli with Parmesan cheese and Tuscan-inspired seasonings), Mediterranean Blend (potatoes zucchini and carrots with Mediterranean-inspired seasonings), Brussels Sprouts (seasoned with sea salt and cracked peppers), Honey Roasted Sweet Corn (a blend of corn and peppers with a touch of honey), Honey Dijon Carrots (carrots flavored with honey Dijon seasoning), and Backyard Grilled Potatoes (roasted potatoes, peppers and onions with a season blend).
My family's favorite was the Honey Roasted Sweet Corn and the Honey Dijon Carrots. They were tender, seasoned just right and most importantly (for me): easy to make!
Want to try the Green Giant Seasoned Steamers? I've teamed up with MyBlogSpark to give away a prize pack to try out these yummy addition to dinner.
All I need you to do is leave me a comment on which Seasoned Steamer you want to try most.
Easy, huh?
This contest will run until December 17th, 2012 and is open to US Residents.
I participated in a MyBlogSpark campaign and received product from Green Giant through MyBlogSpark in exchange for this post. All opinions are 100% my own.

So, either you don't even go to this school or you're visiting from far, far away to see what Vancouver and its myriad of mos have to offer, regardless: here is what you need to know about Pride in Vancouver 2014. While the "pride" gays is felt (mostly on Grindr) for an entire week, the REAL events happen on the weekend when work is done and school lets out and the sun finally gets its act together.
Though we aren't the biggest of metropolises, we DO however have a load of party options and choosing which one is right for you can be overwhelming. Amassed below is the lineup of events put on by the staple of gay vancouver nightlife TFD productions and it spreads eagle over the entirety of Pride Weekend from July 31 – August 3. No matter what day you're looking to party, how hard, or with what kind of boys, there's something here for everyone with Rapture: OLYMPUS' pride lineup.
In honor of Mother's Day, some of the Homorazzi cast (past and present) decided to proclaim their love to their respective mothers on the website. We hope you enjoy this post which was originally published when the site first launched.
I love my Mom, and just recently we've developed a relationship of being less Mother/Son and more friends who can share a good laugh and story over a drink or two. While growing up, I never thought that I would come to a place where I actually WANTED to hang out with my parents, but that day came knocking on my door a few years back after I invited them to my 23rd birthday party and they actually showed!
It dawned on my that my Mom is a pretty rad woman who cares a lot about her family and who's sole goal in life is to make sure her children and grandchildren have everything in the world they could possibly want, even before her own needs. For this, I take my hat off to her, and say I love you with all my heart.
She hasn't had the easiest life, but I would like to think that the few beers we shared in sun are well remembered and will keep her smiling!
Thanks for everything Momma, I love you!

Well, it's come and gone. White Party Palm Springs' 25th Anniversary was absolutely what I was hoping for and more (well, to be honest: SLIGHTLY less… I only racked up 8 guys this year but I was focusing on friends so give a slut a break).
Let's start with an overview. The weather was actually what I would call pretty temperate for PS. We arrived to a mini wind storm Friday evening which had me showering every hour or so to stay moist and clean for the dirty days to come but it was reasonable to walk into fresh off a chilly plane ride from the great white north. Saturday was DAUNTINGLY threatening periods of rain- and seriously, does god hate gays, when does it RAIN in PS- but, some homo angel put a call to the big guy and it was nothing but clear skies and actually a very nice temp to go perfectly with the pool party madness.
Finally, Sunday saw light overcast to allow the hoards of dancing queens perfect comfort while at the T-Dance to take off their shirt but not be drowned in sweat. Monday (recovery day) was spent lazily around town and poolside soaking up REAL Palm Springs heat so you could assure a tan to make your coworkers jealous for your eventual return. I couldn't have been happier. But, who the fuck is reading this article for a weather report, right? Let's get to the parties, men and the men we met at parties!

In as much as my BA was in English Lit, my knowledge of writers contemporary and American is LIMITED. That said, hearing that Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe and Dexter's Michael C. Hall were costarring in this… what do I call it: gay, historical biopic work of fiction(?), I knew I had to try it. And, I'm very glad I did.
You do NOT need to be a lover of On The Road or Naked Lunch to appreciate this film- though I'm sure a love of mid-century writing couldn't hurt- but you do have to be okay with medium paced, psychological thriller-lite to enjoy Kill Your Darlings as most of the movie is spent in a drug induced comma as the protagonists (if you can call them that) plot to revolutionize Columbia University and destroy their enemies. The characters, as I mock their virtuosity are nonetheless very human- which you would hope for in a historical work. As such, you hate them as much as you respect their efforts and intellect. Watching the boys cheat, finagle and condescendingly make their way through the ivy league institute annoys as much as it does have you admiring them for their attempts to alter an educational system painfully limited in scope and creativity. Taking place in the 40s during WWII, the ever-present backdrop of a world war lends an almost humourous backdrop to these essentially spoiled boys who existentially question life while on nitric oxide as men and women die overseas for their right to do so. Let's just say you don't leave this movie loving the characters in it: you can still leave it loving the movie itself though, and I did.

Well, the moment's arrived: White Party Palm Springs' Talent is revealed! And, I can't WAIT to get down there!
The biggest name of all for me is definitely G.R.L.. A newer name to the scene I'm currently OBSESSED with their song Ugly Heart and they're blowing up the charts right now with their featured performance on Pitbull's Wild Wild Love single. While I would never touch the man sexually, he himself seems to have the Midas touch these days and everything and everyone he attaches to turns to gold and these ladies are no exception. The all-girl band was formed by Homorazzi's ever-loved Pussycat Dolls' Robin Antin and includes a collection of 5 talented girls from America, Britain and even our home up here in Canada. Covering all their bases they're looking to rock out the Sunday T-Dance which was dominated last year by Icona Pop and I'm sure G.R.L. will be able to fill the big stilettos left by those babes (WHOM I got a kiss from, just sayin'!).

As White Party Palm Springs 25th Anniversary quickly approaches (April 25-28), you can bet your ass (and mine!) that this Type A gay is mapping out anywhere and everywhere I want to get it wet while down in the sun… and I'm NOT talking about swimming.
After getting special approval by the boss at Homorazzi and the go ahead by the awesomely shameless men at WPPS, I've put together a careful article to describe the ins and outs of sticking it in and out while at this years event. I'm only a second year returnee to the party but you KNOW I'm already an addict and can't wait to get my fix. Last year, my best friend, partner in crime and co-owner of Homorazzi, Patrick and I took the sunny desert town by storm and we did not fail to come out with a smile on our faces and a check up planned at the clinic. To be fair, Patrick was there to meet celebrities, I was the only nicknamed "Dirty Dozen" by the flight home. It was a weekend for the books, but this time around I knew some planning was involved to ensure a record breaking trip and thought I'd share with the readers my two cents on the ultimate places to bang at WPPS.

The latest episode of Homorazzi has just aired this week on OUTtv and in case you missed it, it's now available to watch online below.
After discussing personal updates and some celebrity gossip, Tommy, Patrick and Adam move onto music. The boys take on Kylie Minogue's new "Sexercise" music video, Jennifer Lopez's "I Luh Ya Papi," and The Chainsmokers' "#Selfie" video.
Following music, they discuss some new movies that you should check out, including the much anticipated Veronica Mars. Moving onto television, there are a handful of new shows that are introduced that you may be interested in checking out.
Lastly, they share their thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race so far this season, as well as a wrap up on HBO's Looking. Check it out below!
You know life is going a little bit better than just decently when THIS is the kind of place you're "summering at". Hot damn are we here at homorazzi gonna be some lucky boys come this June. Look out Puerto Vallarta, cause you only think of you've endured sassy mo's before… you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Announces Investments
In Essential Rural Community Facilities
WASHINGTON, February 11, 2011 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced investments in projects in 24 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to improve rural community facilities such as schools, health care facilities, libraries, and first responder services and equipment.
"These projects will bring lasting improvements that are essential to maintaining strong rural economies and vibrant communities as we work to win the future," Vilsack said. "Preserving the infrastructure in rural areas is one of many ways that USDA assistance helps create and retain jobs."
For example, the city of Mineral Point, Wis., has been selected for a loan and a grant to renovate a library. A preliminary architectural report has indicated that mold in the building is a health and safety concern and is jeopardizing some of the oldest documents in the state of Wisconsin.

My wife and I recently returned from a truly magical week at WDW...and the magic started right away!
Checking in at our resort, they asked if we were celebrating anything. (Perhaps two adults being giddy as kids themselves tipped them off?) We explained that we were celebrating our Honeymoon. It was actually our First Wedding Anniversary, but after paying for the wedding, we couldn't afford the trip we wanted and decided to take it now instead. "Be sure and tell them at City Hall," they said.
Well, we did. Since we'd been there a few years ago for my birthday, we thought maybe we'd get a badge of some sort...and we did. But while we were making chit-chat with one CM, another slipped out the back and returned with a set of Bride & Groom Mickey/Minnie Ears! We were floored!
Naturally, we donned them immediately and headed out for our Disney experience. That extra bit of Magic added SO much to our belated Honeymood. (Yes, I typed that correctly. ;) )
We didn't catch their names, but THANKS SO MUCH to whomever those young ladies were!

John McCain on his memories tour has struck away from the political legacy of President George W. Bush, as he sought to plot an obstacle-strewn course back to the White House for the Republicans.
"The point is, I'm not running on the Bush presidency, I'm running on my own service to the country, my own record in the House of Representatives and the United States Senate and my vision for the future," McCain told ABC television.
But as Think Progress reports:
. . . on right-wing radio talker Mike Gallagher's show this past Friday, McCain struck a different tone, proudly declaring that "no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have." "Let me emphasize that there are many national security issues that I have strongly supported the president and steadfastly so," added McCain.
Later in the interview, McCain reiterated that he has "agreed with the president on many issues," though he said "there are some issues" they have not agreed on.
File this under things you'll be hearing again between now and November.

The Montana de Oro State Park hiking trails are just beautiful! The Bluff Trail is a wide trail traveling along the coast with several single path trails branching of the main trail so you can get a closer look over the bluffs. This is a very easy hike with lots to see. Gofers, rabbits, seagulls, and even rattlesnakes call the bluffs home. The parks name "mountain of gold" is fitting with so many golden wildflowers. The costal view from the trail was amazing and the rock formations below the bluffs will definitely intrigue you.Read More
Hygiene has to be on the top of the list. Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi are waiting for a sucker to come by for they can have a new home. Most often it's the other way around, humans are a walking talking petri dish. If we get sick in the wilderness it is usually our own fault because improper hygiene. Remember what your mother use to tell you? "Make sure you wash your hands and don't just rinse them use soap!" Mom was correct, the number one way of not getting sick on the trail. Read More
Vasquez Rocks reminds me of the movie 2012 when John Cusack is driving the RV trying to get to the plane. This place will remind you that we live in California and the power of earthquakes. First of all the trail names are pretty much non-existent. The only signage you find are these four-foot posts saying "stay on trail" "horse trail" or "foot trail." There are lots of trails with no signs out here. Some connect to other trails and some dead-end, usually at a place you wanted to see anyway. Read More
The trail to Inspiration Point is one of those great California trails. With plenty of wildflowers and wild grass that grows 6ft. you will forget you are still in California. This is a place you can make a day of it not just because of the trail but you will be in the center of some great Santa Barbara sites. The Santa Barbara Mission is 2 miles before the trail and the Botanic Gardens are 1.5 miles away for the trailhead. As you are driving up Tunnel road parking will be on the right. Read More
One study estimated that there were 750,000 to 900,000 black bears distributed across North America, and their numbers have been growing. A recent study in the Journal of Wildlife Management documented 59 fatal black bear attacks, resulting in 63 human deaths, in the United States and Canada from 1900 through 2009. And the scientists learned that many of our assumptions about bear dangers are wrong. The most important finding is that it is lone, hungry males. Read More
I recently had the pleasure to experience the Chantry Flat trails in Angeles National Forest. What a great area for hikers! As I drove up to the parking lot I was happy to see there was plenty of parking and the all-important bathroom at the trailhead. I put my National Forest Adventure Pass on the mirror, grabbed my pack and start walking towards the trail. At the trailhead there is an informative sign with 5 locations and the distance to them. You start off on the Gabrielino Trail. Read More
Mt. Pinos is for those hikers looking for the great outdoor adventure. The Forest Route 9N24 which leads to a wildlife observation point which has great views of the surrounding mountains and valley's is an easy hike with an average slop of 6.9% and is only a distance of 1.78 miles. Mt. Pinos elevation is 8800ft. so bring your coat even in June there is snow on the ground. The hike scenery is full of large pine trees, squirrels searching for food, and an occasional deer. Read More
What a great hiking trail this is! Right off Interstate 5 in Santa Clarita, this is a nice place to get a quick hiking fix. This trail has everything to train for your next long hike. Max slope of 33.9% average slope is 9.3%. Good switchbacks that keep you guessing where you are going. The trees and high brush offer nice shading for about 40% of this hiking trail very handy on those hot summer days. There is a lot to see here, Wild flowers, Tar pits, caves, streams, birds, squirrels and lots of snakes in the spring and summer. Read More
The La Jolla Canyon Trails has to be one of my favorite places for hiking. With so many connecting trails the drive is well worth your time. The trails are well maintained and offer a variety of terrains. Some of the trails are very narrow so you feel you are part of the land, not just viewing it. La Jolla Canyon Trail has canopies of brush, which offer a nice place to cool off on those hot summer days. On the La Jolla Canyon Loop Trail you will find beautiful large fields of wild grass. Read More
Before starting out on a hike there are some things you should consider. Know your own physical abilities. Do not make your first trip to the top of Mount Everest. Know your location. Before you go on a hike look at a map and plan your starting and ending points. Wear appropriate clothing. Maybe you are just going on a 3-mile hike so, you are dressed in shorts and a tee-shirt but what happens if you are injured or the trail you are on is now impassable? Read More
It is important that you plan ahead to prevent blisters, when on a hike. Socks are an integral part of your clothing when you go for a hike. To prevent blisters on your feet, your first defense could be wearing proper socks. Socks should be light and made of light material. It is ideal that you wear a synthetic sock that is a perfect fit and does not have any bulky seams. Over this you should then wear a wool or wool blend sock of medium weight. Read More
Exploring the woods, mountains, hiking trails, and other fun camping sites has been a beloved outdoor activity for ages now. There are so many ways to fully maximize nature that it would be impossible to enumerate in one article. But one thing that's a must to have make this an excellent experience is to have the right outdoor emergency kits and supplies. Supplies used for soothing burns, treating bites and even blocking the suns harmful rays have been around since the beginning of time. Read More

ford f350 vs. chevy silverado 3500
Posts: 3
i want to purchase a one ton dual wheel truck to pull a 40ft four horse trailer with 17foot living quarters weighing about 9600lbs without horses. the trailer people say to buy ford f350. of course, that is all you see horse people pulling with is the ford. in edmunds it says pick the truck that fits your needs and pulling a heavy load is mine. its says chevy outweighs ford and dodge when it comes to power and towing capacity. i would like any opinions in comparing 2002 chevy silv. LT 4dr crew dual wheel long bed diesel with the 2002 ford lariat super duty 4dr crew long bed dual wheel diesel. i just keep hearing bad things about chevy
look forward to any opionions.
look forward to any opionions.
modvptnl Posts: 1,352All Ford 250 and 350 trucks are 20,000 pounds TOTAL. I THINK Chevy is 22,000.
Factor in a 10K trailer + 6K in horses + 6-7K in truck and you're over the one ton truck limits WITHOUT passengers, fuel, luggage etc.
My suggestion is Ford's F550 on up. Don't know GM's offerings for that kind of load. -
vwracer Posts: 90The next horse show you go to take a drive around the barn and look at all the other trucks that are hooked up to horse trailors and I'm sure you will see a lot more FORD trucks then you will Chevy. Thats the real survey I used when I bought my FORD truck, except I'm into race cars not race horses. It's surprising how many guys race a Chevy car and pull it with a FORD truck.
xyz71 Posts: 179Chevy did not have much to compete with Ford Superduty trucks until the new Silverado HD. I would look at both - take a long test drive and make my own decision. Why not wait until Dodge updates the 2500/3500 Ram and compare all three. The reviews on the Ram 1500 have been great. Ford may finally have some competition.
mullins87 Posts: 959I agree with VW. Take a cruise around the horse shows to see what everyone else is driving. The vast majority will be Fords, followed by Dodges, then a distant third will be Chevys. I'm an RV'er. Most of the larger rv's are pulled by Fords, that's how I made my decision.
'99 F-350 XLT SC DRW PSD 6-speed w/3.73 gears - 100k so far and love it! -
v12power Posts: 174I have a '99 F350 diesel and a '01 2500HD duramax/allison. I have had far fewer problems with the 160k mile Ford than the 40k mile Chevy. Besides regardless of manufacturers ratings the Ford out pulls the Chevy. I tow max gvw loads daily with these trucks. If you need a nice car/truck the chev is quieter and more comfortable. If you intend to use it as a truck buy the Ford, it is much more HD IMO.
sebring95 Posts: 3,233you see alot of Fords around the horse shows is the crew cab. Dodge doesn't have one and horse people need to haul lots of people too. In the past the Chevys weren't used because they didn't have anything under the hood. I'm pulling a 35' 4horse with 12' living quarters (dry weighs 8500) with a Ram. I've pulled this with 4 horses and load and it handles it. The Fords can pull that as our trainer regularly pulled a 35' 6-horse with dressing rooms and the F-350 did the job. They work pretty hard with 16K behind them, but they'll do it, especially with some select tuning. The Ford is more of a "speed" motor for folks that like to tow 12,000# at 80mph. The Cummins will chug along 65mph and get similar mpg wether it's 12,000# or 16,000#. The Ford will slow down quicker and suck more gas with the big loads. That trainer has now switched over to a Cat powered Freightliner single axle mainly in order to haul more people. Now he gets about 6mpg, but it tows it like nothing and no more totally cramped 500 mile trips.
If I had to chose between the Ford and Chevy it would be the Ford. Maybe in 5 years after you see some Chevys with 200K and the problems ironed out I'd rethink it. Just too much past info available on the Ford and Dodge to venture into unknown territory. -
ak4x4 Posts: 126I would buy the Dodge 3500.
I don't want to get stuck when the Allison goes out. And Ford is just that a ford. But there are alot more Fords out there. U can get an older 350 dually for around 8 grand. That might be a good solution for ya.
And you still get the same powerstroke as the new one. Talking about 94-96 model year.. -
v12power Posts: 174So why would you buy the Dodge? If you need the 4x4 prepare to be working on the fronts suspension and brakes. They have problems.
The Powerstrokes prior to '99 are NOT the same. The entire FI system is different as well as the power output.
The allisons have not been failing any more often that the Ford or Dodge auto trannys, probably much less.
"And Ford is just that, a Ford." That statement shows true intelligence. Glad you could give us an opinion based on facts and expereience. -
bamatundra Posts: 1,583Read the March Motor Trend. The Tundra outhauled and outbraked the Chev 1500HD. This is basically the same truck as the 3500.
Motor Trend described the brakes as "scary" when the 1500HD was only loaded with 1000lb. WIMPY!
It does make a good grocery getter.
Can you imagine getting a duramin diesel and being limited to hauling 1000lb because of the cheap, wimpy brakes Chev crippled their "HD?" trucks with.
Get a Ford or a Dodge - you will get MUCH more truck for your money. -
mullins87 Posts: 959The trucks we are discussing here aren't even distant cousins to the 1500HD that you seem to be preoccupied with. The trucks we drive could carry two of your "overgrown car with big tires" Tundra on their back and never once complain. I would love to put my DRW F-350 up against your Tundra anyday to see who could outbreak who, empty, with 1,000 lbs or even 3,000 lbs. Ooopps! I'm sorry, your truck wouldn't even be able to get started with that kind of load.
bamatundra Posts: 1,583I know that you are going to find this hard to believe but that wimpy 1500HD is just a rebadged 3/4 ton. The Chev 3500 has the SAME weak brakes as the 1500HD.
Let's face it - as long as the Chev owners keep their loads limited to a couple of bags of groceries they MAY be alright. Don't try to work them though.
I personally think that the Ford F350 is a fine truck, in fact I suggested that people buy the Ford in an earlier post. That way they will get a heavy duty truck that isn't just heavy duty in name only like the Chevs.
Any time a 1/2ton truck such as the Tundra can outperform a Chev "HD" truck when loaded with just 1000lb, you got to wonder how Chev got the nerve to call their weak trucks "HD". -
plutonious Posts: 799"Unfortunately, we can't tell you that our Sierra's brakes performed without a hitch, as several drivers had harrowing experiences with a thing called premature ABS activation."
"Under normal driving conditions, the truck stops confidently, and the pedal has a solid feel. But, if you try to stop suddenly, the weight transfers to the front end, and the rear end lightens up. This can lead to what I consider premature ABS activation, especially if the road surface is at all bumpy. This results in a pulsing through the pedal and a near disappearance of stopping power. Very disconcerting."
"Since we were aware of the overeager ABS system (and regularly drove the Sierra with an empty bed and cab), editors planned for it and allowed themselves plenty of space between the truck and vehicles ahead. However, the system frequently surprised us anyway by engaging in instances where it clearly wasn't needed and lengthening stopping distances."
"My exit off the San Diego Freeway (I-405) was re-paved one weekend," Senior Editor Christian Wardlaw wrote. "On Monday morning, as I descended the ramp to Santa Monica Boulevard, the Sierra traversed the spot where the fresh blacktop of the ramp met the old concrete of the service drive. A new, insignificant bump at this juncture sent the Sierra's ABS into spasms, nearly hurtling me headlong into a Toyota slowing to a stop in front of me."
"Technology Editor Scott Memmer had a similar experience: "...Coming down a grade into an intersection in Glendale, Calif., the ABS grabbed suddenly and inexplicably — and this while traveling less than 20 miles per hour!"
Just gotta love those wonderful 4 wheel disk brakes on those Chevys!
NOW, imagine this truck going down the exit ramp actually towing or hauling a load. Can you say DISASTER?
The ONLY big American truck I would consider buying would be a Ford with the PSD. I really think GMC has lost it, especially recently. Consider yourself lucky if you buy a new GMC that doesn't knock, shake, or have a faulty transmission. Some of the posters here have 2 or all 3 of these problems, all in one truck! Imagine having an engine that knocks, then a transmission which doesn't work, on a truck that doesn't stop.
My vote goes to the F-250 or 350 with the diesel. -
kg11 Posts: 530The wonderful Allison transmission is what has ME pissed off.I have to admit,I have the worst one I've heard of,but for GM to bring this product to market without having the bugs worked out is inexcusable.
But the original ? was about F350 vs 3500HD both with diesel,and while I agree with pluto about GM's quality issues I don't think the F350 is enough truck for modelfarms' intended use.
F450 at the minimum and for the money I'm still partial to the Freightliner.

plutonious Posts: 799I don't recall modelfarm's question so I can't comment. Didn't you also say in an earlier post your truck is knocking as well and that you will take GM to court if they only offer you an upgraded warranty for that problem? I'm not trying to stir up trouble here. I don't think anybody (except for obyone!) deserves those kinds of problems after spending their hard-earned money on a truck and I sincerely hope this all works out in your favor at the end.
The only American trucks that ever impressed me were the Ford Power Stroke Diesels. If I needed a big truck, this would be the one for me, especially with the manual transmission. They seem like a good, solid truck. But no way, no how would my money ever go to GM. -

modvptnl Posts: 1,352you are that stubborn and self important to start an argument about something so trivial.
Unless you storm into a topic half baked, not knowing what the subject is being discussed......actually, that would explain a lot of things. LOL!!
The author of the thread asked the original question. In other words, the topic IS the 1st post ie: original question.
I can't wait for you to start a topic and tell you that's not what you mean. -
plutonious Posts: 799of the thread is F350 vs. Chevy Silverado 3500. I posted information which pertains to this topic. To wit: specific information taken from reputable sources regarding the Chevy's poor braking performance. This could and should be a factor which influences a potential buyer. Perhaps your reading comprehension and reasoning skills need a little work...
I find your allegation that I jump into topics "half-baked" rather amusing. I don't "get baked" for many reasons, one of which would be losing my career.
Maybe you can enlighten us all on how braking performance shouldn't be considered when buying a pick-up, especially when it is as poor (or even downright dangerous) as the Chevy's. -
kg11 Posts: 530In post #22 you precisely recaped the problems I've described over the past 2 months with my GMC.I bought the 3/4 ton to tow a 7000lb boat,something any 1/2 ton v8 PU can do.I wanted a bigger engine and brakes than available in a 1/2 ton.I don't have a problem getting on the freeway OR STOPPING when I need to but as for quality,you're right and I find out tomorrow if they're buying it back without a fight.Most people LOVE the Allison AND the Duramax,but if I was buying a truck with an auto trans to tow a 16000+ lb trailer it wouldn't be a ford or chevy.The 6 spd would work for the ford and surprisingly I still like the Allison, but as I stated in post #4 medium duty is the obvious choice.
