I have a 2001 Dodge Intrepid with 200k miles. "I know, HORRIBLE MILAGE >.<"
Anyways i was driving it one day after adding a Quart of Oil, i made it maybe 5 miles and the car started cutting out. So i pulled off of the main road i was on, as soon as i did the car died and the Oil light began flashing. I looked up from my dashbaord and saw smoke coming out, so i poped the hood and it looked as if the smoke was coming from a cylinder like drum to the right of the engine. Eventualy, after the car stopped smoking it started leaking what looked like Oil with a mix of anti-freeze. I checked my overflow tank and it was empty. So i got back in the car and see if it would start, i started up with a little hesitation and seemed to be running normal, so i just drove it on home. By the time i got to my drive way it had died again. So, i waited about 4 or 5 hours and decided to loosen up the oil plug thingy "sorry im retarded about cars!" and it seemed like some anti-freeze was mixed with my oil. The reason for my post is to see if that means i have a blown gasket somewhere or if i caught the problem early enough to take a "quick fix" approach to this situation. If someone could enlighten me, i would be forever greatful. Thanks for your time. |

You ain't fixing this yourself. Some of those vehicles have a bad rap with head gaskets and yours might be one of them. Send it out. In my book, if you call the pan plug a " thingy " you don't have the experience. The quick fix is a quart of BarsLeak and sell it 1/2 hour later. Good luck. Bottom line. Nobody is fixing this over the "net" someone has to see the car. I've seen " kids " at the gas station fill the rad over flow tank with oil because they couldn't find the engine oil fill. As a joke i've given " kids " antifreeze to put into an air cooled V.W. They poured it into the engine. Bad joke, don't do it. If you think the repairs are too much money part it out. You should get most of your money back if you hold out for the higher prices. Hope you get it sorted. Again, Good luck. |
The engine may be trash. It should not have been driven after the first failure was detected. If the bearings are still ok, it may be saved. Sounds as though coolant has leaked/poured into the crankcase. Probably a leaking intake manifold gasket, or worse, a blown head gasket. Both are repairable if the engine has not been damaged. However, at 200,000 miles, you probably need to exchange or rebuild the engine. If the head gasket is blown and you decide to replace it, you may as well have a valve job done while the heads are off. |

Re: Cutlists are a waste of space
I agree with previous comments that a cut list should be available on line for subscribers and for folks who bought the issue and want a cut list - one could give a code in the article to access the cut list online.
That would be the best of both worlds.
Re: The 3 Hour Cabinet
Very nice design and I have the perfect place for it. The design is key - not the wood; although free wood is great no matter what the species. Unfortunately in Miami Fl the free roadside wood is mostly bamboo and palm - try to make something out of that!
Also it's nice to know that everyone has a project to be finished. I told my wife that the first thing she says to me in the morning should not be a list of backlogged projects - she just can't help it though, especially when navigating through piles of materials.
Re: Shaker Lap Desk in SketchUp
I just completed a couple of kids lap desks from an online woodworking plan - scaled down to kid size for my niece and nephew and loaded with stuff from the Office Depot and some books recommended by Mom. They were to be all pine for weight considerations but I built the sides out of hard maple for durability and ease of joinery. Finished with Waterlux, steel wool/oil for a nice satin sheen. Can't really tell the two species of wood as all the top parts are pine. Plugged the screw holes with walnut plugs for contrast.
You can find the plans by googling children's lap desk.
Nice gift in this day and age of the computer screen.
Re: Play Against the Grain: The Wrong Way to Rip
1/4 ply is another dangerous rip - I had two kickbacks from this material, one requiring sutures to my hand. Use your guards and splitter.
Next time you get something protected by a styrofoam sheet and feed it through the saw to see the dynamics without the pain.
Re: Man Wins Big Money in Tablesaw Lawsuit
I have been injured on a tablesaw secondary to kickback of 1/4 ply (classic error) and on a router table, where using guards are problematic. Yes the guard was off the tablesaw and it was pre-riving knife on American made products.
The fact that riving knives are a recent addition to American made saws when they were standard in Europe really shows the true colors of American companies where the bottom line is king. American manufactures need policing to add safety standards. I got an aftermarket splitter and have been happy ever since until the router injury when I sold the 66 and got the professional SawStop.
That moment of not wanting to look down at what was left of my finger is something I did not want to repeat and it is only a matter of the proper set of conditions when the tablesaw is going to bite.
So the bottom line is American industries do not police themselves; the government has to do it for them but the biggest incentive is $$$ from lawsuits not user safety or the desire to build the safest product possible.
So if the lawsuit is a means to an end - so be it. Look at tobacco.....
And do not ignore the statistics of tablesaw injuries - I am sure that the majority of users did know what they were doing and used proper precautions until that one perfect set of circumstances resulting in injury.

Re: New Study Discusses Tablesaw Injuries
Also to add to Cadabra's comments.
The guy who discovered Dilantin for seizure control did not patent the use of the medication as he thought it should be free for all to produce which dramatically reduces cost. Maybe Saw Stop take his or her led and allow other manufactures to use the technology. I am aware that the inventor is angry about the attempt of the other tablesaw manufacturers to block the use of his product but safety should super-cede.
Re: New Study Discusses Tablesaw Injuries
Accidents will always happen - that is why they have a name for them and even though we try, the right circumstances combined with a dose of fatigue and the need to finish that last bit of cutting so we can start on another part of the project the next day.....
Two words - Saw Stop.
Also I do not see why congress has to mandate the riving knife - we knew it was necessary and produced aftermarket models for our deficient saws. I do not think the European saw makers needed a law to force them to make a safe tablesaw. I just don't get it. If the saw companies voluntarily added safety features more people would buy the saw and the industry would follow.
Again accidents will always happen. Saw Stop helps and will save fingers - kickback - well that is preventable will the guards and the riving knife and watching for thin potentially warped plywood.
Re: VIDEO REPLAY: Tenon Shootout: Hand vs. Power Tools
Nice job with the demonstration. Too bad I missed the live version.
Re: Video Gallery: Drawers that Breathe
It's always nice to add another dimension to woodworking as inspired by this craftsman. Wood is constantly moving in nature and after project construction - this project highlights this - beautifully.

Hello all,
How neet would it be to see Wild Quaker Parrots in you garden, like the people in Edgewater New Jersey see. Seem's that they have lived there for the last 38 yrs. and might have been from a case of parrots in for the pet trade that have broken open in 1967 at Kennedy Airport, and taken up residence in Brooklyn NY, Conneticut, and Edgewater NJ. They are killing them in Conn. and Jersey also euthanizes the ones they catch. Why because they said in the 60's they would destroy fruit crops and multiply out of control. 38 yrs later they are still in Edgewater and there population is keept in check by Falcons and Hawks and have not populated out of control like predicted by the state. If you would like to find out more about them go to www.edgewaterparrots.com All one word and look for the link to sign the online petiton to stop them from euthanizing the beautiful little parrots that are about the size of a robin or bluejay. your signature and suport is needed to save these little treasure's as NJ will vote on their flock of wild parrots soon. |

Project strives for net-zero energy useMIDDLEBURY One of the key components in planning the $6.5 million town office and recreation center project is making both buildings net-zero energy users.
Thats still the goal using a combination of renewable energy sources including solar, heat pumps and wood pellets.
Plans are to heat the recreation center on Creek Road with a pellet boiler. But cost is also a concern for Nick Artim, chairman of the Town Offices and Recreation Facilities Steering Committee.
Again, I want to reinforce the importance of maintenance, Artim, said at a recent meeting of the committee. It has to be something we can take care of.
He said it makes no sense to install a system if the cost to maintain it outweighs the energy savings.
Chris Hutson of Bread Loaf Corp., the project design firm, said their feasibility analysis will also include the source of the fuel and an estimate of the future cost of wood pellets and how that compares with other available (heating) systems.
Committee member Victor Nuovo said the panel needs to keep in mind rapid changes in technology.
One of the concerns I would have, and we have had, is that we dont want to find ourselves spending an awful lot of money on a system thats going to be obsolete in 20 years, Nuovo said. And I think we need to be very careful in balancing all of these things for consideration.
Artim said quality and durability need to come first and it is important not to rush to install a new, unproven technology that may prove costly.
There was no disagreement from Laura Asermily that quality should continue to be a priority.
But Asermily said as the committee looks at heating systems, its important to look at nonfossil-fuel heating systems.
She said biomass is an appropriate heating system for large buildings such as the recreation center.
There are a lot of buildings in our county and our state that we can be looking at now in terms of analyzing what works and what doesnt work, Asermily said.
Before the recreation center is built, the existing American Legion hall on Creek Road will be torn down. Huston said before that takes place, an analysis will be done of any hazardous building materials.
For the town office, Hutson said, the current plan is to heat the building using heat pumps. He said the building would be outfitted with motion sensors to save energy on lighting.
He said Middlebury College is on schedule to relocate the Osborne House in the fall. Once relocated, the site will be the home to the new town office next to Ilsley Library. Huston briefed the committee on the layout of the building, which was done after conferring with the town office staff.
Voters in March passed a $6.5 million bond for the town office and municipal recreation facility. The cost will be offset by the sale of the existing town office and adjacent gym property to Middlebury College for $4.5 million.
The college will demolish the buildings and convert the space into a park to serve as a gateway to the campus.
Construction is scheduled to begin in September.
At its next meeting on Aug. 8, Bread Loaf will present a sample palette of suggested interior and exterior building materials and colors.
The committee meeting can be viewed on Middlebury Community Television: middleburycommunitytv.org/Town0fcs071814.

Jewelry for You! How to Make Handmade Beaded Bracelets and Necklaces from Consumer Crafts and Crafts Unleashed
Bonus: Get our newsletter & special offers for free. We will not share or sell your email address. View our Privacy Policy
Crystal Elegance Lariat
By: Vicki O'Dell from the Creative Goddess
Add some sparkle to your outfit with this Crystal Elegance Lariat. This beaded necklace tutorial from Vicki O'Dell will teach you how to make this versatile piece of jewelry. Attached to the chain are gorgeous Swarovski crystals making this necklace really shine. It's a beautiful statement piece that you'll love.
- 3.4mm silver plated 2mm elongated chain (WCO59849)
- 5 packages 2 inch bright silver head pin (1983-33)
- 2 packages violet faceted round crystal bead (0700-6-14)
- 2 packages 6mm amethyst faceted round crystal bead(0700-6-04)
- 2 packages 8mm amethyst faceted round crystal bead (0700-8-04)
- 2 strands Swarovski Crystal bicone dark purple mix (1999-2441)
- 2 strands Presciosa Crystal amethyst strand (1999-1493)
- 2 strands Swarovski Crystal bicone cyclamen strand (1999-2439)
- 2 strands Swarovski Crystal bicone crystal strand (1999-2452)
Start out by cutting the chain to length.
To figure out how long to make it fold the chain in half and put it around your neck (the loose ends will slip through the loop). Decide how long you want it and then cut the chain.
Put a bead or a few beads on a head pin and make a simple loop. Repeat this many times over. I find it makes assembling the necklace easier if I keep the different beads and colors separated.
Starting at one end of the chain , begin adding the simple loops. For approximately 3 inches on each end I put a simple loop in each link of the chain.
For the rest of the necklace I put a simple loop every 3-7 links. You're finished!

Abstract: | Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a safe and effective method currently used in the treatment of skin cancer. In ALA-based PDT, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), or ALA esters, are used as pro-drugs to induce the formation of the potent photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Activation of PpIX by light causes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and toxic responses. Studies have indicated that ALA and its methyl ester (MAL) are taken up into the cells via c-butyric acid (GABA) transporters (GATs). Uptake via GATs into peripheral sensory nerve endings may also account for one of the few adverse side effects of ALA-based PDT, namely pain. In the present study, homology models of the four human GAT subtypes were constructed using three x-ray crystal structures of the homologous leucine transporter (LeuT) as templates. Binding of the native substrate GABA and the possible substrates ALA and MAL was investigated by molecular docking of the ligands into the central putative substrate binding sites in the outward-occluded GAT models. Electrostatic potentials (ESPs) of the putative substrate translocation pathway of each subtype were calculated using the outward-open and inward-open homology models. Our results suggested that ALA is a substrate of all four GATs and that MAL is a substrate of GAT-2, GAT-3 and BGT-1. The ESP calculations indicated that differences likely exist in the entry pathway of the transporters (i.e. in outward-open conformations). Such differences may be exploited for development of inhibitors that selectively target specific GAT subtypes and the homology models may hence provide tools for design of therapeutic inhibitors that can be used to reduce ALA-induced pain. |

Abstract: | Den tre-dimensjonale (3D) strukturen til serotonin-transporteren er ukjent og arbeidet som beskrives i avhandlingen er basert på teoretiske 3D-modeller av transporteren. Modellene har blitt brukt til å simulere bevegelsene i transporterstrukturen som skjer når serotonin transporteres samt til å studere hvordan forbindelser som blokkerer transporten binder til transporteren. For å gjøre det sistnevnte ble en ny metode for bestemmelse av bindingen av forbindelser til transporteren utviklet. Metoden ble også bruk i et steg i det stort database-søket som ble utført for å finne nye forbindelser som kan blokkere transporten av serotonin. Forbindelsene som ble oppdaget gjennom databases-søket ble testet eksperimentelt av våre samarbeidspartnere i Polen. Testingen bekreftet at flere av forbindelsene som ble oppdaget gjennom database-søket også i virkeligheten bandt til transporteren. |

Abstract: | 5-HT (5-Hydroxytryptamine; Serotonin) is the neurotransmitter with the highest number of known receptors in humans, and the importance of 5-HT is also reflected in the number of species using 5-HT as a signalling molecule and the number of 5-HT receptors found within each species. 15 human 5-HT receptors have at this date been characterised and classified into seven 5-HT receptor families. Six of the 5-HT receptor families encode G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), while one family, the 5-HT3 family, contains ionotropic receptors. The 5-HT receptors may play potential roles in conditions such as depression and anxiety, in neuroendocrine function and thermoregulation, vasoreactive headaches, sexual behaviour, food intake, and immune function. The human 5-HT1E receptor gene was cloned in 1992. The gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor of 365 amino acids that belongs to the rhodopsin family of GPCRs. The detailed three-dimensional structure of the 5-HT1E receptor is not known, and little is known about the function and distribution of the 5-HT1E receptor protein. No selective ligands for the receptor have been described. Insight into ligand-receptor interactions is of pivotal importance for designing new ligands with therapeutic potential and in order to study these interactions, three-dimensional structural information about the receptor structure is necessary. The x-ray crystallographic structure of bovine rhodopsin shares the same three-dimensional topology as the 5-HT1E receptor, providing the opportunity of using the homology modeling approach to construct a three-dimensional model of the 5-HT1E receptor. In the present study, a model of the 5-HT1E receptor was constructed using molecular modeling techniques and docking of a series of ligands into the putative binding site of the 5-HT1E receptor was performed. |

He'll need just as much creativity to get Catholic-centric radio back on the Denver airwaves, because frequencies come at a premium price. Right now, he's looking into the viability of low-power signals, among other options, and is eager to brainstorm with pros who may have additional ideas. "I would like to start a group for Catholic broadcasters to get together and chat and get to know each other. A group like that could be helpful to each other, and to the church."
In the meantime, Sequeira is continuing with his studies at Regis and leaving the possibility of a Catholic radio comeback in other hands. "If it's God's will," he says, "we'll find the right way."
Half a mouse is better than none: Speaking of spots on the Denver radio dial, one is likely to open up within the next year, thanks to a cost-cutting move on the part of Radio Disney.
The Disney format, aimed at tots and tweens, first came to Denver in May 1998, airing at 1550 AM on the standard band and 1690 AM in an extended portion of the spectrum. This dual frequency availability ended a few weeks back, when 1550 AM was abruptly muted, after some on-air promotion, for reasons that make plenty of cents to Radio Disney general manager Rhonda Sheya. "At a certain point, we had to make a decision about which one we would keep, and the signal is actually better on the upper band," she says. "Plus, we're moving our tower, and to move both signals when we're going to end up with just one is a waste of money" -- about $300,000 for less than a year, she estimates. Some home and car stereos ten years old or more can't pick up 1690 AM, but Sheya hasn't been inundated with grumbling about the shift: "Only three people called to complain, and when I told them to check their radios to see if they could get 1690, they called back to say they could."
Radio Disney's sudden wallet consciousness could be interpreted as a reaction to the recent downturn in teen pop -- a swing epitomized by the waning interest in maturing trollops like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera among the younger set (and their growing appeal to heavyset dudes who like to wear raincoats all year long). Not so, Sheya responds. She notes that Radio Disney continues to add outlets -- there are now 57 stations in the chain, whereas the total used to be in the forties -- and the Denver branch has increased its revenues each year. "I think the music is changing slightly, because some of the artists who've been in it, their music has taken a little more serious direction," she says. "But there's still a lot of interest in upbeat music, and since Disney cleans it up, it's something parents and kids can listen to together without worrying what someone's saying."
Concern about content is another reason Radio Disney pulled the plug on 1550 when it did. The company could have continued to broadcast on the frequency for as many as eight months more, but, Sheya says, "we wanted some time between when we were on the air and when someone else starts, because we don't know what the format would be. God forbid it would be something bad, some headbanging rock and roll, and people would think they were listening to Radio Disney. So we wanted some distance from something that might not be appropriate for kids."
The Federal Communications Commission is likely to choose who gets to do what on 1550. It's Sheya's understanding that Radio Disney can't sell the frequency but must simply turn it over to the FCC several months from now, thereby leaving the decision of which firm gets this potentially lucrative property up to the feds. Wannabe radio entrepreneurs of all stripes should start getting their applications ready now.

Three women, each from a different era in Arizona history, sit around a table playing cards and swapping stories.
One of them — Elizabeth Hudson Smith — says she was instrumental in shaping Wickenburg's culture at the turn of the century, but shunned when the town's economy went south.
The card game never happened, but the tales the women tell are true.
Their stories, as well as those of other lesser-known Arizonans of the past and present, are illuminated in "Untold Stories/Unsung Heroes," a play put on by Arizona State University's School of Theatre and Film. The show is part of Arizona's centennial celebration.
To pack 100 years of history into the play's 90-minute run time, its creators had to conceive a creative format for the show.
"The basic concept was the traveling wagon theater companies that would go into towns in Italy, and they would perform little skits," says Michael Kocher, a student actor. "We're trying to do a modern version of that."
Themes throughout the play are explored using different styles: dance, song, monologue, even shadow puppets.
Though the play is factual in nature, Pamela Sterling, its director, emphasizes that it's not dull.
"It's still very physical and very playful, and at times very funny," she says.
The play also delves into contemporary issues, often linking them to the past. Kocher's favorite scene has to do with SB 1070.
Another is about a young man packing up a wagon to head west to Arizona.
"We juxtaposed that with a story from an elder, living now, who talks about moving here in 1953 and packing up their trailer and moving here from Missouri because of her daughter's asthma," says Sterling.
Another part focuses on the contributions of Apache warriors and relates back to Lori Piestewa, the first Native American woman to die in combat on foreign soil.
You will learn about Borislav Bogdanovich, an artist and relative of film director Peter Bogdonavich, and George W. Parsons, a Tombstone lawyer and banker, who had a bird's eye view of the gunfight at the OK Corral.
The show was created in a class taught last fall by Sterling, also a professor. Students dug through archives of Arizona's history, interviewing sources and researching residents of the Grand Canyon State.
One of the difficulties for everyone involved was theatrically representing non-fictional people and events.
"It's a different kind of interpretation, and actually, I think it calls for more honest acting," says Sterling. "You're not allowed to comment on the character. You just say the words."
Staying faithful to history even challenged student set designer Kristin Blatchford.
"It's definitely left me with a greater appreciation as far as Arizona goes," she says.
"For people that are not a native of Arizona they'll be able to view new parts of Arizona and go, 'Yeah, that's why I moved out here.' Or people that are native can be like, 'Yeah! I remember when that happened,' or, 'I remember seeing that.' Everybody that sees it will be able to connect and will be reached on at least one level or another."

Penn State's Thon posts record-breaking total of $13,343,517.33
Sunday, February 23, 2014 6:43 PM
Bekah Rundall of Lemoyne holds a photo of her sister who passed away from brain cancer during Family Hour at Thon. Penn State's Thon broke last year's record of $12.37 million with a total of $13,343,517.33. The total was revealed Sunday at the 2014 Thon at the Bryce Jordan Center. This is the 42nd year for the student fundraiser. Thon is a 46 hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon. Since 1977, Thon has raised more than $101 million benefiting the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. Joe Hermitt, PennLive

This is a call-out to our own governor who would like to put a tax on pornography: Washington tried it, and the deal died before it ever hit the table. You think politicians are ever going to support a bill that taxes the one thing that is currently saving their marriage?
Rep. Ross Hunter of Medina told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer he would have liked to give the bill a hearing. But Hunter also says he has an obligation to help Washington simplify its tax structure. And he foresaw problems with a bill that would put a different sales tax on goods based on content.
Fair enough, because you are certainly entering murky territory with the whole "what qualifies as porn, anyway?" content-charge. But also, an 18.5 percent tax on porn? Are you kidding? Especially because how would you tax the free stuff most Americans are streaming on X-tube, anyway?
There are no comments yet. Post yours!

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 Ham!
Facts about Ham
- Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Merle
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ham's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Ham (M/5mos/22#) will make sure you get to the kitchen each morning to fix breakfast. Cattle dogs take their role very seriously and will herd (heel) people around. The breed has lots of energy and must have daily exercise to make for a happy well adjusted family member. Ham is a pretty blue merle and very alert. Cattle dogs are athletic and trainable.
Visit www.muttsavers.org for adoption procedures and documents. Adoption fee includes microchip for dogs 12 wks+ and Prepaid Pet Health Insurance for all animals.

MuttSavers Adoption Event ***Saturday *** 11:00 *** Broomfield PetCo @ 120th & Sheridan, 12163 Sheridan Blvd., Broomfield, 80020. MuttSavers is a foster based rescue organization. We cannot arrange adoption meetings prior to the adoption events.
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com to request information on fostering qualifications. We can't save them all but we can save the ones we have fosters for!
Each week MuttSavers rescues pups and young dogs from shelters that are forced to put animals to sleep every day because of limited space and resources. There are way too many dogs being born into unwanted and unhealthy conditions. MuttSavers pups are so happy to be rescued. They are receiving TLC in foster care and are looking forward to meeting you this Sat.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ham, a Broomfield Australian Cattle Dog/Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Cattle Dog/Cattle Dog for sale in Broomfield, or seeking a Australian Cattle Dog/Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Broomfield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Broomfield 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 Broomfield 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/Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Cattle Dog/Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Broomfield paves the way for another one to be saved.

I have always LOVED the snow, it has a magical quality that makes everyone smile when the first flutters fall. "It's snowing, it's snowing" resounds throughout the Country and we all plan sledging expeditions and snowman building followed by lashings of hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows.
So far, so lovely.
An added bonus of heavy snow in years gone by was the added excitement of a "snow day" either at school or in the office. This was always an unexpected treat and in later life as I worked for large TV channels, I would always try my best to get in, one day even riding in the cab of the train driver. I was the only one who made it into work that day. This ethos of good work/school ethics was passed on to me by my mother who yesterday spent 4 hours going 3 miles to work (she is 64) and I hope that I am instilling the same ethos into my children.
However, this year is different. This year I have my own business www.halolifestyle.com. This is the busiest week of my working year, with events to attend and client's orders that need processing in time for Christmas. I am at the mercy of others - Framers, Labs and courier services. Not to mention the fact that I need to do client viewings but don't have transport in order to do this. My deadline for Christmas orders is the 10th December so I need this snow to get a move on, if it doesn't then it will cost my business approx £10k. That's a LOT of money and a LOT of disappointed clients. This weather could make or break my business which is at the critical stage of making a profit and paying a salary.
It really is sNOw joke.

The simpler "no-pull" solution for your dog.
ThunderLeash is the simpler "no pull" solution. The innovative hardware turns a leash into a "no pull" harness instantly. The safe pressure greatly reduces pulling with no need for a harness. Professional dog trainer recommended. 100% satisfaction guarantee.
ThunderLeash will help make walking your dog a hassle free, positive experience for both you and your dog. Dog harnesses can be great tools for many dogs, but not everyone wants to make the effort to get one onto their dog or to have extra stuff to carry around. ThunderLeash is the perfect combination of simplicity and functionality. For those times you just need a standard leash for a quick walk or for times when your dog is well behaved, simply connect the ThunderLeash to your dog's collar just like any other leash. But for times when pulling might be a problem, simply wrap ThunderLeash around your dog's torso and slide it into the harness slot. Now whenever your dog pulls a mild pressure is applied to his torso and the pulling will quickly cease. With the ThunderLeash you will finally be able to walk your dog, instead of being walked by your dog.
No Need For a Separate Harness: ThunderLeash functions as a standard leash, and when you need it as a harness too!
Very Easy to Put On: Unlike standard harnesses, ThunderLeash is quick and easy to put on.
Easiest "No Pull" Solution: ThunderLeash's gentle pressure stops unwanted pulling with most dogs nearly instantly.
Great Training Tool: When puppies are learning proper leash behavior around new dogs and new people
Step 1: Follow the "Initial Fitting Instructions" to get the ThunderLeash adjusted to properly fit your dog in the "no pull" harness configuration.
Step 2: When you do not need the added control, you may use the ThunderLeash just as you would your standard leash simply by clipping it to your dog's collar. When a situation arises where you need added control, switch to using the "no pull" harness configuration of the ThunderLeash.
NOTE Distance needed between buckles will vary from dog to dog, adjust as needed.
For Harness Configuration
Clip the ThunderLeash onto your dog's collar and slide the leash strap into the harness position (see diagram left).
Wrap the ThunderLeash around your dog's torso, and slide it into the "harness slot" on the hardware.
Adjust the "slack buckle" until the ThunderLeash stays loosely against your dog's torso without tension on the leash.
You should be able to easily slide two fingers between the leash and your dog's chest when dog is not pulling.
The "safety buckle" prevents too much pressure from being applied when a dog pulls.
Follow the guidelines in the Buckle Adjustments table to position the "safety buckle". Adjust as needed.
To see a fitting instructions video click here
Unless your dog grows or changes weight significantly, after the initial fitting you should never need to adjust the ThunderLeash again! When you do not need the added control of the ThunderLeash, just clip it onto your dog's collar and use it as a regular leash. During situations where pulling is an issue or you need added control, simply slide the ThunderLeash into the harness slot and continue walking.
It worked on the very first walk! Miura quickly figured out the cause-and-effect that it would become snug around her chest and that she could control that. Because of the stops it never over-tightened her collar either. Great design!
My Trainer let me try the new Thunderleash, I was very surprised how easy it is to use and even more so how my dog responded to it. My dog loves to pull, she doesn't mind me well on walks, but as soon my trainer used the Thunderleash my dog did much better. We walked her for a while and she did great. Then my Trainer let me use the Thunderleash on my dog and I was amazed how well she did with me, she is a total different dog. She doesn't pull me now and walks just fine next to me. I love the color and the feeling of the Thunderleash in my hand and most of all I can use it as a regular Leash as well. Thanks to The Thundershirt Company and my Trainer Doris
I just got my ThunderLeash in the mail and OMG. My 110 pound rottweiler that use to pull me all over the place stopped pulling immediately after putting it on. I never thought that just a leash would stop her. I'm amazed and shocked that my dog that is the size of a horse was walking with me soo easily. A must have and my big baby actually likes it. After I took it off she keeps walking over to it trying to play with it.
My clients are thrilled with the immediate and lasting success that they have found using the ThunderLeash!! They are so happy that they pulling has been corrected in such a positive and safe manner.
Please upgrade your flash plugin to view this video.
Absolutely not! ThunderLeash's safety buckle ensures that ThunderLeash will only apply safe pressure to a dog's torso. The pressure is very similar to how harnesses work with Martingale loops… When a dog pulls, the loop snugs up a little, but the range is very limited. This safe pressure provides immediate, consistent feedback to the dog whenever she pulls. Perfect for combining with other positive-based training techniques for teaching proper leash manners.
ThunderLeash is a positive-based training solution. When leash pulling is a concern, ThunderLeash can be converted easily into a "no pull" harness by simply wrapping around the dog's torso using its innovative, patent-pending hardware design. The safety buckle adjusts to prevent any uncomfortable pressure for hard-pulling dogs. When a dog pulls, ThunderLeash snugs up on the torso, providing immediate, consistent and safe feedback to the dog. This feedback is excellent for combining with other positive-based training techniques for teaching proper leash manners.
The ThunderLeash works similar to the concept of the ThunderShirt. The gentle pressure applied on the dog's torso has a calming effect. This helps to refocus the dog while walking and helps to reduce pulling.
For most cases no training is necessary. Just put the ThunderLeash onto your dog and you will likely see improvement in leash pulling. The ThunderLeash can also be used in conjunction with the ThunderShirt for added benefits. For some more severe cases, you should consult a good trainer on how to integrate the ThunderLeash into a training program.
We stand behind our product! ThunderLeash is a terrific solution for leash pulling for most dogs. If you are not seeing desired results we encourage you to review this FAQ for possible suggestions to improve your results. You may also want to try using the ThunderLeash with the ThunderShirt for added benefits. We also suggest trying the ThunderLeash at least four times before making a final decision.

Please return your ThunderLeash to the place of purchase for a credit; we are unable to process returns for ThunderLeashes not purchased directly from ThunderWorks Company. If the place of purchase is unwilling to support the refund policy, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Updated: March 3, 2014 3:05PM
Today's gridiron granddaddy of gluttony is not only about NFL football, shameless commercialism and America's fascination with itself. It also offers us a daylong reflection of ourselves — what we want, what we value and what we deem important.
Today's column will break down the spectacle's X's and O's and pop culture significance, as well as its hype, hoopla, and histrionics. So let's huddle up.
Pregame analysis
This time of year is typically the coldest, longest, most boring time, long after we scream Happy New Year yet before we utter Happy Valentine's Day to our football widows. It's a sad, dreary netherworld that we try to flee from each year.
So why not flee toward the hysteria and happenings surrounding a five-hour global event that will be talked about by most everyone else on Monday? Isn't this the universal aspect of all spectator sports — to entertain us, to distract us, to be a handy accomplice in escaping from our lives, if only for a few hours?
The daily grindstone awaits us all. What's not to love about today's escapist reprieve from our own reality shows?
First quarter
This will be the first time the game has been held in the New York City metropolitan area, as well as being the first Super Bowl played outdoors in the northern United States.
But it's still one team of pampered, overpaid, egotistical behemoths playing a kid's game against another nearly identical team. The notable difference here is the NFL's best offense, the Denver Broncos, behind quarterback Peyton Manning, against the NFL's best defense, the Seattle Seahawks, behind outspoken cornerback Richard Sherman. (Too bad no Broncos player is named Crabtree.)
Did you already watch Fox News host Bill O'Reilly interview President Obama during the station's pregame show? Did they talk about Sherman versus Manning? Or anything about the "Stoner Bowl" or "Bong Bowl," because Denver and Seattle come from the only two states to legalize recreational use of marijuana?
Or did O'Reilly stick to his game plan by relentlessly blitzing Obama about political issues, sacking him for another loss in public approval? I'm looking for Obama to punt but not drop the ball. We'll see.
Second quarter
Football, like every other sport, creates a familiar huddle for people from different social classes, religious beliefs, political parties, and even geographical end zones.
Instead of rooting for what faith we worship, our lifestyle choices, or our political leanings, we can say we're Broncos fans, Seahawks fans or simply sports fans. By doing so, we get drafted to a roster of like-minded fans, transcending so many other societal walls, obstacles, and prejudices.
For me, it all boils down to competition. This is the essence of sports. All the other trappings shoved down our throat today are simply the price we pay to get our competition fix. And it's usually worth it. I don't care who wins. I just want a competitive game.
At this point, you're probably in need of a little entertainment, especially if you're not a fan of Bruno Mars or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. How about a little trivia to stump your friends?
Did you know the top-rated Super Bowl of all time, in TV viewership, was last year: Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers? (Second place was Super Bowl XX in 1986, Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots.)
Also, in the past 14 years, the city with the smaller population has won the Super Bowl 10 times, giving Denver the edge because it has 0.04 percent less people than Seattle, according to the U.S. Census. (The population of East Rutherford, N.J., where Super Bowl XLVIII will be played, is only 8,978.)
If you're still bored until the second half kickoff, check out these entertaining videos I found on YouTube: "A Bad Lip Reading of The NFL," at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRqKYXcL-2U; and a helmet-cam video from the Broncos' skydiving team showing a "touch down" at Mile High Stadium, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJI4nDod7Fg.
Third quarter
If by the 48th TV commercial during Super Bowl XLVIII you want to throw your remote control in a perfect spiral through your wide-open TV screen, keep this in mind. It's not the advertisers' fault for making us an ad, ad, ad, ad world. It's our fault.
We not only welcome commercials, we worship them, even as we pretend to ignore, detest, or protest them. Commercialism doesn't exist against our better judgment. Commercialism is our better judgment. But why?
"It's not always about the product, but about how the product or brand makes you feel," explained local advertising expert Martin Oleksy, co-host of "The Ad Men" radio show on Lakeshore Public Media.
Take, for example, today's Budweiser commercial about a cute puppy who befriends a Clydesdale horse. It doesn't just tug on our heartstrings, it yanks them. And we love it.
Get a sneak peek at today's commercials, costing an average of $4 million for a 30-second spot, here: http://voices.suntimes.com/arts-entertainment/the-daily-sizzle/watch-the-super-bowl-commercials-touchdowns-and-fumbles/.
Fourth quarter
The Super Bowl is also the granddaddy of gambling opportunities for novices and addicts alike. Whether we're betting in the office pool, against the local bookie, or with others online, the official sports books will handle roughly $200 million in wagers today.
Betters will wager their cash on all kinds of silly things before, during and after the game, including how many times Manning will yell "Omaha" from the line of scrimmage. Last I heard, the over-under betting line is 27 times.
For chronic gamblers or addicts, it must be like New Year's Eve for alcoholics, with so many opportunities to lay down their cash on something, anything. New Jersey's Council on Compulsive Gambling knows this so it launched a mobile billboard to drive around the stadium today with an (800) GAMBLER help line.
But I'm betting it doesn't get many calls, how about you? My prediction: Broncos 31, Seahawks 24.

The ease of clicking 'forward' to send all your friends those embarrassing, sexually explicit drunk texts you got last night from that one guy can now be shared with everyone else, via textsfromlastnight.com, a blogsite containing just that.
Texts such as 'glad my latex allergy prevents me from being a one-night stand whore,' 'I might be drunk enough to make out with you. You don't want to miss this unique opportunity,' and 'Put your party hat on. And by party hat, I mean no panties,' to name a few, are shared throughout the site, which just get either more explicit or more strange.

All in all, us 'terns have been ROTFL, gasping 'OMG, WTF?' and other texty-shortcuts, seriously laughing so hard to the point of tears. Yup, research at BUST is great! Posts are anonymous, only including the area code of the text origin and reply, if there is one. There's also a flickr photo pool linked to the site. It's a fun site--good for shits-and-giggles.

Donald's teaching strategy is "high tech, high touch" with the student, helping to ensure student success in the achievement of their learning goals. |
How has facilitating online courses at GCU helped you find your purpose? I find that helping students learn and achieve their degree goals is one of the most fulfilling measures of personal satisfaction and thus helps me meet my purpose in helping others to better themselves. What is one effective teaching strategy you use in your online classes? Reaching out to students in the online environment is an effective teaching strategy. Not only is timely communication with students important, it helps them to feel more connected with the course and me. I think this translates into better student success and achievement. What is a GCU online student success story you can share? I had a student in an online communication class who was having concerns about her writing abilities as she was not a strong writer. I worked with her on her skills, providing additional "coaching" and guidance. It was a wonderful feeling to see her writing skills improve by the end of the class and communicate with her knowing that I had helped set her up for future academic and professional success. |

Buy One, Get One 50% Off at Toys R Us
Posted by yellowcastle,Valid Sunday 4/1 through Saturday 4/7, "All" LEGO sets are Buy One, Get One 50% Off at Toys R Us. And by "All", Toys R Us is excluding Friends, Star Wars, Ninjago, Technic and Super Heroes. As always, try to pair sets at similar price points and with the least TRU markup in order to maximize your savings. Currently, most of the LEGO Direct sets are out of stock but keep checking throughout the week.
11 comments on this article
Time to tell everyone how much Toys-R-US Sucks and is out to cheat us. Went for their "buy one get one 50% off" (BOGO) on Legos. I was buying Minifigures, signs say $3.49, whichas you all know is marked up from everyone else,but I get to the register, they come up as $3.99. Funny, I bought some just a few days before the sale at $3.49. The lady at the register, saw the signs and changed it to the $3.49 and BOGO. I complained, she said corporate does it all the time. I checked other Lego sets, almost all the ones I check had been marked up from just a week ago. We all know TRU is overpriced on everything as it is, but to advertise and then mark up, that just shows their true colors. I am done with them, even with BOGO.
Toys R Us is wholly owned by Bain Capital of Mitt Romney infamy.
Does that shed any light on their business practices and strategies?
They do not care one iota if you storm off. Look it up.
I'm sure this is not the forum for political ranting. Not every Lego set is marked up. Last BOGO I got 2 Fire Brigades and 2 Grand Emporiums for the same price as Lego.shop...and free shipping. They just put a Lego store here and now Lego.shop now has to charge sales tax (which every American is required to pay whether the web site charges you sales tax or not) Toys r Us was obviously the better deal with the BOGO.
I'm pretty sure "every American" is not required to pay sales tax whether the website charges you or not. States like Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Alaska and New Hampshire don't have sales tax.
As for ToysRUs not marking up every set, that might be true, but it's close enough. Our local TRU doesn't have a single, and I mean single set for less than a 8% markup over MSRP. Most are in the 12-18% markup range. The Star Wars sets are even worse. They range from a 18-26% markup. Of course their B1G1 deals almost always exclude all of their current themed sets (this current deal excludes Star Wars, Super Heroes, Friends and Ninjago).
And I will confirm that they markup almost all of their products in the entire store when they have % off deals. Of course most stores do this. My local grocery chain is very guilty of this. I buy 6 packs of half liter Sunkist for $1.99 all the time. Then they have b1g1 free deals and the price jumps to $3.99 so you pay the exact same price per pack (but you're forced to buy two so it's actually a worse deal).
All that is not to say that you can't find deals when TRU has a B1G1 50 deal, it's just to say that you need to really dig to find them. Most of the time you'll only save when you are buying $150 + sets, most of which are out of stock currently.
I was talking about the states that have sales tax. Next time I'll consult Wikipedia like you did and be more specific. I live in Michigan and even if a website doesn't charge you sales tax you need to keep your receipts and pay the sales tax to the state at the end of the year.
I bought 2 Queen Anne's Revenge and even though it's $5 more than Lego.shop, it was still a good deal with BOGO.
Sorry about my previous post. I didn't mean to be "snippy". It's like when you look at a color and someone corrects you when you say it's tan and they say "actually it's taupe" You understand right?
TRU's prices are the biggest April Fool's joke of them all. Why? Because April lasts all year and we are the fools.
I totally agree doodlebird - I went to my local TRU to get some of the Series 6 minifigs while they were bogo and I was shocked to see them marked at $3.99! I know sometimes TRU marks them up to $3.50, but $3.99 is outrageous!
pitfall69 is referring to "use tax," which the State of Michigan claims "Use tax of 6 percent must be paid on the total price (including shipping and handling charges) of all taxable items brought into Michigan or purchases by mail from out-of-state retailers. It applies to purchases made in foreign countries as well as other states."
For your Michigan state tax return, you basically need to tally up your "untaxed" purchases, multiply by 0.06 and add that amount to your owed taxes. Personally, the "including shipping and handling charges" part makes me chuckle every time. Insane right?
The main issue on sales tax is who should really get it - the state where it was a) made b) shipped from or c) shipped to? Should there be a split? What's the weighting of such a split? It gets even more convoluted when cities get involved. State governors have been debating this for many years, and they are no closer to a resolution. Frankly, I think the only way it could be resolved is with a national sales tax of some kind.
If Michigan (or any similar state) was ever daft enough to try and enforce this use tax thing, the backlash would be unheard of. This is mostly because the other states (see a and b above) would sue the hell out of Michigan for their cut. Michigan is probably quite happy to just let the law sit as it is and let those who diligently pay their use tax voluntarily continue to do so.
Sorry to get away from the topic. Toys R Us sucks. TB, GE, FB, PS are out of stock - SURPRISE!
With all that said...Yes, I also agree that Toys r Us is a rip off most of the time :)
@Tensor, Michigan isn't "forcing" people to pay their use tax, but on our 1040MI there is a section for "use tax". If you don't have your receipts, you can use the handy chart to figure out what you have to pay based on your income. The use tax form used to be seperate from the 1040MI.
I am now an offender for going off topic :)
All I was saying is that there ARE deals to be had as long as they are in stock and yes, it is usually for the more expensive sets. I was really mad when TRU changed the price from 2.99 to 3.99 for each minifigure.
I don't see why TRU doesn't do what we do at our store. When we buy alot more than usual of a certain product, the vendor usually gives us a bulk discount. We never mark up our products before a big sale. We will sell a product for 25-30% off our normal retail, but would get 10-15% off our normal wholesale cost.

My boyfriend and I started having sex about a week ago. Our first time was also my first time having sex. The three times we've had sex so far, I've finished a lot earlier than him, and a lot earlier than I want to. Basically I'm on the brink of coming by the time things get hot and heavy near the end of foreplay. I have no problem getting him off and I've managed to hide my quickness so far by pretending to come into a condom or tissue. But it's hard to keep up the ruse, and sex would obviously be a lot more enjoyable if I had control over my own stamina. Is this something that happens to all guys their first few times, or is there something I can do to fix it?
Help! I'm in a relationship with a man (I identify as a straight woman) who identifies as queer. He's mostly had sex with men in the past (there might have been 1 woman), but this is first heterosexual relationship. It's also my first relationship with a queer man. I really care for him, but I am struggling with checking my own heteronormative attitudes. For example, I don't know how to get over the fact that he enjoys watching gay porn, and mostly gets off to men. We still have great sex together and I know he is attracted to me, and I try to remind myself of this when I find myself getting bothered by what turns him on. I'm learning to love, not accept, that he is queer and that he has made me shift my thinking about relationships and sexuality so much. However, I still don't know how to get myself out of these moments, sometimes ongoing, of insecurity.
When I was growing up, I often turned to my mother for relationship advice. We had our differences, but we were close, and I valued her opinions. However, I also found myself grappling with many of the things she said, because in all of it one thing was clear: for her, the only kind of acceptable sexual relationships are monogamous, heterosexual, long-term commitments.
We first started having these conversations when I was around 14 years old, which was also when I first started to question my sexuality. From the start, I had some questions about this concept. What if I did not want to sleep with men at all? What if I did not feel interested in the marriage-and-kids thing?
A few years later, after two failed relationships (with the same wonderful person) and a lot of angst, I was fairly certain about two things: 1. I was pretty darn queer and 2. I wasn't cut out for monogamous, long-term relationships at the time. I did not feel comfortable within a relationship, no matter how awesom
Read more...Hi! I am a 15 year old female and I think I may be bisexual, I have talked to a couple friends (who are straight) that I trust, They either said "It's just a phase don't worry" Or "There is only one way to know and that is to have sex/kiss another female." But I don't know any lesbian girls to do that with! I'm pretty sure it's NOT a phase but I need to know how to find out if I'm bi or not. My school/parents are not very accepting of lesbians, bi's and gays, so I wouldn't be able to talk to my parents. Another thing is I'm secretly sort of wanting to do something with a girl. Please help me!I feel so lost!
I'm a 17 year old male currently involved in a relationship of four months. I'm a virgin, and I am also "questioning" about my sexuality, but my girlfriend is unaware. There was a time when I would consider myself bisexual, because I am attracted, physically, to males but not emotionally, but I'm still not entirely sure that I am bisexual. My girlfriend is much more experienced than I am when it comes to sex, but she has never gone "all the way" and she wants to do this for the first time with me. I want to really bad as well, and we plan to soon, but I can't shake the feeling that I will be doing something wrong if I have sex with her and I'm still not fully comfortable or aware of my sexual orientation, or that I want to be in this relationship forever. I would however like to lose my virginity for the first time with her. Would it be wrong if I am still considering myself questioning and we still went all the way?

Latasha Walker
Early in her academic career as a freshman at a Clark Atlanta University, Latasha Walker realized the needs of the community surrounding the Atlanta University Center and responded to those needs. She, along with several of her peers formed a mentoring organization called N.I. A. (The Network of Inspiring Americans). Nia partnered with such organizations as the 100 Hundred Black Men of Atlanta and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., eta Lambda chapter to bring programing and mentors to schools and families near the Atlanta University Center.
In keeping with the spirit of activism and advocacy for children instilled within her has a young woman, Latasha has been known in Dekalb County as one of the most outspoken parents in the county and has been advocating on behalf of children and teachers in Dekalb County for over 8 years. She has also been an advocate for the Arts as she has a daughter who attended Dekalb Elementary School of the Arts and will be attending Dekalb School of the Arts in the fall. One may ask, what sets Latasha apart from the other candidates and from most politicians in general? Well for one, as a parent with a child in the Dekalb county Public school system, she can personally relate to and empathize with the direct needs of children and parents. Secondly, she is known for her 'tell it like it is' attitude and has not been afraid to challenge the school board and top administrators when it comes to tough issues. Her campaign is founded upon a pure agenda and has no need for politics and bureaucracy. While in Dekalb she has managed to raise a beautiful, successful daughter who has been recognized with one of the county's top honors: Board Scholar. Her daughter at the age of 12 has already taken the SAT through Duke University's TIPS program and has qualified to take online college courses offered through the university. Children have always been her top priority and this can be seen through her advocacy.
If elected, the needs of the children will continue to be the number one priority. Educational improvements, with emphasis in equality in education and reducing the socio-economic achievement gap have been issues that Latasha has spoken publicly about and also advocated for. Latasha, along with several parents started an advocacy group called MPTA (Motivating People to Action) which was later renamed as ABC (Advocates on Behalf of Children). ABC has had many successes, but one that they are most proud of is the work that it has done with Masika Burmudez the mother of Jaheem Herrera the young boy who committed suicide in DeKalb County due to bullying. Members of ABC worked alongside Ms. Bermudez, lobbyists and attorneys to help change the previously outdated bullying legislation and were even present at the time former governor Sunny Purdue signed the new anti-bullying bill. Latasha Walker will also continue to be an advocate for school board accountability and fiscal responsibility. She will remain the astute citizen she has always been. Will you support the pure agenda?

What could a World of Warcraft loyalty or veteran program look like? {WoW}
Feb 21st 2012 5:39PM Ah, the Raven Lord...I was farming that sucka for a year and a half. I told a paladin in the guild that he was there all the time now...later on, in the raid I notice him pull out the Raven Lord as a mount. HIS. FIRST. TIME.
I'm still spitting feathers...

Nov 30th 2011 10:02AM My guild is what keeps me playing - even though half a year ago two new arrivals fractured our three year guild and the core group of us shifted on over to another server. Since then we have raided pretty casually (although we have downed normal Raggy) and kept each others spirits up.
Also, I RP on a whim. And write fanfiction.

Breakfast Topic: What's been your best moment of cool? {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2011 4:00PM Am I allowed two in a row? Well...this is a short one.
Myself (a boomkin)and my friend (a feral rabid kitteh) had had just about enough of alliance gloating over how they win WG all the time. So, we waited a few minutes to allow the crowd to disperse so we could have a little bit of fun.
However...a warrior seemed to have the same idea and comes barreling past us (at what looked like nine times the speed of light) and lands straight in the thick of a 50 or so strong alliance group.
Before they realised he had ripped apart about four or five of them and had another bleeding. My friend and I immediately jump down and absolute hell breaks loose. We all popped CD's and went mental. By the time we were dead they were about 13 of the original 50 there (yes, we went absolutely BERSERK).
I still don't know how we did it but...we just did. I just stared at the screen awhile, then whispered to my friend over skype: "Did...we really just do that?"
My friend just laughed his sadistic laugh (he absolutely LOVES PVP).
Oh, and a warlock and her three or so mates MUCH later decided to lay into us that night. They kept on teleporting back into the chamber, laughing at us through the walls. Soon I realised that solar eclipse was the way forward and proceeded to Dot her with Insect Swarm. She tele'd in, laughed at me and looked to her healer friend...who was just vanishing via Hearthstone.
I just burst out laughing as my dot took her closer and closer to death when, at the last tick, it killed her. I can just see her face now...XD
Breakfast Topic: What's been your best moment of cool? {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2011 3:35PM My moment may not be that cool, but it was to me. EOE was our last raid for Champion of the Frozen Wastes, and we kept on wiping on phase three (the drakes). Around about the fifth time we try everyone dies with the boss at about 40% health - except me and a warrior. With the warrior healing me like crazy, I proceeded to nuke the living crap outta Malygos. The warrior's drake dies at 15% and the raid leader is just saying over vent "Wipe it...there is no way we are gonna down him this time". But, due to me carefully balancing combo points for the fire shield and rejuvenate (or whatever the hell that healing spell on the drakes is called) I manage to kill him.
I went nearly deaf on Vent that night :)

Oct 5th 2010 3:17PM I went three years without getting the ram, title or nuthin'.
But this year...I got all the Brewest Achievments (of course snagging Brewmaster along the way) and all the drops from Coren Direbrew, including the ram and the kodo. Weirdly, I got the kodo twice...may just keep that kodo as a memento. :D
Breakfast Topic: Let's talk about fun ways to die {WoW}
Oct 4th 2010 2:01PM My death? In Arathi Basin, at the Lumber Mill. Me and a priest were duking it out, and she kept on trying to MC me. But she died before she could complete the cast. I celebrated...only to be MC'ed by a priest behind me and sent over the edge of the cliff.
Ah...fun times...
Shifting Perspectives: Healers, selfishness and trouble ahead, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 31st 2010 5:11PM So...what I gather is that we just heal and heal and heal our way through Cataclysm content? Like in WOTLK? Instead, mana is going to be a bit more of a problem? I may have read wrong...but anyway, are they trying to give us some offensive potency as well? Wrath and the like are boosted while in TOL form...can we cast those while in TOL form? Or will we have to shift out like we do now?
I gotta say though...that mastery is pretty nice. Having increased potency to our HOT ticks the closer the person is to death will help healing a LOT...unless Masteries are not going to be very powerful - kinda like a side-dish to your healing (if you get what I mean).

The world has grown increasingly complex, resulting from the greater interdependence among world economies (Thompson, 2002). Successful organization is largely determined by how well the organization adjusts all its tangible and intangible properties to keep itself on track with its surrounding (Armenakes & Bedeian, 1999). Strategy was concerned to manage firm's activities and resources to the environment in which it operates. This essay will analyse the micro and macro external environment in the part five years (2000 to 2006) of IBM Company by using PESTEL and five forces model to analyse in the first part. The second part will discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of the two possible alternative strategies for IBM.
Part 1: Analysis of Micro and Macro External Environment
1.1 PESTEL Analysis
The external factors can be divided into six broadly categories which are political, environment, social, technology, environment and legal (Johnson, 2005). Such external factors usually are out of the firm's control and sometimes present themselves as threats. In this case, political factor, environmental factor and technology factor will be used to analyse the computer technology industry.
Political factor
The Iraq War is an ongoing war which began with a United State led invasion of Iraq in 2003. This war affected to the world economy, especially, USA who directly war with Iraq. Fear of a possible U.S. led war with Iraq soured investors' sentiment in U.S. stock market. Furthermore, technology stocks in European market plunged following down results from sector giants Microsoft and IBM stocks fell down (CNN.com). This is because of everyone is negative on Iraq and in combination with the darkness surrounding of technology. However, IBM Company is strong enough to fight with this pressure as its revenue more than 50% is from outside U.S.
Environmental factor
All computer technology manufactures are the global companies, thus, they can...
