Louis Tomlinson and his girlfriend Eleanor Calder had the perfect view of Tom Daley's bid for Olympics glory on Saturday, as the teen took part in the Men's 10m Platform Diving final – but the cute couple only had eyes for one another.
The One Direction hunk and his 20-year-old girlfriend looked the picture of young love as they cuddled up in the stands, kissing each other and taking snaps of themselves wrapped in a Union Jack flag.
Luckily they managed to tear their eyes away from each other long enough to see Tom score a bronze medal for his stunning efforts.
The young pair are one of the hottest showbiz couples around, and sparked marriage rumours after Eleanor sported a band on her wedding ring finger following a romantic break in France with Louis earlier in the summer.
The politics student soon cleared up the misunderstanding, when people asked if she was engaged to Louis, writing on Twitter: "Haha noo It's just a flower ring that I bought from a market! Xx."
But that hasn't stopped the marriage rumours from persisting – and snaps of Louis and Eleanor looking at each other with googly eyes isn't going to help things either!
Fellow One Direction cutie Liam Payne and his dancer girlfriend Danielle Peazer have also sparked marriage rumours, after the singer told friends at the recent showbiz wedding of Marvin Humes and Rochelle Wiseman that he was "in it for the long haul" with stunning Dan.
A friend is quoted telling The Sun: "Liam and Danielle are already talking about serious commitment. He's got it all worked out already – he's really mature for his age.
"The boys were joking he would be next at Marv and Rochelle's wedding – and he didn't deny it.
"He's said all along he wants to be a young dad. He reckons at 25 he'll be on nappy changing duty."
Liam already showed Danielle how much he thinks of her, by splashing the cash on a flash Audi TT for no particular reason other than to treat his beloved.
We're honestly not jealous at all. Not one tiny little bit…
Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder prove they're so in love at Olympics

Fist me gently, fist me slowly…
…take it easy, don't you know that I have never been fucked like this before.
"Baby, baby" indeed (with sincerest apologies to Andy Kim). As much as I'd tried to provide a gentle introduction to fisting in my first post on the topic, I failed miserably when it came down to the video examples accompanying that blog. Unfortunately, most of the pussy fisting portrayed in porn is of the full-insertion, rapid-fire, "up to the elbow" ilk – what I would best categorise as extreme fisting – and I guarantee that, if you attempt to start off in this fashion, your partner will likely be put off the practice forever.
Pussy fisting should provide profound pleasure and not pain, and so a slow, considerate, patient approach is required (especially if your wife or girlfriend has never been fisted before). And so, subsequent to that introductory blog, I've been keeping an eye out for examples of the sort of gentle fisting I sought to portray in that post and, trolling through the countless video galleries of FTV Girls (from whence MyVaginaSite's cover-pussy comes), I soon found precisely the fashion of fisting that I'd been looking for!
In this video, we find two young, nubile blondes exploring each other's bodies to the point of mutual masturbation with each alternately inserting a hand into their girlfriend's vagina to feel the moist, tactile wonders which lie within and discovering pleasures unattainable by masturbating on one's own. I do so envy these two uninhibited teens – not out of any sort of jealous sexual desire but merely because they're open-minded enough to freely share their bodies with each other and discover the joy of fisting so early on in life.
It just makes me wish I'd paid more attention to my girlfriend's pussy at that age instead of incessantly obsessing over her big tits all the time. The last time I saw her before I moved away, she was 22 and about to get married to a nice Catholic boy. Although it had been five years since we'd last been together, sexually speaking, and she'd had plenty of sex partners since then, she admitted to me during that final visit together that she still had yet to experience an orgasm. :~( If only I had known I'd have put aside my breast obsession for the time being and focused more fully upon her pussy.
Ah – regrets, I've had a few – and hindsight can be a cruel tease. Besides, I was terribly young at the time and, in the rushed nature of stealthy sex when and where the opportunity arose combined with the typical sexual insecurities of youth, really didn't have the faintest idea of how to properly pleasure a woman. In fact, it wasn't until the ripe old age of 37 that I'd finally "come to grips" with the female genitalia thanks to a partner who was totally open to my exhaustive exploration of her clitoris, labia, vagina, cervix and all the other components coming together to form the female sexual anatomy.
All of which is precisely why I'm so envious of Jana Foxy & Sandy, the two young ladies in today's video. While I'm sure the porn world would describe them using such provocative promotional patter as "bisexual blonde teens" or even *gasp* "teenage lesbians", Jana & Sandy simply strike me as being two typical yet open-minded girlfriends willing to share each other's bodies and thus get to learn more about themselves and their sexuality through a little mutual masturbation (and, besides, I've always felt that bisexuality is in the eye of the beholder) in these gentle fisting videos from FTVgirls.com:

La Ruota del Tempo Perpetual Calendar by Enrico Azzimonti
A perpetual calendar by Enrico Azzimonti reflects the endless cycle of the wheel of time.
Designed for Diamantini & Domeniconi, La Ruota del tempo is composed of stacked ceramic wheels that go through a vigorous kiln process at temperatures of 1050º C, 960º C and 920º C.
The laser cut pointer is the timekeeper that indicates the date. Rotate the wheels and all will be aligned, giving the user some fleeting sense of being able to control time.
Tabla, with its chalkboard clock face, puts some fun into keeping time and leaving timely messages.
The birch clock, also designed by Azzimonti, comes with coloured chalk and felt chalkboard erasers that are stored in a pull-out drawer.

Sorting SysOp Applications
May 30, 2009 in Random Thoughts, Team Writings
Since my last post, I've been made an admin for the wiki. With the help of Lizy, I've placed an advertisement to lure decent people to help as system operators. My main goal was stressing that each applicant should take an adequate amount of time to fill in their application in order to be considered. Otherwise they were just wasting everyone's time. A couple of days have passed since the advert reached the frontpage news and farrrrrrrrrrrrr out there were a lot of quality applications submitted—more and more falling into the inbox every day. I've taken the time to sort through each application and moved them into the appropriate folders. My (currently) final collection of possible candidates is a huge ~20 people! Towards the end, I threw away anyone who:
- Didn't set out their application in an easy-to-read fashing.
- Had shockingly poor grammar and/or spelling e.g., forgetting to capitalise "I"; not inserting apostrophes where they should be.
- Anyone who wrote their whole life story, as it implies they expect me to read it and think greater of them but basically, I will hate you more.
Unfortunately, choosing the final candidates will only be separated by a miniscule difference and will probably come down to something stupid like which applicants respond the quickest. Whether or not the people selected will stick around for a substantial amount of time, there's no way to find out now. I also have the feeling that a number of the applicants are under the impression it is a paid job. Not true! I must stress that
the position of a Wiki System Operator is purely on a volunteer basis.
The next step in the recruitment process will be to have the in-game and forum accounts of the shortlisted candidates checked. After they've been deemed not to be idiots, the team will be complete and we can get to work.
Overall, this process of selecting applicants has taught me a lot. I haven't done anything like this since the death of the OptusNet gaming network. It's shown me the ideal number of lines for each question is roughly three to four and as always,
the less words you write, the better you will sound.
Since it's a written application, keep the language formal and save the casual verbal chat for the phone or the face-to-face interview.

November 2, 2007
Two years after Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf region continues to face a mental health crisis. Approximately 14 percent of persons in the region today report mental illnesses, an increase from the period six months after the storm.
Residents of a Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) trailer park in Mississippi were recently notified that they would be moved to permanent housing, but without being told exactly when and to where. One study has reported that suicide attempts in FEMA trailer parks are 79 times the national average.

The trouble with quotes on the Internet is one never knows if they are genuine. Abraham Lincoln
When I was a young, crazy girl, I used what I thought was using as good sense as you could have when choosing one my tattoos, a Virgo sign. Now, I am not a Virgo, apparently! I may as well have had my ex-boyfriends name tattooed on me!
And, seriously, I am not buying into any of this, and not just because I permanently marked my ankle with a certain Virgo symbol! Although I wonder how easily it can be turned into a Leo symbol....

I am now a Ophiuchus, what ever the heck THAT is!
And, no, make no difference to me.
A friend always reads the horoscopes and tries to tell me mine. What a lot of hogwash and baloney!
Yes, hogwash and baloney, both. And you're right, MartianCrab (sorry, I don't know your name). The fact that these were ever printed in the paper, much less today, is absurd. Do people honestly believe that EVERYONE born within the same sign is going to have the SAME exact type day to look forward to? Um, yeah, no, that's not going to happen. And stop getting you d@mn palm and tarot cards read at the carnival. Charlatans. Every last one of 'em.
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
Surely the fact that this thing can be "rearranged", shifting people from one supposed nature to another, only proves how absolutely ludicrous it is?
"I really hope that people won't cherry-pick my quotes in the future
and use them out of context to justify things that I would never sign-off on."

For the truly ludicrous, how about the Chinese zodiac. EVERYONE born in the same year has the same traits. Genius.

I couldn't agree more I don't pay attention or give credence to the "Astrology" part but I just like the fact that I am a Scorpio because well it's a Scorpion and those things are so Metal.(sorry that's my word for awesome) if I were any other "sign" I wouldn't pay attention to it at all....
Plus as a PP had mentioned it only changes for people born from 2009 forward, therefore anyone posting on here wouldn't have to worry about it...step back from the edge people your zodiac sign tattoo is still cool

The Packaging
The packaging for the SimpleTOUGH is pretty straight forward. Hitachi lists the capacity on the front in big letters and also shows how many songs, pictures and such the drive could hold.
The back shows how the cable system operates, but I don't think many people will need to check out the instructions to operate the unit.
Hitachi includes a software backup utility as well as some publishing software with each SimpleTOUGH. The software is located on the drive itself.

intangible |inˈtanjəbəl|
unable to be touched or grasped; not having physical presence: my companions do not care about cyberspace or anything else so intangible.
• difficult or impossible to define or understand; vague and abstract: the rose symbolized something intangible about their relationship.
• (of an asset or benefit) not constituting or represented by a physical object and of a value not precisely measurable: intangible business property like trademarks and patents.
noun (usu. intangibles)
an intangible thing: intangibles like self-confidence and responsibility.
There's our official Apple dictionary on the word "intangible" which gets thrown an awful lot around hockey conversation. Google "intangible NHL" and you get about 23 million results, compared with 15 million for the NBA, 843,000 for the NFL and 412,000 for MLB.
In hockey I guess we love our players who bring things that are tough to define. The top Google result for "intangible NHL" comes from Scott Cullen at TSN who used several different statistical categories to come up with an "Ingangibles rating" at the conclusion of the 2011 NHL season. Greg Zanon led the NHL in intangibles and Ryan Callahan was second.
I like Cullen. He spent the weekend at the Sloan Sport Analytics Conference and wrote a very good column about the state of analytics in the minds of fans. His column from two years ago is funny because he's not the first, and won't be the last, to attempt to quantify 'intangibles', which is something that, again, can't be defined. It's the old "I know it when I see it" argument, and affixing a number or a rating on a player for his work ethic in certain areas ignores the parts of the game the model isn't designed to pick out.
I've written before how CBC has used a crude "hits plus blocked shots" statistic to estimate how gritty certain teams are, particularly into the playoffs when we're led to believe grit matters more than talent. Putting these numbers together and coming up with rankings takes away from the beauty of intangibles, the idea that there is some aspect of hockey and sports that is so human it can't be measured on anything but reflex. There is something in the back of my mind preventing me from accepting that Ed Jovanovski was merely a good offensive defenceman for his time. Emotionally, Jovanovski meant so much more than what his statistics show, and that sort of blind loyalty and attachment, whether it's as a fan to a player or a teammate to a teammate is what makes sports what it is.
Does that emotional addition have a monetary value? No. Realistically, no intangible quality can be bought or sold like a tangible commodity. A general manager can go out onto the free agent market and buy goals. He can go out into the trade market and purchase a player who allows fewer shots against. I've never thought of a situation where a manager could actually buy "grit". Even things like "size" or "speed" are difficult to measure. A player who is 6'4″ can play a more skilled game than a player who is 5'10″, and if I learned anything from Rick Rypien's brief, yet exciting and memorable National Hockey League career it's that the toughest player on the team can be one of its most physically unassuming.
"I'm going to play the way I do. I'm not going to change anything," he continued. "Obviously, that's why they're bringing me here. I'm going to add that grit, that little bit of toughness, and energy."
You can't "add" intangibles anymore than you can create a definite "intangibles rating". What Brown is talking about, grit, toughness and energy, are three separate qualities that can't be measured as they pertain to hockey. There's no way of being able to objectively assess the Oilers and suggest that the problem is "too few intangibles" and where the proper response is "add more of these things that don't exist".
The popular example of a gritty fourth liner who stands up for his teammates is Shawn Thornton. Thornton has played with a single NHL organization since the time Mike Brown entered the NHL. Brown has played for three teams, soon to be four, while Thornton has been a Bruin. Thornton has been a Bruin through a period of rebuild where the team transitioned from the post-Joe Thornton era, where the leading scorers were Marc Savard and Phil Kessel. Thornton has been with the team, played games with them and won with them. Brown is a hired goon brought in to be something reminiscent of a final piece (Jim Matheson wrote a column in the Edmonton Journal that I reached by clicking on a link "Edmonton Oilers need to add more grit").
If solutions to hockey's problems were as easy as adding more salt to a recipe, more teams would win Stanley Cups. But hockey is not like cooking, where you need the right mix of ingredients. It's more like a bank, where you're better off putting as much valuable stuff in the vault as you can and letting it appreciate over time.
Steve Tambellini suggests that Brown is "a tough kid who plays hard every night" which is something I could do. If I were in the NHL, I doubt I'd take a shift off. Qualifier: I'm also not good at hockey—I need to look at the puck when I stickhandle and have trouble crossing over to my right when I turn. I would try very hard though.
"When you need to get in on the forecheck and get to that first hit, he can do that. He can play that abrasive type of hockey that we're looking for." Edmonton are currently 25th in the NHL in goal-scoring. Mike Brown has scored 14 career goals in 254 career games. It's not the abrasive type of hockey that Edmonton needs, it's breaking the curse on their first line. Last season, Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored goals on 15.2% of their shots. This season, they're down to 6.2% combined. Is that because an intangible element was removed from their lineup?
Depth signings are mostly over-analyzed. Even the best forwards who play on fourth lines don't positively help their teams by more than a goal or two a year. These are mostly players who play five or six minutes a night, usually against the other team's fourth line, and it's only a notable occurrence when a player will bring up a skilled rookie onto their fourth line for one of his first NHL games. For most teams, though, the fourth line will end up as a unique combination of a good centreman and two guys who have been on waivers at some point over the last season.
You won't find intangibles begging door-to-door or trading away picks. That's just a way to find replacement players. Somehow, "replacement player" has made it's way into the definition above when it's put into a hockey context. You can't "add" intangibles to your hockey team any more than you can "add" to your lucky hat collection with the first thing you see at Lids. It takes a year or two to break it in.

My practice of printmaking relies on the intersection with my drawing background, with some computer-based media, and the use of a more recent printmaking technique, solarplate etching, that allows me to combine elements from many different fields. To preserve in my prints the qualities of fine lines in traditional drawings, the liquid properties of watercolor media, and the chiaroscuro nature of a charcoal drawing, is a challenge and a fascination to me. Coming from the world of drawing, the experimental world of printmaking inspires me with the possibilities of exploring the same subject in multiple variations – some dramatic and some more subtle – throughout the creation of the edition. The goal always remains the capture of the fluid atmosphere beyond and within the human; the story behind the picture. My subject is exclusively the human figure; a look at imaginary or everyday personas, our given or chosen roles. From quick gestures to completed entities (sometimes in the form of self-portraits), these figures are attempts to create realistic or surrealistic psychographs of the human.
Matina Marki Tillman was born and raised in Western Greece, and currently resides in Connecticut. She has been a distant member of the Washington Printmakers Gallery since 2010, and a member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts since 2009. Her culture combined with her university background in Greek Medieval and Modern Literature and Poetry (B. A., University of Ioannina, 1989) have been the source of much of her artistic inspiration. These came together with a lifelong interest in the human figure to inspire a large portion of her artwork. After moving to the United States, a later exposure to college fine arts classes, independent studies, and workshops in the areas of figure drawing, illustration, and printmaking helped to define a new direction of her work.
Relatively new in the printmaking field, she has exhibited her work in several local, national, and international exhibitions since 2007 including the Center for Contemporary Printmaking Biennial International Miniature Print Exhibition; the New York Society of Etchers National Exhibition of Intaglio Prints; and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside National Small Print Exhibition.

This Is What Revolution Looks LikePosted on Nov 15, 2011
By Chris Hedges Welcome to the revolution. Our elites have exposed their hand. They have nothing to offer. They can destroy but they cannot build. They can repress but they cannot lead. They can steal but they cannot share. They can talk but they cannot speak. They are as dead and useless to us as the water-soaked books, tents, sleeping bags, suitcases, food boxes and clothes that were tossed by sanitation workers Tuesday morning into garbage trucks in New York City. They have no ideas, no plans and no vision for the future. Our decaying corporate regime has strutted in Portland, Oakland and New York with their baton-wielding cops into a fool's paradise. They think they can clean up "the mess"—always employing the language of personal hygiene and public security—by making us disappear. They think we will all go home and accept their corporate nation, a nation where crime and government policy have become indistinguishable, where nothing in America, including the ordinary citizen, is deemed by those in power worth protecting or preserving, where corporate oligarchs awash in hundreds of millions of dollars are permitted to loot and pillage the last shreds of collective wealth, human capital and natural resources, a nation where the poor do not eat and workers do not work, a nation where the sick die and children go hungry, a nation where the consent of the governed and the voice of the people is a cruel joke. Get back into your cages, they are telling us. Return to watching the lies, absurdities, trivia and celebrity gossip we feed you in 24-hour cycles on television. Invest your emotional energy in the vast system of popular entertainment. Run up your credit card debt. Pay your loans. Be thankful for the scraps we toss. Chant back to us our phrases about democracy, greatness and freedom. Vote in our rigged political theater. Send your young men and women to fight and die in useless, unwinnable wars that provide corporations with huge profits. Stand by mutely as our bipartisan congressional supercommittee, either through consensus or cynical dysfunction, plunges you into a society without basic social services including unemployment benefits. Pay for the crimes of Wall Street. The rogues' gallery of Wall Street crooks, such as Lloyd Blankfein at Goldman Sachs, Howard Milstein at New York Private Bank & Trust, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers and Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan Chase & Co., no doubt think it's over. They think it is back to the business of harvesting what is left of America to swell their personal and corporate fortunes. But they no longer have any concept of what is happening around them. They are as mystified and clueless about these uprisings as the courtiers at Versailles or in the Forbidden City who never understood until the very end that their world was collapsing. The billionaire mayor of New York, enriched by a deregulated Wall Street, is unable to grasp why people would spend two months sleeping in an open park and marching on banks. He says he understands that the Occupy protests are "cathartic" and "entertaining," as if demonstrating against the pain of being homeless and unemployed is a form of therapy or diversion, but that it is time to let the adults handle the affairs of state. Democratic and Republican mayors, along with their parties, have sold us out. But for them this is the beginning of the end. The historian Crane Brinton in his book "Anatomy of a Revolution" laid out the common route to revolution. The preconditions for successful revolution, Brinton argued, are discontent that affects nearly all social classes, widespread feelings of entrapment and despair, unfulfilled expectations, a unified solidarity in opposition to a tiny power elite, a refusal by scholars and thinkers to continue to defend the actions of the ruling class, an inability of government to respond to the basic needs of citizens, a steady loss of will within the power elite itself and defections from the inner circle, a crippling isolation that leaves the power elite without any allies or outside support and, finally, a financial crisis. Our corporate elite, as far as Brinton was concerned, has amply fulfilled these preconditions. But it is Brinton's next observation that is most worth remembering. Revolutions always begin, he wrote, by making impossible demands that if the government met would mean the end of the old configurations of power. The second stage, the one we have entered now, is the unsuccessful attempt by the power elite to quell the unrest and discontent through physical acts of repression. Advertisement Square, Site wide

By cclauson, November 17, 2011 at 10:08 pm Link to this comment Couple of comments—first, I'm wondering if Chris Hedges isn't overstating the scale of what's happening here. I'd like to think that this is the push back on the part of the elites that comes right before major reforms, but looking around me (and I realize that this is dangerous—people I'm around may not be representative), although a lot of people are aware of OWS and sympathize, they're still significantly far away from the point where they'll take to the streets and/or go on strike. So basically I'm thinking this might be John Brown before the civil war—not quite in the mainstream, but a leading indicator of where the country is going. Second, a lot of people, both here and elsewhere, are saying the the movement is too unstructured, not enough leadership, unclear message, needs demands, and I totally agree. I could write a lot on this, but on the subject of demands—I think they need some, because "we're occupying this public space in order to effect such-and-such a change in public policy" looks much better than "we're occupying this public space because we're generally discontent and nothing is going to get us to leave", and the movement I think tends to look too much like the latter and not enough like the former. The more they look like the latter, the easier it is for authorities to justify evicting them. On leadership/organization—yeah, I think they definitely need that, too. Occupations, demonstrations, and strikes are fine tools, but if they're rolling and random, then again I think it's easy for people to portray the movement negatively. If there are explicit demands, then the protesters control the narrative better, and put more pressure on government officials to implement real reforms. Additional commentary: I think it would be extremely beneficial if there was more explicit dialogue on the strain of utopian anarchism that runs through the occupy movement. Just to make clear what I'm talking about, it's this notion that all social evils come from hierarchical organization, and if everyone embraces an anti-authoritarian anti-hierarchical ethic, this will spread contagiously throughout the country, government will melt away, and problems will be solved, and moreover, this is likely to happen in the near future—like the next couple of years. The reason I'm calling this out is that I'm getting the impression that there are a lot of people in the Occupy movement who implicitly believe this, but keep it on the down-low because they think (rightly) that most people would think it's bizarre. In my opinion, the movement would be healthier if people either state that they believe this and try to defend it, or call it out and criticize it. |

Hi, this is Rebecca Thienes and I'm the editor of architecture and home building at Country Living Magazine. I'm here at the House of the Year for 2008 in beautiful Beaufort, South Carolina. When designing this kitchen at our House of the Year, I thought about a couple of different elements and to start with, I started with the cabinetry. We wanted to have some contrast between the lower cabinets so those are a darker java finish, and the upper cabinets were light and airy in a glacier or white finish, and their traditional cabinet styles, Shaker-style cabinetry, and they're offset by some beautiful hardware and opaque glass and brushed chrome. Every kitchen should have functional spaces and in this kitchen, we went with 3 different types of countertop surfaces in order to fit the different functions. The island countertop is a Carrara marble. It's a cold surface so it's good for baking and doughs, and then we also have a dropped surface on the island that is a butcher block so that's for chopping vegetables or preparing foods. The last countertop surface is a honed limestone material and I just liked the contrast of the gray matte finish against the polished surface of the white Carrara marble island countertop. The cork panel on the refrigerator was another element that was kind of fun. It's an opportunity to use that space to display any artwork for your kids, photos from family friends or schedules for the week, grocery lists, things along those lines and it's just installed with a simple trim kit from the appliance company, KitchenAid. Another functional item in the kitchen is the shelving under the cook top. I loved how it gives access to the cookware and it's just kind of a nice way to display different items as well, cookware can be expensive and beautiful and it's nice to be able to access it easily in order to get a meal on the table. I think, you know, function's great but it's also good to have some glamorous touches and the farmhouse sink, a traditional form, was really made glamorous by having a different material, in this case, it's a hand-hammered brushed nickel finish and the farmhouse sink has been accented by a kitchen island prep sink that's also in the same finish but it's not as visible, it's something you only see up close. One thing that nobody has enough of is kitchen storage space. In this kitchen, I really wanted to consider that when designing it. I wanted to give some opportunity for the future homeowner to have a spot for cookbooks and mixing bowls so in the island, there's built-in storage included. There's also a great plate rack which I think is such a fun item for showing off collections but also is very functional as well. Thanks a lot for watching and for more information, visit CountryLiving.com.

Thank you for letting me know about this! If I get the new cards on Thursday, I will wait until Monday to attempt to set up the online banking.
If I do not receive the cards on Thursday, I am going to definitely report this mess to their executive offices.
I notice that my credit report is now reporting that this account is closed because, they say the cards were "lost or stolen"--which, of course, is NOT true but, this whole experience has been such a nightmare, I don't know whether to let that go, or not.
Hopefully, this account will get straightened out soon!
Have you received your new card yet? I'm still waiting for mine, got approved on the 11th...
i had the similar issue......earlier in 2011, i tryna rebuild my credit and apps for one of their cards since i bank with them. they declined me but offer me for secured card with 500 depost i did all that and wait a few days to received my card but after a few days no card no call, no nothing i went to the bank and they told me they cancel my card and everything and on top of that they HP me twice in 3 days .....what a shamed.....
Haha, I'm sorry to hear your poor experience with their customer service, OP. I PC'd from an old school platinum Bank of America Card (before they brought back Bank Americard) to the Travel Rewards a few weeks ago... still waiting for that card in the mail as well. They originally said it would take 4-8 weeks I don't really get how it could take that long, but we'll see if I get it soon....
Also, maybe someone can help me out with this one. My "Bill Pay" tab on online banking doesn't work (I don't think it's worked since 2009 or so), I've contacted customer support NUMEROUS times and each time, I got bounced around from card services, to Bill Payments, to Tech services, etc. etc. This is the kicker; the last time I called them, they sent me a letter in SNAIL MAIL saying that they were unable to process my request, due to some issue with Bill Pay. I think I threw it away, although now I wish I would have kept it for leverage to let them know all that I've had to go through just to get online bill pay to work with my accounts...
I agree there cs sucks. In my opinion Cap 1 customer service is better then boa. I have yet to understand why there is a number on the back of the card if its not directly to credit card services

The Nobel oddsmakers were wrong—again!
Year after year, bookies put their bets on Japanese author Haruki Murakami winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. Instead, the Swedish Academy announced this morning that the honor had gone to French author Patrick Modiano.
2014 was feeling like Murakami's time: His 13th novel Colorless Tsukuru and His Years of Pilgrimmage hit shelves in the U.S., and his fourth book of short stories, Men Without Women, has been announced. Earlier this week, The New Yorker ran his short story "Scheherazade." It's almost as if the Murakami machine—although not the notoriously fame-indifferent author himself—had been subtly campaigning for the win.
But even though Murakami still isn't a Nobel Laureate, he's written numerous works that demand to be read (or binged). The 65-year-old author has been writing four hours a day without fail for around 35 years—that's a lot of lit to go through—so we've narrowed down his output to four essential novels that are perfect gateways for newbies: READ FULL STORY

Steph Curry and Mark Jackson Hold Impromptu Shooting Contest at Warriors Camp
When you ask people around the NBA or even just your casual fan, who the best shooter in the league is? Majority of the time the answer will be Steph Curry. The sharpshooting point guard broke the single season record for three-pointers made in season last year by making 272, and could potentially break his own record this year.
Curry and Warriors head coach Mark Jackson had their own shooting competition at the Warriors practice facility the other day. Jackson was an impressive player in his own right especially passing, where he amassed over 10,00 career assists, leaving him third all time. Shooting on the other hand wasn't his strong point as his career high for three's made in a single season was 89, nearly 200 less than Curry. Money on Curry right? Check the video and see what happened. Respect the old man game.

"Oh goodness this is soooo tasty! I also couldn't wait the full 15 minutes to let it cool. This is the first bread I have ever made and it is so amazing! I was determined to make this recipe that I specifically went to the store to get baking powder. I think it is perfect as is!"

Junior Winds is a band for exceptional musicians grades 7-9, with outstanding 6th graders occasionally accepted. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 beginning in September. During the year there are three concerts: one in November (near Thanksgiving), a Prism Concert in late February and one the first Sunday in May. This year Junior Winds has been invited by the OAAE to perform at the opening of Arts Day in late March. The literature studied by Junior Winds falls within the Grade 2+ to 4+ range. Students interested in auditioning for Junior Winds are encouraged to participate in Capital University's Winds and Percussion summer camp. The Junior Winds conductor, Mr. James Dowdy is a conductor at the camp, and the repertoire used is typical of the Junior Winds level. Auditions are held in May, and the annual tuition is $200. For further information contact James Dowdy at email@example.com.
The Columbus Youth Symphonic Band organization, under the direction of George Edge, includes the premiere wind and percussion students from the greater central Ohio area. The CYSB is proudly sponsored by the CPD at Capital University with additional support from the Conservatory of Music. The ensemble rehearses from 7:00 – 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings beginning several weeks after school begins. The CYSB presents concerts in the Fall and Spring in Mees Hall on the Capital University campus. The CYSB is comprised of 75 musicians and is modeled upon the traditional concert band instrumentation. All sections have student musicians who have achieved a marked level of excellence. It is expected that each member assumes individual responsibility for the quality of performance. The goal of the CYSB is to provide exceptional enrichment experiences for students in grades 10 – 12 and for those students to carry those experiences back to their school band programs. Auditions for the CYSB occur each year during the month of May. Interested students may request a hard copy application through the CPD, or go to the CYSB web page to download the application form. The annual fee is $220.

Meanwhile, NBA commish David Stern and the people who sell all those $85 (and $200) game tickets may have more immediate things to worry about. To wit: The end is near for Michael Jordan. The greatest basketball player in the history of the sport. It's even nearer for the team he led to five league championships in the past seven seasons. Jordan's name and that of the Chicago Bulls are now household words in Bangkok as well as Bangor, but the gospel might not continue to spread.
Will there be life after Mike? Which product of high-powered marketing--Shaq? Grant? Kevin Garnett?--will take on the awesome burden of carrying the NBA's phenomenal success into the new millennium? Or will it require half a dozen new superstars to haul the load? Which team--San Antonio? The Lakers?--can emerge as the next dynasty? Or must the game's gazillion fans content themselves with lukewarm league parity and a traveling trophy?
The answers aren't clear, but most savvy hoop-folk agree on one thing--better make that two things. One: The Denver Nuggets belong in a Tuesday-night gym league. Two: Thanks in part to Scottie Pippen's tantrums against management, this is the year that Da Bulls fall on dere butts and Jordan says goodbye to the Windy City--if not to the game itself. Unsettled and distracted, Chicago is just 9-7 so far, and it has lost three of its first six road games. For the moment, Atlanta (Bonjour, Dikembe), Charlotte and, in particular, the New York Knicks all look like good bets to unseat Michael and Company as the Eastern Conference champion. In the final, the revitalized Lakers might win the whole thing.
Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of conjecture.
But let's not ask All-Star guard Latrell Sprewell (aka the Oakland Strangler) his opinion right now. Last week Sprewell made Dennis "Kick the Photog" Rodman look like a choirboy when he attacked Golden State head coach P.J. Carlesimo at practice, choking him and throwing a punch, then springing off the stool to fight round two twenty minutes later.
Carlesimo's sin? Apparently, the coach had the temerity to offer instruction to his leading scorer during a shooting drill. Hey. When you've got a bank account the size of Latrell's, you don't need any tips. Not even when your team is 1-13.
Anyway, don't look for Sprewell to replace Jordan as the next NBA icon. He's been canned by his team, banned for a year by the league, and cut loose by Converse, whose sneakers he endorsed.
As for Pippen, his constant bitching about how Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and GM Jerry Krause used him as trade bait earlier this year has gotten old with his teammates. Now he demands to be traded. They feel betrayed. And for the time being, Pip's sore foot continues to keep him out of any lineup: It probably won't start to feel better until he takes it out of his mouth.
That's just the start of the trouble in Chicago. By this summer, coach Phil Jackson will be replaced by Iowa State's Tim Floyd; Rodman could be dyeing his coif on Pluto--or in the WNBA; after collecting $33 million this season, Jordan (who's not talking for now) will either sign up for a twilight year or two with a contender or take off for the golf course. The Bulls will have to start anew.
Despite the antics of thugs like Sprewell and nutjobs like Rodman, the game Jordan leaves will--largely because of him--be the undisputed heavyweight champion of U.S. pro sports. Team revenues are fat. TV ratings have gone through the roof. Fans in dozens of other countries are new hoops junkies. And the manufacturers of NBA jackets, caps and sneakers can't turn the stuff out fast enough to supply every hoops-mad kid who wants it.
Commissioner Stern is regarded in most quarters as a creative genius on the order of Leonardo da Vinci, and his Mona Lisa is Jordan. While baseball flounders and even the tough guys of the NFL are starting to wonder where the next generation of fans is going to come from, basketball flies high above the sporting crowd. It's almost as if everyone's forgotten that a couple of guys named Larry Bird and Magic Johnson had to save the game's bacon less than twenty years ago.
"Michael is bigger than Babe fuckin' Ruth!" the ever-eloquent Charles Barkley has crowed on more than one occasion.
Fine, but now that His Airness is verging into the past tense, the question seems to be: Is the game bigger than Michael fuckin' Jordan?
We'll see. The current momentum may be enough to sustain the NBA's popularity for years, especially if charismatic new stars emerge. Splendid Michael-era veterans like Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing and Barkley have all shined in their time (if all a little less brightly than the man who dominated the game), but it's new blood that's expected to carry the day--in the era of abject greed, uncoachable prima donnas and the subjugation of team play by individual ambition.

Online Homework Assistance
Homework Help Online
Even the best students will struggle with school from time to time. You can take notes and be attentive and somehow when you get home you aren't sure where to start or even what to do with the homework that you have in front of you. This can lead to frustration and the temptation is always to give up. Giving up or just putting the work away with the idea that you'll come back later is tempting, but it is not going to get the work done and when you can't get the work done it is going to be difficult to do well going forward.
Avoiding Frustration with Online Homework Help
Homework is meant to build abilities so that the student is able to master the skills of any given class. When you can't do the homework you are not able to reinforce or build skills. This will lead to failure in the class over time, if one is unable to catch up or able to complete the homework. Yet, just because you aren't sure what to do on your homework when you get home doesn't mean that you need to throw in the towel and accept that you won't do well in a class.
Instead, what you need to do is take advantage of an online homework help service. These services can really help you understand what is expected of you. No matter the subject or the level of study, you will find that the online homework services will be able to walk you through the process one step at a time. You'll be working with educators who work in the field of study where you are having a difficult time, so you know that the information you are getting is true and accurate. Essentially, you have a teacher coming to your home through the internet so that you can be a success.

Over 200 local students were invited to participate in United Way's KidSpree event Sunday.
The event is put on by the San Luis Obispo chapter of United way.
Organizers say 210 kids were paired with a community volunteer and given a $100 gift card to spend on new clothes and supplies for school.
The event is entirely funded by donations from the community and local retailers. It was held at the Kohl's locations in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.
"Going back to school with new clothes, it's about self confidence and building their self-esteem. You know, they get this special time where it's just about them. They meet a caring adult volunteer who helps them pick out whatever they want, and to make sure it's just right for them," said Rachel Cementina, the United Way Project Coordinator.
Cementina says fundraising for the event continues year-round, and they're always in need of volunteers. If you're interested in helping, click here.
United Way has been putting on the KidSpree event since 1997.

Reading Guide
The Serpent's Tale
Ariana Franklin
High in the upper chamber of Wormhold Tower—a monolithic structure located in the countryside of medieval Oxfordshire—a woman lies dying. Having exhausted her prayers to God, the attending nun, Sister Havis of nearby Godstow Abbey, calls for a priest to administer last rites. The dying woman's pathologically devoted servant, Dame Dakers, appeals to a different power to save her master's life, performing a ritual sacrifice to the Devil. But neither God nor the Devil can rescue the woman from an agonizing death, or shield England from the political firestorm that is sure to follow. For the woman writhing in her deathbed is Rosamund Clifford, famed mistress of King Henry II, and her death is no accident. And with Henry's rebellious wife Eleanor freshly escaped from imprisonment, there seems little doubt of the culprit—and little hope of averting a civil war that will tear England to shreds.Ariana Franklin's The Serpent's Tale features the return of Adelia Aguilar, hero of Mistress of the Art of Death. Thanks to her training at the forward-thinking School of Medicine in her native Salerno, Adelia is an alien in medieval England: a skilled forensic investigator in an age of ignorance and superstition, an educated and fiercely independent woman in a culture that considers women little more than property. She is now also the mother of an infant daughter, conceived during her brief but intense love affair with Rowley Picot, the newly appointed bishop of St. Albans. Barred from returning to her native Italy by King Henry himself —who sees her as a valuable, if largely neglected, resource—Adelia has come to feel at home among the fen people of Cambridgeshire. She has also convinced herself that her feelings for Picot have been extinguished, a self-deception that is quickly exposed when the bishop summons her to Cambridge. Adelia initially refuses to answer the call of the man who fathered her child and then retreated into a life of sanctity and celibacy. But Picot's need for her is dire. Only Adelia has the knowledge and skills to prove Eleanor innocent of Rosamund's murder, and only Eleanor's exoneration will prevent Henry from unleashing a torrent of military retribution against her and her nascent army.
The Serpent's Tale broadens the canvas from Adelia's previous adventure, moving the action west to Oxfordshire and interweaving her story with the legendary tale of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Adelia's investigation pits her against obstacles both manmade and natural, including the serpentine labyrinth surrounding Wormhold Tower and the harrowing snowstorm that smothers the countryside after she is captured by Eleanor. Forced to take shelter at Godstow Abbey, Adelia finds herself short on allies and surrounded by threats: the violently bickering factions of Eleanor's mercenary army, the superstitious townspeople who suspect her as a witch, and an assassin who is systematically murdering anyone who might identify him. Desperate to protect her child but also determined to provide justice for the dead, Adelia once again finds herself face-to-face with a killer—and dangerously close to becoming his next victim.
Ariana Franklin, author of City of Shadows, is the pen name of British writer Diana Norman. A former journalist, Norman has written several critically acclaimed biographies and historical novels. She lives in Hertfordshire, England, with her husband, the film critic Barry Norman.
- In what ways has the character of Adelia changed since the events of Mistress of the Art of Death? How do her experiences in the earlier novel inform her actions in The Serpent's Tale?
- Were you familiar with the legend of Henry and Eleanor before reading this book? How does Ms. Franklin's portrayal of them compare to others you have read or seen? Did you learn anything about them that surprised you?
- Sister Havis remarks that the icehouse at Godstow Abbey was built "long before [the abbey's] foundation," quite possibly by the Romans. How do details such as these enrich the storytelling? What other details does the author employ to create a sense of time, place, and history in the novel?
- Some people's names in the novel are pointedly descriptive, such as the ill-humoured mercenary named Cross. What other character names seem intentionally selected in this way? How does this technique assist or enhance the storytelling?
- Much as a modern woman might, Adelia rejects many of the commonly held beliefs of medieval England, such as the inferiority of women and the existence of witchcraft. Are there also ways in which Adelia's thinking seems a product of its time? How do you think she would fare in the modern world?
- In explaining his pious attitude towards his vows, Picot tells Adelia that a bishop is "…a keeper of other people's souls. His own, yours… Adelia, it matters. I thought it would not, but it does." Do you think Adelia is obligated to respect his beliefs? Would you consider it "immoral" if she tried to change his mind?
- Mother Edyve sees the rise of "courtly love" – what we would today understand as romance —as a step towards raising the status of women. Adelia sees it as "a pleasant hypocrisy… Love, honor, respect. When are they ever extended to everyday women?" From today's perspective, whose view do you think has proven more accurate?
- How has Adelia's role as a mother changed her view of the world? Do you think she would have been as personally invested in the fate of a character like Emma Bloat before the birth of her daughter? Overall, is motherhood an advantage or disadvantage for Adelia?

The file size limit for upload is currently at 1.1 Mb. This means that you can upload a 1 Mb file easily but a 1.1 might not take. The limit had been at 4.0 Mb but it dawned on me that we cant maintain it at that level. I used to switch it up to 4 for members back when it was only possible to upload 6 songs per member. The site is currently using 710.08 MB of space and we are allowed to go as high as 1.2 Gb. This means that we have 490 Mb of space left. If we leave the limit at 4 Mb per song 6 new members with 20 songs uploaded would fill the site. Bad things happen if we exceed 1.2 Gb The previous hosting plan was costing us $19.95 per month and only allowed us 800 Mb The current plan we are on costs $26.95 per month and allows us the 1.2 Gb The next plan up is a dedicated server that would allow us 80 Gb. The only problem with that is that it will cost $179.00 per month and we cant afford it right now. I know that this is a bit of a nuisance right now but we need to concentrate on figuring out how to compress sound files. Another option would be to reduce the amount of songs that a member is able to put on his profile. (don't like that idea) I don't know much about recording so it would be great if some of you were to suggest a few ideas. I did notice that if you broadcast a sound file into the chat room and record it at the same time the file size drops by about 75%, and there is not too much of a difference in sound quality. Previous discussion at http://www.harmonicaclub.com/cg...l?topic=A3,4889 All ideas are welcome. ---------------------------------------- Seamus
---------------------------------------- Seamus
seamus i just tried wavepad and was able to reduce the filesize form 3.8 mb to 1.91 mb the only thing i did is i reduced the sample rate down to 16000 and the bitrate down to 62000 using a samplerate of 16000 and a bitrate of 32000 makes the file less then 1 mb small so think the point is when you record a file you have to select a low sample and bit rate usualy all recording programs let you choose different record settings http://www.ftp-harp-space.wicke...inal%20Size.mp3 and http://www.ftp-harp-space.wicke...%2032000bit.mp3 [ Edited: Oct-17-05 1:41pm by Franky ] ---------------------------------------- Franky
---------------------------------------- Franky
You can still keep double the quality of an mp3 bitrate with wma sound files instead, and be even smaller than that. If you're running a computer on Windows, you should be able to play wma as you would an mp3. ---------------------------------------- Ruari
---------------------------------------- Ruari
I've added .wma to the possible file type uploads. ---------------------------------------- Seamus
Yah Franky, and there is not too much of a noticeable difference in quality. From 3.8 Mb down to less than 1 Mb. See folks, it is possible. ---------------------------------------- Seamus

text: The Office: Season 4, also known as the series' most entertaining and consistent season yet: It's bold (one episode chronicles the coke-fueled downfall of a young exec); it's emotional (three couples suffer major breakups); and it's funny (provided you enjoy nipple injuries and feces tossing). But the copious extras on this four-disc set don't follow suit. The ''Writers' Block'' Q&A has long been available on YouTube. And two-plus hours of deleted scenes are a snoozefest, with only scattered, mildly amusing bons mots (e.g., ''We go together like topsoil and manure''). Ditto for the handful of cast and crew commentaries: While we love learning that actor scribe Novak's brother penned the lyrics to the Dunder Mifflin jingle, no one ever needs to hear that Wilson just ate an onion bagel and has ''really bad breath.'' Ever. Season 4: A- Extras: C

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 Tate!
Facts about Tate
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Tate's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This is Tate aka MaterHead. He is a 3 year old grey tabby. He has been fixed and microchipped and is up to date on his shots.He is litterbox trained. Tate loves to cuddle on your feet at night. He likes to run around and play with kids. His favorite time is in the morning when He gets a small spoonful of wet food he talks and talks! He also likes to drink out of the faucet. Tate is always finding a comfortable place to sleep, like in the closet on the shelf or on top of the bookshelves.
Tate's a lover as long as he is the only cat and there are no small dogs around!
To adopt Tate, call 801 458-7938 or 801 644-1445 anytime. If transportation is a problem, I can deliver him. We have no "adoption fees", but donations are gratefully accepted so we can continue to help cats!
Other Pets at Feline Foundation of Utah
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tate, a Washington Terrace 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 Washington Terrace, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Washington Terrace.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Washington Terrace 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 Washington Terrace 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 Washington Terrace paves the way for another one to be saved.
