Universities in Africa
Université Catholique d'Afrique Centrale
The Catholic University of Central Africa (Université Catholique de l'Afrique Centrale) (CUAC) is a private Roman Catholic university in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
The Catholic University of Central Africa was founded in 1989 by the Association of the Episcopal Conference of the Central African Region. It opened in 1991 with 111 students. The university has three campuses around Yaoundé, two in the center of town with the main campus outside of the city.
The Catholic University of Central Africa (CUCA) is a multicultural university with almost one third of its students and researchers from abroad. CUCA turns "international" into a daily reality, the setting for life and work on campus, just like Yaoundé itself on of the world's most cosmopolitan cities.
This inter-cultural approach started with Central Africa in the middle of the 20th century, and today involves every continent. The University has 30% Africans and 10% from the rest of the world in its student body.
Promoted the academic programs built around LMD System and the various European mobility programs, cooperation with both countries in European Union and other Emergent countries which always existed in research, is now undergoing a true boom. Beyond the many student exchanges (Erasmus in Europe, bilateral agreements elsewhere in the world), CUCA is setting up an increasing number of truly integrated courses with international partners, going as far as jointly granting Masters and Doctoral degrees. Some of these courses have been awarded the prestigious Excellency Awards of Cameroonian Head of State per the Ministry of Higher Education.
The Catholic University of Central Africa has six faculties:
Faculty of Theology
Faculty of Philosophy
Faculty of Social Sciences and Management
The Canon Law Department
Center of Health Sciences
L'Institut Supérieur de Technologie d'Afrique Centrale (IST-AC)

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
sweetooth Posts: 23How do i find the invoice on a car? When members of the forum say 1000 below invoice, do you mean 1000 below the edmunds.com shown invoice?
My car salesman told me that if i want to find real invoice on the car, i should just subtract 700 from his offer.....
any help in understanding these offers and the whole holdback/advertising fee ( should i subtract it from the invoice shown on edmunds to get to real invoice)concept will be very much appreciated :sick: tired and sick of dealing with dealers... -
sactown Posts: 5Just purchased an '08 Accord EX-L V6 w/o navi sedan from AutoWest in Roseville, CA.
Price = 25,300 + TTL
I went through their internet sales department and priced it against several other local dealers. AutoWest came back with the best deal. There seems to be a lot of Silver color models left in the area so you can probable get a great deal.
I even got a nice finance deal of 0.9% financing for 36 months.
Good luck. -

louking Posts: 28I'm looking to buy the 2009 EXL 4cyl AT. The only prices I have gotten are from local dealers reponding to my "Edmunds Requests a Qoute". The dealer claims the price $100 over invoice & detination, ie. . Here is a direct qoute from the email they sent:
"My lowest price on the 2009 EXL is invoice $24,569 + $149 doc fee. If anybody tells you they can sell it for lower than that they are not being truthful."
Can I buy the car for less ?

thanks in advance! -
happy_accord Posts: 2this included the decklid spoiler. TTL was $27,774. I found that same car w/o navi could be had MUCH cheaper...dealers are loaded with them. There aren't too many with Nav though so I was happy with my price. Edmunds and others list invoice within $100 of 26,100.. They delivered the car to my home wiht all paperwork ready. It took less than 1 hour. I love my Bluetooth and Navi!!!
miketxny Posts: 1I just picked up a new 09 LX-S (4-cyl) for $21930.12 plus $299.00 for the paint/fabric protection. I think that's a good deal considering the sticker price is $23,725. They didn't charge at all for the "protection package" (trunk liner, splash guards, door guards). I don't think they are making a ton off the financing, either, because I got 8.6% through Honda with so-so credit. I did see the invoice for the car, and it was about $200 more than what I paid. You never know with car dealers, but I think I got a good deal.
accord_search Posts: 3Hello,
I have tried to get my car (Accord'07) repaired 3 times for the same problem (rattling noises) but without any success. I bought the car in New Jersey. Can anyone suggest or share experience regarding which arbiteration process is the most helpful one? There are number of arbiteration processes:- NJ State aribiteration process, BBB process, NADA, or a law suit in a court.
Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks, -
wgorilla Posts: 20Price $27,000 (Includes the wheel locks, mud flaps, trunk tray, pin stripes and destination)
Sales Tax $949.06 (6.25% in Texas, we had $12,000 trade)
Dealer Inventory Tax $46.36
Inspection and Title Fee $54.75
License Fee $72.30
Documentary Fee $50.00
Deputy Service Fee $5.00 (didn't think to ask what the heck this is)
Tint was extra $185. We also added $125 value care plan which gets us four oil changes (1 every 5,000 mi) and two tire rotations. We were able to get 2.9% on 48 months after initially being pitched 5.2%. Finance mgr looked at me like I was out of my mind when I said 2.9 was what we were looking for. I was counting on their sales being slow and our credit. Anyway, he left and came back after a few minutes (and after we almost left) with the 2.9. I feel really good about getting this on an '09. I figure we'll save over $800 for the life of the loan.
I know we could have done much better with an '08, but it's my wife's car and she wanted an '09. And like the salesman kept saying, "she's the boss!". -
dj9 Posts: 5Hoping the experienced buyers who know their numbers can help me out. I'm specifically looking for a Honda Accord LX either 2008 or 2009 with polished metal metallic as the color (dark grey) and black cloth seats for the interior. One dealership in Los Angeles gave me an internet price of $19507 (this includes the destination charge, but not the tax, license, etc fees) and said he can have my color combo here in about a day (he said there are only 4 of these in my color scheme in CA). He would also beat the loJack discount price that I was quoted through the AAA rep.
My other quote was through the AAA referral program and that is for a 2009 Honda Accord LX, invoice total listed as $20,418.36 then she added $500 (I guess this is the price over "invoice") and with tax, license, etc fees the grand total comes to $22,951.02.
Do these two prices seem reasonable? I don't know how much $ is reasonable over invoice for their commission. Any help would be great! Thanks! -

wgorilla Posts: 20Bankston Honda in Lewisville. Our salesman was Dennys (a guy, and yes, it is with a "y", not an "i", and is pronounced like "Dennis"). We didn't negotiate with him, but rather through him, as he was a messenger running the offers and counter offers back and forth. I actually liked doing it that way because it was low pressure not having someone stare you in the face to see if you'll bite. I don't know if they always do business that way, but we never saw who he was running the numbers to. I'd highly recommend him. He was very accommodating while we took our time looking at several cars and was very polite...not flippant, condescending or impatient at all. They still have some '08's if you want to try to get the 1.9% and better price.
We negotiated the price and trade at the same time, but the trade was agreed on quickly. We looked up the trade by condition/mileage on kelly blue book. They were $500 off what we told ourselves we should get and came up to that on our first counteroffer, no problems.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience until we got to the finance guy. He tried to rush us through it by pushing the documents in our face too quickly for signatures and got real short and testy ("I guess you don't want the car", etc.) when we were like "whoa whoa...wait...not at that interest rate". I don't know if 2.9% on an '09 through AHF is all that common yet so early in the model year, but that is what we got after we threatened deal's off/we're leaving. -
tiffanyrse Posts: 2Please help, I have email several dealer in Houston area but the lowest I could get was 27,000 + TT&L. And I saw some one posted that he/she got I4 EXL for $23,000 + TT&L, so the price for V6 should be 25,000 + TT&L?? I understand that there's different in price if you in a diff. maket area but is it really that much diff?
Any help on how to get my 2009 Accord EXL V6 for the lowest possible price is much appricated.. thank you.. thank you very much

sprmario Posts: 15been working on trying to negotiate via the internet. I have been pretty frustrated by clearly form responses that always end in "when can you come in?" The form responses seem to have almost nothing to do with whatever I say in my email.
i can only say that it is similar to trying to negotiate with a magic 8 ball.
Me: I'd like to offer $25,200 on XXXX car.
Response: It is decidedly so. When can you come in?
Me: I'd like to get a quote from you on XXXX car. My best offer is $yy,yyy.
Response: Most likely. When can you come in?
Me: I am serious, i am looking to purchase as soon as i come to an agreement on price. Can you beat $yy,yyy? If you can do $ww,www we have a deal.
Response: Signs point to yes. When can you come in?

NameJet Launches, Collaboration Between eNom, Network Solutions
SnapNames competitor launches, backed by Network Solutions and eNom.
We first learned about Network Solutions' planned domain name aftermarket site thanks to a trademark filing picked up by Trademork. The site is now live, and the story is bigger than anyone thought.
Network Solutions has teamed up with eNom to launch NameJet. NameJet is an expired domain marketplace based on eNom's technology but populated with premium expiring domains from Network Solutions. As I mentioned in my previous post, this is bad news for SnapNames. SnapNames had an exclusive contract to sell Network Solutions' expiring domains. As the oldest legacy registrar, Network Solutions has some of the best domains available. By starting a rival service, Network Solutions won't pay commissions to SnapNames.
In retrospect, the fact that eNom is involved is no surprise. As I pointed in the previous article about the trademark, the NameJet.com domain was registered at eNom and uses eNom's privacy services.
Other expired domain markets have come and gone. SnapNames was able to excel by signing exclusive contracts with Network Solutions, Register.com, and other registrars for their expiring domains. This hurt competitors, such as Pool.com. Others threw in the towel. Dotster handed over its expired domain business to SnapNames, as did eNom at one point.
It may take a short time for NameJet to get the traction and high bids that SnapNames achieves, but it won't be along.

I just checked it out. Incredible. This should become the leading secondary market. No one can slow these guys down.
Hi Andrew, you were so spot on in breaking this news just 2 days ago before they launched NameJet…well done! It so happens that I own ExpiringDomainAuction.com and ExpiringDomainAuctions.com, which I registered for the same purposes a month ago. I now want to see if Namejet would be interested in a co-brand
or afilliate linkin for this domain, as I'm sure this is what people will be searching for. The keywords expiring domain auction is all over their site! What do you think?Cheers!
Robert -
Auctions for domain names are getting tiresome because only the richest domain speculators can play.
Mere mortals don't have equal access to domain names when they're traded for several thousands of dollars (in online auctions).
Services like SnapNames and NameJet shouldn't exist as ICANN should've stepped in to regulate the auction of "soon to be available" domain names downright illegal.
The ICANN, because it -should- make the domain name availability as democratic as possible, shouldn't tolerate such blatant "for profit" outfits, especially in the ".org" namespace.
well, then, how about a lottery for the domains? interested parties register for the domain of interest, a winner is randomly selected and pays a nominal fee for the domain. voila, we can now all have a chance to own a great domain, not just those with corporate daddies. i agree with Claude, this has become the province of the ultra rich. i am sick and tired of watching snap name auctions go hopelessly beyond any reasonable reach. i don't bother anymore.
For the past 8 years Network Solutions allowed me to renew my domain name. This year, 2008… they refused to renew claiming I didnt have access to the account. They continued to refuse until my domain name was sold for a hefty profit at NameJet. If you call Network Solutions they deny that they have a financial interest in NameJet… yet they filed a federal trademark on NameJet!
At first it was a phone rep, then his supervisor, then the manager… All they would say is that NameJet is not associated with them in any way, and that I was wrong. After I e-mail them the trademark Network filed in 2007, they stated their legal/investigative unit will call me on Monday.
So here is Network Solutions new business strategy… Make all good domain names very difficult to renew for current customers so they default into their new 'auction company' where they can make a large profit. I have never had so much trouble trying to give money to a company… but then again, why take my money when they can take a lot more from somone else?

But for now, there's three I would like to cover that happen to be the cornerstone of why science fiction and high fantasy have a hard time breaking into the mainstream. Freud's analysis of your mother issues will have to wait for another day.
1. The Problem of Presumption
So, we've all been there at one time or another, you hear that a story is within a certain genre and the first thought in your head is "dear god, no". A typical guy hears "it's a romance story" and starts to internally groan, hoping to keep it bottled enough that he doesn't piss off the women in the room who happen to like it. Fortunately, not all women like romance stories and thus not all of them punish us on a daily basis, else the race of man should fall.Still, it's a problem that means good things for some genres and bad things for others. If you happen to fall into certain genres, such as adventure, you tend to know that you'll at least hit a demographic of anyone with a sufficient amount of testosterone (btw, for those of you out there that aren't aware, that does include women too, just to a lesser extent). Romance and you'll get the other end of the scale while scaring off the first group. But where exactly do the genres I speak of happen to fall as far as that goes? Well....
...distinguished, well educated gentlemen with ample understanding of the essential infrastructure of modern society, of course.
Okay, fine, nerds. It lures in nerds! But why is that? Obviously, I've covered some of these reasons already. You've got the male fantasy issue combined with the cliche plot devices and you find yourself a nice box that you've stuck yourself in. Unfortunately, that box is hard to understand, a little abstract and may or may not have a cat in it. And if you understood that joke, you fall right into the target audience, so you know what I mean.
Unfortunately this means that we've created an assumed outcome in the minds of the general populace. If you tell anyone what the genre is, like any other genre, they've got an idea of whether they like it or not before even seeing the story. While this does happen to fall under the concept of "jaded" or "cynical" that I'm trying to fight, it's really more a nature of assumption. A jaded person would read the story and then decide they hated it for the reasons of just not buying the premise, a person with a prejudice wont even get that far.
So that means we're constantly in a battle between what we want people to think of when we say "science fiction" or "high fantasy"...
And what they actually think of...
And, unfortunately, it's hard to win the message war when no one's reading your message (then again, no one's likely reading this either). So we're stuck with an outcome that requires us to step around the problem rather than deal with it head on. Which leads us to something we have to deal with in order to "step around the problem"
2. Study Hall is never popular
One of the presumption about science fiction and high fantasy is that you have to understand either science or mythology to really grasp the plots. And, sadly, most of us just simply don't have that kind of education or intuitive grasp of these concepts. So, for starters, we need to make sure that we try to tone down the importance of understanding all of the details in order to get anything from the plot. Problem is, rarely does this actually happen and people end up having to figure out some details for themselves.This leaves the reader feeling punished for not understanding. People read to relax and enjoy themselves, not be tested on their knowledge of relatively elite subjects. But they still end up getting tested on it, leaving them feeling either inadequate, frustrated or childish as they try to dig up the answers that they should have either had or not needed to be able to grasp the plot.
This is the flaw of what has come to be known as "hard science fiction" over the years. Back in the day, all science fiction and fantasy were primarily pulled from the rear of the person writing it. Tolkien created his entire world primarily from a background in linguistics and a familiarity with mythology that he promptly warped into six foot tall androgynous elf warriors. Meanwhile, it's long been known that Star Trek, the nerd nirvana, had long been written with placeholder words in the scripts for science consultants to later fill in with techno-babble. In essence, the writers made completely implausible bullshit plots and the scientists stepped in and made it seem presentable.
"Soft" science fiction and less traditional fantasy have the advantage of being accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, with that much hand waving and a lack of care for the finer details, most writers in these less demanding genres tend to not think their plot through with as much care and detail as their harder nosed brethren. The result? Hard science fiction is over-conceptualized, soft science fiction is half baked and the same goes for just about any high fantasy story in relation to how much mythology they pump into their works.
The answer to this is to reach a balancing act. A writer needs to think scientifically themselves but not require their reader to do the same. They need to make the plot as well thought out and defined as possible without pressuring the people who are trying to relax. This is not easy, especially since there's a third problem that looms behind the whole "believable plot" problem.
3. Suspension of belief
One of the other draw backs of the hard science fiction angle is that you tend to find yourself in a place where you've made your world too real. This isn't a bad thing in one sense, but it's a disaster in other senses.Your reader doesn't live in the world you've constructed, the world you've constructed is a complete work of fiction, but you've placed enough rules on it that it might as well be a real world. What ends up happening? You end up breaking your own rules, throwing in a few Deus Ex Machina solutions and resurrecting your white wizard, Jesus allegory lion or Spock from their untimely death.
While it's natural in every person to want to play god to some extent along the way, you can't really afford to do it at a certain point. The more involved you get your readers into the work, your world and the characters, the less you can afford to screw with that world you've created.
Unfortunately, not many writers stop to consider this. So, in the end, you find yourself meeting with a problem of people saying that it simply isn't believable to them. This, once again, isn't a matter of the audience becoming cynical, but the writers failing to realize the limits of their ability to bend reality without breaking it.
So what conclusions do we reach? Well, we need to trick people into reading these genres again by presenting them as something that they haven't seen before and not hurting their brains in the process. This doesn't mean step back from the issues, but rather presenting stories that defy easy classification. This could mean paranormal romance, urban science fiction and fantasy or so on. But the same notion can also be applied to ideas that push so far past science fiction and high fantasy that the line between the two starts to blur. Blur the line, defy the genres and you may soon join Schrodinger's cat in that sweet spot of quantum immortality
...or...find a lot of drugs.
As for my attempts at twisting and bending genres, check out my books. They're a touch of sci-fi, spoonful of fantasy, dash of mystery and a pinch of smartass..

Measures have been taken to rehabilitate over 10,000 ex-LTTE cadres, in the North by the government, according to Commissioner General of Rehabilitation Maj. Gen. Daya Ratnayake.
Maj. Gen. Daya Ratnayake, who is now saddled with preparing a well detailed program, has told the Sunday Observer during an interview that President Mahinda Rajapaksa is very keen to help these ex-cadres who were misled by the LTTE. "The process to classify the ex-cadres into different groups considering their age, gender and involvement in the outfit has already been completed and the ground work to move them into new rehabilitation centres is nearing completion" he was quoted further saying.
According to Maj. Gen. Ratnayake, over 80 percent of these ex-cadres are now temporarily sheltered in government schools.
"We want to hand over these government schools and five new centres are under construction at the moment. They will be moved to the new centres before the end of this month", he said.
He said that the basic facilities required would be provided to the ex-cadres and training will commence according to their skills. The children between the ages of 12 to 18 years have already been separated from the group. There are over 455 children, the majority of whom the LTTE had forcefully recruited at its last stage of the battle. The youngest is 12 years-old. Former female LTTEers numbering 1,700 have also been separated and housed separately. The authorities have taken steps to separate male ex-LTTE cadres over 45 years of age and they will be given training according to their professions, skills, and their liking to undergo a vocational training.
Maj. Gen. Ratnayake said that donor assistance for the rehabilitation process is vital and needs the support of local and international NGOs, the experts in related fields and the community leaders to make the rehabilitation program a success.

Background box around selected icons makes it hard to drag and place
First post! I am using 2 PCs right now, xp and win7, and can't believe that my Win7 machine won't let me drag/move my icons (desktop and windows explorer) around without having a blue box around them, which makes it VERY difficult to figure out where they are going to land in the folders. On the desktop, whichever icon I have selected also gets the blue box around it, but the placement drops right where I want it to. But in folders, where the icons seem to be more 3D, I can't get them to drop where I have them placed, almost like they are falling from a different aerial view. I did find a way to get rid of all this, by unchecking "use visual styles of windows" (last item in list)...but that has huge issue by making EVERYTHING look horrible on the system, heh. Is there any way to only get rid of this selected icon blue box in windows explorer so I can drag and place icons easier within folders (another pet peeve...I had to force windows 7 to let me NOT auto-arrange files in folders). Thanks for any help! |

In the first image I am dragging the file to another location within the same folder. Notice the blue box around the folder I have selected? This doesn't happen to me in WinXP. In the second image I am trying to place the folder back down in the right spot, but it's a very hard task since, unlike when you drop an icon on the desktop, in the folders it doesn't drop where you think it will. Edit: I really hate auto-arrange, and want to be able to drag and drop icons easier as I can with WinXP. Please tell me I can fix this without unchecking "use visual styles of windows" in performance controls and losing ALL visual awesomeness? |

I messed the second screeny up, here's a better view, showing the folder down below, and me trying to place it back up top, but because of the blue box around the folder, it takes a few placements to get it right as it doesn't just drop right where it shows. I don't know if this is because, by default, Windows 7 doesn't accept user arrangement of files without a registry edit?

By editing a image in the aero.msstyle I was able to remove the blue box.
I can change that for you, using Windows Style Builder and post it here in a zip folder. & This will be a custom theme and you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

Thanks for the theme Jerry. It's an improvement, but the selected icon/folder still has the box around it accept with what you changed in that the box now disappears only while dragging the icon around. The box comes back once the item is dropped and it my main target with the mouse.
The main issue is that icon/folder is still hard to place where I want...I just noticed that the icon/folder gets bigger when you pic it up to drag it...which is mainly what makes it awkward to place back down in the correct spot. This doesn't happen as I drag folders in winXP. I love Windows 7 but this is frustrating, lol! Edit: I found a thread which I think it related? Disable Large Icon when Drag/Drop Files to New Location It mentions what I have discovered...moving desktop items doesn't cause an issue (I still get the blue border around the selected item, but it doesn't get bigger and can be placed down with precision), only in folders. I think it's an aero issue that can't be resolved unless I use classic mode. That sucks. |

My husband proposed Feb 18th, 2007. August 23, 2009 we became one. Mr. and Mrs.
I want to share with you some very special pictures. Glad we spent tons on Photographer, because really they captures my favorites.
We decided to have a very, very small wedding. We are not big fancy people, but wanted something that reflected who we are, and what we want to become as a couple. Our marriage ceremony was outside ( yup it rained later) in a beautiful gardened called Yaddo's. We didn't need fancy flowers because the gardens were full of roses. Its a cute little place and I suggest that you check it out. It really is a great place and we can't wait to go back every year to celebrate our marriage. OH did I tell you the guest list was small? Yup less than 30 people. WE didn't want no craziness, just a good old relaxing time.
Then we took our outrage to a gorgeous little place in Saratoga, NY. Longfellows, where we had the most delicious food.
1st course- assorted olives, fresh fruit, marinated mushrooms, soft cheese, blooming onion dip with pita chips, banquettes, homemade brushetta
2nd course- mixed baby greens with julienne veggies and homemade mozzarella cheese, fresh calamari in a lemon butter sauce
3rd course: your choice of veal milanses, fresh clams and mussels, roasted veggies, Parmesan risotto, fusilli with Italian sausage, grilled Delmonico steak in a balsamic glaze,
For dessert: A butter Almond Cake with dark chocolate mousse filling
Welcome. you have been invited here because it is the most significant time in Janelle and Alan's life, which they share with those they love and care about. Every marriage needs the love, nurturing and support of a network of family and friends. you are the community with who this couple will celebrate life's special moments and to who they will turn to in times of need. Each and every one of you have shared and contributed to their lives in the past, and by witnessing their marriage ceremony today, Janelle and Alan would like you to share in their future as well.
marriage is a commitment of life, to the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other human relationship can equal: a joining that is promised for a lifetime. Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's mos important relationships. A wife and husband are each others best friends, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller:memories are fresher: commitment is stronger; even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly. marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, and new ways of expressing love through the seasons of life. When two people pledge to love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique to themselves, which binds them closer that any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential, made in the hearts of two people who love, which takes a lifetime to fulfill.
Alan, do you promise to encourage Janelle, to stand by her side, to share laughter during the good times, and stand strong through the bad? To dry her tears when necessary and offer a kind word when needed? To share all you have to offer? Do you come here with love and without reservation to join together with this women in marriage? I do.
Janelle, do you promise to encourage Alan, to stand by his side, to share laughter during the good times, and stand strong through the bad? To dry her tears when necessary and offer a kind word when needed? To share all you have to offer? Do you come here with love and without reservation to join together with this man in marriage? I do.
Family love is the dynastic awareness of time, this shared belonging to a chain of generations…we collaborate together to root each other in a dimension of time longer than our own lives.
Lodged in heart and memory. by Michael Ignatieff
Vows (have written on cards/read to one another)
Groom: as we stand together, I take in my hand the hand of my bride, my beloved. To you dear lady who stands as the mother of this, my chosen one, I say thank you Carol. I thank you for giving her life, for giving her beauty, for giving her the sweetness i adore, for giving her the good sense to say yes to me. I vow that I will never cause you concern for her well being, that I will indeed love and cherish her, and treat her with that love each day. She will be my moon and my starts, her needs will be my first concern. And to you Blake, who stands as her father, I promise to honor and protect her, though i will never replace you in her life or in her heart. I will be, as you were, her guardian and her champion. I shall love her for as long as I shall live.
Bride: My dearest, I have promised to love you forever, and in doing so, I also promise my love and respect to those two people who have nurtured you, taught you, and prepared you for this time and place. To you Sue, the mother of my husband, I promise to love and protect in my heart this son, who is always a part of your heart, who came from your body, whose life is a part of your life. I will give him joy and trust, laughter and solace, compassion and strength. I will be as strong in his life as wife, as you have been as mother. To you his father, Don, I pledge to trust this man who now and forever stands beside me. I thank you for his wit, for his knowledge and for teaching him the good sense to wait until the best came along. I do love him and with to be with him forever: for that love, i am also grateful to you. I am pleased that I am party of your family and that you are a part of mine.
Reading from the Sundial at yaddo's in Saratoga Springs
Time is two slow for those who wait
to long for those who grieve
too short for those who rejoice
but for those who love time is eternity
Exchange of Rings
May I have the rings, please? For thousands of years lovers have exchanged rings as a token of their vows. The circle is a symbol of eternity. It has no beginning and no end. It has no point of weakness. Janelle and Alan, may your love be as everlasting as these precious rings. May they signify your love, trust, and faithfulness to one another. In the years to come may they remind you of the magnificent joy of this special occasion. May you always be as happy together as you are today.
Alan, as you place this ring on Janelle's finger, look into her eyes and repeat after me:
With this ring, I seal my pledge to you, to be your husband for all time.
janelle, as you place this ring on ALan's finger, look into his eyes and repeat after me:
With this ring, I seal my pledge to you, to be your wife for all time.
Inasmuch as Janelle and ALan have consented together in marriage, and witnessed this consent before this company, have pledged their faith each to the other, and sealed this pledge with the exchange of rings, I pronounce that they are husband and wife together.
Final Blessing:
May your marriage bring you all that excitement a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance, and understanding. May you always need one another, not so much to fill your emptiness, as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete. The valley does not make a mountain less, but more. And the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it. So let it be with you and you. May you need one another, but not out of weakness. May you want one another, but not out of lack. May you entice one another, but not compel on another. May you embrace one another, but not out encircle one another. may you succeed in all-imporant ways with one another, and not fail in the little graces. May you look for things to praise, other say, I love you and take no notice of small faults. If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back. may you enter into the mystery that is the awareness of one anothers' presence, no more physical than spiritual. May you have happiness, and may you find it making one other happy. May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.
Janelle and Alan have exchanged vows and rings before this company of family and friends, it is my privilege as a ordained minister to pronounce that they are husband and wife.
You may now kiss your bride
I present to you the first time, Mr. and Mrs.

Growing habs in the northeast is frustrating... The fruit are almost never ready till september. I purchased the hybrid that promises fruit a month earlier... Anyone try it before? |

I've never grown the chichen itza hab. You may not have the space, lights, etc. but rather that going the hybrid route, have you thought about starting regular habs earlier for an earlier harvest? |
I put them outside as soon as practical (mid-may). The seedlings are already two months old at that point. Every year, I do not get viable hab fruit until September. |
I think a lot of peppers are day length sensitive. In my experience they fruit more late in the summer , when day length are about 13 hours. Normally, you would think that they should fruit in the warmers days of summer better, but why suddenly they get to work in September?. This past season my Cubannele and Chilaca had couple of fruits all summer. Come September, they burst into flowers and pods, when night lows were in 40s. I am sure there are exceptions. I hav an ornamental that kept fruiting all summer till frost. |

Joos crackin me up.
Joos? its jews you idiot…….the text seems a bit racist to me and the father and son need to be bitch slapped into the next county. I think that racist people are nothing but pathetic cowards who are a waste of space and sperm. The mothers should of had an abortion or a miscarriage.
Looks like a real keyboard commando on the site today folks. "Joos" Comes from an episode of South Park. But any one with as little humor in them as you have, I wouldn't expect them to get it anyway. How do you know they aren't Jewish? Did that one cross your mind before you decided to fire off your own HATEFUL diatribe? Of course it didn't. Regardless of what YOU think, humor is humor and it's not going to kill you. It's a joke so get over it.If I got bent out of shape over every Irishman joke I've heard over the years I'd done nothing but be pissed off for the past 40 years.
Here I'll help expand your humor:
"How many Jews can you fit in a Volkswagen, Angie?"
"Jee Mister Lunchbox, how many?"
"You can fit 105 of them in a Vee-Dub!"
"How is that almighty purveyor of comedy?"
"I'm glad you asked me that oh ye of little humor… You put 2 up front, 3 in the back and 100 in the ashtray."
"You're gonna burn in hell Mr. Lunchbox"
"No, I don't think so, not for telling a Jew joke, even if they are God's people. Thanks for playing, I'll drop your parting gift off at your moms house when I see her tonight…hey tell her to shave her back this time, Mmmm kay??"
@ Angie, I am pretty sure that Judaism is not a race… It is a religion so you could be prejudice at best.
Plus learn how to take a joke. This is the internet. Get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.
Right away I am going to do my breakfast, once having my breakfast coming over again to read more

The resurgence in reference material related to biblical and theological studies in the last decade has new and updated volumes covering nearly every aspect of those studies. One glaring exception has been a lack in the area of church history. The two main works available have been The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (3rd edition, edited by E. A. Livingstone and the late Frank L. Cross, Oxford University Press, 2005) and Jerald Brauer's, Westminster Dictionary of the Christian Church (WJK, 1971). The former works price tag of $150 generally keeps it out of reach to the average pastor, and the later had, by the admission of the editor of this new edition, become significantly dated.
This new edition will be published in two volumes dividing roughly between A.D. 33 to 1700 and then 1700 to the present day. This is an excellent decision on the part of the publisher allowing for more articles in terms of number and depth. In this new edition (unlike its predecessor) the articles are signed and each contains a short bibliography. The articles are all solid overviews of the individual person, place, or event. Very few are longer than two full columns, most between 350-750 words long.
The work is thorough in terms of entries, but it is not exhaustive. For instance, many of the minor or insignificant popes do not receive an entry. One notable exclusion is Benedict IX [Theophylactus of Tusculum] (1012-1061 or 1085 ), who was notable for being the youngest pop e (probably in his late teens when he was first elected) and also held the papacy on three separate occasions in his rather tumultuous lifetime. Some articles are perhaps too brief, for instance, that of Henry VIII (300) is only slightly longer than that of his son, Edward VI (219) even though Edward reigned only five years compared to Henry's 44 years. In addition, the fact of Henry's exceptional importance in the transition of England to a world power is important. Also, the work does not mention Henry's work against the Reformation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_of_the_Seven_Sacraments"\o"Defenceofthe Seven Sacraments" Assertio Septem Sacramentorum (Defense of the Seven Sacraments), for which the title "Defender of the Faith" was attached to the English monarchy. However, these are exceptionally minor flaws in an excellent work.
The articles are also well balanced in terms of reflecting both the Eastern and Western traditions concerning personalities and significant works. Further, the editor has been careful to assign a wider scope of articles in the oft-neglected medieval period, and the updated scholarship in the patristic entries is noteworthy.
This is an excellent reference volume that will serve its owner well. The articles are well written, the bibliographies, though brief, are thoroughly suggestive. One can look forward to the companion volume and highly recommend this present work.

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 Jersey!
Facts about Jersey
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Jersey's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jersey is a 6 month old male DSH. Neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a compassionate home.
Jersey started his life off just as any other, but within days of birth his eyes became infected. We found him at about 4 wks old, underweight, full of parasites, and his eyes so full of infection 2 doctors suggested we euthanize him. We tried for 2 1/2 months to save the eyes with no success. He did great with the surgery and he doesn't let it slow him down. He is so full of energy, he doesn't stop! He will need to go to home that doesn't mind him using his claws, he has them out a lot feeling his way around.
Other Pets at Cat Network of Stanislaus
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jersey, a Modesto Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Modesto, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Modesto.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Modesto 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 Modesto 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Modesto paves the way for another one to be saved.

*Taken from Prison Planet. Written by Paul Joseph Watson.
Opportunity Finance Network is backed by very banks who screwed struggling Americans by refusing to loan bailout funds.
Starbucks has gone on a charm offensive with the launch of its 'Let's Create Jobs For USA' initiative, which will encourage people to donate $5 dollars every time they buy a coffee towards a fund aimed at helping poor people get loans.
However, the group running the scheme is funded by the very same big banks who received trillions in bailout funds that are still deliberately withholding loans from struggling Americans in order to make money off the interest on deposits held with the Federal Reserve.

i think it is an excellent mascara! it gives a lot of volume and length and an unbelievably rich black colour to lashes(i have the ultra black). though 1 layer is enough for luscious lashes, it can be also applied in 2 layers for a really dramatic effect (for party only) but then it should be applied precisely coz the brush has a lot of product on it and it could clump and stick the lashes together and smudge all over if u are clumsy.
i wouldn't suggest it as a 1st mascara for teens but for those who have more experience in using makeup, it can be a really good choice!
it can give a fals-lash effect and volumizes, lenghtens, colors plus curls and holds the curl. during a night in a club it wont come down. but because of that it is not easy to remove, part of it stays on lashes after you cleared your eye makeup. that is not too good but one can get away with it i think. and anyway, this mascara is not created for everyday use, its for night-outs for a killer look ;)
yuck. this is flake city after a while. that is if you can even get it on. the brush is so huge you would need to have deer eyes to even get it on there without it going everywhere.
its just a bit watery mess, you dont get length or thickness or curl. i dont have long eyelashes and i need allot of help from my mascaras coz i love mine being big and dramatic,and i dont get it with this, its just not worth the money, cheaper ones have worked better on my eyelashes.
not crazy about this mascara. I have seen it on others and thought wow. On myself was not impressed.
I really like this, i have a tremendous problem with flaking mascara, and i normall wash with Pears soap so its not an oily eye MU remover problem. This stays put all day and yes its a bit hard to get off, but i wash with a mild soapless gel cleanser (Avene Clenance) and that sewems to remove it well. Plus it is nice and BLACK, not ashy like other black mascaras. Doesnt clump, and it lifts and defines without being spidery, however if you goopit on it will make a mess, but thats like most mascaras anyway, with a small amount of effort this will do wonders. will buy again, and not to bad @ £6.99.
EDIT: still loving this, i havent purchased another mascara since i discovered this, i have tested a few but they didnt match up to this. The original and Black Jack formula's are still the best, the extreme black seems to get very dry and clumpy immediatly and flakes, it just doenst wear like the other two formulas. Still a happy bunny with this and its usually on offer in Superdrug or Boots :)
i need this because I'm a dancer and i can't afford to have my mascara running down my face when I'm sweating away in class. it does smudge a little, but very very little. i notice though, that this shouldn't be for daily use. it dries out my lashes if i use it too much. it really lengthens and gives volume to my lashes. i <3 using this for my dance shows :D When i apply, it does not clump up my eyelashes that much and when it does i just brush it with my old Diorshow mascara brush and it makes me look like i'm wearing fake eyelashes.
[Edit] As the formula is introduced to more air from being used so much, it turned the formula all clumpy. I don't really like the brush.
I'm a bit on the fence with this mascara. It's a bitch to remove though - I inevitably end up losing a few lashes with this mascara. Does tend to clump as the formula is very thick and volumising, and if you're not really careful it can make your lashes curl in a funny direction. The colour is great though - really, really black.
It stays on for ages (even in the shower!) and you need to be take care when removing. Some reviewers have said there's a knack to using the brush but I use it the way it works for me. It thickens, lengthens and holds a curl quite well if you use lash curlers beforehand. I'm still on the lookout for my HG ever since they stopped selling Volum' Express (curved brush) in the UK, so until I find a replacement, I suppose this will do.
I actually really like this mascara. After reading the bad reviews i was put off buying it but then decided to anyway and i am really glad i did. Admittedly the brush can be a bit hard to master at first but after a few applications it becomes alot easier. Also the amount of product the brush picks up can just stick your lashes toether but ive found that if you use an eyelash comb or another mascara wand (i use maxfactor masterpiece) you can easily seperate your lashes and make them long and defined. This definatly isn't the mascara for you if you like a natural look, but if, like me, you LOVE over the top, fake looking lashes this is perfect. Lippy off because it takes a while to dry, therefore you get those annoying little black splodges over your eyelids.
NIGHTMARE: I hate this stuff. First of all, it goes on in clumps. I guess its okay if you are fine with rushing to comb thru your lashes before it dries, but for me, that defeats the purpose. With dior or even some good loreal mascaras you dont have to. Also, this kind of reminds me of blinc mascara tubes because I cant get it off with remover but have to kind of pull it off. The brush is odd. Yuck. Stay away, there is an excellent chance you wont like this. Oh, and BTW, I am definitely someone who likes big bold lashes. The thicker and longer the better, as long as they are mine (ie not fake).
This seems to be a love it or hate it mascara. As for me, I love it, it makes my lashes look huge!! It adds a lot of volume and length. Sometimes I have to go through and comb my lashes after applying it, but not always. The brush has 2 sides with long bristles and 2 almost flat sides. It is very similar to the MAC Plushlash and Urban Decay Skyscraper mascara brushes. Using the flat side then the long side, I get dark (I have it in Ultra Black), long, full lashes with minimal clumping that is easy to comb out if any clumping does occur. It does not smudge or flake and comes off with regular eye makeup remover. My lashes felt soft and they stayed curled. I am definitely repurchasing

Santorum's pre-Super Tuesday surprise fell 13 percent short, but in the margins, the social-issue supporters remain.
Ineffectively, because in the end it was Mitt, and not Rick, who got picked by most Washington State Republicans in a baroquely confusing and laughably inconsequential exercise that involved only about 50,000 voters and saw the state party announcing a "winner" based on results of non-binding straw polls conducted at each caucus site. (The delegate haul for each candidate remains a mystery, and in any case Washington's Republican delegates are free to make up, or change, their minds at a later point as at least one Manchurian delegate secretly hoping to take part in a Ron Paul coup at the county convention planned to do.)
Still, as Romney heads into Super Tuesday lifted by recent wins in Arizona, Michigan, and now bizarre process aside Washington State, it's worth pausing amid this half-grown sense of inevitability to ask: Wait, Seattleites for Santorum really?
"I'd like to interview them too, just to understand," laughed Barry Wheeler, 30, a naturopath who'd come to at Roosevelt High School here to caucus for Ron Paul on Saturday morning.
For Barry, then, and for history, a brief survey of opinion amidst a political rarity:
Douglas Allen, 47, drives a truck for Aramark and dressed for the caucuses in slacks and a purple-and-gold Washington Huskies jacket. Seated on the bleachers in the high-school gym while waiting for the action to start, he laid it out: "I am a hard-right conservative. I am pro-straight marriage. I am pro-life. I am against government funding for contraception."
No surprise: Santorum is his guy.
And please don't bother Allen with distractions like the recent contraception wars. "The lady from Georgetown, she is another pawn kind of like Warren Buffet's secretary," he said. "Who gives a damn about contraception? The deficit is $16 trillion but that's what the Democrats want to push."
Allen knows this type of talk is not popular in Seattle. Whatever.
"We're outnumbered," he said. "I vote in every election and I vote for all the losers."
Catherine Shumate, 25, works as a first-grade teacher and also serves on the board of a local pregnancy center. (In Washington State, pregnancy centers often hide their religious affiliations while actively discouraging women from having abortions.)
"I like his values," Shumate, a practicing Catholic, said of Santorum, a practicing Catholic. "I like that he's firm. I feel like I know what he stands for and he doesn't go back on issues."
Wait, a young Seattle woman who likes Santorum, even on all the social issues?
"Yes, I like him for the social issues every single one," Shumate said. "Mainly the life issues." (She's opposed to the use of contraception, but added: "I don't look down on people who use it.")
In Seattle, Shumate said, "I feel like a minority." As she was in the Republican caucus process.
Stephen Murphy, 43, works in the investment management business, had on a dark wool overcoat and what looked to be expensive leather loafers, and at first couldn't believe that anyone was looking for Santorum's supporters around here.
"All four of us," he joked.
Told that only three including himself had been found up that point, Murphy offered: "My wife's four. She's with the children."
So: Why Santorum?
"He's a man of conviction and character. And I think the problems we have in this country are moral, and he's willing to address moral issues, even at the risk of upsetting people."
A practicing Roman Catholic, Murphy also likes that Santorum "lives out his faith." He's accustomed to his pro-life, pro-"traditional marriage" opinions putting him on the political margins of his neighborhood, which he called "probably the most liberal neighborhood in the entire state." But he thinks Santorum can win. "Yes, I do," Murphy said.
John Brewer, 28, works as an insurance agent and calls himself an evangelical protestant.
Of what denomination?
"I believe in Jesus, that's my denomination," Brewer said.
He was dressed on Saturday exactly as people elsewhere imagine most Seattleites dress, wearing a fleece jacket and jeans and, for the stereotypical trifecta, sipping from a metal reusable coffee mug.
"A lot of the people I've run into, they've never actually met a conservative," Brewer said. "They've never met someone who actually believes in the Bible, it's almost fascinating to them."
But he believes Santorum "is the truest conservative candidate in the race," and, anyway, he likes an underdog. Nor does it hurt that Santorum like Brewer is firmly opposed to abortion and gay marriage. "We've seen in other states what it leads to," Brewer said of same-sex unions. "It doesn't just end at gay marriage. It ends in employers being forced to hire people regardless of their sexual identity. I think that private employers, private business owners, should be able to hire whoever they want to." Nevertheless, Brewer has gay friends. "I accept them for where they're at," he said.
On Obama, Brewer offered an example of either the prevalence of a particular opinion or the penetration of certain talking points.
"He has a very different world view from me," Brewer said. "I believe he's trying to transform the country into something most Americans don't want, something the Founding Fathers didn't envision: European-style socialist government."
Where have we heard that before? But still: "The path to victory doesn't hinge on Washington," John Brewer said, and then went and voted for Rick Santorum.
Eli Sanders is an associate editor at The Stranger.

I have no idea why some of the previous reviewers are raving about the smell of this, but for me this smells HORRIBLE... I like exotic, nutty smells (like those at the Body Shop) and bought this thinking it would be a pleasant thing to put on and go to bed, but was completely displeased. It smells like strong fragrances were just thrown in the jar without paying attention to how well they go together, and the result was a mess. Besides the smell, the consistency of this "lotion" is very lightweight. Talking of "butter" I was expecting a thicker, more moisturizing creme. Trust me, this product will do nothing to your cuticles. It does get absorbed fast, which would make it suitable for daily use rather than at night, but I would not dare to put that thing on my hands in public -that weird smell would be the first thing people would recognize. Has a very nice jar though.
I like this hand cream because it smells so good to me. Makes my hands nice and soft, and the hands don't feel greasy. I would definatly buy it again for my self and for my family.
Although the smell could be better, it doesn't really bother me. The lotion does absorb quickly and lasts for a few hours before I find myself using more of it. But, as far as cuticle cream, it doesn't do anything for my cuticles, if anything I find them rougher and drier than before.
I did not care for the smell of this at all. It smells like burnt caramel to me. As this contains shea butter, I expected it to be a thick, rich creme. It is a light lotion that absorbs in easily and without leaving a greasy residue. I prefer thicker creams for use on my hands and feet at night, like Avon's moisture therapy cream. My DH likes the smell of this is using up the tube on his hands.

I'm addicted to this entire product line. I keep this in my purse, as well as at home. Works as well as any other hand cream, but the smell is so addicting! For an extra treat, exfoliate your hands with the matching Brown Sugar body scrub.
More reviews by takemyhusbandplz
Smells good and seems to be moisturizing without being greasy. I will repurchase.
I really couldn't disagree more with the other reviewer. First, this product smells STANK! It smells like something rotten--totally disgusting. Second, it is not moisturizing at all. After application there is a film on top of my hands that won't go away until I wash them. I think the product does not absorb well. I will not repurchase. I'll stick to Ahava and L'Occitane.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this as a part of the gift when I ordered the skincare from Avon, and I ended up liking this more than my order item. At first I thought the smell was a bit heavy, too much like candy, but upon application the candy smell fades somewhat, and ends up like a cross between caramel and brown sugar. It's pretty nice for winter actually.
As for the creme this is simply the best hand moisturizer I've used for a while. It absorbs into the skin quickly, not too greasy, and leaves the skin silky soft. Now I gotta try all the other Planet spa items...

Why do all the planets orbit in the same plane?
I am a novice astronomer and have been enjoying learning about the stars and the local universe. I have noticed that the orbits of the planets are relativly planer (with the exception of Pluto). I'm curious why this is. Are the orbits planer because of the gravitational pull the planets have on each other (I envision the creation of the solar system with eratic orbits all dampening to the center of mass). I don't know if there is a "proven" answer to the question so I am interested in some of the prevailing theories.
The orbits of the planets are coplanar because during the Solar System's formation, the planets formed out of a disk of dust which surrounded the Sun. Because that disk of dust was a disk, all in a plane, all of the planets formed in a plane as well.
Rings and disks are common in astronomy. When a cloud collapses, the conservation of angular momentum amplifies any initial tiny spin of the cloud. As the cloud spins faster and faster, it collapses into a disk, which is the maximal balance between gravitational collapse and centrifugal force created by rapid spin. The result is the coplanar planets, the thin disks of spiral galaxies, and the accretion disks around black holes.

My friend purchased the step stool at Target. She wanted to leave the finish as is and just paint colored leaves and pumpkins on it. I suggested painting the background black on just the front of the step and then added the design. I'm glad you like it ;~) Gail |

This was a first.... a customer brought me a quote for a solid surface job. It was from Menards of Marion IL. It was approx 56 sq ft and they had it priced at 2,200. He then explained it was priced with him picking it up and installing it. It was a green color and name I had never heard.
You guys ever hear of a box store doing this??? Gee, pretty soon it will be stocked right next to the plywood and sold for $9.99 sheet.
GREAT, I guess it happens to all products but that doesn't sound great.
Sample I saw was 1/2"
Corinthian solid surface was sold here in So. Calif. in the early 90's. As I recall, there were a lot of problems and it disappeared. I have not heard about it in years. I know there were many repairs. Maybe Karl knows more about it.
Corinthian 2000 solid surface was made exclusively by CCM Enterprises out of San Marcos, CA. CCM is a large ($14M/yr.) fabricator that also sells cultured marble (which they pour), onyx, all major SS brands, and granite.
CCM used to be Custom Craft Marble. Then they merged with Western Marble under their new name - Cal Custom Mfg.
They stopped making Corinthian when they last changed ownership in about 2002 (when they became CCM Ent.) as it was plagued by some issues that were evidently not totally resolved.
We still work with them. Great guys, good shop, marginal product (Corinthian). I am surprised to hear it is still available.
