You're a Saint, HomerBy David K. Li© New York Post, September 8, 2001. At first glance, it would be difficult to confuse Christian-based shows like "Touched By an Angel" or "7th Heaven" with the animated badboy comedy "The Simpsons." But beyond Homer's donut-eating gluttony, Bart's demonic behavior and neighbor Ned Flanders' obsessive evangelical faith lies the most spiritual, religiously inclusive TV show this side of "The 700 Club." That's according to the author of a new book, "The Gospel According to The Simpsons," written by Mark Pinsky, who covers religion for the Orlando Sentinel. Pinsky makes the hard-to-believe-but-well-argued point that "The Simpsons" portrays American religion better than anything else on TV. Not only does religion play a basic role on "The Simpsons," but Pinsky shows how it even addresses the most intricate issues of American spirituality. Homer, according to Pinsky, falls into the classic category of a "folk religion" or "religio-magic" Christian who believes any immediate need can be answered by prayer. Take for example his desire to score tickets to a soldout football game: "God, if you really are God, you'll get me tickets to that game. Why do you mock me O Lord?!" Evangelical Flanders, while unwavering in his faith, can often be bewildered by God's mysterious ways. In one episode, Homer floods the town for a conceptual art project but Ned thinks it's a biblical event. "The Lord has drowned the wicked and spared the righteous," Ned exclaims, only to be confused when he sees Homer row boating by. "Looks like heaven is easier to get into than Arizona State." Rev. Lovejoy and his First Church of Springfield are favorite targets of "The Simpsons." But Pinsky argues that "Simpsons" writers are not attacking people of faith but the institutional excess that often lead to hypocrisy. The church's marquee can often be found with messages such as "Sunday, the Miracle of Shame," "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Salvation," "Private Wedding: Please Worship Elsewhere," or a sermon title like "Evil Women in History, from Jezebel to Janet Reno." Despite the growing influence of the Indian subcontinent and its immigrants to the Western Hemisphere, many within the Judeo-Christian community in America still struggle to grasp or appreciate the Hindu faith. Take, for example, the time Rev. Lovejoy credits the efforts of Jews and Christians on the volunteer fire department that saved Homer's house.Lovejoy overlooks convenience store owner Apu, who points out that he's "Hindu! There are 700 million of us!" In a wonderfully condescending tone, Lovejoy reponds: "Aw, that's super." |

It is a downhill only machine and if you like bikes a lot, then it will probably keep a stupid grin plastered on your face all the way down whatever crazy hills you choose to take it on. It is easier to ride than it looks and is quite stable at high speeds (not sure about the speeds you could achieve at a ski hill, but its worked great for average hills in Wisconsin). There are many ways you could build one of these, this is just one way to get you started." – Link.

Unlisted Brand • AmazonDrops Heni Overnight Regenerating and Repairing Balm • Treatments (Face)

OK, so I've been beavering away to get my 20 reviews just so I can review this and other products. I found this company on the Skin Deep database--everything they make is considered very safe. They use ingredients from the Amazon rainforest. All fair trade and organic, and they are ensuring that local people can earn a living by NOT cutting down trees. How great is that? They have great customer service--I ordered a sample of the Spots Lightening Oil, but something happened with the online order and I wasn't charged shipping, so they emailed me to clear that up, and to reward me for my understanding they told me I could get another sample free, so I chose the Heni Anti-Aging Balm. I LOVE IT!
The ingredients list: Wild Harvested/Organic Unrefined butter/oil of Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), Andiroba(Carapa guianensis), Buriti(Mauritia flexuosa), Pracaxi(Pentaclethra Filamentosa), Essential oils of Lavender(Lavandula angustifolia), Lime(Citrus aurantifolia), Geranium Rose(Pelargonium capitatum) and Geranium Bourbon(Pelargonium graveolens).
It has an amazing, citrusy scent. It's sort of expensive in the full size (US$38.95) but you only need to use a little bit at a time, and you wake up with a smooth and dewy face. I've been trying out lots of home treatments, so I can't say definitively that Heni has made THE difference, but it's just a lovely product and the company has such good values and products it deserves to be better known. The Spots Lightening Oil is awfully nice too, and most importantly it does not contain hydroquinone or any other nasty, carcinogenic ingredient.
The website for orders is (weirdly) not at AmazonDrops but at gemzon.com. It's slightly maddening to navigate, and their print catalogue unaccountably does not list ingredients or prices. So, as a shopping experience it is still a little rough around the edges, but I love my Heni balm and will order the full size, together with some of their fabulous looking lip balms and maybe a cleansing bar or two. If you want to do some good while getting beautiful, I seriously recommend them!!

Tennessee had used a 6-0 run to break a 7-7 tie and take a 13-7 lead when a play that eventually led to associate coach John Robic's ejection happened Saturday. A ball was pinned against the rim on Tennessee's end and the possession arrow showed the ball went to Tennessee even though it should have pointed to Kentucky because the Vols won the opening tip and there had not been a jump ball since then.
Calipari and Robic both tried to point that out to officials, but to no avail. Tennessee guard Skylar McBee hit a 3-pointer to push the lead to 19-10 and it grew to 24-12 when there was a TV timeout at 11:17 of the first half. Calipari again pleaded his case to official Doug Shows and assistant Orlando Antigua stepped between the two. That's when Robic said something to Shows as he was walking away. Shows immediately turned and not only called a technical foul, but ejected Robic from the game.
"They (the officials) got the call wrong. John was disappointed about it. I don't think that he said enough to get tossed, but they did it," Calipari said.
Shows later called a technical foul on Willie Cauley-Stein for something he said on the court in the second half and Archie Goodwin was called for a technical foul for shoving a Tennessee player in the back after he was shoved first.
Calipari would not elaborate any more on the officiating.
"You can never blame it on the refs. This is all on us," Kentucky's Kyle Wiltjer, who scored a team-high 15 points, said.

Welcome to the 4th Annual AQS Anime 2009 Year End Awards.
Rules: Rule 1. Only Anime from the Fall 2008, Winter 2008/2009, Spring 2009, and Summer 2009 Anime are eligible. Rule 2. When voting, you may choose up to 3 choices for each category. Voting is decided on a Point System, so choose your Votes Wisely. Rule 3. Voting will end at Midnight on December 31st. Any votes after the 31st are not eligible. Winners will be announced on January 1st. If you wish to change your votes, you may do so, just remember, anything after the 31st isn't eligible. Rule 4. OVA/OAD's are not eligible. Sorry for those who posted their votes before this rule went up...I forgot to add it to the rules apparently. Example on Voting: Anime of the Year Vote 1: Your Choice (3 Points) Vote 2: Your Choice (2 Points) Vote 3: Your Choice (1 Point) If you need help trying to remember anime, or if you want some references for some anime to watch so you can vote, here are some useful links courtesy of Random Curiosity: Fall 2008 Anime: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/09/29...l-2008-preview/ Winter 2008/2009 Anime: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2009/01/03...r-2009-preview/ Spring 2009 Anime: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2009/03/30...g-2009-preview/ Summer 2009 Anime: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2009/06/24...r-2009-preview/ Here are the Categories for this year's awards: Anime of the Year Male Character of the Year Female Character of the Year Best OP Theme Best ED Theme Regarding the Best OP and ED Categories, if an anime has multiple OP's or ED's, be sure you let us know which you're voting for. I suggest typing the name of the OP, with the artist, and what anime it's from. If you can't remember or find the info, just choose "Anime OP1 or OP2". Note: I took it down to 5 Categories this year so that people will vote for more anime. I figured maybe I put too many categories and it made people not want to type so much stuff over and over again. So it's down to 5 in hopes that people will actually choose 3 anime for each category. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post and I'll answer as soon as I can. This post has been edited by Mystic_Vegetto on Dec 1 2009, 04:29 AM |

Wow, I've actually consumed enough series' to just about make a full list of noms. This was a fairly good year for anime (and articles will say the future is looking bad)
Mr Shao-mai raises a good point tho - isn't Haruhi S2 eligible? (though it's not exactly made a positive impact) Anime of the Year 1) Bakemonogatari 2) Toradora! 3) TBF (Haruhi or Hayate) Two clearly above - others in indistinct ranking Male Character of the Year 1) Araragi Koyomi (Bakemonogatari) 2) Ayasaki Hayate (Hayate no Gotoku!!) 3) Kitamura Yuusaku (Toradora!) The snarky, (mostly) healthy teen male and part Vampire. Power levels above! Others are sifted from the rest. Female Character of the Year 1) Senjougahara Hitagi (Bakemonogatari) 2) Kawashima Ami (Toradora!) 3) Aisaka Taiga (Toradora!) It's all about screen presence. Best OP Theme 1) Staple Stable - Chiwa Saito with meg rock (Bakemonogatari OP1) 2) Renai Circulation - Kana Hanazawa with meg rock (Bakemonogatari OP4) 3) Silky Heart - Yui Horie (Toradora! OP2) It's been kinda thin on the OPs. Staple Stable is unmistakably great, the other two are fillers after a relistening session. Best ED Theme 1) Kimishiranai Monogatari (Story that you don't know) - Nagi with Supercell (Bakemonogatari) 2) Orange - Yui Horie, Kugimiya Rie & Kitamura Eri (Toradora! ED2) 3) Karakoi ~Dakara Shoujo wa Koi wo Suru~ (May I be of service? ~That's why the girl falls in love~) - Kugumiya Rie & Shiraishi Ryoko (Hayate no Gotoku!! ED2) #3 just about nosed ahead of Hatsukoi Limited. I seem to have a thing for duets and groups as Orange's #2 demonstrates. I would have voted for Hina's song - but sadly the various versions without the annoying trio aren't technically the ED Don't like Yukiji's version as much tho #1 was an awesome song anyway, but it's Crowning Music of Awesome moment at the end of episode 12 seals the deal. |

Prolly the first time i've posted all year. Anyways my picks are...
Anime of the year - Rated based on how hyped I was for a particular series and how well it kept me excited. Because I dropped Toradora, K-ON and CLANNAD AS, I obviously didn't like them as much as the following 1. Saki 2. Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger 3. Rideback Male Character of the year - No lie, I based this on GAR 1. Mamoru Takamura (Hajame no Ippo) 2. Ryuji Takasu (Toradora) 3. Sunred (Tentai Senshi Sunred) Female Character of the year - No lie, I based this mostly by VA 1. Rin Ogota (Rideback) / voiced by Nana Mizuki 2. Touka Ryumonbuchi (OPPAI! - Saki) / voiced by Minori Chihara 3. Taiga Aisaka (Toradora) / voiced by Rei Kugimiya Best OP - I thought about all the OP songs that were catchy then ranked them on how nice looking the actual OP videos are... 1. Hanaji (Maria Holic) / by Yuu Kobayashi / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOHwVZc6QYY 2. Mizunokuchi Taiyou Zoku (Tentai Senshi Sunred) / by manzo / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgf9TvywrQs 3. Motto☆Hade ni ne (Kannagi) / by Haruka Tomatsu / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbrA2E_yprU Best ED - Same as picking an OP 1. Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (Bakemonogatari) / by SuperCell and nagi / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMV5s_BKzfs 2. Don't Say "LAZY" (K-ON) / by Yoko Hikasa with Aki Toyosaki, Satomi Satou and Minako Kotobuki / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivr8cI11XXM 3. Vanilla Salt (ToraDora) / by Yui Horie / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j00d3SpJlDs This post has been edited by DJcream on Dec 31 2009, 09:23 AM |

Marketing to Multiple Generations
By: Darlene Fiske
Posted: June 16, 2008, from the August 2006 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 3
Ever heard of MySpace.com? Although this Web site appeals to many generations, teenagers take advantage of its message boards and chat rooms most frequently. Learn about this group and how its members interact with others by logging on. Parents of teens also need to be targeted. Parent-and-child savings packages and specific mother-daughter packages are great ways to drive brand loyalty at this very impressionable age. Keep in mind that mom most likely will be footing the bill, so emphasizing added value will be important. Also, the trend in family travel is on the rise. Many spas have incorporated packages and facilities that meet the needs of the entire family. Keep an eye on this trend, and realize the importance of families spending time together in a meaningful and healthy way.
Generation Y
The segment of people born in the 1980s and 1990s generally is considered to be members of Generation Y—this includes the current tween and teen generations. According to MediaPost.com, 49% of Generation Y members have built Web sites, and 25% have their own blogs. This technology-based group communicates differently than generations that preceded them. Think instant messaging (IM), text messaging, blogging and cell phones as the most effective ways of reaching these clients.
Generation X
This group typically is defined as generations born in the late 1960s and 1970s, and is comprised of the children of baby boomers. Because this segment is stuck in the middle of two very appealing markets, many marketers have a stereotypical perception that its members are mostly hippies. As a result of this, Generation X often is overlooked. However, it is important to remember that this group is self-reliant and independent, in the work force, starting families and considered by many to be trendsetters. Meeting the needs of this neglected demographic will create loyal clients.
Baby boomers
Born between 1946 and 1964, during a great increase in this country's birthrate, baby boomers are the most sought-after clients. According to Brent Green, author of the book Marketing to Leading-Edge Baby Boomers (Paramount Market Publishing, 2004), "Consumers over age 50 now hold three-quarters of the country's financial assets. By 2010, nearly 33% of American adults will be over age 40, and they will have nearly $800 billion in combined economic power." What's not to love about this generation? With 10,000 people turning 50 every day, there are daily opportunities to connect with this segment's dreams and goals, and to recognize their accomplishments.
Another trend is the growth of the LOHAS (lifestyles of health and sustainability) market. Among the 55 million American consumers who make up this group, 47% are between 46–64. Eighty-five percent of LOHAS consumers will pay 20% or more for products that are sustainably made. Boomers want to do business with companies that are real and authentic, and that will give something back to their lives and the environment. Many of them are the elders in their families, and are providing financial assistance to children and grandchildren. They are active, intelligent and curious, and several of them are still in the work force. Create new and meaningful experiences for them, and they will respond.

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 Mollie!
Facts about Mollie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Senior
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Mollie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and not good with cats.
Please meet 12 year old Mollie. Her owners seek to find a loving home where she can be an only cat, and live out her life being the center of attention for some lucky family.
They quote:
"Mollie is such a sweet girl and in the right place would be so much happier. I think she is low man in the pecking order and because she is a little calico-ish she is stressed.
> Everything I've tried for her - to lower her stress - hasn't helped so the vet pretty much told me that she needed a couple changes to her life that would make a big difference. One to be an only kitty. The other things to help her would be to get some outside time. I live in a condo and that just isn't safe. The last is having a predominantly wet food diet. She is fine with that and eats just about anything!!
She is a lap cuddler and a chatty little girlie girl who just isn't happy."
They are scheduling a full dental cleaning for her, and she is spayed and up to date with all shots.
Other Pets at AChance4Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mollie, a Moses Lake 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 Moses Lake, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Moses Lake.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Moses Lake 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 Moses Lake 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 Moses Lake paves the way for another one to be saved.

Seatbelts rock! Studies have found that wearing a seatbelt can save your life in the event of an automobile accident. In fact, you are 45 percent more likely to survive a crash if you're wearing a belt. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 5,500 lives could be saved each year by increasing the level of safety belt use in the United States to 90 percent. That is why there are mandatory safety belt laws in 49 states and the District of Columbia. In most states, these laws cover those riding in the front seats, although belt laws in 19 states and the District of Columbia cover all rear seat occupants, too.

I have had passion vines for years and never had a fruit appear until today! Are these edible? If so, how do you know when they are ripe? I have the maypop passionvines. Lots and lots of them, but no cats. I have seen several gulf frits fluttering about and nectaring on the mexican sunflowers, but no eggs or cats.

Yes, Mechelle, they're edible, if you have the patience to squeeze the pulp from the seeds. Sandy linked us to a site that listed the numerous health benefits of passion fruit, so it'd be a good idea to eat or drink some. They're not completely ripe until they fall from the vine. They'll turn a slightly yellowish color before that happens. So, you can watch them closely and pick them when they're about to fall, so that the critters don't get them. Sherry |
- Posted by butterflymomok (My Page) on Tue, Oct 11, 11 at 14:59
The fruit is soft and wrinkled when its ready. I really can't tell a color change, so I just let them fall before collecting them. It's hard to extract the pulp. Directions from off the internet say to boil the seed mass in a small amount of water for 5 minutes and then sieve it. I tried microwaving in a small amount of water, and got the same results. I have my MIL's old sieve that I use. It's a lot of work for such a little bit of juice/pulp. I actually like to just eat the pulp. Just take a bite of the seed mass and suck the gelatinous pulp off of the seeds. The pulp is really sweet on the outside, and a little tart as you get to the seed. You can save the seeds to plant or discard. Some people eat the seeds as well. Tried them--they are hard and have a bit of that passionfruit flavor. Can't really say that I enjoy eating them, but have thought about putting the seeds and pulp in the blender and seeing how that turns out--especially if the seeds are considered edible. Sandy |

I think somebody said the fruit grows slowly?? But I noticed mine getting very large - size of a golf ball. Do they normally produce seed, or this just a particularly good year for them? Another thing I noticed the other day. I was removing the dead blooms - they pretty much just fall off into your hands - but the ones that are going to produce the fruit don't come off with a "tug" like the others. So, it appears that is one way you can tell the difference between the pollinated and unpollinated flowers. Susan |
- Posted by MissButterfly Z8/9MS (My Page) on Tue, Oct 11, 11 at 19:11
Mine get as big as a large or extra-large egg from the grocery store, Susan - most are oval shaped, but a few are round. I don't think that they grow that slowly, considering how many seeds are maturing inside. Not every flower makes a fruit, but every fruit does make seeds. Of course, if caterpillars eat everything up like they did here, you won't have flowers or fruit. :-0 Sherry |
- Posted by susanlynne48 OKC7a (My Page) on Wed, Oct 12, 11 at 6:08
Sherry - trying to get used to using that name instead of "MissSherry"........Mine are perfectly round at this point. That may change. Does anyone know if these are self-pollinating or not? It seems I began to get fruit after the Monarchs showed up and I saw them nectaring on the flowers. The vine bloomed sporadically until the fall weather set in, and then began to really produce a LOT of flowers. I got my plant from Mail Order Natives. Sandy came over one day and said that it did not look quite like the passion vine (incarnata) that grew wild in her area, so I'm not sure if there are variations by geographic location or not, but makes me wonder. It does produce the same flowers, however, IMHO. Without the Gulf Frits this summer, my vine grew totally out of control, consuming nearly everything in its path. Next year, I will keep it under better control. I did pull up suckers that came up everywhere, and it did not come back in those locations where I pulled it up. But, I do have nightmares about my vine from Little Shop of Horrors! I can't wait to taste the fruit! Susan |
- Posted by MissButterfly Z8/9MS (My Page) on Wed, Oct 12, 11 at 10:59
I can't remember if they're self-pollinating or not, Susan, but I know that they do make their own pollen, unlike many hybrids - they may still need an insect to move the pollen from one flower to the other. P. incarnata is known for its many variations. I ordered quite a few vines from a nursery in Tennessee, and the leaves on these vines were all more deeply lobed and thinner than the locals, and the flowers were paler, more "stringy" looking, and, in my opinion, not as pretty as our locals. All these vines eventually died out, not spreading. My locals have spread all over the place, with their thicker, greener leaves. I don't know if there are genetic differences between the vines or if it's just an adaptation to local conditions, you know, the TN vines may look real good in Tennessee, where the climate is different. Some people like the taste of the fruit, others don't - it IS strong! :-0 Sherry |

I love passion fruit! I always got mine from the grocery store. So, I think it is probably a different variety. Recently I went to a restaurant in NYC that makes a passion fruit pavlova. Yum! Martha Stewart got the recipe. I have always wanted to make it. -Elisabeth |
Here is a link that might be useful: Passion fruit pavlova
- Posted by susanlynne48 OKC7a (My Page) on Thu, Oct 13, 11 at 10:20
Mmmmmmm, that recipe looks fantastic, Elisabeth! It calls for "scooping" out the seeds, though, and I am wondering if they were using P. edulis, which is the one that is specifically grown for its fruit, rather than P. incarnata. I'll have to do some research unless somebody already knows the answer to this. I'm going to get out this week and take some photos of my passion vine and the flowers, and if some of us have photos of theirs, we can maybe do a little comparison. Susan |

Have a few people telling me Crab Apple?? I agree with oyou guys thou , from the photos I have looked at , the Persimmon Tree looks very similar to the mystery trees in my back year :) |
Crabapples produce different, up- or outward facing flowers in bunches, like those of orchard apples. The bark pattern is also one you would not expect to see being made by a Malus. |
- Posted by iKandyXotics 8 (My Page) on Wed, May 1, 13 at 15:12
When they produce a lot of fruit, they are also very ornamental once the leaves fall and the hanging fruit is visible on the naked branches. John |
Undoubtedly persimmon. The photos you've posted - with clusters of 2-3 blossoms per leaf axil - are characteristic of a 'male' tree, which will likely produce no fruit. Female flowers are born as solitary blossoms, not in clusters. If one or more of the other 3 persimmons in your yard are 'female', then you'll likely get fruit production on them. |
- Posted by iKandyXotics 8 (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 14:21
Ahh man :*( Then the three rees may be male then :*( Apparently my father-in-law has two in his backyard I havent cked them out yet but , he lives close. Would they be close enough for pollenation? The trees are proabably around 60 foot away? |
- Posted by iKandyXotics 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 20:21
Why would all the blooms fall off ? All three trees did this |
Both males and unfertilized females have no reason to retain the spent blooms. |
- Posted by iKandyXotics 8 (My Page) on Thu, May 23, 13 at 21:37
Uggg :( thanks . Really sucks , I guess they will make great shade trees. |
- Posted by Dzitmoidonc 6 (My Page) on Fri, May 24, 13 at 8:33
Could be all 3 trees are clones. These trees will grow a whole grove from shoots that come up from the roots. This I learned: male flowers, as a rule on Persimmons, are closer together. I went out and checked my trees (not blooming yet, but the buds are there), and they follow this 'rule'. Thanks lucky. |

An extra refresh phase might seem pointless at first, but think about it: You can bring an insane character fully back into action, restore another insane character, exhaust some characters and support cards to utilize their abilities, and they all get to refresh again, right after. Even the domain you drained to gain your extra refresh phase is once again open to use once the effect is complete.
With a good setup, you might even get a little loop out of this, if you can manage to get the event out of your discard pile. Will it take too long to set up and do something meaningful? Maybe you would like another card, then?
Keep The Fires Burning
Would you prefer to draw two cards? Card draw is always a good thing. Extra cards mean extra options, and when you want to create a combo like the one above, you want to dig deep and fast. The Order of the Silver Twilight is rather combo-oriented, so extra card draw is always a plus. A lot of Silver Twilight effects hinge around discard and sacrifice, making card draw doubly important to keep their fires burning.
Additionally, though in the end they may not hold humanity's best interests at heart, the Silver Twilight consists largely of humans. So they're among the factions that favor Investigation over Terror, and they are able to quickly acquire success tokens through the Investigation struggle.
What if your characters could just burn the midnight oil and send in a second wave of people to quickly finish their research? By gaining an additional story phase, and by winning a couple of Arcane struggles, they would be able to really take advantage of an opponent's moment of weakness. It's not above the Order to send in the acolytes to draw in (and exhaust) any opposition, then let the rest mop up the pieces–the old bait and switch routine.
So… what would you like most from your four-cost Silver Twilight card? What if you want to have all of the above?
You're in luck! The Order of the Silver Twilight has been busy in Curse of the Jade Emperor, the second Asylum Pack from the Ancient Relics cycle for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game. Their members have been hard at work, forwarding their Hidden Agenda (Curse of the Jade Emperor, F41) which allows you to repeat any phase.
In the end, it's up to you to find the most insidious way to take advantage of such an apparently innocuous card with a deceptively open-ended effect!
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Asylum Pack expansions to the core game.
Mind-bending card, sounds like it'll take a while to really see everything you can do with this one.
I don't know what's going on in the picture exactly, but it looks more like forced labour mass-production than calligraphy art. The fact they don't use quills but brushes makes me think it's not Chinese or a similar language.
@ sepayne7l,as a graphical possibility, yes, for Chinese, Korean and Japanese. As a widespread (or dominant) usage is much later than the 1920s (1956 for China, and the first Korean newspaper to adopt horizontal script did so in 1988) I keep wanting to photoshop writing brushes over the quills anyway.
Forgive me, I'm a sinologist in RL. The card itself has great potential, I think.
If you really wanted to get technical, Korean can be left to right or vertical (at least according to one of my mangas and wikipedia).
Either way, kind of a cool card. Silver Twilight is looking fun.
@ jhaelen, Lol! I should have considered the possibility.
"Sorry, since this has nothing to do with game mechanics and playability, but are those folks writing Chinese with goose quills and in horizontal lines, left to right?"
Well, obviously these are contrarian cultists, worshippers of unspeakable entities. Not only do they speak backwars in a multitude of tongues, they are also writing backwards - or maybe they are even 'unwriting' ;-)
Hidden Agenda certainly gets my creative juices flowing. I'm pretty sure the card means trouble... Too bad it's a Loyal card :-(
As was noted in the forum, for example repeating the Refresh Phase can be devastating (and can create an infinite loop if you can get Hidden Agenda back in hand).
Sorry, since this has nothing to do with game mechanics and playability, but are those folks writing Chinese with goose quills and in horizontal lines, left to right? Talk about suspension of disbelief...
This card seems like it has some amazing potential!


text: WEST LINN - Brian Keith CHARLESWORTH, age 54, of Fairview, was arrested Monday near West Linn City Hall after Officer Vinnie Moreschi observed Mr. Charlesworth driving erratically in a road construction area. He drove out of line nearly striking a construction flagger, running over cones, and tearing up newly laid asphalt. Mr. Charlesworth sped into the parking lot near City Hall, spinning and smoking his tires, nearly striking two pedestrians. He slammed his pickup truck into reverse, again spinning and smoking his tires, sliding backwards into a handicap parking space. Officer Moreschi stopped in front of Mr. Charlesworth's vehicle as he was walking away, ordering him to stop. Mr. Charlesworth cursed at Officer Moreschi telling him to leave him alone. The officer didn't accept that response. Charlesworth eventually produced a driver's license, and again walked away toward a doctor's appointment. The officer ordered him to stop. Mr. Charlesworth refused and continued on to the doctor's office, telling Moreschi to arrest him or leave him alone. Officer Moreschi placed Mr. Charlesworth under arrest as he approached the receptionist at the doctor's office. He was taken into custody without further incident. When questioned about what took placed, Mr. Charlesworth was belligerent, claiming he "accidentally missed" the persons he endangered, saying he missed them by 10 feet. Mr. Charlesworth was lodged at the Clackamas County Jail on charges of Reckless Driving and Reckless Endangering. Mr. Charlesworth has previous convictions for Assault, Eluding Police – Vehicle, and DUII. Other charges are pending. Contact Info: Detective Sergeant Dave Kempas 503-655-6214 ext 4411

- Location: Gent (Belgium)
ITER and future superconducting fusion machines need efficient wall conditioning techniques for routine operation in between shots in the presence of permanent high magnetic field for wall cleaning, surface isotope exchange and to control the in‐vessel long term tritium retention. Ion Cyclotron Wall Conditioning (ICWC) based on the ICRF discharge is fully compatible and needs the presence of the magnetic field. The present paper focuses on the principal aspects of the ICWC discharge performance in large‐size fusion machines: (i) neutral gas RF breakdown with conventional ICRF heating antennas, (ii) antenna coupling with low density RF plasmas and (iii) ICWC scenarios with improved RF plasma homogeneity in the radial and poloidal directions. All these factors were identified as crucial to achieve an enhanced conditioning effect (e.g. removal rates of selected "marker" masses). All the observed effects are analyzed in terms of RF plasma wave excitation/absorption and compared with the predictions from 1‐D RF full wave and 0‐D RF plasma codes. Numerical modeling and empirical extrapolation from the existing machines give good evidence for the feasibility of using ICWC in ITER with the main ICRF antenna.

text: Pontiac, MI -- Standard and Poor's has reaffirmed Oakland County's AAA bond rating on the heels of Moody's Investors Service awarding the county its highest bond rating. This latest bond issuance will fund $2.5 million of improvements in various Oak Park municipal buildings - saving taxpayers money by financing the bonds at the lowest market rate."Oakland County's AAA bond rating enables our cities, villages and townships to fund capital projects at the lowest financial market rates," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. "This latest AAA is the result of the county's thoughtful, long-term budgeting practices."Standard and Poor's continues to award Oakland County its highest bond rating in spite of southeast Michigan's economic challenges because of the county's three-year budgeting practices and job creation and retention initiatives such as Emerging Sectors which diversify the county's economic base. The bond rating firm also gave Oakland County a stable outlook."The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the rating will not change within a two-year horizon because we believe Oakland County will take the steps necessary to maintain its strong financial operations and reserves despite anticipated drops in taxable value," Standard and Poor's said.The Oakland County Building Authority Bonds, Series 2011 will go on sale December 15, 2011. Since 1998, Oakland County taxpayers have saved millions of dollars because of the county's AAA bond rating.For media inquiries only, please contact Bill Mullan, Media and Communications Officer, at 248-858-1048.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 ADONAI said to Noach, "Come into the ark, you and all your household; for I have seen that you alone in this generation are righteous before me. | 1 The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. |
2 Of every clean animal you are to take seven couples, and of the animals that are not clean, one couple; | 2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, |
3 also of the birds in the air take seven couples - in order to preserve their species throughout the earth. | 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. |
4 For in seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; I will wipe out every living thing that I have made from the face of the earth." | 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." |
5 Noach did all that ADONAI ordered him to do. | 5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. |
6 Noach was 600 years old when the water flooded the earth. | 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. |
7 Noach went into the ark with his sons, his wife and his sons' wives, because of the floodwaters. | 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. |
8 Of clean animals, of animals that are not clean, of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, | 8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, |
9 couples, male and female, went in to Noach in the ark, as God had ordered Noach. | 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. |
10 After seven days the water flooded the earth. | 10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. |
11 On the seventeenth day of the second month of the 600th year of Noach's life all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the sky were opened. | 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. |
12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights. | 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. |
13 On that same day Noach entered the ark with Shem, Ham and Yefet the sons of Noach, Noach's wife and the three wives of his sons accompanying them; | 13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. |
14 they, and every animal of every species, all the livestock of every species, every animal that creeps on the ground of every species, and every bird of every species - all sorts of winged creatures. | 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. |
15 They went in to Noach in the ark, couples from every kind of living thing that breathes. | 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. |
16 Those that entered went in, male and female, from every kind of living being, as God had ordered him; and ADONAI shut him inside. | 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. |
17 The flood was forty days on the earth; the water grew higher and floated the ark, so that it was lifted up off the earth. | 17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. |
18 The water overflowed the earth and grew deeper, until the ark floated on the surface of the water. | 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. |
19 The water overpowered the earth mightily; all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered; | 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. |
20 the water covered the mountains by more than twenty-two-and-a-half feet. | 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. |
21 All living beings that moved on the earth perished - birds, livestock, other animals, insects, and every human being, | 21 Every living thing that moved on the earth perished--birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. |
22 everything in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life; whatever was on dry land died. | 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. |
23 He wiped out every living thing on the surface of the ground - not only human beings, but livestock, creeping animals and birds in the air. They were wiped out from the earth; only Noach was left, along with those who were with him in the ark. | 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. |
24 The water held power over the earth for 150 days. | 24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days. |

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 Birdie!
Facts about Birdie
- Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Black - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Birdie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Came to us with her best friend Flo. Bird and Flo's owner came on tough times and had to surrender them both to the City of Windcrest. They both lived happily in a home with other dogs and cats. Bird is super sweet and submissive. She is good inside or out, she is crate trained, perfect for the older family who doesn't want to raise a puppy with all of its housebreaking and chewing.
Other Pets at 4dogsakes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Birdie, a san antonio Australian Cattle Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog for sale in san antonio, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog dog from a breeder in san antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in san antonio 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 san antonio 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 Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in san antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

UK & World News
Huge Asteroid Hurtles Past Earth In Video
A cloudy night across Britain did not deter stargazers from catching a rare glimpse of an asteroid the size of three double-decker buses flying close to Earth.
At its closest, Asteroid 2014 DX110 flew 216,000 miles (348,000km) from Earth - even closer than initial estimates and within the orbit of our Moon.
The 30m-wide (100ft) asteroid flew past Earth - reaching its closest point at 9.58pm on Wednesday - at a speed of more than 31,000mph (50,000 kph).
The cloudy conditions meant many astronomers endured a disappointing evening, but veteran amateur astronomer Peter Birtwhistle managed to capture footage of the space rock through the clouds.
His video footage shows it passing over - the white shading is cloud cover.
Speaking from his home observatory in Great Shefford, Berkshire, he said of the sighting: "We were lucky to catch it through the clouds but it was great to pick it up and see it fly through the field of view.
"You'll get the opportunity to see something as close as this a few times a year if you are lucky."
As well as Wednesday's event, scientists are looking forward to another surprise asteroid.
Nasa telescopes have spotted another two space rocks heading towards Earth over the next 24 hours.
One will pass five times closer than Wednesday's asteroid and is expected to be on show on Thursday evening.
Mr Birtwhistle said: "It's a busy time up there and I just hope the clouds clear so we can enjoy these rare sights."

Radical Visions Part 2
The second art preview for The Radical's Handbook |
Dark Heresy | Published 30 June 2009 |
Greetings Dark Heresy fans!
This week concludes the art previews for The Radical's Handbook, a new sourcebook for Dark Heresy that delves into the depths of the Radical factions of the Inquisition. These passionate servants of the Imperium stray from the Puritan path to take up the tools of Chaos, Aliens, and Heretics to use against them. Below, you will find a selection of images from this book to help illustrate this concept.
First, we have an image of a Heretek, steeped in the arcane mysteries of Tech-heresy.
Second, we have an image of a shadow operative in the Radical factions.
Third, we present a glimpse at a Calixian faction of Radical Inquisitors known as the Phaeninites.
Fourth, we have an image of a Radical Throne Agent caught between two masters.
Last, we have an image of a Radical Inquisitor carrying out an execution of an Acolyte who simply knew too much...
The Next Step
In future installments, I will be delving into the shadowy corners of The Radical's Handbook to provide a few more clues and details about the contents of this massive tome. Until then, may the light of the Golden Throne show you the way!
Dark Heresy is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Acolytes serving the Inquisition, rooting out heresy and corruption from within the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man.
Yeah, I agree. This news article is about ARTWORK. NOT rules(which, I'm pretty sure there is a sizeable ammount. And when they want you to see some of it, I'm sure they will.) I think impatience breeds frustration, sometimes. And frustration sometimes leads to anger. But I will take this article for what it IS...a nice bunch of Dark Heresy pics that were not here yesterday. Thanks Ross, and I look forward to any future info on these and any other future publications.
The average RPG sourcebook contains a single quarter-page piece of art every four pages, on average. What we've seen is a grand total of two small previews so far is enough to cover that average for 40 pages...
Assuming the book is 128 pages long (a low estimate, to be on the safe side), that means that we've seen enough art to fill maybe a third of the book, which works out as maybe two and a half pages of content so far... less than 2% of the book by page space.
I think it's a little early for snotty comments and overdramatic declarations of dislike for the entire product.
I am still holding out for something for the Xenos Hybris, namely a playable xenos.
Yeah, Ross, thanks for saving me some money. I was under the mistaken impression that this was going to be a rule book, not an art book.
You will let us know if you're going to produce more rules supplements for Dark Heresy?
Some of the illo's titles seem kinda silly &, women ops with stilettos?? Another geeky dream fulfilled, I guess.
First Option, they now have showed my any "big picture" in the book
Second Option, the whole afair is more "art book" then "rule book".
Anyhow, while the first series was interesting, this one is not. At least not to me

Management Sponsored by
Finances have been extremely tight for many spas and medical esthetic practices during the past few years; there is only so much cutting back businesses can do to successfully and profitably operate. Instead of making cuts here and there, it may be time to find a cost-effective strategy that will have owners, managers and spa professionals jumping for joy. With today's technological advances, software systems can provide you and your clients with the right tools for the right price.
Many spa owners may wonder how utilizing a software system will help them become more successful. Software systems help owners and their team members save tremendous amounts of time, and allow them to run more efficient businesses. See Spa Software's Top Features. By taking online appointments, calculating payroll, keeping track of inventory, storing clients' personal information and much more, spa professionals have a greater amount of time to focus on their clients, ensuring satisfaction and return visits.
"It's quick! Just click! That's our motto at Parisian Spa," notes Linda Fontenot, owner of Parisian Spa in Jacksonville, Florida. "Having a spa software program has helped us stay organized. Our inventory has recently grown with our new retail products, and the spa software automatically alerts us when inventory is low. As the owner, this is extremely cost-effective because I know what retail products are popular, and I know when to reorder. Plus, the software system helps us keep track of gift cards. Our clients also love it, especially if they lost the original card, because the system keeps a record of all of their information."
Organization. As important as clients are, many other elements go into profitably running a spa, some of which can be more costly than others. When paperwork is organized, filed and managed by different team members who all use different methods, things can—and do—get lost in the mix, often resulting in errors. By introducing a software system, owners become better equipped to run a more organized service and retail business. A more prepared and structured business has the foresight to identify areas where money, time and inventory can be organized, evaluated and structured to provide a positive overall outcome.
Finances. Many software systems contain features that help with payroll, commission and hourly wages. The old days of manually punching numbers into a calculator are over. There is no need to re-do or re-check numbers and statements, and these special features also help with tax deductions while calculating employees' hourly wages and overtime payments. Spa software performs all the calculations, and can save a valuable amount of time for busy owners, while ensuring much higher accuracy.

[1194] Do Deeper Sections Increase the Yield of Detection of Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma (STIC) in the "Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End" (SEEFIM) Protocol?
Etienne Mahe, Shangguo Tang, Pratima Deb, Alice Lytwyn, Monalisa Sur, Dean Daya. McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Background: Several studies have demonstrated an association between STIC and pelvic (i.e. ovarian, endometrial and peritoneal) serous carcinoma. It has been suggested that the adoption of the SEEFIM protocol should enhance the detection of STIC since it allows for the histomorphological evaluation of the entire fallopian tube with added emphasis on the fimbrial mucosa. To our knowledge, however, no study has yet examined the potential effect of deeper level H&E sections of the entire fallopian tube on the yield of STIC from a sample of salpingectomies associated with ovarian, endometrial and peritoneal serous carcinomas.
Design: Two deeper level H&E sections were cut from all blocks of the entirely submitted fallopian tubes (as per the SEEFIM protocol) and were reviewed by a panel of expert gynaecological pathologists. The 55 cases from which these deeper sections were obtained were initially diagnosed as STIC-negative serous carcinomas of ovarian, endometrial and primary peritoneal origin. These cases were part of a larger study of the frequency of STIC in 300 consecutive bilateral salpingectomies of which 67 were associated with serous carcinoma of the ovary, endometrium or peritoneum. Of these 67 cases, 12 had shown STIC and 55 were negative.
Results: Four additional cases of STIC were identified. All four STICs were intratubal without involvement of the fimbriae. No additional cases of STIC were identified in those cases associated with an endometrial serous carcinoma.
Cases of Serous Carcinoma | Associated Salpingectomy Specimens | |||
Primary Site | Number | Number of cases with STIC by single H&E (%) | Number of additional cases in which STIC was found on deeper sections | Total Number of cases with STIC (%) |
Ovary | 32 | 6 (19) | 3 | 9 (28) |
Endometrium | 28 | 4 (14) | 0 | 4 (14) |
Peritoneum | 7 | 2 (29) | 1 | 3 (43) |

Range Rover and Aznom craft a special Evoque for Bollinger champagne
Still think drinking and driving don't mix? Well you're right. They don't. But every once in a while something comes along to make us rethink that rift. Like that set of radiator decanters, those Alfa Romeo and Lancia wines, Krug's 1979 Rolls-Royce panel wagon or really any racing car bearing the Martini livery. Or this special one-off Range Rover Evoque.
Crafted by the British luxury SUV brand in collaboration with Italian customizers Aznom, this unique Evoque features a wine-red paintjob with bronze trim and a mate black roof, with an interior bathed in cream leather. It was made for the champagne house Bollinger for the 2012 Vinitaly wine festival, and will accompany a Luxury Lounge motorhome across Europe to promote Bollinger and its fine bubblies. Of course, if your home town is not on its route, you can always check it out in the high-res image gallery for a closer look.

MeltDose® Technology PlatformThe company's proprietary MeltDose technology enables the formulation and drug delivery attributes of the Envarsus® product candidate. MeltDose enhances the bioavailability of compounds with low water solubility, supporting the creation of improved versions of marketed drugs. MeltDose has been validated in clinical studies and received regulatory acceptance through the FDA approval of Fenoglide for sale in the United States. The fundamental limiting factor for oral absorption of drugs with low water solubility is the transfer of drug substance particles to dissolved molecules that can penetrate the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract and enter into the bloodstream. The majority of conventional drug delivery technologies aimed at increasing bioavailability of compounds with low water-solubility rely on reduction of the particle size of the drug substance – thereby increasing the surface area available for the dissolution process. Veloxis believes that the company's proprietary MeltDose technology provides a novel drug formulation technology that produces improved bioavailability of compounds with low water-solubility by solubilising them and incorporating the drug substance into a melted vehicle which is then sprayed onto a carrier. The result of this process is a granulate. The drug substances are solubilised in low-melting vehicles such as PEG, poloxamers or lipids; all of which are so-called GRAS (generally recognised as safe). This process can be conducted under controlled atmosphere (nitrogen) in order to avoid degradation processes such as oxidation. The solubilised drug in this melted vehicle is transformed into solid particles by being sprayed under controlled conditions onto an inert carrier in a fluid bed. From the resulting granulate, known as a solid solution or solid dispersion, tablets can be manufactured by way of direct compression. Potential clinical benefits of the company's proprietary MeltDose technology Veloxis believes that the MeltDose technology, which forms the basis of the Envarsus® product candidate, may offer several meaningful clinical benefits, including but not limited to:

Today we have the third post in the Campus Point Person guest blogger series. Today's post is brought to you by Roseline Nwaubani, the Campus Point Person for Georgia Southwestern State University. She will be giving you three reasons to join ScholarshipPoints!
Top three reasons why students should join Scholarship Points
1) No GPA Required: Many students I know want to apply for scholarships both online and with their school, but due to the fact that their GPA is not up to standards they miss out. This causes a lot of students to have a hard time focusing on their academics. Students drop out of school because they have no money to pay for fees. Today I bring to all the students good news that ScholarshipPoints is the site that you have been looking for. No GPA is required for you to apply for ScholarshipPoints scholarships.
2) No Essay Required: Students don't love writing essays for school or for scholarships. Sometimes this causes students to not even apply at all. Have you been thinking of how to write your essay in order to apply for a scholarship? Well think no more because I bring to you a scholarship that you can apply for with no essay needed. Your prayers have been answered so hurry and sign up for ScholarshipPoints!
3) Easy to apply: Have you been thinking about how to apply for a scholarship because it is too time consuming? Well think no more because ScholarshipPoints is easy. It doesn't take you more than 10 minutes to sign-up and you are done.
Those are my top three reasons why I think students should join ScholarshipPoints. Always remember that I said no GPA required, no essay and it is easy to join. I encourage students today to register for ScholarshipPoints. You will not regret it!
