Hey guys, there are 4... 4 weeks left until summer, I am counting down the days, I have two essays due again, I always have two essays due in the same week; I did 8 pages yesterday and this morning on Cyber Bullying, don't do it; and then I have to do 5 pages later for my Ethics class on the anthropocentric and biocentric approaches to looking at environmental issues; yeah, doesn't that sound fun? This Thursday, I have my first count in campus activities board, shadowing types because, yeah, I'm Late Night's director for the next year which if you don't know what that means, Late Night's is kind of like an open mic thing downstairs, below the... We have like a main cafeteria and then we also have like a lounge-ish area, and there's like a fireplace not too far from our little bookstore, and it's nice; and then it has coffee so it's kind of like a coffee lounge-ish place and people play like acoustic music or occasionally a metal band but that happened like once and it was not fun for most people but it was interesting, it was interesting. I don't know, I've just been doing a lot of stuff lately and I think I'm kind of getting sick, and that's not fun, I have a sore throat. Also, when you're on public transportation, use Purell as much as you can 'cause I left my bottle like a week ago and I think that's why I'm sick, it's really nasty; and today, I didn't even run because I'm sick and I feel disgusting but on Saturday, I ran 6 miles which is awesome, I'm just trying to stay healthy and active and keep my priorities straight, not let space get to you, yeah, I'm sorry I'm like delirious. I guess I'll see you next time, that's all for now.

September Issue 2012 Covers
Here Come the September Issues (New!)
It's the most wonderful time of the year: covers for the September 2012 issues are starting to trickle in, and the images on them are as captivating as expected.
As reported previously, Victoria Beckham is featured on the cover of Glamour, on which she wears little other than a tiara and the frothy bubbles from a bath. Katy Perry, clad in a pink Bottega Veneta dress and purple hair, is on the cover of Elle. Karlie Kloss has two September covers to her name this year: she's on the front of both Vogue UK (in printed pieces from Jonathan Saunders) and Vogue Japan (in one of the last garments Stefano Pilati designed for Yves Saint Laurent). Vanity Fair used a paparazzi photo of Kate Middleton, who it recently named to its International Best Dressed List, on its September style issue.
A look at those exciting covers, plus others that have debuted so far, here in the gallery.

Flight just announced their "Print on Demand" (POD) update recently. Does this mean that the PDF expansions may possibly be implemented in this new feature? In other words, would the add-ons be printed as an actual mini product instead of having to download?
Print On Demand

Posted 11 April 2011 - 03:39 PM
I too would like to know if PoD is going to spread to other games like Thieves.
Posted 29 April 2011 - 06:57 PM
I would also like to have the mini-expansions printed on proper cardboard.
Posted 24 June 2011 - 11:18 AM
Old Thread but seeing that MoM just got a PoD Expansion I hope that FFG does consider the Cadwallon PnP stuff as a PoD.

Posted 10 July 2011 - 09:55 AM
I agree w/ the other posts. It beats having to print my own cards and whatnot. I can never get them to come out right, for some reason.
Posted 28 November 2011 - 04:58 AM
I also would like to see a PoD version of the CCoT extras. I purchased the PoD for Death Angel and they were of great quality.
Posted 07 May 2012 - 01:53 PM
You can count my vote for PoD stuff for City of Thieves too! Hate that the pdf files have to be downloaded and printed myself as they seem tailor made for this service. I get the MoM stuff when it comes out and it has been consistently excellent. Any chance of this happening FFG?
Posted 09 May 2012 - 09:32 PM
Would also be interested in PoD Cadwallon material.

At Matthews Salon Spa, the staff strives to care for each client's whole self, meaning services work to nurture the body and spirit in addition to merely beautifying skin or hair. Using environmentally friendly Aveda products derived from plants and flowers, the staff cuts, colors, and treats hair as if it were the hair of their favorite news anchor. Spa facials, such as the self-renewal facial, rejuvenate skin while also integrating a foot and scalp treatment, and the staff also pampers clients with massages and spa packages.
Hands On Wellness Massage's licensed massage therapist utilizes her medical background and more than 1,000 hours of training as she alleviates aches and pains from weary muscles. An array of therapeutic techniques based on Swedish massage methods begin each appointment, soothing exterior muscles with broad, sweeping strokes and pats with the latest IKEA catalog. Pressure increases as muscles gradually relax, allowing the technician's nimble fingers to hone in on lingering knots and stubborn pains lurking in necks, shoulders, backs, arms, legs, and auras. Deep-tissue massages target tendons and delicate connective fibers between the muscles, relaxing musculatures, releasing painkilling endorphins, and bolstering flexibility. Soft, tranquil music wafts over the private treatment room, where mauve walls surround a cozy massage table swathed in white linens embroidered with the initials of clients' seventh-grade crushes.
Blue Salon & Spa's aestheticians and team of master and associate stylists spruce up lethargic locks with flattering cuts and beautify appearances with an array of services. As an Aveda Lifestyle Salon and Spa, Blue Salon & Spa offers dazzling color retouches from associate designers starting at $45, with touch-ups from rainbow-harnessing master designers starting at $55. Slake your angry scalp with a Damage Remedy hair and scalp renewal ($45) or rid your main mane of greasy strands and dandruff drifters with a cleansing shampoo and blow-dry ($35+). Body-waxing services whip bewhiskered dermises into shape for the skin-baring months of summer. Expel back-fur and chest vests with waxes ($45+), and strut about confidently in a swimsuit with a bikini wax ($35+).
Though Miracles' quirky and diversely talented staff of stylists, massage therapists, and aestheticians aims to lift patrons' spirits with beauty transformations, their work did not wholly inspire the salon's name—the beauty sanctuary's original location was inside an old church. Owner Kendalia Edelman has since expanded her business into a larger location, enabling her to add an area for laser treatments that target everything from excess hair to leg veins. She also found space for Little Miracles, a separate salon where kids up to age 9 can get haircuts with supervision from parents and invisible friends moonlighting as style consultants.
The chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists who make up Back N Touch Wellness Center's core staff share an appreciation for holistic remedies and an understanding that no two bodies are alike. These mutual tenets form the basis for all of the center's personalized treatments, which cater to patients ailing from body aches, migraines, pregnancy side effects, and the lingering effects of mechanical-bull rides.
Chiropractors combine hand and instrument adjustments with flexion and drop-table equipment to straighten crooked vertebrae, and massage therapists manipulate muscle fibers with 11 different modalities. Acupuncturists rely on the ancient principles of Chinese medicine as they insert hair-thin needles at the body's trigger points, stimulating natural healing responses and popping the balloons at convivial toxin get-togethers.
Floor-to-ceiling windows spill sunlight across Liz Lanza's contemporary salon, splashing golden rays over high-vaulted ceilings and the sleek track lighting that takes its place once the sun goes down. The day-spa area provides a tranquil retreat where clients can disappear for a focused energy treatment such as the Amethyst quartz-covered Biomat surface, which emits healing far-infrared rays and negative ions that scare ailments away with pessimistic comments on life. Spa-goers can also slide beneath the white linens of a treatment bed as an aesthetician coaxes radiant skin to the surface with traditional European facials and technologically enhanced treatments including Bio-Ultimate Facelift, a combination of microcurrent's low level energy and the collagen-stimulating infrared rays of an LED photofacial rejuvenation treatment.

Jun 7th 2011 8:27AM On my server there is a particular corner in Stormwind that I am known for occupying. I log all my toons in and out there and people have come to expect me to be there.

My vanity tower should be 24" wide by 15 " deep . I haven't decided on the height yet . It wil centered between the double sinks with 2 doors . The question is should I make it to open in the middle as one cabinet , or should I make it as 2 separate cabinets so the doors will open opposite to each other ? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mydreamhome (My Page) on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 3:29
If you open in the middle, the entire interior width of the cabinet is available for use. To make the doors open opposite each other (hinged in the middle), you would end up with 2 separate, but narrow spaces and likely have to use 2 cabinets butted up to each other which will increase your costs (cheaper to build/buy 1-24" cabinet than 2-12" cabinets). With all that being said, I'd go for opening in the middle. If you want separation, you can always add an interior divider later and you can decide on which individual shelves you want the divider to be located. Hope this helps! |
Definitely, have it open in the middle as one cabinet. Are you thinking of having two separate 12" towers? I would not do that, you'll be wasting a lot of space, and I'm sure it would be way more expensive. If not, I don't really understand the question, because isn't there only one way to have a 2 door cabinet? |
Thank you mydreamhome and raehelen for your feedback . Yes Raehelen i was considering having 2 separate towers attached to each other , so I will have mine and my husband has his , and each one will open it his side , like the tower I am copying off of houzz . However , as you said it will take away from the space and will be more expensive . I will just stick with one tower opening in the middle. Thank you again. |
- Posted by catbuilder (My Page) on Sat, Apr 27, 13 at 17:24
Why don't you have one cabinet with two doors, with the hinges in the middle of the cabinet? Then you both can easily access your own side of the cabinet without having to reach around an open door. The hinges mount at the top and bottom of the cabinet, rather than to a side of the cabinet. |
Thank you catbuilder that is a good idea , I like it a lot . I was really bothered by the idea of going around the opened door . I'll tell my contractor to do That on Monday . |

Fr-Audley's managed to jeopardise British boxing
THIS week, ahead of tonight's British and Commonwealth challenge against David Price, Audley Harrison declared that he's been "living a lie" for the last 12 years.
Cheers, mate! Over the past decade, the 2000 Olympic gold medallist has done as much as anybody to jeopardise professional boxing in Britain.

Winds: West 11
On Aug. 7, the first day of school on a Thursday, while new freshmen at McIntosh were cautiously feeling their way through the social minefield of high school, the girls on the Lady Chiefs softball team had a different focus since their first game was just one week away. Read More»
For a few special moments recently I was back in the America I used to know.
Saturday I indulged in an overpriced but warm bag of popcorn, slathered in a chemical liquid that is probably carcinogenic but the movie theater staff call it "butter," along with a half-gallon diet drink only a movie theater would size as "medium" and charge $5.50. Read More»
Last Friday we celebrated with parades and fireworks the anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's masterful 1776 Declaration of Independence, a timeless document that informed the world of our inherent right to abolish a royal ruling class and to govern ourselves.
That 240-year-old document has inspired other revolutions of self-determination, but the world has changed a great deal. How relevant to our lives today were the events of the late 18th century that gave our country birth? Read More»
Sometimes, doing nothing is wise, as I was reminded by the news from Iraq. You may think this hawk is sprouting the wings of a dove, but the murdering army of Islamic lunatics raging across Iraq is no reason for the U.S. to dive into that snake pit again.
If you wonder whether President Obama makes military decisions based on domestic political polls, just chew for a moment on his bifurcated announcement he is sending 300 advisors to Iraq, while quickly adding in self-defense for all the world to hear that America will not send troops to put boots on the ground in Iraq.

Those of you old enough to have loved the hapless deputy might bristle at the insult of comparing Barney Fife to President Barak Obama. An insult to Barney, that is.
The latest self-inflicted White House wound is the bumbling President Barney's swap of five high-level enemy Taliban leaders held at Gitmo for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, held by the Taliban for five years, and the clearly unsuitable White House Rose Garden press event to celebrate. Read More»
If you ever wondered how Pee Wee Herman would perform as President of the United States, well, now you know.
With the background ooompah music of the circus calliope wearing on nerves, acrobats and clowns would perform their absurd routines to entertain crowds seeking diversion from the real world.
Sounds a lot like the Obama administration's fumbling national security issues while the mainstream media dutifully diverts the public from our own leadership failures. Read More»
Since 9-11 we have asked a great deal of our all-volunteer military. Over a decade of deployments to war zones make our present force the most combat-experienced ever, but sending individual troops on three, four, five or more combat tours levies immeasurable cost to them and their family.It should be no surprise that we have a spike in the number of veterans with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) issues and traumatic brain injury (TMI), wounds that are not outwardly visible, and sometimes the care they receive just isn't enough.

You may not like my take on last week's winter storm debacle.
On Tuesday afternoon, the winter storm stranded drivers in and around Atlanta for untold hours in gridlocked traffic as they tried to rush home, marooning many in their cars overnight with countless kids unexpectedly stuck in schools overnight because the roads were impossibly clogged.
Even in quiet little Peachtree City, my daughter's 10-minute drive home from McIntosh High School took her nearly two hours. Read More»
I want to tell you three things about honoring those who serve our country in uniform.
First, Peachtree City's own Mimi Gentilini has a long record of supporting our deployed troops. I remember a number of years her restaurant staff gathered donations in cash and in kind, and loaded up an SUV to the gills with goodies, to be delivered to a central collection point for flight to young Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.

By Christy Stickney As housing microfinance is gaining popularity and earning legitimacy as a recognized product of microfinance institutions, a key question is emerging regarding the potential scale that can or will be reached by the MFI industry, particularly given that MFIs were originally designed to support the development of micro and small enterprises through the provision of working capital and fixed asset loans. Seeking answers to this question, ACCION International and Habitat for Humanity International joined efforts to conduct a study covering 10 of ACCION's partners in Latin America,[1] seven of whom represent more than 90 percent of the ACCION network's housing portfolio. The study sought to address the following: What has been the performance of housing portfolios over recent years, and what are the implications for future growth? Specifically, what are the key supply-side factors that either facilitate or limit the scaling up of housing microfinance? What are recommendations for facilitating greater scale in housing microfinance? Housing microfinance products The study revealed the following common characteristics among the housing microfinance products being offered by the surveyed MFIs:
Portfolio performance The study revealed the following outcomes for the seven MFIs currently offering housing microfinance loan products:
The repayment performance of the housing microfinance portfolios was superior to that of business loans among all seven of the MFIs studied. Primary conclusions
MFIs are most likely to be constrained when they perceive housing to be outside the scope of their institutional mission. HFHI and ACCION International are in the process of writing a report summarizing the study's findings, which will be published and made available on both institutions' Web sites in early 2007. Christy Stickney is director of Housing Finance with HFH in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Hey all!
To start, I realize that people have strong feelings on whether wild grapevines are good or bad. I welcome this discussion, but in light of the size of my yard, keeping this vine would essentially kill everything else in my yard, so I'm chooseing to get rid of it. I'm in Joliet, IL in a neighborhood which has trees along all the property lines. I'm also a new homeowner. The home we bought had a poorly kept-up yard (the previous owner lived here for 3 years and apparently only mowed the lawn...nothingn else). The yards on either side are equally out-of-control, with one house being vacant, and the other home to a single elderly woman. After we moved in on July 3rd, I began exploring the yard. I knew where there were 2 peony plants, as they had been blooming when we looked at the house. So I sorted out what else was there. Lily-of-the-Valley (sadly, past its bloom time, but I look forward to it next year!) and daylilies surround the yard, but half of the daylilies were not blooming! In fact, some began to die back. So I started poking around in those flower beds and discovered this vine...this damn vine. It wraps around the stems and flowers and chokes them, it's climbing the trees and bringing limbs down, and putting down new root cores every few feet! I did a bunch of research, and am 100% sure it's wild grapevine. I found one bunch of grapes while cutting it down, and the leaves look like maple leaves. So I began cutting the vines and digging up the roots, and have been doing so for 3 weeks now! At the moment, I have about 1/3 of the yard totally clear of the vine, another 3rd with the vines cut (but the roots are in the neighbor's yard), and another 3rd that I still need to attack. It's getting tedious, and I'm concerned that they are just going to regrow next spring. So my questions are this:
Thanks a bunch. I'm learning a bunch by reading through these forums! |

I realize it's been quite a while since you posted, sorry I've noticed there's not a lot of activity here. But as to your grapevine - I have had the same problem in my yard, moved into run-down place with weedy borders, etc. I have wild grapevine as well as trumpet vine. And I hate to have to say this, but I still fight them, and I've lived here now for ..........20 years........ |
Wow, I can't believe it; someone from my home town, Joliet!! Are you sure it's a grape vine? I know in this area there is a vine called "bindweed". It makes small morning glory-like flowers in spring. It's impossible to get rid of, you just have to keep pulling it. |
- Posted by midwesternerr 5 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 14, 08 at 3:04
Grapevines can get very thick in old age and add a lot of weight to trees as well as cause sunlight blockage. I think it might be easier just to wack them back to ground level every couple of years than try for total eradication. You'll probably kill everything around them trying to use herbicides and still have the vines left :) |
I used to have it all in my yard... wild grapevine, bindweed, asiatic honeysuckle bush. My grapevine was growing up my pine tree and pulling some of the branches down. I tried Round-up, digging, etc. The only thing I have found effective is Tordon RTU. It's found in higher end garden centers. I love it because it works effectivly, usually the first time. And it's premixed ready to go. It comes with a dropper tip and you put it directly on a fresh cut. So there's no overspray on an entire area; it's very localized. I've used it on out of control English ivy, Coloradus Euonymous, grapevine, trees in chain link fence. It's pretty toxic, though. Make sure you wear your rubber gloves. |

Greetings, I am so excited...I purchased seeds of the following passiflora: Passiflora edulis 'Frederick' I would really like to know the best method of growing on these seeds. I will be growing them in pots in my greenhouse. I have a couple other unnamed variety growing but they do not set fruit. Thus, the reason I picked these in hopes of obtaining fruit. Also, with these grow true to the seeds? I'm not very familiar with Passiflora and the various varieties available. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide. |

I found some old posts that had great information in them regarding seed germination. Thanks. |
- Posted by LullabyF360 8a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 9:33
I've always had great outcomes by soaking the seeds over night in warm water before sowing them. There are some that are growing wild in a few spots on my property as well as on the far side of my neighbor's pond. These have not made many fruits. Those that have are always eaten by ants or other annoying bugs. I really don't put much care into these being as they grow in areas that have no choice to be mowed, & if you don't mow, then our yard becomes a hideous jungle. None have started to come out of their hibernation yet. This year I am going to try to take some cuttings to expand my passiflora wall. I haven't tried their fruit, so I am eager to have a nice yield. However, I am more into them for their unique flowers. They are beautiful & interesting to me. |
Lullaby, Thank you for the information. I did read that soaking them in water or something acidic like grapefruit or orange juice also works. I will be giving that a try as soon as my seeds arrive. Thank you. |
- Posted by LullabyF360 8a (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 22:25
Also, I forgot to mention, some people scratch the side of the seeds before soaking. There are several things to be used for scarification. Sandpaper, knives, scissors, etc. Some do this, some don't. I, personally, have not seen a difference in germination rate between the two methods. That all comes down to preference. |

Land Pirate,
dp is correct the reverse rev. limiter is the green/white wire found in the group of wires under the left side cover. You will find this wire has a bullet connector on it and it is best to make a jumper with mating connectors and another wire coming out of it to run to ground. This way if you want to take the over ride out all you do is disconnect the over ride and reconnect the original wires together. You could also run a switch in line with the other wire so that it is switchable if you want. There is a schematic that has been made by a gentleman called Grizzhopper on the High Lifter forum that shows how to over ride both the reverse and diff-lock limiters with one switch. It involves using a relay and switch and is a very clean method to disable the limiters; this is what I have done. I placed the switch just behind the shifter handle on the left side, switch it down and all limiters have been over ridden. I like this method over the permanent method because when it is in the over ride mode the reverse light will blink and not operate properly. And it is only on rare occasion that I really need the over rides.

15 Minutes of Fame: WoW 101 -- yes, WoW for college credit Part 2 {WoW}
Jun 4th 2009 11:04AM If your blaming a computer game for making you drop out then you need to reaccess your life in general.
In response to this article, I think this is a great idea. It has amazed me the complex social environments that are in a MMO. Many write MMOs off as simply games. But, MMOs are different, there is not a computer program behind that character your interacting with, it is a real person and he or she will respond based on thier own environment. This course sound like a great idea to teach about societies and interaction with people. As long as we understand that person real contact is better than a game and responses in game are not always going to reflect the personallity of the real person.
Overall, I think this is good use of another tool to educate people.

Mar 27th 2009 10:54AM Thanks for the post. I've been running Meta/ruin but have only recently been doing endgame raiding. My gear is crap atm because I'm just starting and I felt the Meta/Ruin spec is less gear dependant.
I've really enjoyed it so far, especially the rotation as opposed to Affliction. As my gear improves this shows that I can still remain in the spec that I've grown to love.
Also, thanks to the other experienced Meta/Ruin locks out there. Your insite has shown me a lot of problems I've been doing. Definately going to be able to boost DPS.

Teen arrested for making suicide threat to a GM {WoW}
Jan 6th 2009 10:40AM Not reporting a suicide threat is a punishable offense in the US. Bliz had to report it. It isnt intruding into a players life, because said player brought Bliz into his life by declaring he was going to commit suicide.
Bliz was obligated to report the player.
Moral of the story, dont mess around with hollow threats like this. The player was doing it as a joke, but these kind of situations, such as suicide are taken very seriously.

Jan 2nd 2009 10:40AM My only problem with the op is his reluctance to include people he doesnt know. As a player who has only been playing this game for about 2 months its hard enough to get groups together. And yes I could get in a large guild to get all my group needs met, but I dont like that type of guild.
My suggestion is let 1 or 2 people you dont know into a group if there is room. Obviously, i would only let 1 if its a 5-man. You will usually know within the first minor boss weither the guy is an idiot or not and you can boot him. I believe that most people aren't clowns and would benefit from the expertise that the op probably has in doing instances. I know when i get into a good group I definately learn something that i take with me to eventually lead my own instances.

I got really lonely this week. Again. So I reactivated my account. Somehow just having the profile out there makes me feel like I'm trying, even if I'm not. It's cathartic, in a weird way.
Anyways, here's the fun stuff that was going on:
1. The person who I had my first (and only, for that matter) date with is back on OkCupid! I'm loling about that. It was a little awkward, but she had said she wanted to go on another one. She also clearly wanted me to do more than awkwardly wave goodbye to her. There was no way that was going to happen. Then she got involved with one of her friends and moved away before we had a second date. Honestly, that's probably the best way that could have ended. So many memories though, heh.
2. The really weird woman who I talked to is also back on. She had claimed to be an industrial spy who was helping her wallflower friend get dates. She was spying on a pharmaceutical company and said she made more money than any of her potential suitors ever did. I wish I still had our conversations because she was the most hilarious person I've ever chatted with. She might actually have been a spy, too.
3. The last visitor I had is someone I recognize. We had chatted for about six months, but I wasn't her type apparently so we never went out. She had deleted her original account, so apparently she remembered my username and searched for me almost a year after we had last talked; there's no way we were matched since we don't live near each other. And I never even realized she had visited the day I deactivated my account. Thank goodness. I probably would have messaged her. (She kind of sort of killed the last of my self confidence. Apparently I'm fun to talk to, but nothing more.)
Apparently nothing ever changes and we're all just as single as we were this time last year. LOL.

Man Shot in apparent gang related incident. Detectives from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station's COBRA Team are investigating a shooting incident that occurred Wednesday night on Race Street in Newhall.
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting and found a Newhall resident had been shot.
A containment of the area was established by the arriving deputies, COBRA Team members, Community Interaction Team (CIT) members and the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) North County Crime Impact team.
The injured man was found to have suffered gun shot wounds to the hand and leg, but they were reportedly not life threatening.
Despite the containment, deputies were not able to make any official arrests in the case, however they did make a separate arrest of a 21 year old man for allegedly being in possession of methamphetamine and a dagger.
"The detectives do believe this shooting is gang related," said Sgt. Darren Harris of the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Department.
Anyone with any information regarding this incident has been asked to immediately contact Detective Mike McPheeters of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's COBRA Team at (661) 799-5176.

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 Roxanne!
Facts about Roxanne
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Roxanne
- Hair: Long
Roxanne's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Roxanne is a gentle, loving kitty, and just gorgeous. She loves to follow you around and rub your legs, be petted, or carried around, and gives you lots of love in return. She's friendly and sweet, and enjoys all attention and affection. She also likes playtime, and looks forward to the new toys and dangly things you want to entice her with! Roxie is lovely to look at with her long, silky fur, and can't wait for someone to lavish her with the loving care she deserves.
Roxie was abandoned outside this winter in Washington, DC. She's beautiful and friendly, and quickly decided to make human friends to feed her and also let her in their house. She would jump inside the door whenever it was opened! Unfortunately the "new home" of her choice already had five resident cats, so Roxie came to Four Paws to find a home where she can demand more of her new guardian's time and attention! She gets along with other cats, but is not really looking for a cat companion. She's polite with them, but wants a human friend to be close to.
Roxie is spayed, tests negative for FIV/FeLV, and has had her vaccinations. Now she just needs someone to love and care for her forever.
Other Pets at 4Paws Rescue Team, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roxanne, a Merrifield Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Merrifield, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Merrifield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Merrifield 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 Merrifield 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 Merrifield paves the way for another one to be saved.

WASHINGTON, July 20, 2011 — Yesterday, an independent panel of doctors and health experts recommended that coverage in health plans include a wide-range of birth control options including Plan B, the controversial pregnancy prevention option. It was among a list of 8 recommendations made. Specifically, it asked for "the full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling" to be approved.
The recommendations have gotten many religious groups upset because they say their faith prevents them from supporting certain methods and that by the government mandating coverage for all women of these contraception, it is infringing on their religious values.
"I strongly oppose the Institute of Medicine's recommendation today," Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in a written statement. "Pregnancy is not a disease, and fertility is not a pathological condition to be suppressed by any means technically possible."
Some groups like Planned Parenthood and Reproductive Rights Action League have cheered and welcomed the recommendations.
Dr. Vanessa Cullins, vice president for medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a written statement:
"Covering birth control without co-pays is one of the most important steps we can take to prevent unintended pregnancy and keep women and children healthy."
Many in the Catholic community say, if adopted, these types of recommendations would be one step closer to mandating coverage for abortion.
It is one thing to not believe in certain contraception and abortion and not want others to get one, but indeed it is quite another thing to force people to accept their government mandating coverage for these services.
This is one of those issues that impassion so many that the government perhaps should have been entirely agnostic on it and not had it included in the law at all, or leave to the states to work out.
These recommendations will certainly not be helpful for the Obama administration going into the next re-election cycle as they will only fan and enflame the sensibilities of people against certain certain forms of contraception.

Desktop Altar
The giraffe (out of a Celestial Seasonings Tea Box) is a memorial to my late father, who said he had been one in a previous life. The wooden "A" is from Toronto and also reminds me of my dad, who was a Linotype compositor.
The shell is from South Africa, a trip that changed the way I view the world. There's a little rock in front of the statuette, which I picked up near Atlit, the setting for Day After Night, my latest novel.
The bit of driftwood with pebbles and words attached was a gift from my friend, artist Joel Moskowitz; the words are five lines of lyrics I wrote for music by my friend Bert Seager; it's a kind of three-dimensional "poem" and I just love it.http://cdbaby.com/cd/bertseager3
Finally, the statuette, which came from a gift shop in the Grand Canyon with the following explanation: "The Anasazi tradition of working with clay and telling stories has merged into a modern art form of STORYTELLER pottery dolls.. The figurine most often depicts a grandparent who gathers his/her grandchildren around to play the drum, sing songs and tell stories of their heritage and traditions."

Wow, you lit my heart on fire :-), inspiring me to make a post on my inspirational message blog along with a photo: www.inspriationalmessage.blogspot.com.
On my desktop altar (from right to left - as befits a Hebrew speaker :-)...
1) Clay statuette of Miriam that I made some seven years ago on a glorious vacation in the Sinai desert. This statuette, fashioned from simple clay mud found in Sinai, which I sealed with simple glue (now peeling), has chaperoned me through countless ancient healing music tours overseas. It's my number one touchstone.
2) An ancient pottery handle which I found in Tel Hazor - an sacred healing music site in northern Galillee. This provides me with something to hold onto... when I don't know where to go next. It provides me with lots of faith.
3) A small Egyptian tambourine. Provides me with the sound of music.
4 & 5) Another ancient pottery handle picked up on a recent visit to Tel Megiddo (Armageddon) and Tel Dor (Phoenician site next to Atlit). These were also important sites for ancient sacred healing music of the biblical prophetesses.
6) Finger cymbals. Hand made in Egypt, I use these to dissipate energy. When I need a break, I ring them. It reminds me of the music I recorded with them in the ancient water well of Zippori.
7) A small peace dove bookmarker gift handmade by a colleague of mine. It reminds me of the beauty of simple aesthetic found in Israel. It calms me.
8) Behind the Miriam statuette - my logo - that includes a statuette of Miriam found in Achziv in the Western Galilee, dating from the Helenistic period. The Hebrew says: Kolot Eden - Havaya Musikaleet Tehorah... which in English means...
Voices of Eden

While I don't have a desk at home, where I do most of my writing... I do have a little alter, so to speak, at work. I have two tiaras, a purple curvy goddess statuette, and the note I found from the universe that says, "You are a goddess."
A few co-workers have commented on it, sort of poking fun at my tiaras; however, there's something to be said about remembering to act like one, even on a rough day. :) - May 30, 2010 at 5:13 PM

I really love reading the responses to this question as well. "Miss", I love the thought of your altar stirring up such discussion in your work place. This is such a supportive thing to have happen. People get to connect to themselves in a deeper place (even if at first they only know to laugh at it). Levity is a great thing :-)....

It's the First Plant Conservation Day TodayUSA
18 May 2006
Botanic gardens and zoos across the U.S. are celebrating the importance of plants to people and the planet on the nation's first Plant Conservation Day, May 18. "Despite our daily reliance on the flora of the world for our existence, plants are the most threatened species on Earth," said Dan Shepherd, U.S. Program Director for Botanic Gardens Conservation International. "Plants give us the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the medicines that protect us, along with our homes, and clothes." A joint effort between Botanic Gardens Conservation International and the Association of Zoological Horticulture (AZH), Plant Conservation Day, May 18, is being promoted to hundreds of public gardens and zoos across the United States. The San Diego Zoo's Annual Garden Celebration in May is themed "Garden Magic for Vanishing Plants." The weekend event will feature many activities including a plant-oriented geocaching treasure hunt, a botanical bus tour and special plant exhibits featuring threatened plants from around the world. The New England Tropical Conservatory, in Bennington, VT, is planning Plant Conservation Day activities that include tours, school workshops, radio talk shows and a local television program highlighting the plant conservation efforts of organizations in their community. "Reducing the threats to plants in their native habitats is a priority for conservationists worldwide," said David Selk, President of the Association of Zoological Horticulture. "Zoos and botanic gardens have a very important role in plant conservation. On Plant Conservation Day, many zoos and gardens across the country will promote their plant conservation efforts and help raise the public awareness of the importance of plants to people and as the backbone of all wildlife habitats." Those interesting in finding out more about how they can be involved in Plant Conservation Day are invited to go to http://www.PlantConservationDay.org. The website is a "toolkit" for gardens and zoos, and outlines five activities to celebrate plant conservation. Highlighted activities include endangered plant walks, art and science activities for kids and families, and a plant conservation course for home gardeners.

'Cub' Earns Merit Badges In Gorgeous Brutality and a Fresh Take on the Familiar
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on September 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentBoy Scouts, amirite? Always hating on atheists, gays and random sticks they find in the woods. But in Belgium at least they're far from the worst thing hanging out in the forest. Cub follows a gaggle of scouts along on a camping trip meant to engender team-building and survival skills, but the truth behind a local legend threatens to impede the former — by killing off members of the team — while creating a sink or swim scenario with the latter. A feral boy said to live in the woods is rumored to be behind a series of disappearances, but even if he's real he may not be the biggest threat wandering the wild. Sam (Maurice Luijten, who bears a striking resemblance to a young Belgian River Phoenix) joined the scouts with the baggage of a mysterious and violent past trauma, and the constant bullying he suffers at the hands of others does nothing to calm his inner turmoil. He's dismissed after trying to tell the others that he saw a boy in the woods and instead forms a strained and silent relationship with the muddied and masked child. And then they all start earning merit badges in death.
'The Kid With a Bike' Rides a Fine Line Between Heartbreak and Hope (Belgium)
Foreign Objects By Rob Hunter on March 26, 2012 | Be the First To CommentCyril is looking for his dad. The boy was dropped off at a state-run foster home by his father and told it was just a temporary thing while the man got his act together financially. But the days became weeks, and now when Cyril tries calling he gets a recording that the line has been disconnected. He runs away from the home eventually making his way back to where he used to live. But his father is long gone. The Kid With a Bike offers up a sad story, but it avoids melodrama through honest writing, beautiful acting and Cyril's sheer force of will. The boy refuses to accept his abandonment at face value and pursues the truth regardless of the walls erected in his way. It's alternately heartbreaking and hopeful, and it's never less than engaging. Most surprising for a simple drama, the movie is easily one of the year's most suspenseful as Cyril's fate and future hang precariously in the balance.
Watch: Trailers for the 9 Shortlisted Best Foreign Oscar Contenders (Now With Convenient Subtitles!)
Features By Scott Beggs on January 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA little over a year after jailing and banning their most famous filmmaker from making movies, Iran might win an Academy Award for Best Picture. It would be a first for the nation whose government seems to strongly dislike creativity and freedom of speech, but its entry this year, A Separation, almost seems like a sure thing. Come February, writer/director Asghar Farhadi and Iran might be standing on the winner's podium. But it's not a done deal yet. A Separation and 8 other films were announced last week as part of the Oscar shortlist – just one step away from becoming an official nominee. They include a Danish comedy set in Argentina, a masculine drama about the underground world of illegal bovine growth hormones in Belgium, and something marvelous from Wim Wenders. It's, to say the least, a varied group. Except that almost all of them are dramas from writer/directors. So, yeah. Subject matter-wise though, it's a full spectrum. The final 5 will be announced tomorrow morning, but here first are the trailers from each of the 9 shortlisted movies from far off lands (like Canada):
Drafthouse Films Acquires Oscar Contender 'Bullhead' and Sex Comedy 'Clown'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 4, 2011 | Comments (1)When Luke Mullen said that Bullhead was "damn near a masterpiece," he wasn't exaggerating. It's a stirring, heart-vicing film that explores the rotten depths of manhood in the no-frills world of the Belgium mafia that controls illegal bovine growth hormones. His full review is absolutely worth the read, but the short of it is that the movie is pure, grisly and fantastic. In fact, it's already been chosen as Belgium's entry for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars, which is even more stunning because it's the first film from Michael Roskam, and the country's favorite go-to Awards contenders (the Dardenne Brothers) have a new film out this year (that won't be going to the big dance). A newcomer has overthrown titans, and according to Badass Digest, Drafthouse Films has picked up the film for distribution. On top of that, they picked up fellow Fantastic Fest film Clown – the sex comedy from Denmark that sees men taking a young child on their "Tour de Pussy." Adam Charles said that it displayed the awfulness of (some) male specimens with "one of the most pointed, extreme, and filthy senses of humor imaginable." From Oscar nominees to raunchy foreign sex comedies, Drafthouse has picked up some great movies here, and hopefully they'll be in theaters near you fairly soon. And no one will be texting or talking when you go.
Fantastic Review: 'Kill Me Please' Is the Darkest of Black Comedies
Fantastic Fest By Scott Beggs on October 3, 2011 | Comments (1)By all accounts, a movie dealing with assisted suicide has no business being as funny as Kill Me Please. Somehow, director Olias Barco has crafted a side-splitting exploration of people wanting to end their own life. Black and white, Belgian, and yet it defies all expectations to be instantly accessible and shockingly hilarious. At a large facility in the forest, Doctor Krueger (Aurélien Recoing) helps people at the end of their rope. His main goal is to stop them from drinking the poison he applies with dignity, but he isn't always successful. As a new group of paying customers moves into the building, and the nearby townsfolk plan to carry torches against the place, the good doctor struggles to keep the people who want to die from being killed.
Foreign Objects: Vampires (Belgium)
Features By Rob Hunter on July 6, 2011 | Be the First To CommentRemember the MPAA's much ballyhooed new rating for adult themed/non-porn films back in 1990? NC-17 stood for 'No children under 17″ and was meant for films too aggressively naughty or thematically mature for kids and teens to even glimpse. One of the earliest films to receive the rating was Belgium's caustic and satiric faux-documentary, Man Bites Dog (1992). It features a camera crew following a serial killer day to day as he does what he does best… kill, rape, and disembowel innocent people. It's a brilliant film that manages to subvert both documentaries and serial killer films in one bloody swathe. Vampires is not rated NC-17, but then again pretty much nothing is these days. (A Serbian Film most likely won't play in a theater with that rating, and Blue Valentine successfully appealed down to an R.) But it bears a few other similarities with with the film starting with its country of origin, Belgium. It's also done in the style of a documentary, but the serial killer is traded in for a family of vampires who introduce the filmmakers to their modern-day bloodsucking ways. It doesn't have the same bite as that earlier film, but it's violent, darkly comic, and damn good.
Fantastic Fest Review: Dirty Mind

He's shy, struggles with a need for love he can't fulfill, and is generally walked upon by everyone until an accident sees him waking up in the hospital as Tony T – a brand new personality that comes complete with cockiness and catch-phrases.

This first appeared as a Comment in the 11 February issue of Flight International
Is the end nigh for Boeing's queen of the skies? When Seattle launched the 747-8 in 2006 it did not see it changing the industry the way the original jumbo jet revolutionised long-haul travel in the 1970s.
Part of Boeing's case against the Airbus A380 was that increasing fragmentation of long-haul routes made an all-new ultra large transport unviable.
However, the US manufacturer did think there was enough of a market for it to be an A380 spoiler, making prospects even more difficult for its European rival.
But while sales of the A380 have been sluggish, the 747-8's have been slower. A total of 47 747-8 Freighters had been delivered by the end of 2013, and only 17 747-8Is. Customers have tended to stick with the fuel-efficient 777 twinjet, and the 400-seat 777-9X eats away further the 747-8's higher capacity advantage.
A recovering cargo market could be the saviour of the 45-year-old programme. However, even there, the argument for the revamped jumbo takes a battering, with the generous belly of the 777-300ER allowing airlines to run frequent, just-in-time freight services.
Strangely perhaps, of the best hopes for the 747-8I is as the ultimate business jet. The VIP variant has nine orders – plenty of room for those Rolls-Royces on these three decks. And it is hard seeing the US Air Force looking beyond the iconic jumbo when it comes to replacing Air Force One later this decade.

Foresters Vigilant Against Invasice Species
Posted: 06/25/2013
It can happen innocently enough.
That attractive wreath made of natural plants sure would look nice hanging on the door for the holidays. But the berries woven in to the wreath can cause significant problems to native Iowa plants should they find their way into the environment.
Oriental bittersweet, often used to make holiday wreathes because of its attractive fruit, has been banned by the Iowa State Legislature after Gov. Terry Branstad signed the legislation into law.
"If you have wreathes made from oriental bittersweet – burn them," said Tivon Feeley, coordinator of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources forest health program. "It is spread easily by birds and is extremely difficult to get rid of once established."
Unfortunately, this unwanted invader has a foothold in Iowa with larger outbreaks in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, the Loess Hills and Lake Ahquabi.
Photos of oriental bittersweet and other invasive species are available on the DNR's website at
Landowners with vines on their property should contact their district forester to develop a plan get rid of it.
Unfortunately, Oriental bittersweet isn't the only threat to Iowa woodlands.
June is Invasive Species Month, which is a national effort to raise awareness about unwanted pests threatening Iowa's native species.
One of those threats is as close as Ohio.
Asian long horned beetle is munching its way through maples, sycamores, willows, boxelders and more. The DNR will be monitoring for this large beetle in 900 trees in the urban tree inventory that were dying or in decline, but with no identifiable reason. The Iowa Legislature provided funding to allow the DNR to survey these trees to see if Asian long horned beetle is the cause.
"Fortunately, if Asian long horned beetle ever does show up here, it is a pest that we can eliminate," Feeley said.
These emerging threats are on top of the invaders already here: gypsy moths and emerald ash borers.
"We are tracking invasives already here and monitoring for what isn't here," he said.
For information on pests other than Oriental bittersweet, contact the Iowa State University Plant Diagnostic Clinic at 515-294-0581 or

Tournaments :: news
Walmart Bass Fishing League - Louisiana/Texas
Red River (May 21, 2005)
Graves, Gulledge tie for win in BFL tournament on Red River
NATCHITOCHES, La. — Boater Billy Graves of Montgomery and Danny Gulledge, of Crossett, Ark., each earned $2,647 Saturday when they tied for the win in the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Louisiana Division event on the Red River. Gulledge won an additional $1,000 for being the highest finishing Ranger Cup participant. The tournament was the fourth of five regular-season Louisiana Division events.
Both anglers weighed limits of five bass weighing 14 pounds, 13 ounces. Gulledge fished Pool 4 and used a Lucky Craft Sammy and a War Eagle spinnerbait to catch his bass from shallow water. Graves used a jig on ledges that had grass in the Caushatta area to catch his limit.
Finishing third was Clyde Anderson of St. Gabriel with five bass weighing 13 pounds, 6 ounces that earned him $1,154. Ronnie Eschete Jr. of Thibodaux claimed $899 as the fourth-place finisher thanks to five bass weighing 13 pounds, 5 ounces. In fifth was Robert Robinson of Mobile, Ala., with five bass weighing 12 pounds, 4 ounces worth $738.
Kevin Lafleur of Opelousas took Boater Division big-bass award honors, earning $535 for a 5-pound, 13-ounce bass. He caught his big bass on a Norman Deep Little N.
Bill Fussell of Thibodaux bested the Co-angler Division competitors to earn $1,732 as the co-angler winner, thanks to five bass weighing 12 pounds, 10 ounces that he caught on spinnerbaits and crankbaits around wood cover.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Royd Picard of Broussard (five bass, 9 pounds, 10 ounces, $866); Chris Hults of Gautier, Miss. (five bass, 8 pounds, 14 ounces, $566); Rene Planchard of Baton Rouge (four bass, 8 pounds, 12 ounces, $441); and Jamie Floyd of Prarierville (three bass, 8 pounds, 5 ounces, $362).
Fussell earned $263 as the co-angler big-bass award winner with a 5-pound, 1-ounce bass he caught on a white spinnerbait.
The Louisiana Division will wrap up its regular season Oct. 1-2 with a two-day Super Tournament on the Atchafalaya Basin near Belle River, La.
Following the regular season, the Louisiana Division boater with the most points will earn $1,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points champion. The co-angler amassing the most points will earn $500 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points champion in the Co-angler Division.
Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns points, with 200 points going to the winner, 199 for second, 198 for third, and so on except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner, 299 for second, 298 for third, and so on. The top 40 Louisiana Division boaters and co-anglers based on year-end points standings will advance to the Lake Ouachita Regional near Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 18-22 where they will compete against Cowboy, Okie, and Ozark division anglers for one of six slots in the 2006 All-American. With a total purse of $1 million and a potential $140,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and $70,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing.
The $8.4 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 28 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired, with boaters supplying the boat and fishing against other boaters and co-anglers fishing from the back deck against other co-anglers. For more information or to enter a tournament, call (270) 252-1000 or browse this Web site.

IPhone Accelerometer Hacked?
A hacker claims to have written custom software which directly accesses the accelerometer on Apple's iPhone. He's put together a brief video clip which shows off some really fun use of the motion-sensing capabilities.
While I'm a bit skeptical that the video clip could be a fake, developer Erling Ellingsen does have a track record hacking motion-sensors and says he'll be posting the source code soon. Even if it is phony, I just can't get enough of that Steve Jobs bobblehead.

If you have a jailbroken iphone or ipod, you can download an app called labyrinth which uses the accelerometer like in the video.

I have a 12.5 hp Briggs 289707 which had not run for a couple of years. After replacing the starter I put a small amount of gas in the tank and the engine started right up and ran at full engine speed for a few seconds and I then shut it off. I started it again and it ran for a 10 seconds or so and if I recall it stalled. My suspicion was that the gas ran out so I put in a quart or so this time. Now the engine barely idles (very slow and it seems it is missing more than firing). I am also getting what seems to me to be a lot of back pressure through the carb and I also get a bit of a backfire when it dies. Engine speed does not change if the throttle is wide open or when I close the throttle with my finger on the governor (just the sound changes a bit). I pulled the carb off and cleaned it up as best I could and I also adjusted the intake valve lash (it was a bit tight so I filed it down). Valves were working fine and were moving freely. Still no change; barely idles with throttle wide open. I gave it a spray of starter fluid while it was running and nothing happened (actually it stalled out when I sprayed a big dose), no increase in engine speed. Does the fact that the engine doesn't run any faster with the starter fluid rule out carburetor? I am thinking ignition, either bad coil or timing is off (flywheel key). Thing is it ran just fine for the first 20 seconds or so and I did not even try to go anywhere; could the flywheel have jumped??? My bet is coil, anybody seen this before? Thanks. |

grab a sheet of paper. remove the air filter. When the motor is running hold the paper over the air intake. Does the paper bounce or is it just pulled down? Do u see a little "puddle" of gas at the bottom of the intake right before going into the carb? If bounce\puddle then it is doing what mine have done. Don't know why but whenever i found those briggs 12hp, they were sitting for a long time. Upon fixing, almost always i would cut my yard fine but this would happen on the second round. |
Outsider, thanks for the reply. I had already adjusted the intake valve clearence, it was a little tight so I filled it down a bit and got within specs. However, it is still bouncing a piece of paper and I defintely have gas pooling in the intake in front of the carb. I attributed the back pressure and the pooling gas to the fact that this engine barely run at a slow idle; although it starts quite readily, it will not run any faster than a low idle whether the throttle is closed or wide open. |
