Less than two weeks after playing in the football playoffs, rivals Maiden and Lincolnton went at it again ŌĆö this time on the basketball court.
The Wolves held off a fourth quarter rally by the Blue Devils to earn an 88-84 triple overtime victory in Lincolnton.
Lorenzo Carter and Alonzo Moseley scored a combined 67 of the Wolves' 88 points in the game. Carter scored 39, while Moseley added 28 points.
Lincolnton pulled ahead 10-2 early in the contest behind six points from Carter, but Maiden gathered itself and eventually tied the contest at 19-19 before the end of the quarter.
Prep basketball, wrestling and swimming dominate the local sports schedule this week. CVCC and Lenoir-Rhyne basketball teams are also in action.

On Thursday, it will become illegal in North Carolina to dismember a body to conceal a crime.
N.C. Session Law 2011-193, also known as ŌĆ£ZahraŌĆÖs Law,ŌĆØ will go into effect. The new law makes it a felony to disturb, vandalize or desecrate a human body in an attempt to conceal a death or murder.
The law was initiated by the district 25 attorneyŌĆÖs office and will re-word an existing law to make dismembering a corpse to conceal a crime up to a Class D felony.
State representatives Mark Hilton and Tim Moore drafted the bill that has roots in the Zahra Baker case.
School safety threats waste time and money, and students who make threats face serious consequences.
That's the message Catawba County school administrators and the sheriff say parents should teach their children, following a handful of safety hoaxes in the past month at several county schools.
In light of several apparent "copy cat" bomb hoaxes made at area schools in recent weeks, The Observer News Enterprise clarified its reporting policy on those types of false alarms.
"The O-N-E will not report on any bomb threat hoax that occurs at any school in our coverage area," said O-N-E Publisher Michael Willard. "We believe the proliferation of news stories reported by media outlets in Catawba County and throughout the region only serves to exacerbate a serious problem that wastes a significant amount of time for law enforcement and school administrators."
When Mary Furtado applied for the International City County Management Association (ICMA) Fellow program in 2004, she was asked to list the governments she most wanted to work with. Catawba County was at the top of her list.
Seven years later, she gets her wish.
Furtado will soon begin working as Catawba CountyŌĆÖs new assistant county manager.

Over the past few days we've seen a selection of spy photos from the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles featuring Megan Fox (Transformers) as April O'Neill, and now courtesy of ComicBookMovie we may have our first look at the Foot Clan in the live-action reboot, thanks to two rather blurry images of costumed characters said to be "hunting the Turtles":
Meanwhile, Access Hollywood has delivered a shot of Pete Ploszek (Parks and Recreation), Jeremy Howard (How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Noel Fisher (Battle Los Angeles) as Leonardo, Donatello and Michaelangelo… pre-CGI of course… in chains and surrounded by said bad guys. Raphael to the rescue?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is slated for release on June 6th 2014, with Michael Bay (Pain & Gain) producing and Jonathan Leibesman (Wrath of the Titans) directing a cast that also includes Alan Ritchson (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) as Raphael, Danny Woodburn (Seinfeld) as Splinter, and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) as Vernon Fenwick.

I was able to restore my computer finally and now internet explorer is acting up and I think its because it wants me to update to internet explorer 8 and I cant because I don't have windows vista service pack 2 which it did before I restored it. But I have tried to do the update which fails and I have tried to go on microsoft download center and it still fails I have also downloaded the tool thats supposed to help it install but nothing is working I want to update my computer to windows 7 when I can afford it but I don't think I will be able to if this package isn't installed because I have tried windows 7 trials which haven't worked someone please help!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you download SP2 as a standalone or try updating your computer from the internet? If you do not have SP2 you can download it from the MS download centre When you restored the computer did you take it back to the original factory defaults or use an image you had created at some point? If it is only IE playing up you could consider another browser like Firefox, Opera, Chrome or any of the others available free |
Also, System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) [November 2012] http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=504 Is that the tool you downloaded above? We also need the exact error message you're getting. Joe |
On my vista computer I have SP2 along with IE 9 (not 8), btw. |
I dimly recall something similar when I restored my vista computer prior to giving it away. The updates did not all sequence at once but I just kept trying to install whatever showed up when I called for updates. It took about three weeks in total, with more stuff showing up on weekends and quiet hours. Probably most of needed SP2 is already there in dribs and drabs. |
owbist yes I downloaded SP2 as a standalone and I also tried to download it from MS download center but neither worked I get the same error everytime Error 80073712 |
Yes zep516 that is the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista that I used and the Error Message is 80073712 thanks |
Yes I took the computer back to factory settings and that is when it uninstalled the newest ie and I also think this is why the trial for windows 7 won't install |
OK. You need to focus on getting windows up date working first before anything, The next thing to try is running System file checker, To run the System File Checker, complete these steps: 1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box. 2. In the results area, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be prompted to type the password for an administrator account. Click Continue if you are the administrator or type the administrator password. Then, click Continue. 3. At the command prompt, type Sfc /scannow, and then press ENTER. |
You need to have Service pack 1 installed first, before service pack 2, so might want to check that. Here's a link |

Nuclear research and development for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies was conducted in Area IV of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory from 1954 to 1989. Restricted to the 290-acre Area IV in the northwest portion of Santa Susana, the work included developing and operating small research reactors, fabricating and disassembling nuclear fuel, and testing of large-scale liquid metal components such as pumps and heat exchangers.
Starting in the 1960s, facilities were closed and decommissioned as the government phased out research programs. The last reactor was shut down in 1980, and nuclear research ceased entirely in 1989. Since then work has focused on facility Decommissioning & Decontamination (D&D) and environmental remediation.
Working with the DOE and with oversight by federal and state agencies, Boeing is conducting cleanup of Area IV. This project is known as the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC) Closure Project. The DOE hosts a web site describing its operations and environmental remediation in Area IV.
The DOE ETEC Web Site provides extensive information of the historical operations and past and current cleanup activities in Area IV. The links below provide the major sections of the web site. See the DOE ETEC Site Map for detailed content.
Decommissioning & Decontamination at Area IV is currently on hold pending completion of an Area IV-wide Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), to investigate the impact of remedial action alternatives of residual chemical and radiological contaminants. As part of the EIS, DOE is conducting chemical co-located sampling in Area IV. And has signed an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to perform a radiological survey and sampling of Area IV.

Jobs is a four-letter word
The four-letter word of 2009 continues to be "jobs" – or the lack thereof – and Friday's employment situation report isn't expected to change that.
Despite an economists' consensus last month that the "worst recession since the Great Depression" is over, most households won't buy it until we recoup the 7 million or so jobs lost in the economic abyss.
The 8:30 a.m. release by the Bureau of Labor Statistics gives us our national unemployment rate but is worth delving into more deeply for detailed jobless data sliced by various demographics.
Don't wait until tomorrow to job your story-generating brain cells – scroll down to the bottom of the October report and peruse the supplemental tables for stats that are pertinent to your market.
One source of analysis I hadn't previously been aware of is Quebec City, Canada-based Wanted Technologies, a consulting firm that forecasts hiring demand for business clients. They also produce a monthly prediction ahead of the employment situation report; it's accessible on their Web site.
I'm not sure how accessible their U.S.-based jobs market analysts are but it's worth a try. Regarding Friday's report, they're anticipating that October figures will reflect the loss of a mere 224,000 jobs, an improvement from 263,000 in September.
Other sources of comment on your local market include temporary staffing agencies (the smaller independents are more likely to be candid), economists at the Federal Reserve Bank that oversees your region, your state's employment commission and economists or human resources faculty at area business schools.
Stock markets typically react to the updated unemployment rate, so brace for that.
More relevant to you is your reader's reaction. It helps to balance out dismal updates with news they can use about local openings, job fairs and retraining programs.
And, check out this previous post with more ideas for localizing holiday hiring and other employment trends.
Looking ahead
After a barrage of economic data this week, take a breather, because next week's round of cyclical reports is tame. Earnings reports are still flooding out, though, so be sure to check a financial calendar such as this one at Bloomberg for important releases in your realm.
Other reports expect next week include:
Nov. 12: Initial jobless claims
Nov. 13: University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment

Knee injury hasn't kept Pryor from running the Buckeyes
Here's a story filed Monday by Adam Jude:
LOS ANGELES — Talk of Terrelle Pryor's legs dominated the discussions during press conferences Monday morning at the Marriott Los Angeles Downtown.
And that's exactly what Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti is hoping does not happen in the Rose Bowl on Friday.
Not long after Aliotti expressed concerns about slowing down the cat-quick Ohio State quarterback, Pryor took the stage for his first interview in five weeks and casually noted he has a partially torn ligament in his knee. No big deal, he noted several times.
Then, as his 44-minute session was coming to close, Pryor had to answer a series of questions about why he missed Ohio State's appearance Sunday in the "Beef Bowl" at Lawry's restaurant in Beverly Hills, a 54-year-old Rose Bowl tradition.
Turns out, Pryor and two other teammates didn't pack the proper dress pants as required by Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, so Tressel didn't allow them to attend the dinner with the rest of the team. They ate at a local mall instead.
By the time he sat down for a wide-ranging interview in front of several dozen media members Monday, Pryor said he was hungry for only one thing: a BCS bowl victory that has eluded the Buckeyes for the last three years.
"It's just huge, man. It's huge," he said. "From my standpoint and for the Buckeyes, and from the seniors' standpoint, we must win. It's not a maybe win or something like that, we must win. We have to win."
As he walked onto the practice field later at the Home Depot Center in nearby Carson, Pryor revealed the personal importance he's placed on this Rose Bowl: a tattoo covering his right forearm featured the Ohio State "O" in red, with a long-stemmed rose encircling it.

Back to the Horde {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2009 1:05AM I've played both, though most of my friends are alliance, so I am mainly alliance. (Also, the barrier of entry of starting anew with no resources...)
I find the divide is more of (discounting BE's) Horde as "primitive" and Alliance as "refined". The Alliance might be xenophobic, but I mean... it was an invasion, duh. It wasn't THAT long ago!
Meanwhile, the Horde seeks "redemption", without penalty. They are fighting for "survival" by taking stuff from other people. They went to Kalimdor to "find peace"? Uh, there were already folks there!
Both sides have trouble makers, and the Horde does even less to reign them in than Alliance does. At least the Defias/ Dark Iron were mainly against the Alliance, the Horde bad folks want to make Uberplague or burn down inns in swamps...
The Horde seems to go by the idea that "we don't endorse it, so we're not responsible for it" in a lot of situations.
(I always got the impression that the fleet causing trouble for newbie trolls/orcs were also being hounded by the alliance proper, in sort of a link to the Theremore defects.)
I liked the Forsaken starting quests that portrayed them as trying to make do, but then they had to add in quests that just made them "evil" in some fundamental ways.
I liked the BE's well enough, but they are basically differently skinned NE's, both have that "oh, we have suffered so, but we're still better than you!" vibe. At least the NE's have the Cenarion faction that seems to understand that their leader is a jackass.
Trolls would be fun if they weren't built on an accent, I hate that. There's also plenty of trolls around that aren't Horde, so it's not like the troll instances really have special meaning to a troll player, IMO.
Orcs are boring to me, from many years of tolkien/D&D orcs. They are not new, they are not cool, they are just more "we need a homeland, so we'll take one" types. I doubt they tried to integrate with the humans, but of course they were too xenophobic to gives orcs a chance... right. I didn't see the orcs heading back to Outland either, guess a new Dark Portal opening isn't enough of a cue to migrate.
Humans are a baseline race, and as such they are boring as heck.
Dwarves and gnomes are allies because they always have been. It's a generations long alliance of humans/high elves/ dwarves/ gnomes. I'd probably say the dwarves are the most honorable of the 10 races really. Orc's "honor" mostly stems from "I bash you" mentality.
Gnomes didn't blow up their city because they were busy tinkering. they were invaded, and it's quit tragic. Gnomes were welcomed in to Ironforge on a level that shows how tight the dwarves and gnomes are. Orcs and trolls share a place, but it just feels ODD to me, I don't know.
For me, gnomes are my first love, since long before WoW, and will always have priority. The fact horde asshats are always mocking gnomes because it makes them feel all big and mighty, well that's just another reason not to roll horde.
Also, for Wrynn's new war, I think it's perfectly justified.
1) It's not like there was a real "peace", that's what Battlegrounds ARE folks. The war never really ended, it just turned into regional skirmishes.
2) Undercity by it's very nature shows the degradation of the Horde. The Forsaken didn't redeem the city, they wallowed in it's filth. They have entrails laying around, they have rivers of green toxicity, they exalt in the worst features of their undead nature. They didn't take up the seat of power and raise it to new heights, they moved into it's Sewers!
3) Thrall, theoretically, saw the "best" of humanity when some helped him escape, whereas Wrynn has seen the "worst" of the orcs, and apparently no redeeming qualities shown through.
Anyway, the Wrynn thing won't "matter" since the Alliance won't WIN, but I wouldn't doubt if they're just setting up Wrynn for the next expac. It'll probably have him fleeing back to the Defias undersea stronghold so you and 24 friends can kill him... :-p
Forum post of the day: Life Tap dancing {WoW}
Jan 28th 2009 2:53PM There is no reason to NOT get healing, but the abilities we have to self-heal are also part of dps. Siphon Life heals us by damaging them, Haunt heals us and damages them, et cetera.
So, I'm using them either way, if you heal me, you or I is overhealing generally. In a dungeon or two, I've actually had as much healing on the meter as the healer did. :) (It's self-only though, of course.)
Lifetapping on the pull means you've run too low on mana, and really, you must already be damaged if you go to 10%. That means you're relying on the healer to bring you up, as Haunt/ SL won't.
One of the things i liked with a warlock is the self-sufficiency, depending on others like that seems like bad class-play.
So, I've always told my healer not to worry too much about me unless things are going real bad, and in those situations it's generally the entire party crashing and I won't be lifetapping through AE damage.
So, no, no harm in healing a aff-lock, at all. It just is one of those "this isn't maximum efficiency" things. :)
Acme Anvil of the Righteous {WoW}
Jan 25th 2009 8:05PM I don't have a pali, but I do love my warriors noise. Slicing, explosions, rumbling, woosh of a charge, these things are great!
The funniest thing is, on my lock, I'm so used to that sound cue for my free shadowbolt proc, when they use it for monsters sometimes I'll accidentally start casting when I don't mean to. :)
The Queue: Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! {WoW}
Jan 25th 2009 3:45PM I may be the only one that still cares, but I found the gnome priests from a topic a week or two ago!
Nethergarde Priests, a bunch of them are gnomes.
(I still think there's some other ones around, but just noticed the nethergardes recently.)
Breakfast topic: Of Newbies and n00bs {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2009 1:15PM I don't mind answering questions on quests, and things like asking where the mailbox is or such, I can see. (Sure, they show on radar, but you need to hit the right area to get to it.)
But, I've gotten so tired of "where do you find (quest location)" when it's spelled out in the quest text. Sure, not all quests are perfect, but asking where the stables are for the DK quest? It's just gotten horrible in Northrend.
Breakfast topic: Of Newbies and n00bs {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2009 12:29PM The voidie, for me at least, was always one of those "shelf" powers. When you learned a new rank of Torment, he'd be great, but your powers would quickly outpace it unless you really tried to do nothing. Eventually, he was near worthless if you weren't going low-damage/ long draintank type of encounter. (This as affliction.)
So, yeah, most lock's just shelve big blue unless they want the invulnerability on tap. Even succubus doesn't see alot of use for me. (Felpuppie, Imp are it.)
Things that don't annoy me {WoW}
Jan 20th 2009 1:17PM I have a female gnome warrior (prot) and it's always been fun smacking stuff around with her. Besides, one of the best jokes (/silly) in the game is the lady gnome:
""I apologize profusely for any inconvenience my murderous rampage may have caused."
(and "I've discovered that getting pummeled by a blunt weapon can be quite painful." or "You know... squirrels can be deadly when cornered." also bring to mind a tank as well. :)
Breakfast topic: Poaching {WoW}
Jan 19th 2009 7:59PM What I wonder, and would like to see an explanation for;
Random Guild Invites
I'm not talking about some jackass with a charter that needs to get signatures, so he spams random strangers. I'm talking the guy that invites you to his established guild.
Why would they want Random Guy #54b?
Why would anyone in their right mind want to JOIN such a guild?
10 things I learned from a destitute alt on an RP realm {WoW}
Jan 18th 2009 10:02AM I made a blood elf on the same server as my alliance mains, haven't played it in forever. Still, with mining, skinning and selling cloth and such, he's at 17th level with about 100g. It's not as much as some folks, sure, but for his level I think he's doing great. (Certainly better than most of my other alts did coming up.)
I've found that the Stones are also pretty decent, I think lots of folks that don't use them, just vendor them rather than auctioning them.
Phat Loot Phriday: Titansteel Shield Wall {WoW}
Jan 17th 2009 10:28AM While your point is valid, when a tank just hits 80, Heroic CoT or 35 badges is not exactly as "easy" as throwing some mats at a blacksmith and having this shield.

The best mobile ad so far
This has to be the best ad for mobile phones in India by far. It's the Spice Popkorn phone ad which had lots of airtime during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. "Subramanium, Almoonium….". Hilarious !
Hitler Lock !
I went to Hampi some time ago. The hotel where I was staying used a rather imaginatively named padlock.
Yeah, you read that right. It is a "Hitler Star" lock , 8 levers and "Hitler Tested – OK" ! While this is amusing at first, I am not sure how someone Jewish would feel. Some googling reveals that this morbidly named brand is quite popular with sightings all over India. It is in fact churned out at "Hitler lock enterprises" in Aligarh, the headquarters of the Indian lock industry.
This also reminded me of the Hari Sadu ad which was incredibly popular on TV a few years ago.
My feeling is that Indian's overall know Hitler as a "bad person", but have now come to associate his name with a mild rebuke which is hardly insulting. I feel that the majority of Indians are hardly aware of the horrific crimes perpetrated by this deranged man. Instead I've noticed some folks actually try to magnify Hitler's connections with India by propagating his ridiculous Aryan theories and citing the use of the Swastika. Why ? Here is a Wall Street Journal article I found which does a good job at explaining this curious Indian fascination with Hitler.
Rewarding Cricketers – Worth it
After the Indian cricket team won the cricket world cup 2011, there have been, predictably, politicians and businessman outdoing each other in doling out obscene amounts of cash, cars and assorted knick knacks. There has also been, predictably, indignation from the people and media who claim that the cricketers are rich anyway, so why go all crazy with the gifts ? Government distributing taxpayer money to ridiculously rich cricketers particularly rankles them.
I wonder how many people have thought about all the positive economic fallout of India's historic win ? I'm pretty sure that the seminal and final bought record liquor sales to the state exchequer. Surely this figure runs into hundreds of crores of rupees – easily covering the one crore some state governments have promised to players. The world cup victory will no doubt translate into more sales of cricketing merchandise and sporting gear and increased enrollment in summer cricket camps. Increased ad-spend on all TV networks. Not to forget the huge amounts of money that companies and people have spent during the six week long world cup itself. All, no doubt significant benefits to the economy.
So, to all the people, especially those in the media who constantly bitch about cricketers being over-awarded, shut the fuck up.
Worst and Best Indian 3G Ads
Now that India finally gets 3G technology, Indian mobile operators are busy rolling out 3G ads during the cricket world cup. The worst of all the 3G ads has to be the series from Reliance. Their attempt to convey that 3G allows you to easily multi-task is crap. Note that their ad series doesn't actually show anyone multi-tasking, instead the characters mouth supposedly funny clever sequences. Doesn't work at all and is fucking annoying.
The Worst:
The best 3G Ad is the Vodafone ad. Although I have mixed feelings about the ZooZoo and I thought the idea was getting stale, however this was fantastically done. The ad has catchy music and links the superman concept to the potential of 3G amazingly well.
The Best:
Best English Neutral Accents
I was recently watching a documentary on Charles Correa and what struck me, was the way Mr. Correa spoke – he had one of the best English neutral accents I've heard. The other person I can think of who speaks excellent accent neutral English is Harsha Bhogle.
Car key lock status idea
I'm always worrying whether i've locked the car using the remote electronic key crap. I've had to walk back many times to the car after parking to check if I've remembered to lock it. I was thinking why not have an indicator on the key itself which says whether the car is locked or not. Well I'm pretty sure someone's thought of this earlier, but why don't we have something like that ? I badly need a key like that for in fact anything that needs to be locked. The constant worrying about whether I've locked something is starting to annoy the crap out of me. How fucking hard can it be, lock and key industry ?
Always bargain
Here's a tip that I got from my dad which has proved to be successful many times. Whenever you shop for something and you're about to pay, ask the seller for a discount. It's surprising that how many sellers are willing to offer one and how many buyers don't bother asking. I've saved quite a bit over the years just by asking for discounts. Here are some tips. Firstly, don't demand a discount, ask for one politely. For instance you can start by asking simply "Is there a discount on this item ? ". If the answer is no, try again by mentioning a season – "What's the Diwali/New Year discount ?" . A classic follow up question is to mention that the item in question is available for cheaper elsewhere. Just make up a place and say that you've heard is cheaper there. Another alternative is to play the emotional angle – "Don't you want me to shop at your place again ? Don't you want me to refer my friends to your place ? ". Try these approaches and you will be surprised. I've tried it on everything – shoes, clothes, books, spectacles, helmets. This works on services as well not just products. Don't ever take anyone's quote at face value – persist and you'll save !
You might be thinking – what a cheapskate ! But you know what every seller has a huge margin, so you're getting ripped off anyway. Getting something off the price just makes it feel a little better. Don't feel bad in asking, after all the seller doesn't feel bad in quoting a price he likes.
Happy bargaining!
Donate to Wikipedia
I donated to Wikipedia ! I've been wanting to do it for sometime, but somehow kept putting it off. Wikipedia has been running a fund raiser campaign for a while and it served as a perfect reminder for me to donate. Wikipedia has become such a major part of our lives that we don't often stop to think about the effort it takes to keep it running. Right from the hard work of the volunteers that goes in to create and maintain the content to the huge cost the of the IT infrastructure required to run the number five website in the world. Importantly, Wikipedia is free to use and is kept ad-free ! All this can only happen with support from donors.
This is the e-mail which I received from Sue Gardner, after I made the donation. It does a much better job of explaining on how the donations will be used :
Dear Suhrid,
Thank you for your gift of USD XXX to the Wikimedia Foundation, received on December 11, 2010. I'm very grateful for your support.
Your donation celebrates everything Wikipedia and its sister sites stand for: the power of information to help people live better lives, and the importance of sharing, freedom, learning and discovery. Thank you so much for helping to keep these projects freely available for their more than 400 million monthly readers around the world.
Your money supports technology and people. The Wikimedia Foundation develops and improves the technology behind Wikipedia and nine other projects, and sustains the infrastructure that keeps them up and running. The Foundation has a staff of about fifty, which provides technical, administrative, legal and outreach support for the global community of volunteers who write and edit Wikipedia.
Many people love Wikipedia, but a surprising number don't know it's run by a non-profit. Please help us spread the word by telling a few of your friends.
And again, thank you for supporting free knowledge.
Sincerely Yours,
Sue Gardner
Executive Director

Gym attendance surprise
It has been exactly two months since I joined a gym. Since I paid a considerable amount of money, I was motivated enough to go "regularly". Other than about a weeks break when I was traveling, I was in the gym pretty often. So, when I looked at my workout card today, I was surprised to see how many days I actually went. I always thought that my attendance would be around 75%. In reality it was 50% ! Damn. So over a period of two months, I was in the gym for just a month. All those I'm-going-to-skip-today, Sundays and sick days – they weren't too many, but they added up to be quite a bit. Anyhow, this shows how deceptive our perception of commitment to a task can be. In general it also shows how people being lazy is a good thing for a gym. I always wondered how the gym kept signing up new folks regularly but the place never seemed to get crowded. I suppose the overall attendance averages out to somewhere between 25 to 30%. So it is in the best business interests of the gym for people to be lazy. (Of course, after they sign up). Freakonomics anyone ? In terms of weight loss, I just lost a couple of kilos over two months. I am reasonably happy with this and I credit this to the fact that I watched what I ate. This whole working out thing is something that keeps you fit and healthy. It really doesn't help you to lose weight, at best it keeps you from adding more. You have to eat less. Period. Don't believe anything what anyone promises in terms of weight loss, losing weight is hard work and it takes time.
Diwali Insanity
Yes, today is Diwali. The worst fucking day of the year. This is when shit-heads all over the country burst crackers the whole freaking day and night. The crackers are ear-drum-puncture loud. OK, it may make sense to light a few symbolic crackers/fireworks to celebrate the festival of light and all that pile of horseshit. But why in God's name do you have to fucking do it every second of the day you sick retards ?
Why dirty the already filthy streets ? Why turn the chaos into a cacophony ?
I was dreaming up the horrific abuses that, given the chance, I could mete out to these vile bastards. I was typing it here, but then realized that these particular sentiments could cause me to be branded as a social psychopath.
But I think we know who the real psychopaths are. Happy Diwali.

About the Authors
Excellent Food Storage Ideas and Recipes
by Customer - reviewed on June 15, 2009
When I heard Leslie Probert speak at the BYU Education Week in 2008, I knew I wanted her "Emergency Food in a Nutshell" book. Even though speakers don't promote their books during their talks, I ran over to the BYU bookstore to see what she had written. This book is a GREAT learning tool for those wanting to understand what food storage is, and how to use it. The beginning of the book answers questions about food storage such as: "Can I get enough nutrition from dried or canned foods? Or "How can I afford the expense of acquiring my food storage?" The next section teaches you how to make a food storage plan. Various charts help you create your own four and five week menus, and the appendix contains sample menus which are invaluable. And there are 200 recipes created with storable foods! The useful index helps you find recipes by ingredient. This one is a keeper in my food storage library.
Healthy, delicious meals from storage!
by Debra - reviewed on February 06, 2008
I've read so many books on food storage and this is the best one I've come across. I bought two copies and I am now buying one for each of my children to have. It makes preparedness do-able -and the recipes are delicious. Now we plan to incorporate our storage into everyday meals for healthier eating.

The Old Confederate Veteran at Rosenberg Texas
Back of photo says: "The one with the + above his head is brother Daniel Bundrant. This picture was given me at his death. Nancy J. Raines"
Note: Nancy Jane Raines (born 1872) was the daughter of Hardin A. Bundrant and had a brother, Daniel Bundrant, but he could not have been a Civil War Veteran because he was not born until 1859. Hardin A. Bundrant had a brother DANIEL GILLEY BUNDRANT who did fight in the Confederate Army. I am not certain which Daniel Bundrant is in the photo. It is not dated.

I just cut down a number of large white pine trees in my back yard. A couple of them had huge above grade roots, and I don't want to try and pay for stump removal or grinding.
So I started thinking, they are in great spot - now that there's no shade there - to mound up some soil and put in a big circular bed. But I am wondering if the acidity in the soil or the decomposing stump/roots would be detrimental to certain plants, or if I could plant things as I normally would. Any thoughts? I was thinking of annuals or vegetables, no shrubs or woody plants. It probably would be at least a 20ft diameter mound, which is pretty large. But I'm just trying to brainstorm at this point! |

You should be able to mound soil and plant over it. Pine especially decomposes quickly. I would not expect any problems from the stumps, but the soil might be rather depleted from having a big tree there. So how about putting a thick layer of manure or compost down first, then topsoil. No need to rototill, the worms will move it around. |

Tour de l'Aude Stage 2 Rieux Minervois – Rieux Minervois, 103.5 km The riders started in heavy rain today on the second stage of the Tour. Taking a basically circular route from Rieux Minvervois in a clockwise direction, the first real climbs of the Tour were tackled today. The race stayed together, riding tempo until the climb. A small breakaway went, but was unable to gain any real advantage. As the climb became progressively steeper, the road narrowed and there were more corners. A group went away, driven by the race leader and her team, Loës Gunnewijk (Buitenpoort-Flexpoint). As they went through the first Mountains Competition point, there were several groups on the road. The first contained several T-Mobile riders (Bessette, Bruckner Baldwin, Anderson, Arndt), eventual stage winner, Priska Doppmann (Univega), a number of Équipe Nürnberger riders, including Trixi Worrack, Edita Puckinskaite (Nobili Rubinetterie) and several of the Buitenpoort-Flexpoint team (Gunnewijk, Ljungskog, Melchers van Poppel). Two or three further groups had formed on the climb, but things basically came back together on the descent. A further set of attacks on the short, but steep climb of Col de la Croix de Sous meant that the race was split into groups again, this time, the gaps created were sustained to the finish line. Some accidents on the run-in caused concern for the Univega and Nürnberger teams. Sarah Grabb (Univega) has a suspected broken collarbone. The lead group sprinted hard into the narrow finishing straight in Rieux Minervois and it was Priska Doppmann who had the best legs. She crossed the line for a clear win over Trixi Worrack and Theresa Send (AA Drink). The race lead stayed with the Buitenpoort-Flexpoint team but moved from Loës Gunnewijk to Susanne Ljungskog.

"I did extensive research on log furniture before my purchase from thegoodtimber.com. What I found out during my research was that there are many places where you can buy log furniture... but none of them even come close to the quality, craftsmanship, or customer service provided here. Pictures cannot do this furniture justice. This furniture is the highest quality you'll find any-where and at a fraction of the price!!"
Jeremy W. in Medford, OR
"Having received and assembled my new custom bed from The GoodTimber one word comes to mind...AMAZING!!! I absolutely love my new bed frame, it is very sturdy and very well made. The logs are beautiful and larger than I imagined. Assembly was very easy and I did it by myself with no help. The only thing I am worried about now is that sooner or later someone at The GoodTimber will realize that they must have made a mistake and charged me for the wrong item. I cannot believe how low the price was on this frame!!! I can honestly say that this was without doubt the best online buying experience I have ever had. I cannot conceive of anyone anywhere providing such a high quality bed frame no matter what price they charge. You guys are the best and I am going to tell everyone I know about how wonderful your products are!!!! Thank you so much!!!"

"I'm so sorry to give this a bad review. I was very hopeful for this recipe as my daughter is on a sugar & dairy free diet. The only thing I did different was use margarine instead of butter. I also cut the recipe in half & only cooked for 30 minutes in an 8 X 8. They came out very dry & broke in pieces when I tried to cut them. The flavour is..."
"I made these for my daughters "special day" at school. They were a real hit. After reading the other comments about the twinkies being hard to cut I put them in the freezer the night before. They made slicing a breeze!! Thanks for such a fun recipe."
"I found this recipe last year & didn't rate it. I am now going to make them again this year (lots of leftover candy) They are a very good chewy cookie with a crispy outside. The possibilites are endless with nuts & candies. I think I am going to use the glossete raisins in place of the normal raisins (maximize the useage of leftover candy) Tha..."
"I bought a salsa like this last summer in a mexican supermarket. It was so awesome (but expensive) So I searched it on this site & was delighted to find a recipe. I tried it this weekend when we had friends over & it tasted exactly like the one I bought. It was soooo good & I have already had a request for the recipe."
"Fabulous!! I made this for a lobster bake party we went to & it was a very hot day. I subsituted 1/2 of the water for watermelon vodka for an "adult version". It was very good."
"I would have loved to give this a higher rating. Sadly though it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The recipe didn't specify if it was the Firber One flakes or buds cereal. I had the buds so maybe that is why they turned out so dry & heavy. They did have a good flavour with all the cinnamon though. I am going to try this recipe again & add so..."
"Mmmmm, this was good. I had 2 helpings with milk & could have had more. I did add raisins & cinnamon & will probably experiment with some different add ins next time."
"Just made these for lunch & they were awesome. I love pancakes & now I don't feel guilty since this recipe is so high in protein & fibre. I added a little lemon zest for flavor & 1/2 tsp baking soda. I was plesantly surprised with the texture & my 4 yr old daughter loved them as well. They go very good with the home made blueberry syrup recipe ..."
"I made this tonight for a dinner party & used tart shells instead so people could try a variety of desserts. It made 24 but could have easily done 2 more as some were over flowing. They were very good, however I think the pie would have been richer, as there was alot more pastry flavor than I would have preferred. Very good though, I would make ..."


text: This bunch of hot college girls decided that they needed to blow off some steam. One of them decided that a CFNM sex party would be the way to go. They ordered the liquor and some well-hung strippers to provide the entertainment. They cranked up the tunes and the alcohol flowed so it was only natural to bring out the male strippers and get the CFNM sex party going. These gals had pretty much flushed their inhibitions down the drain after a few drinks so jumping at the chance to get hold of some strange stripper cock was in order.

Detox…then 're'-tox to detox?! So goes our lives.
With over 6,500 pesticides, fungicides and herbicides piling up in our water supply and clinging to the non-organic foods we consume, topped with 20,000 chemicals we cannot metabolize and rid our bodies of, our total toxic body burden is at an all time high!
The Columbia University School of Public Health reports that 95 percent of cancer is caused by compromised dietary choices and environmental toxins. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (really?), the average body is slammed with 210 micrograms of plasticizers (toxic phthalates) every single day.
What to do? Well, here are a few proactive options! Assess your toxic load? Nix those everyday stressors? (Fire your boss!) Eat only organic? Say no to anything in plastic? Sleep 8.5-9 hours per night? (Good luck with that!) Have your water analyzed? (Are you getting what you're paying for?) OR, sweat! Do colonics! Change your diet! Do a 30-day cleanse – or perhaps a gall bladder or liver flush.
Personally, I prefer the Ionic food detox bath. Sit back, relax, soak your feet in warm sea salt water and let the detox 'show' begin. The Ionic foot bath eliminates toxins, heavy metals, yeast and Candida from your lymphatic system, liver and kidneys, and cells and skin. Your skin is your largest eliminative organ. Toxins hopefully exit through your feet, armpits, the palms of your hands, and the top of your head. The Ionic system uses an 'array' and sea salt to activates an electrolyte reaction, which varies depending on the users, acidity/alkalinity. The color of the water changes as you detox, denoting where your toxins have accumulated.
Normally the presence of negative ions in the body helps to rid you of toxins via urination, defecation and sweating. So if you drink diet, sugary, caffeinated or alcoholic beverages in abundance, OR consume a highly processed dead food diet, OR do not drink enough water daily, nor sweat, your toxic load will generally be higher than it should be. The goal is to do two 30-minute sessions for five weeks.
Please note: This is not advised if you have an implanted, electronic medical device, such as a pacemaker; if you are pregnant or nursing; are currently undergoing radiation or chemotherapy; have open wounds on your feet; or for children under 8 years old.
For more information or to schedule your Ionic detox foot bath, please call 312-664-2288.

From the heart and hands of Myron Panteah comes a ring that symbolizes the importance of rain in the desert southwest. Finely detailed sterling silver frames a bezel set gray agate gemstone that shines with the light of nature; swirls of 14 karat yellow gold add extra eye appeal. The unique styling of this fine piece will elicit attention and the elongated shape is flattering to any hand. Heavy on the wow factor, this ring is sure to become a favorite. Measures 1-1/2" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
