Acid Ingestion
Name: Bridget L. Status: student Grade: 4-5 Location: TX Country: N/A Date: April 2006
Hi see i was wondering if acid is added to your stomach by drinking beverages such as coke, sprite, pepsi. and lemonade? What happens to the acid? is it digested? How does it get out of your stomach and what does it do to your stomach? If you could please answer where i can understand it would be really great.
Acid is already present in very high concentrations in your stomach. It is HCl (hydrochloric acid) that is present in your stomach and helps digest food to a large extent. Hydrochloric acid is a very strong acid, much stronger than what is present in sodas and other drinks. When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water (to create carbonated water, ie soda) the carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid, which is a weak acid. The weak acids don't have the digestion power/reactivity to start breaking your food apart, so when they end up in your stomach they really don't change the environment all that much. Hydrochloric acid is actually quite corrosive and it eats the lining of your stomach consistantly! Your stomach lining is constantly being regenerated though, so you usually don't have to worry about it. When parts of your stomach lining do not get replaced, you develop a condition called an ulcer and it is painful feeling in your gut when you develop one.
You have a muscle called the cardiac sphincter that closes off your throat and esophogus from your stomach. When this muscle doesn't shut off the passage completely, your stomach acid can travel up your esophogus and cause a burning sensation, which we called heart burn. This can be soothed by eating antacids (the opposite of an acid is a base), which is simply calcium carbonate and will neutralize the acid. Stomach acid is also the culprate of the burning feeling in your mouth and throat after you vomit. You stomach acid helps in many ways and can hurt you in many other ways, as I have explained. The body keeps the amount of acid fairly consistant, though I cannot tell you the exact pathway by which this regulation occurs.
Matt Voss
The acid content in such drinks slightly elevates the already acid content of the stomach.... this can be a problem if a person is taking medications that need a certain pH enviroment....But more so if a person has gastric reflux or stomach uolcers this added acid can further cause distress.
The balance of these drinks are broken down, much of which is passed through as waste products.... In some cases the work in breaking down the drink can in fact further lead to dehydration.in the long run as opposed to refreshing some one.

bin Laden, Osama
bin Laden, Osama
biographical name(born 1957, Riyadh, Saud.Ar.) Leader of a broad-based Islamic extremist movement implicated in numerous acts of terrorism against the U.S. and other Western countries. The son of a wealthy Saudi family, he joined the Muslim resistance in Afghanistan after the 1979 Soviet invasion of that country. Following his homecoming, he became enraged at the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War (1990–91) and, through a network of like-minded Islamic militants known as al-Qaeda, launched a series of terrorist attacks. These acts included the bombings of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and the U.S. warship Cole in Aden, Yemen, in 2000. A self-styled Islamic scholar, bin Laden issued several legal opinions calling on Muslims to take up jihad (holy war) against the U.S., and in 2001 a group of militants under his direction launched the September 11 attacks, which led to the deaths of some 3,000 people. The U.S. thereafter demanded bin Laden's extradition from Afghanistan, where he was sheltered by that country's Taliban militia, and launched attacks on Taliban and al-Qaeda forces when that ultimatum was not met. With the collapse of the Taliban, bin Laden and his associates went into hiding.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Just bought 5-year townhouse, there is a vertical wall to wall joint crack, almost from floor to ceiling. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am coming up with several options? first one to use latex cauk to fill the gap. The second one is to use the joint compound to fill the crack, then embed tape to cover the crack. Please advise. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, you need to find out why the crack happened. That will dictate how to fix it. |
- Posted by sierraeast (My Page) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 16:50
Sounds like your drywall was hung vertically to have a floor to ceiling crack that long. The cause is possibly a warped stud at that seam. Take a straightedge that is long enough to cover a few stud spaces, (at least 48"), and hold it horizontally centering it over the crack in the middle and see if it rocks. That will tell whether that stud is bowed out. Cracking can occur if the stud is extremely bowed in as well but typically more predominant when bowed out. |

An online message about a group of students doing outreach in Haiti has a group of Florida parents giving thanks.
A group of 38 students were on a mission trip in Haiti when the devastating earthquake hit. Parents were worried until they received a video showing everyone was safe.
"With my daughter sitting there, it felt really good to see her smiling and waving and everybody looking like they're having fun," said Tim Grosshans. "Although, I know they're ready to come home."
The news from 900 miles away was an answer to many prayers.
"I just barely walked in the door and the phones started ringing," Carol Grosshans said.
The students are now helping the injured in the aftermath of the quake.
"We are distributing food right now as I speak to the village right near us," said Tim Detellis of the New Missions ministry on a video posted to Facebook.
The families are thankful and are now praying for their children's safe return home.
"When a mom and dad send thir children away, whether it's across the state or across the country, there's only one person who can take care of them at that point and that's Jesus," Carol Grosshans explained. "And so, he and I had a lot of conversation last night."

Says Jonathan Clark, whose wife died

THE children's shrieks of horror still echo inside his head – a harrowing reminder of February 1, 2003, the day Dr Jonathan Clark's world was blown to pieces.
It is ten years ago today that the doomed US Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on its return to Earth, killing all seven astronauts on board, including Jonathan's beloved wife Laurel.

(BPT) - When you mention PMS, heavy periods or yeast infections and your guy cringes, changes the subject or flees the room, it's not that he doesn't care. He probably just has no clue how to talk about your health problems. One survey found that 63 percent of men say it would take prolonged, severe pain to drive them to the doctor, so is it any wonder they don't know what to do or say about your discomfort? If he views your symptoms as minor, female-centric or just plan "icky," he may have an even harder time relating.
A fundamental difference in communication styles may be at least partly to blame. Ample research indicates men want actionable information; show them a problem and their natural instinct is to try to solve it. Women emphasize the sharing aspects of communication, and that approach may not always provide men with the information they feel they need in order to act. Yet your health issues are important to you, and they should be to the man in your life.
To help the man in your life better understand your health concerns, educate yourself first, and then share the information with him in clear, concise terms he'll find relatable. Here's some advice for talking to your guy about common women's health issues:
Heavy periods
First, help him understand that heavy periods are a very common problem. About 10 million women (one in every five) experience periods that require hourly changes of pads or tampons – even at night – and bleeding that continues for a week or longer or limits their daily activities. Next, hit him with this eye-opening stat: Women with heavy periods miss work 28 percent more than other women, according to the National Health Interview Survey.
While discussing how your heavy periods make you feel – frustrated, limited, tired, etc. – be sure to talk to him about possible solutions. Remember, guys want to solve problems, so be sure to discuss treatment options. Oral contraceptive and hysterectomies have traditionally been used to treat severe cases, but modern medicine offers other options. One, a non-surgical, non-hormonal treatment called NovaSure, can dramatically reduce or even eliminate menstrual bleeding for 90 percent of women, and has already helped 2 million women. Sit down with your guy and log on to ChangeTheCycle.com or Facebook.com/Changethecycle to learn more about the procedure.
Why is it PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) seems to be the health issue men are most cavalier about? Perhaps the vast amount of misinformation out there accounts for the antipathy. While almost every woman experiences some discomfort related to her menstrual cycle, PMS is more severe for some women. About 85 percent of women have at least one symptom per month, while 3 to 8 percent have a more severe form called premenstrual dysphoric disorder, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Multiple factors are thought to cause PMS, including hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, chemical changes in the brain, low vitamin and mineral levels, fluid retention and consumption of mood-altering beverages such as alcohol and caffeine, according to WomensHealth.gov. Treatment is as individual as the women who experience PMS, and may include lifestyle changes, medication and vitamin supplementation.
Yeast infections
About 75 percent of women will get a yeast infection during their lifetime, according to WomensHealth.gov. Some will suffer from recurring infections. While an untreated yeast infection isn't likely to be life-threatening, the pain, itching and discomfort can seriously impact a woman's quality of life. Open sores may become infected with other serious germs. During pregnancy and childbirth, a mother can pass the infection to her baby. What's more, a small percentage of men may be susceptible to acquiring a yeast infection if they have unprotected sex with a woman who has an untreated infection.
About 25 million Americans experience incontinence, and 9 million to 13 million of them are probably women whose symptoms are severe, according to the National Association for Continence. Incontinence can significantly impact a woman's lifestyle and mental health. It may also indicate a more serious underlying problem, so it's important to discuss incontinence with a doctor. Treatment can range from simple lifestyle changes to medications and even surgery in severe cases.
Key Takeaways
Women and men will always face different communication styles. When it comes to health issues that affect your life, though, it's important to continue working toward better understanding. Sharing solid information with the guy in your life can help him better understand your health concerns, and make him feel empowered to help you.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Burton!
Facts about Burton
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Burton's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
About 13 pounds so about 12 inches tall. Okay with kids. Good with other dogs. High energy and very smart. Loves to play with other dogs. He is quite adorable! Cuddler. Is a TV watcher too. Loves to play tug of war and fetch with a tennis ball. Loves his toys also. Knows many commands. NO NO cats or other small animals. He has a very strong hunting instinct.
Other Pets at JRT Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Burton, a Omaha Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Omaha, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Omaha.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Omaha already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Omaha breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Omaha paves the way for another one to be saved.

The darn fire ants are coming up all over my yard! I heard that you can sprinkle grits around their mounds and they will eat them and explode. Is there any other home remedy you can recommend? I don't use chemicals if I can help it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I read that grits don't work. :o( I don't know of anything that does except chemicals. |
That's weird. I just talked to someone that uses them all the time and says they work. I've heard it both ways. |
- Posted by nessz79_10a (My Page) on Tue, Mar 20, 12 at 19:21
We just use the chemicals as well. Nasty little suckers. |
- Posted by judyk_2008 9 DeLeon Sprs (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 10:18
Grits didn't work for me and the boric acid sugar traps didn't work because the racoons or possums kept stealing them. I use Safer brand diatomatious earth(it has a bait in it)on my veggie garden and Ortho in the yard where our chickens can't go. |
- Posted by chuggerguy 10A Vero Beach (My Page) on Sat, Mar 24, 12 at 1:23
This site claims grits do not work. I don't like to use pesticides either but since moving to Florida I have made an exception. I've been using Amdro Fire Ant Bait. |
I use Orange oil when they get into my garden it is especially effective when they take over a pot. Out into the yard I use amdro. Orange Oil Recipe for Fire Ants 6 oz. orange oil 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses a squeeze of liquid dish soap Add to a gallon jug and fill with water. Drench the mounds when the ants are not out foraging. Fire ants prefer mild temperatures, so in the summers they may be out early in the morning and hiding in their mounds by mid-day, and vice-versa for cold days. A gallon will thoroughly soak one mound. |
The most effective product I have found is "Over and Out" sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. The amazing thing about this stuff is that once the fire ants are gone, THEY DON'T COME BACK! How this is even possible, I don't know. But works, somehow. |
When using anything on the mound, don't forget to spread some in a circle 3 or 4 feet from the mound too. They have 'back doors' and can easily just move the mound if you don't get them all. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Sun, Mar 25, 12 at 15:48
I don't know much about ants at all. But I always thought it was not important to get them all. I thought the key was to get the queen. As long as one worker/slave/spouse brought the poison to the queen, I thought somehow the mound was destroyed. Not so, I'm guessing? Carol in Jax |
I think if you get the queen it will mess up the others. Not sure. Maybe they can hatch another queen's egg? I will try the Over and Out product. I read that it can't be used in the garden. Thanks for the info! |
Amdro - used according to directions - is the most effective fire ant killer I've ever used. The mound is usually dead within 24 hours. |
I need something that won't kill my chickens. They will eat anything. I found out we have some Over and Out in the garage. I just need that special someone to put it down in the rest of the yard. |
I moved here 3 years ago, and was determined to be organic. I didn't want my dogs running through chemicals. That didn't last long, none of the organic pesticides worked, forget about grits or coffee grounds. You'll never boil enough water to get deep enough to get them. Many nest have a number of queens, if you disturb them, they usually just move a few feet over. I've declared war, and now use both Amdro and Seven on the hills, at the same time, figuring one might hopefully work. I think my dogs are thanking me, cause they were always stepping on the mounds and I'd be picking ants out from between their toes. |

Instead of guessing, why not go to the experts? Just check the University of Florida site for tons of research on fire ants. They recommend several organic answers. Read this link and many more on the UF site for answers. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sustainable Fire Ant Management
Thanks gatormomx2. That's a great link. I found the orange oil mix with a much smaller amount than someone previously mentioned they used for their ant problem. I will have to talk to the ag agent whether or not it will hurt the chickens before I use it. It said that grits won't work because ants only eat liquids. |

City of Heroes because of the HUGE amount of customization I have when creating my characters and the continuing updates to give me even more flexibility whenever I play either with an old character or with a brand new one. Thank you NCsoft for giving us something fresh after all thee years!

I love Guild wars. It is the first real MMO I started playing, and I've been hooked ever since. No monthly fee being one of the better parts, but also the intricate skill system and the events (like wintersday) that they have really pull it through. i may have left every once in a while, but I'm always coming back.

Ooh, an Aion pack might be nice.

The diversity of choice in creating your own character in COH/COV has still to be surpassed by any mmo. After so many years it just keeps getting better. With player created content it made a leap, others mmo still have to follow.

I love CoH. I don't think there's another MMO where your character goes from zero to superhero in the same way.
Posted: Dec 22nd 2010 6:12PM Ocho said
Guild Wars, definitely. What hooked me is the storyline, missions, and the setting graphically is fantastic.

I'm new to it but I am loving Guild Wars. I play a Mesmer and enjoy that it's a different kind of class then I normally see and play. I also love the look of the GW costumes/armour, I don't think I've seen any set that I don't like!
Posted: Dec 22nd 2010 6:18PM BlindseerJB said
I would have to say it was the crazyness that is CoH. It was so different from all the other mmos I had played up until then. I loved being able to mix and match all of the powers into crazy combos.
I would like to give Guild Wars a shot though, it always looked cool.

my favorite NC soft game is Guild Wars. I love the use of instancing because it allows you to play with others when you want and play alone when you want. It also allows for a storyline.
Posted: Dec 22nd 2010 6:29PM Iorkca said
Beyond the graphical beuty, the complete difference in game play from world of warcraft was a huge seller to me. The new updates have been amazing also.

Guild Wars. I don't know how it did it, no doubt the fact that it came sans subscription fees helped, but there was just something about it that set it apart from everything else I'd played up to that point. Hell, it was the game that got me playing PvP for a while, and I almost NEVER play PvP.
Posted: Dec 22nd 2010 6:30PM Grubcat said
Guild Wars is the only online game I've played ( so far, but I'm looking forward to GW2.) I watched my son play in the beta and I was hooked and have been enjoying it for the last 5 years. My daughter plays and I got my sister to try it out this year.

Hi Marybeth,
My name is Josh Riddle. I am the new media director for the pop culture blog Acculturated. I interned for Ricochet while I was in school at Dartmouth College and have been following your writing since I came across you there. I really like this blog and I think it has similar content to Acculturated. Would you be interested in doing some cross promoting and sharing each other's posts on Facebook and Twitter?
I look forward to hearing back from you. Hope all is well.
Hi Marybeth.
Nashville artist Dee Rock (a genuine dreadlock cowboy) just released new single – Patriot Girl.
YOU were among his inspirations when he wrote it, and you're in the video!
Dee is passionate about this message, that there is NO WAR ON WOMEN, and in fact, it's the women in the grassroots that are pushing so hard to take our country back.

Thanks for all you do!
In liberty,

text: CHICOPEE The Irish Cultural Center at Elms College is accepting registrations for its 11th annual Celtic Adventures for Kids, July 25 to 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Children from grades 1 to 9 take part in several classes daily: the Maguire Center swimming pool is also available for daily use. Coordinated by Mary Ellen O'Brien the classes include Irish dancing, music, including singing Irish tunes, playing the tin whistle and the bodhran, Irish language, storytelling/literature, and arts and crafts. One of the founders of the center, Tom Moriarty said, "This program is a unique contribution in 'keeping the Irish arts alive.' We introduce children to the Irish language, culture and heritage." Cost is $200 per child; $20 discount for Irish Culture Center members; $20 discount for each additional child from the same family; $50 non-refundable deposit with registration is due June 13; balance is due by July 11. E-mail email@example.com, call 265-2537 for further information and/or a registration or visit www.irish-cairde.org. On one day each year visiting musicians demonstrate for the children the various instruments and types of jigs and reels. For several years also Mike Carney has taught a session on Irish football, and last year Tom Feeley spent a day teaching Irish road bowling to the campers. Some experienced senior campers will return to volunteer to assist the staff with the younger children. The culmination of the week will be a celebration of what they have learned on July 29 at 2 p.m. in the Dooley Center where proud parents, grandparents and siblings will gather to see a program showcasing what they have learned during the week. In 2000 Sister Kathleen Keating, president of the Elms College at the time and another one of the founders of the Irish Culture Center dreamed a dream a dream of young people learning about Irish culture and heritage through a fun program. Sister Kathleen Kirley, Paula Dugan and Mary Ellen O'Brien worked together to make her dream a reality. Thus, in 2001 the week-long program called Celtic Adventures for Kids was born. Over the years, hundreds of children have been immersed in Irish language, dance and culture for the week, often learning about what was dear to parents and/or grandparents. |

I don't want anyone to hear the diagnosis I heard when I was 18: You have a life-threatening melanoma and we will have to operate to remove it along with the lymph nodes in your thigh."
According to Michael Atkins, MD, director of biologic and cutaneous oncology at Boston's Deaconess-Beth Israel Hospital, there is a lot of misinformation about tanning and melanoma. "Let's dispel the myth that tanning is safe," says Atkins "Recently, the World Health Organization classified ultraviolet radiation as a Class 1 cancer-causing agent, in the same category as tobacco. Tanning beds put out three to six times the amount of radiation given off by the sun." Atkins sits on the foundation's Medical Advisory Board.
The foundation's executive director, Deb Girard says, "We have a pledge program and a contest with great prizes to help spread the word, including airline tickets, cash awards, gift certificates, a pizza party for 50, tickets to Six Flags New England and more.
"During the long winter months, young people are using tanning beds in record numbers. Don't be fooled; the ultraviolet rays from tanning are stronger than the sun, and we now have data that says they cause skin cancer and melanoma."
During the next few months, the foundation will be sending melanoma survivors to speak at schools throughout New England to draw attention to Your Skin Is In. They will tell their stories, urge teens to forget about tanning, and get students to join the No-tanning Pledge program and enter the contest.

Survey Reveals More Than Half Kindle Fire Owners Will Buy an iPad 3
TechBargains has released its iPad 3 survey results, revealing that a surprising 48% of those surveyed will buy an iPad 3. Of the respondents, 58% want to upgrade their current tablet and 74% concede that no tablet compares to an iPad. The anticipated high price tag of Apple's next iPad is the main reason 16% of shoppers will not buy the iPad 3 and why 35% remain undecided. The survey also found that more than half of owners of the recently released Kindle Fire will buy an iPad 3.
"When it comes to tablets, Apple's iPad will continue to remain the leader," said Yung Trang, President and Editor in Chief of TechBargains. "But what's very interesting is that Kindle Fire was released just three months ago and yet more than half of Fire owners already know that they will, in fact, buy the iPad 3. This could be a commentary on consumer dissatisfaction with Amazon's product or simply a message that the iPad's user experience remains unparalleled."
Kindle Fire vs. iPad 3
With the recent release of Amazon's Kindle Fire, a surprising 53% will buy the iPad 3 (6% will wait in line on the release date, 17% will buy online on the release date, and 30% will wait and buy the iPad, but with no set time frame). The survey indicated that 85% of those Kindle Fire owners who will buy the iPad 3 want to upgrade their current tablet and 73% say no tablet compares to an iPad. Additionally, 31% of Kindle Fire owners are undecided about their plans to purchase an iPad 3 and 16% do not plan to buy the iPad 3 (of those respondents, 78% won't buy an iPad 3 already own a tablet and 71% say iPads are too expensive).
iPad & iPad 2 vs. iPad 3
Of the survey respondents 66% of iPad owners and 56% of iPad 2 owners plan to purchase the iPad 3 which indicates consumer's strong Apple loyalty and the eagerness to have the latest products available. Additional survey results indicate:
iPad Owners
- 35% are undecided if they will purchase the iPad 3
- 8% will not purchase the iPad 3 (of those 91% already own a tablet and 72% believe it's too expensive)
iPad Owners iPad 3 Wish List:
- 85% want a quad core processor in the iPad 3
- 80% memory card slot
- 80% USB port
- 76% want a better speaker
iPad 2 Owners
- 32% undecided if they will purchase the iPad 3
- 13% will not purchase the iPad 3 (of those 94% already own a tablet, 65% say iPad is too expensive)
iPad 2 Owners iPad 3 Wish List:
- 83% want a better speaker in the iPad 3
- 83% quad core processor
- 79% memory card slot
- 77% USB port
Who is Buying the iPad 3?
The survey revealed that men (51%) are more likely than women (35%) to purchase the iPad 3. The main reason men and women were either undecided or were not going to purchase an iPad 3 was because they felt it was too expensive. On the other hand, the main reason men and women will purchase an iPad 3 is because they believe no other tablets compare to iPad. Additionally, the survey found that respondents ages 31-50 are most likely to buy an iPad 3.
Consumers' iPad 3 Wish List
The survey included questions regarding what features consumers predict will be included in the iPad 3 and additions they wish Apple would make. The majority of people (67%) believe the iPad 3 will have an upgraded camera to record video in 10-80p and 8MP for high resolution photos. 92% of respondents predict the iPad 3 display will have an increased pixel resolution than the 1024 by 768 of the iPad 2, but people were split on what the new resolution will be. The display size and price of the iPad 3 will remain the same as its predecessor according to the majority of shoppers. Consumers also shared a wish list of features they would like to see included in the iPad 3. The results include the percent of people who want the following features:
- Quad Core Processor: 85%
- Better Speaker: 82%
- USB for iPad: 82%
- Memory Card Slot: 81%
- Less Reflective Screen: 72%
- Siri: 65%
- Support for Thunderbolt (42%) and Multiple User (51%) accounts ranked low on wish list
"It's clear from the wish list results that consumers don't want the iPad 3 to be a slight improvement over the iPad 2; they're looking for a significant leap in tablet functionality and specs from Apple's newest device. That means addressing some elements that left users underwhelmed, like wanting a faster processor or a less reflective screen," said Jeff Haynes. "The storage features from the wish list probably won't be included, but those stats speak to the consumer's desire for Apple to increase its storage options away from iCloud, especially if it wants memory intensive apps or initiatives, like the new textbooks through iBooks, to really take off."

Baby Boom
Behind The Scenes
An unexpected delivery!
Go behind the scenes and learn what went on during the making of the 1987
Romantic Comedy
movie starring Diane Keaton, Sam Shepard,
James Spader
et al.
Contributed by: Sarah Fox
My Dad lives in Peru Vermont and his wife was the on set medical aid for all the actors' needs.
Turns out Diane Keaton wasn't so maternal in those days and would do things like leave the baby on the bed and then walk away in scenes, and had to be reminded that she could roll off!
So many of our friends had extras parts on the movie, Nancy Kirkpatrick who owned the Hapgood store was featured selling over the counter. The Cow that Diane milks in the movie was our own family pet, Appleblossom, who got paid in bales of hay for her cameo role.
Whenever I get homesick I just play the movie and it feels like I am there. It really captures the essence of rural vermont. even the quirky townsfolk like the plumber guy are so true of our little town.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rain!
Facts about Rain
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Rain's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
* ARRIVING 01 JUNE 2013! * Rain is believed to be a German Shepherd mix, and she is 3 months old. Her sister, Raven, is also available and will be arriving on 01 June 2013 too.
Other Pets at Because Of Mandy Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rain, a Hancock German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Hancock, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Hancock.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hancock already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hancock breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hancock paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yuma ditches plans for 100-couple wedding
YUMA, Ariz. -- Plans for the extra big day just couldn't get off the ground.
Organizers who had hoped to have 100 couples marry at a ceremony in Yuma next month have called off the event because they weren't able to get enough couples to commit to the party to make it financially feasible.
Organizer Perla Wicks told the Yuma Sun that she had hoped for 100 couples to pay $300 per pair to get married on Dec. 12 -- or 12/12/12 -- in the Historic Yuma Theatre -- at noon, of course -- on this numerically auspicious day.
Organizers needed commitments from 51 couples to break even.
Wicks said she will refund the money that an undisclosed number of people put down money for the event.

While a fair bit of time as well as study enters choosing stocks, it is usually difficult to understand when to take out specifically for initial time financiers. Fortunately is that if you have actually selected your stocks very carefully, you gained t have to take out for a long time, such as when you prepare to retire. There are certain circumstances when you will certainly require to offer your stocks just before you have actually reached your monetary objectives.
You might assume that the moment to market is when the stock worth will go down and also you could also be encouraged by your broker to do this. This isn t always the ideal training course of activity.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "A Place of Wholeness," a Tapestry of Faith program
Congregants share some of their faith journey with youth.
Invite participants to interview members of the church about their faith journey. If you have not already distributed Handouts 1, 2 and 3 in previous activities do so now. Tell participants that these handouts will give them some inspiration for crafting good interview questions. Give them a few minutes to review the handouts and think of questions. Brainstorm questions for ten minutes. Then ask each participant to pick one or two questions they would like to ask. Make sure to mark the questions that have been selected so that the same question is not used twice.
Invite the church members into the room. Introduce them to the participants and let them talk for a few minutes each about their faith journey. They can answer the two questions posed ahead of time or share in another way. Then invite participants to ask their questions.
After participants have asked their questions, let the church members ask some questions as well. Thank your guests for their time.
Variation: If you have a larger group and one hour for this activity, consider breaking the group up so that two to five participants are with each church member. Make sure that all questions are assigned to someone in each group. Ask one participant to act as a recorder. When the interviews are done, bring everybody back together and have each small group share what they heard about the church member and their faith journey.

Spring Wedding Ideas
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013Spring is all about renewal, the world starts coming alive after months of barren trees, ice and snow. It's about starting over again. Weather in the spring isn't as constant as the summer months but the transition from winter to spring is always a bit tumultuous as the sun melts snow and the streams run deep again.
Springtime is also one of the ideal times to get married. Winter can give you a chance to do the bulk of the heavy wedding planning. Then as the flowers start to bloom, and the birds start chirping again, love and weddings fill the air! A marriage in the spring is the perfect way for two people to start their lives together.
Wedding colors in the spring usually consists of pastels ranging from light cherry blossom pinks to lavender shades of purple. Spring is about romance and that's the best theme for a spring wedding for sure. But let's take a look at other ideas that make a great springtime wedding.
Garden Wedding
Another romantic spring wedding idea is a garden wedding theme. Garden weddings should be held in the later months of spring when the weather is less likely to bring rain to ruin the wedding day. The wonderful things about a garden wedding theme are the props you can use to decorate the space and the flowers. Gardens in general have flowers so go for different arrangements to mix and match it up when creating your centerpieces. Also try benches for guests to sit on at the ceremony or for the reception lounge. Find a garden space for the ceremony and reception to do less work in decorating. Use what nature already has created for you. There are many ideas you can use for a garden wedding to make your wedding unique!
Speaking of delicate, romantic and spring, why not butterflies? Now don't think your whole wedding has to bombarded with butterfly designs but a few elements about butterflies could really work wonders. If you already love butterflies, this is the theme for you. If you like them but aren't sure how to incorporate them without looking cheesy think about the butterfly and do your research about them. Study the different colors on their wings and the patterns that catch your eye. Take a look at the different types of butterflies and which one stands out to you. Use these elements on your invitations and even for the cake decorations. If you are having a wedding reception in an outdoor tent, hang a butterfly chandelier creation. This wedding theme will have everyone's hearts aflutter.
Whimsical Fun
A fun spring wedding idea is to add whimsical elements. Go for bold colors instead of pastels. Try a lush bouquet of pinks and greens and turquoise for something different. Play with linens with patterns or elaborate inlays. Whimsy means having an element of the unusual in the design of the wedding, something out of the box that will make your guests smile and look around in wonder.
What can be sweeter than two lovebirds getting married? Well, a wedding theme based on the lovely flying creatures. Birds can be cute but they can also be as wild as nature, like the raven. There are different ways to incorporate birds into the wedding design. For a vintage look use bird cages in the décor, whether on the tabletops or hanging overhead. Birdcage veils add drama, glamour and some mystery to a bride's ensemble. Also use feathers and branches, which are items related to birds if you don't want to use the look of an actual bird. Birdseed can be use for tossing after the ceremony has ended and the married couple leaves the altar. There are so many ideas with this theme it's hard to go wrong. This theme is wonderful for a spring wedding!
Paris in the Spring
There is nothing more romantic than Paris. Paris and it's beautiful bridges, language, buildings, food, people and just the perfect way the sunlight streams into the city is all about romance. Paris in the spring is something special. This wedding theme works in every way from a romantic ball gown, delicate macarons for a dessert table and a gorgeous color palette to work with. Don't be afraid to throw in an Eiffel Tower decoration into the wedding design also.
Marie Antoinette Themed Soiree
To continue in the French theme, another wedding theme that works well with the pastel spring color palette is one inspired by Marie Antoinette. The palace of Versailles is stunning and opulent in all its glory with outlandish manicured gardens, elaborate water fountains and painted ceilings. They even have the infamous hall of mirrors, which King Louis XIV used just to admire himself. Extravagant? Quite.
This theme is uber-feminine in color and swaths of fabric. Try mini chandeliers to light an outdoor tent reception or crystals dripping from tall centerpieces lush with an abundance of flowers. Use colors like pink, lavender, cream, light-blues and especially gold. "Let them eat cake" at a dessert table filled with cupcakes, cakes and a tower of macarons. Think extravagance from choosing the wedding dress down to picking the table napkin and you are sure to have a stunner with this wedding theme idea!

He's Ben Cohen. He was a rugby player in the UK and is now a gay rights advocate, because his brother is gay. I think he has a thread in the male celebs forum.

Nice bridge pose. Wonder if the wheel pose is in his bag of tricks. There was a pic somewhere on JUB with a naked guy doing wheel. Can't find it now.
If anyone feels the need t randomly send me pics of themselves in various states of undress; cock, feet, ass, mouth, face, legs..., hit me up on Kik with your phone/tablet! Built4need.
great pics!

is it just me, or are more younger guys uncut now than say, 15 or so years ago?
OMG!!!! I'm in love!
This guy looks like an ugly muppet version of Jake Gyllenhaal.
I think he's cute... just a funny look on his face.I bet I could make him smile...

Great cock and abs !
Why do i tortutre myself and keep coming to this thread it just keeps reminding me how single i am and how ill never get a guy like in these pics but im bringin everyone down. Back to the thread and the hot pics.
Judging by his blog he is seriously fucked up and, altho he stresses he is straight, has a compulsion to show guys his cock
[QUOTE=LeicsDom;8811786]Until you pointed it out, I'd never cared to actually read his description. I just like looking at his pics. I do feel kinda sorry for the guy.
As for him being straight, there really is no legitimate reason to believe he isn't. It's not unheard of for straight guys to enjoy attention from gays.
These are so hot
Wish I were back in college.

This picture makes me think "young, dumb and full of cum", in a loving way
