Good luck finding an Ashton Martin.
Where do all you people saying youre gonna buy a house and buy a $75k car think you're gonna get the money? RNs make decent money, but you're not exactly instant millionaires. You have student loans, then you have bills, then you have certifications, etc.. then MAYBE you can have some money left over for frivolities.
But you really think you're gonna be handed a check for $200,000 the day you get your license? -
1Jun 9, '12 by CarolesChoiceI'm having to sell my beautiful red Avalanche to pay for the first semester or two of tuition. Right now, I need the money more than I need my beautiful truck. When I get done with school, though, I'm gonna be on the hunt for a beautiful red convertible that will seat all four of my dogs and my husband!shawn39 likes this.
2Jun 10, '12 by plumbtricianNothing. My life won't change a bit when I have the privilege of treating patients in the hospital setting, etc. As for the generous paychecks that nurses receive, please save for retirement and make smart decisions with your newly earned grip. You are not a balla, you are a nurse.on eagles wings and shawn39 like this.
0Jun 11, '12 by seanynjboyQuote from Living4PeaceYO!!! Well...I ALREADY BOUGHT A HOUSE 2 YEARS AGO AND I AM 28 YEARS OLD...SO HA!!! lol. My first purchase (after loans are paid off) Is either going to be a car (yeah, nice creativity) or save a lot of money to build a house. I bought a quasi-cookie-cutter house on the end of a cul-de-sac. LOVE IT. But I want my own everything. I want to design it from the ground up.My first major purchase will be....wait for it.......A HOUSE, lol. I know some of you are like "WTH" lol. I am going to work my ass off that first year or so for a down payment. What are you losers *ahem*, I mean gentlemen going to buy?
Most likely going to keep this house as a rental since it is close to a university :P -
5Jul 5, '12 by TurtleLittleCome to think of it, I never thought of buying anything for myself when I get my first paycheck as an RN. Well, thinking about car of some point but the most compelling thing from the bottom of my heart I would and probably will do is to buy a LV bag for my mother. I don't care if that means being wasting money or unpractical to some ppl. It is a matter of pride & love.
When I came to this country, my mother had to put up with so much craps and push her limits in her 50s all over again for my family. Some fairly well earning relatives bragged with my mother about their LV bags and stuffs and she just smiled it off. She truly thinks a LV bag has always been just some never-came-true super unrealistic luxurious dream for a woman like her. I mean my whole family were practically homeless with no English, no money, no job, no education, no real skills whatsoever ....so an LV bag? Come on! Then the same relatives (GO figure!) told my mother that nurses make pretty good money, have a stable job, and earn high respects from their hard-work/competitive education and contribution to society but "dream on your kid probably only can just work in the factory IF he is lucky. Might also take him couple more years to study English in college before anything". Funny that the counselors in my college told me the same BS. lol
I told my mother: "Bring it on! Mom, I will become a nurse at the shortest time as possible from my standing and I buy you a LV bag like it's no big deal!"
I came to this country in 2007, started going to college in 2008 and will be graduating my BSN in this December 2012. Can't wait to prove that I am keeping my words to my dear mom soon! Happy July 4th everyone! This country is so beautiful. ^^

Everyone's favorite monkey is returning to TV screens with a new season of Curious George.
Carol Burnett guest stars in the season premiere as Curious George's Great Aunt Sylvia, who is coming for a visit. In an exclusive clip from the show, Curious George oh-oh-ah-ahs with excitement when his beloved aunt arrives — and even better, she comes bearing gifts! Little George is happy to unwrap a monkey-sized front loader. As Great Aunt Sylvia explains, "I drove the real thing when I was in construction." She gets a loving hug as a thank you, but later they discover the front loader is defective. Keeping with its educational theme, the show then follows George and Sylvia as they try to figure out how to fix the toy.

Father: Okay To Say 'No' To Facebook For Lent [AUDIO]
It's the season of Lent -- and that means a lot of fish frys. But a Father at three St. Cloud churches says Catholics don't necessarily have to eat fish on Fridays. And, as for the tradition of giving something up during lent, he says the Catholic Church is fine with you abstaining from more modern temptations such as TV or Facebook.

Campaign to reform current prostitution laws in UK
To the House of Commons, The Petition of the undersigned, declares that the current laws on Prostitution in the UK are outdated for the twenty first century. The problems with trafficking in the UK demonstrate how the current laws do not assist in reducing prostitution nor do they help to protect vulnerable women who have been coerced or in many instances forced into prostitution. Although slavery was abolished in the UK almost 200 years ago, slavery still exists for many women in prostitution in the UK. We believe that serious action is now needed to combat this horrific human rights abuse. The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons reviews the current laws on the supply of sex and prostitution. The undersigned request that new laws are introduced following the bold stance taken by the Swedish government in 1999 which made the demand, rather than the supply illegal. We believe that prostitution is inherently an abuse of women and does not exist to allow women freedom of choice, but is a symptom of the lack of choice for many women. We believe that prostitution will only be reduced in the UK if the demand for prostitutes is tackled in a thorough and comprehensive manner.

2 years ago Comments: If the government are dedicated to improving and protecting the lives of the victims of the sex industry, then it is ridiculous that this even needs to be questioned. By looking at the success that Sweden has had, statistically, by falling numbers of Human Traffickers, less women falling into prostitution and a huge drop in the number of men paying for sexual acts, this really is a no-brainer.

Prepare for long and wandering narrative:
So four years ago exactly, my first nephew was born. I traveled to see him and was captivated by my sister in law's irises in full bloom in Richmond Va. I thought I felt a little pang of jealousy and longing for a voluptuous bed of my own irises. I attributed it to the fact that emotions were swirling out of control and who would not love sitting in the beautiful May sunshine in a bed of irises with a newborn baby sleeping on one's shoulder!? I ignored it since I'm a good old fashioned rose-and-daylily girl and irises are just... well... irises, right? Last year we bought our first house and planted beds full of roses and daylilies. Thanks to my aunt and some guerilla gardening, I was able to salvage some heirloom irises from my old homeplace which is under new ownership, so I planted those for purely sentimental reasons. I would never BUY an iris, you know. So here we are in our first spring as homeowners and gardeners. The roses have plenty of buds but no blooms. The daylilies have plenty of folliage but no scapes. BUT, my gardens are delightful, thanks to the heirloom IRISES!!! So yeah... I am giving in. Maybe I'm an iris girl afterall. O:) Any idea what this lovely is? From the old farmhouse, been there 35+ years until it came to live with me. |

I love your gallery, aquawise. |
Thanks! I am pretty sure it is Accent. I posted it on facebook and my great aunt said her mother had a huge iris bed, from which this one probably came, so it makes sense. |

So glad you found it! thanks for sharing. |
- Posted by davehertle 7 (My Page) on Sat, May 21, 11 at 8:16
I had this iris appear a couple of weeks ago. I live just north of Richmond, but these came from my Mom's Flower Garden of the 50s and 60s via my sister who took some to Indiana. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ??? Iris
It looks just a little like Frank Adams, very common one around here. |
DaveHertle, Your yellow/red iris looks just like mine, which I have decided looks most like 'Accent'. It is very similar to Frank Adams but more vibrant of a yellow hue where Frank Adams is more muted. Accent was introduced in 1953, so that puts the timing into perspective too. Good luck finding answers! |

This product has been discontinued
This sunscreen is the best sunblock I have used so far. It doesn't look greasy and doesn't break me out. My skin is even smoother and moisturized and matt after applying this sunblock cream. Love it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried countless sunscreen products and this is by far the best! I love the matte finish it leaves behind and absolutely no white residue.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love it. Like the previous reviewers have said, it has a wonderful matte-finish which keeps the oil in check. I barely have to use powder anymore and simply blot my skin with a napkin when it's too shiny. This is wonderful and smells great and keeps your skin smooth and healthy. 5 stars!
More reviews by Sweetnessismyweakness
This is my first review on MUA. Actually, I just discovered this web-site about 3 weeks ago (I know, I know, where have I been?). Not only am I now hooked on MUA, I am also hooked on this sunscreen! This product is incredible. I have been on a search for the best sunscreen/moisturizer with antioxidants forever and can finally stop looking. I have tried other products (DDF, Lancome, Prescriptives, Mario Badescu, etc.) but none of them compare to this one. I first read about this product in Allure and Lucky. Then I discovered this web site and read all of the reviews listed here. The other reviews are spot on in that it absorbs quickly, mattifies, is Amazing under makeup (my Chantecaille Future Skin never looked better) and best of all protects my fair (NW20) skin from the sun. So glad I finally found my HG sunscreen; just in time for summer. Thanks MUA!
The best sunscreen for ultra humid/warm climates -- it has superb mattifying effects. Granted, I'll still sweat in 90-100 degree temps, but compared to other stable UV blockers, this won't melt off or make my face look like I rubbed it in Crisco. That said, if the weather is anything but hot, my skin cannot tolerate this sunscreen. It dries me up like the Sahara and causes pimples/bumps to erupt --- due to the drying effects of the talc in the ingredients...and also because it's hard to wash off the product completely (potential to clog pores). I always need to use a mineral oil or oil-based cleanser to remove this sunscreen thoroughly. I'd still repurchase for summer vacation --- it would be perfect otherwise if I could wear it year round.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
HG. I've looked for a non-greasy high SPF-ed sunblock for YEARS, and this is the first that I unequivocally would recommend to everyone. I lived in London or four years and found I could get away with slightly lower SPF's, but have recently moved back to India, where the temperature hits 46 degrees (Celsius) in summer-so you can imagine that even the most oil-free sunblocks ended up feeling like a mask. Not this one-it applies easily, dries to a silky-matt finish (no easy feat in this sort of heat and dust), and keeps me matt and non-sticky ALL DAY. It has an SPF of 38++, and feels light and smooth on my skin. quite drying-if it wasn't so hot i'd definitely need to slather moisturiser on before, so dry-skinned MUA-ers, moisturise first. Highly recommended.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Lovely sunscreen. Other reviewers were right-on about the matte finish. I find that this stuff makes my Shu Water Perfect foundation wear better. Could be because the sheer liquid has a well-primed surface to cling to. And the SPF 36 is reassuring. Nothing, and I mean nothing, out there can compare. My skin literally looks fresh and clean at the end of the day, even after sports. BTW, I tried wearing my foundation over just moisturizer one time (I was getting ready for a dinner party and thought it didn't make sense to wear sunscreen), and what a mistake! I was blotting like crazy and the foundation seemed to dissolve before the end of the night. Should have worn the sunscreen.
This is my HG for facial sunscreen! Love the mild fragrance (it doesn't have that typical sunscreen smell at ALL) and it's creamy texture. I put it on over my regular daiy moisturizer and it absorbs quickly leaving no shine. I also use it in my sensitive eye area and there's no irritation at all. Plus, I think the price is very affordable for a high end sunscreen.
Oily skinned gals do not be scared by the "cream" description. This ss is fabulous for oily skin and actually mattifies on me. I also have large pores and it works as a light primer. I still use a pore filler afterwards but it really does smooth you out. I use a lot (maybe 1/2 tsp) and it never accentuates my RAM flakies or gets greasy or balls up on me. No whitish cast and no scary smell. Amazing. Shiseido does have samples of this at the counter so don't be afraid to ask for them first. I really love this sunscreen and have noticed my skin actually lightening up after using it! It must be working!!!!

Park's 2013 march matches other historic seasons
Inbee Park's third consecutive major championship title at last week's U.S. Open and her third straight LPGA victory have established one of the greatest seasons in LPGA history.
"I probably wouldn't get this kind of opportunity ever again," Park said last week. "I know this year is a good opportunity for me. But I think one of my goals for my career was the Career Grand Slam, not the Grand Slam, but I think Career Grand Slam is good enough for me. I haven't done that yet. It would mean so much if I could do the Grand Slam. But it takes so much hard work, and it takes a lot to do.
"I'm just glad that I can give it a try at St. Andrews. That's going to be a great experience. Whether I do it or not, I'm just a very lucky person."
Consider a look at Park's accomplishments by the numbers:
3: Park will be aiming for a fourth 2013 major championship – and her Career Grand Slam – Aug. 1-4 at the Ricoh Women's British Open at St. Andrews, Scotland. It's the only major championship she hasn't won. (She won the Evian last year before it earned major championship status this year.) No professional, man or woman, has won four major championships in a calendar year. Only amateur Bobby Jones has won four major titles in a season, as he captured the 1930 U.S. Open and Amateur and British Open and Amateur titles, then the designated majors.
Only two players have held four major titles at the same time. In 1961-62, Mickey Wright won the 1961 U.S. Women's Open by six strokes in July and the 1961 LPGA Championship by 10 strokes in October and began 1962 with playoff wins at the Titleholders in April and the Western Open in May to hold all four trophies. In 2000-2001, Tiger Woods won the 2000 U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship and began 2001 with a victory at the Masters Tournament.
In 1953, Ben Hogan won the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open but couldn't compete in the PGA Championship because that event's dates in early July conflicted with Hogan's only career appearance in the British Open at Carnoustie.
These LPGA players have won three majors in a season:
- Babe Zaharias, 1950: Won the Titleholders in March by eight strokes; the Western Open in June by a 5 and 3 margin in the match-play final and the U.S. Women's Open at Cherry Hills by nine). Only three majors were held in 1950.
- Mickey Wright, 1961: Wright won the Titleholders in April by one stroke, the U.S. Women's Open in July by six and the LPGA Championship in October by 10. At the Western Open in early June, Wright finished third behind Mary Lena Faulk.
- Pat Bradley, 1986: Bradley won the Nabisco Dinah Shore, LPGA Championship and du Maurier Ltd. Classic. At the U.S. Women's Open, she finished T5.
4: Park said on Sunday that she will play in the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic July 11-14 in Ontario, Canada (she turns 25 on July 12) and the Marathon Classic presented by Owen Corning and O-I July 18-21 in Sylvania, Ohio before returning home to South Korea and on to St. Andrews. She has won three consecutive LPGA starts and is on the verge of the LPGA's consecutive wins mark of four.
Here are the most consecutive LPGA wins (four) in scheduled events:
- Mickey Wright, 1962 (Heart of America Invitational, Aug. 9-12; Albuquerque Swing Parade, Aug. 17-19; Salt Lake City Open, Aug. 23-26; Spokane Open, Aug. 31-Sept. 3)
- Mickey Wright, 1963 (Alpine Civitan Open, May 10-12; Muskogee Civitan Open, May 16-19; Dallas Civitan Open, May 23-26; Babe Zaharias Open, May 31-June 2)
- Kathy Whitworth, 1969 (Orange Blossom Open, March 13-17; Port Charlotte Invitational, March 20-23; Port Malabar Invitational, March 27-30; Lady Carling Open, April 17-20)
- Annika Sorenstam, 2001 (Welch's/Circle K Championship, March 8-11; Standard Register PING, March 15-18; Nabisco Championship, March 22-25; The Office Depot Hosted by Amy Alcott, April 12-14)
- Lorena Ochoa, 2008 (Safeway International Presented by Coca-Cola, March 27-30; Kraft Nabisco Championship, April 3-6; Corona Championship, April 10-13; Ginn OPEN, April 17-20)
Here are the most consecutive wins in tournaments participated (five, includes a missed tournament or multi-year streak):
- Nancy Lopez, 1978 (Greater Baltimore Classic, May 12-14; Coca-Cola Classic, May 19-21; Golden Lights Championship, May 26-29; did not play Peter Jackson Classic, June 1-4; LPGA Championship, June 8-11; Bankers Trust Classic, June 16-18)
- Annika Sorenstam, 2004-2005 (2004 Mizuno Classic, Nov. 5-7; 2004 ADT Championship, Nov. 18-21; 2005 MasterCard Classic honoring Alejo Peralta, March 4-6; 2005 Safeway International Presented by Coca-Cola, March 17-20; 2005 Kraft Nabisco Championship, March 24-27)
6: Park has won six times this season in 13 starts. The record for most wins in a season is 13 by Mickey Wright in 1963.
281: Park has already accumulated 281 points in the Rolex Women's Player of the Year race compared to 92 for second-place Stacy Lewis. In order to make up the 189-point differential and make a race at the end of the season, 2012 Player of the Year Lewis would need to win at least six tournaments or the two remaining major championships and two other tournaments and finish higher than third in another – with Park accumulating no points.
In the Rolex points system (with no ties), 30 points are given for first, 12 for second, nine for third, seven for fourth; six for fifth, five for sixth, four for seventh, three for eighth, two for ninth and one for 10th. Double points are awarded at major championships.
$2,106,827: Park has surpassed $2 million in earnings for the second time in her career. The LPGA record for earnings in a season is $4,364,994 by Lorena Ochoa in 2007.
Webb, Creamer cuts streaks at 56
Karrie Webb and Paula Creamer are tied for making the most consecutive cuts on the LPGA at 56. Webb hasn't missed a cut since the September 2010 NW Arkansas Championship and Creamer since the 2010 season-ending LPGA Tour Championship.
Jiyai Shin's cuts streak ended at 48 at the U.S. Women's Open, dating back to the 2010 LPGA Tour Championship.
Beatriz Recari's cuts streak stopped at the U.S. Women's Open at 46 when she missed the cut with rounds of 81-71. Recari played in 62 consecutive LPGA tournaments, dating back to the 2010 Lorena Ochoa Invitational, without a missed start before taking a break at the Bahamas tournament in late May.
Monroe Golf Club in Pittsford, N.Y., the site for the 2014 Wegmans LPGA Championship Aug. 14-17, becomes the 16th course to host the major championship. The first course was Orchard Ridge Country Club in Ft. Wayne, Ind., in 1955. The tournament has also been played in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, Ohio, Delaware and New York. … Early in the week of the U.S. Open, four LPGA players participated in the CVS Caremark Charity Classic in Rhode Island. Morgan Pressel teamed with Jay Haas to finish third, six strokes behind the winning team of Steve Stricker-Bo Van Pelt. Russell Henley-Juli Inkster finished T5, Peter Jacobsen-Lexi Thompson T7 and Billy Horschel-Annika Sorenstam 10th.

FIJI Water Keeps Things Cool at the Lacoste L!VE Coachella Desert Pool Party
FIJI Water was the official water sponsor at the Lacoste L!ve's 4th Annual Desert Pool Party in celebration of Coachella in April.
The all-day party and hang-out was hosted at a private estate in Thermal, CA near the wildly popular SoCal music festival. Over the 2-day pool party, we cooled down the A-List crowd with Snow Cones made with frozen FIJI Water. Brand Ambassadors outfitted in Lacoste also tray-passed chilled bottles with the new and exclusive FIJI Water straw.
Celebrity guests included Chris Pine, Alessandra Ambrosio, Katy Perry, the Jonas brothers Joe and Nick, Brad Goreski, and many more.

The presidency of George W. Bush continues to be debated by historians, political scientists, scholars, and students alike. Two scholars at Princeton University, Sean Wilentz and Julian E. Zelizer, recently conducted a course on Teaching 'W', and discovered that academics should reconsider updating their approach to teaching history by incorporating more recent texts in their curricula. For the full article, go to: http://tinyurl.com/2cs9887
They write, "A seminar like ours is just the beginning of the conversation– of both the Bush presidency and the study of contemporary history. Political questions are too often left in the hands of economists, political scientists, and other social scientists. But historical analysis is extraordinarily valuable as well. Analyzing our recent political past is not just an important intellectual exercise. It can help scholars, policy makers, and citizens gain a stronger foundation for making vital political decisions in the coming years."
Decision Points, President Bush's long-awaited book, is an excellent primary text that covers the historic events of one of the most consequential eras in American history. The book is sure to spark classroom discussions and debate, further enhancing the teaching of U.S. history in the first decade of the 21st century.

Tel Aviv is full of independent and timeless boutiques celebrating the city's homegrown style.
Olia: The extra-virgin olive oils at this shop close to City Hall are sourced from around Israel by owner Hilla Wenkert. Since the store's debut, Wenkert has expanded its offerings to include prepared foods—spice blends, fruit and vegetable chutneys, and flavored vinaigrettes.
Elemento: In the heart of Old Jaffa, Elemento carries colorful, modular furniture (couches, lamps, and tables) made by native designer Yossy Goldberg. There's also an impressive collection of affordable contemporary photography and paintings by local artists.
Hatachana: Set between Neve Tzedek and Noga, Hatachana houses a series of clothing and houseware boutiques showcasing Israeli designers. Don't miss Naama Bezalel for flirty feminine dresses and Made in TLV, filled with quirky accessories and gifts (bags printed with vintage city maps; mini ceramic Bauhaus buildings).
Sketch: Yossi Katzav founded Sketch, one of the country's first upscale men's labels, after leading the design team at DKNY, in New York. His impeccably crafted pieces range from simple slacks and finely woven shirts to slim-cut leather jackets.
Talents Design Gallery: A three-year-old incubator of Israeli talent, this shop manufactures and promotes the work of regional furniture makers. The pieces—stainless-steel origami wall art; earthy stone tables—are increasingly found in top restaurants and hotels across the globe.
Daniella Lehavi: For classic women's shoes, head to Daniella Lehavi. Her color-block and patterned leather sandals and wedge-style heels are popular among the city's sophisticated set. The place itself is a work of art, with a 1930's-era façade that changes colors to match Lehavi's seasonal collections.

Summary: Why do children play?What can children learn from playing?What have psychologists learned from 150 years of studying play '' usually a bit too seriously?The Development of Play explores the central role of play in childhood development. David Cohen examines how children play with objects, with language, and most importantly with each other and their parents. He explains how play enables children to learn how to move, think, speak and imagine, as well as to develop emotionally and s ...show moreocially. Incorporating much of the recent research in this area, including that of John Flavell, Henry Wellman and others, The Development of Play shows how play encourages children to grasp the difference between appearance and reality.This new edition updates and builds on the previous two editions, to include new research on pretending and the theory of mind, autism and how parents can play creatively with their children.

5 votes | Nikon D60 hitting in February for $800?Jan 30, 2008 |
We had all the vitals last night except for the price. Lucky for us, the D60 showed up today over at Henry's with a pricetag of \$800, not bad at all for this low-end DSLR. Nikon still hasn't said anything officially beyond "pricing information will be available approximately 30 days prior to sales availability,"

Here is the way I sew the head/neck incision closed while using part of the real skull. I always start the cut at the back of the skull and run it down the top of the neck about 2". I slowly skin the head and inverting it all the way to the bill. Since I had already skinned this bird on another day I couldn't take pictures of that but if anyone has questions I can dig some pics up for you.
When sewing it closed I start while the head is still inverted and go about half closed before re-inverting. This helps with the thread not tangling with feathers or getting caught on existing bone.
NOTE: I am only able to start this way because I only use the top half of the skull
Now that I was about half way done I re-invert the head and finish sewing it closed
Here you can see that I do NOT pull the stitch tight. If you do you will have issues with the feathers getting bound up and will never get a flat final appearance.
Since it is extremely difficult to get the neck dry on the inside I always use my air compressor to blow air into the head and neck before going any further. Moisture will find it's way to the cut and wet feathers are no fun to deal with later, even after tumbling. If you skip this odds are the seam will be wet and cause issues later
This is a skin after I have dried and tumbled it. As you can see the feathers lay nice and flat along the back of the head and neck.
Here is the same skin after the necking material has been inserted. You can see it is still nice and smooth. Note: This is before I taxi everything into place
This is by no means the only way to do this but it works for me. I hope this helps some of you.
Next I will post pictures of how I tape and card the wings on a flying bird

Hasbro Buckles Down on Copyright Infringement, Pony Fans in Outrage
Anonymous Coward writes | about 2 years ago
An anonymous reader writes "Back in 2011 there was a Slashdot story submitted about Hasbro's lenient copyright enforcement policies with regards to the then-new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic reboot. Hasbro did not protest when older fans created parodies and derivative works (and they even turned a blind eye when full episodes of the show were uploaded to YouTube) as they saw this activity as helpful to growing the brand. This was largely successful: the "brony" fanbase has swelled to the millions (their news site Equestria Daily is actually capable of Slashdotting other websites), and My Little Pony--a franchise previously known for being of interest only to little girls--has made its mark in pop culture. Now, Hasbro's tune has changed. Parodies and other works have been taken down, leaving fans upset and very worried. It looks like the cease-and-desist recently sent out to the fan-made game "Fighting is Magic" has become the straw that broke the camel's back, sending the fanbase into a total furor. (The linked article has so far attracted 1000 comments in just over two hours.) Also, it's worth noting that Hasbro originally was fine with this game being created, and this reversal means the cease-and-desist came after months of development.
Yes, it's true that this is (or was originally) just a show for little girls. However, My Little Pony became huge among grown men (!) in part because Hasbro was lenient on copyright enforcement--they basically allowed their content to be pirated, seeing it as free advertising. Now that they've reversed their policy, what will this mean for the fans? And what will it mean for the franchise?"

The salesman is suggesting the Genesis UNI MX900, which is really pricey. I know nothing about this -- I have never had a universal remote. Help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a lot of remote controls out there. The MX900 is a good one. Note that it is only RF though if it is matched with the correct base station. Check out the link below. The remote control is only as good as the guy programming it for you. Make sure that the remote control operates all the items that you want it to, and that you understand how to operate it, before the programmer leaves. |

Israel, Hamas to Negotiate New Gaza Deal in Cairo
Israel, Hamas to Negotiate New Gaza Deal in Cairo
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 4:30am and News at 9pm.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- The outlines of a solution for battered, blockaded Gaza are emerging after Tuesday's tentative Israel-Hamas cease-fire: Norway is organizing a donor conference and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas aims to oversee rebuilding and reassert his authority in the territory, lost to Hamas in 2007.
Forces loyal to Abbas would be deployed at Gaza's crossings to encourage Israel and Egypt to lift the closure they imposed after the Hamas takeover.
Indirect Israel-Hamas talks in Cairo are to tackle the details. The hope is that promises of a better life for Gazans will coax compromise and avert what had been looking like a fight to the finish.
The gaps remain wide, especially between Israel and Hamas.
Israel says it has inflicted a painful blow to Hamas' military capabilities in the monthlong fighting and wants to make sure the group cannot re-arm if border restrictions are eased.
"The extent to which we are going to be ready to cooperate with the efforts to have better access and movement in Gaza will deeply depend on the kind of arrangements that would secure our peace and security," said Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior official in Israel's Strategic Affairs Ministry.
Hamas, in turn, has signaled flexibility on ceding some authority to Abbas in Gaza, but insists on having a say on reconstruction and that it will not disarm.
Izzat Rishq, a senior Hamas official, said disarming isn't up for discussion.
"We'd take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance," he told The Associated Press.
Despite such tough talk, Hamas is in a position of relative weakness.
The Islamic militant group's fortunes changed dramatically last year after the Egyptian military deposed a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo and began closing hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border.
The closures deprived Hamas of a key source of revenue the taxation of goods brought through the tunnels and prevented weapons and cash destined for Hamas from flowing into Gaza.
By this spring, Hamas was in such a severe financial crisis that it accepted a reconciliation deal with Abbas. Under that agreement, an Abbas-led government was to run both the West Bank and Gaza, though thorny issues were put off, including Hamas' insistence that it retain control over its security forces. The unity government was stumbling by the time Israel-Hamas fighting erupted on July 8.
Even before the war, Gaza was in bad shape because of the prolonged blockade.
Unemployment in the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people had risen well above 50 percent, in part because of Egypt's tunnel closures. Only half of Gaza's electricity needs were being met, and the closure prevented most Gaza residents from travel.
After four weeks of intensive fighting, including close to 5,000 Israeli strikes on Gaza targets, the devastation is widespread.
According to initial figures from Gaza's main U.N. aid agency, some 10,000 homes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Gaza's only power plant was forced to shut down last week after being shelled by Israel, and repairs will take months, Gaza officials said.
One of the hardest-hit areas was the southern town of Rafah, where intense shelling over the weekend appeared to have spared little. Mosques, homes, offices, stores and at least one school either lay in ruins or were badly damaged, hit by shrapnel or gunfire.
After Tuesday's cease-fire took effect at 8 a.m. (0500 GMT), thousands of Rafah residents returned home to try to salvage belongings.
Ahmed Barbakh, a 36-yer-old government employee, emerged from his badly damaged home with a plastic bag containing the birth certificates of his five children and other crucial documents.
A lone chicken was all that was left of the dozens he raised at home. "I am not taking it. What am I supposed to do with a chicken now? I need a place to live with my wife and children," Barbakh said as he made his way out of his crushed home.
Nearly 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, the vast majority civilians, according to Gaza health officials and U.N. figures. On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and three civilians were killed.
The truce is to remain in effect for at least three days, with an expectation that it will be extended to allow Cairo talks on a Gaza solution to proceed. Both the United States and the U.N. are sending representatives.
Mohammed Mustafa, a deputy prime minister in the Abbas-led government, said he has already started preparing a Gaza reconstruction plan that would be presented at an international pledging conference in Norway.
He said the usual lineup of donors the United States, European Union, Japan, Arab states and international organizations like the World Bank are likely to be there.
Norwegian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Veslemoey Salvesen confirmed that Norway will host the conference in early September in Oslo, but said no date has been set.
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair is also involved in arranging the conference, his office said.
Mustafa, an economist, said in a phone interview from the West Bank that the war caused at least $6 billion in immediate damage, but the figure is expected to rise once inspectors can survey the territory.
Abbas expects to take the lead in any reconstruction effort, Mustafa said, suggesting that Hamas should step aside and enable the Abbas-led unity government to carry out the task. "This is the deal, this is my understanding of our role in the future," he said.
Rishq, the Hamas official, said his movement does not have a problem with Abbas raising money for Gaza, but expects to have a say about rebuilding the territory. "I think the appropriate approach for rebuilding Gaza is having a national commission," he said.
In the Cairo talks, Hamas is part of a Palestinian delegation led by an Abbas confidant, Azzam al-Ahmed, and also includes members of other Palestinian factions.
The Palestinian delegation has presented a list of demands, including a lifting of the border closure and a release of Palestinian prisoners arrested by Israel in a recent West Bank sweep.
A three-member Israeli delegation arrived in Cairo late Tuesday, according to an Egyptian airport official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Israeli government officials have refused to discuss the delegation's travel plans or its composition.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. expects to participate in the Cairo talks to negotiate a longer-term truce between Israel and Hamas. It's still unclear what role the U.S. would take, or when that would happen, she said, but "our effort and our engagement on this process from the beginning has been welcomed by the parties."
The United Nations will be represented in Cairo by Robert Serry, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, a spokeswoman said.
Kuperwasser, the Israeli official, told reporters earlier Tuesday that having forces loyal to Abbas deployed at the Gaza crossings would likely not be enough to allow restrictions to be eased, and that there should also be international supervision.
"Yes, they (Abbas' forces) can have a role in the crossings, but we can't say we can fully trust just Abu Mazen," he said, referring to Abbas. "It's got to be something more robust. International and Egyptian elements should be involved in it. And other means of supervision should be involved as well."
One key sticking point will be the import of construction materials, including cement and steel. Such materials will be needed in huge quantities for rebuilding Gaza, but Israel has said they were diverted in the past by Hamas for military use, such as building attack tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border.
During the last month of fighting, Israel said it destroyed 32 such tunnels.

I was thinking about trying a dual action recoil spring by Fire Dragon or the Recoil Management System by Sprinco, to reduce the felt recoil and muzzle flip on my G23. Have any of you tried them? I don't want to waste $80 dollars if you don't think it helps and is 100 % reliable. I saw them on Brownells website when I was looking at the steel guide rods.

This is Ian from Passion Pit. Greetings from Texas! Our BBQ-filled tour of the South continues.
It was unbelievably hot during the day in Houston, but even hotter onstage that night. Luckily, our amazing tour manager Andrew knows just how to take care of us and had towels dipped in ice water waiting for us once the show ended.
Read on to find out who got engaged on stage in Texas!
We are in Texas right now enjoying some delicious BBQ and hanging on by a thread in this heat! Now that we are settled into our day to day tour routine (phone interviews, soundcheck, performances, etc.) we've finally had some time to do some fun things on the road like visit family, ride bikes, go shopping and... click to keep reading!
We are a week into the tour, and so far it's been a ton of fun! Before heading out to Virginia for two shows, we went back to the west coast for a couple of days to play the KROQ Weenie Roast. All of us are from the east coast, so visiting California is always a blast. How can anyone not love 70 degree weather, the beach and endless amounts of Mexican food!?!?
Read on to see which California girl Nate is remixing a song for!
This past week we kicked off our month-long, headlining US Tour with our friends Tokyo Police Club. Before we piled into the bus, we made a quick detour to Seattle, WA where we played the Sasquatch Festival. After an early morning flight to Washington State, we arrived at the beautiful gorge of George, WA. It was more beautiful and held more people than we even remembered! (reference to "This is God's Country" photo).

Suneels Light Foundation announces dancing with the stars inspired charity event
BY: Community Papers of WNY Staff | January 17, 2013
The Suneel's Light Foundation, a local non-profit foundation with the sole mission of raising funds for research that will lead to the cure of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), while increasing public awareness of the genetic disease, is proud to announce the first ever, Suneel's Celebrity Gala. The inaugural "Dancing With the Stars" inspired event will be held from 6 p.m. until midnight on Feb. 1, at the beautifully renovated Statler City and will feature eight well-known local celebrities from across Western New York showcasing their dancing prowess. Tickets for Suneel's Celebrity Gala are $175 per person or $325 a couple and are currently on sale.
Suneel's Light Foundation has challenged eight local celebrities to learn ballroom dance from professionals of Western New York's top dance studios and to strut their best dance moves in a competition on Feb. 1. Maryalice Demler, WGRZ-TV Channel 2 anchor; Diana Fairbanks, WIVB-TV Channel 4 anchor; Donna Fernandes, president and CEO, Buffalo Zoo; Joel Giambra, former Erie County executive and managing director of Park Strategies; Dave Jickster, radio personality on 97 Rock FM; Stephanie Mateczun, Director of the Buffalo Jills and part-time host of AM Buffalo on WKBW-TV; Aaron Mentkowski, WKBW-TV Channel 7 meteorologist; and Kevin Sylvester, Buffalo Sabres' broadcaster have all accepted the challenge and are currently training as they vie for the coveted title of, "Suneel's Celebrity Gala Champion" and bragging rights around WNY.
Each celebrity is teamed up with one of the local participating dance schools, Arthur Murray, Fred Astaire, and Iacono Ballroom Center, along with a professional dancer from the school, which all have donated their services to teach their designated competitor a specific discipline of ballroom dance. Each celebrity will go through weekly dance and choreography lessons with their dancing professional. The final competition of Suneel's Celebrity Gala will be judged by a combination of audience votes, online votes, and professional judges who will adhere to international dance scoring guidelines.
In efforts to engage the community, Suneel's Light Foundation has launched a new event specific website, suneelscelebritygala.com, featuring videos of all the stars receiving dancing lesions and chronicling their progress. Visitors to the website are encouraged to vote for their favorite celebrities leading up until the night of the gala. Each vote is $1, which allows all of WNY and beyond to support their favorite celebrity, while bringing Suneel's Light Foundation one step closer to finding a cure for DMD.
The black-tie affair will not only consist of fabulous dancing and some friendly competition, but will include a gourmet sit-down dinner, top-shelf open bar and first class auction items, including unique travel destinations, exquisite jewelry and one-of-a-kind items.
In addition to the main celebrity dance competition and gala, various ballroom dance workshops will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Feb. 2 at Statler City at discounted rates for anyone who wants to take a lesson or two. The Arthur Murray, Fred Astaire, and Iacono Ballroom Center will be teaching Latin, Swing and Tango with all proceeds being donated to Suneel's Light Foundation.
